Sounds of gunshots were gone right as Harvey and Alani locked eyes.Rachel pulled the last trigger, gunning down yet another guard, before picking up another firearm and walking toward Harvey.She looked as if she would crush anyone who tried to go against Harvey.After seeing all the people lying on the ground powerless, Ridge and Kaysen’s faces immediately went pale. The prideful disciples wore horrible expressions as well.“Who the hell are you, kid?!” Ridge screamed. “Do you even understand the consequences of doing such a thing?! This is Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters! We have people who enforce the law here! How dare you show off here as you please?!”“No matter how good you are at fighting, can you beat the ten thousand disciples here? Can you beat the Eight Halls and thirteen branches of Heaven’s Gate?!” Kaysen yelled as well.“Going against us would mean going against all of Heaven’s Gate!“You’d be fighting the country’s Martial Arts Alliance along with all the sacred ma
Before Snake could say anything, Harvey calmly stepped forward. The tiles on the ground in front of him instantly cracked, and their shards flew all over the place.Fwoosh! In the blink of an eye, the so-called protectors of the Law Enforcement Hall were sent flying, clutching their chest. Some were completely knocked out after slamming into the corner of the wall, while others were shivering in pain.Everyone was crippled instantly.Kaysen and Ridge were shivering frantically, and their eyes kept twitching.‘This strength! He’s just too strong!’‘Even Quill at his peak didn’t seem that powerful!‘At this point, only the great elder and the second elder are capable of doing against him!’Snake kept changing expressions; she was still standing, but she knew full well that Harvey had spared her.His combat power was simply amazing!Snake froze instantly; she wouldn’t even dare move a single inch!Even the Great Protector, whom she idolized, didn’t seem capable enough to go
Kaiser shivered; if he wasn’t being forced to stand straight, he would’ve probably been kneeling on the ground or passed out already.While everyone was shocked by the Great Protector’s presence, Harvey only shrugged.“The Great Protector? Sounds impressive.“I wonder how much stronger you are compared to Kaysen.”The Great Protector squinted at Harvey.“You’re pretty cocky, kid!” he snarled.“Not only did you barge into a place like this to save a bunch of heinous criminals, but you even took advantage of the Heaven’s Gate’s higher-ups!“And now, you’re even ridiculing me!“Looks like you really don’t know just how powerful Heaven’s Gate really is, do you? Do you have any idea what the sacred martial arts training grounds represent?!”“They told me that already,” Harvey replied. “They’re kneeling right now. Are you doing the same or not?”“Kneel?” The Great Protector laughed, as if he heard the world’s greatest joke.“You have no chance for that anymore.“I gave you a chan
The Great Protector wanted to switch moves, but he was all too late.He had no choice but to commit, when at the next moment…Slap!The Great Protector felt a sharp pain on his face, and was sent flying. He slammed right into the steel door at the back.He quickly stumbled off the ground, pointing at Harvey; he wanted to say something, when blood gushed out of his mouth.The Great Protector was in despair; he felt nothing but sorrow. At this very moment, he felt a strong surge of energy sweeping around his body. He had to use his entire strength just to resist.Bam!He slammed his knees to the ground.He never thought that the young man in front of him was so terrifying. He trained for decades at hand, and yet, he was injured that easily.If Harvey had used a killer move, the Great Protector would’ve admitted defeat. The fact was, he only used a simple slap across the face.The Great Protector had no intention of fighting back at all at this very moment.The entire crowd w
At the Heaven’s Gate People Hospital…Harvey quickly sent Darwin and the others here instead of home.Shinsuke and the others were waiting there, but as long as they didn’t accomplish their goal, the Gibson family would be safe. Harvey didn’t have to worry because of that.However, Darwin and Prince’s injuries were all too heavy. Even if Harvey managed to keep their hearts and lungs, they still needed surgery to get better.Shay was fine enough; she’d be safe as soon as the drugs to weaken her body wore off.The hospital was still bustling even this late at night. As Heaven’s Gate’s dedicated hospital, the doctors hired here were all professionals. Not only were they proficient with physical injuries, but internal ones as well.Oddly, nobody came to treat Darwin and Prince even after ten minutes of Harvey bringing them here. The two nurses who were on standby were happily chatting with each other, as if nothing happened.Seeing that, Rachel couldn’t help but step forward.“Can
Darwin and Prince needed emergency rescue since they were badly injured; Shay on the other hand was mostly fine.Harvey got Shay a can of soda, then told Rachel and the disciples to keep an eye on the emergency room.“What happened when you came all the way here, Shay? Why did you three fall to the Law Enforcement Hall that easily?”Harvey believed that with Darwin’s personality, he’d definitely bring experts beside him. Even so, they all suffered a lot of losses before being locked up.If it wasn’t for Harvey, they would’ve died without even knowing why.Shay took a deep breath.“We had thirteen assassinations on us the moment we left Golden Sands. The hundred experts we had were already missing when we arrived at headquarters.“We ran into Heaven’s Gate’s Forbidden Army at the front gate.“They said that they knew what happened to us, so they wanted to save us and provide us protection… “We knew something was wrong, but we couldn’t just go against the Forbidden Army, eithe
