Waylon Sacket pressed on Chana Jackson’s wrist before moving his fingers away while squinting.After a few minutes, Darius Jackson could not help but speak.“What happened to my daughter?“Can she be saved?”The Jackson family had an immensely successful business but did not understand the martial arts field.Darius also had no time to look for a so-called expert from the sacred martial arts training grounds. He already put all hope in the man his wife brought over.“This is bad! Really bad!Waylon frowned with a stern look on his face.“The young lady only got into an ordinary car crash, but she’s also been practicing in hidden martial arts, causing her energy to surge out of control…“The energy would usually be able to strengthen her body…“But now, this has become her deadliest poison!“This is very bad!”Darius’ expression instantly darkened.“Even you won’t be able to help her?” he asked.“Not quite.Waylon stroked his beard, smiling faintly.“I’m saying it’ll be
Waylon Sacket’s movements were slow and steady.Everyone could clearly tell Chana Jackson regained the color on her face soon after. Her breathing also seemed to be back to normal.The equipment around kept beeping as if she was just about to recover.Maren Failes felt relieved after seeing the sight.“As expected from a man of this caliber!”Harvey York frowned while he glared at Waylon’s movements.Right when he was about to tap on Chana’s stomach, Harvey immediately spoke.“Stop!” he coldly exclaimed.“You need to stop this right now!“Are you trying to kill her or something?!”Waylon’s body shuddered, causing him to miss.He angrily glared at Harvey afterward.“Where did you learn the Devil’s Hand?” asked Harvey coldly.Waylon’s eyes twitched with a horrible expression after hearing those words.‘How could he tell what I was doing?’He learned the trick all the way back from Seed Frontier. The Devil’s Hand could temporarily bring back a person on the verge of death,
Darius Jackson was an upperclassman. He remained calm the whole time before he spoke.“I know you mean well, Director Failes!“I know you’re trying to amend your mistakes for doing this!“But you can’t be causing trouble like this!”Darius was showing a cold expression.“Besides, we already lost all hope of the hospital, let alone the so-called genius here!“Please leave right now!”Mrs. Jackson was filled with rage.“Out!“All of you!“If it weren’t for you people, my daughter would’ve been wide-awake by now!“If she dies because of this, I’ll settle scores with each of you!”Harvey York was not aggravated since he understood where Mrs. Jackson was coming from.“Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, I seriously think there’s something wrong with this man.“It’s best for you to trust me.”“Is that so?“You’re still trying to show off in front of us?Mrs. Jackson showed a cold expression.“You’re a young man, yet all you know is just to pretend!“Where do you think we are?!“This is
“Waylon here knows he won’t be able to save Ms. Jackson.“That’s why he’s trying to use the Devil’s Hand to expend her remaining life force.“He’d be able to take the money and go wherever he wants.“Even if the Jackson family is influential, as long as he goes to Wolsing, Mordu, or even out of the country, what can you even do about that?Harvey York’s calm words were piercing Waylon Sacket’s heart.“I know you’re trying to make a big buck, Waylon.“But you, of all people, should know that the Jackson family is not to be trifled against.”“You’d be lucky if you manage to slip away after fooling them…“But if they keep you here for more than twenty-four hours, you’ll be dead without a doubt!“If I were you, I’d stop taking this risk. You understand, right?”Then, Harvey left with his arms crossed.“This is slander!“I’ll sue you for this!Waylon was utterly enraged.“How dare you insult me like this?! This is simply untrue!”Mrs. Jackson nodded.“You’re extremely well-k
Waylon Sacket’s movements were nimble and quick. He looked nothing like an elderly man at all.Darius Jackson completely froze after seeing the sight. He finally came to his senses before rushing to the window.Waylon had already stumbled his way to an unregistered van before it drove off.“Goddamnit! After him!“Get that old b*stard back here!”Darius gritted his teeth.The entire place was dead silent. Everyone looked at each other without knowing what to say.***Right as Waylon was running for his life.Harvey York and Maren Failes came to Watson Braff’s sick room not far away.He was in a deep sleep with a few inspectors keeping watch outside.The inspectors respectfully bowed after seeing Harvey show up.“Master York!”Naturally, they knew Harvey was the one who saved Watson. They also knew he had a good relationship with Soren Braff.After checking on Watson’s complexion and the equipment surrounding him, he left the room soon after.Maren brought Harvey to the VI
Knock knock knock!Someone knocked on the door before it was opened.Mrs. Jackson’s panicked yet beautiful face could be seen with a few bodyguards behind her.She nodded in front of Maren Failes before rushing right toward Harvey York.“I believe you now!“Take a look at my daughter this instant!”Harvey’s ability was already proven after seeing Waylon fleeing from the scene.Along with surveillance footage proving that Harvey saved Chana during the car crash, the truth was more evident than ever.That was why Mrs. Jackson came over immediately.That said, because of her prideful attitude, her words were still filled with a sense of righteousness despite coming for Harvey’s help.It was as if Harvey had no choice but to help her.Harvey casually sipped his tea without even batting an eye at Mrs. Jackson.“I’m sorry, but I’m not a doctor. Get someone else to help.”Mrs. Jackson’s face froze before she showed a cold glare.“Don’t you understand me, kid?!“My daughter’s si
Naturally, Mrs. Jackson had seen many people who pretended to be high and mighty.Most of them would flaunt their morals just for a quick buck!And then what?All of them would bend their bodies to the sight of money anyway!Harvey York did not even glance at the checkbook while calmly sipping his tea.“Leave. We don’t welcome you here.”“You…Mrs. Jackson was utterly agitated by Harvey’s words.“Do you know the consequences of going against me like this, Harvey?” she exclaimed with a fierce look.“I’ll chase you out of Golden Sands with a single phone call!“I’ll even make everyone around you suffer!”Mrs. Jackson’s threats were frightening.Harvey raised his head before looking at Mrs. Jackson.“Just you?“You don’t have the right.”“You…Mrs. Jackson was trembling in anger.She thought she had already been polite enough, and yet Harvey was still being this disrespectful. ‘He obviously has a death wish!Mrs. Jackson could not be bothered to talk any longer.“Com
‘Director Braff?!‘Soren Braff himself?!Mrs. Jackson’s expression changed despite her prideful attitude.“Harvey York’s with the Braff family?”“Master York is the family’s most esteemed guest!” exclaimed the inspector coldly.“I know the Jackson family is quite powerful, Mrs. Jackson…“But I’m warning you. You better treat Master York with respect!“If not, we won’t hold back for anyone! Not even Darius Jackson!”The inspector’s words were concise and decisive.Harvey lightly nodded at him before casually pouring himself another cup of tea.“Sir York was also the one who saved Watson’s life,” Maren Failes interjected.‘Isn’t he just a doctor who’s a little capable?‘Isn’t he just some martial artist?‘How did he become Watson Braff’s savior?‘How is he the Braff family’s esteemed guest?’Only the high and mighty Mrs. Jackson could not accept the fact.She knew that the inspectors were clearly showing Soren’s will.No matter how powerful the Jackson family was, they w
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
