Kellan Ruiz showed a faint smile before he reached out to slap Harvey York’s face.Tap!Harvey instantly snatched Kellan’s hand with a smile.“Are you trying to take advantage of me, CEO Ruiz?”“Take advantage?Kellan shook off Harvey’s hand before looking at him curiously. He did not expect that Harvey would dare fight back.“In this day and age, the strong survive!“Power is everything!“You’re weak! That’s why you should be taken advantage of!“Am I wrong?!”“Don’t waste your time on this man, CEO Ruiz!Westin Miller let out a cold chuckle from the second floor.“Just break his limbs! I do want to see if he’ll keep yapping after that!”Clearly, Westin was completely enraged after Harvey’s gift and car humiliated him.He was the son of the Deepsky Corporation’s chairman. His father had billions of dollars worth of assets…But as a wealthy heir with an immense reputation, he was still utterly embarrassed by a live-in son-in-law.This was just unforgivable!He would be
If saying that Harvey York slapped Kellan Ruiz to the ground was because he was caught off guard…Then, the dozen gangsters who were sent flying should have been enough to prove Harvey’s capabilities.The arrogant Westin and Harley Miller were utterly shocked when they showed utter disbelief on their faces.“He’s that good at fighting?!”“How is this possible?!’“No wonder he isn’t scared to come here alone! He’s pretty skilled, after all!”The wealthy heirs looked at each other after realizing Harvey’s strength. All their faces were bright red at that moment.After all, the people who were slapped aside were not just ordinary fighters. They were all fighters of the Newgate Chamber of Commerce!After being trained by Kellan himself, those people could go against ten people on their own!‘How did they become so weak?!’Kellan could not believe what he just witnessed with his own eyes.He stumbled off the ground before showing unbridled rage when he felt the sharp pain on his
‘Call whoever I want?’Kellan Ruiz was on the verge of coughing out blood after hearing those words.He was the one who would usually say things like that before trampling on the support.What a truly refreshing feeling…He never expected that the tables would turn like this.Kellan was filled with utter hatred.He was the man in charge of the Newgate Chamber of Commerce, yet he finally met his match.He felt utterly resentful. He was completely embarrassed.He wanted to say something to regain some of his pride…But he knew he would be humiliated even more if he decided to do that.He would only be beaten up even more.“Just you wait, kid! I don’t need Heaven’s Gate to take care of you!” exclaimed Kellan coldly.“The organization has hundreds of brothers and a dozen experts!“They’ll take you out easily!”Kellan started making calls at this moment.Naturally, he was prepared to summon the entire organization.Westin Miller came to his senses. He was filled with disdain
Kellan Ruiz immediately regained his courage after seeing his cavalry.Naturally, those people were all talented fighters from the organization who usually fought to expand their turf.Kellan waved his hand without saying a word. It was quite a fierce sight.“Go! Cripple this b*stard!” he coldly exclaimed while pointing at Harvey York.“I’ll take responsibility if he dies!”The hundred people wasted no time dragging their steel pipes across the ground while they charged at Harvey.Harvey heaved a sigh. He would have already called Rachel Hardy or Trey Bierstadt to help if he knew this would happen.After all, it was pretty lame for him to deal with a few small fries.Harvey showed pity when he stepped forward before swinging the back of his palm forward.Slap!Kellan was sent flying before knocking dozens of people behind him to the ground. Soon after, he was again wailing in pain on the ground because of his broken hand.The dozens of people were stumbling around. Some trie
A thought came into Kellan Ruiz’s mind…‘Speed is the only way to long success!‘Is this guy so swift that he can ignore every principle and rule of martial arts?!‘That’s impossible!‘He’s so young! He can’t possibly have that kind of knowledge already!‘People who achieve this feat are all Gods of War!‘And the Gods of War in Country H aren’t this young either!Kellan pondered for a moment before deducing that Harvey York was probably a King of Arms and that it would be troublesome for him to deal with.He secretly pulled out his phone, thinking of calling for more reinforcement.‘If he’s really a King of Arms, these people won’t be able to do anything!’Westin Miller and the dozen others were completely shocked when they saw the sight.In their minds, Harvey should have been surrounded and beaten to a pulp, even if he did not die.Nobody expected that Harvey was actually this impressive.He already dealt with nearly half of the fighters here with little effort!This wa
Harvey York calmly stepped forward before swinging his palm across the fighters charging right at him.The slaps were not as fierce as the kicks, but people were still being sent flying all over the place.Screams of pain were heard everywhere.In a blink of an eye, Harvey easily thwarted the remaining fighters.Piles of bodies were lying behind him.When Harvey finally slapped the last fighter to the ground, nobody else was left standing.Harvey hooked his finger before Kellan Ruiz when he looked as if he bit into a bitter gourd.“Come on then. Show me more.”Kellan succumbed instantly.“Don’t… Don’t come any closer!“Go! All of you!”Kellan stumbled back while he trembled incessantly.His expressions were only filled with shock, resentment, and utter helplessness.It was a shame that his fighters were incapable of protecting him anymore.Some of them were incapacitated, but more of them just lost their will to fight.After all, Harvey was extremely terrifying.He mana
Westin Miller did not even know how to feel at this moment.He planned to use Kellan Ruiz’s strength to trample all over the live-in son-in-law who stole his woman…Not only did that plan fail, but Kellan was also utterly humiliated.‘I’m the son of Deepsky Corporation’s chairman!‘How did it turn out like this?!Resentment came into his mind as he gritted his teeth.“So what if you can fight?!“Do you think you can confront a billion-dollar corporation just by fighting?!“It doesn’t matter if you can fight! You can’t win against a damn gun!”Westin’s gut twisted the more he tried to comfort himself.The women around were filled with admiration and respect when they looked at Harvey York. Westin felt his heart wrenching, completely crushing him.“No! This is impossible!” he muttered to himself.Harvey stepped on Kellan’s face in front of the entrance.“Call someone then!“Get everyone from Heaven’s Gate’s branch here!“If you can’t, then bring your people from where they
Twelve o’clock at noon.Inside the Newgate Chamber of Commerce’s CEO office.Harvey York sat crossed-legged on his chair. He calmly sipped his tea while he looked around him.Kellan Ruiz was quite the tasteful man…The place was quite old-school, but it also seemed very luxurious. It did not seem tasteless at all.A few beautiful secretaries of the organization were in front of Harvey, making him tea while steadily fanning him.If Harvey had not declined, they would have massaged him by then.After all, they all saw what happened outside.They were filled with disdain and ridicule when they first saw Harvey, but after seeing Kellan beg for mercy while his face was being stepped on…They were utterly shocked.Only endless admiration and respect could be seen in their eyes.If Harvey asked, they would be willing to strip on the spot.It was a shame that he was not interested in them. He curiously looked at the mirror in the middle of the hall.The mirror was probably an anti
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
