“If that works, the Hunt family would’ve just looked for a masseuse. What are you even doing here for?”The monk’s face darkened instantly. He had no way to refute Harvey’s words. He desperately wanted to speak up but simply could not get himself to do so.Then, Harvey pointed at an elderly man wearing a goatee with a sage-like aura.“Don’t think I can’t tell you’re from the School of Humanitas just because you’re not wearing a robe.“You must have the Talisman of Tranquil up your sleeve.“It’s pretty effective against nightmares and people affected with aphasia.“But I guarantee you that it won’t be helpful this time.“Not only are your teachings completely useless, but the cinnabar you used to draw the talisman was also bought online.“You’re hoping it will work when you’re using fake ingredients? What a joke.The man pointed at Harvey when he constantly stuttered, unable to string proper words.“And you…”Harvey pointed at a man who seemed like he was from Seed Frontier.
The simple words were enough to freeze Veer Hunt and the others before showing anger in their eyes.‘You’re just tricking us all at this point!’‘Who doesn’t know that the Honey Pill can save the old lady?!’‘What’s the point of reiterating what we already know?!’Paislee Foster’s eyes lit up. Nobody knew what she was thinking then.“Then again…Harvey continued before anyone else could voice their doubts.“I’m pretty confident that I can save the old lady.“Though, I need time to prepare.”Paislee could no longer hold back her feelings. She naturally needed to reclaim her dignity after being constantly disrespected.“Just say that you can’t do anything already!“What do you mean you need to prepare?!“Do you think the old lady’s life is a joke?!”Paislee glared coldly.“Since you’re acting like you actually know what you’re doing, then you should tell us what you’re planning!”Harvey glared at Paislee before writing a formula on a piece of paper.Then, he glanced at Ve
The butler quickly wrote a few numbers on the check before disdainfully setting it in front of Harvey York.Harvey had no intention of taking it.Paislee Foster’s impression of Harvey worsened.“It’s already a lot of money after you failed to fool anyone here!“If it weren’t for the Hunt family’s successful business, you wouldn’t even get the money in the first place!“Now leave!“Do you want to get thrown out after they break your legs?!”Harvey glanced at Veer, whose expression remained unchanged.“Since you’re still being courteous with me, and the fact that Ethan and I are brothers…“I’ll tell you one more thing.“The old lady’s infected with Corpse Poison!“The Honey Pill would deal with the old lady’s problem in its entirety….“But the Lycan Pill is used to invigorate life.“She might come back, but her condition would worsen under three days.“If you’re not careful, she might just die because of this too.”Harvey shook his head before turning around, prepared to l
“You’re being rude, Sir York.”Veer Hunt’s face slightly darkened despite his good temper.He angrily squinted at Harvey York when he heard someone cursing his mother.‘The priests finally decided to give their pill, and yet he’s still running his mouth here?‘If it weren’t for the fact that Ethan’s a subordinate to the Head Coach…‘I would’ve gotten people to break every single one of his limbs by now.”Harvey shook his head.“I’m telling the truth. If you do let the old lady have the Lycan Pill, she will be awake soon after.“She’d be able to eat and drink like the average person.“But seventy-two hours later, she’d be unconscious again.“When that happens, she might be able to survive as long as you release the blood in her heart.“But if you miss that timing, even God won’t be able to save her after that.”Harvey calmly shook his head.He wanted to save the old lady, but what was the point if nobody believed that?At this point, only Ethan Hunt could make this happen.
Harvey York heaved a sigh after hearing the news. It seemed like his efforts were futile after all. He was only being painted as the villain, as usual.“She won’t die immediately.Harvey briefly thought about the situation.“I know you have people in the family.“Tell them to draw some blood when the old lady falls unconscious within half an hour. She might survive for the next twenty-four hours after that.“I’ll have time to save her after that.“That said, she’d be wheelchair-bound the rest of her life.”“And what if her blood isn’t released in half an hour?” asked Ethan Hunt tremblingly.Harvey sighed.“Then, that’ll be it for her.”Ethan went dead silent.Harvey knew what he wanted to say.“I know that you have a different identity now. Then again, you have an awkward position in your family since you’re still just a bastard to them.“I understand your concerns, but it’d be better to teach them a lesson, if anything.“I’m confident your old lady will return to normal,
That said, Harvey York did not pay much attention to the Hunt family’s affairs.Ethan Hunt had not made his comeback, not because he was afraid of the Hunt family. He already had an immense identity and status at this point.Of course, if the family were to cause Harvey trouble…He would not mind teaching them a lesson either.-After a long road of silence, the car reached a private nursing home.Harvey frowned. He did not understand why Mandy Zimmer was here in the first place.After pondering the situation momentarily, he decided to make the call.Mandy rejected the call, but she quickly sent a room number.Harvey asked the front desk for the number before reaching the front of the villa.Lights were brimming throughout the place. Some guards were also posted at the entrance.Mandy’s secretary, Maya Lee, had been waiting for a while. She made a welcoming gesture to invite Harvey inside after his arrival.Harvey saw that the elegantly renovated hall had signs of destructi
Mandy Zimmer and Lilian Yates looked over simultaneously.Mandy lightly nodded. She knew Harvey York was coming.Lilian felt instantly sluggish before she screamed at Harvey.“You little bastard! How dare you come back here?! You…”“Don’t you want the Honey Pill?” replied Harvey calmly.Lilian was instantly stunned after hearing Harvey’s words.“Stop pretending, Harvey!“Mandy told me the Hunt family saved the old lady!“What’s the point of the Honey Pill now?!“It can’t even give me the money and the villa anymore!”“The money’s just a tiny problem. The villa can also be bought with money!“Let me tell you something! The old lady’s awake right now…“But she’ll fall unconscious after three days!“When that happens, the Honey Pill’s value would skyrocket!“Maybe then, it’d be 1.5 billion with ten whole villas for you to have.”Lilian showed an odd gaze after hearing Harvey’s words. She wanted to lash out but had no choice but to force a smile.“Harvey—no! My dear son-in-
“Huh?”Lilian Yates froze.“You’re joking, right? Are you angry?“I can’t take jokes like this, you know? I’m an old lady!”Harvey York chuckled in secret after seeing Lilian forcing her feelings back.“The old lady might not need the Honey Pill either.“It doesn’t matter to me either way.“That said…”Before Harvey was done speaking, Mandy Zimmer’s phone suddenly vibrated while she was having her coffee.She handed Harvey a cup of coffee while she was getting the call.“What?” she said with a horrible expression.“My pre-sale license got rejected again?“Didn’t we hand over all the documents according to procedure?“What? We don’t have enough money in the account?“Right, I’ll head there immediately.”“I need to go back to the office, Harvey,” she said while completely ignoring Lilian.Harvey glanced at Lilian, who seemed a little sluggish.“I’ll come with; maybe I can help with something.”Mandy glared fiercely at Lilian before dragging Harvey to the company car wit
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
