“Sir, with your connections, how could a few foot soldiers take away someone from you?”Quinton York could not believe what he had heard.Yonathan York frowned. “That’s right. Normally speaking, no military force in South Light would dare to even offend me, but somebody actually made their move on us this time…”“Since he’s using new recruits, obviously he didn’t want to expose his identity.”Quinton York began to speculate.“Perhaps the military started having some qualms about us since Ethan Hunt is on our side now?”“Is some major family trying to oppose us?”“Or maybe, it’s that man…”Yonathan York frowned again. “There’s no evidence of anything right now. The thing is, their dignified excuse was that there were wounded soldiers who just came back to South Light from war, and that they needed to be operated…”“I’ve gotten news of what happened. There was indeed a conflict on a smaller scale. A couple dozen people from the neighbouring country died, and there were only a fe
The time until Grandma York’s birthday banquet was inching closer and closer. All of Buckwood was bathed in a joyous mood, as if the day was a public holiday.Almost all of Buckwood knew.The Yorks’ had incredibly high status in Buckwood, and were truly Buckwood’s top family.All the first-rated families in Buckwood agreed that an invitation to the Yorks’ birthday banquet was a big honor.Many people took pictures of their invitations immediately after they had gotten theirs, to show off their status and ranking.This showed the value and importance of Grandma York’s birthday banquet that the Yorks held up to. The publicity even did their part to prove that.Right before the day of the banquet, Xynthia Zimmer reluctantly brought home the invitations to the banquet.She had to spend a long time begging her godparents for them.Mandy Zimmer, on the other hand, was worried sick because of what had happened with Wayne York.She dared not attend Grandma York’s birthday, no matter w
Everyone was waiting in the living room while the celebration was still being prepared.There were champagne towers and western buffets free for them to enjoy.Harvey York and Xynthia Zimmer soon found some seats and sat down. “Harvey… Harvey York, is that you?”A voice called behind him.Harvey York turned around and saw a cold beauty approaching him.A few months had passed, but the aura between her eyes hadn’t changed one bit.Her teary eyes stared right at Harvey York. She was quite excited, and was barely holding back her emotions.The woman was from one of Buckwood’s top-rated families, Rosalie Naiswell of the Naiswell family.The two had interacted quite a bit during their time in Niumhi. Harvey York even gave her a ride before her departure from Niumhi.But after leaving Niumhi, the two hadn’t met for nearly three whole months.Even after arriving at Buckwood, Harvey York had been extremely busy. He did not have any intention of seeing her at the moment.“How could
Harvey York didn’t even flinch when facing the man’s ridicule.In his eyes, this clown had no meaning. Naturally, he wouldn’t care.Compared to the Yorks, this man was less than a speck of dust.After seeing Harvey York’s attitude, Rosalie had a slight change of mind.Three months ago, he seemed so full of spirit to her; a man who could reject her own invitation.How could he have possibly turned into someone who would simply swallow humiliation? Could a three month period change a man so easily?After taking a deep breath, Rosalie Naiswell reverted back to her icy demeanor.She glared at the man and snapped coldly, “Bruce Cloude. Whoever I date and befriend does not concern you now, does it?”“If you’re willfully insulting my friend again, don’t blame me for being hard on you!”Rosalie Naiswell spoke with the full aura and manner of a cold beauty.Bruce Cloude was her pursuer, after all. After her chiding, he did not speak another word. However, he grew to despise Harvey
Seeing Harvey York humiliated by two people who came out of nowhere, Xynthia Zimmer grew somewhat angry.She pulled on Harvey’s arm and snarled coldly, “The two of you who came out of nowhere!”“You’re just a bunch of shortsighted people!”“My brother-in-law is awesome! Especially compared to a wretched man like you!”“You think he’s scared of you?! He just doesn’t care about you!”“Because you’re just an ant to him!”In truth, Xynthia Zimmer had no clue of Harvey’s real identity.But a man who could buy her a property that cost a few hundred million dollars without batting an eye, a man who could purchase the Spinning Restaurant in Buckwood Tower, was not someone who could be provoked so easily by a clown like Bruce Cloude.“Oh, Harvey! What a cute sister-in-law you have!”Bruce Cloude wasn’t even perturbed. Instead, he gave them a scornful grin.“I’m an ant? Alright, I’ll admit it. In front of a man like Prince York, I am just an ant.”“But I, Bruce Cloude, am from the Clo
Rosalie Naiswell was a bit disappointed in Harvey York, but she did not immediately expose him. Instead, she exclaimed icily, “Harvey York. I did not believe in you before, but you had proved with your own strength that you were capable.”“Now, I want to see if you can do the same. Prove that you are right, and that you are actually capable!”Bruce Cloude chuckled coldly.“Since Rosalie wants this, I’ll be counting on it as well.”“Once you’ve taken over the Yorks, I’ll make sure to be your security team leader. Please give me a chance to do so when that happens, CEO York!”Harvey York actually treated that as an actual promise.He sized up Bruce Cloude for a while. “Right, a scrawny body like yours doesn’t look like you’ll be fit as the security team leader. But since I’ve already promised you, I’ll make sure you get the position.”“Make sure to get to the office on time.”At that, Bruce Cloude could not hold himself back anymore.He no longer had the intention to make fun of
Everyone looked at Joel Flynn weirdly after hearing his words.While he had proven the worth of the antique watch, it was still a dead man’s treasure.Not far behind, Harvey York’s expressions turned as cold as a raging blizzard.Xynthia Zimmer and Rosalie Naiswell subconsciously glanced at Harvey York.They both felt an undisguised aura of murderous intent in his gaze.Joel Flynn and Bruce Cloude, on the other hand, did not even put Harvey York in their eyes. None of them took notice of it.Right then, Harvey York’s heart was filled with the intent to kill.Not only did his good friend’s belongings get split between people, someone even prepared one as a gift to another person!Joel Flynn waved a hand, and his underlings carefully carried a safe box over.Rosalie Naiswell went over and gave a few glances at what was inside. She then quietly said, “That’s right, this is indeed the antique Patek Philippe watch.”Joel Flynn smiled after receiving her approval.“Right. If so, I
Right now, Yonathan York, Quinton York, and the higher ups within the Yorks grew slightly anxious.Naturally, they realized that this man was none other than Harvey York.They could only helplessly watch as the man that they had forced away out of Buckwood three years ago stood right in front of them, fully intact.Even to the point of saying something so provocative…Was this his way of provoking the prestige of the York family?If it weren’t for the fact that today was the birthday banquet, and if this was a different occasion, there would already be people ready to take Harvey York down.After all, there were too little opportunities of Harvey York being alone.Maybe there would be no other chances to take him down if they missed this one.Just then, Harvey York let out a small chuckle.“It’d be best if nobody was actually crippled.”“After all, I heard that a famous doctor, Tobias Baker was taken to the border to operate on wounded soldiers. I don’t think he’ll be back so
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
