Harvey let out a small chuckle. Ai crossed his legs and took a puff of his cigar. “I didn’t think we’d meet again so soon.”“I was a little busy, so I wasn’t able to settle scores with you just yet.”“I didn’t think you’d send yourself to me all of a sudden.”“Have you been living too comfortably? Don’t you want to live anymore?”“Are you here for excitement? Or are you here to die?”Ai froze. Then, he waved his hand to stop Senior Miller and the others from lashing out.“You’re pretty cocky, young man,” he exclaimed coldly while glaring at Harvey.“Since you’ve disrespected Mrs. Lee, that means that you at least have some talent, strength, and the background for that.”“That said, you should know that you’re in Flutwell right now!”“This is the biggest city of Country H’s southwest region! Mordu, the Golden Sands, and Buckwood are on par with it!”“Other than the Golden Palace, the top ten families, and the four cornerstones, there are many other people that you should lea
“Don’t be too stubborn, Harvey York!“You’re still young! There are things that you still can’t handle!Ai Kamino blew out a puff of smoke before he sat up straight.“I admit that I have underestimated you.“But even if you have the Torres family with you, you have no right to do as you please!“For instance, you should be respecting me right now.“After all, you have no right to go against the person behind me.”Then, Ai snapped his fingers before his secretary walked over with a case.Ai opened the case and took out a business card before setting it right on Harvey’s coffee table.Clyde Osborne!There was nothing else on the card besides wild scribbles of the name!The calligraphy felt powerful yet elegant. An aura of invincibility and dominance could be felt just by merely looking at the card!“Clyde Osborne?”Harvey frowned. He was not familiar with the name.Ai showed a profound look on his face.“That’s right. Prince Osborne himself.“I visited his place before co
“Seems like you’re no ordinary person either. At least you have some experience.“You wouldn’t be able to guess that Prince Osborne is from one of the five hidden families if that weren’t the case.Ai Kamino nodded with pride and confidence, blatantly showing on his face.“Since you know what sort of person Prince Osborne is, I’m sure we’ll have a great talk.”Ai then took out a list before throwing it right before Harvey York.Other than Mrs. Lee’s compensation, Film City’s losses for the past few days were also written on the list, along with Senior Miller’s medical fees among other things. Every single thing was written in detail.“You’ll have to compensate for the amount listed here tenfold. Do you understand me?” said Ai while squinting at Harvey.Harvey merely shrugged before showing a smile on his face.“If I wasn’t looking closely, I really thought you were the one compensating my sister-in-law’s losses.“Heh!”Ai disdained Harvey’s sharp tongue. At this moment, he lo
At that moment, a dozen Longmen disciples were following Bowen Lee. It was a truly dominant and spectacular sight.Ai Kamino instinctively stood up as soon as he saw Bowen.He respectfully nodded before smiling coldly at Harvey York.“Speak of the devil.“You’re finished, kid.“Looks like Branch Leader Lee’s in a bad mood…“I don’t think I can help you at this point.“You’re on your own.”After hearing Ai’s words and Bowen’s gloomy expression, Senior Miller and the beautiful women were all looking at Harvey gleefully.‘All this guy does is show off!’‘Who knew that karma would bite back this quick?!’‘Not only is he going against Mr. Kamino, even Branch Leader Lee is here to trample all over him!’Under Ai’s exhilarated gaze, Bowen walked briskly toward Harvey before slamming his knees on the ground.The people behind him kneeled in unison with horrified expressions on their faces.Ai froze before instinctively gasping.“What are you doing, Branch Leader Lee?”Bowen com
Harvey York walked up and patted Ai Kamino’s face before he sighed.“Even Joseph Bauer couldn’t protect Mrs. Lee…“Even Longmen couldn’t keep Bowen Lee safe.“Then, what makes you think Clyde Osborne can enable you to flaunt your strength here?“I didn’t want to deal with you anymore, but I’ll indulge you if you insist on butting in.”Harvey then slowly tore the business card to pieces.The beautiful women were heartbroken, as if Harvey had committed a heinous crime.Ai’s expression also frantically changed.“How dare you tear Prince Osborne’s card, you b*stard?!“You have a death wish or something?!”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Ai’s face.“I’m not so sure about that…“But I know that you’re looking for yours right now.“Come.“Call the cops.Harvey’s word was enough to seal Ai’s face.“Ai Kamino tried to blackmail me for a hundred and fifty million dollars! Punish him according to the law!”***In just half an hour, Vivian Hall and her team took A
Ai Kamino immediately trotted toward Clyde Osborne before respectfully bowing.“Prince Osborne.”Clyde rinsed his mouth with the seventy-six thousand dollar Red Robe Tea before he said, “Do you think this is a scenic spot, Ai?”Those calm words were enough to astound Ai.He came here on the same morning, but then he showed up once again.This could only mean that Ai did not deal with the arrogant young man he had previously talked about.Not only that, but he also probably lost his reputation in the process.If not, he would not have shown up that quickly.Cold sweat was dripping down Ai’s entire body.“I’m sorry, Prince Osborne. I have tarnished your name. I couldn’t carry out my job properly,” he apologized quietly with his arms on the side.“I wanted to reclaim your reputation for what happened before. That was why I asked for your business card.“But that man tore the card apart and even sent all of us to jail.Ai would not dare lie to Clyde about a single thing.“Righ
After hearing Ai Kamino’s words, Clyde Osborne comfortably leaned on his seat while enjoying the service of two beautiful handmaidens.“It’s already pretty impressive having the Torres family backing him for this long.“You may not know this, but the Wright family also has connections with the Torres family.“Even the Bauer family might not go up against them!“With the Torres family’s support, he does have the right to flaunt his strength in Flutwell!”“The Wright family?Ai’s facial expression changed slightly.“The Big Boss’s family?”Clyde merely showed a faint smile.“Flutwell might only seem like the borderland of the southwest region, but its waters are deeper than anyone can imagine.“Harvey has been popping up everywhere, challenging everyone in his wake. I even received reports that he went against the Indians recently.“I’m guessing he might be one of the Torres family’s pawns!”Ai could not look away when he showed envy toward Clyde being served by two goddesses
“Oh? How beautiful are we talking about here?”Clyde Osborne seemed to perk up after hearing Ai Kamino’s words.Ai already prepared a few pictures on his phone this morning to send to Clyde.Clyde looked at his phone for a moment before he burst out laughing.“One’s a mature housewife, and the other’s an innocent school beauty. Interesting. These two are really intriguing…“Since it’s rare to get sisters like them, I’ll have to take action myself.Clyde then waved at the secretary not far from him.“Call Commissioner Thompson.”***While Clyde was making a phone call, Harvey York did not even care about the incident anymore.After taking care of Xynthia Zimmer, he called a cab to the center of Flutwell while curiously looking through the contracts.He came to an antique Budokan. It was as silent as the grave.The Budokan has more than a decade’s history. Bowen Lee inherited the place from his father. The name of the place was called the Martial Hall.The name was very clas
"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
