“Are you really that useless?Harvey York showed a confused expression while staring at the man on the ground.‘Judging from the attitude, he’s probably a prominent figure of the Skeleton Gang…‘And then what happened?‘He’s out for the count after I kick him a few times.‘Isn’t this the Skeleton Gang Kellan Ruiz warned me about?‘Maybe he’s just trying to scare me off…’Before Harvey could even say anything, a few men screamed in rage before they pounced forward while gritting their teeth.They were carrying daggers, firearms, and crossbows with murderous intent exuding from their bodies!“Harvey! Look out!” Kairi Patel exclaimed after coming out from the back of the car.She was about to pull the trigger on one of the charging men…But she ran out of bullets.“Vice Head!”After seeing the man who passed out on the ground, the others were boiling with anger.“You b*stard! How dare you do this to the vice head?!”“We’ll kill you!”A man with a skull tattoo on his face g
Slap slap slap!While the man was sent flying, Harvey York rushed right into the crowd of men.The men immediately trembled before instinctively taking a few steps back…But Harvey was faster. His palm immediately made contact with every single one of their faces.His movements were as quick as lightning.While Kairi Patel and the elderly man were completely stunned by the sight, Harvey fiercely swung his palm around without hesitation.Men in black shirts were flying all over the place before the last one collapsed.He quickly groveled on the ground without pause.“I was wrong! Please! Spare me!”He had a chance to pull the trigger but could not muster the strength to do it.Harvey wasted no time sending this person flying with a kick. Nobody knew whether he was alive or not when he slammed onto the ground again.“We have rules in the underworld, friend. We don’t kill people who surrender.”The man in a grey robe frowned after seeing the sight.The young people behind him
“Oh? Is that so?“So, you’re the kind of man who seeks gratitude?Kairi Patel chuckled before lifting Harvey York’s chin with a finger.“How about this? I can give you my body for the rest of my life.”Harvey’s face turned bright red before letting out a cough.“That’s a pretty unconventional offer!“Normally, you should be doing my bidding for the rest of my life instead!”Kairi let out a scoff.“That’s for people who aren’t as good-looking. Of course, I’d have to give my body to someone as handsome as you.”Harvey smiled sheepishly.“I’ll have to respectfully decline your offer.“I’m just doing my duty, after all.”Kairi frowned after hearing Harvey’s words.“Are you calling me ugly?” Harvey chuckled.“Maybe I’m just a man with some decency!”Kairi was so angry that she almost broke a tooth gritting her teeth.‘People are lining up straight to Wolsing just to pursue me!‘And yet this b*stard won’t even choose me?!’Harvey let out another cough after seeing Kairi’s
“Your savior?”Ari Foster was confused. She could not understand what Kairi Patel meant.Kairi pointed at Harvey York.“There! That’s him! Harvey!“He was the one who saved me on the plane too.“That means he already saved me twice already.“Twice?Ari showed an odd expression as she glanced at Harvey.“Him?“He’s your savior?”Kairi merely smiled.“That’s right! I was planning to give him my body as well!“Though, it’s a shame that he didn’t want me…”Ari’s expression turned glacial before she glared at Harvey.“Go! Take this man down!“Kill him if he even tries to resist!”Kairi’s expression changed.“What is the meaning of this?”Ari let out a cold chuckle.“A young man like him actually managed to take out a King of Arms from one of the sacred martial arts training grounds…“He must be one of them!“Go!”Ari’s subordinates pulled out their firearms with cold glares, prepared to pull the trigger if Harvey even attempted anything.Harvey casually put away his p
Ari Foster showed a cold smirk when she squinted at Harvey York.The man furiously screamed at Harvey.“How dare you do this to me?! Do you have a death wish or something?!”Bam!Harvey instantly kicked the man and sent him flying before slamming onto the ground unconscious.Harvey’s decisiveness completely shocked the entire crowd.After all, he was also highly skillful.“Who the Hell are you, you b*stard?!” Ari exclaimed.Harvey could not be bothered to give any sort of reply. He immediately pointed his firearm in another direction before pulling the trigger.Bang!Sounds of overlapping gunshots and screams were heard. All the people surrounding Harvey were lying on the ground while holding their legs the next moment.Gaspian Patel and the others quickly changed their expressions when they saw the sight.Naturally, they did not expect Harvey would even do this.Ari was completely enraged after seeing the sight.“How dare you lay your hands on one of my men?! Do you have
After saving Kairi Patel, Harvey York left the scene for her to clean up.He believed that she would handle everything properly, judging from her abilities.Then, he called Thomas Burton for him to drive them both to a place to eat.Harvey wanted to go to a roadside stall, but Thomas insisted on treating him to a good meal. The two then went to the Golden Sands Hotel.Thomas was extremely quiet while he was on the road. He did not say a single word after seeing the bloodshed in front of him just now. He did not ask Harvey about the details, as if nothing had happened.Harvey felt impressed by Thomas’ attitude. Safe to say that he was a man who would achieve great things but was only hindered by luck for the moment.Soon after, the car was parked in front of the Golden Sands Hotel. Thomas quickly pulled out a bank card and gave it to Harvey when he remembered something.“Here’s 7.3 million dollars, Sir York. This is all I have for now.“Give this to Mandy Zimmer. Tell her that t
After hearing Thomas Burton’s sigh, Harvey York could clearly feel the weariness of a man.Harvey frowned.“Who’s been causing you trouble?“Even your past competitors wouldn’t do something like this to waste their own energy, right?”Thomas let out a bitter chuckle.“One of them was my good friend, and the other was the woman I loved…“Not only did they get together after my downfall, but they also kept trampling all over me!“Then, I found out that my friend had been siphoning money from me for the past few years…“That woman had been colluding with him too…“I’m a fool. I didn’t even realize that I was already betrayed.“They won’t let me rise again, no matter what.“They know that I’ll crush them the moment I do.“That’s why I quit doing business. I have a car with me here. Maybe I’ll try chauffeuring…“Those people will be at ease and I’ll be relieved as well.“When I’m done dealing with my matters, I’ll finally retire and return to my hometown.”Thomas seemed quite
“She’s my ex, Sydney Lee.“We were together for many years. I loved her. I wanted to give her the entire world.“But I never knew she hooked up with my good friend for so long!“After my assets and business were frozen by the government, not only did she take away the money I had left, she conspired with my good friend to trick me into signing a contract, forcing me to put up with all that debt…“Thank goodness I got lucky. I would’ve sent those b*stards to jail by now if that weren’t the case!“That said, I must thank Mandy Zimmer for saving me back then…”A sense of respect was showing on Thomas Burton’s face.Harvey York smiled.“Do you still hate her?”“Of course, but I thought about it for a few days…Thomas showed a stern expression.“Hating on a woman is the most useless thing I can do.“If I have power, I should be taking revenge instead.“It’s a shame that I have none. I can’t do anything except try my best to survive.“I have no right to take revenge.“No matte
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
