The champion calmly hooked his finger at Davian, taunting the latter.His cold and confident attitude had everyone completely shocked.The women who were huge fans of Davian started to look at the champion with infatuated gazes.Davian, who looked like an inexperienced fighter, trembled as he clutched the sword in his hand. His murderous intent was blatantly apparent.“Go ahead, Davian!”The champion then took a step forward. Suddenly, a loud bang could be heard.A spherical wave of air formed in the ring and blasted forward.The judge was a pretty good fighter himself, but he was on the verge of passing out as soon as he got hit by the airwave.Lydia and the others, who were acting high and mighty before, were all scared witless by what had just happened. The color on their faces vanished completely.They didn’t think a true expert would be this terrifying.Even Ezra couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He didn’t expect the champion to hide his true strength so well.If it we
It seemed this was the main event that had ended that evening.Ezra took a deep breath. He then looked at Harvey with a profound gaze.So far, everything was in order so far.If Davian successfully killed Harvey and became the new head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement, Ezra would be rewarded with ten million dollars. He would be able to enjoy his riches from abroad and stay out of Flutwell’s disputes.Ezra narrowed his eyes; he was patiently waiting for the moment Harvey would grow agitated and lose his temper from Lydia’s constant provocation.The judge stepped forward when Ezra gave him the cue. After the medical staff carried the champion away, he exclaimed, “Anyone else?!”“If nobody else is challenging Davian…”“He will be the victor of this tournament!”“Even the person with the Law Enforcement Badge will not be acknowledged if they don’t participate in the fight!”“That’s right!”“That’s how it should be!”“Only the victor of the tournament should become the head of Law E
“Why does it matter to you whether I take the position as the head of Law Enforcement or not? Why are you so agitated right now?”A woman in neat clothing suddenly came forward and looked down at Harvey.“You’re Harvey, right?”“You’re trying to reclaim your position as the head of Law Enforcement, aren’t you?”“Well, Vice Head Bauer told me to tell you something!”“He said that you’re no match against Davian!”“And that you should leave right now!”“And if Vice Head Bauer sees you, he’ll kill you on the spot!”“You hear that?! Vice Head Bauer’s willing to let you off the hook right now despite everything you’ve done to him!”“Are you still planning to send yourself to your death?!”Harvey only smiled.“Tell Vice Head Bauer that his provocation tactics are starting to lose their effect on me.”“Do you think someone like Davian can make me fight?”“He’s not even worthy.”“Since every single one of you wants me in there so badly, I think I should head back to bed now.”“I’
“I didn’t think you’d be too chicken to get in the ring.”“Oh? Do I look like a person who’s too scared to fight you?” Harvey replied with a lazy tone.“I’ve heard about you. You relied on the Nanyang God of War, Dean Cobb, to injure the previous head of Law Enforcement before showing up. You even crippled him!”“And now, you’re clinging to Kayden and that woman with you to show off!”“I have to admit…”“You’re pretty cunning. You have the talent. You’re pretty shameless, too.”“You tried to look for an excuse to leave because you know you’re no match against me.”“But it’s a shame! You went against someone that you never should’ve gone against in the first place.”“The thirteenth young master gave me the order to end your life right right here, right now!”A cold and disdainful look could be seen on Davian’s face.“But since you’re so shameless, I’ll let you off the hook if you beg for mercy and hand over the Law Enforcement Badge.”“I’ll give you thirty seconds to think ab
“Well?! Tell me!”“What should you be doing now for me to let you go?!”Harvey slapped Davian again, sending the latter flying.Being the top talent and the victor of the tournament meant absolutely nothing at this moment.Harvey never stopped slapping Davian, even when the entire crowd was watching. They were completely shocked to see the top talent’s face turning as swollen as a pig’s.Even Lydia froze upon seeing such a horrible sight.Davian was the top talent!He beat the champion with just a single slash!His swordsmanship may as well be unparalleled!And yet, he was completely useless in front of Harvey.Ezra’s eyes were twitching frantically at the sight.He was instantly reminded of the time he was slapped in the face that fateful afternoon.He could feel every slap Harvey gave Davian.Slap!Davian was sent flying one more time before finally smashing right into the ring.After struggling for a while, he spat out some blood before he stumbled off the ground.Ha
Looking at Harvey, who was calmly standing in the middle of the ring with his arms crossed…And Davian, who was kneeling with his back straight…The crowd went wild.The disciples felt like they were in a surreal dream.Harvey was able to take down Davian, the victor of the tournament. He was also the man with the Law Enforcement Badge, as well as the same person acknowledged by the master of Longmen.Since that was the case, his position as the head of Law Enforcement would be solidified.Lydia was dumbstruck. She glared at Harvey; she wanted to say something, but she couldn’t utter a single word.The people behind her, who had been ridiculing Harvey nonstop, hung their heads low. Their eyes were twitching. They were desperate to get out of the situation as soon as they could.The short-haired woman felt a tide of sorrow surging within her heart.She started to regret not clinging to Harvey.If she did that earlier, she would’ve been sharing the same honor Harvey was basked
No matter how resentful Ezra felt, he could only stare right into Harvey’s eyes and tremble.“Pleased…to see you, Head York!”He then hurriedly made a gesture.His trusted subordinates, who were unhappy about the decision, had no choice but to kneel on one leg after seeing Ezra’s actions.“Head York!”The disciples of Law Enforcement froze when they looked at Ezra and Davian kneeling in front of Harvey, who was holding the Law Enforcement Badge.They all slammed their knees to the ground immediately after.“Head York!”Everything was put to an end!…After dealing with Longmen’s Law Enforcement’s martial arts tournament, Harvey decided to let Rachel handle the clean-up.With help from Kayden’s men to take control of the Law Enforcement, as well Rachel’s strength and her trusted subordinates, everything was dealt with nicely.After heading back to the Hatchet Gang’s base camp, Harvey checked his phone to see if Lilian and Mandy had been released.After all, Harvey had both
After hanging up, Harvey took Xynthia to the Flutwell Police Station immediately.After going through the procedures to get Lilian and Mandy out of jail, Harvey provided his whereabouts last night to the police and evidence supporting his claim.After all, Ezra and Dylan were targeted because of him.To prevent the enemy from getting the police’s support, Harvey simply decided to defend himself first.Logan, Flutwell Police Station’s second-in-command, was confused but had no reason to decline Harvey’s testimony, especially when Harvey came here himself.When everything was all dealt with, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.While Harvey was waiting at the front door for Lilian and Mandy, Rachel and a huge group of people showed up.Other than lawyers, assistants, and bodyguards, there were a few familiar disciples of Longmen whom Rachel picked from Longmen’s Law Enforcement.Rachel was indeed quite talented. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to restructu
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
