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
Whitley Cobb showed an arrogant look.She misjudged Harvey York’s character before…However, the Higgs family did him a huge favor. The arranged marriage between him and Billie Higgs was also legit.Since that was the case, so what if she fought for the opportunity?Was he just going to cling to Harlan Higgs for the rest of his life?In Whitley’s eyes, if Harvey was really the young master of the York family making a comeback…She would even give her own body to him, let alone her daughter!After all, the family needed to share the responsibility!“Even the Wolven Tribe and the four great tribes look up to the ancient family!“The three great temples also have no choice but to pay their respects!“Oh, Billie! As long as we can confirm Harvey’s identity…“We’ll become top-rated figures of the outskirts in the near future!”Whitley put all of her grievances of marrying the wrong person into Billie at this very moment.She believed this was the only way to fulfill her dreams.
The security guard ahead quickly changed his expression.“I don’t know who you’re looking for!“But we will never sell out…”Crack!Romina Klein stepped forward before instantly breaking the security guard’s leg.The security guard was trembling in pain when he finally spoke.“They’re in the main hall!“They’re all praying in the main hall…”Then, Romina glanced at Harvey York.“The Mandrake Residence’s main hall is a shrine. I’m afraid…”Harvey calmly walked forward with his arms crossed.He did not care if he was facing against God.Let alone causing trouble in a mere shrine…-Inside the main hall.A faint scent wafted throughout the hazy place, immediately invigorating the people inside.Every corner was decorated with items that were bright yellow.Hundreds of futons were placed inside the shrine.Then again, nobody was praying just yet. The ceremony had yet to start.Those people were formed into smaller groups, happily chatting with each other. No matter the p
The people present were showing odd gazes.‘Don’t these people know what this place is?’‘Besides, this is Aryan Augustus’ main stage! He’s an impressive monk of today’s generation!’‘Not only are they being extremely disrespectful, but they’re just looking for their deaths at this point!’Before the crowd was even done talking, Romina Klein waved her hand before her sacrificial soldiers came forward.The soldiers raised their firearms before pointing them at the crowd, completely ignoring the occasion they were in.No matter how calm and collected the wealthy people were, they still screamed in fear while stumbling back.They looked horrible, as if dealing with actual bandits on the outskirts.Asher Klein’s expression instantly darkened when he saw Harvey York and his entourage.“Harvey?!“Romina?!”Asher did not expect Romina to be on Harvey’s side and that he would cause trouble here ruthlessly.He was dead set on going up against anyone who came his way.But this was t
“If I were you, I’d turn around and grovel before the entrance as an apology while there’s still time!” exclaimed Asher Klein after giving a cold chuckle.“If not, you’ll die a horrible death!“At least know your limits before coming here!“There are some things that you shouldn’t do without enough power!“Listen to me, or you’ll have to pay a great price!”Billie Higgs stepped out after being nudged by Whitley Cobb.“Don’t be reckless, Harvey!“Mom and I had a deal with Asher! We’ll discuss your situation after this!“Don’t worry! We’ll ensure your name’s cleared when we discover the truth!”Harvey did not expect Billie to be here. He glanced at Whitley’s pampering look before immediately realizing what she was trying to do.It would look bad to hold grudges against someone who already apologized.“Thank you for your concern, you two.“I’ll remember this.“That said, I’ll handle this on my own.”Whitley stepped forward with a smile.“Listen to me, Harvey.“You shouldn’
“Do you figure I should just let this all go?“This is a sacred place indeed…“But it’s exactly that I should rid this place of heinous people like him!“I’m only here because I have a clear conscience!“I can safely tell you all that this is personal.“If you just watch the show as I take Asher out of here, then you won’t be harmed.“To show my apology, I’ll pay for everything here today.“Consider this compensation for your mental loss.“That said, don’t blame me for what happens next if you people decide to go against me.Harvey glared coldly.“In any case, nobody can stop me from taking Asher out of here.“Not even you two.”Harvey glanced at Billie Higgs and Whitley Cobb.The two froze. They were rendered speechless.A sense of regret came to their minds. If they knew Harvey was that impressive, they would not have gone against him in the first place.Whitley would have pushed her daughter to him at first sight.She awkwardly backed away after hearing Harvey’s word
Bam!Before the man was even done talking, Romina Klein had already kicked him to the ground with an annoyed expression.“Stop yapping already!”The crowd was showing righteous looks, ready to take their revenge.Romina pulled out her firearm before pulling the trigger at the ceiling.Bang!The people quickly retreated, afraid they would lose their lives.It was one thing to stand up for the benefit of their circle, but it was another to lose their lives along the way.“How dare you?!“What do you think this place is?!”When Harvey York and the others were about to take away Asher Klein, a raged but dignified yell could be heard from the back.Harvey and Romina instinctively looked over before seeing a handsome man in an off-white robe walking out with a dozen others behind him.It was none other than Aryan Augustus, whom Harvey met back in the Surrey family’s residence.An alluring woman followed behind him.It was Miley Surrey!Stefan Augustus’ woman!The crowd’s eyes
Asher Klein was deliberately trying to fan the flames.He knew that Aryan Augustus had no choice but to intervene since this was the Mandrake Residence.If given a good enough reason, Aryan would not hesitate to take out Harvey York.“Oh?“Dizzy pills, you say?“He’s the one hurting the people?“He even barged into this sacred place!“Trashed the ceremony!“And beat up the crowd!Aryan glared coldly at Harvey.“Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re a capable fighter with a few firearms around you?“Come!“Bring all of the security guards here! Get the protectors of Aenar Temple here as well!“Tell the Island Nations guests not to show up for now!“Wait till I’m done cleaning up!”Aryan played with his string of beads while calmly giving a few orders.Harvey was a talented man…He even managed to ruin Aenar Temple’s plans previously.If the two did not bump into each other, he would not have cared…But since that was the case, then he would not
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
