Mitchell was certain that no matter how strong Harvey was, he must’ve been completely spent after his battle with Miyata.Now would be the best time to deal with Harvey once and for all.If they missed the opportunity, there probably wouldn’t be another one.Daito, who was extremely fearful, forcefully calmed himself down.His gaze was filled with murderous intent as he glared at Harvey.“For the sake of the head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement, I won’t kill you if you give up right now!”“I’ll take you back to the Island Nations to stand trial!” “You might have your corpse intact when you die!”“But if you keep resisting, I guarantee that you won’t get out of here alive!”Daito felt that everything would be easier if Harvey just gave up.If Harvey was taken back to the Island Nations, he would be forced to make a confession admitting that he used shady tactics against Miyata.That way, Miyata’s failure would be Country H’s shame, and not the Island Nations’!After hearing Da
The man was wearing a robe from Nanyang and exuded an aura of unspeakable elegance.He crossed his arms and glared coldly at his surroundings.“Break one of your arms and then get out of here. If you do, I’ll spare your life,” he spat, his tone ice.He was none other than the Nanyang God of War, Dean Cobb!“Dean Cobb?!”Several guests from Hong Kong instinctively trembled after seeing the old man.‘The legendary Nanyang God of War?’‘Why is he here?’‘Judging from his appearance, he must’ve recovered his peak strength!’‘The invincible God of War of the southeast waters actually showed up here… I can’t believe it…!’Those who were familiar with him were in utter disbelief. They couldn’t believe their eyes.“Dean Cobb? The Nanyang God of War?”Mitchell laughed coldly, unruffled.“I remember now! You’re that cripple, aren’t you?”“How dare a mere cripple like you stand up for Harvey? You must have a death wish, don’t you?”“Yeah! An outsider like you has no right to be inv
Daito despised people from Nanyang with all his heart.While Dean had the title of God of War, Daito refused to believe such an old and worn-out man was anything special.However, Dean smiled gently.“It looks like after I went in hiding for ten whole years, everyone’s forgotten what the Nanyang God of War represents,” he remarked coolly.Booooom!Dean took a step forward. After a good night’s rest, he had regained his peak strength.In just a single moment, a powerful aura that was even more terrifying than the Sword Saint’s seeped out of his body.Cracks resembling haphazard spider webs instantly formed on the ground.Suffice to say, the sight was an extremely horrifying one.Many changed their expressions immediately after seeing what happened.There was a loud splash, and the onmyoji, who was floating in midair, coughed out blood the moment he felt the aura’s pressure. A second later, he passed out and smashed straight into the ground, not even getting the chance to fight
“I-I’m sorry, God of War!” Daito replied, frantic.“I’m sorry for offending you today! Please forgive me, for the sake of Shinkage Way!”“We’ll leave right now! Right now, yes!”Daito desperately tried to please Dean.Initially, he assumed that the crippled God of War was only fierce on the outside…But now that he was standing in front of Dean, he realized that Dean was on another level even amongst other Gods of War.Only Daito’s own father could be a match against Dean…Daito would be going against overwhelming odds if he fought against Dean. It would be a death wish.Daito was arrogant, but he wasn’t stupid. He wouldn’t do something so reckless.“Isn’t it a little too late to beg for forgiveness?”Dean scoffed coldly before taking a step forward.Crackle!Rocks on the ground flew forward in an instant. It was a nightmarish sight!Pew, pew, pew!The experts of Shinkage Way all dropped in the pool of blood. None of them had a chance to react to Dean’s attack.Scarlett
Slap!Dean walked forward and kicked Daito to the ground, looking aloof all the while. “Tell Akio that from now on, Sir York has my support!”“If he touches Sir York, he’s going against me!”“Got it?!”Cold sweat trickled down Daito’s head, drenching it. Frightened, he stumbled his way out.He knew full well that he was only alive because Dean needed a messenger.If he didn’t get out immediately, Dean might change his mind and end Daito’s life then and there.As for how to deal with Harvey, he would have to explain the entire situation to his father first.He believed that his father, Akio Yashiro, would definitely have the strength to reclaim their dignity.At the same time, he stole an opportunity to shoot Harvey a cold glare. The grudges he had for Harvey filled him with hatred.When the Islanders left, a huge group of people showed up at the entrance.Members of the Dragon Palace’s branch, the Nanyang Gang, and those from Hong Kong and Las Vegas’ Longmen branch were
“You think you can do whatever you want just because you’re from the Five Virtues Temple?!”“God is always watching you!”Scarlett’s expression grew even more horrible. Incensed, she began to scream.“At the end of the day, this is still none of your business!”“You’re a God of War, but you’re from Nanyang!”“Why’s an outsider like you even interfering with Country H’s matters?!”“I don’t care if you’re going to humiliate other people!” Dean hollered back.“I don’t care if you want to beat someone’s brains out, either!”“But if you try to frame and embarrass Harvey, I’ll definitely get myself involved!”“Are you going to meddle in my business to deal with Country H’s problem?!” Scarlett exclaimed, gritting her teeth.“Are you really going to go against the Five Virtues Temple and the entire country?!”“You overestimate yourself, Scarlett.”“People who conspire with outside forces to shame someone from the country have no right to represent the Five Virtues Temple, let alone
“How dare you, Harvey?!”“How dare you insult the Five Virtues Temple like that!”Scarlett was filled with rage. “You scurry around and use dirty tricks to win your battle! Do you think you’re strong because of that?!”“Do you think you’re invincible?!”“Come back when you beat the Island Nations’ God of War fair and square!”Harvey glanced at Scarlett and threw her a faint smile.“Are you a complete fool, Scarlett?”“Whose rule was it that I’m only allowed to fight head-on?”“Who was the one that said dodging isn’t a skill?”“If we go by what you said, then if I put this gun on one of their heads, they’re not allowed to dodge it! Right?”“If they did, it’d be considered witchcraft, right? And for some reason, this is a heinous tactic for you?!”“Are you insulting your own intelligence or the Islanders’ when you spout garbage like that?!”“As a representative of the Five Virtues Temple, how do you not understand that speed always wins against all forms of martial arts?”
Just you wait, Harvey! We’re not done here!”“Longmen’s Law Enforcement will strike back!”“When I report this to the Elder Group, we’ll make sure you pay for betraying your country!”The elites were ready to leave, acting all high and mighty despite their loss.Harvey narrowed his eyes at them, his gaze cold. He then took a step forward before appearing right in front of Mitchell. Without hesitation, Harvey swung his palm forward.Slap!Mitchell didn’t even have the time to react, and he wasn’t able to dodge the hit either. He was promptly sent flying, screaming in pain all the way.“Did I say that you can leave?”Harvey crossed his arms, indifferent. His face was cold.Mitchell’s face fluctuated between different emotions. Finally, he struggled back up, gritting his teeth in anger.“Who do you think you are, Harvey?!” he exclaimed furiously.“You think you can do as you please just because you have Dean’s support?!”“Let me tell you something!”“I’m letting you off the
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
