After dealing with Jace Lee and the others, Harvey York called Irene Johnson before coming to the Blackburn City Hospital.Blackburn City Hospital is a private hospital. It was not as big, but the furnishes were so luxurious to the point where every single person would know about the hospital.That said, the hospital’s medical skills were mediocre. The hospital’s reputation in the city was quite subpar.The hospital would usually rely on cheating money from tourists’ pockets, so they would naturally make a huge profit.The tourists would not have anybody to turn to because of this. They would have no choice but to let it slide.Harvey only understood this while he was on the way here.Since Irene was not a local, she could not be blamed for the situation.Soon after, Harvey and Julian York arrived at the hospital’s hallway.“Sir York.”Irene respectfully greeted Harvey.“How’s it going?”Harvey nodded.“She’s in the emergency room, but…”Irene hesitated.Harvey frowned. A
Rayne Bell coldly chuckled.“I’m warning you, though. We won’t pay you the money back once the transaction’s done.“You can take the patient with you, but we’re not returning the deposit!“Now leave!“Stop being an eyesore!”Irene Johnson’s expression was as cold as ice after hearing those words.“You’re crossing the line!“You’re not saving the patient, nor are you paying the money back?!“I’ll sue you!”“You’ll sue?!”Rayne painted her eyebrows before pointing at the numbers on the wall.“Every single administration and police station phone number is here!“Call anyone you want!“If you can even scare me, I’ll grovel right in front of your faces!“You think a few outsiders can just show off in a place like this?!“Let’s see if anyone actually picks up your call!”Rayne was showing a scornful look.She was already used to cheating money out of the tourists’ pockets.Even if there were tourists who called for help, the hospital would always end up being protected.“Y
Ellen Moreno was still inebriated in the emergency room.Her face was as white as snow. She should have had her stomach emptied and her injury treated already, but the medical staff left her in the room without doing anything to her.Harvey York frowned before pressing on Ellen’s stomach. Then, he lifted her and told Julian York to grab a trashcan. Ellen seemed a lot relieved when she puked out most of the alcohol.After Irene applied some medicine in the emergency room to deal with Ellen’s injuries, she was later put in a wheelchair.Soon after, Harvey and the others were preparing to leave.Frantic footsteps could suddenly be heard, along with relentless screaming.There were security guards trying to get inside the emergency room.Harvey calmly gave a look before Julian took a step forward.The door was instantly kicked wide open.Eight towering security guards were sent flying before they slammed into Rayne Bell. It was an utterly horrible sight.Almost at the same time,
After seeing Nellie Padlow being this unreasonable, Irene Johnson could not help but speak up.“What do you mean by slander?!“We’re stating facts here!“You have accepted payment to treat the patient, and yet you’re here running around meeting some goddess instead of doing your job!“You let your patients rot in the emergency room for half an hour, and then you refuse to reimburse us for the deposit!“What kind of morals does the hospital even have?!“This isn’t even a hospital at all. This is just a thieves’ den!Irene then took out her phone before she coldly exclaimed, “I’ll report this to the FDA right now!”Harvey York calmly glanced at Nellie before he gestured to Julian York to keep Ellen Moreno safe.Irene’s strong words made Nellie feel like this was going to be a difficult situation. Nellie showed a cold gaze before she waved her hand, calling dozens of security guards to surround Harvey and the others.Then, she disdainfully clapped her hands and revealed her slen
After a moment, Nellie Padlow finally returned to her senses.She held her stomach while furiously glaring at Harvey York.“How dare you kick me, you b*stard?!“Do you know who I am?!”“You’re just an immoral owner of the hospital, aren’t you?” replied Harvey.“I got the right person, didn’t I?”“You…Nellie was furious when she saw Harvey’s calm expression on his face.“Go! Get him! Every single one of you!” she exclaimed while pointing at Harvey.“I’ll take responsibility for this!”Dozens of security guards completely surrounded Harvey while showing wretched smiles.Irene Johnson was utterly shocked by the sight. She had never been in a situation like this, nor did she think the hospital would be this unreasonable.“Look out, Sir York!” exclaimed Irene instinctively.Rayne Bell let out a cold chuckle.“This kid’s dead for going against the director!“It doesn’t matter if he’s careful. He’s dead for sure!”The patients and medical staff watching the show could not hel
Harvey York frowned.Safe to say that Blackburn City was utterly lawless.Conspiring with a government official like this was clearly a bit too much.Nellie Padlow thought that Harvey was scared when she saw his face.She quickly regained her courage as she gritted her teeth.“What? You’re scared now?” she glared at Harvey with a cold smile.“Do you finally understand what you did wrong?“There’s still time to beg!“If you don’t do that, don’t blame me for what happens next!”Nellie told Rayne Bell to get the other medical staff and security guards. Harvey and the others were completely surrounded inside and out.The people were fiercely glaring at Harvey and the others. They were confident their numbers were enough to intimidate them.Nellie became more arrogant after seeing the sight.“Grovel and lick my shoe clean, kid!” she exclaimed after letting out a cold chuckle.“If not, you and your friends will have to stay behind bars for a while!”Irene Johnson was starting t
Nellie Padlow felt overjoyed when she saw the man show up. She immediately hugged the man’s arms with a tender look before she whispered, “Perfect timing, Inspector Miller! That b*stard there called us immoral before he started slapping everyone around!“He even kicked me in the stomach!“You need to take him in! He needs to think about what he’s done. He needs to know what’ll happen if he opposes me!”Nellie pointed at Harvey York with a high and mighty expression on her face.Rayne Bell and the others spoke up in unison, screaming at Harvey for being unreasonable and causing trouble.“What? Who hit Director Padlow?!“In broad daylight?!“Doesn’t the law even matter?!Inspector Miller coldly glared at Harvey. After realizing that Harvey was not from the South Sea, Inspector Miller let out a cold chuckle.“Take him back! We’ll have a nice long chat with him after that!“Execute him immediately if he even resists!”Harvey showed a faint smile before he squinted at Inspector M
The crowd went dead silent.‘This tourist is a little too cocky!’‘Inspector Miller already gave up, but he’s still trying to exploit him! This is just awful!’Inspector Miller stumbled off the ground. He could not tell just how powerful Harvey York actually was when he looked into his eyes again.He was boiling with anger.“Don’t you dare cross the line, kid…” exclaimed Inspector Miller resentfully.Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Inspector Miller’s face.“You should know when to admit to your faults.”“How do you not understand such a simple concept?”Inspector Miller clenched his fist while he gritted his teeth. He wanted to gun Harvey down then and there but could not muster the strength to do that.“I’m sorry!”Naturally, he was not afraid of Harvey. He was actually afraid of Inspector Failes.He would not dare go against Harvey since that was the case.After hearing the apology, Harvey stepped forward before patting Inspector Miller’s face.“Leave!”
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
