Ordinary people would be scared witless with all that slander…However, Harvey only smiled. He crossed his arms, and approached Blaine. Then, before Blaine could react, he slapped Blaine. Slap!Blaine was sent flying, and slammed into the ground.Even if he was secretly an expert martial artist, he couldn’t react fast enough to prevent Harvey from hitting him. He thought he didn’t dodge because he got careless; he didn’t expect Harvey would do something like this to him.The crowd was dead silent.Who was Blaine again…?He was the young master of the John family! No matter how low-key he was, he was still one of the best young masters in the country. Yet, Harvey still dared to slap the man in the face under such circumstances…Who gave him courage?Azrael and the others looked surprised; they didn’t expect Harvey to be this fierce.Blaine touched his face, shocked. His face darkened instantly when he could feel his swollen face. He didn’t think that Harvey would hit him.
Harvey’s dominance made Blaine’s eyes twitch.Alani and the other women were shocked. Naturally, they didn’t think that Harvey would be more fierce than Blaine in such a situation.Blaine was one of the top ten families’ young masters! A prominent figure that everyone in Country H had no choice but to bow down to!And yet, he was completely suppressed by Harvey!Nothing made sense!Blaine’s guards were about to step forward, but they were instantly held back by the disciples pointing their firearms at their heads.The air immediately turned tenseThe guards knew they were quite good fighters, but they wouldn’t be able to survive if they went up against Heaven’s Gate.“Time’s almost up. You have thirty seconds.”Harvey looked at the Rolex on his wrist.“To be honest, I’d rather you not agree to my conditions. That way, I can crush you with all my might. After all, with our identities, we need a proper reason to do anything, right?”Blaine’s eyes twitched again, and his face w
“I’m sorry, Mr. Quill! This was my fault!“I apologize! I do hope that you can forgive me before you go!”Different from before, Blaine’s arrogance was replaced by a sense of humbleness. He didn’t seem like a young master at all then.Everyone was shocked, but they had to admit that it was quite impressive for him to be so flexible. Only a true elite like him could endure this much humiliation.Even Harvey started to show a playful expression when he looked at Blaine.A prideful and arrogant man would be easy to deal with, but… A flexible man who was prepared to endure any hardship would no doubt be tough to deal with.When Blaine was done apologizing, he finally stood.“We’re leaving!”He left, glaring at the group of people who came to cause trouble in the first place.“Did I say that they can leave?” Harvey exclaimed coldly.“What else do you want?!” Alani yelled.She and the rest glared furiously at Harvey. Blaine had already kneeled for their mistakes. Was Harvey actual
Blaine took a deep breath.“There’s a saying… What goes around, comes around.“It’s never too late to take revenge. I won’t let this go easily. I’ll make sure that Harvey gets the lesson he deserves.”Alani rolled her eyes at Blaine after hearing him skimping past the subject.“Why don’t you deal with him yourself, Young Master John? If you sneak up on him, he won’t know what hit him!“Of course, if you don’t want him dead, you should just go for the people around him! Not only would he suffer, but there’s also a chance he’d simply collapse!“That way, we’d win without a fight! I’ll make sure the higher-ups know of your achievements! They’ll…”Slap!Blaine swung the back of his palm across Alani’s face.She screamed in pain, and slammed into the corner of the car. Her body trembled profusely. An unspeakable force was hidden in the seemingly-simple slap.Alani covered her face with a bitter expression.“What are you doing, Young Master John?!“Don’t forget! Not only am I fro
Kairi approached Harvey and observed him up before sighing.“Thanks for everything for the past few days.“Blaine finally took action, but you managed to take him down twice. It’d be hard for you two to reconcile at this point.“Our battle with Blaine will be completely public now too.“He has Westley with him as well. He’s just a lackey for Emery, but he’s still a prominent figure who can do whatever he wants to in Wolsing.“Two slaps for two people. There’s a storm coming to Golden Sands soon enough…”Harvey put his cup down.“Isn’t this exactly what you hoped for?“The city’s situation is as clear as day. The wealthy families of Golden Sands need to pick a side now. Either the Johns keep their control, or the Patels will unite the entire city.“This is good for you, no? It’s always better to be decisive.“Things can only be handled neatly that way.”Kairi chuckled bitterly.“I do want things to end neatly… But you should know that I’m not able to take control of the situ
Blaine took a deep breath as if to calm the unusual throbbing of his body, before respectfully taking a step forward.“I’m here to see you again, Aunt.”“I told you many times, Blaine. I’m a monk now. You may call me Master Mograine.”The monk turned around before glancing at Blaine with an annoyed look. She was glaring fiercely, but her eyes were still a captivating gaze.Blaine smiled.“You’ll always be my aunt. It doesn’t matter if you’re a monk or not. This place is yours to stay for as long as you want.Master Morgraine chuckled, then rubbed Blaine’s head.“It’s been a while since you came here. Is something troubling you?”“Not only are you one of the four elders of the Immortal Pavilion, but you’re also a miracle doctor who even countless wealthy families couldn’t get,” Blaine said.“It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that you have a high status. With my identity, I wouldn’t dare show up all the time! You might just hate me if I come too much!” he added.“You’ve been a
“I hope you can use your status to have a word with Representative York. I’ll be able to apologize in person after that.“I’m being sincere, Aunt! I can take any punishment!“I just hope that Representative York can stop making things hard for the Johns… I can’t drag the family down with my mistake alone…”Blaine looked as if he was ready to change.Master Mograine slowly sat down before sipping her tea.“Representative York? The man who defeated all of India’s top talents in Flutwell? He’s in Golden Sands?”Blaine sighed.“There are things that you don’t know, since you’re secluding yourself.“Not only is he here, but he’s also been causing trouble in the entire city.“Heaven’s Gate underwent a complete change of power because of him.“He even killed Layton because of this.”Blaine casually explained everything Harvey had done in a mere few sentences. He didn’t imply anything, nor did he add his feelings into the equation; it was just a casual explanation.After a long tim
“You’re staying.”Master Mograine let out a cold chuckle.“I’m just an outsider, but my family still belongs in the world.“I haven’t left ever since I joined the sacred martial arts training ground because I couldn’t let my family go.“You people are my worst obstacles!“It’s only natural to do something for you this once.“I’ll show Representative York just how deep the waters run in Golden Sands!“Even the sacred martial arts training grounds have no choice but to humble themselves!“What’s the point of that man’s existence when all he can do is flaunt using the Martial Arts Alliance’s name?“I’ll make sure he gets a good lesson!”Blaine John gave a horrible expression.“That’s no good…“You haven’t fought in many years.“Harvey York was capable of killing Layton Surrey!“Legends say that he’s also on par with a God of War…“This is just…”Master Mograine scoffed.“Do you think I’m not capable of the same thing?”“I know you’re a God of War, but…”“There won’t be
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
