“Elijah!”Carol Parker was shaken after seeing Elijah York being sent flying. She instantly rushed forward to lift him up.She brought Elijah here so could take her revenge, but she did not expect that things would end up this way.“B*stard!“How dare you hit me?!” yelled Elijah while he stumbled off the ground.He had never been this humiliated in his entire life.Not only did Harvey York slap him in the face, but his pride and dignity were also being tarnished as well.Elijah furiously screamed before picking up the nunchucks from the ground and rushing forward.Slap!Harvey calmly swung the back of his palm across his face once again.Elijah screamed in pain as he was sent flying. His face looked extremely wretched the moment he landed on the ground again.“Young Master York!”Carol’s eyes twitched frantically when she saw what had happened. It was such a horrible sight.Elijah was showing a wretched look as he gritted his teeth.Both sides of his face had a red palm p
The arrow had no apparent glow, but a faint smell of gunpowder could be smelled from it.Harvey York slightly changed his expression before kicking the arrow straight into the fountain at the entrance.A small explosion could be heard. The arrow’s destructive power was obviously weakened in water.If it were not for Harvey’s reflexes, he would have been blown up to smithereens in an instant.Harvey was showing a scornful expression at that moment.Not only was Elijah York carrying hidden weapons all around him, but he also did not care for his surroundings when he shot all those things at Harvey.Innocent bystanders could have been hurt, but he acted as if it did not even matter.Harvey stepped forward and stomped Elijah to the ground before he could raise his hand again.“I can let you off the hook for being stupid enough to be used as someone’s tool to kill me…“But not only are you this vicious at such a young age, but you also don’t care if you hurt the innocents around yo
Harvey glanced at the woman, poker-faced and seemingly devoid of emotion.“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that Elijah was trying to kill me.”The woman puffed up her chest righteously before scoffing coldly at Harvey.“You’re an adult! Why would you split hairs with a child?!”“Where’s your chivalry?!”“Even if he’s in the wrong…”“Even if he did something bad…”“He’s still just a kid! Can’t you forgive him?!”“Why go out of your way to make a big fuss out of things?!”“You’re shameless!”“I’m sure you’ve fought since you were little!”“You’ve caused a great deal of trouble too, I bet!”“Elijah’s an educated man!”“Besides, nobody got hurt in the end! Right?”“Rather, he must be in a lot of shock right now!”“If we’re to blame someone, it’s you!” the woman said with a cold expression.Elijah laughed coldly when he saw someone stand up for him.“Let me go already, Harvey.”“If you don’t, I’ll get my senior to beat you up until your last breath!”Harvey sm
Slap!Harvey leaned down before slapping Elijah in the face.A wail of pain could be heard after the loud slap. Blood splattered all over the ground alongside two of Elijah’s teeth. “Sacred martial art training ground?”“The Yorks of Hong Kong?”“This is the reason you’re acting all high and mighty?”“If that’s the case, then let me tell you something. None of this means anything to me.”“Since you said he’s just a kid, I’ll treat him like one.”“And since you won’t teach your own child, I’ll teach him for you!”Harvey then slapped Elijah on the face again when he was done talking. Elijah was so dazed from the hit that he couldn’t even say a single word or focus his gaze.Julian rushed all the way here after finding out about the incident. He wanted to say something after seeing the chaos brewing before him, but he chose to remain silent in the end.He knew full well how Harvey worked. It would be meaningless for him to go against Harvey.“You b*stard!”As Elijah screamed
After dealing with Jacknife, disrespecting Grandma York, and trampling on Elijah from the second house, and finally getting involved with the Council of Myth…Harvey wondered if he would be met with retribution sooner or later.Grandma York and the second house of the family would stop at nothing to kill him.After reporting the situation to Marcel, Harvey began taking a few people with him whenever he went out to ensure his safety.It had already been a few days since the incident, but nothing happened in the city at all.It seemed as if Harvey had reached his peak, and nobody dared to cross him.Yet whenever something is unusual, there’s usually a bad reason for it.In the end, Harvey didn’t pay too much mind to it.He would occasionally show up at Maria Hospital to have a talk with Akio.After some haggling, Akio finally showed some worthwhile evidence.There was proof of the Islanders being involved with the incident ten years ago.To top it off, they were also involved
“As for my mother, it’s been a good few years since she attended an event like this because of what happened ten years ago.”“Since the truth of the incident has been uncovered, her sickness is finally cured.”“She'll show up for sure.”Queenie sighed.“But if we look at it from her perspective, she will stop at nothing to keep Vince away from our side since the Islanders were the ones responsible for my brother’s death.”“There’ll be an all-out war today…”Harvey sighed as well. Since Selena could deal with the situation on her own, this meant she had finally let go of what happened ten years ago.As Queenie had mentioned, there would be an all-out war.Queenie was right to grab some food beforehand. There would definitely be no time to eat later on.After finishing the food, the two then grabbed a bottle of soda each and took a big gulp from it.Queenie stared at the laptop for a while before she was reminded of something.“Right! There’s something odd.”“Grandma York wan
“Since that’s the case, then he’ll surely go against us.”“And after losing the third house’s support, Vince will definitely try to keep the second house on his side.”“Even if Elijah does nothing, Vince will get revenge for Elijah.”“He’s trying to get Elijah and the second house on his side, after all.”“Elijah initially wanted to get the family’s underworld forces to work for him.”“He provoked you for Carol.”“In any case, things aren’t going to end just like that. Be careful.”Queenie naturally understood Elijah’s modus operandi, which was why she decided to warn Harvey in advance.Often, enemies who show themselves out in the open are easy to deal with. The same couldn’t be said for the ones who hide in the shadows.“Elijah’s not interested in being the lord?”“He’s willing to support Vince?”Harvey smirked at Queenie’s words.“You don’t really believe that, do you?”“Surely the head house doesn’t.”“If I’m guessing correctly, the second Vince shows any signs of wea
Elijah strutted toward Harvey with a prideful grin.“What? Are you going to break my other arm after ramming into my damn car?!”“Come on! Try it!”“I bet you’re just some f*cking coward!”Elijah tried to grab Harvey’s hand as he spoke.Harvey instinctively waved his hand before grabbing Elijah’s other arm.“Piss off. Don’t look for trouble.”“That’s exactly what I’m trying to do!”Elijah laughed coldly. Without warning, he slammed his body to the ground. He then gave himself a few slaps on the face, causing blood to seep out of his orifices.“How dare you?!” he screamed loudly after he was done.“You have the audacity to lay a hand on me?!”“I’m from the Yorks of Hong Kong!”“Save me!”“Everyone! Please get justice for me!”Elijah used all his might to scream, attracting quite a lot of guests’ attention.Queenie couldn’t help but frown after seeing what had happened. She knew Elijah was going to be hard to deal with, but she didn’t think he could be this shameless.He
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
