“You b*stard!“How dare you speak to Manager York like that?!”A man in a green shirt walked forward with a cold smirk on his face.“I’ll smack your mouth wide open!“I’m not worthy, you say?”Manager York took a step forward and calmly waved his hand, signaling his men to step back.Then, he crossed his arms as he glared at Harvey York.“I’m the manager of the Yorks of Hong Kong,” said Manager York slowly.“I’m the previous lord and Grandma York’s most trusted subordinate!”Harvey let out a chuckle. “I didn’t expect a mere servant could be this arrogant…” said Harvey, smiling warmly.“Though, I do want to ask!“What did I do for you to demand me to kneel?”Queenie York wanted to say something after seeing Harvey go against Manager York like that, but she immediately gave up after seeing his attitude…She understood her brother very well.Harvey was miffed.“What did you do?“Don’t you understand?”Manager York furiously stomped on the ground!Cracks were forming al
Harvey York calmly looked at Manager York and the others before he said, “I might have the same surname, but that doesn’t mean I’m a part of you people.“Your higher-ups mean nothing to me.“As for Grandma York…“Her words are absolute to you…“But, they don’t mean sh*t to me.“If you want to play pretend, just do it within the family.“Stop embarrassing yourself in public!”“Ignorant kid!” a man in a green shirt yelled while pointing at Harvey.“How dare you insult Grandma York?!“You’re finished!“God can’t save you now!“I’ll break your f*cking limbs!“I’ll make you understand what happens when you defy Grandma York!“You…”Slap!Before the man could even finish his words, Harvey already took a step forward and sent him flying off with a slap.Everyone went dead silent after seeing such a horrifying sight.The stewards under Manager York’s command had immense statuses in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas…They represented the authority of the Yorks of Hong Kong and the
Harvey York showed a calm look on his face while he spoke in a playful tone.Then, he brought out some tissues and started wiping his hands arrogantly.Manager York’s eyes were frantically twitching at this very moment.When he finally came to his senses, he furiously stomped his feet to the ground and yelled, “How dare you?!“Harvey York!“You arrogant b*stard!“You have the guts to hit the stewards of the family?!“These are Grandma York’s men here!“Do you even care about the Yorks of Hong Kong?!“Does Grandma York even matter to you?!”Harvey merely let out a chuckle.“Are you blind?“Didn’t you see them come at me first?“Disrespecting superiors is a sin for the Yorks of Hong Kong!“As the lord’s eminent guest, my status is absolute!“You can’t even figure that out as the manager of the family, and yet you’re here rambling to me about rules?”His gaze was as cold as ice then.“Or are you saying that you made up all those rules?“When it’s good for you, you’ll tal
“If it weren’t for Dean Cobb himself, what could you even do against Miyata Shinosuke?!“If it weren’t for the Sentries of York, what could you even do against Akio Yashiro?!“You thought you were strong, but you only got lucky!“You don’t seem to know the true extent of my power either!“And yet you dare challenge me?!“Didn’t you know that I was trained by Andy York himself?!“You think I’m just an old man showing off with these people here?“You’re wrong!“Dead wrong!”Manager York took a step forward before releasing his aura.A gust of wind blew all over the place, picking up countless fallen leaves in the process. Serious looks could be seen on everyone’s faces when they saw the sight.They could clearly feel just how strong Manager York was.“I’m giving you one last chance, Harvey York!“Kneel!“Accept your punishment!“Grovel in front of Grandma York and plead guilty!“When you’re done, get your *ss out of Hong Kong and never come back!“If you don’t, I’ll brea
Harvey York completely ignored the man while curiously looking at the mountain path.Right as Manager York passed out, a Toyota Century, that had been parked there for some time, had its rear door opened all of a sudden.A petite skinny old man could be seen coming out of the car.His hair was casually flowing behind him when he wore a discolored robe.He was emotionless as he steadily trod forward.“Master Jacknife!”The men in green shirts instantly slammed their knees on the ground after seeing the old man.He was Grandma York’s best expert, after all.‘Jacknife!’Harvey took a good look at the man while his interest piqued.Legends said that Jacknife was a God of War himself. Judging from the man’s attitude, he did seem quite terrifying already.Jacknife’s gaze locked onto Harvey when he slowly walked closer without a change in expression. It was as if he was just taking a stroll outside.Queenie York, who was standing behind Harvey, instinctively stepped in front while
“Excuse me.”Harvey York smiled before we casually picked up a sword on the ground.“Jacknife, right?“My knees are a little stiff. I can’t kneel like this.“And I don’t think I’m an ant either.“So, why don’t I send you off instead?”“Send me off?”A playful look was showing on Jacknife’s face.“I have to admit. This is my first time seeing someone this arrogant in front of me after so many years.“Anyway, it’s only natural. After all, you don’t even care about Grandma York in the first place.Jacknife then slowly pulled out the sword on his waist.“Three minutes.“Judging from your strength, three minutes should be enough for me to deal with you.“When I’m done with you…“I’ll have to ask for Grandma York’s forgiveness.“After all, you lived for another twelve hours.“This is my fault!”“Three minutes? That’s too long.Harvey chuckled.“Make it one.“I’ll have my morning tea after that.”“You ignorant fool!”Jacknife’s expression was as cold as ice after hearing
“You’re pretty good, Kid. You must be quite outstanding amongst the younger generation.“It’s a shame that you’re still not trained enough!A confident smile was showing on Jacknife’s face at that moment.“You probably could’ve defeated me if given enough time…“But now that you’re here, you have no choice but to die!”Jacknife lightly cracked his neck to revitalize himself so he could go all out.Harvey York simply shrugged.“Capable people don’t talk too much. You seem pretty talkative, so you must be pretty useless yourself.”Harvey was still quite impressed by Jacknife’s skills…But since he had no sense of right and wrong, his heart was considered to be somewhat impure.In Harvey’s eyes, people like that would not be too impressive even if they were a God of War.It was only a matter of time before they got crushed.Swish!Jacknife’s expression changed slightly. He did not even pay his respect to Harvey, who was being way more arrogant than him at this moment.He swa
“Not bad. Pretty scummy,” Harvey York said while calmly shaking his hand.He had no more respect for the so-called expert any longer.Jacknife seemed indifferent, as if he had no care for his pride.“You wouldn’t get it,” exclaimed Jacknife coldly.“People like us are executioners, tools, shadows of our masters.“I will sacrifice everything just to deal with my enemies if that’s what the master wants.“There is only winning and losing. Pride and justice don’t exist in a life-or-death situation. Do you understand me?”“I didn’t need to understand this before. And I don’t have to understand this now either,” replied Harvey calmly.“After all, you and I are two very different people.”“If you don’t even have your own beliefs, then what kind of God of War are you?”Jacknife chuckled coldly without saying another word. He raised his sword once more, unleashing the cold aura of the deadly blade throughout the place.Swoosh!He took a step forward and swung his sword with terrifyi
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
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
