Under everyoneâs puzzled gazes, Lorel rushed out with a pale face. She quickly lifted Roger up. Seeing his swollen face and blood coming out of the corner of his mouth, sadness filled her eyes. âWeâre all classmates here, Harvey! How dare you do this to him?!âLorel held Roger with a furious glare. She was like a wolf. Even if Harvey was strong⊠She was ready to go against Harvey at any cost.âI already went easy on him,â Harvey said.Lorel scoffed, then pointed at Rogerâs face.âYou call this going easy?! This has to be intentional! Youâre heinous! Youâd do everything just to be famous in university!âLorelâs eyes were filled with nothing but hate.Not only was the man she liked completely embarrassed, but the entire university would probably turn into a massive joke after the incident.âItâs all because of Harvey! Doesnât he understand that itâs best for everyone if he just gave up?!ââIâm heinous?â Harvey smiled. âIf I was the one slapped aside and coughing blood on the
âYouâre trying to recruit Young Master Roger?âThe coachâs eyes twitched, and he showed a horrible expression.âLet me tell you something! If the head coach was here⊠You wouldnât be allowed to show off here!âMr. Garry already told us! If Young Master Roger is under his wing, heâll teach him everything he knows! Youâre quite talented, but youâre nothing in front of someone like Mr. Garry!âA lot of studentsâ eyes lit up with confidence after hearing those words.âThatâs right! Mr. Garry is a true expert! Heâs completely undefeatable in the outskirts! Youâre not allowed to insult someone like him!ââYou should learn under Mr. Garry, Young Master Roger! In just three yearsâno, three months, you can beat the shit out of that guy as you please!âRoger sent a text on his phone, ignoring everyoneâs words in the process.Three months was too long for him. He needed to reclaim his pride immediately. If not, he wouldnât have the face to stay at the university.Harvey stared calmly at
Many were clad in robes, as if they had martial arts skills.Hundreds of people rushed fiercely towards Harvey, surrounding him completely.Harvey sighed; he didnât think Roger couldnât handle that bit of shame.As expected, the crowd split apart before revealing Rogerâs swollen face. He was with Teo and Lorel.Roger had completely lost his cool; at that very moment, he was blatantly showing his arrogance as a young master.He slowly strutted forward; even with his swollen face, a lot of the women around still bowed respectfully to him.The young master of the Mammoth Branch was a powerful title. In the outskirts, the title represented utter dominance. Nobody would dare go against a man with a title like that.Roger emerged from the crowd, glaring coldly at Harvey. âDidnât think youâd see me so soon, did you?ââNo, I didnât,â Harvey replied. âYou truly disappoint me. I wanted to lead you since you showed some talentâŠbut after seeing your lack of humility, I donât think your tal
Teo didnât seem angry at all.âYouâre right, Young Master Roger. Iâll keep that in mind for next time!ââThere will be no next time,â Lorel said coldly. âItâs my first time seeing someone so disrespectful towards Young Master Roger!ââSo youâre saying that youâre ignorant,â Harvey commented.âYouâŠâLorel was shivering in anger; she didnât think that Harvey would have that sharp of a tongue.Roger couldnât bear seeing this any longer. He waved his hand, stopping everyone from speaking. He then took a step forward, squinting at Harvey.âSince youâre a good fighter, Iâll give you a chance.âBreak your arms right now. Grovel in front of university as an apology tomorrow morning. Iâll let this slide if you do.âHow does that sound?ââPretty bad. I have no intention of harming myself. You have no right to demand me to kneel, either. But, I can let you off the hook if you kneel in front of me right now,â Harvey replied. âYou!âRoger was infuriated.âDonât think I donât know who
The cars stopped right in front of the crowd.As the doors opened, many fierce men emerged. These people were just hired by Ernie after Creedâs incident. Every single one of them was an expert martial artist, capable of fighting ten people at once.At first, Ernie didnât want to bring this many peopleâŠBut after his experience, he felt that itâd be better if he did. These expert martial artists were superior compared to the rich playboys Roger brought. They were professionals.Ernie went out of the middle car soon after. He was filled with pride as he strutted forward, his arms crossed. After dealing with the outskirts branchâs incident, he was given many benefits and authority. Those were blocking his way instinctively moved aside. With every fierce step he took, everyone around him could immediately feel their legs giving out.âYouâre finally here!âTeo showed a passionate expression after seeing Ernie.âPerfect timing! Thereâs a difficult student that came from the new
Everyone instinctively froze.Roger, Teo, and the others were showing sluggish looks when looking at Harvey.âIs he fearless or what?âCanât he tell just how impressive Young Master Ernie is?âHarveyâs only being supported by relatives of the Higgs family!âEven Harlan wouldnât be able to protect himself against Young Master ErnieâŠâWhatâs the point of pretending? Who gave him that courage?âJudging from Harveyâs confidence, Roger and the others were convinced that he wanted to die.âHe doesnât know his limits at all, Young Master Roger!â Lorel snarled.âYou should just get your family here as well! Make sure he gets taught a lesson he wonât forget! Let him know that he should kneel whenever he sees you!âRoger agreed with Lorel. He made a few more calls, then crossed his arms while glaring at Harvey.The beautiful women were looking at Harvey with disdain as well.âAs expected from a man from a big city! Aside from being a little cleaner, he has no talent at all!âErnie w
Teo got more excited. The more Harvey showed off, the quicker and more dreadful his death would be.Teo instantly jumped, pointing at Harvey with a cold smile.âLet me tell you something, Harvey! Itâs useless for you to kneel now! Now that Ernieâs pissed, youâre in deep trouble for sure!âLorel showed a prideful expression, and puffed up her chest.âDonât think anyone would stand up for you after you die!âEven if Harlan knows that we did this⊠He wouldnât dare make a sound about it, either!âA relative like him has no right to go against the four great tribes! His wife does seem a bit more capable, but would she even stand up for you?âDonât think too much. Your fateâs been sealed at this point!âLorelâs finger was almost right on Harveyâs head.âWhat are you doing, you stupid bitch?!âAt that moment, Ernie finally came to his senses. He swung the back of his palm, slapping Lorel to the ground.Teo said instinctively, âYou got the wrong person, Ernie! YouâŠâSlap!Before h
Shocking!Unbelievably shocking!Ernie was kneeling in front of everyone!More importantly, he even asked Harvey to forget everything he said!Everyone could only hear their minds explode.Harvey, on the other hand, showed a calm expression. If it was any ordinary student, they Ernie would have crushed that student. âThis guyâs probably used to taking advantage of people, huhâŠ?âHarveyâs expression turned cold.âYou want me to let you go?â Harvey asked. âYou think you can learn your lesson if I do?âErnie shivered before he instinctively slapped himself in the face.âI was wrong! I was arrogant! I took advantage of everyone!âIâm being sincere, Sir York! Please, give me a chance! There wonât be a next time! I promise!âAfter seeing Ernieâs timid expression, the crowd couldnât say a single word even if they wanted to.Harvey calmly tapped Ernieâs face.âItâs good that youâre trying to change. But remember, everyone needs to atone for their wrongdoings. No matter the cost!
