Reina Lee instantly regained her courage after seeing Paula Baker standing by her side.She covered her face while walking toward Paula before pointing at Harvey York and the others.“It’s them, Director! Not only did they use our operating room, they even did it before doing any sort of diagnosis! They broke the rules!“I told them to leave, but they even said no before they hit me!“They’re completely disrespecting us!”Paula was angry after hearing that someone dared to break her hospital’s rules and not cough up the money.“Call security! Tell them that someone’s causing trouble here!“We’re not done with this!”Paula arrogantly walked toward Harvey and the others before derisively looking down on them.She could not care less about people like them in the first place.She got word that Mandy Zimmer was beaten up before she got here. Nobody even called the police.What kind of status would someone like that even have if they had no courage to call the cops after being be
“And what if I say no?” asked Harvey York calmly.“No?Paula Baker coldly chuckled.“Of course, you can say no!” she replied with a bossy tone.“But if you keep on disrespecting me…“Then don’t blame me for what happens next.“But don’t you worry! I’m a civilized woman! I wouldn’t just hit whoever I please!“I’d probably just send all of you to the psychiatric ward for the rest of your lives!”Clearly, that was how Paula did things.The people who dared to oppose her were all sent to the ward.Their fate would be way worse than being sent behind bars.Reina Lee and the others were showing derisive smirks after hearing Paula’s words. They were all filled with glee at this moment.It was as if they were insulting Harvey for being this ignorant.‘He finally knows that lower-class people like him have no right to show off in the Fraternity Hospital!’Xynthia Zimmer was boiling with anger.“You people really are lawless…” she exclaimed.Slap!Paula stepped forward and slapp
At this moment, Harvey York’s gaze was just disdainful.Paula Baker was completely enraged as she pointed at Harvey with her pale and tender finger.“Go! Get him right now!” she exclaimed.“Cripple every single one of them here!“I’ll take responsibility for whatever happens!”Thirty-four trained security guards surrounded Harvey and the others while chuckling coldly.“Aaah! They’re going to hit us!”Lilian Yates hid under Mandy Zimmer’s sickbed out of fear.Rudolph and the others were showing horrible expressions on their faces. They had been respected wherever they went. They had never needed to deal with something like this at all.“Be careful, Harvey!” Mandy exclaimed with a weak tone.Xynthia’s face had completely lost color. She did not expect that even the people in the hospital would be this arrogant.“What do we do, Brother-In-Law…?” she could not help but ask.Reina Lee scoffed.“What do you do?“What else can you do at this point?“You’re finished!”“Yeah! Yo
Slap slap slap!A series of slaps could be heard before the security guards were all sent flying after feeling sharp pains on their cheeks.In just ten seconds, all thirty-four security guards of the Fraternity Hospital lay on the ground, paralyzed. They were all twitching uncontrollably while white foam came out of their mouths. They had no strength even to stand back up then.Harvey York calmly glanced at Paula Baker.“Your security guards are pretty useless!” he exclaimed.“You can’t win against me like this.”“You…“You’re insane!Paula frantically stepped back. She could not help but scream after being utterly embarrassed by the sight.“This is a lawful world! How dare you say something like this?!“Do you have a death wish or something?!“Call the cops, Reina Lee! Tell them to send someone over!“Tell them that someone’s causing trouble here!“I don’t care if you’re good at fighting! There’s no way you’d lay your hands on the police anyway!”Paula showed an arrogant
“Your good days are over. Tell the people behind you that the Fraternity Hospital is going bankrupt.”Harvey York’s calm words were powerful.Paula Baker, Reina Lee, and the nurses coldly scoffed.They had been working in the hospital for a long time. Obviously, they had seen many people who would spout nonsense after being taken advantage of by the staff here.It was a shame that the Fraternity Hospital had a solid background. Nobody would be able to surprise them at this point.Every single person they went up against was either a bluffing small fry or a useless person relying on someone else’s power.In their eyes, Harvey was more or less the same.Paula let out a cold chuckle.“Oh? Where did you learn all that from?“Did you just look it up on your phone?“People who don’t know might even think that you’re the first-in-command of the Ministry of Health or something!“Who do you think you are?“Do you know just how deep the waters are here?“We can drown you in our spit
“Come! Take them away! We’ll punish them right here if they resist!” exclaimed Captain Jose Williams.Harvey York glanced at Captain Williams curiously and said, “You’re from the Flutwell Police Station, right?“Why aren’t you investigating the matter now that you’re here?“You’re just going to arrest whoever you want?“Have you ever thought of the consequences of doing that?”Captain Williams coldly chuckled.“I’m the captain here, b*stard! I don’t need you to lecture me!“You were the one who broke the law! As an enforcer of the law, of course I’d have to arrest you!“I’ll shoot you right now if you keep on yapping!”Captain Williams raised his tone while showing an enraged look.He extended his hand to slap Harvey in the face so he could flaunt his authority.“What? You’re planning to hit me?” asked Harvey calmly while dialing a number on his phone.“Why don’t you take this call and think this through first?”“You…”Captain Williams was about to lash out, but he hesita
Bright red palm prints could be seen on Jose Williams’ cheeks.His entire body trembled uncontrollably. He wanted to shoot Harvey York down so badly.“I’m sorry, Sir York!” he exclaimed.He had no other choice at this moment.He could not even compare himself to Ansel Torres!How would he even go against Harvey in a place like this?“Come.”Harvey hooked his finger in front of Jose. He had no intention of letting him go.“Tell me. How much does Paula pay you every month?”Jose trembled.“A… A thousand and four hundred dollars…”Slap!Harvey slapped Jose in the face once again.“Are you really that cheap?!“She bought you off for that spare change?!“A thousand and four hundred dollars?!“You’re embarrassing the entire police force!”Slap slap slap!Harvey slapped Jose around a couple more times.“You even dare talk to me about the law when you’re out here taking bribes?“Come! Please tell me what the law means to you!“Come on!”Jose tilted his head down while his
Reina Lee and the others were thrilled after seeing the man’s appearance.“Young Master Torres!” they screamed.The man raised Reina’s chin before kicking Jose Williams to the ground.“Useless filth! You have no right even to serve me!”Jose felt ashamed.He had been taking advantage of people wherever he went. A thousand and four hundred dollars would also go into his pocket every month.But he was utterly useless when he was the most needed. He had no power to go against anyone.Though, he did not leave immediately. He went to the side to see which side was stronger. That way, he would have an idea of who to join.“Let me tell you something, b*stard! Young Master Torres here is Elder Torres’ nephew!“He’s also Ansel Torres and Nelson Torres’ cousin!“Brady Torres himself!Paula felt extremely confident after seeing her greatest support here.She pointed at Harvey with her nose before she coldly scoffed.“Young Master Torres is also the biggest shareholder of the Fraterni
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
