Tack tack tack!Harvey casually sent out a text while he moved forward. He came to the morgue that was located at the end of the hallway.There were two inspectors of Hong Kong Police Station standing at the doorway. They knew who Harvey was, so they nodded before letting Harvey inside.Leslie had put her hair up while wearing white medical gloves inside the morgue, showing her sleek neckline. When Harvey got closer, she was in the midst of carefully inspecting the wound on Naoto’s throat. Since she had all of her attention on Naoto’s body, she didn’t even realize that she was showing a lot of skin on her chest.Harvey calmed himself down before moving forward.“Leslie, why are you doing the coroners’ job for them? How are they supposed to react when they find out?”Leslie stopped what she was doing and glanced at Harvey. The simple gaze was filled with all the charm in the world.“An autopsy report has already been released. We’ve gathered all the evidence at the crime scene to
“Mr. York is my friend, Doctor. Please make an exception for him.”“Make an exception? I can’t do such a thing!”The forensic scientist scoffed coldly. After seeing the badge on Leslie’s chest, she froze slightly.“So you’re Ms. Clarke. But even so, you can’t start breaking the rules here! Itt’s fine if you want to let Mr. York in here, but he has to register for his entry first.”Harvey narrowed his eyes slightly before smiling warmly at the forensic scientist.“No problem. If that’s the case, I’ll head there right now. Where can I find the registration room?”The forensic scientist walked out of the door and pointed Harvey to the registration room.“It’s right there. There’s a sign outside. A doctor named Shaun Sorell will be in charge of registration. Just go look for him.”“Thanks, Doctor.”Harvey nodded before heading toward the empty hallway.After seeing Harvey leave, the forensic scientist then shifted her gaze toward the two inspectors.“Ow!”The forensic scientist
“Rest assured. I won’t make it hard for you. Young Lord York already warned us about it. Even though your family has already joined forces with Harvey, for Young Lord York’s sake, we can only take you hostage at most. We won’t hurt you one bit. That’s why you better cooperate with me. Don’t try to resist. If not, I’m sorry if I accidentally leave a scratch on your pretty face!”Rumiko calmly pulled out a dagger. She wanted to take Leslie down before using the chance to threaten Harvey.Swoosh!Right at this moment, a person rolled off Naoto’s body cart before stabbing Rumiko right in her stomach.Splat!Blood violently spurted out of Rumiko’s mouth before she instinctively moved backward. There was no time for her to even react to the situation. She never thought that there would be another person in the room other than Leslie and her.It was too late to regret her decision. She tried to run out of the morgue since there was no time for her to question Leslie.Slap!Another per
“That’s why I decided to send Toby a text. A sly old fox like him surely knows what to do in this situation. When you came here as a fake forensic scientist, I didn’t know if you were the killer or not, but I still kept a close eye on you. The rest is history.”Harvey seemed extremely casual about the whole situation.“No one tried to catch you off guard. You were just too stupid. You get me?”“You…”Rumiko was shocked. She didn’t think that Harvey saw through her well-laid plan from the start.Everything she did was nothing more than a circus show!“D*mn you!”Even though she was being looked down on, she didn’t back down at all. Enraged, she gritted her teeth tightly.“Not only did you kill my brother, but you also crippled me. Let me tell you something. My family will chase you down to the ends of the earth! Kill me now if you dare! If you don’t, I’ll bring an army to dispose of you next time! My family doesn’t tolerate humiliation! Come on! Kill me! Kill me right now!”Har
In the evening, at the Grand Hotel.The place was named the Grand Hotel, but it was in fact the only funeral parlor of Hong Kong. The place provided food, shelter, along with other services. Many villas were located there as well, primarily used to accommodate the dignitaries.After Naoto’s autopsy report was released, he was immediately sent here to occupy a spot in the corner of the courtyard.The courtyard was serene. The environment was truly a pleasing sight.After Naoto’s body was sent here, the entire family had been staying at the same place. Other than Maki and his two children, he also brought every single elite of the family over. Clearly, he was not going to rest until he brought justice for his dead son.Seven o’clock at night.A black Maybach quietly showed up in front of the courtyard, facing the mourning hall with white lanterns decorating the place. A few Briewood Gang elites walked out after the car doors opened. A grim young lady came out soon after.Even thou
Makoto’s tone was cold and distant. He caressed the longsword in front of him with his right hand.“This time, no matter how powerful the people standing behind him may be—no matter who he is and what he’s capable of, we’ll make sure that he gives us a fair statement! Harvey must die! The Takei family and the Shinkage Way will not let a hero spill his blood in vain!”Naturally, in Makoto’s eyes, Naoto was a hero.After hearing his words, the Islanders, who were kneeling on both sides of the mourning hall, had righteous and fierce expressions on their faces. Quite a lot of them were even wearing headbands with the word “revenge” on them. They seemed like they would not stop until Harvey was annihilated once and for all.Carol’s expression didn’t change after seeing the brimming hatred the Islanders had for Harvey. Deep down, she was elated. Not only was the Briewood Gang completely disrespected, the Lion King was killed off as well. It was safe to say that they suffered great losses
Makoto grabbed the document instantly before carefully reading the contents.“Tell the don that the Takei family will be friends with the Briewood Gang for the rest of our lives! It’s a shame that my father is resting upstairs out of grief. If not, he would’ve shown up to thank you himself! After this whole thing is over, we’ll surely visit the Briewood Gang!”Carol nodded slightly. She then leaned into Makoto’s ear and whispered, “I’m not just representing the Briewood Gang. I’m also here to give my condolences on Young Lord York’s behalf. He said that he’s unable to come since he has business to attend to. If the Shinkage Way is willing to be friends with him… All of your business within Hong Kong and Las Vegas will be greenlit.”Makoto’s eyes lit up brightly after hearing Vince’s name.He gazed into Carol’s eyes deeply before replying, “Please send word back to Young Lord York. In our eyes, the Yorks of Hong Kong are the true owners of Hong Kong and Las Vegas. Young Lord York is
“Harvey?!”The Islanders immediately came to their senses after hearing that name.‘He’s the one that killed Naoto?!’The Islanders kneeling on the ground all sprung up before surrounding Harvey with longswords unsheathed from their waists. At that moment, the blades were all aimed at his throat.“Harvey York!”Makoto walked up steadily while glaring at Harvey coldly.“You killed my brother! How dare you crash into my brother’s mourning hall!? Not only did you ram into my men, but you also humiliated my father! You will pay with your life! You think us mighty Islanders are just cowards?! Toby Clarke himself won’t even dare do anything if I were to slice you in half!”Makoto was boiling with anger. He never thought that Harvey would just show up on his own like that. This was truly humiliating for him. At this point, Harvey was plainly disrespecting the Islanders.The Islanders screamed furiously, feeling disgraced. They wanted to chop Harvey into pieces badly.“You’ve crossed
"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
