“Do you think you can go against the leader of the organization?“If my senior hears about this, you’ll be dead in a few seconds!“Even a hundred of you wouldn’t be enough to fight him!“If he wants to, he can slap you all the way across the globe!“You better cherish your final moments!“When my senior’s here, you won’t even get a chance to beg!”Jace Lee did not want to talk to Harvey York any longer. He had never seen such an arrogant man in his entire life.The beautiful women returned to their senses before glaring at Harvey disdainfully.After all, he had no right to provoke such a powerful man like Jace.“Do you really not need me to get someone, Sir York?Julian York showed a serious expression on his face. He tried warning Harvey again after checking his phone for more information.“Trey Bierstadt is a peak King of Arms who defeated countless experts in Blackburn City! His name isn’t just for show!“Someone even considered him the most promising person to be the se
“You do have some talent, Harvey York…“But so what?“You’re just trash in front of Young Master Bierstadt anyway!“Right! He’s strong enough to make CEO Toft kneel, but what’s the point?“He’s lucky enough to show off once or twice!“But in front of a genuinely prominent figure, all this means nothing!“This is just incompetent rage of someone who’ll never succeed!“He’ll know just how much of a gap he has with Young Master Bierstadt soon enough!”Everyone was showing pitiful expressions as they stared at Harvey.No matter how powerful Harvey actually was, his background was still inferior compared to Jace Lee and the others.“Senior!”“Young Master Bierstadt!”“Mr. Bierstadt!”A group of people immediately swarmed Trey Bierstadt. Jace showed an extremely miserable look when he was in front of the crowd.“What happened here, Jace? Why’d you call me here to help?”Trey calmly rolled up his sleeves, as if nothing mattered to him.Jace coldly groaned.“This outsider kept
“Figure out the truth?“Why should I?“You weaklings really do care about such trivial things.Trey Bierstadt crossed his arms while he strutted forward. Every single step he took was filled with zest.“Strong ones like me don’t need to know of such things.“After all, I only stand by the people I want to.“Even if my junior ends up murdering people and burning down houses, he’d still be right in my eyes.“Even if the law is by your side, you’d still have to pay the price for laying your hands on my junior.”Jace Lee was in high spirits after getting Trey’s unwavering support.“This b*stard said that even the leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance has no right to go against him, let alone you!”“That’s right, Young Master Bierstadt! That ignorant b*stard did say that!” cried the other lackeys in unison.“You’re looking down on the leader?! You’re mocking the organization?!”Trey let out a cold scoff.“Why are there so many so-called powerful people here recentl
A lot of people were showing playful smiles after seeing Trey Bierstadt’s actions.Everyone thought that Harvey York would be terrified enough to crawl under Trey.After all, no matter how strong Harvey was, he would not dare go against Trey.He would have a death wish if he did just that!Right when Harvey was about to slap Trey in the face, Julian York’s phone suddenly started vibrating.After listening to the call, Julian was completely shocked.Then, he respectfully walked toward Harvey.“Sir York, it’s from Flutwell.“It’s from the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.“With Leader Torres’ recommendation, after a huge debate, the organization chose you to be the new representative!“You’ll be able to make decisions in the World Martial Arts Alliance on behalf of Country H.“Simply put, your identity will be on par with Leader Torres in the future.“If Leader Torres were to retire, you’ll become the new leader.”Julian could not help but tremble.Obviously, he was clearly
‘Gordon Moreno?‘Representative Moreno?’Trey Bierstadt finally figured out who the person was.Gordon was the representative of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance. Even the leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance would have to bow to him.This was an extremely prominent figure…And yet he was congratulating Harvey York for becoming the governor of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance.‘Served by thousands of people?!’Gordon’s words made it clear that Harvey’s identity within the Country H Martial Arts Alliance was completely true.The representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance and the governor of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance. The person with the right to vote in the World Martial Arts Alliance…At this very moment, Trey could feel himself hyperventilating.His legs were starting to wobble. A sense of fear instantly replaced the arrogance on his face.The experts behind him were starting to feel a little numb. They did not even have the courage
Trey Bierstadt’s mouth kept twitching.“You’re crossing the line, Harvey York…“Do you think I’m scared of you?“Even if you’re the actual governor, I’ll…”Trey had no strength to put up a front any longer. He instantly slammed his knees to the ground that very moment.He knew that he was in big trouble. Not only would he suffer, but the entire Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance would also be dragged down.Harvey’s title seemed like nothing, but it was enough to suppress everyone here, even without him lifting a single finger.Everyone felt extremely sluggish when they saw the sight before they instinctively slapped themselves in the face.The high and mighty top talent of the organization came all the way here to stand up for Jace…But then what happened?He was already kneeling in front of a random tourist…Was Trey worthless? Or was Harvey just too impressive to begin with?Harvey walked toward Trey before he patted his face.“Why are you kneeling already, Young Maste
“You want both my arms?!After seeing Trey Bierstadt kneeling on the ground and hearing Harvey York’s demands, the fear in Jace Lee’s heart was replaced by fury.“I don’t care what identity you have, but you should know I’m no small fry either!“I’m the third young master of the Lee family! We’re also allies with the Moreno family!“If you hurt me, you’ll get a lot of strong enemies waiting to take bites out of you!“I’ll remember you forever!“I can’t do anything to you for now, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen later!“If I can’t touch you this year, I’ll still have many years after that!“You’ll be in deep trouble if you break my arms now!”Jace desperately tried to warn Harvey while gritting his teeth. He wanted to show that Harvey’s title as the governor of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance was only effective against people of the same organization and not the family.After exposing that fact, the outsider would not be able to endure the frenzied attacks in the Sou
Slap!Even before Harvey York could say anything, Trey Bierstadt instantly jumped off the ground before he sent Jace Lee flying with a single slap.“B*stard!”Jace covered his face when he stumbled off the ground.“You hit me, Trey?!“Do you want to die?!”Crack!Trey completely ignored him before furiously snapping his arm.Even if Jace had a death wish, Trey did not want that.As the top talent of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, he knew just how immense Harvey’s title was.That was why he did what he thought was the right choice.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain could be heard. Before Jace was even done struggling, Trey took action once again.Sounds of bones cracking echoed everywhere before Jace was completely crippled. He could not stop trembling on the ground at this moment.He wanted to lash out; he wanted to question everyone here; he wanted to go crazy, but the pain was stopping him from doing anything.All he could do was squeal like a dying pig on the ground
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
