“Sir Yoel, I don’t care whether their invitations are real or otherwise, or whatever their status may be. Since they dared to hit me, they owe me an explanation!”Luke Surrey exclaimed furiously.Yoel narrowed his eyes at Luke and replied indifferently, “Prince Surrey, I’m afraid you still don’t know who is standing in front of you.”“I’m telling you. He’s a noble person who even I, Yoel Graham, have to respect!”“I know what happened. You started the whole mess. You deserve to be hit!”“I urge you to kneel right this instant now apologize to Mr. York. Otherwise, you’ll regret it!”So saying, Yoel nodded respectfully at Harvey’s direction and went to greet Harvey. The sight stunned every single person in the hall.Even Yoel Graham respected Harvey so much. Who was this young man?“Yoel Graham! What do you mean?!”“You think you can run trample all over the Surreys just because you’re the first-in-command of Buckwood?”“Let me warn you! It’s only a matter of a few words from
At the scholarly gathering.Yoel Graham hung up his phone. He looked at Luke Surrey and said indifferently, “Your family head should be here soon. I hope you’ll be as stubborn as you are now later.”Luke sneered.Not only the Surrey family was a first-class family in Buckwood, but they were also allied with the other three first-class families.Who wouldn’t be afraid of such a powerful family?He would wait until the family head arrives. Then, he’d make Harvey kneel and crawl. Plus, he’d make sure that today was the last day Yoel remained the first-in-command in Buckwood!The guests watched this scene as they exchanged curious glances.The chief of the Surrey family, James Surrey, was also coming here because of such a trivial matter.It seemed that today’s event was destined to pierce the sky!After Yoel finished handling the matter, he walked to Harvey, leaned forward, and said, “Mr. York, I’m sorry I’m late. If I arrived a few minutes earlier, then all these wouldn't have h
“Head! He’s the man who hit me. He even wants me to kneel and apologize to him!”“Yoel Graham is on his side, too!”“This is defiance!”“We must kill them all and make them regret they were born into this world!”The moment Luke saw James walk in, he rushed forward and started to shout his dissatisfaction.He was James’s most beloved grandson. If not, how could he have been crowned as the Prince of the Surreys?In the past, James would certainly help Luke punish anyone, so long as Luke wished it.James gazed deeply at Harvey, who was calm. He inhaled deeply, and then slapped Luke in the face. He yelled, “You fool! I teach you to be humble every day, yet you’re always making trouble outside!”“Do you want the Surreys to get into big trouble?”Luke never expected James would slap him the moment James arrived.Luke wasn’t the only one. Others didn’t anticipate this, either.It was important to understand that the Surreys did real estate business and worked in the education indu
“Your Prince Surrey has repeatedly provoked me and inconvenienced me. Do you think I’m easy to step on?”Harvey said indifferently, studying James Surrey, who stood in front of him.James Surrey took in another deep breath. He had figured out where Harvey came from. Although he was somewhat scared of Harvey, it was only a tiny amount of fear.James replied solemnly, “Mr. York, I know who you are and who is behind you.”“The Surreys didn’t mean to offend the person behind you, so we apologize for what happened today.”“But please, don’t push your luck.”Luke Surrey held his cheek and snarled, “Sir! What status could this trash possibly have? Isn’t he just a live-in son-in-law? Why do we, the Surreys, need to be afraid of him?”“Why should the Surrey family apologize? Even if you can accept such humiliation, our family couldn’t afford it!”“Shut up!” James glared at Luke. He was trying his best to resolve today’s problems, but Luke was actually trying to intervene.He thought fo
“What do you mean?”Harvey asked nonchalantly.Yoel Graham whispered, “That child, Luke, doesn’t have much ability, but he’s still able to become the prince of the Surrey family. The biggest reason for that is that he has a good godfather.”“Who?”“The king of streets in South Light, John Gotti.” Yoel said in a deep voice, a solemn expression on his face.John’s status was too high. He was a tough character in the streets of South Light.Yoel may be the first-in-command in Buckwood, but even he couldn’t afford to provoke John Gotti.Harvey laughed. “Are you saying Luke will ask John Gotti to come after me?”“Probably so.” Yoel looked somber. “I know you’re strong and powerful. But the Surrey family is rich and John has his men. If they combined forces, the impact would be great.”“Still, please be careful, Mr. York.”Harvey turned his head and studied at Yoel carefully. He then said indifferently, “Are you hoping for a huge conflict between Luke and me? That both sides would
“Just how old are you? Are you planning to find a college or university for further studies?” Mandy was happy to see that Harvey was motivated.If her husband really intended to study, she would be willing to pay for him to study abroad.But Harvey shook his head solemnly and said, “It’s not for me, but Xynthia.”“Isn’t she in her third year of high school? She’s going to university soon.”“I found that the universities in Buckwood aren’t that good. I’m afraid Xynthia has to go to Wolsing, Mordu, or maybe San Francisco for university.”Mandy laughed and said, “Harvey, you can just let Father and Mother handle it. You’re just her brother-in-law. You don’t have to worry so much.”Harvey rubbed his temples. He couldn’t tell Mandy that he had seen through the true colors of those in Buckwood’s education community at the scholarly gathering tonight.“Seems like I have to push forward the trip to San Francisco. I’ll help Xynthia go and see the universities there.”Harvey murmured.H
After deciding to go to San Francisco and helping Xynthia to look for a good university, Harvey asked Yvonne to make preliminary arrangements for the affairs to come.For instance, the branch company in San Francisco needed a capable local person to be responsible for independent operations.Mandy was very surprised after Harvey told him about going to San Francisco. “Are you really going there to help Xynthia to search for a good university? How long are you staying there?”“Three or five days at most.” Harvey thought about it in his heart.If it turned out well, he could settle the affairs in the branch in one to two days. Then, he could visit the University of San Francisco.In truth, deep in Harvey’s heart, he hoped Mandy would go with him.It was a pity that Mandy had been too busy recently. How would she have time to go with him?Mandy thought for a while and said, “If you want to go, you can go. But since you’re going there, please do something for me.”“What is it?” Har
At Hong Kong International Airport.Quinton and Queenie York were walking together side by side. Even in a world-class international metropolis like this, the sight of both of them together was still extremely striking.At the VIP boarding port, Quinton stopped and coldly said, “I’ve already arranged everything in San Francisco. You only need to sit still when you get there. No need to do anything unnecessary.”Queenie sent him a smile that could topple buildings.“Are you scared?”Quinton did not reply, but the instant he turned around, a sinister flash appeared in his gaze.Queenie tilted her head slightly at seeing his back. She sighed and asked, “Are these little tricks really useful?”“If you fail again, I don’t think even Grandma York would let you off the hook.”…At San Francisco Airport.Harvey York was already quite bored of waiting when Queenie had boarded her plane.About half an hour later, Halsey Lowe showed up.Her height was around 5.5 feet tall. She had wel
"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."
