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
Devon was shivering in anger after hearing those words.“You want to die, you bastard?!”He only came here after receiving a secret report. A disciple of Quill outside of the family managed to take Darwin and the others away.That disciple also had the mental cultivation technique.It was why Devon came with his men as soon as possible. Not only was he planning to crush the Gibson family, but he was also planning to obtain the technique and become a God of War.He wouldn’t just leave because a nobody came out to insult him.What a joke that would be!“Go! Take them all away! Kill everyone who resists!”Devon changed his expression, and furiously waved his hand.The Gibson family went pale, and they all felt like screaming at Harvey. But before they could, Rachel took a step in front of Harvey, ready to go against the Forbidden Army.Bang, bang, bang!Loud gunshots were heard; Rachel took action without holding back. The Forbidden Army couldn’t even react as she grabbed two f
‘What the hell?‘The Great Protector?‘The head of the Law Enforcement Hall?‘And the warden of the Imperial Prison?‘They’re all prominent figures of Heaven’s Gate!‘Why would they show up here now?‘Why are they being so respectful?‘Even Quill wasn’t able to get these people to act this way!’Devon’s eyes twitched, and he instinctively let go of his sword.His men weren’t idiots, either; they knew they were going against someone way stronger than them. They quickly stumbled out of the way before hiding in the corner.“Not bad. You’re pretty early,” Harvey said, looking at the Great Protector and the others.“I’ll remove your restrictions for a while, but they won’t disappear easily. “You’d need me to remove it every year.“If not, you’ll turn into cripples.”Harvey stepped up, and patted the four. “I hope you know how to do chores.”The surging energy in their bodies shrunk, and they could barely feel it.While the Great Protector and the others were relieved, and
His hands were tied up, and there was a stinky sock in his mouth. It was a miserable sight.However, his vengeful gaze was enough to show that he hadn’t fully given up yet.Harvey nodded; a Longmen disciple pulled the sock out of Ricky’s mouth.“You bastard! How dare you?“Don’t you know that this is completely heinous?“You kidnap me, Ricky Lowe?!“Do you even understand the consequences of your actions?!”Ricky gritted his teeth while he screamed his lungs out.“Let me tell you something! I belong to Heaven’s Gate!“My status in the family is only inferior to Calvin!“I can get your entire family destroyed for doing this to me!”Harvey looked at the Great Protector and the rest. “Looks like your methods are pretty flawed. This young master here doesn’t know what situation he’s in right now.”“This is my fault! I apologize!” the Great Protector said respectfully.He then stomped Ricky’s leg, snapping it in half.Kaysen came forward and snapped his other leg as well. Ridg
Ricky kept changing expressions, as if he had something to say.But he understood that the Lowe family would chase him to the ends of the earth, even if Harvey spared his life.Harvey glanced calmly at Ricky; he naturally knew what a small fry like that was thinking.“Take him away. Give him half an hour. Dig a deeper hole if he doesn’t give us anything useful.The Great Protector and the others nodded respectfully before quickly dragging Ricky away.Devon, who had been watching everything, instinctively shivered.He wanted to scream at Harvey and the others to let Ricky go; after all, it was a blatantly humiliating thing for him to watch everything unfold in front of his eyes.That said, he wasn’t an idiot. He knew that he’d end up more horribly than Ricky if he said a single word.Even the Great Protector, Kaysen, and Ridge would be enough to make his life a living hell, let alone Harvey.Alani suddenly spoke up at this moment.“Isn’t that a little overboard, Sir York?“Ri
Harvey looked calmly at Ricky, and signaled Rachel to turn on the camera.“Talk. You have one chance.“Hopefully everything you say now is exactly the same as what you told them.“I’m a civilized man. I don’t want to kill you, but you better not toy with me.”Seeing Harvey’s calm expression, Ricky instinctively shivered. If the Great Protector frightened him, then Harvey’s expression was enough to make him feel nothing but despair.“I’ll talk… I’ll tell you everything,” he said after taking a deep breath, his voice hoarse. “Quill came to headquarters to deal with the outer elder being killed.“The Lowe family and the Bowie family finally had a chance to deal with him. So, they requested to retrieve the leader’s badge.“But Quill declined, and a huge fight happened after that.“The great elder and the second elder were no match against him.“After the fight, the Lowe family and the Bowie family’s reputation went completely down the drain. The cheers for Quill to become the ne
Before Devon could come to his senses, he instinctively slammed his knees to the ground.When he looked at Harvey, it felt like staring in the face of God. The weak defenses in his heart crumbled at this very moment.“Of… Of course…“Young Master Calvin told me to come…“He received reports.“The person who had the mental cultivation technique came back to the Gibson family’s residence.“He’s a step ahead of everyone…”Devon didn’t have a single thought of retaliating against Harvey. It couldn’t be helped; what could he even amount to when Ricky himself kneeled?“Where’s Calvin?” Harvey demanded. Devon’s eyes twitched.“He’s in the Heaven’s Hotel… He’s having a bachelor’s party with Ms. Emory. The prominent figures of Heaven’s Gate’s younger generation are there as well…”“So everyone’s gathered together, huh…?”Harvey smiled, then glanced at Alani.“I’ll be visiting Young Master Calvin. Are you coming?”Alani’s eyes twitched, and she showed an odd expression. “I’ll pass
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