The next day…After staying in the emergency room for an entire night, Darwin and Prince finally managed to wake up. However, they still needed to rest here for the time being.Harvey gave hundreds of thousands more to move them to the hospital’s biggest VIP ward, and arranged a few Longmen disciples to keep the two safe.It was already past ten when everything was settled.Harvey felt a little tired after staying up the entire night.The rest returned to the Gibson family’s residence.Quill’s funeral was already being arranged by Shinsuke.Seeing the fake smile on Shinsuke’s face, Harvey didn’t speak up about him telling Kaiser to help. Of course, he only wanted to make sure that Shinsuke didn’t do anything out of line. Plus, he didn’t trust Kaiser that much.It’d be best for the two to go against each other.Alani frowned when she saw how Harvey did everything; she was afraid he’d end up reaping the spoils. She went to a corner, and sent out a text she had already made befor
In the past, the Gibson family was powerful. With Quill’s protection, the family gained authority in Heaven’s Gate.But now…Devon chuckled.‘How ignorant can this family get?‘The Gibson family’s done for! Why can’t they see that?‘How dare they get an outsider to barge into the Imperial Prison!‘They got Darwin and Prince out, too!‘They’re lawless!‘That’s fine. The Forbidden Army had no excuse to search the Gibson family’s residence for the mental cultivation technique before…‘But now, we can do whatever we want!’Without a second thought, Devon showed a stern expression before he pointed at Lance and Clover.“You two! Give us the culprit who barged into the Forbidden Place!“If not, you’ll be charged for hiding criminals too!“That alone is enough of a reason for me to kill off your entire family!”Devon chuckled wretchedly.“Go! Question and capture anyone necessary! Kill anyone who tries to resist!“This is my order! Nobody else can change that!”Before the F
The opposing force got out of the helicopters after they landed, armed with weapons. Some were melee weapons, some were firearms, and they looked high and mighty all the way.Kenta had no choice but to step up. He raised his hand and yelled, "I'm from Fujihara…"But before he could even finish, someone from the other side had already pulled the trigger. A bullet streaked through Kenta's hair, and he finally broke a sweat when he realized what had just happened.Harvey knew very clearly that they were coming for him after seeing what happened. That was why he decided not to stay still anymore and stepped forward. He coldly said, "You're here for me, aren't you? Tell Isoroku to come talk to me."I have to say you are quite brave, Harvey. Calling me by name without any honorifics," A stern and cold voice came from a helicopter right before them. The door opened, and an islander slowly walked out. It was a man with white hair and beard.His figure was thin and even looked sickly, defi
"You're someone who has experience, too. You know that you'll need at least three hours to prepare to get this many military helicopters deployed. It's not something that you can do in an instant. It means that while you're still fighting with Sora and his men, Isoroku has been standing by in this place."Not to mention that we Fujiharas will never work with them before getting what we want. Which means that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew that you will most likely survive even if you're at a disadvantage. That's why they've been staying here for a long time."While everyone knew that Kenta was probably just spewing nonsense, Clarion was still partially convinced when he heard how Kenta made his argument sound plausible. Could it be that Kenta was not the one pulling the strings here?Harvey narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "At the very least, Kenta's right about his social standing being insufficient to work with Isoroku. Not to mention that now that they have obtai
At this time, the helicopter was passing through rows of mountains and valleys. This area was uninhabited. After passing through this uninhabited area, one would arrive at the Golden Triangle. Once one passed through the Golden Triangle, one would reach Hyperborea and finally Grand City.It was around this time that Harvey could feel a burst of murderous intent."Crap! Everyone, brace yourselves!" Clarion suddenly yelled as he looked in front of him from the front seats. He even took out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a deep huff to increase his mental focus as his expression darkened.Harvey quickly walked over to the front and narrowed his eyes. Then, he saw a swarm of helicopters flying in mid-air in a tight formation. Harvey looked at the flag on the helicopters with a smirk and gave Kenta a glance. "This is your so-called guarantee?"Kenta's expression also darkened as he looked in front in disbelief. After a while, he finally spoke in a shaky voice, "Forget about the helico
