Reign Jackson only smiled and said after seeing everyone had arrived, “We’re running out of time here. Let’s go. I still need to go back and attend a meeting after settling this matter. I have to discuss whether who will be taking over the position of the first and second-in-command of the Buckwood education system!”Although he had not met Tim Zepeda and others face to face, he had already decided to sack them.“Yes, Sir Jackson, please!”Dawson Surrey’s face was full of smiles. Soon, he drove his car out, and the group of people darted toward Buckwood High School.***At the school gate, many people gasped when they saw a line of Audi A6 coming in.What the hell was going on?“I heard that the second-in-command of Buckwood, Reign Jackson, and the chief inspector of Buckwood Police Station are here!”“Sir Surrey is here too!”“Oh my gosh! Indeed, you can provoke anyone at Buckwood High School, but not our princess, Yelena Surrey!”“It’s terrifying! Although these people just
At this moment, Tim Zepeda and Yaron Quick exchanged glances and saw the shock in their eyes.Although they had always known that a first-class family like the Surrey family had tremendous power, they never expected that the Surrey family would invite so many big shots just for a trivial matter.This was really indescribable.Stevie Surrey and Yelena Surrey laughed when they saw the expressions on Tim and others’ faces.The headmaster and the school’s board of directors who had just resigned also laughed.Indeed!Tim and Yaron, whose imposing manner was astonishing just now, were now all gone while facing Reign Jackson and the others at this moment.It was as if a mouse is confronting a cat.This was because Reign was Tim and Yaron’s immediate superior.They were nothing in front of Reign, regardless of how awesome they were in front of other people!However, Harvey looked indifferent when he saw Reign and the others as if they were just some ordinary people from the streets.
At this moment, Reign Jackson stepped forward and said coldly, “Tim Zepeda, Yaron Quick, have you forgotten what I normally taught you?“How many times have I said that you shouldn’t act recklessly outside using your identity?!“Now, I’ll give you a chance. I won’t hold you accountable as long as you admit your mistake and leave here!“Otherwise, what are the consequences? You should know them better than me!”Reign’s voice was indifferent, but it was equivalent to thunder striking on the ground, shaking the entire auditorium.“Old Zepeda, we’re both colleagues. We’re just students in front of Sir Jackson.“You should have known what to choose at this time. I don’t have to teach you, right?”Marvin said with a smile.Apparently, in their opinion, they could surely make Tim and Yaron turn against each other with just one sentence.Everyone was a member of the government. They were certainly aware of everyone’s ability and prowess.In truth, Reign and Marvin felt that today’s m
“Sigh, wronging a person of his goodwill I see.”Tim Zepeda and Yaron Quick both sighed as if Reign Jackson had missed an opportunity.The sight had halted all laughter from Marvin Brown and the others. They were all perplexed.‘Are Tim Zepeda and Yaron Quick brain-dead? Or do they actually have some sort of trump card?’“Prince Jackson, Mr. York’s identity is one that you all have to bow to!” Tim Zepeda said earnestly.But waves of laughter continued soon after.Yelena Surrey immediately exclaimed, “Don’t be fooled, Grandfather Jackson. This man is just a live-in son-in-law!”Everyone was speechless after hearing Yelena Surrey’s claims.‘Since when did anyone have to bow to a live-in son-in-law?’On the other hand, the calm and collected Dawson Surrey was inspecting Harvey York closely.‘This man had been extremely nonchalant. He must’ve met some sort of nobility…‘But so what?‘A mere live-in son-in-law can only have a social circle with the status as high as him. What ki
Harvey York did not bat an eye toward Stevie Surrey. In his eyes, he would just be wasting his time if he spoke with a collateral relative of the Surreys.He then shifted his gaze toward Dawson Surrey and said calmly, “Sir Surrey, everyone keeps saying that you’re the best in the second generation of Surreys and that you might even have a chance to take the throne of Prince Surrey.“But have you even thought of what would happen to your throne if I were to end you right now?”Dawson’s facial expressions slightly changed after hearing his words.The Surreys’ inside information could not be known by any ordinary man.But the live-in son-in-law in front of him talked about it as if it were his family’s secrets.Something was wrong!Terribly wrong!And the man was clearly not foolish if he was speaking about this matter freely at this moment.If so, he should know that the Surreys could not be suppressed with only Tim Zepeda and Yaron Quick’s powers.If that were the case, why wa
Harvey York smiled.“So, do you mean that you have no intention of apologizing whatsoever?”“Of course not! Not in a lifetime! Don’t even think about it!”Harvey then stared calmly at Dawson Surrey and said, “It’s the fault of the father that the child was not taught properly. I guess I can accept the apology if you kneel and apologize.”The once calm and collected Dawson was then boiling with anger after listening to those words.He was titled Sir Surrey; his status in the family was extremely high, outsiders would need to be respectful toward him wherever he went.Even if the live-in son-in-law in front of him had a bit of status, why would he ever kneel in front of him?He then replied with a tone as cold as ice, “What right does a live-in son-in-law like you have to make me kneel?“And apologize to the little bastard over here?!”“Right right right! We’ll never apologize to her!”“The bastard is to blame for everything that happened to her!”“She thinks that she can just
Dawson Surrey was a bit excited after hearing Reign Jackson’s words.The patriarch of the Surreys, James Surrey, has connections far and wide. Maybe he had asked for a more prominent character for such a trivial thing this time?Stevie Surrey and Yelena Surrey were quite exhilarated as well.The bigger the character, the higher their pride.If the person could easily crush Harvey York and Xynthia Zimmer’s dignity, they would be even happier.Soon, a group of people walked inside.The people were all government officials; they were clad in white shirts.A middle-aged man with a square face was leading the group, but his aura did not seem normal. Ordinary people would not even have the courage to look at him.His spirit was through the roof!Buckwood’s first-in-command, Yoel Graham!Reign and the others’ expressions slightly changed soon after they recognized the man’s identity!Yoel Graham was walking with the utmost haste, and his usual calm temper was nowhere in sight.“Pr
Yoel Graham no longer paid attention to Marvin Brown. His gaze shifted toward Reign Jackson with an expression as cold as ice.In general, both of them usually do not see eye to eye because of different political views.And now that Reign had provoked Harvey York, Yoel was filled full with glee.Under the gaze of the shocked crowd, Yoel then walked up toward Reign and gave him a slap across his face as well.“How did the government of Buckwood breed filth like you?! Are you planning to drag the government down with you because of your stupidity?!”Pow pow pow!Yoel immediately started to punch and kick the man, without a hint of decorum left in him.Yoel only stopped pummeling the man after a long while. His expressions were horrifying.Reign’s face was terribly swollen, but he would not dare to say anything at that moment.He had immense experience as a government official, and he understood the situation the moment Yoel took action.This live-in son-in-law was not a man to
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
