“Welt York?”Harvey frowned. “Is he a direct descendant? Or just a relative?”“He’s a direct descendant, but he’s only the second son.“Even so, because of his immense reputation and his status in the Adenar Temple… He has a lot of authority in the outskirts.“More importantly, I heard Welt doesn’t care about the rules when he does things. He isn’t scared of the law or martial arts, either!“He’s the kind of person who’d do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.“If you go against this man, Sir York, you should be careful, even with your impressive martial arts. After all, combat strength isn’t the only thing in this world.”Harvey nodded before looking through the pages in detail.Judging from the information, both Roue and the well-known disciple of the Adenar Temple—the direct descendant of the outskirts’ York family, Welt…were quite extraordinary people.After Harvey had completely integrated many of the outskirts’ forces, the Adenar Temple and Evermore appeared at the
The elevator door opened the moment Harvey reached the deluxe room. Dutch came out of the elevator, dressed casually. After seeing Harvey’s expression, Dutch quickly followed Harvey. From his vast experience, he could tell that Harvey was in trouble with just a single glance.At the same time, inside the deluxe box.A sickly figure in a robe could be seen inside; it was none other than the Adenar Temple’s top disciple and the direct descendant of the outskirts’ York family, Welt.He held a glass of red wine, slowly sipping it while sizing up Aria beside him with a cold expression.He had been playing with women who’d pounce right into his arms; he was more interested in the ones who completely disdained him. Conquering women like that would be a fun game for him.Besides, as the fifth lady of the Luster Tribe’s Surrey family, Aria had a high status. Welt would enjoy a good few days’ worth of fun if he could have his hands on a woman like her.“What are you trying to do, Miley?”
“Impossible!”Aria gritted her teeth after hearing Welt’s words.“Sir York is in the room on the other side of the corridor! He won’t let you go for this!”“Oh? Is that so?”Welt chuckled wretchedly.“Someone else dares to call himself that in front of the outskirts’ York family? Does he want to die or something?“My little darling, there’s only one man that you serve. And that man is me!”Welt took a step forward before raising Aria’s chin.“You’re shameless!” Aria screamed.She swung her palm across Welt’s face before stumbling backward. She trained in martial arts as well; she wasn’t as impressive, but she was still quite nimble.“How dare you, Aria?!” Miley exclaimed.Welt wasn’t angry at all; he licked the blood on the side of his mouth, then flashed a determined gaze at Aria.“You’re pretty spicy, huh?! Bitch!“The harder you hit me, the harder I’ll screw you later!“Come on! Hit me! Make me feel good! I’ll make sure to return the favor!”Aria glared coldly at Welt
The two men were wearing suits, but the suits didn’t seem to fit them at all. Their heads were raised up high, and their glares were blinding. No matter how anyone looked, they were clearly experts.Despite that, Harvey’s glare was enough to send a cold shiver down their spine, as if they had taken a cold shower during winter.They instinctively stepped back, but Harvey moved a lot faster. The moment they were about to do something, Harvey instantly appeared in front of them.Harvey didn’t hold back, since they were planning to take advantage of Aria; he instantly grabbed their heads before smashing them onto the marble table. The two experts lay paralyzed on the ground, with no strength left to struggle.It was a shocking sight; the other men in suits stopped in their tracks, looking cautiously at Harvey.Slap!Welt proudly slapped Aria on the butt before turning around to size up Harvey with a smile.“You took out my subordinates just like that… Impressive. Truly impressive.
Welt laughed coldly; he stomped on the ground, then charged at Harvey, a golden glow surrounding him.The faint figure of a golden bell flew over at the same time. It was clear that any ordinary expert would at least be heavily injured if they didn’t die from the attack.“He’s completely mastered the Golden Shield!”Miley was shocked.“No wonder Mr. Stefan said that out of the three great temples, the Adenar Temple would always have the strongest background and combat strength!“This is just incredible!“Harvey’s strong, but…”Bam!Before Miley could finish her sentence, Harvey kicked Welt in the head.“Guh!”Welt was instantly sent flying, slamming into the massive table behind him. Pieces of food and rubble covered his entire body; it was a complete mess. He struggled on the ground, desperately trying to get back up, but to no avail.“This…”Everyone instantly went weak in the knees after seeing it.‘How did he do it? How did this happen?‘That’s the Golden Shield of
Welt York finally understood something.If he did not yield then, Harvey York would actually kill him.He took a few steps forward, gritting his teeth before lowering his head.“I’m sorry, Ms. Aria!“I was being ignorant!“Please! Be the bigger person and forgive me!”He apologized in a respectful tone while gazing vengefully.He had to cut his losses!He would have many more chances to take revenge if he survived!“Do my words mean nothing to you?Harvey smiled faintly.“You need to show your sincerity. Kneel and then break your damn arm.“I’ll only let you off the hook if you do.”Harvey had no intention of letting Welt go. Harvey planned to teach him an unforgettable lesson.That was why he clearly brought up his conditions.After all, someone like Welt would probably do the same thing to other people if they were not taught properly.“You want me to kneel and break my arm as an apology?Welt glared coldly.He was a young master. He could admit defeat but would nev
On the next day, early in the morning.Many guests turned up outside of Harvey York’s No. 1 villa.Three Rolls Royce Phantoms without license plates were parked in front of the entrance.An elderly man stepped out of the car in a reserved manner. Judging from his face, it was clear he was no ordinary man.The door of another car opened before Welt York was kicked out. His whole body was seen completely drenched in water.The arrogant young master crawled to the front door before sitting on his knees.Harvey showed a weird stare while looking at the surveillance footage in the living room.Romina Klein also looked at the screen before looking confused.“Ledger York?”Harvey smiled.“Do you know him?”“That’s the master of the outskirts’ York family.“The York family isn’t as high profile in the outskirts, nor are they that well-known compared to the four great tribes.“But because of the support from the Yorks of Hong Kong, the York family has become the most mysterious aro
Three hours later, the bell was finally pressed.Romina Klein casually opened the front door.She pretended she did not see Welt York, on the verge of passing out after kneeling outside for so long.“Hello. May I ask who you are?” asked Ledger York while showing a slightly horrible expression.“This is private property. The owner doesn’t welcome strangers here, either.“If there’s no important business, I must ask you to leave.”“How dare you?!A person who seemed like the butler could not help but speak after hearing Romina’s words.‘My master’s the Underground Monarch of the outskirts!‘How dare a mere woman from the villa act this arrogantly?!‘Don’t these people know the master’s been standing outside for three hours?!’Ledger quickly waved his hand.“Enough!“Watch your attitude!“We’re here to meet Sir York, not to cause trouble.”Then, Ledger smiled at Romina.“Good afternoon, Ms. Romina.“Maybe you don’t know me, or you’re just pretending you don’t.“It doesn’
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
