Gordon Moreno and the others did not want this to happen. They were still screaming at Harvey York moments before but already bowing in the next second.There was no other choice. Their bosses had already made the call.Since three out of four great directors of the World Martial Arts Alliance agreed to the condition, what else could the representatives even do?Colton Torres was completely frozen.Dane Benett and the others were shocked as well.At this point, they could not even believe what was happening before their eyes.“I oppose this! Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance cannot be allowed to be one of the great directors!” bellowed Clyde furiously.“We know what we’re capable of! Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance isn’t suited for that!“Not only are you pushing us to go against the Far East and South Sea regions…“You’re trying to kill Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance here!“I’ll never agree to this!”Then, Clyde coldly glared at Emilio Garcia and Haru Miyamoto.His in
The others became extremely sluggish after hearing those words.Nobody expected that Clyde Osborne, who seemed like the instigator, would be slapped around by Gordon Moreno.‘What exactly happened here…?’“How dare you touch me, you b*stard…?”Clyde wanted to kill off Gordon, but he managed to hold back.He could take out someone like Gordon in a heartbeat…But he was being supported by the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance. Clyde also could not afford to go against them.“What? Do you think you’re impressive just because we call you ‘Prince’?“Do you want to come at me right now?!Gordon disdainfully pushed Clyde aside.“You’re useless! All you can do is run your mouth!“Let me tell you something! No matter how hard the decision is or how many people are against us, the Far East and South Sea Martial Arts Alliance will stand with Country H!“We’ll get our members to sign the contract to nominate Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance as the fifth great director!”While Clyde gri
On the next three days, Harvey York had to deal with Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance’s matters along with Colton Torres.Along with the Far East and South Sea Martial Arts Alliances’ sending their recommendations…Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance had successfully become one of the great directors.Other than that, not only did the attacks toward Country H citizens from abroad stop, they were all fully compensated for the damages.After dealing with the matter, Harvey told Rachel Hardy and the others to stay in Flutwell and cooperate with Mandy Zimmer to run the Hearthstone Corporation.As for the Martial Hall, Elanor Stanton and Layne Naiswell would be in charge.With the two together, they would have both connections and the strength to do anything.Martial Hall’s development would naturally be on track, along with the Torres family supporting them.After that, Harvey told Rachel to buy him a plane ticket before he went off.Dean Cobb’s injuries were still untreated after
After the phone call with Katy Cobb, Harvey York gave Queenie York and Yoana Mendoza a call.He was going to Blackburn City so he could help Dean Cobb. Katy would definitely arrange everything for him properly…But it was still better to prepare for the worst, just in case. After all, Blackburn City was outside the borders.Harvey called Queenie and Yoana since Hong Kong and Las Vegas were enclaves of Country H in the South Sea region. It would be easier to send more men to Blackburn City than compared to Mordu and Buckwood.Then, Harvey walked up the VIP passageway before boarding the plane.He rested his eyes for about ten hours before the plane landed.When he opened his eyes again, he could already feel the warmth and calm breeze of the South Sea.It was already around nine o’clock in the morning. The plane was about to land in Blackburn City.The passengers started to collect their belongings.Harvey did not bring a lot with him, though. Then, he wanted to freshen up hims
“Aaagh!”Along with the screams of pain, the man was sent flying before he slammed into the edge of the cabin. He could not even stand back up as he covered his face at that moment.The crowd was completely shocked.‘How dare a man from Country H even do this to a man from the South Sea?’‘He’s lawless!’“Looks like you’re a tourist here, young man…”“Don’t you know that peace is the most important thing when you’re in a foreign country?”“Don’t you know that you people need to pay your respects to the people here? We won’t make it any harder on you if you just pay a small tip when you’re coming and leaving here!”“It sure looks like you’re standing up for yourself, but you’re actually dooming every single citizen of Country H!”“No matter what reason you have, you’re committing a crime for assaulting someone in South Sea’s airspace!”“Apologize! Apologize this instance!”A few men in suits started yelling at Harvey while pointing at his nose.A few women quickly lifted the
“Do you want me to apologize to this clown? Are you kidding me?”Harvey York glared derisively at the crowd.“How dare you?!”A woman with exquisite makeup walked out before glaring at Harvey with a bossy look.“Not only did you assault this man, you even insulted us noble people from the South Sea!“If you don’t give us a fair statement right now, you’ll be in big trouble!”“Do you want a statement?Harvey showed an indifferent expression.“Who do you think you are? You think you can just ask for a statement like this?”“You didn’t give your wallet to us noble people! You beat up one of our people and slandered everyone here! You’re obviously in big trouble right now!The beautiful woman took a step forward with a furious expression.“Kneel and apologize!”Harvey squinted at the woman before coldly exclaiming, “And what if I refuse?”“Refuse?“If you refuse, we’ll get you locked up by the airport police for three whole days! You won’t even get a chance to get inside Sout
Half an hour later, the plane safely landed at the Blackburn City International Airport.Harvey York and the others seated in first-class seats got out of the plane as soon as possible. There was also a shuttle bus assigned to pick up the people.The people who were slapped around by Harvey instantly got on the shuttle bus. The thief took out his phone and fearlessly took a few pictures of Harvey before coldly chuckling.Ten minutes later, the shuttle bus came to the immigration checkpoint outside the waiting hall.“You! Stop right there!”Hundreds of passengers were being inspected before they were let go…But when it was Harvey’s turn, a person in uniform instantly stopped him.She sized up Harvey with a judgmental gaze before showing utter disdain.Not far away, the thief cracked a cold smirk.According to international airspace laws, the South Sea had no right to pursue Harvey for what happened in the air…But they did have ways to deal with him anyway.A few towering se
Another woman let out a cold chuckle.“Don’t you dare say you’re the young master of some big company or the son of some first-in-command.“Titles like that are completely useless here!“Let me warn you something! You better cooperate and give us your password already!“We need to inspect your phone for prohibited documents!“If not, we’ll lock you up for forty-eight hours before deporting you back!“We’re not responsible for what happens during that period!”After hearing those words, the other workers and security guards were showing playful looks.Naturally, they had already threatened many so-called young masters and princes with the same trick.No matter how much of a show-off they were, they had no choice but to give in.Some even offered the security guards their cash, watches, and jewelry away without hesitation.If that were not the case, they would have been sent to the airport police.“Fine. Since you want to be in charge, I’ll give you a chance,” said Harvey cal
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
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
