Bohdi clapped his hands. Immediately after, his companions stood up and glared coldly at Kayden.The bodyguards weren’t hiding their murderous intent any longer.Kayden completely ignored those people and walked toward Eli.“Young Master Burton, right?” he said while squinting.“Sir York got me here to tell you something.”“He doesn’t want a statement tomorrow. He wants it now.”“Sir York? Who’s that?”Eli was confused.“Oh? Aren’t you Head Balmer? I was wondering why an idiot is running around the place!”“It’s been a while! I didn’t know you became the kept man’s subordinate!”“You’re one of the leaders of the Gang of Six! Your gang’s well-renowned!”“Why are you working for somebody else?”“I guess Hatchet Gang is only good for showing off at this point…”Eli blew out a puff of smoke; he was looking down on Kayden completely.The women there were giggling with their mouths covered. They firmly believed Kayden was looking for his death.“Enough talk, Eli.”Kayden chan
Kayden slapped Eli’s hand away, his gaze ice. Eli revealed a deep smile, planning to cross the line even further.“How about this? Let’s not talk about Harvey for now.”“After all, Young Master Garcia wants him dead. Us small fries don’t have the right to get involved.”“At most, I can promise you that Harvey will have one of his arms left to beg for food on the streets when Young Master Garcia wants to break all of his limbs. I’ll make sure to plead for that, at least.”“But you’ll have to return the favor.”“I really like Xynthia Zimmer!”“I miss her so much that I just can’t sleep!”“You’re a good person, Head Balmer.”“Why don’t you send her straight to my bed and release me from my pain?”Eli blew a puff of smoke on Kayden’s face before bursting out laughing.“Don’t you worry. I’ll thank you properly after that.”“I’ll have to return the favor somehow, right?”Bohdi and the others scoffed. They believed Kayden wouldn’t dare go against Eli.Kayden’s expression worse
“Sir York!”Eli frowned upon seeing the sight before him.Kayden walked toward Harvey respectfully, and then bowed at Harvey with his hands flattened neatly at the sides. Eli’s heart skipped a beat.He kept insulting Kayden, but he knew full well that Kayden was still one of Flutwell’s gang leaders.Kayden belonged to the Gang of Six!Even if Kayden belonged to the worst gang out of the six, seeing him acting so respectful toward Harvey was enough to show Harvey’s strength.However, Eli didn’t understand what was so special about the kept man who needed help from the cops.Eli didn’t pay too much mind to it, though.After all, Harvey’s fate had already been sealed the moment he called the cops to clean up Flutwell Hotel.Frankie would stop at nothing to kill him.“You should just let me handle this, Sir York,” Kayden said respectfully.“You didn’t have to come on your own.”“Since Young Master Burton laid his hands on my wife and hospitalized her for a few whole weeks…”
Harvey smiled politely.“There’s something you may not know, Young Master Burton.”“In my eyes, you’re no different than the stray dogs running around outside.”Bohdi’s face turned fierce and he screamed, “What did you say, you b*stard?!”“Say it again and I’ll kill you! I dare you!”Eli waved his hand to calm Bohdi and the others.He sized up Harvey, and scoffed.“Come, Sir York. I’m right here! Do it!”“Do it for your wife!”“Can you?”“Or rather, are you even worthy?!”Eli’s face bore utter disdain. In his eyes, not only did Harvey lack the courage to do something like this, but Harvey also didn’t have the right for it.Harvey wouldn’t dare, nor was he even worthy.The beautiful women glared at Harvey with contempt.‘This b*stard can only play dirty and call the cops! What useless filth!’‘How can someone like this even dream of going against Young Master Burton?’Bam!Harvey wasted no time grabbing a beer bottle and slamming it on Eli’s head.It was a quick and po
Bam!Harvey calmly picked up another beer bottle before slamming it on Eli’s head again without restraint.“Since you won’t give me a statement, I’ll come get one myself.”“This one’s for my wife!”Bam!“This one’s for my sister-in-law!”Bam!“This one’s for my mother-in-law!”Harvey shattered three whole bottles in just an instant. Eli’s head was completely covered in blood and glass shards as he screamed in pain.The beautiful girls had never seen that much blood in their entire lives; they screamed fearfully as they took a few steps back, their expressions horrible.“So what if I hit you?”Harvey tapped Eli’s shoulder.“Nolan’s no different than a stray dog to me. Aaron kneeled in front of me as well…”“Who do you think you are?”“You think you’re that powerful? You’re just a damn worm.”Eli gritted his teeth, filled with unbridled rage.“You insult us noble people, and you still won’t stop hitting me! Do you realize the consequences of your own actions?!”Naturally
A bald young man in a robe was following behind the middle-aged man. He strutted into the box pompously, as if he was the king of the world.An imposing aura could be felt from the middle-aged man as he walked in steadily with his companions.In the box, Harvey was sipping his tea with his legs crossed when he saw the middle-aged man.“Who are you?”“You don’t look like Frankie at all…”“How dare you?!”The middle-aged man took off his glasses and cleaned them with some tissues.“You must be Harvey.”His eyes were cold.‘A skinny young man. Even though his aura is quite special, he’s still just an ordinary person…’‘Eli’s completely useless at this point. He couldn't deal with one man even when he brought so many allies with him. He even had to ask for my help.’‘This son of mine is no good for me…’Harvey didn’t react to the man’s questions, and instead looked at the man curiously. He could tell that this man belonged to the Burton family after a few quick glances.Eli ma
Donnie Burton’s words were gentle and structured.He was on another level than Eli Burton, who had been acting all high and mighty.That said, Eli’s tone was quite unpleasant.Boris slammed the table and screamed, “Do you hear that?!“Are you going to cripple yourself?! Or are you letting me do it for you?!“I’m asking for a fee if you need my help!”After hearing those words, the beautiful women beside Donnie looked down on Harvey York.‘Other than kneeling and begging for mercy, what else can a loser like that do when he’s going against Donnie?’“You want me to cripple myself?“So you can stand up for your son?Harvey let out a chuckle with a gentle look on his face.“But I’m not even done with your baby boy attempting to force himself on my sister-in-law…“He even beat up my wife.“And yet you’re still standing up for your son?“How can you not distinguish right from wrong?“Or are you saying that all Kshatriyas are just shameless like you?”Harvey was showing a prof
Donnie Burton chuckled coldly with his arms spread out.“I’m not trying to ruffle your feathers, but there are some people you shouldn’t be provoking in the first place.”Donnie believed that he was incredibly patient.If it were not for him turning over a new leaf, he would still be using violence.He would have slapped Harvey York across his face at this moment.“Two things.Harvey remained indifferent.“Number one. I’ll cripple Eli Burton no matter what. Nobody can protect him. Mark my words.“Number two. Since it’s the parent’s fault for not teaching their own child, you should kneel for him instead.“If not, I wouldn’t mind razing your entire family to the damn ground.“I’ll personally remove you from Flutwell.”Donnie’s face twitched before he let out an awkward scoff.“You want to remove us from Flutwell?“Since you’re so confident, I think I’d like to see you try!”The beautiful women were chuckling derisively after hearing those words.‘How dare he say something
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
