“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that for you.Romina Klein glared coldly.“Besides, you should be the one explaining the situation.“Are you going to break your arm yourself? Or would you like my men to help instead?”Harvey York chuckled before picking up a die on the table, tilting his head to the side.“Are you sure that I’m the one cheating?“Don’t you know if you accuse me of something I didn’t do before this many people…“I can sue you for slander?”Romina scoffed.“Do it then! Should I call the police for you?“I want to see if any inspector would even stand up for you!”Everyone burst out laughing after hearing those words.“This guy doesn’t know what’s good for him, Ms. Romina!“He’s disrespecting you for cheating on your own turf! He’s also looking down on all of us!“I should just twist his arm off for you instead!“Hahaha!”Many people were showing bloodthirsty looks. Twisting off an arm and a leg was just something they did regularly.“That’s unnecessary.”Rom
Romina Klein has been maintaining Eve Clubhouse for many years. This place was also an important stronghold for the Wolven Tribe.And yet it was ruined by Harvey York just like that!From then onward, the reputation of this place was completely shattered!The prominent figures from the borders of Country H and Mongolia would no longer spend their money here.They would even find ways to get revenge.After all, so much of their hard-earned money was scammed here.Romina was on the verge of passing out after seeing the sight before her.“See? You should’ve just answered my questions in the first place.“Not only did you want my arm, but you also got these useless filths to threaten me.“What’s the point?Harvey sighed.“I didn’t intend things to go this way…”Then, Harvey looked at the crowd around him.“Eve Clubhouse has been scamming you for the longest time!“Don’t you want to get back what’s yours?“Or are you saying you people wouldn’t dare lay a single finger on this
Romina Klein gritted her teeth for a long while.“I don’t know the full detail…“But you should know who did all this to you.“The Klein family owed this person a huge favor.“He wanted us to fabricate a lie so that you’d stay locked up forever.“He was also the one who provided us with the evidence.“From a certain perspective, we were just doing as told.“He convinced us to do it mainly because we’re the wealthiest family in the outskirts. The police wouldn’t doubt us because of this.“That’s why our evidence is irrefutable.”“Who were the people who carried this out in the family?”“Asher Klein, a direct family descendant,” replied Romina quietly.“Good.”Harvey stood before patting Romina’s face.“Bring your men and come with me.“We’ll ask Asher about this too.“If both confessions are the same, you’ll be safe.“But if I find out that you even made a single lie about this, you’re dead.“Are you coming or not?”Harvey smiled while looking at Romina.She did not h
The next day.In a courtyard halfway up Scuva Mountains.This place was provided by Aenar Temple for people to practice an ascetic life.The place was called Mandrake Residence.Asher Klein sat near the edge of a cliff while looking out the window. He could not help but feel energized when seeing the billowing clouds.Beside him, a beautiful woman was making some tea.“Why would you come this early, Mr. Asher?“Don’t you despise this place the most?”The woman was from the Island Nations. She was an exchange student of Oaklands University and the university’s vice president, Nanako Kawashima.Asher briefly pondered about the situation before he frowned.“You don’t have to follow me here, you know.”Nanako smiled.“I think it’s only natural that I do after seeing you have something on your mind.“Besides, you should know that my uncle, the Kawashima monk who doesn’t teach, is currently exchanging interacting with the Aenar Temple.“I’m planning to introduce him to you soon
Knock knock knock!As Asher Klein was pondering if he should pounce on Nanako Kawashima, someone suddenly knocked on the door.“Come in.”Asher held himself back before quickly composing himself.A steward of the Klein family quickly came inside before whispering into his ear.“What?!“Eve Clubhouse was burned down?!“And Romina’s nowhere to be found?!”Asher quickly lost all color on his face.Romina Klein was in charge of the Klein family’s underground businesses.Not only did she have a huge amount of evidence of the family’s crimes, but she also had a group of powerful and loyal sacrificial soldiers.More importantly, she was the one who knew what happened to Harvey York from start to finish.One of the biggest reasons that Asher went into hiding was Harvey.Since one of the crucial people involved with him disappeared, this was no less than terrifying.“Did the family say anything about this?”The steward quickly changed his expression.“The eldest young master sen
Asher Klein froze.“What do you mean by that?”“As long as you marry me, the Kawashima family will use everything we have on the outskirts, the entire country, just for you to rise to power.“We have the money and the manpower.“The Klein family wouldn’t be able to oppose you as long as we have your back.“And when you rise to power, it’s only a matter of time before you destroy the Wolven Tribe, the three great tribes, and be included in one of the three great temples.”With Nanako’s words, Asher still had a bright future ahead of him.“And what do I have to pay for that?“This is a lot of help from the family…“What’s the price for that?”Nanako merely smiled.“There is none.“Not just that, we’ll even ask the Emperor to include you as one of the newest members of the royal family. Not only will you have your own land in the Island Nations in the future, but our child will also get the glory of inheriting the honor!”Asher’s eyes lit up. In reality, Nanako proposed that
“The Aenar Temple’s background, Aryan’s power, and Stefan’s connections…“Everything tells the world that this is a sacred place that cannot be desecrated!“The person I went up against is named Harvey York.“Even if he does find out that I’m the main perpetrator, he wouldn’t dare chase me all the way here!“As long as I don’t leave this place, I will never lose!“That bastard even provoked Stefan, of all people!“Even without that, Aryan wouldn’t let anyone touch me for the sake of the Aenar Temple!”Asher showed a confident look as if he had already won.He quietly swallowed a blue pill with some tea before showing a faint smile.“If he can’t even keep an important guest like me alive…“How is Aenar Temple supposed to survive in the future?”Nanako Kawashima smiled after hearing those words.“You really are competent, Asher!“Your intelligence knows no bounds!“I believe with the Kawashima family’s support…“The outskirts will definitely become one of the Island Nation
Billie Higgs hung up the call before seeming a little down.Whitley Cobb leaned on the chair in a dress. It was an alluring sight.Her long legs, covered by a pair of stockings, were quite seductive under the dim lights.Billie frowned while looking at her mother’s beautiful face.“Why did you ask me to call him in the first place, Mom?”Whitley swirled her glass of wine around.“There’s something you must know! I just got word…“Your fiance’s in great trouble!“Eve Clubhouse is burned to the ground and Romina’s nowhere to be found!“The Klein family announced that Asher has nothing to do with them!“Don’t you know what this means?”Billie was stunned.“What?”“Harvey might just be from the legendary York family!“Only people from that family would be this powerful!“Not only did he raze the Klein family’s clubhouse to the ground, he even made them cast away one of their powerful figures!”Billie frowned.“If that were the case, shouldn’t we distance ourselves from Ash
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
"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, you…"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 you…""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
