In less than a minute, the gangsters ended up on the ground.Several of them had their limbs broken, and they now looked at Harvey in utter fear. They tormented the weak and feared the strong. They dared not muster even the slightest hate against people like Harvey, even if he knocked into them.“Keep watch of my car. If I see even a scratch on it, you’re all going to die.” Harvey warned. He then headed toward the area around the factory.…Harvey stepped into the factory’s warehouse, his face still ice cold. “Who are you?! Don’t you know this is private property?! Scram!”Some blonde, blue-eyed foreigners emerged from the shadows of the factory building. One of them carried a military dagger. He shot Harvey a dark glare. “You’re Third Master Yates’s men?”“You’re the ones who took my wife, correct?”They were shocked when they heard Harvey utter the name, “Third Master Yates”.The blonde man standing in the lead, Edward, sized up Harvey for a brief second.“We tried eve
“Are you talking about the foreigners? I’ve sent them away,” Harvey replied coldly.He noticed Mandy, thoroughly tied up in the corner, and finally let out a sigh of relief.As long as Mandy was unscathed, it was not too late.“Don’t come any closer! You think I won’t kill her if you do?!” Zack exclaimed. He grabbed a knife on a table, preparing to rush toward Mandy.“Aaaaaah—!”Screams that sounded like a dying pig echoed. Zack rolled to the ground with a wail.“I thought that you’re just a stink bug, and I didn’t even have any interest in killing you off.”“But it’s proved that I can’t be merciful sometimes. Only when you die will no one come back to bite me again,” Harvey said. stepping on the knife.Zack’s whole body was trembling. He thought that he could definitely kill Harvey after learning a few moves from the forbidden land behind the mountains of the Jean family.He didn’t expect that his face would be trampled by Harvey’s feet.“Harvey York! You can’t kill me!”“Y
“I don’t know what the forbidden land behind the mountains represents, but I do know that nobody can stop me if I want to kill someone,” Harvey said.He exerted more pressure on his feet, which was crushing Zack’s face.Zack’s head was about to sink into the ground. His head felt like it was about to explode, and he could not help but scream in agony.He never expected that Harvey would unhesitatingly kill him, nor did he expect Harvey to actually step him to death! Just then, Harvey’s lips curled into a frown. He took a quick step back and dodged to the side.Immediately after, he threw a fist beside him.Boom!His fist knocked a cane, which pierced into a wall that shook from the impact.“Master! Master, is that you? Help me!”Zack opened his mouth and began to struggle, as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.Harvey squinted and looked at the entrance of the warehouse.An old man clad in a suit could be seen walking inside, his arms folded neatly. His hair was
“Not many. There’s only a dozen left from the ones we brought from America.”Butler Yates was sweating profusely.Without strong combat power, the Yateses of America would lose their main source of strength in Buckwood.Naturally, Third Master Yates understood this. He frowned, and then asked, “Do we know what their goal is?”Butler Yates replied with a tremor, “I think they’re trying to provoke you, Third Master.”Third Master Yates’s face changed. He was conceited, but he was no fool.No matter how strong a man is, it is meaningless if one is outnumbered.Besides, Buckwood was somebody else’s turf.Third Master Yates sighed.“We didn’t bring enough men, and the two boxing champions were killed off as well. If not, why would the Yates family from America be scared of anyone?”After pondering for a while, Third Master Yates finally ordered, “Pack up, we’ll be leaving Buckwood for a while. We’ll go back to Texas to regroup. We’re not done with this yet!”“We’ll take the plane
“What’s going on? Don’t you know how to drive?! I’m going to kill you!”Butler Yates was boiling with anger.Third Master Yates’s expression was horrible. For the driver to brake suddenly, those who weren’t in the know might assume that something had gone wrong.Didn’t this driver know that he might scare someone to death?The driver replied with a horrible expression at this moment, “Third Master, Butler, there’s someone blocking the road ahead.”“What? Who dares to block my road even?”Third Master Yates opened the car window and looked.A few people walked out from behind the roadblock, and the one leading the group was none other than Harvey.“It’s you, you loser. What do you want?”Third Master Yates let out a huge sigh of relief when he saw that it was Harvey.Right now, he was most afraid of Prince York, not Harvey.“You should stay forever since you’ve come to Buckwood. Why would you leave?” Harvey said calmly, folding his arms.“How presumptuous! Take him down!”T
