Kora showed an arrogant expression. Naturally, having a fiance who would stand up for her was a pleasing sight.Prince and Shay Gibson’s faces instantly darkened. They did not expect Miles Keaton to be this rude when he started speaking.Kalel Hoffman curiously stared at Harvey York. He wanted to see how Harvey was planning to deal with the situation.Harvey faintly smiled when he looked at Miles.“Since you’re this generous…“I’ll also offer you a deal.“If you grovel before me and have yourself recorded for me to bring it up whenever I feel bored…“I’ll revoke the bet made between Kora and I.“I’m a man of my word.“I have a good reputation.”Harvey thought Miles and the others were planning to talk things through…But since they were still acting all high and mighty, Harvey had no intention of continuing the conversation anymore.He decided to cut to the chase.If Miles would kneel for the sake of his woman, then Harvey would happily call off the bet.But if Miles were
“Enough!Miles Keaton seemed annoyed.“Enough idle talk!“How hard is it for you to kneel and apologize?!“Can’t you just do what you’re asked and resolve the damn problem?!“If you’re only trying to save face, then it’s even simpler!“I promise nobody will know about this other than the ones present here!“I can even give you benefits!“You want money, right?“Here’s a hundred and fifty thousand!“Remember to grovel longer after taking the money!“If not, I won’t let you off the hook if my fiancee gets angry!”Miles signaled for someone from behind to bring a suitcase. It was thrown right before Harvey York after it was opened.Papers of all colors were seen inside, but they were not actual money.They were all fake.Prince and Shay Gibson were showing horrible expressions.This was utter humiliation!“I didn’t expect the Council of Myth would be this stingy to use fake money…Harvey smiled.“That said, I’m not interested since I’m honest.“How about this? I’ll get
“What?!”Everyone immediately felt sluggish when they saw Miles Keaton cover his face while stumbling a few steps back.Naturally, nobody expected Harvey York would actually do anything.Not only did he ignore the threats of two sacred martial arts training grounds, but he did not even show any respect for Kalel Hoffman at all.This was clearly a lot worse than getting Kora to wash toilets!Kalel returned to his senses out of pure shock before glaring at Harvey.“Are you insane?!”“How dare you hit my man?!Kora was also furious.“I’ll fucking kill you!”She waved her hand, and the disciples of the Immortal Pavilion stepped out with fierce expressions.Without Harvey even saying anything, Prince Gibson waved his hand when dozens of Heaven’s Gate’s disciples showed up.They were all fully armed, completely suppressing the Immortal Pavilion’s disciples.The people of Heaven’s Gate were not as impressive but had the numbers and the firearms to suppress any expert they wished.
“You bastard…”Miles Keaton stumbled off the ground with his face covered in blood. His head was spinning nonstop as soon as he got back up.He was an expert martial artist but could not even dodge Harvey York’s seemingly simple slap.He could feel his brain popping out of his head after being slammed into the ground.At this very moment, he felt nothing but rage and resentment.He had always been arrogant, pampered, and clung to out of fear and respect.Even if he went to Wolsing or Mordu, many people would have no choice but to make him feel as comfortable as possible.And yet, nobody thought he would be slapped around like this in Golden Sands.Not only was his face completely swollen, he could not even dodge the attack.If word were to spread about the incident, he would not be able to survive in the future.He would probably turn into the biggest joke in the upper circle.Without a second thought, he was filled with unbridled fury.He instinctively stepped back to gain
“You!Kalel Hoffman’s face darkened instantly.With his identity in the underworld, he had never been ridiculed like this in his entire life.This was simply unforgivable to him!“I’ll teach you a good lesson for the sake of your parents today!”Then, Kalel stepped forward before throwing a punch right at Harvey York’s chest.Bam!Harvey unhesitatingly kicked Kalel.Bam!Kalel slammed right into a pillar before he fell to the ground.He seemed wretched, with his face completely red. Blood spurted out of his mouth immediately after.He sustained internal injuries with just a single kick!Miles Keaton and Kora gasped in fear after seeing the sight.They knew Harvey was the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance. They also heard he single-handedly took out all of India’s top talents.That said, they all believed that it was all just a big exaggeration.But after seeing Kalel, who had trained for decades, could not even defend himself against a single kick.M
Kalel Hoffman instinctively shivered after hearing Harvey York’s words.He returned to his senses before showing a horrible expression.At the same time, he started to regret mediating for the Council of Myth’s mess.“I’m pretty impatient.“I’m giving you three seconds.“Three, two…”Even before Harvey could say anything, Kalel took a deep breath when he knew that he could not go against Harvey anymore.“I’m sorry, Representative York!” he exclaimed with a wretched look.“At least you know when to give up. No wonder you’re still surviving after all this while.”Harvey derisively glared at Kalel.“That said, if you tell me you’re showing off with your title again…“I don’t care which family is supporting you. I’ll cripple you myself!“Do you understand me?”Kalel was shaking in anger. It was the first time he had suffered such losses.That said, a smart man would always know when to give up.Kalel would not even dare say a single word while he gritted his teeth, let alone
Harvey York sipped his tea.“One: you’re the leader of Heaven’s Gate. Surely I have to come along since you’ve invited me. This is my way of supporting you as well as to consolidate your position.”Prince Gibson froze momentarily.“Thank you, Sir York.”“Two: I wanted to see if the mighty Young Master Miles would also despise the John family after being disrespected like this.“After all, a young master who had been fed through a silver spoon his entire life wouldn’t handle such loss lightly.“He’d probably want to slap Blaine around while trying to strangle me to death at the same time.“If not, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself.”Prince froze before he understood the situation.“You’ve really thought everything through, Sir York! I’m impressed!“After this, no matter what kind of relationship the Council of Myth or the Immortal Pavilion has with Blaine…“Cracks will surely start to form between them.“Things like this aren’t repairable at all. It’d only turn worse
The current situation in Golden Sands was a lot different than before.The Patel family was busy fighting off the John family.Harvey York wanted Kairi Patel to get as much information as possible so she would not panic later.Kairi chuckled bitterly after getting the texts.She knew Harvey’s action had made the Golden Sands’ situation as clear as day…But the enemies would also move a lot quicker because of him.Simply put, the situation had become extremely tense.Harvey smiled back after seeing the look on Kairi’s face. After reviewing the situation momentarily, he decided to head to the Robbins family’s residence instead of heading inside.Seven o’clock at night.Harvey arrived at the manor entrance.Before pressing the doorbell, he could see a few more discreet-looking Lincoln limousines parked around.The cars were extremely low-profile, with windows at least seven layers thick. Even bullets would not be able to penetrate them.Judging from this, it was clear just how
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
