“You…Flawless was furious.“Then, kill me if you dare!“Why are you stalling now?!”Harvey York raised Flawless’ chin before slapping her aside.“Enough. Let them pass.“You people are clearly together.“If you don’t do as I say, I’ll take you out first!”A bright red palm print was showing on Flawless’ face as she gritted her teeth.Maisie Xavier showed a horrible expression while gripping her firearm when she glared at Harvey. She had no intention to release anyone.“Right. There’s something that I forgot to tell you…Harvey smiled faintly.“Flawless’ injuries aren’t that bad. I avoided her vital spots when I shot her.“That said, it can’t be helped that all firearms get a little rusty. If she doesn’t get a tetanus shot soon, she might lose both her legs after this.“She’d be wheelchair-bound for the rest of her life.“I don’t mind though.“But if the rest of you don’t, we can definitely waste hours just standing here.“I’m not in a hurry anyway.”Flawless’ eyes tw
“Your wife, sister-in-law, classmates, friends, and colleagues…“Every single person who knows you will certainly die!“It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that your entire lineage is done for!“They’ll even look for people related to you, who don’t even know who you are, and kill them off!“You better think about this! Don’t ruin your entire life just for the sake of your temper!“More importantly, would you dare kill Flawless right before us?“If you don’t do it, you’ll still be found guilty if you can’t prove that you’re not the murderer!“When that happens, not only will you tarnish your reputation, but your identity’s reputation, along with the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, will go down with you!“Because of you, the country’s Martial Arts Alliance might even be exiled by the entire world!“When that happens, there’s no need to talk about being one of the directors of the world’s Martial Arts Alliance…“If the country doesn’t get blacklisted for this, then it’s already
“While there’s still a chance for you!“Let Ms. Flawless go, and I’ll send your people out of here!“You’ll have to stay here after that!“I swear in Golden Cell’s name, I’ll make sure to give you a fair trial!”Kensley Quinlan’s tone was no less than determined.“In the name of Golden Cell?Harvey York chuckled.“You only joined for less than three days, and you’re telling me that? Do you think you have the right even to say that?“I’ll tell you something! Even swearing with your family name wouldn’t help you here!“Besides, I only played along because I wanted to see how you people would incapacitate me by the books…“Then again, you’ve been completely unreasonable the entire time.“Not only did you grab Shay and Prince Gibson to make me give up, but you’d even allow the Faceless Group to do whatever they wanted to those two.“You abuse your authority for personal matters, yet you’re talking to me about a fair trial?“Who are you kidding?“Besides, the person behind you
Toyota Prados with V12 engines drove in from both sides, along with Darwin’s words. The cars were clearly modified with great power as well as impenetrable defenses.The headlights also lit up the entire place.As soon as the car doors opened, countless figures swarmed the entire place instantly.Those people held blades and firearms with extremely fierce expressions, as if they were about to crush the Golden Cell.Kensley Quinlan and the others were showing gloomy expressions. They did not expect Darwin to be this dominant to bring a group of people here to show off.After all, Quill Gibson had been stuck in Heaven’s Gate for the longest time.If Darwin had not been able to give the Heaven’s Gate an explanation for bringing this many people here, he would have ended up killing himself.“Pretty impressive, Ms. Kensley!“You’re already using the Gibson family as a sacrifice right as you take position?“Who gave you the nerve?!”Darwin calmly hopped down from the car and salute
Normally, three Darwins would not make Kensley Quinlan flinch.His identity would not even do anything to her either.But things were different at that moment.Darwin Gibson came as the acting head to protect his people.Simply put, he was here for justice.Under these circumstances, going against him would be completely unreasonable.No matter what Heaven’s Gate thought about the situation, the people would fight till the bitter end for their reputation.After seeing the sight, Harvey York could not help but be impressed by Darwin.He did not expect Darwin to be this outstanding as soon as he took action.Even the actual warden of the Golden Cell probably would not know how to handle the situation…Let alone the acting warden.“You trying to go against me, Darwin?Kensley seemed terrible.“Are you protecting the acting head?“What is that nonsense?!“Besides, even if that’s the truth, what right do you have to do whatever you want?!“Don’t you know who I have behind me
“That’s right! My brother can’t just die for nothing!” Flawless exclaimed.“The hundreds of people from the Faceless Group also can’t just die in vain!“That guy, Aung, was a monk too!“How dare Harvey do something like that to him?!“This is simply heinous!”Flawless gritted her teeth, prepared to eliminate Harvey York at any moment.“If he were the one who killed Aung, he would’ve done it elegantly,” replied Darwin Gibson.“Since he denied the claim, then you won’t be able to prove that he did even with a mountain of evidence.“As for you…“The Faceless Group has been killing tons of people the entire time.“Do you think you have the right to run your mouth here? At this point, you’re just going to get ignored.”“You…”Flawless was burning with anger.Faceless, who was silent the entire time, stepped forward before coldly glaring at Darwin.“Even if Quill Gibson comes here today, you won’t be allowed to take Harvey away!“Don’t think you can just barge in here just bec
Kensley Quinlan took a deep breath after seeing that a fight was about to break out.“Fine! Since Darwin Gibson wouldn’t give up, we’ll see who’s scared of who!“Listen to your command, Golden Cell!“Kill every single trespasser!”About a hundred people appeared out of nowhere after hearing her orders.There were few people compared to the Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate, but it was still quite impressive.Along with the shimmering firearms in the windows around the place, this proved that Kensley planned to fight with all her might.Then, she looked at Harvey York before taking another deep breath with a stern expression.“I’m giving you some extra time, Harvey!“One minute!“If you don’t give up after one minute, then everyone will die here!”Kensley waved her hand before the people around instantly pointed their firearms toward Harvey.Harvey showed a playful look.“Are you sure you can kill me off with just this?“Don’t forget. I’m Representative York.“You mus
Even Faceless, who had remained collected the whole time, showed a hint of shock.He thought he was discreet…But he never expected Eliel Braff to hide such shocking strength from everyone the entire time!Without a second thought, he could not help but take a step back, prepared to slip out of the place at any moment.Kensley Quinlan and Maisie Xavier, who had been acting all high and mighty, felt completely sluggish at this moment.They thought that their flawless plan could force Harvey York into a corner.But Eliel’s entrance and show of strength, along with the status and position he represented, made Kensley feel terribly helpless.Nobody would dare go against the city’s first-in-command, who had remained discreet the entire time.Harvey heaved a sigh with an impressed look on his face.‘As expected of the sly old fox…‘No wonder the Braff family become the head of the Hermit Families…’“What? Not only are you disobeying the law in my own territory, but you’re also pla
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
