Simon Zimmer frowned deeply when he heard the words. “It won’t be that easy. The old man won’t let us leave!”“Especially when we’re bringing along the resources and projects together!”“This thing is too complicated!”Mandy frowned slightly and said, “Leaving the Zimmer family is indeed a good choice but it is not an easy feat to pull!”Mandy knew the Zimmer family all too well.This family did not have much ability in the first place. They were only great at being blood-sucking leeches than anyone else.If she wanted to draw a line with them, unless she left everything behind, otherwise, it would be even more difficult.Harvey suddenly said, “Mandy, just do what you want. Do it boldly, I’ll surely support you!”Mandy smiled at Harvey after listening to his supportive words. This was what she liked about Harvey. No matter what decision she made, Harvey would certainly have her back.However, both Simon and Lilian’s expressions were strange.They were wondering if Harvey was
According to the rumors, Prince York already knew that the Yates family, the Robbins family, the Surrey family, and the Cloude family had all made a move on him back then.Now that Prince York had come back strong, it might give those four first-class families sleepless nights.***At the Moon Lake of Buckwood. This was a five-A-level scenic spot.However, the main area of this scenic spot became a private club many years ago.Now, there were hundreds of security guards scattered around this area.There were also some snipers hidden in the dark, and occasionally scarlet red dots swept across the field.This scenic spot was completely cordoned today. It was declared to the public that the spot was undergoing maintenance, but it was actually chartered.There were many signal jamming setups around the scenic area to ensure that no calls could be made in this place and all electronic gadgets would also cease to function here.At this moment, on a small island in the center of the
At this moment, Stephen York’s bait suddenly moved slightly.As soon as he threw his arms upward, he saw a silver Arowana flung by him and landed onshore.Seeing the silver Arowana jumping around and struggling, the four chiefs looked perplexed.Stephen was watching this scene with great interest. He only dropped his fishing rod after the silver Arowana died. He then clapped his hands, turned around, and smiled. He said, “Chiefs, what’re your thoughts on the huge incident that’s going on in Buckwood recently?”Grandma Yates was slightly puzzled. She was the first to speak. “Speaking of this, I also want to ask Young Master York a question. Why are there rumors outside stating that the York was no longer in power and that all the assets of the Yorks were taken over by Sky Corporation?”Stephen put on a meaningful smile and said, “It’s just that we’ve lost a game and returned some things to my elder brother. However, losing a few assets to get to know some true news is not bad.”Gr
Looking at the four chiefs, their expressions were extremely tense.Stephen York suddenly smiled and said, “It’s a bit interesting. This is the first time you have shown such serious expressions in so many years.”“It seems that this time, that person has brought you enormous pressure!”Eric laughed after listening to Stephen’s words. “Young Master Stephen, we do feel pressured. We’re afraid that we won’t be able to solve this person within the limited time.”James Surrey smiled. “Young Master Stephen, don’t worry, we’ve been in South Light for so many years.”“Even the emperor couldn’t shake me even a bit, let alone a bragging brat!”“Moreover, we aren’t worried since we have Young Master Stephen strategizing behind all this!”Callum Robbins cracked a smile and said, “That’s right. If that person simply makes a move on any of us, we might be brought down even without any of us noticing.”“However, now we already know that he wanted to bring us down altogether. How is that even
Callum Robbins and the others just pretended that they did not hear Grandma Yates’ words.Meanwhile, Eric Cloude changed the subject, and said solemnly, “I heard a few days ago that the chief instructor of the Sword Camp appeared at the assessment ceremony at the Sword Camp.”“How come we didn’t go there to visit him that day? I deeply regret it!”Callum nodded and said, “Yes! Now that Melissa has left South Light, I don’t know what will happen in the future. The four families should indeed think of other plans.”“If we could get the chief instructor to be our new benefactor, then why should we even fear Prince York?”James Surrey lamented, “Yes, no matter how strong Prince York is, he’s nothing more than a capable man in the business world. However, the chief instructor is a living legend!“I heard that this man will have the opportunity to become the big boss of Country H military. He will be the second most powerful in Country H. His future is immeasurable!”They lamented eve
The chiefs quarreled for a while, but all of them smiled, putting up an expression that they were all joking.As for how they were going to execute their plans after going back, no one knew about it.After all, those people were all as cunning as a fox. They would never let outsiders see through their plans easily.After speaking, Callum Robbins waved his hand, signaling a subordinate to send a pile of documents over. He then handed it to others respectively.This was a copy of the contract. It was clearly written inside that all the assets and projects of the Yorks would belong to Sky Corporation after three days.There must be a grand ceremony on that day.“Everyone, let’s get down to business. Sky Corporation’s annexation of the Yorks’ assets is already a certainty. What should we do?” Callum laughed.Eric Cloude said indifferently, “What else could we do? Since our Prince York was very high profile, let’s go and meet him.“If his prowess is still the same as three years ago
“Really? Is the dignified Prince York so innocent that he only has one woman?”Mandy looked curious.Harvey said thoughtfully, “This is because his woman is very important to him.”“You sounded like you know Prince York.” Mandy curled her lips.“By the way, don’t talk nonsense again. Don’t say that you’re Prince York and I’m that woman. I won’t believe in big talk like that.“However, since you’re so interested in Prince York. Go and participate in the ceremony organized by Sky Corporation three days later.”Mandy took out an invitation card and handed it to Harvey.This invitation card was from Sky Corporation to their subsidiaries, inviting them to participate in Sky Corporation’s joint venture ceremony.Mandy initially wanted to go, but she had been busy planning how to draw a line with the Zimmer family recently. She was too busy, so she did not have the time.However, she had to attend this ceremony. Hence, she wanted Harvey to go and see on her behalf.“Okay, I’ll go an
At Royal View Garden, Harvey York dialed a number and spoke calmly, “I’ll be taking a trip to Half Moon Bay tomorrow.”“It is my honor, Chief Instructor. Would you like me to fetch you?” The excitement was seething from the other side of the phone.Harvey gave a thought about it.“No need, I’ll call you soon.”“I’ll prepare immediately!”The person on the other side of the phone was named Ray Hart, one of Harvey York’s personal guards in the Sword Camp back then but he had retired for about a year or so.Ray Hart’s family would be considered a ruler around the Half Moon Bay. He had immense authority, it would be best to contact him if Harvey York wanted to take someone there for leisure.The next day, Harvey did not ask Yvonne Xavier to send a car over early in the morning. Instead, he drove Mandy Zimmer’s car and swiftly made his way to Half Moon Bay.Half Moon Bay was one of Buckwood’s bay areas. The place was quite developed for tourism. It would be expected of Lilian Yates’
"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
"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."
