“What did you say?!”Rachel Hardy was shivering in anger. She wanted to jump up and choke Harvey York to death, but then she was powerless at that moment.“Harvey York! You can kill me, but don’t you dare insult me!”“But aren’t you stupid?” Harvey asked calmly.“If you really use your head and think about it, I could’ve just killed Oliver Bauer if I really wanted to. Why would I waste the extra effort?“And with his status and power, do you really think he’s worth my time to be assassinated? Is he even worthy?“No!”Harvey showed certainty on his face.Moreover, he was not just spouting nonsense. The so-called branch leader of Mordu’s Longmen branch, Oliver, might seem high and mighty in other peoples’ eyes, but he was nothing to Harvey.Hearing that Oliver was not worthy in Harvey’s eyes, Rachel trembled. Her body went limp soon after, and she kneeled on the couch.She has already thought about the situation in recent days. If Harvey wanted Oliver dead, he could’ve just kil
“Harvey York, why are you still shaming me even after all this?!“What sense of accomplishment do you get when you shame a crippled woman like me?!“Or are you interested in having my body as well?! Do as you please then!“If you want none of these, then please let me leave.”Rachel Hardy’s face had lost all color while she was saying her words weakly.Harvey then calmly replied, “I’m sorry. You look nice and have a great body, but I’m not interested.“As for everything that happened tonight, I wouldn’t say that it’s actually shameful…“I wasn’t saving you for the sake of being nice either, but I felt that you have some use for me.“Tell you what, if you work for me from today onward, I’ll help you recover…”“Harvey York, you’re crossing the line. You…”Rachel was trembling in anger when she heard Harvey ask her to work for him, but she froze over after a moment.“What did you say? You’ll help me recover?”‘How is this possible?’She met a lot of doctors and professionals
‘How is this even possible?!‘How is Harvey York Mordu’s Longmen branch leader?!‘Even if Oliver Bauer didn’t die because of him, he was still involved in his murder!‘From another standpoint, Harvey’s supposed to be the enemy of Mordu’s Longmen branch!‘The rumors were true about whoever that killed Harvey would be the next branch leader!‘But why did Samuel Bauer let him become the branch leader?’Rachel Hardy held the badge in her hand, then gave a few good looks at it. She then realized that it was true and that the badge was genuine.“How could this be?! This really is the Branch Leader Badge!“The person holding this should be Mordu’s Longmen branch leader!“Mordu’s Longmen branch will follow all orders, and betrayers will be killed without mercy…“But why is this…”Rachel was muttering to herself. Her expression was frantically changing at that moment.Aiden Bauer did not believe it before. But after seeing Rachel’s expression, he realized something.Harvey really w
Seeing Harvey York and Rachel Hardy walk into a room, Aiden Bauer showed an expression of utter disbelief. He did not believe that someone crippled would be able to recover! He thought that all this was just a big joke!But after half an hour, Aiden was surprised.Harvey nonchalantly walked out of the room.But Rachel had regained the confidence and aura that she had in the past. She only showed this side of hers when she was still the top talent of Mordu’s Longmen branch.Rachel walked toward the middle of the hall and threw her fist on a red wooden table. The table then exploded and shattered into a million pieces.“It’s back!“It’s really back!“I’m back!”Tears were streaming down Rachel’s face like a waterfall when she saw the sight.A crippled woman like her turned into a talented genius once again!This was the legendary return of the top talent!Even Aiden was shocked by the sight.He knew full well of Rachel’s injuries.Countless well-known doctors already said th
Harvey York squinted slightly while looking at Aiden Bauer, who had constantly been groveling.He did not think that this wealthy playboy could even bring up a constructive plan such as this.‘This idea isn’t bad at all. I’ll be able to deal with everything at once with this.‘I’ll be able to catch the higher-ups first before anyone else. If I deal with them first, their subordinates would naturally have to obey me.’“Young Master Bauer, that’s a pretty good idea.”Harvey slowly walked forward and glared at Aiden.“But you were the one screaming about how you’ll murder my entire family. Do you really think that I’ll ever trust you?”Aiden pounced forward and hugged Harvey’s leg, then said while crying, “Branch Leader York, all of it was my fault before! I didn’t know who you were! I wouldn’t dare cause you any more trouble! I wouldn’t dare to take revenge against you either!“Please give me a chance!“I’ll gladly be your lackey! No, no, no, I’ll even be your dog!“I’ll bite w
