Vroom!Half an hour later, the police car stopped in front of the police station in the outskirts’ new district.“Out!” the inspector snarled, glaring coldly at Harvey.Harvey casually walked out before glancing around him. The outskirts were a big place, but the resources here were inferior compared to big cities.Other than being a police station, this was also a place to detain people. Simply put, before being convicted, those who broke the law would be kept here for forty-eight hours.Instead of taking Harvey to the main building, the inspector took him to the side, where a black building stood.Two other inspectors glared coldly at him inside the checkroom.“Please remove your belongings before entering. When you’re cleared of your suspicion, we’ll return everything to you again.”A plastic bag was thrown on top of the wooden board in front of Harvey.The inspector appeared somewhat greedy as he glared coldly at Harvey. Harvey smiled at the inspector; he wasn’t in a rush
“Oh!”Realization dawned on Harvey, and he slapped his head.“You’re not talking about the bead I bought, are you? Why didn’t you say so in the first place?”He sighed.“There wouldn’t be so many misunderstandings if that was the case. What a shame!”“Enough nonsense! Take it out already! If you’re deemed guilty, then we have to confiscate the bead!” yelled the inspector. Harvey smiled. “It’s not that I don’t want to. I just don’t have it.”“You don’t?!” The inspector placed the barrel of his firearm on Harvey’s head. “Do you want to die?!”“No need to be that scary, inspector… Let me find an excuse and explain the situation first.“I only bought the bead because it can protect me from disasters. “When you people pointed your guns at me at the highway, I immediately understood.“I was in deep trouble! It was time for the bead to show its effect! So, I split it in half. “Still, it doesn’t seem like it’s working at all. Even small fries like you are causing me trouble righ
“Harvey! You’ll suffer a horrible death for this!” the inspector roared, his tone fierce but desperate.“You wouldn’t be able to see that, though.”Harvey tapped the inspector’s face while adjusting his collar, then fearlessly pulled out the ID in the latter’s pocket.“Freddie Robbins? What a lame name.”Harvey played around with the ID.“I have other peculiar hobbies aside from having a lot of money, Inspector Freddie.“I help people decorate houses. Would you be in need of that service? I can look at your house for free if you want.”Harvey slapped Freddie in the face, making him stumble. The other inspectors glared furiously at Harvey, but none could do anything. Their backs were drenched with cold sweat as they looked at Harvey; at that moment they felt extremely guilty.A man who dared to break a 1.3 billion dollar bead in half, and assert his dominance over someone like Stefan…Was surely far superior compared to nobodies like them.“What’s this? You’re still not open
“How dare an outsider go against a prominent figure here?! At this point, he’s just digging his own grave!“I’m warning you, Harlan!“In the first place, you’re barely considered family. If you get involved with an outsider, nobody can save you when you get into trouble!”Whitley crossed her arms as she strode into the main hall of the police station.Billie hesitated to speak; she had no choice but to remain invisible as her parents argued. “Do whatever you want, Whitley. If you don’t want to get involved, then leave already,” Harlan said, frowning. “I don’t need your help, anyway.”“Oh? Is that so? Who was the one who walked circles around me after getting the news? Who was the one who only dared to come after I said so?”Whitley’s face was filled with disdain. “I’m warning you, Harlan! I don’t care if you’re garbage. But, I will never allow my daughter to marry one as well!“I don’t care what kind of relationship you have with Harvey. I don’t care how long you two go back
The inspectors froze, revealing horrible expressions.At this point, it wasn’t about bailing Harvey…‘Don’t you understand just how impressive the person in front of you is…?‘Even the captain was humiliated by him! We don’t dare open our mouths in front of him!‘And yet, you look as if we’re taking advantage of him?! What a joke! We wouldn’t dare!’Whitley frowned. “Did you forget what I told you?” she snapped coldly at Harlan. “All you talk about is bailing him out! He lives in your villa that I bought with my own money! How ignorant can you get?”She then smiled at the inspectors.“Can you give us some space to talk?”The two instinctively glanced at Harvey; seeing his calm expression, they walked out hesitantly.Harlan took a seat in front of Harvey, and started to speak. “What happened, Harvey? You need to tell me, so I can fix the problem.”Facing Whitley’s disdain and Harlan’s worry, Harvey came to his senses.“Thank you for caring about me, Uncle Harlan, but I’ll b
Harvey instinctively looked at Billie, and saw her excited expression. He was completely speechless.‘Aren’t you a little too confident? Do you really think I’m actually interested in you?’Despite that, Harvey was moved to see Harlan trying to save him despite the latter’s family in uproar. He smiled at Harlan and began to speak, completely ignoring Whitley in the process.“Thank you for this, Uncle Harlan.“Don’t worry. I’m not interested in Billie. The arranged marriage was just a blank promise, anyway. No need to put that to heart.“As for this mess, I can deal with it myself.”Harlan froze, filled with disbelief.Whitley was shocked at first, but then her face turned cold. She was certain Harvey was either playing dumb, or trying to bait sympathy.“Did you hear that? You came all the way here to save him,” she snarled, scoffing, “but what happened? He doesn’t even care about you! What are you still staying here for? Are you that sentimental?”Whitley dragged Harlan out
Harlan sighed; he knew he had no way to deal with his wife.“He’s still family to us, Whitley…” he said. “Are you insane?” Whitley chuckled coldly. “He said he doesn’t want anything to do with Billie anymore. If that’s the case, I hope he rots in the building for the rest of his life!”Not just Harlan, even Billie frowned after hearing those words.“I don’t like Harvey, but there’s no need to talk like that either, Mom,” she said. “That’s right! He’s a kind man who can fight well. He has a good relationship with the Surrey family’s fifth lady, too,” Judith said. “Someone like him shouldn’t be locked up!”Whitley scoffed, and sized up Judith.“Since you have a good relationship with my daughter, I’ll let you in on a secret.“Harvey provoked Stefan himself! That bastard doesn’t know what he got himself into, but the Surrey family’s different.“Look here! Do you think he can get out of here without spending three to five years in jail? If that’s the case, I’ll eat up the floorb
“Of course, I believe that none of our students would do something like this.” Asher smiled faintly. “No doubt about that.”He then stopped right next to Harlan and Whitley, and began to speak to them with great respect.“Hello, sir, ma’am. I heard that you two and Harvey go way back. It’s a shame! I was in the tower too, but I couldn’t stop this from happening either.”Asher deeply looked into Billie’s eyes.“I didn’t do enough for him.”“What are you saying, Young Master Asher? What happens to Harvey has nothing to do with you!” Whitley quickly said. “That bastard has been staying in a big city for way too long! He believes that everyone is equal. He doesn’t understand just how different everyone is from each other!“He’ll suffer a horrible death for going against Mr. Stefan! Not just that, he’ll drag the entire Higgs family to the ground with him too…”Billie frowned after hearing her mother’s words. “Enough, Mom.”“Enough? Can’t we even talk about what Harvey did?” Disdai
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
