Rooster’s eyes kept twitching when he saw the sight. He wanted to step forward, but he realized that his body had constantly been trembling.Rooster barely managed to squeeze out his last bit of courage when he glared at Harvey York.“Who are you, kid?” he asked with a cold glare.He had been training in the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance for many years. He also had fought many experts in his lifetime.He had gone up against a lot of thugs in the Golden Triangle before as well, but it was his first time seeing someone as headstrong as Harvey.Bam!Harvey swung his feet forward without wasting a single second.Rooster instinctively blocked with his hands but was instantly snapped in half.He was sent flying into a marble pillar before sliding down slowly.Blood flowed from every single orifice. He was in extreme pain. He wanted to say something but could not utter a single word in the end.‘He’s insane!’Harvey’s strength was just terrifying. The crowd would not even da
Gael Padlow’s face darkened immediately.“Take down one more if you dare!”Slap!“Here you go. What are you going to do about it?”Gael was instantly driven mad. He was filled with unbridled rage after seeing Harvey York slap his subordinate around.This was not a challenge. This was pure provocation.A few beautiful women could not see Harvey’s face clearly, but they already decided he was just some country bumpkin judging from his clothes.‘How dare someone like him even challenge the likes of Young Master Padlow?’‘He must have a death wish or something!’‘This is the Lost City Bar, the biggest night attraction in Blackburn City!’‘Gael has the support from both the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance and the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance!’‘How dare a country bumpkin even try going against someone like that?!’‘What a joke!’‘Even movies aren’t written this way!’‘Even novels shouldn’t be written like this!’Harvey slammed Rooster’s head to the ground before kicki
Rhett Padlow casually nodded after hearing his son’s words.He took a step forward before glaring at Harvey York disdainfully.He took the cigar Gael Padlow had brought before lighting it up. After blowing out a puff of smoke, he squinted at Harvey and asked, “So, you’re the one who hurt my kid?“Since you’re quite the character yourself…“Kneel, apologize, and call me ‘Daddy’!“Then, break both of your arms.“Right, leave that woman here for me and my son to play with!“Only then I’ll let you off the hook for hurting my son!“If not, I’ll drown you in the goddamn ocean tonight!”Rhett was being a lot more arrogant compared to his son.Harvey lightly chuckled after seeing the conceited expression on Rhett’s face.“Vice Leader Padlow, right? You’re the vice leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance. You’re a man with immense status…“Don’t you have principles? Are you not going to be reasonable about this? Doesn’t the law matter to you?“Why don’t you ask why I cri
Rhett Padlow showed a cold look before he opened his eyes.“I wanted to deal with this as an ordinary father, kid!“I can’t be bothered to fight someone like you anyway…“But since you’re still this unapologetic…“Then don’t blame me for what happens next! You’ll know the consequences of going against the Padlow family soon enough!”Rhett slowly took off his jacket and handed it to a woman beside him before cracking his neck. He did seem like quite the experienced fighter at this moment.Screams and cheers of excitement could be heard all over the place. Nobody here had seen Rhett throw any punches before. They were all exhilarated when they finally got the chance to witness his greatness.After waving at everyone, gesturing for them to calm down, Rhett lunged forward before appearing right in front of Harvey York and throwing a kick.The power and speed of the kick were overwhelming. It was clear just how strong Rhett actually was.Boom!Rhett did not hold back at all. He us
Harvey York’s movements were swift, making Gael Padlow and the others change their expressions while instinctively taking a few steps back.Gael was utterly shocked. He could feel a terrifying aura from Harvey’s slap.“Hyah!”Rhett had no time even to dodge the attack.He could only scream and cross his arms in front of him to brace himself.That said, it was all useless in front of Harvey.As soon as Rhett put his guard up, Harvey’s slap immediately landed on his face at lightning speed.Slap!Rhett felt a sharp pain on his face before he blacked out.He slammed right into the people behind him like a dead dog.A dozen people were knocked to the ground. It was a horrible sight.Gael was knocked off as well. His arms covered in plasters were hurting badly. If nobody were there to lift him, he would not be able to get up on his own.Rhett slammed right into the marble wall, instantly forming cracks similar to a spider web.His body then slowly slid down as he showed a horri
“Oh? Are you calling people?“You’re getting backup now?Harvey York calmly smiled.“Then, I’ll give you ten minutes.“I’ll kneel if the person you calls manages to scare me.“If not, you and your baby boy will have to kneel instead!”Gael Padlow and Rhett Padlow’s faces instantly turned dark before they looked at each other with wretched smiles.Obviously, they both knew who was coming.Vroom!In just ten minutes, the door was kicked open once again.A group of people in robes walked inside with cold expressions.A middle-aged man was standing in front.His face was as sharp as a blade, with a scar showing from the corner of his left eye to the right side of his chin.Not only did the scar not hurt his facial features, but his fierce attitude was also emphasizing it. It was apparent that he was an extremely prominent figure.Harvey squinted at the person while Julian York frowned behind him.“Sir York, this is the leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, Chas
“I’m not scared of whoever’s behind you either. I’ll dig out every single person who’s on your side!“I’ll make them all pay!”Chase Smith was being extremely dominant. He was prepared to crush anybody in his way.Harvey York took a sip of his wine before showing a faint smile.“As expected from Leader Smith. What a majestic and dominant man!“If I heard you correctly, you’re planning to take advantage of everyone here, right?”“Damn straight I am!” exclaimed Chase with a cold look.“You’re not happy about it?“Then, come at me!“I’ll let you have a taste of your own blood!Chase then pointed at Harvey.“Stand up and show me your face!”The beautiful women felt weak when they saw the sight.‘He’s too strong!’‘Leader Smith’s so dominant! That’s what a real man looks like!’Harvey crossed his arms and legs while raising his head with a disdainful look.The crowd scoffed when they saw the sight.‘What the Hell?!’‘Is he still trying to show off?!’‘He has a death wish
“This kid’s just a kept man, Leader Smith! Why are you hitting your face in front of him?” asked Rhett Padlow instinctively.Slap!Before Rhett even finished talking, Chase Smith instantly swung the back of his palm across Rhett’s face.Rhett crashed into the marble wall once again. He could not crawl back up for the longest time.“Why did you hit me, Leader Smith?!”The others were surprised when they saw the sight. They did not understand why he hit himself and Rhett when he was supposed to be there to help the Padlow family.Gael Padlow was shocked.“Did you have too much to drink, Leader Smtih? You’re supposed to go against this b*stard here, not my father…”Slap!Chase also sent Gael flying to his father. The two lay flat on the wall without moving a single muscle.Harvey York squinted with a profound look on his face.“Looks like your reputation isn’t good enough in the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, Leader Smith.“Not only did your subordinates follow suit whe
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
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
