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
CEO Lee’s face darkened in an instant the moment he heard Harvey’s words.When Harvey was done, he quickly replied with a respectful bow, “Don’t worry, Sir York.”“I’ll give you a fair statement about this.”“From today onward, I’ll make sure that any person from Country H will never be treated unfairly!”Before Harvey could say anything, CEO Lee immediately started swinging his palm around.His movements were ruthless yet accurate, slapping Daphne and the others around till their faces were completely swollen.Bam!CEO Lee then kicked Daphne to the ground, stomping on her exquisite face right after.Daphne’s nose snapped in half; blood smeared her now hideous face. It was a miserable right.CEO Lee turned around and looked at Harvey respectfully.“Sir York! Is this enough for you?”“No.”Harvey smiled, as calm as always. “How are you going to deal with the thief using Blackburn City’s law?”“I understand.”CEO Lee nodded and waved his hand; many tall strong security gu
Security guards with loaded firearms were patrolling every single entrance.After Ellen made a few phone calls, the guards raised the lever for the car to head inside.The car arrived at the entrance of the main building. Katy had been waiting there for a while.Katy walked forward with a smile on her face after the car was parked.“Thank you for coming all this way, Sir York.”“I’m sorry I had to call you here like this.”Katy already knew about the four great Martial Arts Alliances pressuring Country H, along with all of Harvey’s efforts. She was filled with gratitude when Harvey came all the way here as soon as he could.Harvey smiled.“It’s no big deal, Head Cobb. We’re friends. No need to be this courteous.”“Enough with the formalities.”“Didn’t Elder Cobb’s condition get worse? Let me go take a look.”Katy frowned when Harvey mentioned the situation.“To be honest with you, I invited a lot of famous families here for my grandfather.”“Martial artists, well-known doc
“Miss Cobb!”The man in a white t-shirt went forward to greet Katy, and nodded at Ellen.There was a slight fluctuation in his eyes when he shifted his gaze toward Harvey.“Thank you, Young Master Padlow. Thank you, everyone.”Katy nodded at the crowd before turning to the man in the white t-shirt.“This is the protege of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, Gael Padlow.”“He’s pretty powerful and has a strong background as well.”Harvey nodded, not saying much. He looked back at Ellen; her face was bright red and she seemed quite anxious.After looking at Ellen, then at Katy and Gael, Harvey smiled faintly.He had figured something out.But before he could dwell on the thoughts, Katy took a deep breath and said, “Thank you all for putting all your strength into my grandfather’s condition for the past few days.”“That said, he still hasn’t gotten any better. Rather, he’s in worse shape than before.”“I’m not blaming anyone for this, but I think the attempts should stop here
“He’s just a young man! He doesn’t look like a doctor either, so he must be a martial artist.”“Even if he trained since he was in his mother’s womb, there’s no way he’s even better than the rest of us here.”“I suspect he’s a con artist! Who’s going to take responsibility if anything bad happens after this? Him? Or everyone else?”The crowd naturally had their own opinions about Harvey.After all, they all wanted Katy to look at them in a different light. However, they all failed miserably.Rather, an ordinary-looking young man managed to get Katy’s respect. This was completely unforgivable for Gael.Ellen was muttering to herself when she looked at Harvey; she didn’t blatantly insult Harvey, but she was clearly on Gael’s side.Harvey smiled calmly, stopping Katy from saying anything.He looked at Gael and said, “I’m not from any sacred martial arts training grounds, nor do I have any impressive background.”“I’m just an ordinary person.”“What gave you the courage to come h
“I’m no doctor. I don’t come from the sacred martial arts training grounds, either,” Harvey began calmly.“But I do know a bit of the art of killing. I can save people using that. Is there a problem?”“Of course there is!”Gael scoffed coldly.“I’m a martial artist as well! Of course I know about that!”“The problem is, you have to learn everything there is about it!”“Simply put, you need to be a genius with lots of experience to save someone using that art.”“If you think you’re actually capable, then show me what you’ve got!”“If you can’t, then you should stop lying to Miss Cobb. You’re just hindering us from finding a way to treat Elder Cobb!”“We’ll find a way to make Elder Cobb better using both medicine and martial arts soon enough!”Gael shot Harvey a challenging look before pointing at the treatment plans that everyone had put together on the table.“Why don’t we show an idiot like you the South Sea’s flawless treatment plan instead?”Naturally, to show that he wa
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
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
