Dozens of experts from the Longmen Warband instinctively raised their weapons after hearing Arya Johnson’s orders.All of them were showing fierce looks when they screamed at the experts of the Bauer family, forcing them to retreat.Some of Lucca Bauer’s trusted subordinates wanted to block the path, but they were immediately slapped aside by the Longmen Warband.Even if the experts were completely infuriated, they had no other choice but to make way.Three minutes later, Harvey York casually sat in his Toyota Prado before he made a gesture, signaling Arya’s men to send Lilian Yates to the hospital.Arya’s veins were bulging out of her forehead before she instinctively walked over.“What do you think you’re doing, Harvey?!“Did you not hear what I just said?!“Young Master Bauer prepared a banquet just for you!”“Go back and tell him something…” replied Harvey while he started his car.“Everything that happened just now was completely different than expected.“I don’t feel t
“Joseph Bauer’s completely crippled. Harold Bauer’s trusted subordinate was killed as well…“Jeff Bauer must be ecstatic at this point, right?“Because of this, Harold and I are forced to go against each other.“If I manage to cripple Harold because of this, Jeff can win the battle for the throne without even lifting a finger.Harvey York squinted with a calm look on his face.“Do you think that Harold meant to do all this? Or did Jeff trick him into doing this instead?”Rachel Hardy and the others looked at each other.Harvey was right.The entire incident seemed coincidental, but this was still a little too much.Both Lucca Bauer and Arya Johnson’s appearances seemed a little too deliberate.If this was all part of Jeff’s plans, then he was a lot more scheming than everyone thought.Rachel frantically twitched her eyes.“So, what should we do next, Sir York?” asked Rachel quietly.“Should we continue with Secretary Xavier’s acquisition plan?”“Of course. Why shouldn’t w
While the staff spoke, a few men in security uniforms came over with cautious looks when they glared at Xynthia Zimmer and the others.“We’re here to take over the chain Budokans originally from Flutwell’s business alliance.“We couldn’t inform you ahead of time because of time constraints…“But don’t worry. This is just a normal transfer of property rights. We won’t affect your work.”Xynthia obviously did her homework. She seemed like an experienced woman as soon as she spoke.“My name is Xynthia. Please tell your management about this so we can make a transfer.”Then, Xynthia’s assistant behind her handed over official documents for the staff to read.“You’re taking over the chain Budokans?”The staff seemed quite surprised, but she also knew what had happened the day before. She nodded before turning back inside without saying another word.Soon, a dozen people in traditional clothing walked out with an elegant-looking woman.The woman was none other than Jeff Bauer’s sev
“Enough talk!”Audrey Lopez instantly cut off Xynthia Zimmer with an annoyed look.“There are no misunderstandings, nor are there any friends here!“I don’t need to call anyone!“This is now Young Master Bauer’s property!“You people better get out of here right now! Stop affecting our business!“If not, I’ll tell Young Master Bauer to teach Harvey York a lesson he won’t forget!Audrey then waved her hand with a cold expression.“Come! Get them out of here!”A dozen security guards furiously rushed forward with firearms in hand.It was Xynthia’s first time seeing such a sight. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to comply for the time being.“We’re leaving!”Xynthia resentfully went back to the Martial hall.“Jeff Bauer bought every single property of Flutwell’s business alliance?Harvey’s eyes lit up after hearing Xynthia’s explanation.“There’s no rush. Let me make a phone call.”Harvey then gave Ansel Torres a call.Ansel froze. He immediately contacted the g
“Tell everyone that Joseph Bauer used such heinous tactics to earn money because Jeff Bauer pulled the strings!“Then tell them that to cover up the truth, Jeff abused his authority and sent his subordinates to kill one of Harold Bauer’s men!“Harold is a just man, trying to expose the entire thing to the public!“Make up a few more versions of this story!“Make it as exaggerated as you can…“In any case, everyone needs to know that Jeff and Joseph are in the same boat!“And Harold had been constantly targeted because of his righteousness!“The Bauer family’s infighting starts with Jeff…“We’ll give them utter chaos!”Kroom!While Rachel Hardy and Kayden Balmer were carrying out their missions outside, thunder broke out from the sky.All of Flutwell was hot and humid. A storm was brewing…In the evening.Inside a private golf course on the outskirts of Flutwell.The sun was shining brightly. The wind was blowing gently.After the rain, it was the perfect time to relax wh
Right as the group of people were happily chatting…A battery-powered four-wheel-drive drove over before stopping near Jeff Bauer and the others.Elanor Stanton, who had exquisite makeup on along with her sportswear and sunhat, walked out of the car.Her looks were extremely mesmerizing. Even Jeff, who was familiar with every single part of her body, could not help but be fascinated after seeing her sight.Audrey Lopez instantly squinted as soon as she saw her rival show up.“Young Master Bauer didn’t even ask you to come today, Elanor. What do you want?“Don’t his words matter to you now?”Jeff showed a warm smile as he waved his hand.“You’re sisters, Audrey. You need to play nice with each other. There’s no need to get jealous.”Naturally, Jeff quite enjoyed his women fighting over him. After all, his charm and status would only be shown because of this.Audrey coldly scoffed with a disdainful look.Elanor completely ignored Audrey and hastily walked toward Jeff.“You’re
Out of all seventy-two mistresses, not many women had hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets.Elanor Stanton was the one who had control of most of the assets, so she was usually excluded from the rest of the mistresses.If it were not for Jeff Bauer having such a big ego, the mistresses would have started ridiculing Elanor for cucking Jeff at this point.Elanor shuddered as soon as she realized what Audrey Lopez was actually doing. She instinctively shook her head when she said, “Don’t misunderstand me, Young Master Bauer.“I was just worried about you.“After all, that b*stard is extremely dangerous. If he gets angry because of this, there’ll be dire consequences…”Audrey coldly chuckled.“Get angry? What right does he even have?“Even if he did get angry, do you really think he can go against Young Master Bauer?“How ignorant and naive can you get?! You’re obviously being spiteful right now!”“Alright. That’s enough. There’s no need to argue about such a small mat
“Every big media in Flutwell is saying that the young masters of the Bauer family completely hate each other because of their battle for the throne!“Joseph Bauer, who had malicious intents toward the public, was actually backed by Jeff Bauer himself!“Harold Bauer is probably the kindest one out of the three young masters!“To avoid compensation, Joseph transferred every single one of his properties under Jeff’s name!“Joseph disappearing with his money without a trace also seems to be because of Jeff!”After returning to the family’s manor, Jeff was boiling with anger after looking at the headlines.‘This is shameless!’‘This is despicable!’Not only was Jeff being forced into a corner, but the things that should have been made public were also exposed all at once!All of the rage directed at Joseph also converged toward Jeff.Jeff taking over all of Joseph’s properties was all fact.Many news platforms were also leaking documents signed by the two!Simply put, the people
"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
