“Hahaha!”Allen Olford burst out laughing after seeing everyone’s shock on their faces.Soon, he respectfully walked toward Chase Smith and the others.“You’re here, Director!”“Leader! Fancy seeing you here!”“Representative Moreno! What an esteemed guest! We’ll have to get drunk tonight!”Allen was also quite surprised.It was still normal for the first-in-command of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to show up, but Gordon Moreno and Chase were both highly prominent figures!With their identities, they would never show up at such an event.That said, Allen had no time to think about this at all. Noemi’s praise was enough for him to be in a trance.He boldly stepped forward to show off his acquaintance with those people.The first-in-command showed an odd expression after seeing Allen. Gordon coldly scoffed while Trey showed a faint smile…Chase, on the other hand, stepped out before swinging his palm forward.Slap!A loud slap was heard!Allen stumbled around, almos
“How is this even possible?“Why did this happen?”Ellen Moreno’s entire body was shaking.She was still looking up to Allen Olford just a minute ago, hoping that Eden Cobb would become a man like that…But a minute later, Allen was lying on the ground while getting thrown around like a punching bag.Ellen could not accept that fact.Even Eden shivered when his face had completely lost color. He could feel something in his heart collapsing at this very moment.“Alright, Leader Smith. It’s bad to spill blood on the opening day.”Right as Allen’s face was as swollen as a pig, a calm voice could be heard when he would not even dare to speak himself.It did not matter if Allen died or not…But a person’s death would surely affect Harvey’s business.Ellen and the others instinctively turned around before showing playful smiles when they saw that Harvey was the one who spoke up.“Who do you think you are? You’re nothing in front of Leader Smith, you…”Eden went dead silent befor
Allen Olford quickly came to his senses and crawled toward Harvey York before he started groveling right in front of him.“I’m sorry, Governor York! I was just ignorant! I didn’t know anything!“Please be the bigger person and let me go! Just pretend that I was clowning around!Then, Allen kept slapping himself around nonstop.“Please! Give me a chance!”All of his trusted subordinates slammed their knees to the ground in fear after seeing the sight.They all also have heard of Harvey’s great achievements.Soon, a whole group of people was kneeling with their backs straight in front of Harvey’s store.Noemi Moreno and the others were completely stunned when their eyes were frantically twitching.They could not understand why Allen was just about to teach Harvey a lesson a minute ago…And then he was acting like a scared cat right after that.‘Are you kidding me?!’‘Isn’t Harvey just a country bumpkin?!’‘Does he have another identity?!’‘How did he manage to get Allen to
Grandma Cobb looked as if she had been dead for three whole days.Then, Gordon Moreno stepped up while laughing heartily.“Congratulations on your opening, Harvey York!“Here’s a gift on behalf of the South Sea Marital Arts Alliance! I hope you like it!”Gordon then waved his hand before a few disciples of the organization brought over a plaque.The plaque had four words written on it.“Cobb family’s Silver Elixir!”Other than that, the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance’s signature was also left under the plaque.Without any promises or orders…It was clear that the organization was planning to buy all of its ointments from Harvey!More importantly, with the plaque here, nobody would dare go against Harvey, even if the business were to expand in the city.At this point, the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance was clearly on his side!The benefits were endless!“What?!”Noemi Moreno and the others understood that fact.When they saw the sight, they could not help but stumble on
“Harvey York…”Ellen Moreno was completely stunned when she stared at the man she had never once looked up to…An unbelievable thought came to her mind.Eden Cobb was one of the most well-known young masters in the city, but if he wanted all of those prominent figures to respect him and earn the plaque…It would be challenging, to say the least.Even if he actually could, he would need at least decades to do so!And with Eden’s capabilities, he would never be able to accomplish something like this!Unless he became a God of War, of course…But how was he going to do that when he could barely even fight?What a joke!Ellen was filled with despair and regret after realizing all this.“Harvey’s the true prominent figure here, after all.“He’s so strong that the three great families are just jokes to him.“He doesn’t care about anything. He doesn’t get mad not because he’s weak and powerless…“He’s acting this way because nothing truly matters in his eyes!“I thought he was
What a total shame. Grandma Cobb chased Katy Cobb out of the family to let Eden Cobb rise to power. In return, she threw away their best opportunity for the family to prosper.The future of the family was gone. They managed to offend an unimaginably powerful character in the process.Everyone instinctively glared at Grandma Cobb, full of hatred and disdain.They wanted to know just how she was going to deal with the situation.Grandma Cobb furiously held her cane as she gritted her teeth.She knew full well that there was no way out of the situation anymore.Safe to say that the family had no choice but to endure the humiliation while Harvey York and Katy basked in glory.She wanted to become a God of War herself and slap Harvey to the ground so badly.“Grandma Cobb…Katy casually walked out from behind Harvey.“Are you regretting your decisions now?”Grandma Cobb’s eyes frantically twitched. She was getting hysterical, as if this was the last straw.“Who are you calling th
‘Sided with justice?’‘Do what’s right?’The Cobb family was on the verge of coughing out blood after hearing those words.‘You lying sack of sh*t!’Before the Cobb family even said another word, Gael Padlow immediately spoke up with a righteous look.“You people are shameless, hoping to quietly move all of Katy’s assets away after I sue her!“But a just man like me would never stand with you scoundrels!“I agreed to work with you people. I even made you believe that I was actually beaten up by Sir York!“You fell right into my trap, and that was when I stopped suing Katy and returned her assets where they belonged!“The procedures were all prepared soon after that!”Harvey showed an odd look when he glanced at Gael.Actually, he begged to be Harvey’s subordinate, yet he acted all high and mighty about the entire situation.As expected from a true talent…Harvey could not be bothered to expose him, though. He was fine with it as long as it had the same effect.Grandma Cob
Without question, Grandma Cobb was getting extremely desperate.The things she should not have said were all flooding right out of her mouth.‘He has no power yet wants the family to crumble?‘What a joke!’In her brilliant mind, a God of War, let alone some random stranger, meant nothing to her.Noemi and Ellen Moreno felt relieved after hearing Grandma Cobb’s words.After all, Harvey York had no way to crush the Cobb family, no matter how powerful he was.The Cobb family was still one of the three great families!The Cobb family was still in Grandma Cobb’s total control!The Cobb family’s next successor was still destined to be Eden Cobb!So what if they were being disrespected at this moment?The only thing that mattered was the assets!“Is that so?Harvey showed a faint smile before snapping his fingers.“Looks like you were right after all, Elder Cobb.“The person who poisoned you has been the one you held most dear!”An exhausted voice could be heard from inside t
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