Daichi had already checked the Chapter of Ascension earlier back in Grand City, but he could not leave with it. Only after Harvey gave his green light would Rachel pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi.Harvey gave Kenta a look and then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Pass him the thing and escort him out."Harvey was straight-faced when he said that. While he had read it through, he did not believe that the Chapter of Ascension would really allow one to reach Unity between Nature and Man. It was not that Harvey was underestimating Hale, but as a martial art elite himself, he knew very well that there were many things required an epiphany to comprehend, and not just some so-called Chapter of Ascension.If that thing was really as effective as people said, Hale would not be hunted for more than a decade. In no time, a few hours went by. Kenta picked up his phone and after listening to the other side, he smiled. "You really are an honest man. Working with you is a very pl
Kenta continued to speak to Harvey in a chatty manner. "Everyone here can see how powerful you are. Unless we can kill you without any doubt, we won't be able to survive your revenge later on. That's why… You can trust me."Harvey looked at Kenta coldly. "Of course you won't be able to kill me. However, I need to make sure Mandy and my men are safe. That's why there's no need to waste your breath here."All you need to do is to give me an answer. Will you come with us? Before we leave, someone will let Daichi examine the Chapter of Ascension. Once we've left Sky Plane for about an hour, that person will then pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi. Don't worry. I'm a man of my word."Kenta smiled. "We'll believe you if you're willing to personally guarantee it. It's decided then. I believe we can work well together. Now, let's go."As soon as Kenta finished saying that, he waved his hand. All the Islander elites stepped aside despite the weapons in their hands. This was also a way
Slap!Harvey gave another slap at Jun's face."So what if I did? I'll kill you if you waste anymore of my time!" Before Jun could even finish, Harvey had already grabbed him by his neck. Onmyojis are physically weaker than most, so Jun could not fight back at all while being held like that."You fool! Release Mr. Jun!""Mr. Jun is one of the best among the onmyojis in Sky Plane!""Don't show any disrespect!"All the Islanders roared when they saw Harvey disrespected Jun so much. They quickly drew their long swords and pointed them at Harvey. Dozens of people also started to approach Mandy. Clarion and the others also reacted quickly, protecting Mandy behind them. The atmosphere between both sides became extremely tense in just one moment.Harvey's hand never released Jun's throat as he calmly turned to Kenta and said, "Alright, Kenta. Let's continue the discussion of our three conditions. The first condition is that you must escort us out of Sky Plane and guarantee our safety. A
"You really are very impressive, Kenta. It's quite rare for someone like you to exist within the Fujihara family," commented Harvey after he took a deep breath and loosened his fists. "I have a feeling that someone like you will eventually climb up the ladder. Who knows, you might be the next Island Nation's Emperor."All the Islanders around them had strange looks after they heard what Harvey had just said. Even Kenta's eyes twitched before he replied helplessly, "You're joking, Mr. Harvey. I'm just someone from the branch family. The emperor's throne has always belonged to the main branch and the main branch alone."Then, Kenta changed the subject after that. "Since it sounds like you have a change of mind, does it mean you're willing to fulfill your part of the promise?"Harvey calmly said, "Not exactly. This is just a simple trade, and so is the trade's content. I'll give you the Chapter of Ascension, and you promise three things. That's reasonable…"At this point, the mysterio
Looking at Kenta's expression, Harvey's eyes narrowed. The Islanders could become fanatical most of the time, and he knew that very well from how Kenta was presenting himself. Their people believed in collectivism to the point of radicalism. One single word from their superiors was enough to make them sacrifice themselves and fight to the bitter end, not to mention if they were convinced if it was for the greater good.In short, if he really refused to give them the Chapter of Ascension, then Kenta would really give up on this pretentious act and detonate the Emerald Jewel. However, while the Emerald Jewel could injure him, he knew it could not kill him. But, Mandy and the others were another case entirely. If the Emerald Jewel was detonated, none of them could escape.Harvey frowned, realizing that the situation was getting more complicated."Mr. Harvey, you understand that the Chapter of Ascension isn't worth the lives of the people here. Not to mention if you do manage to obtain
"Firstly, this is Sky Plane. This is the Sacred Martial Art Training Ground for the Island Nation. Based on the promise made between each of the Sacred Training Grounds, we can consider one as hostile if they enter without an invitation. That's why when you barged into this place without invitation and were suspected of murdering the citizens of Sky Plane, we have the right to stop you from leaving the place and investigate."Secondly, Mr. Sora is a citizen of Sky Plane. It is within reason for us to protect his safety. Thirdly, Grand City will need to give us a reasonable explanation for this."And finally, if any of you refuse to cooperate, then according to the laws of Sky Plane's Admin Board, we have the right to kill all the intruders!" said Kenta with a wide grin."I know you're extremely strong, Mr. Harvey. So strong that you're the best here. But the question is, what's the use if you have personal strength in this situation? Even if you can defeat a hundred, can you defeat
