Thud!Stevie Surrey could not bear the shock. His legs had already given up on him.Thud!Thud!Thud!The principal, along with the board of directors, followed suit, their faces showing full of despair.Because of their names being blacklisted in the education sector of Buckwood, this meant that their careers in academia were completely finished for their whole lives.They had never thought that they would end up like this.“As for you, you, you! And you!“Not only did you not study well as students, you even spread rumors around the school and humiliated a fellow student!“I have to record this terrible demerit. You are all suspended for a whole month!”After hearing Tim Zepeda’s words, Yelena Surrey and her followers all fell down, sitting on the ground. Their faces devoid of color at that moment.Even though they weren’t expelled, they had a terrible demerit recorded along with a month of suspension. How could they possibly break the news to their families when they go
“No!”Harvey York chuckled coldly.“You people had always been arrogant and bossy, thinking that the world only revolves around you!“In your eyes, the others are but your humble servants. If they were to disobey you, they should just die!“You people cannot be forgiven!“Dawson Surrey, you should head back to the Surreys and tell them. If you can’t give me a statement, I’ll finish off the Surreys myself in ten days!“Now, get out!”Soon after, Dawson and Yelena Surrey both ran away with their tails between their legs.They never would’ve thought that this trivial thing would make the Surreys bear such responsibility.They had to hurry back home to report the situation. If not, the Surreys would be finished!***On the podium.Tim Zepeda was utterly shocked while watching the scene unfold. Harvey York was indeed a man not to be trifled with.Thankfully, he had stood on the right side. If not, his position would not be his for long.Tim Zepeda walked up to Harvey and bowed
“Of course! Mr. Harvey York, rest assured. I will not let you down!”Tim Zepeda was exhilarated at that moment.He never would’ve thought that the second peak of his life would transpire this way.***When things were settled, Xynthia Zimmer also went back to class at ease. With a splendid teacher like Ms. Yuna around, Harvey too was at ease.When Harvey was about to get in his car, getting ready to leave, hasty high heeled footsteps started echoing toward him.When he tilted his head up to see who it was, Ms. Yuna’s peach-eyes were already focusing on him; even though it was just a normal gaze, there was still a hint of exoticism.“Something up?” Harvey asked.Ms. Yuna walked forward and quietly replied, “Ms. York, I can’t thank you enough for what happened today. If it weren’t for you, Xynthia would’ve taken the blame for something she never did.”Harvey smiled.“Xynthia is a part of my family, and I should be the one thanking you.“I’m only here today by chance. It was ju
Luke Surrey!The young man that owned the Mercedes Benz G Class was the prince of the Surreys, one of the first-rated families in Buckwood.It was normal for him to meet with Ms. Yuna. Yelena Surrey was a student in her class, after all.Luke was not mad being rejected by Ms. Yuna at all. He then curiously shifted his gaze toward Harvey York standing on the side without uttering a single word.“Is it because of this man that you rejected me?“Driving a Porsche 718, a ninety thousand dollar trash of a car. You wouldn’t possibly think that this man’s car is better than my Benz G Class, right?”Ms. Yuna frowned.“Luke, this has nothing to do with cars. I just don’t want to eat with you, is all.“Even if he drove a fifteen thousand dollar car here, I’m still going to eat with him!”Luke smiled.“Ms. Yuna, you’re just picking on me at this point!“But I did tell you before: without my permission, no man can get close to you.“Because you’re mine after all!”Luke was showing utm
Luke Surrey froze after hearing those words, then he smiled and realized what Harvey York meant.“You’re right, kid. True love does need more money. How much more are you proposing?”Ms. Yuna’s face turned as dark as night at that moment after hearing those words.She did not think that Harvey would sell her out for a bit of spare change.In the next moment, Harvey then lifted a finger and smiled.Luke froze for a short while, then chuckled.“You’re a feisty one, aren’t you?! You’re asking for one hundred thousand dollars?!”Harvey smirked.“You mistake me, Prince Surrey. That’s not what I meant.”“A million dollars?”Luke frowned. He was boiling with anger.This man that came out of nowhere wanted to use this opportunity to instantly climb the ranks!Luke’s gaze toward Ms. Yuna was filled with disdain.‘This is the man that you chose?‘This man only sees money!’Harvey chuckled and again shook his head.Luke took a deep breath and replied, “Don’t tell me that you want
At the rooftop level of the mall, in a music bar.This was a place frequented by young people. They loved to visit the place for food and drinks.After ordering a few dishes, Harvey York started to feast without a care in the world.And Ms. Yuna that sat in front of him didn't even move her utensils. She was still worried sick.“You should eat. The food will get cold if you don’t. You might not have the time to eat if you wait any longer,” Harvey urged while serving some food for her.Ms. Yuna could only have a bite out of fear of hurting Harvey’s feelings, but her worries could not be hidden from her face. She wanted to say something, but she ultimately held it back in the end.“What’s wrong? Is the food not good?”Harvey was curious.Ms. Yuna was hesitant to answer him before, then replied quietly, “Harvey, the place seems to be one of the businesses owned by Luke Surrey.”Harvey was shocked.‘What a coincidence!’After seeing Harvey froze over, thinking that he was scared
After a moment, a man wearing a suit walked swiftly toward Luke Surrey.“Prince, I’ve thoroughly checked the man.“This man’s car is under the name of a big company. The registrant is a woman, so I’m assuming that the car was borrowed.“And according to his name, he should be a live-in son-in-law.“As for more of his details, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.”Luke chuckled after hearing about this.“A live-in son-in-law that rented a car would dare to steal the prince’s woman?“No need to keep checking. We don’t need to waste time on these people.”In the middle of his speech, Luke pushed open the box room door and immediately walked toward the place where Harvey York and Ms. Yuna were eating.Slap!A stack of green bills was suddenly slammed onto Harvey’s dining table; the soup splattered all over the place, dirtying his clothes.Harvey subconsciously tilted his head up and saw Luke.“Harvey York, I’ve thoroughly checked your identity. You know your status bett
Without a second thought, Ms. Yuna was naturally a bit disappointed.Because this meant that his carefree attitude back at Buckwood High School was not because of him having actual power.It was just because he did not know how strong the Surreys were actually.He was lucky as well. His wife even called the first-in-command of Buckwood along with the others to help him stand his ground.There were still loopholes to this theory.But the title of a live-in son-in-law was enough to change Ms. Yuna’s impressions of Harvey York in an instant.Her eyes were showing slight disgust toward him as well.What sort of dirty thought did the live-in son-in-law have if he did not specify that he was taken when she asked him out for food?But Ms. Yuna was not to be blamed; she was a beauty too and had a pair of peach-eyes. Men that approached her would naturally have heinous thoughts about her.That was why she would always be cautious and disgusted toward any man that approached her.And i
"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."
