“You’re here, Mr. Kamino!“I didn’t want to disturb your rest…“But this b*stard here has been causing big trouble on our turf!Senior Miller showed a helpless look when he complained to Ai Kamino.“He even said you had no right to oppose him even if you were here!“You’re nothing to him!”Naturally, Senior Miller instinctively tried to fan the flames so that Ai would lash out at Harvey York.Slap!Even before he was done talking, Ai had already slapped him to the ground.Blood was trickling from the corners of Senior Miller’s mouth.He shivered for a moment before whispering, “I’m sorry, Mr. Kamino! I didn’t mean to cause all this!“I really didn’t!”Senior Miller did not know why Ai decided to slap him in the face. All he could do was crawl up from the ground and apologize.Slap!Ai sent Senior Miller flying with another slap on the face.Senior Miller gritted his teeth when he crawled up from the ground before he kneeled before Ai.“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!“I w
“How dare you, you b*stard?!”Senior Miller and the others were showing cold gazes when they saw Harvey York acting this arrogant in front of Ai Kamino. They were on the brink of lashing out at that moment.Ai waved his hand, telling those people to calm themselves down.Then, he ordered someone to bring a chair before he sat in front of Harvey with a lit cigar in his mouth.After taking a few puffs, Ai showed a warm smile.“Since you want your statement, young man…“Why don’t you tell me what you want instead?”Harvey glanced at Ai and replied calmly, “Fifty million dollars as a mental loss fee.“I want to know why there was a bullet in your prop firearm.“I want the people involved to cooperate with the investigation and be dealt with according to the law!“I want Mrs. Lee to apologize to Xynthia Zimmer and break her arms to show her sincerity!“I’ll only let you off the hook once everything’s done.”Harvey calmly took a sip of tea after, as if he did not realize how shoc
“And what if I refuse?”“Refuse?Ai Kamino scoffed.“Do you think you have the right to do that?“Don’t you realize what this place is?“This is Flutwell’s Film City, my turf.“Flutwell’s business alliance, Young Master Bauer, and the Golden Palace stand behind me!“Even if you’re from one of the five hidden families or the top ten families, you should consider before deciding to cross every single one of these people for such a trivial matter!“After all, it’s still easy to deal with the situation since it’s just between you and me.“But if you decide to let the cops ruin the business here…“Even I wouldn’t know what’ll happen next!“Usually, you wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility alone. If you’re not careful, the people behind you will also have to pay the price!“Sometimes, it’s better to leave each other an out for a better future.“You’re a smart young man. You should understand when to stop, right?’Then, Ai pointed at the check on the ground.“Pick up the
Ai Kamino calmly blew out a puff of smoke before it dispersed right in front of Harvey York soon after.Ai then showed a faint smile.Naturally, he was pretty content with his total control of the situation.Ai believed that Harvey was a slightly capable man, but he would still kneel before him and pick up the check.Harvey was not upset after having smoke blown toward his face.“Mr. Kamino, I’m not happy with your proposal at all,” said Harvey while holding his teacup.“I do hope that you can do what I requested immediately.“Nobody has the right to bargain with me.”“You’re still too young. There’s no need to be this stubborn,” replied Ai with a profound tone, smiling faintly.“You should know that harmony brings wealth.“Respect goes both ways.“If you pay me some respect, I can do the same to you, right?”Harvey merely smiled.“It’s a shame that your respect means absolutely nothing to me.“It won’t give me a fair statement.”“I already told you what I can offer,” re
After pondering the situation for a while, Ai Kamino quickly regained his composure.He was a local powerhouse backed up by the Golden Palace.It did not matter where Harvey York came from. He had no chance to go against Ai in a place like Flutwell.As for the police, Ansel Torres said they would only enforce the law, meaning that the police had remained neutral.Ai believed he could crush Harvey no matter what if that were actually the case.If he could not do it publicly, he would surely have other ways of getting what he wanted.The Capital Gang had three thousand men. It would not be hard for them to deal with an outsider, whether it was a young master or a prince.Without a second thought, Ai took another huff of his cigar to regain his calm.“Find me that b*stard’s address and tell Mrs. Lee that he was the one who loaded the bullet into the prop firearm,” said Ai calmly.“Tell her that he’s the main culprit of Larisa Lee’s situation.“Send word that everyone who support
Dillon Lee was disdainfully glaring at Kayden Balmer, Black Rose, and the others from the Hatchet Gang.He was from Longmen’s Flutwell branch, after all.Longmen was considered the king of the underworld.It was only natural for them to look down on the mob bosses.After getting the order to take down the suspect who hurt his junior, Dillon was surprised that the Hatchet Gang was also involved in the situation. That said, he brought his entire team here without a hint of fear.After all, Flutwell was Longmen’s main base.The daughter of Longmen’s Flutwell branch leader was also severely injured.Under those circumstances, Dillon had no other choice but to take down the suspect.Without a second thought, Dillon pointed at the crowd and coldly exclaimed, “I don’t care what relationship you have with the suspect!“I don’t care who’s supporting you people either!“I’m only here for one thing!“I want the suspect right now!“If he doesn’t comply, we’ll kill him here and carry hi
“Oh? Do you call this slander?“And I won’t get another chance after this?“Mr. Kamino informed us that you like to show off!“He’s not wrong at all! You’re really fooling yourself at this point!” exclaimed Dillon Lee with an odd tone.“Stop pretending already, kid!“Even if you’re the king, I’ll make you pay the price for hurting my junior!“Do it!”Dillon Lee was here with a mission.After getting word from Ai Kamino, Mrs. Lee issued the order to take down Harvey York. Whoever was able to bring him back would be heavily credited.That was why Dillon came as soon as he could after getting the mission.A dozen people in robes pounced forward simultaneously after hearing Dillon’s orders, trying to take Harvey back for his punishment.Slap slap slap!Harvey casually gestured to Kayden and the others to stay back before he casually threw a bunch of slaps forward.The air seemed motionless while he was moving around.In the very next moment, people were sent flying in waves.
“Oh really?“She’s this unreasonable?“Well then…Harvey York showed a calm expression.“So, where’s your respectable Mrs. Lee now?”Dillon Lee frantically twitched his eyes. At this point, he had no choice but to spill the beans.“She’s in Flutwell’s Shangri-La Hotel.“It’s Mrs. Lee’s birthday today.“I was planning to take you down as a present for her…”Dillon’s face worsened in an instant.He would not have done such a thing if he knew who was the man before him!What a joke!“The truth of her daughter’s injury isn’t even out yet.“She blamed an innocent young woman for it, yet she isn’t willing to give a statement about it…“How is she not ashamed of herself?Harvey calmly crossed his arms while walking outside.“If that’s the case, we’ll have to visit Mrs. Lee’s birthday banquet…”Dillon’s eyes frantically twitched after hearing Harvey’s words. He had no choice but to keep kneeling on the ground while he trembled uncontrollably. He would not even dare to say a si
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
