Gael Padlow showed a horrible expression when Katy Cobb completely maltreated the exchange student.He knew that he had no chance against Harvey York that day.“I admit defeat, Harvey, but there’s always plenty of time!“This woman can’t protect you forever!“I do want to see how long you’ll last like this!”He glared at Harvey while chuckling coldly, then slowly walked away.Nellie Padlow and the others scoffed.‘This outsider thinks he’s impressive just because he’s being kept by that woman…’‘There’s always time for him to suffer his fate anyway.’“Hold it!Harvey spoke up after being silent for a long while.“Did I say that any of you can leave?”Harvey’s invisible aura could be felt enveloping the entire place.He knew it would be best if he got Katy to protect him…But he finally managed to figure out her situation while listening in from the side.Judging from his way of doing things, he would not let Katy suffer for his personal gain.Everyone was showing odd lo
Nellie Padlow covered her face while she stood beside Gael Padlow.“You better know what’s best for yourself, Harvey York!“We’re already letting you off the hook for Ms. Cobb’s sake! We’re giving you a way out right now!“How dare you still ask for more?! You won’t like it if we do actually go all out against each other!”Nellie was filled with utter resentment.Not only did Harvey keep disrespecting him, he even managed to get away scot-free while slapping her around nonstop.For a prideful woman like Nellie, this was just unacceptable.After seeing Harvey recklessly challenging Gael, Nellie finally could no longer hold her feelings back.She hated kept men like Harvey the most.She believed he was just using Katy Cobb’s authority to show off!In Nellie’s mind, Harvey was no match compared to someone like Gael!She was sure Harvey would have died a thousand times already if he did not manage to hook up with Katy.“You want me to stop?”Harvey smiled faintly. He thought t
Boom!Gael Padlow was also a member of the Martial Arts Alliance. His teacher came from the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, and his father was the vice leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance.Not only was his family extremely knowledgeable in martial arts, but he was also quite a gifted man.As soon as he closed in on Harvey York, he instantly threw an immensely terrifying and fierce punch.The shame he endured because of Katy Cobb was all converted into energy that he dished out toward Harvey.According to his judgment, he was sure that every single one of Harvey’s bones would shatter, even if he did not die from the punch.“Die already!”Gael wretchedly chuckled when he pounced forward at lightning speed.The punch alone could kill a bull!To Nellie Padlow and the others, Harvey was scared witless.“You see that, Ms. Cobb?!“This is the man you chose. This is the Cobb family’s live-in son-in-law!“Other than a sharp tongue, what else can this man do?“He’s j
Gael Padlow’s face turned dark in an instant.“I’m Gael Padlow! I belong to the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance!“My teacher is the vice leader of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance!“You’ll die for doing this to me!“You shall pay!”Gael spoke up when he was lying on the ground, paralyzed.Bam!“Move.Harvey York instantly kicked Gael aside. His body flew right into a wall before he passed out with blood spurting out of his mouth.“I don’t care who you have behind you. I don’t care what kind of power you have, either.Harvey stepped forward before patting Gael’s pale face.“I’m giving you one chance. Suspend the business.“If I find out that you’re here cheating money again, then don’t blame me for what happens next.”***Nellie Padlow and the others were completely ignored.Harvey kicked the disciples aside before getting in Katy Cobb’s car while keeping Ellen Moreno safe.Then, Katy drove over to the hospital under her family’s name. After sending Ellen to the
Katy Cobb showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes before she cracked a smile again.“I didn’t believe it when people said you were a jerk…“Now, I’m pretty sure that you’re exactly that.“You’re already gone as soon as you’re done playing. You’re completely hopeless.”Harvey York’s mouth twitched. He did not know what to say against Katy’s relentless flirting.After all, it’s always the hardest to accept a beauty’s grace.Harvey would not dare go against the love of such a domineering person.Harvey had no other choice but to change the subject.“Judging from the conversation between you and Gael Padlow, your family must be in deep trouble right now.“Other than the South Sea’s royal family, the three great families have the most extraordinary background.”Katy had no intention of hiding anything from Harvey.“Other than that, the high and mighty Martial Arts Alliance, the first and second-rated families, along with some of the small forces here, have been causing chaos
Harvey York showed a profound expression on his face before he lightly chuckled.“Is it really that bad? Are you not even confident enough to keep me here?“Or are you saying you don’t want to share your earnings with me when everything’s all set and done?”“It’s not that it’s bad. I know you don’t like getting yourself in trouble,” replied Katy Cobb while looking at Harvey.“I’m already really grateful for you treating my grandfather’s wounds.“I shouldn’t be asking for more help.“Here are three first-class tickets for the plane tomorrow at eight in the morning.“I’ll invite you here again when everything’s settled. I’ll make sure to treat you kindly when the time comes.”Then, Katy set a letter in front of Harvey and looked deep into Harvey’s eyes before leaving.Harvey put his hand on the letter as he showed a faint smile behind Katy’s back.“Things are getting interesting. I’ll visit Elder Cobb tomorrow morning. If nothing’s going on, I’ll head back after that…”Harvey
“You offended Young Master Padlow just for the sake of a random stranger?”“And then you say he’s the family’s live-in son-in-law?”“How shameless can you get?”“Don’t you care about the family’s reputation?!” Eden screamed in rage.“Don’t you know that we’ve become Blackburn City’s biggest joke, all because of you?!”Eden couldn’t stop himself from rising and slapping Katy in the face.Katy couldn’t react quickly enough, and felt a sharp pain soon after.A bright red palm print could be seen clearly on her elegant, yet swollen face.Valery and several elders didn’t stop Eden at all; they expressed glee when they saw Katy slapped in the face.“I can handle my own problems. I don’t need you to teach me how to do things.”Katy endured the pain and rage in her, and took a deep breath; she knew her actions would definitely give the second and third house a reason to come at her…Still, she didn’t think that Eden and the others would be this quick to take action.“We’re not teac
Katy’s face was completely swollen after she was slapped around a bunch of times.The Cobb family were gossiping up a storm at the sight.“Katy’s such a troublemaker! She’s already hurt us once by hiding herself in Hong Kong and Las Vegas just because she didn’t want to marry someone!”“And then this happens! Does she want the entire family dead?!”“Senior Padlow’s really angry because of this! If he breaks off every single collaboration of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance with us, we’ll be losing hundreds and millions of dollars at minimum!”“Can Katy even bear the responsibility at this point?”“We all call her the master of the head house, but this is how she repays us!”The crowd kept shaking their heads.A few elders of the houses bore cold expressions; they were naturally disappointed in Katy’s actions.Katy took a deep breath.“I’ll deal with the supply rights, Eden. Now let them go…”“You’re dealing with it?”“With what? With your damn face or body?”Eden h
"Not to mention, these are weapons that Grand City's top brass directly controls. If it isn't because I've taken control over Earth Hall recently, I wouldn't have been able to take these out," Clarion said with a sigh.Harvey nodded. "Looks like letting you control Earth Hall is one of my correct decisions after coming to Grand City."Then, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. "Clarion. Take your men and attack from the outer ring. Do your best to reach the destination and save our people."Clarion blinked. "And you?"Harvey said, "Always go for the head. A truly powerful elite must be keeping an eye on everything. If we don't eliminate him, our rescue will be destined to fail."Harvey slammed his foot on the ground before jumping into the air, his figure quickly disappearing into the horizon. He noticed that there were plenty of elites converging. This was Sky Plane's territory. No matter how many he killed, his enemies would most likely swarm him.If that was the case,
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