Initially, Harvey planned to let Rachel kill Aiden as a pledge to him.However, he never imagined that Aiden still had such insight and vision.Still, Aiden was right.Even if Rachel entirely succumbed to Harvey, Oliver’s death would still remain as a thorn between the two of them.Perhaps she wouldn’t do anything under normal circumstances, but she might lose control during critical moments. The best solution was to have one more person beside her. For instance, Aiden Bauer. In this way, they could check and balance out each other.After all, Rachel was almost raped by Aiden. Harvey firmly believed that the two of them would never make a good team.“Interesting.”A meaningful look flashed on Harvey’s face as he thought of this.He casually took out a pill from his body and threw it on the ground, and said indifferently, “I’ll give you a chance to be my lackey.”“I can support you as the head of the Bauer family. You’ll manage the Kaizen Group for me and help me control thei
The caller address of this beautiful number was Mordu. It was a number most people couldn’t get their hands on. At first, Harvey assumed the caller to be Yona. Thus, he waited until the other party had called for two or three times before finally picking up his phone.Immediately, an impatient voice yelled from the other side, “Are you, Harvey?!”The other party was not Yona, but from her voice, she should be a girl in her early twenties.“It’s me,” Harvey said with great interest. “Who is this?”The other party snorted. “Harvey, Prince York! You’re always on your high horse!”“Mordu isn’t a backwater area like Buckwood. You come marching into Mordu to patronize all of us, but you never know when you’ll trip and fall!”After a few more doses of sarcasm from the other party, she finally revealed, “I’m Hailey Smith, Yvonne’s cousin.”Harvey was taken aback for a moment. A split-second later he blurted out, “How is she? Is she okay? I want to see her!”Hailey sneered sarcastica
After waking up early in the morning the next day, Harvey dressed up and immediately headed to the rooftop western restaurant.Prague Hotel was where he stayed. Frankly speaking, this so-called “net red” western restaurant’s view was not as good as the one in the presidential suite he stayed in.It was almost half-past ten when he entered the western restaurant.Harvey glanced around the place, and quickly spotted Hailey sitting with her friend.But this wasn’t because Harvey knew Hailey.Hailey and her friend sat in the best sightseeing spot in the western restaurant. Coupling with their pretty appearances and attractive figures, the two instantly became the focus of the entire place.The first of them was wearing a black miniskirt that exposed a pair of white and tender thighs. She had a pointed chin and a small, exquisite face.Her face was quite similar to Yvonne's. She should be Hailey Smith.The other girl accompanying Hailey was wearing a short-styled cheongsam. She had
"Not to mention, these are weapons that Grand City's top brass directly controls. If it isn't because I've taken control over Earth Hall recently, I wouldn't have been able to take these out," Clarion said with a sigh.Harvey nodded. "Looks like letting you control Earth Hall is one of my correct decisions after coming to Grand City."Then, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. "Clarion. Take your men and attack from the outer ring. Do your best to reach the destination and save our people."Clarion blinked. "And you?"Harvey said, "Always go for the head. A truly powerful elite must be keeping an eye on everything. If we don't eliminate him, our rescue will be destined to fail."Harvey slammed his foot on the ground before jumping into the air, his figure quickly disappearing into the horizon. He noticed that there were plenty of elites converging. This was Sky Plane's territory. No matter how many he killed, his enemies would most likely swarm him.If that was the case,
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
