“No problem!“Do you need me to send a few men for you?”“Of course I do. How are people supposed to know I’m your kept man if you don’t?”Harvey hung up the phone with a profound look.Vroom!Half an hour later, a few dozen Toyota Alphards showed up with blaring horns. It was a dominant sight.Under the dim lights, almost a few hundred people came forward.These people were wearing black suits embroidered with golden threads. They held steel bats and watermelon knives with fierce looks, as if they were prominent underworld figures.That said, none of them did anything. They all orderly spread out, completely blocking every single entrance and exit of the alley.As Harvey sipped his tea, a few more Toyota Alphards drove over.Soon after, a few people walked out.A middle-aged man with golden-rimmed glasses in a trenchcoat was leading the group. He bore a lot of resemblance to Silas John.Clearly, the man was the one whom Kairi Patel mentioned, Colson John.A few beautiful
The beautiful women showed faint smiles when they looked at Harvey York, thinking he was too arrogant.Harvey glanced at the man.‘He’s either out of touch or just plain stupid.’“Don’t be reckless, Sasaki…“We’re civilized people!“We need to speak reason before anything else.Colson waved his hand to stop Sasaki Tairo before showing a faint smile.“You’re right. I’m Young Master Colson, Colson John.Harvey showed a profound smile without saying a word.“I heard of what happened in the White Swan Hotel,” said Colson casually.“It doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong.“After all, you live in the society yourself. You should know that the strong prey on the weak. There is no reason. There is no right or wrong…“I came for only one reason!“Hand me my brother, and I promise to keep your body intact when you die.“You should be satisfied with the conditions, no?”Harvey showed a faint smile.“I should be thanking you then.”“Of course you should.“After you die, I’ll ask
‘The car broke the sword from the Island Nations?!The blade was built from the highest-grade materials owned by the military.Money alone could not buy such things. People who owned these were naturally prominent figures with extraordinary identities.That said, all these only gave the right for Colson John to be slightly surprised.Harvey York faintly smiled at him. His gaze was profoundly stern and calm when he remained silent.“I know that you’re quite capable, Harvey…”Colson took a huff of his cigar.“I know you also have a pretty good relationship with Kairi Patel.“That said, do you really think you have the right to go against the John family just because of that?“Kairi’s just a woman. Do you think one can make the Patel family stand with you?“Ultimately, you’re just a live-in son-in-law who got kicked out by the Jean family’s ninth branch.“You have no right to fight us.“If I want to, I can make you die a horrible death just by moving a finger.”Colson showed
Harvey York smiled.“You should just kneel instead. It’ll save a lot of work.Harvey glanced at the watch on his wrist.“Since you’re the second eldest young master, I’ll give you two minutes to consider.“If you don’t, I’ll make you do it myself!”Colson John let out a sigh before showing a smile back.Sasaki could not help but step forward with a cold chuckle.“This can’t do, Young Master Colson. This kid’s just too good at showing off!“I’ve been in the city for so long, yet this is the first time I’ve seen someone like this!“I want him!Sasaki pointed his broken sword at Harvey’s nose.“I don’t have that much patience, kid!“I’ll give you one minute!“Bring Silas!“If you don’t, I’ll kill off every single friend and family you have in front of you before ending your life!”Along with Sasaki’s movement, the people in golden thread suits swarmed out.The beautiful women lit their thin, long cigars before blowing out puffs of smoke, thinking that Harvey was just bluff
Compared to Colson John’s extraordinary aura, Harvey York seemed like a poor sob.Harvey squinted before showing a faint smile.“So, are you saying you’ll take advantage of me?”“That’s right! Can you do anything about that?!” replied Colson with a stern expression.The beautiful women blew out puffs of smoke before bursting out in laughter.‘He’s still pretending now?!’‘What’s the damn point?!’Sasaki Tairo strutted forward with his broken sword.“You fool!“You’re still not going to kneel?!“You’re still not bringing Silas out?!“Do you want me to lash out or what?!”The people in golden threads chuckled wretchedly.Bam!At this moment, the sounds of engines could be heard from both sides of the alley, completely shaking up the silent night.Almost everyone was attracted by the loud sound.Colson and the others instinctively looked over with a cold expression.He wanted to see who was causing him trouble at that moment.His eyes frantically twitched when he saw the
“Who the hell are you, Harvey?!Colson was not an idiot. His extraordinary capabilities were enough to show that.After all, only the most talented could climb the ranks of the John family.As the top man inferior only to Blaine John, ordinary people could not imagine Colson’s either.He knew that there must have been some information he had gathered wrong.“I’ve never heard of such a prominent figure like you in the city before,” he said after taking a deep breath.Naturally, he was a pretty experienced man as well.But it was unbelievable for him to hear of such a well-known man in the city.More importantly, he could see Cliff Saban, Kellan Ruiz, Luca Robbins, and the others standing in the crowd.Those people would usually greet him politely.And yet, he seemed invisible to them at that moment. They were all politely standing beside Harvey as well.He had no choice but to reassess Harvey.“No matter the case, Golden Sands is still an ancient city.“There are thousands
The sight completely shocked everyone’s minds.The beautiful women gasped and screamed in fear. They would not dare look down on Harvey York anymore.Harvey took a step forward before calmly stepping on Sasaki Tairo’s leg.A loud crack could be heard.“Kneel!”Harvey’s calm words sounded like a sacred order that everyone had no choice but to obey.Colson John was boiling with anger.“Harvey York!”Crack!Harvey nonchalantly broke Sasaki’s other leg.“Are you kneeling or not?”“Yes! Yes!”“We’ll kneel!”The men in golden-threaded suits all kneeled after seeing Harvey’s fierce glare.They quickly dropped their weapons before they slammed their knees to the ground.After all, nobody would dare talk back against such a fierce fighter.If they could survive, so what if they gave up?So what if they kneeled?Without Harvey saying a word, Kellan Ruiz and the others walked up before crippling the men and throwing them out to the street while they wailed in pain.The imposing
“Expert?Harvey York casually smiled before hooking his finger in front of Colson John.“Come. Let me see what you’ve got.”Colson was utterly infuriated when he charged forward with his blade shining brightly.“Ending Slash!”The killer move was taught to him by Evermore. It was said that it could kill anybody slightly above the user’s level.Along with the fact that Colson was a beginner King of Arms, he was extremely confident in his skills.He believed that other than Quill Gibson and Azrael Bolton, he could outmatch anybody in Golden Sands!He did not even care about Blaine!That said, Harvey swung his palm forward in the very next moment!Slap!All that nonsense was nothing to Harvey.In Colson’s eyes, his light disappeared as soon as he saw Harvey’s palm.Only an ever-expanding palm could be seen before his eyes!He felt a sharp pain before he slammed right into the ground. A bright red palm print was clearly showing on his face when his longsword flew into the dis
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
