“Lebron is indeed quite something.”Harvey’s tone was calm and steady.“But you don’t have to worry about it. I can deal with him if he actually shows up.”“Enough!”“This is enough!”Brennan’s expression turned as cold as ice. “If it weren’t for my junior asking Master for help, I wouldn’t show up here even if you groveled!”“I’m telling you all this to warn you of what’s coming!”“And I’m telling you what to do to save your own skin as well!”“You should know what’s good for you!”In Brennan’s eyes, Harvey’s fate had already been sealed when he went against Lucas and Justin for Kait.That is, unless Harvey begged for Brennan’s help to protect him in the name of the Bray Temple.If Harvey didn’t, then he would be dead without a doubt.Before Harvey could say anything in reply, Kait cut in anxiously, “Senior, you’re saying that Lebron will take action because of me?”Brennan snarled, “Most likely.”“I heard the people Lucas sent to kill you all died in the Devil’s Trian
Harvey’s words were simple and straightforward.He didn’t care for Brennan, much less Mordu’s well-known Leonard Bray.“What did you just say?”Brennan, who was crossing his legs on the couch nonchalantly as he waited for Harvey to kneel, froze. He wondered if he had heard wrong.Countless wealthy young masters would usually wail and scream to be accepted by him, though Brennan never cared for them.He gave this kid a chance for his junior’s sake, and yet this kid promptly rejected his offer?Brennan seriously thought he had misheard wrong.“I made it very clear. You’re unworthy.”“Even your master doesn’t have the right.”“As for Lucas, Justin, or that Lebron guy.”“I can handle it.”“There’s no need for you to worry.”Harvey said every word loud and clear.Listening to him, Kait grew even more anxious.“Harvey, now’s not the time to be prideful!”“I know that you’re strong, and that you’re capable.”“But people like Lebron have hands stained full of blood. He’ll stop
The exquisite door was kicked down, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.Several men in suits swarmed in soon after.Lebron strode in, carrying his silver handgun.He was dressed in a tuxedo with a tophat as usual, his whole appearance sophisticated and gentleman-like.The sight instantly terrified Kait.“Lebron?!”Harvey, however, calmly walked forward and shielded Kait with his back.Brennan’s eyes began to twitch frantically. He never imagined that Lebron would waltz in immediately right as he mentioned Lebron’s name.Lebron sized up Harvey with interest. He was in no rush. Harvey greeted him casually, “Lebron. I didn’t think we’d meet again so soon.”“I don’t care why you’re here, but you’ll have to pay for the damages caused here.”Lebron replied nonchalantly, “With how I do things, I was prepared to shoot you dead the moment you step outside.”“Unfortunately, Prince Jean can’t wait any longer. He wanted you dead by tonight.”“Also, he asked me to send Ms. Walk
Kait became so anxious about Brennan’s refusal to help Harvey, that her face lost all color.“Senior, if you protect Harvey, I’ll…I’ll agree to it…”“Kait…”Brennan looked at Kait’s enchanting face and graceful body, and asked, “Are you serious?”“Well, if that’s the case…for your sake, I’ll give him one last chance to apologize right now.”Brennan preferred having Harvey kneel before him rather than dying.He had been pursuing Kait for many, many years. His adoration that stemmed during his early years had turned into possessiveness.Kait did not care what would happen to her. She only wanted Harvey to live.She stared at Harvey with a pleading look.“Harvey…”“Stop being so stubborn!”“Let my senior help you for once!”“If you don’t even want that, I’ll just die with you!”Kait immediately walked forward and stood next to Harvey to fight against Lebron, despite Brennan’s protests.Brennan’s face twisted in displeasure. He could see Kait’s sincerity toward Harvey.The n
“That’s right! Harvey is my official disciple!”“Naturally, that also makes him my master’s follower!”“I know that your aim is unparalleled, Lebron. But you should know of my master’s capabilities too.”“I hope you’ll pay my master some respect.”“Of course, Harvey should also explain himself for disrespecting you and Prince Jean.”“How about this? I’ll make him grovel in front of you. Send Prince Jean the video, and we’ll both go our merry way!”“Is there a problem?”Brennan stomped forward, every step full of might, as if he had the final say for the situation.His little show of might made Lebron’s armed underlings wish that they had a child like Brennan.‘He’s too fierce!’‘How can he speak like that to Lebron?!’Soon after, Harvey returned from the backyard.Brennan narrowed his eyes at Harvey and exclaimed haughtily, “Harvey! I already took care of everything for you!”“Grovel in front of Lebron now, and your life will be spared!”“No need to thank me, this is only
Slap!Lebron was getting impatient. Annoyed, he strode forward and swung his palm.“Aaagh!”The high and mighty Brennan was sent flying with just one slap from Lebron.Brennan tried to get back up, but Lebron was quick and gave Brennan another slap on the face.Slap!Brennan was sent flying across the room once more. When he collapsed to the ground, blood gushed out of his mouth, along with a few teeth.His heart was filled with grief and resentment. He screamed, “Lebron…!”Bang!Lebron raised the gun and shot right next to Brennan. He hissed coldly, “Keep yapping, and I’ll kill you!”Brennan, who was close to exploding, was forced to swallow his words.Brennan knew that Lebron would do what he said. If Brennan kept spouting nonsense, Lebron would surely turn him into a corpse!“A quiet and peaceful world. How nice.”“Right, Harvey?”Lebron made a gesture signalling his men to capture Kait alive as he turned to look calmly at Harvey.The two had already fought before. Le
Brennan was scornful of a kept man like Harvey.When Brennan saw Harvey crossing his arms and backing away as if the latter would simply watch the fight, Brennan was even more disappointed in Harvey.He could not fathom why Rachel and Kait would even look up to this kept man!It would be so much better if they were with him instead!Brennan’s heart was filled with jealousy, admiration, and hatred; all at the same time.Lebron looked at Rachel, then sighed.“No wonder. I was wondering why a foreigner would dare to constantly provoke Prince Jean.”“Trashing Prince Jean’s place.”“Stealing his woman.”“Even going out of his way to go against Justin and Angelina!”“You were being ordered by Rachel all along!”Lebron felt like he understood everything.Rachel was supporting Harvey in secret.She pretended to be crippled to rise to power, causing Longmen’s Mordu branch to fall further into chaos.Recently, Rachel had formed an alliance with Aiden. If he were to be in power as w
Clang, clang, clang!Rachel’s movements were as quick as lightning.Lebron’s close-quarter combat was decent as well. The two firearms he was holding were used as close-range weapons to stop Rachel’s barrage of attacks.The sounds of weapons colliding echoed everywhere, and sparks would fly out occasionally. It was truly a remarkable sight.Safe to say, these two were extraordinary fighters. As expected from Mordu’s well-known characters.“Kill them!”Rachel’s attacks were proven to be ineffective. She shook her left sleeve, revealing another hidden blade, and then pounced forward.The two blades were attacking as one. It was truly a terrifying sight.Lebron kept moving forward, pulling the triggers of his firearms in extremely close quarters.Bang, bang, bang!Rachel’s expression changed once more as the bullets knocked her back. Even though she could barely block them, the force forced her to sway left and right.Harvey crossed his arms nonchalantly as he watched Rachel fi
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
