Fred was feeling very conceited.Not only was he a director, he was also from Hong Kong. Often, he wielded significant authority in Country H. Even the police did not dare to touch him.As such, he was confident that he could trample on these nobodies standing before him.“You’re the director?” Harvey asked calmly.“That’s right, I am! Who are you…”Slap!Before Fred was even done speaking, Harvey had already moved forward and slapped him hard on the face. With just a simple slap, Fred’s face was already crooked and swollen.Fred froze, and then wailed in pain. He covered his face and screamed, “You bastard! How dare you hit me?!”“Don’t you know what death is?!”The followers behind him were seething.“Do you even know what this place is, you brat?! How dare you hit someone here!”“Do you think we can’t end you?!”“Director Miller is nobility, and yet you dared to hit him? You’re finished!”The crowd of followers were jumping in anger while Harvey walked forward nonchal
Fred froze. He gritted his teeth and swiftly made a call.After ten minutes or so, the sound of high heels clacking from the entrance could be heard. A beautiful woman with an enchanting body and exquisite makeup entered, accompanied by her bodyguards.The woman walked in with her high heels, cold and haughty. “Fred, I heard that there’s an oblivious man causing trouble in Hengdian World Studios.”“Rest assured, you’ll have your justice. Young Master Flynn has asked me to mediate the affair.”“I do want to see who in Mordu has the guts to go against Young Master Flynn!”The enchanting woman was none other than the Black Widow, Faye Goddard herself.No one expected her to show up in Mordu after being kicked out of Buckwood, and for her to still be working for Matthew, the man leading the Four Masters of Mordu.She crossed her arms and walked nonchalantly toward the middle of the room. Her gaze landed on Harvey.Harvey sat in a darkened area, so Faye could not have a clear look a
Harvey walked forward nonchalantly and lightly slapped Faye on her face. He asked calmly, “So you’re Fred’s support?”“Y-ye… No…”Slap!Harvey swung his hand furiously across Faye’s face and exclaimed, “Louder! Did you not eat or something?”“No!”Faye trembled when she came back to her senses. She knelt on the ground, scared witless. “Sir York, I have nothing to do with this man!”‘Sir York?!’The crowd was dumbfounded to hear how she addressed Harvey. Nobody expected that a fierce and prideful woman like Faye would actually kneel in front of Harvey, let alone call him Sir York!What was going on here?!“You don’t?”“Then what are you doing here?” Harvey asked again.“I’m here to greet you myself, Sir York. If there’s nothing else, I’ll just leave right now… I’ll leave…!”Faye dearly wished that she had not come here in the first place.This man in front of her dared to send Matthew flying with a kick. Obviously, she would amount to nothing to him!In front of this m
Slap, slap, slap!Larry was merciless. He ruthlessly swung his palm against Fred’s face, slapping the latter dozens of times. Every single swing was full of power. Each time Fred got hit, he unleashed a loud yowl of pain. Harvey watched everything with narrowed eyes, saying nothing. He was curious. Larry kept on slapping Fred as he spoke. “It’s not that big of a deal when people come and cause trouble here.”“The problem is that you’re too useless! Not only did you let people act wildly, you even let a bunch of nobodies waltz in here as they please! Do you think I won’t be embarrassed?!”Naturally, Larry was openly insulting someone else.Jay could not help but say out loud, “You…”Harvey waved his hand, signalling Jay to quiet. He wanted to see what else Larry could do.“And how many times have I already told you?! Stay away from that woman whenever possible!”“She’s just a vixen who sleeps with countless people! She can show off if she bumps into an ordinary person, but wh
“That’s right, Xynthia was hit. But she’s not even injured that badly. It’s all just flesh wounds, she doesn't even need to go to the hospital.”“Seth was quite ruthless, but his emotions were justified. He was only trying to seek justice for his wife.”“Besides, Stacy’s unconscious right now. It wouldn’t be right for you to use violence to solve the problems!”“As for the truth, I’ve already understood the entire situation. This is just an incident that neither of us wants to see.”“So, young man, I’ll show you some respect today.”“You’d have to let go so we could be on good terms in the future, no?”“Do you understand what I’m saying?”Larry still wasn’t able to figure out Harvey’s true identity, hence his show of courtesy rather than force.He wouldn’t mind paying a small price to mediate the affair if Harvey agreed to keep the peace. After all, the police force was involved. If things were to escalate, Hengdian World Studios’s stocks would be affected as well.Harvey re
Harvey knocked on the table with his right hand. He tilted his head slightly and said, “So…”“You’re saying you won't agree to my terms?”“And you’re saying that you won’t give me my justice?”Larry smiled.“Young man. In this day and age, peace brings money…”“That’s why I’m unable to agree with your so-called justice.”“Of course, you’re allowed to take action on your own and make me regret my decision if you still feel resentful.”“If you do that, I might even seek justice for you. You never know.”Disdain was written all over Larry’s face. To him, Harvey having connections with the police was quite impressive.Despite this capability, Larry felt that Harvey was still too young to suppress him.“How capable!”“Impressive!”Harvey nodded slightly.“It’s the first time someone has been this disrespectful in front of me since I came to Mordu.”“I hope you won’t kneel in front of me and beg for mercy tomorrow.”“It’d be boring if that were to happen!”“Now, move!”Harve
Larry did not care about Faye’s threats.Even though Faye had some capability, to Larry, she was just a social butterfly in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry.Why would he fear someone a mere wench was scared of?As for the response from the police force, he had already inquired about the reason why it happened.Benjamin Lynch, who only had a few days left to live, somehow got rid of his low spirits along with his sickness and had recently made a strong comeback in Mordu.As a member of the Lynch family, Jay’s status had once again risen up. Naturally, nobody would dare to touch him.Simply put, Harvey did not have a strong support, nor was he extremely strong. He was just lucky.With Benjamin’s rise, nobody within the police force would oppose Jay.After figuring out the situation, Larry’s expression became calm and peaceful again.He lit up another cigar and took a puff, then gave his orders to his subordinates.“Number one, find that man’s address. Tell Seth that he's the
“Mr. Chambers, something’s wrong! Mordu’s Security Management System sealed off the Hengdian World Studios today!”“They said that there are serious safety hazards in our studio that must be thoroughly investigated. Nobody’s allowed in for the time being.”“Also, Durin spent a lot of money buying off the internet-famous people that we lifted up recently!”“After the curtain event went public, Country J’s Star Chaebol requested to permanently cease our collaboration.”“Several well-known celebrities under our contract had their scandals publicized, too! I’m afraid they won’t be able to show up in public for the time being.”“In South Light, the banks working with us immediately froze all of our assets. They said that our studio is a huge debt risk, and that they will not unfreeze our assets for now!”“...”With just a single call, Larry’s expression changed over and over again.These were news that came from his subordinates, who were shocked by the unexpected turn of events.E
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
