Clyde Osborne’s face darkened in an instant. He was gritting his teeth when he resentfully glared at Harvey York.He never expected Harvey could easily point out such weaknesses in other people’s martial arts.Strength like this was just way beyond his comprehension.In Clyde’s mind, nobody was stronger than his dominant trump card, no matter how strong people were at fighting…But Harvey exposed the representatives’ weaknesses and made them fear him.Then, who would dare go against them?Clyde showed a horrible expression when he exclaimed, “What do you want?“So what if you can point out their weaknesses?“Other than proving that you stole their secrets, what else can you do?“Let me tell you something! These people won’t be scared off like this!“The people who oppose you won’t be scared off because of this either!“Your information is useless to these representatives!”“They don’t have to be scared of me.Harvey showed a bright smile.“They can even pretend that the i
“Nobody knows if the four great Martial Arts Alliances will fall even if you expose the information to the public…“But we’ll do everything in our power to kill you!” exclaimed Haru Miyamoto while gritting his teeth.Rowen Caddel and Gordon Moreno showed horrible expressions without uttering a single word.“Oh? You say that like you won’t kill me if I don’t expose the Martial Arts Alliances!Harvey York showed a playful expression.“Weren’t you the ones demanding me to reveal everything I learned before I kneel in front of India’s royal family?“You’re saying that you’re being reasonable…“And I’m the one committing the sin?“If you don’t want something done to yourselves, then you shouldn’t have imposed it on others in the first place.“Come! You clearly have something up your sleeves to fight me if you’re still willing to threaten me right now,” reasoned Harvey calmly.“Then, use it all on me! See if I’ll get scared!”The representatives were all gritting their teeth after
Slap!“You’re the prince of the Osborne family. The successor of India’s royal family!“You’ve been acting all high and mighty, but who knew you have such a cowardly side too?”Harvey York kept slapping Clyde Osborne around to the point where his face was swollen completely.“You b*stard…”Clyde stumbled backward after taking all those slaps. A horrible expression was clearly showing on his face at that moment.He wanted to pull out his firearm and pull the trigger on Harvey desperately…But as soon as he grabbed his firearm, Emilio Garcia and the others quickly exclaimed, “You can’t, Prince Osborne!”Naturally, they cared more about their interests than Clyde’s own pride.They came here to flaunt their strength, not to die horrible deaths.“Shut up! Every single one of you!Clyde was utterly enraged.“Did you all forget who the instigator is?!“I’ll kill him! I’m going to kill him!”After being continuously disrespected, Clyde wanted to strangle Harvey so badly.He took
“No,” replied Harvey York with a calm look.Emilio Garcia showed a horrible expression.“I guarantee similar incidents will not happen for the next five years!“The attacks on citizens of Country H from abroad will also halt instantly!Haru Miyamoto and the others felt resentful but had no choice just to nod in unison.“That’s right! From now on, we’ll coexist peacefully. From now on, we won’t get involved with your affairs!”Clyde Osborne gritted his teeth after hearing those words.He only showed a cold expression without saying a word. Speaking out against this would mean going against the front he previously put up for the sake of the people.He was already thinking of a million ways to end Harvey’s life at this moment…He was dead set on seeing Harvey getting ripped to shreds!“Yeah!”The workers of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance happily cheered.The pressure of the four great Martial Arts Alliances was just too immense.Everyone felt much more relaxed when they we
Harvey York crossed his arms before disdainfully sending Emilio Garcia flying with a single kick.When Harvey was wiping his fingers with some tissue, Emilio and the others were frantically twitching their eyes before they fearfully took a few steps back.At this point, they knew that Harvey was right…Even if Harvey killed them off, the Martial Arts Alliances would not even bat an eye.After all, Harvey knew their biggest weaknesses.Emilio and the others felt utterly resentful when they saw Harvey acting dominantly.They were here to show off and boss around Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance…But they were no different than mere dogs compared to Harvey at this moment.This was completely off from what they had in mind.With a bitter look, Emilio took a deep breath and said, “It’s better if you don’t burn all your bridges right now, Sir York…”Harvey swung the back of his palm across Emilio’s face.“I’d rather do just that.”Haru Miyamoto gritted his teeth and stepped forw
“Number two, compensate for all the losses of Country H citizens abroad.“Pay for their damages and punish the people who did it! Not a single dime less, and not a single person left out!“Other than that, every single one of you will pay a hundred and fifty million dollars as pension and mental loss fees for the citizens of Country H!“My assistant, Elanor Stanton, will decide how to proceed with the situation.”Emilio Garcia and the others frantically twitched their eyes.Harvey York was going for the people’s hearts.That said, the conditions were still within their tolerable range. No matter how resentful they were, they had no choice but to nod their heads.“We’ll accept these conditions too.”“Number three, and also the final one…Harvey calmly said, “I don’t trust the four great Martial Arts Alliances to keep their word.“That’s why I’m asking the Far East and South Sea Martial Arts Alliances to acknowledge Country H as the fifth permanent director of the World Martial
Clyde Osborne was not just spouting nonsense either. The four great directors would always side with America and the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets’ Martial Arts Alliances.Not only did they have the monopoly of the world’s many martial arts resources, but they would also often band together to suppress the other Martial Arts Alliances of top countries. The cooperation between both sides would be considered near-perfect.Safe to say that the world’s Martial Arts Alliances would always follow the four great directors.Because of the Far East and South Sea’s complicated situation, the World Martial Arts Alliance would usually not get involved with them.They already owned the rest of the martial arts world anyway.Why would the four great directors even let Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance rise to power under such circumstances?Not only would there be another person in charge, but all the directors would also be on a different page again.Then, how could they use their author
Clyde Osborne’s face instantly darkened.He could not imagine how such a coincidence would even happen.At such a crucial moment, the World Martial Arts Alliance held a meeting and nominated Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance as one of the great directors.‘How is this possible?!‘Everything happened exactly like that b*stard, Harvey York, said!‘Did he plan for all this?!The thoughts came to Clyde’s mind like a surging tide crashing onto the shore.He quickly calmed himself, thinking that this would never be the case.‘A small fry like Harvey wouldn’t be able to do anything to the World Martial Arts Alliance.‘All this is just a coincidence!’“Don’t be scared, everyone!” exclaimed Clyde.“He must’ve known about this through his sources!“That was why he would come up with such a condition!“Don’t give in to his terms!“We, the people from Country H, know our limits. We have no right to sit in such a powerful position.”Even before Clyde was done talking, Emilio Garcia a
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
