All the instructors walked away with conceited looks showing.Naturally, Layne Naiswell and the others thought Harvey York would surely regret his decision.They believed that Harvey would kneel before their faces in just three days at most.The students all looked at each other. After hesitating, they all also turned around and left.Even though Harvey’s words seemed to have truth in them, they trusted Layne and the other instructors more.Even the two students who had problems pointed out by Harvey also left.Although Harvey was right, the students still believed that Layne and the others were only lacking because they did not provide enough money.They thought they could actually learn something worthwhile if they treated Layne and the others well enough!Soon after, the entire Martial Hall was empty.The hall was dead silent. Only Harvey and Dillon Lee were left.The robes were flapping all over the ground when a gust of wind blew over. It was a terribly awkward sight.“
Harvey York cracked a smile.“Speaking of, I should invite Elder Torres for a meal now that I finally have a property here.“I should give him a call later. Since you’re here already…“All of us should have a meal together.”Sienna Wright clapped her hands after hearing Harvey’s words.“That’s great! It’s been a while since I sat with Uncle Torres.”“If it’s fine with you, why don’t we have Nelson Torres and Ansel Torres here as well?”Naturally, Sienna wanted to bring Nelson and Harvey closer since she knew they had a pretty average relationship.Harvey lightly nodded before giving Ansel a call.He then called Rachel Hardy and Kayden Balmer to get some of their men to Martial Hall.Harvey wanted the place cleaned up before he invited Colton Torres and the others here.Time passed bit by bit while everyone was making preparations.Soon after, it was dinner time.Harvey and Sienna were just done talking when the sounds of roaring engines could be heard from outside.Colton
The convoy completely surrounded the place when Harvey York and the others looked outside.Dozens of people came out of the cars, keeping an eye on the entire place with fierce looks.Ai Kamino and Senior Miller could clearly be seen among the crowd.That said, Ai was no longer the man leading the charge. A bald man in his thirties was standing in the middle of the crowd at that moment.He was a slightly shorter man with a beer belly. He strutted with a bossy look while flaunting his shiny head, as if he despised the entire world.“Get your *ss out of here right now, Harvey!”Before the group of people even arrived at the entrance, Senior Miller immediately yelled with a fierce expression on his face.The beautiful women behind him were in high spirits as well. After being utterly humiliated last time, they wanted to get revenge.“Someone’s trying to cause trouble as soon as I’m open for business?“Interesting.“Please take your time here. I’ll take a look outside.”Harvey s
“So, you’re Harvey York?”The bald man walked forward with beautiful women surrounding him.He paused for a brief moment every time he took a step forward, making him seem quite imposing.Harvey did not even raise his head to look at the man.“And who are you supposed to be?”“He’s Commissioner Thompson, the man who oversees all the prominent figures in Wolsing!“I asked him here for help this time!Ai Kamino showed a playful look as he stared at Harvey.“Right! Maybe you don’t know what his title means…“Simply put, the first-in-command of the Flutwell Police Station has no say in front of him!”Ai was a manipulative man. He wanted to stop Harvey from asking for help. That was why he pointed out that Commissioner Thompson had a higher status than Ansel Torres.He was planning to strike fear into Harvey’s heart.Harvey merely let out a chuckle.“Commissioner?“So what?“I thought Clyde Osborne himself showed up just for me!“You really got me scared for a second there!”
“Three things!“Number one: I want 1.5 billion dollars from you!“Number two: grovel and break one of your arms, then apologize to Mr. Kamino!“Number three: get your wife and sister-in-law to serve us for a whole month! Not a day less!Commissioner Thompson showed three of his fingers with a cold smirk on his face.“Of course, you’re not obliged to agree to the terms!“But if you don’t, I have no choice but to take you back and have a nice long chat with you!”Dozens of men in uniforms stepped forward with fierce gazes, as if they were ready to take down Harvey York and smash up the Martial Hall.Harvey heaved a sigh.“I might’ve let you off the hook if all you did was talk big in front of me…“You must have a death wish for taking advantage of people like this!”“How dare you?!Senior Miller walked up with fumes coming out of his mouth.“That’s just how Commissioner Thompson works!“How dare you talk back to him like this?! Do you want to die or something?!“Let me tel
Commissioner Thompson was boiling with anger!‘Does this b*stard think I’m just a decoration or something?!Commissioner Thompson belonged to one of the top ten families!A man like him wouldn’t take humiliation kindly!“You b*stard!“How dare you?!“You’re lawless!Commissioner Thompson was showing a cold expression on his face.“Do you think I don’t exist, Harvey?!”Dozens of men in uniform stepped forward as soon as they heard Commissioner Thompson’s scream.The men had fierce looks on their faces as they surrounded Harvey completely.Harvey merely shrugged.“Did none of you hear that? There are so many of you here!“That guy practically begged me to hit him!“I was just doing as he asked! How am I in the wrong?’“You’re making me very angry, you b*stard! You’re finished!Commissioner Thompson pulled out his firearm and took off the safety before pointing it right toward Harvey.“I’ll take you in right now!“You can try to resist!“But I’ll gun you down right now
Naturally, Commissioner Thompson knew that Rachel Hardy had an extraordinary identity that he could not afford to go against…But he had no choice but to take down Harvey York.If not, he would have nothing to show for Clyde Osborne.Rachel lightly chuckled.“So, you’re saying you will go against me no matter what?”Commissioner Thompson froze before coldly exclaiming, “I’m only calling you the vice head because I respect you!“Don’t even think for a second that you’re actually impressive!“There are some matters that you just can’t butt in!“For example, you have no right to tell me what to do here!”Rachel smiled.“I think you’re misunderstanding.“Do you think I’m that much of a busybody? I’m only here to give you a warning for the sake of our acquaintanceship.“There are some things that will have dire consequences…“Once you go down this path, there’ll be no going back.”Commissioner Thompson frowned before he instinctively rubbed his greasy temples.“Who is he even
While Commissioner Thompson was showing utter disbelief, Nelson Torres walked up and tapped his shoulder.“Sir York is my brother’s good friend. I also look up to him. More importantly, my father is deeply indebted to this man.“Along with Head Balmer and Vice Head Hardy here…“Aren’t you supposed to pay some respect to all of us?”“Or are you saying you want my father to show up here too?“Or rather, would you like to invite the very person you’re supposed to protect?”At that moment, Commissioner Thompson’s face had completely lost all color.Nelson coldly chuckled before slapping Commissioner Thompson to the ground with the back of his palm.“Aaagh!”Commissioner Thompson’s face was utterly swollen when he was slammed onto the ground. Even a tooth came out from his mouth after taking the slap in the face.If it were not for Ai Kamino’s help, he would not even be able to stand up that time.Judging from this, it was clear that Nelson was standing up for Harvey. The slap wa
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
