After hearing Zina Hamilton’s explanation, Harvey York was a little dumbfounded.It could only be said that the daughter of the King of Gambling was undoubtedly a person who was not afraid to love or hate.She hated Harvey because of the affairs concerning the Hamiltons. She actually thought about getting in contact with the Islanders to deal with him.Unfortunately, she was too naïve, and she might have already been targeted the moment she met those Islanders.However, this could also be considered a twist of fate for them. The previously poor relationship could have been salvaged a little from this incident.This was very important for Harvey to get the Hamiltons’ support in the future.Harvey said indifferently while he thought of this, “Ms. Hamilton, since you are so straightforward about finding someone to deal with me, I’ll turn a blind eye to what had transpired.“However, I hope nothing like this will happen again in the future.“It won’t happen again. I promise.” Zina
The gangster’s mouth trembled after seeing Carol Parker’s look. If he had not made everything clear at that moment, he would not have had a chance to get out of that place alive.He took a deep breath before he quietly exclaimed, “Here’s how it went. The kid who ambushed us took Young Master Takei’s woman away, then started showing off, saying that he’s waiting for us in box number one!“He also said that we’ll go after him if we think we have the strength to do so!“Mr. Kamishita and the others were captured as well! His waist was utterly ruined! It doesn’t look so good!“M’lady, it’s not that we’re useless. That kid’s just too arrogant!“He’s not showing us any respect at all!”All the fighters from Briewood Gang looked around after hearing those words and saw fear in each others’ eyes.Kowloon City had been the underworld’s territory since ancient times. Bad people would lurk around every single corner of the city.The Briewood Gang had the say in this territory. Who else wo
“Who are we dealing with here?“Someone from the Yorks of Hong Kong?“Or the Hamilton family?“Perhaps the Nanyang Gang?”Carol Parker calmly listed the few forces that could challenge the Briewood Gang. If she were up against any of those people, she would need to deal with the situation carefully.But if it was anyone else, Carol was confident that she could crush her opposition no matter what kind of background her enemies had.The gangster’s eyes lit up after pondering about the situation.“M’lady. The person didn’t seem like he was from Hong Kong or Las Vegas. He must be from Country H!“But, he must have some immense background to act arrogantly on our turf!“After all, weak people wouldn’t dare to do something like that!“He’s from Country H?”Carol chuckled while showing disdain in her eyes.“No matter how strong he is or how powerful his background, he has no authority here in Hong Kong or Las Vegas!“He’ll kneel when he’s on our turf…“No matter who he is!“Eve
Black Dog blew a puff of smoke after walking up front while glaring at Harvey York, who was having his tea.Kamishita was lying on the ground like a dead dog in front of Harvey, occasionally twitching his body.After Harvey finished his tea, he raised his head and glanced at Black Dog.“You’re Briewood Gang’s lackey?” he calmly asked.“Oh! So, you know who I am?” Black Dog exclaimed with a peculiar tone while showing a wretched smile.“Since you know we’re from the Briewood Gang, why would you even bother showing off in front of us then?!“You must have a pretty extraordinary background!“You must be pretty powerful too, I bet!“Come. Come. Tell me about the forces and background behind you. See if you manage to scare me off!“If you can’t do that, you won’t even get the chance to walk out of here alive!”Black Dog made a gesture in the middle of his speech. The fighters of the Briewood Gang walked forward while faintly chuckling.Obviously, they believed that Harvey was pow
The fighters from Briewood Gang were utterly shocked after seeing the sight. They suddenly became extremely sluggish.Some beautiful women even instinctively gave themselves slaps in their faces to ensure they were not dreaming!‘Someone snapped the high and mighty Hydra Badge in half?’At this moment, countless people were on the verge of going crazy.“You f*cker! Who do you think you are?!”“Do you know what you just did?!”“Do you have a death wish or something?!”When Black Dog came to his senses, cold sweats were trickling down his back as he burst out in anger.He just saw someone snap the badge in half right in front of him. If Harvey York were to roam free that day, he would be immediately shot to death if he returned to Carol Parker.“I have a death wish?”Harvey calmly chuckled while full of interest.“I think you’re the one with a death wish here.“You’re trying to make me kneel with some stupid badge?“Are you people from the Briewood Gang ignorant or just plai
Bang!Edwin Mendoza took a step forward and stepped right on Black Dog’s head.“Did Sir York say you can leave?” exclaimed Edwin calmly.Clearly, in Edwin’s eyes, those people would have to suffer great losses for going against Harvey York.Nobody would get to come and go as they pleased here.Black Dog kept struggling on the ground while his head was firmly planted on the ground. He tried raising his head to glare at Harvey while screaming at him.“How dare you hurt me, Kid?!“Don’t you realize that I’m from the Briewood Gang?!“Don’t you know that I’m Carol Parker’s most trusted subordinate?!“Have you ever thought about the consequences for disrespecting and hurting me like this?!”Harvey stood up and walked toward Black Dog while showing interest.“Are you dumb? Can you even think for a second?“Why are you still showing off at this point?“I already crippled so many of your people, yet you still question me?“What? If I don’t kill you off right now, I’ll be disrespec
The dozen Briewood Gang elite stepped out while squinting at Harvey York, who was sipping his tea.If looks could kill, Harvey would have died a thousand times by then.Carol Parker seemed indifferent.With the wave of her hand, the Briewood Gang elites immediately stopped their movements.Judging from this, it was enough to see Carol’s reputation in the Briewood Gang and the control she had over her subordinates.Carol took a few steps forward and picked up both halves of the Hydra Badge.After playing with the badge around in her hands, she then squinted at Harvey before showing a faint smile.“You’re the one who snapped the Hydra Badge in half?”Carol’s smile was quite alluring, but a murderous intent was hidden deep inside her beauty.“That’s right,” replied Harvey concisely.“This must be a fake, right? It didn’t even take a lot for it to snap in half. You should be thanking me for identifying its authenticity!“How about this? Just grovel in front of me three times. No
“It’s a shame that your question isn’t a part of my problem.”Harvey York casually sipped his tea as he also handed Edwin Mendoza a teacup.“I just want to know how you’ll give me a statement for drugging my friend.“Are you going to kneel? Or do you want to die instead?”“Kneel?“Die?”Carol Parker showed a sweet smile while looking down on Harvey and speaking in a playful tone.“Are you mistaken, Kid?“Drugging your friend?“ It is your greatest honor for Young Master Takei even to be interested in your woman!“This woman here’s utterly blessed! Do you understand?!“You should be thanking Young Master Takei for giving her a chance to serve him! You should grovel as thanks showing your sincerity!“This is the right way to do it!“You shouldn’t act as if you have a death wish. Do you understand?”Carol looked around her surroundings after she was done talking.“Right. Where’s that woman?“Bring her here. After I break your limbs, I’ll have her serve Young Master Takei r
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
