“Where’s my car?”Cam chuckled coldly, ready to enter his car.“Deputy Representative Cam, you might not be able to drive a car for the time being. Your license is still being suspended, and you’re still out on bail…”Dominic looked worried.Slap!Cam swung his backhand against Dominic’s face. He spat, “Are you teaching me how to do things, now?”“N-no…!”“It was just dumb luck that I got arrested! Who in Buckwood would actually dare to touch me again?”Cam held an icy expression.He had been in Buckwood for a few years now. He had always been arrogant and domineering. Never did he ever face humiliation such as this.Soon, a car came roaring out.Dominic smiled bitterly at the sight. He was a higher up in Star Chaebol, with thousands working under him. Yet in the end, he was a mere underling. Before Cam, he had no status whatsoever.At this moment, the representative of Star Chaebol in Country H, Peter Lee, gave a phone call.“I heard my son was arrested recently around Bu
“Alright, I’ll handle this myself.”Harvey went downstairs soon after. He looked for Sky Corporation’s security team leader, Marcus.“Marcus, come with me.”Marcus did not know that Harvey was actually Prince York, but their relationship had always been quite good.Marcus saw that Harvey was about to stir up something for someone and subconsciously asked, “Brother York, are you going out for work? Should I bring a few more of my men?”“No need. Just drive the car for me. Remember, you’re just a driver today,” Harvey told him.Buckwood had gone through some hardship recently. The investment and business engagement forum that was planned for a long while had to be halted because of the previous incidents.Hence, Harvey wanted to handle a trivial task such as this as discreetly as possible.…At the Golden Pond Mountain Villa.Inside a Taekwondo dojo.Cam changed into his Taekwondo uniform, a black belt wrapped around his waist.A black belt!This man, who looked like a rich
“A mere first-in-command of Buckwood is worthy to be someone’s support?”Cam chuckled coldly.“Since we’ve got everything straight, Harvey York can wait for his death. As for Yoel, send word to him. If he comes here to apologize, I’ll let go of everything.”“If not, then consider his position revoked!”“Of course, sir!” Dominic said excitedly.Since Cam now had a target to vent to, Dominic wouldn’t get dragged into the situation.“Deputy Representative Cam, should I bring Mandy Zimmer here first for you to enjoy her?”Dominic’s wretched expression leaked out.“Go, make it quick.”Cam laughed. This was his favourite hobby.Bang!Right at this moment, the doors of the Golden Pond Mountain Villa were kicked open.“Where’s Cam Lee? Tell him to show himself.”A voice echoed.In a split second, about ten men from Country J clad in Taekwondo uniforms sprang out.Harvey and Marcus stepped inside.“Deputy Representative Cam, he looks like Harvey York!” Dominic exclaimed as he gl
Harvey nodded.“You’ve got guts, but you’re using it in the wrong places.”“What?”“Are you mad?”“Are you going to challenge me now?”Cam grinned tauntingly.“Harvey, you’re just a consultant from the Buckwood government. You’re a puppy owned by Yoe!”“Maybe your privileges gave you the wrong idea. Did they make you feel that you can challenge me?”“Should I call you naive or oblivious?”Cam then pointed at all of the inspectors lying on the ground.“I’m warning you. Not only will you be beaten to the ground today, but these men’s injuries will be on you!”“Let me tally the numbers for you. The criminal charge of battery against officers should be enough for you to live the rest of your life behind bars!”Cam had only thought of this in the spur of the moment, but he found that the idea wasn’t so bad.It would be amusing to make Harvey be the scapegoat of Cam’s assault on the officers.Cam didn’t even have to think of the specifics of the plan. With his words alone, at l
“Beings that I can’t cross?”Slap!Harvey slapped Cam’s back, then gave another with his backhand.The slaps rang as loud as thunder in the empty dojo.“I crossed you. What are you going to do about it?”The slaps formed two palm prints on Cam’s face.But Harvey had no intention of stopping. He swung his hand across Cam’s face twice more.“Who do you think you are?”“You, threaten me?”“You’re no different than a stray dog in my eyes, and Star Chaebol is even less so!”“Do you honestly believe that Star Chaebol would dare to act even after I snap your neck?”Harvey swung his hand after he spoke, sending Cam flying a hefty distance across the dojo.Cam flew past an assortment of sporting equipment in the process. The whole scene was a huge mess.Harvey’s flurry of slaps had made everyone’s jaws drop.Even the bodyguards who were supposed to protect Cam could not come to their senses.They could not believe what they saw!Who was Cam Lee?The deputy representative of Sta
A Taekwondo blackbelt indeed possessed some strength.Seeing Cam’s performance, his lackeys all started to cheer for him and praised him to no end.“Harvey, it’s still early for you to kneel!”“Even Yoel and Yannick can’t help you today!”“Without those two behind you, you’re just an ordinary man in front of our deputy representative!”“You can’t even take one blow from him! Deputy Representative Cam is a blackbelt! One kick could turn your whole head crooked!”“Taekwondo is the best martial art in the world when it comes to killing! How could someone like you even understand?”‘The best martial art for killing?’Harvey gave a smile full of ridicule. From what he knew, Taekwondo is the worst martial art out of the martial arts that he knew of.Forget Muay Thai; Taekwondo can be easily beaten if a person practices mixed martial arts.But Cam didn’t share this opinion. The black belt he had gave him immense courage. He marched toward Harvey with a cold expression, his gaze fill
Dominic couldn’t accept the reality before him.Cam’s lackeys could not accept it, either!Even Marcus, who came with Harvey, found this whole thing hard to believe!Cam was trembling with anger.He wanted to take action himself and turn Harvey into minced meat, but he never imagined that Harvey would simply slap him into oblivion.His dignity was being trampled at this very moment!Cam was distressed and upset. He glared at Harvey, exclaiming furiously, “You snuck up on me again?!”“You’re shameless!”Dominic and the others let out a sigh of relief after hearing that it was a sneak attack, acting as if they understood what happened.No wonder Cam would get hit like that! The filth, Harvey, went for a sneak attack!How shameless of him to land an attack like that in an actual fight!“Bah!”But before they could even start to insult Harvey, Harvey already went ahead for another hard slap.Slap!The stern and fierce look on Cam disappeared when he was sent flying once more.
“You bastard! How dare you touch me?! I’ll never let you go! Star Chaebol will never let you off the hook!”Cam was boiling with never before seen fury. He was the deputy representative of the Star Chaebol, for crying out loud! Never had he stoop this low!Shame aside, he felt that he had been robbed.Harvey crouched and calmly asked, “Could they?”“Harvey! You bastard!”“Kill me if you have what it takes!” Cam exclaimed furiously when he sensed Harvey’s disdain toward him.“Kill you? Why would I do that?”“I came here for your debt, not your life.”“in my eyes, you should live to pay the price instead of escaping punishment by dying. How’s that sound for you?”Harvey smiled.“You rammed into my wife’s car. Since you don’t know how to use the pedals in your car, I’ll break your legs as a lesson. That sounds fine, right?”“Harvey, enough!”Dominic could not bear to see the sight any longer.He couldN’t just watch as Cam was about to get his legs broken.If that happened, t
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
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
