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
Harvey York calmly hung up the phone before putting three fingers up in front of Daphne Lee, telling her he only needed three minutes.“Three minutes?Daphne scoffed after seeing Harvey’s movements.“Do you think you can show off just because you have someone putting up a show with you?!“It’s useless!“We’ve seen country bumpkins like you before! We won’t be tricked by such lame party tricks!”“If you’re that confident, we should just wait it out,” replied Harvey calmly.“Fine! I’ll wait!“If you can’t get out of the situation by then, I’ll deal with you myself!”Daphne crossed her hands while looking at Harvey with her nose.Harvey casually played with his phone when he saw news of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance being the new great director of the World Martial Arts Alliance.Three minutes had passed, but nothing had changed.Daphne showed a disdainful look when she looked at her Cartier watch, that no one knew where she got it from.“Time’s up, country bumpkin. You’r
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
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