Cold sweats dripped down Third Master Yates’s face. At this moment, he was unsure of what expression to make. His own so-called trump card was a joke in front of this man.Whatever he said would only embarrass himself.Right when his butler behind him heard that Harvey was actually the Head Coach and Prince York himself, his butler let out a horrible scream and kneeled on the ground with a loud bang, and instantly groveled.He actually plotted against the Head Coach’s wife herself! This was a sin he could never escape from.“Head…Head Coach! I was blind toward that fact before! Please give me another chance, I’ll make sure to do everything you ask of me, and treat you well!”Third Master Yates had a horrible expression on his face, but he understood his limits. He gave up the moment he knew of Harvey’s identity.Harvey chuckled.“Third Master, you’re a professional that has beaten every strong opponent all around America. How could you give up that easily?”“I’ll give you one
“This is the Five Strikes of Lightning?”Harvey was speechless.He confirmed once again that Third Master Yates…Was indeed an idiot.Third Master Yates was stunned when he saw Harvey’s perplexed face. He screamed, “Impossible! You’d at least be heavily injured if you were hit by all Five Strikes of Lightning!”“I’ll give you another!”“Take this!”Harvey let out a sigh, then raised his right hand and swung it.Slap!His slap sent Third Master Yates’ face crashing to the ground, spinning constantly.Third Master Yates stumbled around and got up, then rushed forward and swung his hand once more.“Convert!”Slap!Harvey swung his backhand and sent Third Master Yates spinning in place. His body kept twitching to no end.“I can’t believe this!”“Killer move! Take this!”Slap!Harvey gave Third Master Yates another slap, slamming the latter’s head to the ground even harder this time. His eyes were turning black, his mouth was swollen.Third Master Yates struggled to raise
Back at the Gardens Residence, sounds of talking rang from inside.Xynthia and her parents had returned from scouting universities.Xynthia immediately brought out a suit right when Harvey pushed the door. “Brother-In-Law, hurry and get yourself dressed up! A teacher in charge of enrollment in Mordu University will interview me soon!”“Dress up neatly and treat her well!”Harvey greeted Lilian and Simon, and then asked curiously, “You went for Mordu University after searching for this long?”“We did, but the requirement for the university is too high. When I went to apply, they said that they would send a teacher to interview me.”“Brother-In-Law, my sister’s been extremely busy lately. She’s been ignoring me! I’ll leave this up to you!”Harvey chuckled. He had no intention to reject Xynthia. This was a major event for her, anyway.The family finally decided to let Harvey connect with the teacher in charge of enrollment in Mordu University.Not long after, Harvey went to the h
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
Boom! Boom! Boom!There was a string of explosions in mid-air. The bolts had also been engulfed by the explosion. Even after Harvey had managed to negate the attacks, he didn't stop. He grabbed the rocks from the ground with his hand.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Several elites hidden in the shadows instantly lost their fighting skills."He really is a True Warrior," Clarion muttered when he saw what happened. He wasn't even sure what to say.He thought he should be able to put himself to some use this time, hence why he asked to come with Harvey. He didn't expect Harvey to be so powerful that he needed others at all.Very quickly, all the attackers gathered. It was obvious they knew they couldn't do anything to Harvey anymore."These people are from the Origin Sword Style!" Clarion said seriously after he looked at what the attackers were wearing. "They're quite troublesome. While they look like they're over-the-top, they're most likely sacrificial soldiers. But the problem is t
"Of course, if we can maintain absolute discretion, we can escape without alerting anyone once we find Ms. Mandy," Clarion said, remaining positive. "That way, we don't have to fight and draw the attention of those who hold power in Sky Plane."Harvey was sitting in the van. He frowned and looked at the buildings with clear Island Nation influence. "Since Daichi is blackmailing me using Mandy, that means they're confident we won't be able to take her away. I believe we'll have to fight with those from the Origin Sword Style today."Harvey gave it a thought for a while and said, "And don't you think that the information Vaida gave us is too accurate? As if someone left behind an opening for us."Clarion's eyes widened. "Don't tell me this is a trap just for us?"Harvey shook his head. "Not only for us, but also for Grand City. If we're really stuck here… It doesn't matter if we're killed or captured alive, we'll become the excuse for them to attack Grand City. This time, we must…"
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
