“Five limbs? So, you want his c*ck snapped as well?”A playful look leaked out of Carol Parker’s face.“Don’t burn your bridges that early, Zina Hamilton.“Stop pretending like you’re the victim here! Do you actually think you’re not at fault?!“You think I’m scared of the Hamiltons just because you’re being aggressive?!“What can you even gain from going against me?!”Carol’s expression was as cold as ice at this moment.“I’ll give you one minute!”Zina completely ignored Carol’s animosity.“You do it yourselves, or my people will do it for you!” exclaimed Zina coldly.Carol’s face immediately darkened. She did not expect that Zina would not even pay her any respect.“Do you know who Young Master Takei is?! He’s the top talent of the Shinkage Way!” said Carol.“Do you even realize what the Shinkage Way is?!“They’re one of the Six Schools of Martial Arts from the Island Nations. Their status is on par with the five hidden families of Country H!“You want to cripple Young
At this moment, Carol Parker came back to her senses. Her eyes frantically twitched while looking at such a horrible sight.“What’s the meaning of this, Zina Hamilton?!” she exclaimed.“Are you not going to change your mind?!“Do you want a fight?!“Do you really want us to go our separate ways?!”Zina remained composed.“Old Man Zummo, cripple Naoto Takei,” said Zina coldly.Old Man Zummo nodded slightly and waved his hand. The fighters of the Hamiltons immediately pounced forward after.Both sides were at a deadlock, ready to fight at any moment.“Stop!”When a fight was about to break loose, a scream could be heard from the entrance.“Stop right now!”Someone took off the safety of a firearm and shot toward the sky.The crowd was utterly shocked.A group of people in traditional clothing strutted inside the box.The leading man was extremely handsome.Harvey squinted at the man before taking his phone out to see the picture of the Victoria Harbor fireworks.This was
“Brother York!”Zina Hamilton seemed quite close to Vince York.“It’s not that I want to cause trouble, but that shameless bastard, Naoto Takei, drugged me!” exclaimed Zina while biting her lip.“Carol Parker even took his side!“Is it wrong for me to ask for justice?”Carol’s expression frantically changed moments before she bowed.“Young Lord York, this is all just a misunderstanding.“To show our sincerity, Young Master Takei and I are willing to apologize and compensate for her losses but the lady even tried to castrate Young Master Takei using her family’s influence!“You should know that this is such a cruel way to treat a man, Young Lord York!“That’s why I…”“Alright. Both of you, shut up.”Vince waved his hand while emanating his pressuring aura with a calm look on his face.“Someone already informed me what happened.“Both you and Naoto are in the wrong, Carol.“If you taint Zina’s innocence, you’ll incite war between the three families and cause Hong Kong and L
Zina Hamilton’s face turned pale. She was filled with utter disbelief when looking at Vince York’s eyes. She did not expect that the man she had known since childhood would treat her this way.Zina gritted her teeth angrily.“I have an issue!“The bar, fifteen million dollars, or an apology doesn’t mean anything to me!“My family doesn’t need anything like this!“Besides, have you thought about the things that would happen to me if I wasn’t lucky enough?!“I only have one demand, which is to cripple Naoto’s every single limb!”“I want his dick chopped off too!”Zina almost broke a tooth with how hard she was gritting her teeth then.The look on her face was enough to make the men around feel a draft under their pants.“Zina!”Vince frowned slightly.“Are you not going to respect even my wishes?!“Besides, this isn’t a place for you to act rashly!“Even if Naoto is wrong, he shouldn’t be punished this way!“Have you thought of the consequences of him being castrated?!“I
“Ever since we were little, you told me that you were going to make the Yorks from Hong Kong the top hidden family out of the five when we just met!“You said that you were going to become the only top talent of this generation!“You were going to rise to the peak and defeat every enemy in your path!“And after you grow up, you’d dominate the younger generation of Hong Kong and Las Vegas and steal the limelight!“I always regarded you as my elder brother—my hero!“But you won’t even stand up for me when I’m being taken advantage of by some Islander!“You even let them threaten me as they please!“Why did I even see you as my hero when I was a kid?!“You’re not my brother, Vince! You’re just a poser!“You only take advantage of the weak, and hide away like a wuss when you bump into some Islanders!“You embarrass me!“People still call you the legendary Head Coach when you look like this?!“Piss off!”Zina was as disappointed as when she admired Vince ever since she was a chi
Vince glanced at Naoto and the others calmly.Fifteen million dollars was just a number to him. It wasn’t a lot of money, and he wasn’t particularly interested in it either…But he admired Naoto’s attitude.He knew how to repay his favors. For Vince, this was someone worth being allies with.Besides, as someone from one of Six Schools of Martial Arts in the Island Nations, Naoto was quite the capable person. This was the main reason why Vince was willing to sell him the favor.That was why Vince didn’t reject his money. He considered it as a bridge between the two’s friendship.Vince wasn’t stupid either. After glancing at Naoto filled with interest, he asked, “Since you’re being so generous, I’m sure you must have other demands.”“I heard that Country H values etiquette highly. I see it now.”Naoto had a charming expression on his face.“Don’t you worry, Sir York. I won’t make it too hard for you.”“My term is simple: leave this man here for me.”“After all, I need him to g
After seeing Vince leave, Carol circled around Harvey while chuckling with her arms crossed.“Did you learn your lesson today, Sir York?”“Do you understand now that you shouldn’t just stand up for anyone in a place like Hong Kong or Las Vegas?”“Have you thought about the consequences?”Carol had an arrogant look on her face then.She didn’t think that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel.She thought that she would be completely dominated by Harvey and disrespected by the Hamilton family then.But she didn’t know that Vince would pay this much respect toward her and Naoto.It was safe to say that the outsider, Harvey, was just really unlucky. He could’ve survived if he only bumped into Carol…But he had gotten involved with Vince instead.Even though Carol couldn’t see how Harvey posed a threat to Vince...She was a smart woman, so she could tell by Vince’s attitude…That he wanted Harvey dead!Since Vince wanted this, Carol was more than happy to oblige.Des
Cries of pain could be heard then. Naoto’s entire body was twitching as white foam seeped out of his mouth. He seemed like he was in deep pain, as if someone had stabbed him through the heart.The arrogant, heinous, and brutal Naoto was in agony.He could only scream and tremble using the last of his strength. He couldn’t even beg for mercy.A sight like this was way worse than death.“Young Master Takei!”“What’s going on here?!”“Does that kid know witchcraft?!”Carol and the Islanders were frightened stiff after seeing Naoto’s state.Harvey only snapped his fingers before Naoto even fell to the ground.Was it merely a coincidence? Or was Harvey really that powerful?The discreet Elder of the Shinkage Way showed a horrible look on his face as if he thought of something. He then rushed toward Naoto and covered up his chest with his right hand.That person’s name was Ryuichi Furuta. He was an Outer Elder of the Shinkage Way, and Naoto’s personal bodyguard.He was also quite
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
