A few security guards rushed out before shoving Harlem Lee out of the place.“Stay away! Every single one of you!Harlem quickly struck an impressive Taekwondo stance.Then, he furiously turned toward Harvey York.“You little b*stard!“You ungrateful b*stard!“I did so much just to save your damn skin!“It’s already bad enough that you’re this ungrateful…“But you’re even turning against me?!“I will never let you get away with this!“Just you wait!“You’re just a small boss! With my power in Country J, it’ll be easy to take you out anyway!“I know both people from the government and the underworld!“I have relations to the best Taekwondo martial artist too!“I’m also on good terms with May Lee from Star Financial Group!“You’ll suffer with just a single phone call from her!”Harlem was desperately finding a way to save himself, thinking that May would stand up for him for such a big incident.“May Lee?”Harvey smiled when he gave someone a video call before turning o
Imani froze after seeing Kade Bolton’s arrival.“Young Master Bolton?!” she exclaimed.Lola Hoffman squinted with confusion as well.She knew full well who Kade was. Her husband’s family also would often contact the Bolton family.That said, she never liked the pompous attitude Kade had.The two were not on good terms because of this.“Perfect timing, Young Master Bolton!Harlem Lee rushed over to Kade as if he were on a high!He finally found a chance to redeem himself!“You came just in time!” said Harlem in a stuttery voice.“Let me tell you something! Harvey completely disrespected you last night!“But I protected him!“I regret it now!“You don’t have to hold back for me!“Just deal with him however you want!“If you need my help, just ask!”Harlem rolled up his sleeves before showing Harvey a wretched smile.“You’re dead, punk!” he exclaimed while gritting his teeth.“Without my support, you’re dead for sure!“I’ll visit your grave this time next year too!”Im
“Prince Gibson! Prince Gibson’s my boss!Harlem Lee realized this was his last chance.He had no intention of hiding his biggest supporter anymore.“He gave you the call to let us all go last night!”“You think this is a show or something?!“Even the King himself can’t save you now!“All of you managed to get away unscathed because of Sir York!“Yet you’re here challenging him now?!“I’ll f*cking kill you!”Kade Bolton had no intention of listening to Harlem explain the situation. He furiously kicked Harlem to the ground without hesitation.Harlem froze in disbelief.‘Harvey did this?‘Impossible!‘Even Prince Gibson’s no match for him?!’Imani’s eyes were wide open. She could not believe what she just heard.She could not fathom the fact that a mere kept man was this powerful.Slap slap slap!Kade grabbed Harlem off the ground before slapping him around again. Harlem’s face was utterly swollen after a short while.Then, Kade respectfully walked toward Harvey York.“
“Are you here to apologize?Harvey York smiled faintly after seeing Kade Bolton’s attitude.“Didn’t you already do that last night?”Kade’s heart skipped a beat before bowing deeply.“Everything happened too fast last night! I couldn’t come to my senses then!“My sincerity was clearly lacking!“After pondering about it the entire night, I finally understood! You really were thinking about the family!“If it were somebody else, I would’ve turned into a missing person by now!“It’s a little presumptuous for coming here this early in the morning, but I’m really here to apologize.“My scars are all well-deserved! I even changed my ID picture like this just to remind myself!“I should be discreet and not do anything that would betray my conscience!”Imani immediately understood after hearing Kade’s sincere words.Harlem Lee had nothing to do with everyone coming out unscathed…It was safe to say that they would be gone from the face of the earth if it were not for Harvey.Afte
The other beautiful celebrities quickly scooched over for a picture after seeing Lola Hoffman and Leona Foley in front.Even Imani completely ignored her embarrassment and stood the furthest to the side just to be in the same frame as Harvey.Harlem Lee was going crazy when he saw his own woman licking Harvey’s boot without even batting him an eye.“What right do you have?!“You’re just a live-in son-in-law! What right do you have?!“Prince Gibson will never let you go for this!”Slap!Kade Bolton excitedly strutted over before slapping Harlem to the ground.He wondered when he would get another chance to perform, and Harlem immediately delivered.He slapped Harlem around without restraint, making him constantly grunt in pain.“Who the f*ck do you think you are, you b*stard?!“Do you think you can just go against Sir York like that?!“A prominent figure like him wouldn’t argue with a small fry like you!“That said, I wouldn’t just idly watch as someone disrespects him!“J
“Let bygones be bygones. We don’t have to talk about the incident anymore,” Harvey York calmly replied while looking at Kade Bolton.“We know each other now after our little exchange. Since your father and I are friends, you should just call me ‘Uncle’ instead.”Kade’s eyes twitched before he swallowed his pride.“Uncle York.”Harvey nodded.“Think about what I told you last night. To listen is a part of your luck anyway.“And don’t let me see you take advantage of people at large anymore. Understand?”His gentle words were filled with an unspeakable sense of dignity and magnitude.After all, even if Kade was impressive, he was still just a small fry. Harvey could kill him off without much effort if he wanted to.Since Kade was willing to change, Harvey put more effort into him. He would even give Kade a chance to be friends with him.“I’ll remember everything you said to me, Uncle York! I’ll recite those words every single waking moment of my life!Kade showed a sincere loo
“The Oni Blade will kill entire families!“If this is placed in a house, everyone in it will die in just three months. “Simply put, this thing alone can destroy an entire family, leaving nothing in its wake,” Harvey said calmly.Lola and Leona, then glared coldly at Kade.They didn’t think he’d do such a heinous thing in the first place.“You need to believe me, Uncle York! I bought this thing!“I didn’t mean to hurt you!”Kade shivered in fear, and quickly explained the situation.“You need to trust me! I already know my mistake!“I wouldn’t do something like this!”Kade raised his hand, swearing he would never commit such a crime.If Harvey actually deemed that he meant harm, he would end up horribly.“I know this has nothing to do with you…Harvey said calmly. He flicked a drop of blood on the Oni Blade.The blade glowed a faint light. Its evil energy dissipated instantly, shattering into pieces.At that same moment, an illusion of a baby’s face appeared. With a veng
Kade calmly walked in, a cigar in hand. He kicked down a vase from the Braided Dynasty.“Get out of here, Esther John!” he yelled.Harvey crossed his arms, and walked in without any emotion. Looking around, he saw many good items and rough gemstones on the racks. Many stone gamblers were gathered here.“Oh, my! Isn’t this Young Master Bolton?”As Harvey was scanning his surroundings, a cackle could be heard from the deeper part of Empire Hall. A beautiful woman appeared.She was wearing a dress embroidered with golden threads, looking sensual and witty. It was the same woman who fought Harvey before.Esther stopped in her tracks, and spoke in a personable tone.“Judging from the big crowd, you’re either here to destroy our things or to beat people up.“What did my subordinates do to you again?“Or are you angry that I didn’t text you back last night?”Esther squinted, looking quite grim. Obviously, she was unhappy about Kade showing up to ruin his business.“Heh, heh, heh! Y
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