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 reasonableâŠ"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
"Mr. Harvey, I know how powerful you are and how invincible you can be. I also have a lot of respect toward you and wouldn't dare show you any insolence," explained Kenta with a harmonious smile. "However, I need to negotiate with you as it's part of my duties. I hope you can calm down so we can talk."First of all, Ms. Mandy is alright. While it looks like you have to come and save her, you need to trust me when I said if it's not for our effort, the men from Origin Sword Style wouldn't have waited until today. With their powers, if we didn't try and stop them with everything we can, Ms. Mandy would be a corpse now. You have to give credit where credit is due, don't you think? I believe someone of your caliber won't deny it, right?"Secondly, I can swear by the name of the Ruling Royal Family that everything that happened today had nothing to do with us. Since we have decided to make a trade with you, we won't stab you in the back. Our conscience is clear when it's regarding this."
There were two men in extravagant yet classical outfits in the helicopter. Then, one of the men who were a little paler got out of the helicopter. The other man simply showed his face in the shadows of the helicopter's cabin.The man with the pale face gave Harvey a smile and bowed to him from a distance. His etiquette was perfect, and he was remarkably well-mannered.Then, he gave Harvey a gentle smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Harvey. Your reputation precedes you. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the persons in charge of the Sky Plane Admin Board. I'm Fujihara Kenta, a member of the Island Nation's ruling royal family. I'm also Daichi's younger brother. My brother has just given me a call saying that he's waiting for you at Grand City's Paradise Island Restaurant. He hoped that you could deliver the Chapter of Ascension as promised."Harvey's expression turned cold. After signaling Clarion to hold their positions and to protect Mandy, then he walked over and narrowed his eyes.
Mandy looked a little shaken in the smoke, but after she had regained her composure, there was a hint of calmness in her eyes. But the moment she saw Harvey, there was no hiding her joy.The two of them looked at each other. It seemed like it had been a very long time since they last met each other, especially after such a struggle.After hesitating a little, Mandy said breathlessly, "Harvey, youâŠ"And then, she could not continue after that. From being husband and wife, and arriving at this point in time. All she could say was that this was fate. Mandy did not even know how to face Harvey anymore. She was worried that it was all a dream, a dream that she had while she was dying. And once she awakened, she would once again be pulled back into a reality of despair.Once she was sure that it was not a dream, she suddenly cried. "Harvey, it really is youâŠ""I'm sorry. I was a little late. I should have come sooner," said Harvey as he walked over and held Mandy in his arms. He was fee
After Sora had said his piece to Harvey, he immediately roared, "Scram! All of you, move aside! That way, I can consider letting you all live! Otherwise, none of you can leave Sky Plane alive!"Slap!Harvey was not letting Sora have his way. Instead, he slapped Sora's face to the point where he fell to the ground. "Do you think you have the right to order me around?"Sora crawled back up and angrily yelled, "You dare to touch me, you fool?!"Slap!Harvey gave another slap. "So what if I touch you? You think I can't? Come now. Tell me who's the one behind all this?"Sora coldly replied, "There's no one else except me!"Slap!Harvey delivered another slap. "You? It's not that I'm trying to underestimate you, but someone with your brain can't think of such a scheme. Not only did someone leak out information to me, having Sverker to wait for me, even you are here to humiliate my woman. And you tell me there's no one else pulling the strings?"Harvey's expression turned cold. "I'm
All the Origin Sword Style elites only had horror-streaked faces when they saw Sora standing face to face with Harvey. They did not dare to make any move at all. There was no question about it. Harvey's decisiveness and calmness had already filled their hearts with terror to the point that Harvey's gaze were enough to make the elites shudder and fall on their knees.When faced with someone so powerful like Magnus, they had already lost the faith to make any attacks.Harvey looked at Sora, whose face was pale. With a smile, he said, "Do you want my woman to undress?"Sora's eyes twitched as he instinctively wanted to retreat. But in the end, he managed to compose himself. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Impossible! How can you be alive? Sverker went to stop you together with 500 Origin Sword Style elites! It was enough to kill multiple True Warriors! How is it possible that you're appearing before me unharmed!" Sora was almost screaming in the end. There was despair and regret in
