“You’re crossing the line, Harvey.”“Don’t forget one thing…”“This is Flutwell!”“This place belongs to the Bauer family! You can’t just cause trouble here as you please!”Elanor gave a cold look soon after.Many of her people unsheathed their daggers and took off the safeties of their firearms, their faces fierce. Just like Elanor said, this was Flutwell.Harvey was just an outsider.It didn’t matter what kind of achievements Harvey had…In these people’s eyes, he was still inferior compared to them.They believed that with just a single word from Elanor…They’d be able to turn Harvey into a minced meat without any hesitation.Even the dogs were constantly barking, as if they were about to rip Harvey and Mandy to shreds.Mandy’s face had lost a bit of color.She had experienced things like this a few times, but she was still afraid of it. She was a powerless woman, after all. This was only natural.Harvey, on the other hand, glanced calmly at his surroundings.“We’re
The people surrounding Harvey glared at him disdainfully.‘He talks big!’‘Now what?’‘All he can do is show off in front of a woman!’‘Just look for Jeff if you’re so impressive!’‘What a joke!’“A gift?”Harvey narrowed his eyes, but his face was expressionless. “Am I supposed to bring him flowers at his grave as well?”“He might get angry if I don’t!”Bam!Elanor kicked the coffee table in front of her.“How dare you insult Young Master Bauer, you b*stard!” she exclaimed furiously.“I’m insulting him?”Harvey chuckled before turning around.“Tell him I want my money tomorrow afternoon.”“If not, I’ll add ten percent interest every day.”“If he still doesn’t give the money back by then…”“I’ll make sure to put him in the grave!”Harvey then walked away while holding Mandy’s hand.Elanor chuckled coldly.“How dare you threaten Young Master Bauer! Let me tell you something! If you can walk out of this door alive, I’ll call you Daddy!”“Get him!”Eleanor’s bodygu
Mandy sighed.“But judging from Elanor’s attitude, she wouldn’t give up that easily.”“If she gets reckless and starts convincing Jeff to fight us…”“We’ll be in a lot of trouble, won’t we?”Naturally, Mandy understood Elanor’s behavior quite well.Harvey smiled.“The Bauer family is split three ways. Every single young master was chosen by the master himself.”“Naturally, they’re not ordinary people.”“Or rather, they’re definitely smart people.”“Of course, our tactics might be useful, but it might not make Jeff give in that easily.”Mandy froze.“So, do you mean…?”“We have to act fast, of course.” Harvey smiled.“But there’s no rush.”“We gave him three days.”“If he still doesn’t know how to choose…”“I’ll just teach him again.”…Harvey put the thought to the back of his head and focused on the Longmen Summit for the time being.Early in the following morning, Harvey showed up at the Flutwell Gymnasium for the provincial qualifiers.The event looked a lot mo
A man in a suit walked out soon after. He had a stubble, similar to someone from the Island Nations.He was a lot taller than the people there. A fierce and dominant aura could be felt on him.Harvey glanced curiously at the man. Then, he realized that the man looked quite similar to Larisa.He could tell that the man was none other than Bowen Lee, the branch leader of Longmen’s Flutwell branch.A few officers read out a bunch of nonsense before introducing the jury and examiners.After that, Bowen walked on stage and looked calmly in front of him.“Aside from the strength to walk the underworld…”“Everyone knows that the most important thing is to learn the Art of Killing from different schools and curses.”“The goal is to not teach you how to kill, but to have the strength to protect yourself when met with odd situations!”“That’s why this test will be a lot different than before!”“By my judgment, I have someone here who was cursed by something unknown!”“It’s why she’s i
Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing Bowen’s words.This was the Longmen Summit—it should be a place to brawl to one’s heart’s content.Why were they forced to treat someone, of all things?Even so, Bowen’s words made a lot of sense. Hence, nobody dared to refute him.Even Fisher couldn’t help but rub his head. He was unsure if he should try to talk Bowen out of this or remain silent.Kori, on the other hand, was filled with glee. Her eyes fell on Harvey immediately. She was certain Harvey would never be able to pass a test like this!Even if Harvey had been practicing martial arts when he was still in his mother’s womb, he wouldn’t be able to deal with a curse.After all, the underworld was an extremely dangerous place full of the unknown.Imagining Harvey embarrassing himself and getting disqualified, Kori felt exhilarated.“Right! Begin!”Bowen took a step back, his expression stern, and gestured to everyone to keep quiet.The first examinee was a short-haired woman.
