“Even your consul kneeled before me without hesitation,” said Harvey York, wiping his hand.“Do you think I’d even bother about you?“You assume that I’d respect you?“Or are you saying I wouldn’t dare lay a finger on filth like you even after dealing with your consul?”Harvey’s casual reply was enough to shock the crowd.‘What did he say?’‘Even Stefan kneeled in front of him?’‘How…’‘How is that even possible?!’‘This is unbelievable!’Many people instinctively looked at Miley Surrey. Since she was one of Stefan’s women, she would naturally have known about the situation.Miley gritted her teeth in silence.The crowd felt completely sluggish. Was everything that Harvey just mentioned true?Aryan Augustus took a deep breath before sizing up Harvey. Since he was confident in his consul, he naturally did not believe Harvey’s words. He did not even want to think about the possibility.“Impressive! Truly impressive!Aryan chuckled out of rage.“I’ve seen many ignorant peo
Harvey York glanced at the Brazen without changing his expression much.He curiously looked at the statue in front of him before he was in deep thought.Romina Klein seemed horrible. She had no choice but to step up at this very moment.“Even if all Eighteen Brazen are here, you have no right to make Sir York kneel!“You’re…”The Brazen frowned.“Move!”Romina’s body trembled before she was instantly sent flying. She felt as if an invincible fist hit her before crashing into some sacrificial soldiers behind her.“Guh!”Blood spurted out of her mouth when she showed utter disbelief.She was immediately taken down without even getting close to the Brazen.She also lost that easily.Based on this, she could tell just how impressive the Eighteen Brazen were.“It’s the Lion’s Roar!“It’s the legendary move!”Mr. Kennedy and the others were exhilarated.This was one of Aenar Temple’s forbidden moves!They did not expect they would get to see it in real-time!Miley Surrey sh
That said, despite not being afraid of Harvey York’s slap, the Brazen would feel embarrassed if he were to be hit.He wanted to grab Harvey’s wrist and twist it before anything else.Then again, despite being terrifyingly strong, his body instantly shuddered when he touched Harvey’s palm.“What?!”An unfathomable surge of aura flowed inside him, collapsing him instantly.He immediately froze. He had no choice but to watch as Harvey casually slapped him.Slap!A loud sound was heard before he was sent flying straight into a stone pillar.“Guh!”The Brazen’s glow was instantly gone when he started coughing out blood.He lost by a single move!What a shocking sight!“What?!”Miley Surrey and the others were flabbergasted.The so-called one of the Eighteen Brazen was naturally strong enough to become Mandrake Residence’s protector.He had gone against a huge group of bandits causing trouble here alone, shielding himself from all fronts before promptly dealing with them.And
“I don’t care who you are,” said Harvey York with his arms crossed.“It doesn’t matter if you belong to a sect.“It doesn’t matter if you’re the protector here either.“I’ll slap whoever comes my way.“I know that you’re probably Great Wall’s disciple.“But many have been using that name just to scare me.“I don’t feel any different at this point.“Tell him something for me. He should just stay away from most things since he’s a monk.“Things in the mortal world don’t concern him.“It’d be embarrassing if he also gets slapped in the face! He wouldn’t be able to remain in his position after that!“I deal with people like him all the time.“It doesn’t matter if I get another one to deal with anyway.”The Brazen chuckled angrily after hearing those words.“I don’t know where you got all that courage from, you bastard!“But, you dare insult my master like that?!“You’re dead!“When he comes out, he’ll deal with you first!”The crowd’s expression changed. They knew just how
“Do you know what you’ve done?!“Do you know the consequences of doing something like this?!”Whitley Cobb stepped forward. She still believed she was standing on the right side.“How dare you cripple someone from Aenar Temple?!“Let me tell you something!“You won’t be able to come back from this!”Naturally, she could not accept a mere kept man being this impressive.No matter how dominant and powerful Harvey York was…In Whitley’s eyes, Harvey was just useless filth since he wasn’t from the legendary York family.“We’re leaving.”Harvey turned around when he was about to leave. He could not be bothered to deal with Whitley any longer.Romina Klein looked at Harvey with admiration when she was about to get her men to take Asher.Aryan Augustus looked extremely horrible when he fiercely glared at Harvey. He was about to make his men fight Harvey to the bitter end.“Bastard!“Are people nowadays this fearless?!“How dare you try to take away the Kawashima family’s son-in
Everyone froze after hearing Harvey’s words.Because of their countless failures in Country H, the Islanders had put in a lot of hard work into the outskirts. For them, the outskirts was an important bridgehead.The Kawashima used all of its forces for that very goal. That was why they were considered a force to be reckoned with in the outskirts.Together with the existence of international disputes, nobody would dare go against the Islanders in the first place.Even the four great tribes and the Wolven Tribe would have to show respect.Yet, Harvey was acting in such an arrogant manner. Not only did he completely disrespect the Aenar Temple… He talked down the Islanders as well!‘He doesn’t even care about them being Islanders? Is he just confident? Or does he lack self-awareness?’“Perfect timing, Ms. Nanako!” Mr. Kennedy exclaimed, looking pale. “This bastard’s being extremely arrogant! Not only did he beat up your boyfriend, but he also crippled the protector who tried to
Harvey smiled at Nanako.“So you’re not going to ask what this live-in son-in-law of yours did? You don’t want to know why I’m taking him away?”“No! There’s simply no need for that!”Nanako shot him a cold and prideful look.“The moment he became the family’s live-in son-in-law, no laws of this country can do anything to him—no matter what he did wrong!“If you’re unhappy about it, then report this to the Island Nations!“Do you have any contact information for the country? If not, I can give you one here.”Harvey showed her a profound smile.“What? You don’t dare?”Nanako scoffed; she thought that Harvey was just afraid.“If that’s the case, then stop yapping already!“You insult and beat up the Kawashima family’s live-in son-in-law in front of everyone!“As the current person in charge of the family in the outskirts, I have the right to take you down, for the sake of our interests!”Harvey chuckled.“I have no right to take your live-in son-in-law away in my own countr
Harvey didn’t seem fazed at all when he saw the swordsmen surrounding him completely.“Do you have Stefan’s number?” he asked, looking at Romina. “Call him.”Romina froze before pulling out her phone.“Of course.”She started dialing a number.Nanako scoffed after seeing that.“What’s this? Are you begging Stefan for forgiveness? Let me tell you something! No favor is bigger than the Kawashima family! Stefan would never help you!”Harvey glared at Nanako.“What makes you think I’m going to beg for his mercy? I just want to see if he’s really planning to go against me for some woman of the Island Nations.”Nanako froze before scoffing again.“You’re questioning Stefan? Do you know just how powerful the consuls are in the outskirts? You’d have to kneel when you run into him! He might not bat you an eye after that!”“Maybe it’s the other way around.”“Oh? The other way around?” Nanako chuckled coldly. “Are you saying that Stefan will kneel to you?”“That’s right.”“Keep pret
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
