Jordan Bowie was extremely fierce at this moment. If it were not for the few inspectors stopping him, he would have already stomped his way toward Harvey York.“You need to calm down, Mr. Bowie.Rachel Hardy took a step in front of Harvey.“I already provided the police with evidence.“Ezra Bauer and your son’s death is none of Sir York’s business.“They previously had a fight, but Sir York didn’t kill anyone.“The evidence from the crime scene and the surveillance footage provided can prove that.“Please don’t be unreasonable…”After hearing Rachel’s words, Lilian Yates screamed furiously while covering her face.“You little b*stard! Why do I have to suffer for your damn crimes?!”Lilian wanted to slap Harvey in the face so badly, but she was stopped by Mandy Zimmer.Jordan could not be bothered to listen to Rachel’s explanation at that time.“Rachel, right? Why don’t you shut the f*ck up?!” said Jordan with a gloomy look.“You think you have the right to speak here?!“Y
After hearing Jordan Bowie’s words, the fighters beside him nodded in unison.Just like what Jordan said, the Bowie family had been dominating Flutwell because of the Bauer family’s support.Even the people rarely went against Dylan Bowie.Other than an ignorant outsider like Harvey York, who would be stupid enough to lay their hands on Dylan?They would have been crazy if they did!After seeing Jordan’s crazed expression, Rachel Hardy froze before she exclaimed, “Not only are you being extremely unreasonable, you’re also planning to go against Sir York?”“That’s right!” replied Jordan with a cold smirk on his face.“You have the Hatchet Gang, Longmen’s Law Enforcement, and the Hearthstone Corporation, but so what?“Do you think our family’s weak or something?!”“That’s none of my business, but if you keep slandering Sir York and act arrogantly, I’ll have to stop you!”Mandy felt a little surprised after hearing Rachel’s words.‘When did he turn out like this?‘Yvonne Xavie
“Enough talk.Jordan Bowie pointed at Harvey York.“I’ll avenge my son, Harvey!“You can run, but you can’t run forever!”Harvey frowned. He could tell that Jordan was prepared to do anything.He wanted to send Jordan flying with a slap, but he held himself back since he was in the police station.“Well, you can try.Harvey seemed indifferent.“I’m only telling you this once. I won’t go against you for your son’s passing.“But if you keep messing around, I’ll have the entire Bowie family erased from Flutwell’s history!”Bam!As soon as Harvey stepped forward, countless cracks formed from the bottom of his feet.The floor paved with bluestone split open before the tiles turned to dust.“Wha…”Everyone was shocked.Jordan’s body trembled before dodging a shard flying straight at him.His face was still cut by it since he was a bit slow.Jordan’s expression instantly changed.There were a lot of expert martial artists in Flutwell, but Jordan had never seen anyone who cou
Jordan Bowie was confused.Since he was quite a brutal person, he pulled out an elegant-looking firearm from under the seat and kicked down the car door before taking his bodyguards and secretary with him.A crack was showing at the manor’s front gate. The smell of blood wafted from the inside.Jordan frowned before his expression changed.“Something’s wrong!“Take off the safeties of your firearms!“Go!”He kicked the door down before going inside. Weapons were scattered all over the ground with blood mixed splattered all over them.The door of the main hall was closed shut. Nobody could tell what was going on inside.Jordan was terribly anxious. He had a bad feeling about the situation.He furiously made a gesture before his people pointed their firearms straight at the main hall.“Who’s hiding around here?! Show yourself!“You’re late, Chief Bowie…”A calm voice echoed from the hall.Jordan let out a sigh of relief after hearing the voice.“Why are you in our manor, Y
On the next day, early in the morning. Harvey York was woken up by the ringing of his phone.When he picked up the phone, Rachel Hardy’s frantic voice could be heard from the other side.“This is bad, Sir York. The entire Bowie family was killed last night…”When Harvey showed up on the scene, people had already flooded the entire place.Other than the Bowie family’s relatives, many inspectors and disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement were also there.The entire city was in complete shock after such a big thing happened.It’s said that the upper social circle was enraged by the news. They accumulated millions of dollars as a reward for whoever could find the murderer.Rachel was standing amongst the crowd. It was not long since she came to Flutwell, but she had already started to blend in with the city’s upper social circle.She stood behind the crowd to avoid contact with anyone else and waited for Harvey’s arrival.Rachel walked forward as soon as she saw Harvey.“Sorry to
“How many people in Flutwell can do something like this?”“Not a lot,” Rachel Hardy promptly replied.“Other than the envoys of the Golden Palace, a few prominent figures of Longmen, and the young masters of the Bauer family…“Only a handful of people can do something like this.“Am I included in the list?”Rachel bitterly chuckled.“What do you think, Sir York?”“So, you’re saying that all the evidence points right toward me…”Harvey York merely smiled.“But, since they’re not conclusive enough, there’s no way to prove that I was the one who did it, right?”Rachel’s eyes twitched.“That is exactly why it’s troublesome, Sir York.“There’s no way to prove that we were the ones who did it, but we also can’t prove otherwise.“If we’re not careful today, we’ll surely have to take the blame for it.”Harvey squinted at the Bauer family before letting out a sigh.“Impressive move. They’d even sacrifice one of their pawns to kill me off…”Rachel looked in the same direction bef
“Everyone knows you have a grudge against Jordan Bowie!“You even threatened him at the police station yesterday!“Many people were there!“You thought he was too ruthless, so you decided to strike first!“That was why you killed his entire goddamn family!“And to humiliate him, you even forced him to kneel before you stabbed him!“You’re heinous!Mac Bauer was showing a righteous look.“Judging from this perspective, you are the murderer!“There’s no proof of that…“But, everyone has the same thought at this point!“You can’t run away from this!“If the law can’t take you down today, I’ll sentence you on behalf of the Bauer family!”The crowd was in an uproar when they stared at Harvey York, full of shock.The Bowie family’s friends and relatives were infuriated. The ones who trained in martial arts gritted their teeth in resentment. They wanted to skin Harvey alive so badly at this moment.Harvey calmly crossed his arms and glared at Mac.“Don’t try to spout any more
Mac Bauer squinted at Harvey York, as if he regained his courage before bursting out a laugh.“Do you hear that, Harvey?“My nephew actually has proof that you murdered the Bowie family!“You also have a motive!“What can you say to that?!”Harvey smiled faintly when he looked at Mac before squinting at August Bauer.“You have footage of this place?”“Why, of course!”August squinted back.He had read Harvey’s dossier before, so he knew just how troublesome Harvey was as an enemy.When he saw Harvey in person, he was shocked that such a young man would be this calm and collected.It was hard to imagine how a young man like this managed to deal with Davian Holt and rose to power.At the same time, Harvey’s various titles had made August a little resentful.‘What right does a man like this have to have such an immense status?’August believed that Harvey was the one who murdered his father-in-law’s family. August was able to inherit all of the family’s property because of t
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