At this very moment, Bowen was seething with anger.His impatience and love for his daughter had him completely infuriated.Right as Harvey was about to step out, Bowen let out a hollow laugh. “Every single one of you is a top talent of the Longmen Summit!”“Yet, none of you can do anything about this?!”“You’re all trash in my eyes!”“You won’t even know how you’d die if I send you all to the underworld!”“If you can’t even deal with such a simple problem, then why don’t you just die?!”The examinees’ expressions worsened after hearing Bowen’s words.They all came from extraordinary families, and they wanted to retaliate after Bowen called them trash…But after reminding themselves of Bowen’s identity, they had no choice but to sit back down and keep silent.On the one hand, they were intimidated by Bowen’s power and status…On the other hand, they had no power to save Larisa.Fisher wanted to say something, but he couldn’t utter a single word after seeing Bowen’s infuri
“Leave! You have no right to do anything to Larisa!”Harvey stared calmly at Bowen. Then, he nodded. “Fine. I won’t save her if you don’t let me.”“That said, I still need to take the test. Give me something else to do.”Bowen scoffed coldly.“You want another test?”“There’s no need for that!”“Every single one of you is useless, anyway! There’s no chance any of you will pass!”“From now on, every examinee of this batch will be disqualified!”“Leave! Every single one of you!”“Leave, and never come back!”Harvey’s gaze turned as cold as ice after hearing Bowen being this unreasonable.Gossip could be heard all over the place.Nobody could hear the conversation between Harvey and Bowen, but they heard Bowen loud and clear when he said that he was going to disqualify every single examinee in the hall.Fisher couldn’t hold his feelings back any longer. He stepped out.“It’s inappropriate for you to just disqualify Harvey like that, Branch Leader Lee.”“Besides, he seems
“Since Branch Leader Lee’s already made his decision, you should just leave!”“You’re already disqualified, anyway! Stop being so persistent!”“You’ll only waste everyone’s time!”The examiners started to up after hearing Bowen’s words.They looked as if they were trying to teach a young man a lesson.“Fine. If that’s the case…”“I’ll quit on my own volition!”Harvey’s gaze turned as cold as ice as soon as he saw the arrogance on Bowen and everyone else’s faces.“That said, Bowen…”“Let me tell you something.”“Her body is filled with evil energy because she entered a haunted house.”“And because she was shot by a prop firearm, she is now in deep shock, causing the evil energy to flow straight into her soul.”“Ordinary means won’t be able to save her.”“There are only three people in Country H who can save her.”“And in Flutwell, only I can do that.”“If not saved, she’ll have to live the rest of her life this way.”Harvey wiped his fingers with some tissues. Then, he t
"Not to mention, these are weapons that Grand City's top brass directly controls. If it isn't because I've taken control over Earth Hall recently, I wouldn't have been able to take these out," Clarion said with a sigh.Harvey nodded. "Looks like letting you control Earth Hall is one of my correct decisions after coming to Grand City."Then, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. "Clarion. Take your men and attack from the outer ring. Do your best to reach the destination and save our people."Clarion blinked. "And you?"Harvey said, "Always go for the head. A truly powerful elite must be keeping an eye on everything. If we don't eliminate him, our rescue will be destined to fail."Harvey slammed his foot on the ground before jumping into the air, his figure quickly disappearing into the horizon. He noticed that there were plenty of elites converging. This was Sky Plane's territory. No matter how many he killed, his enemies would most likely swarm him.If that was the case,
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
