"If you really want to die, I'll fulfill your wish."Harvey did not want to waste his breath with Hector anymore and stepped forward onto the stage. Then, he started to twist the Royal Flush in his hand…Suddenly, the door into the hall was once again kicked open.George Zabel appeared at the door, and two of his subordinates dragged a middle-aged woman inside. Then, they dumped her right before the stage.When Hector saw it, the expression on his face was full of shock.Then, George bowed at Harvey, saying, "Mr. Harvey, this woman called Number Seven is now willing to confess everything. Not only did she confess where she came from, but she also confessed who the one behind the Royal Flush was and what happened afterward."According to what she said, all the people who started a riot at the Ninth-Branch Company were arranged by Hector. After that had failed, it was also he who ordered her to kill everyone who attended the riot. What happened at Sky Corporation and the Royal Flus
"I did tell you to kill Harvey, but do you think I'm stupid enough to order it in front of you?" Hector subconsciously said, feeling his blood pumping. "Not to mention, I was wearing a mask every time we met. How do you know it's me? I'm telling you, don't you dare—"Hector suddenly stopped talking, silent. He realized he had accidentally exposed the truth.The entire crowd at the expo was silent. What happened at this moment revealed to everyone there that Hector hired an assassin to assassinate Harvey, and Harvey had every right to come after him.Harvey slowly walked up the stage and said, "Since you have already admitted to your crimes, are you going to kill yourself, or should I give you a hand and send you to hell?""Send me to hell?" Hector laughed angrily, then pointed at Harvey. "So what if I hired an assassin? So what if you have the evidence? I'm telling you, the most you'll get is throwing me in jail for maybe a couple of years. Even in prison, I have plenty of ways to
Tyson and the others quickly fell under the watchful eyes of those from Dragon Cell. They couldn't do a lot in a short time.There was a brief moment of chaos, but things calmed down very quickly.Jesse said slowly, "Mr. Harvey, Mr. Hector. All of us are acquaintances, so there's no need to push things this far. I don't care which of you are in the right, but there are laws in this land. Since you're still in Wolsing, then please follow the rules in Wolsing."You should always obey the law. Whoever breaks the law in front of me is forcing my hand."Jesse appeared very dominant and oppressive. His presence immediately kept the entire hall under his control, as if he were the ruler of this place."Looks like you can't touch me after all, Harvey," Hector said with a victorious smile when he saw Jesse making his appearance."It's true paying for an assassination is a severe crime, but someone like me can easily be released after a short while. I don't care how powerful you are, I'll
Hector slowly raised his chin and looked at the ceiling on top of him with his increasingly empty eyes. There was disbelief in his gaze.Someone like him was destined to be able to enjoy all the finest things in life. He was destined to be on high, controlling the destiny of others.Death was something so far away from him. For him, no matter what he did, it wouldn't be enough to kill him.Even if the punishment for his crime was death, there would be plenty who would be willing to die in his place.However, Hector never expected the Grime Reaper to catch up with him either way.He didn't expect Harvey would kill him without a care for this world.Hector could feel regret, resentment, and anger.All those different emotions were amassing within him. However, it wasn't enough to change the fact that he was dying.His head fell lifelessly. In the final moment, all his eyes carried within them were endless resentment.Unfortunately for Hector, Harvey was simply dusting his hand w
No matter how unbelievable things seemed, it was beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hector had already died.Mabon had to accept it. While he didn't have any evidence, he was certain Harvey had a direct link to Hector's death. Harvey wouldn't hesitate to do the deed.When the thought crossed his mind, Mabon began sweating profusely. Luckily, he acknowledged his defeat immediately. Otherwise, he would be the one who died.Should he still pick on Harvey in the future?Mabon closed his eyes. He knew that after today, Harvey would become the biggest psychological obstacle in his mind, haunting him forever.Even Mandy was very confused. She wasn't sure what kind of expressions she should make. In fact, she wasn't sure what she should do.Hector suddenly died.What happened in the dark for that one minute?Jesse took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down while the others were still too surprised to act.Then, he scanned the entire crowd and waved his hand, saying, "Call rein
Jesse and Mabon sat face to face in Geraldton Hotel's presidential suite."You're the organizer and person in charge of the Wolsing Property Expo, Mr. Mabon," Jesse said as he took a sip of coffee. "From our investigation report, you're the one who informed the Thompsons about your event. I believe you can convince the Thompsons to let it go."I believe Mr. Harvey will prepare some form of compensation for the Thompsons. I hope no one will use this chance to kick up a storm when Wolsing is in a very sensitive period," Jesse said calmly, as if he was simply stating a fact.No one can change his attitude, even if the person sitting opposite of him was Mabon of the Wright family."I know you're the next in line to lead the Dragon Cell, Mr. Jesse. You're also the scion of the Xaviers of Wolsing. You're not someone I can offend when you have both identities. Ah, I forgot. You're also the student of the previous leader of the Dragon Guards, and you only went to Dragon Cell because of a
After a long moment of silence, Mabon finally sighed and said, "You're not planning to give me a way out of this, Mr. Jesse. I've already provided a statement according to what I've seen. I believe you'll all be very happy with this statement. "I've done everything I can, but now you're asking me to go to persuade the Thompsons? I don't think I can do that," Mabon said in a way that made him look powerless. "You can't force me to do the impossible."Jesse said, "I know what you're thinking. You think I'm ignoring the law just so I can help my sister. The truth is, you should have a basic understanding of who's right and who's wrong. Using that as a guide, I don't think there's anything wrong with my judgment today."Don't tell me you don't know what the situation is like right now. Wolsing can't fall into further chaos because of what happened recently. Not to mention, if the Thompsons go all out and fight Harvey until the end… I can tell you the ones who will lose won't be Harvey.
It was nine in the evening at the Wolsing International Airport.A luxury business jet bearing the flag of a particular nation quietly stopped in the corner of the airport without attracting any attention.The door opened and a group of men slowly disembarked from the jet.Leading them was a male islander with a slightly pale face.His facial features were all quite comely. He could even be considered quite handsome. He looked similar to a famous celebrity from his country. Other than being handsome, he also carried the same cold aura borne by the nobility from the island nations. One look was enough to make people feel uncomfortable.There were several men and women clad in robes behind him, their expressions cold.The robes they wore were all of different colors, representing the five classical elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.When it came to this, the islanders had mastered a majority of the knowledge they obtained from Country H.However, when the five of
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
