Justin Walker let out a sigh of relief after seeing Harvey York nod, then quietly said, “Harvey. Even though the conditions aren’t met yet, I’ve already shown you my sincerity.“I hope that you can do your best to cure Angelina John.“Please don’t tell me that you’ll wait until tomorrow. When that day comes, she might just stay vegetative her entire life.”Harvey chuckled.“Not bad, at least I can see that you’re sincere.“Don’t worry. I always keep my word.”He signaled others to leave the room for the time being and walked toward Angelina.Harvey took out a scalpel while looking at Angelina, who was as stiff as a rock, then cut right into her wrist.A stream of blood filled with cold air flew out, cooling down the sickroom quite a bit.Along with the sight, Angelina could be seen softening up rapidly.Harvey tapped on her head lightly moments after, causing her to fall asleep.A few minutes later, Harvey then walked out of the sickroom nonchalantly.Justin immediately rus
Harvey York then playfully replied, “Deputy Branch Leader Walker, you’ve been in this line of work for so many years now. How come you still don't have any sense?“Never have the heart to harm others...“But always keep your guard up against others!“Don’t you really have any idea why I’m being this cautious around you?”Justin Walker lightly chuckled.“Rest assured, Sir York. I’ll do my best to cooperate for the sake of my wife.”Harvey just smiled. He brought Kait Walker with him and then left.Justin’s eyes lit up as soon as Harvey was gone, then he dialed a number on his phone.“Prince Jean, I’ll be giving Kait a statement tomorrow at the Walker family club.“At the same time, I’ll announce your marriage to her!“Right, the man named Harvey can easily defeat Chief Leonard Bray. I won’t be able to do much about him.“I hope that you’ll come up with a plan against him, Prince.“It’s best that we deal with him permanently before Kait gets her statement.”“I think the sigh
Ten o’clock, Lujiazui, inside a large meeting room at the Walker Corporation building.Every single higher-up of the company was there. Every one of them had authority, status and was very outspoken.When Kait Walker, in a black suit, walked in with Harvey, who was calm and collected, everyone glared at them with judgemental eyes.Those gazes were filled with disdain, doubt, and rebellion, but none showed obedience in their eyes as Harvey wanted.Naturally, in their eyes, Kait’s sudden rise to power had ruined those people’s benefits along with their businesses up to this point.That was why those higher-ups were instinctively opposing her.Out of all those people, a man wearing an Armani suit, while dangling his cigar on his lips with a look of an unscrupulous playboy, was the most disgruntled.Inside the spacious meeting room, he was selfishly puffing smoke everywhere.Kait slightly frowned without saying anything, then walked toward the main seat and turned on the microphone
Harvey York squinted while looking at the man with an Armani suit.At the same time, he casually flipped through the documents in his hands.The man was extremely unscrupulous and did not pay any respect toward Harvey at all. He clearly had an extraordinary background.Harvey found information about the man soon after. He was Ronald John, Angelina John’s cousin and a collateral relative of the Golden Sands’ John family.The most important thing was that he was the former executive CEO.With Harvey taking the position would mean that Ronald was demoted back to an ordinary higher-up.Before Harvey even spoke, Kait Walker coldly gazed toward Ronald and said, “Ronald John, please think before you speak.“You know exactly how I took this position. You won’t be able to defame me with just a few words.“Besides, as the CEO, I have the authority to appoint someone I trust as the executive CEO.“If you’re dissatisfied, complain to the board of directors about it!“Another thing, watch
Everything happened because Kait Walker dismissed Ronald John from his position as executive CEO.Kait would have to take the blame if the company’s stocks were to plummet. She might even have to step down because of that incident as well!It was safe to say that those were elaborate traps set up by Justin Walker and Angelina John for her.Kait’s incapability would be blamed if she were to be fired on her first day in the position, and it wouldn’t be Justin’s fault for not keeping his promise!After understanding the situation, the higher-ups didn’t even bother standing up for Kait.They were all playfully looking at her, seeing how she would solve the problem in the end!After seeing Kait frown, Ronald then nonchalantly sat back on his chair and crossed his legs.“CEO Walker, let’s not talk about whether I should be reinstated as the executive CEO or not.“You should at least apologize to all the higher-ups and me here, right?“Because of you, everyone’s efforts for the past
“An explanation? I’ll give you an explanation right now.”Harvey York walked forward calmly, then swung his palm against Ronald John’s face again.Slap!“A mere higher-up dares to threaten both the CEO and the executive CEO?!”Slap!“Where did you get all this courage from?!”Slap!“CEO Walker already said earlier that my will is hers as well. I’m hitting you right now in her place!”Slap!“As the previous executive CEO, not only are you not doing your job properly and contributing to the company after getting such a high salary. You’re even threatening the company with your contract?”Slap!“The company gave you your paycheck for you to come up with ideas, not for you to rebel!”After a few slaps across his face, Ronald was severely bruised, but he was still screaming in anger then.“You bastard! How dare you hit me?!“It’s obviously because of you and Kait that Star Chaebol turned down the offer to work with us!“Both of you are responsible for this!”“We’re responsib
Looking at Ronald John, who was terrified and enraged at the same time, Harvey York threw a document on the table and calmly said, “So, what if it’s Star Chaebol? It’s just a business establishment from Country J anyway!“Is the power of attorney really hard to get from them? Do you really need the CEO or executive CEO to deal with this matter?“Any one of you higher-ups should be able to seal the deal!“If not, are you even worthy of getting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of salary and dividends?“Is the company paying you to slack off?”Harvey pointed at the resignation letters and coldly exclaimed, “If any of you think that I’m being too arrogant and illogical…“Or you think that your capabilities are limited and cannot complete the task. Then it’s simple: get out.“The people that get out right now will not miss out on this year’s pay and dividends.”The room was dead silent after hearing Harvey’s words. Even Ronald, who was yapping quite a lot in the beginning, tu
After hearing Harvey York’s words, everyone instantly targeted their rage toward Ronald John.The higher-ups thought of their past experiences when Ronald would get involved in their business for no reason, but his pay and dividends were still a few times more than everybody else’s...At this moment, all the higher-ups were showing cold expressions on their faces.‘What right does Ronald have to get such a high pay without any sort of capability or talent?’‘He’s been sucking our blood this whole time, and now he wants us to help him take back his position?’‘Does he think that we’re idiots?’In just a blink of an eye, the higher-ups were filled with a common hatred.Ronald burst out in anger.He had no idea how Harvey got the documents, but it was such a deadly blow for him after the records were exposed.“Mr. John, you’re the one in charge of Star Chaebol’s power of attorney this whole time!”“Now that the deal’s flopped, you even dare to shift the blame toward CEO Walker?!
"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
