Harvey seemed a little arrogant, making Blaine believe that he’d be able to solve the problem with ease.Blaine was an expert, after all.He was quite discreet with his abilities, and there weren’t a lot of people who knew about this…But there was no need for him to hide his keen eye.He had already taken a look at Westley last night; he knew that Westley’s problem needed to be cured immediately, maybe through martial arts.However, he didn’t know which to use since most of them were extremely similar to each other. Even he wouldn’t dare take action without careful consideration. Because of Harvey’s words, Blaine immediately believed that Harvey had the ability to cure Westley.“If you can successfully cure Westley… How much money do you want?” Blaine asked. “I’m sorry, but I already told you that I don’t need the money.“Truthfully, I really disliked the fact that Westley had been forcing Kairi’s hand.“He’s smart enough to take everything back…but he should be thanking m
Blaine’s face darkened instantly. “You can’t just say things like that, Sir York!”Harvey chuckled.“Since you know that much… Why are you still threatening me with the Wright family? Are you insane?“I’ll upload the entire conversation online. Emery would have no chance to rise after that.”“You recorded everything, you bastard?!” Blaine yelled.“It’s just an idea.” Harvey smiled. “I’m not as shameless as you people.”He then stood up before speaking up again.“We’ll end things here. Thank you for the meal. I’ll invite you guys to a roadside stall next time.”Blaine’s smile froze instantly.He believed he had been very cordial toward Harvey And yet…Harvey kept disrespecting him…and now, the man decided to leave on his own!‘Is he not scared of the Wright family?! Who gave him the courage?‘Is he saying that Emery will never rise to power? Is that why he’s that fearless?‘Or does he really know Sienna?’All sorts of thoughts came to Blaine’s mind; he wanted to take actio
The square-faced man was glaring coldly at Harvey.It was as if everything Harvey did was a sin.He looked as if he could strangle the life out of Harvey if he wanted to. Even though he didn’t reveal his identity, it was clear that he thought he could definitely crush Harvey.Harvey sized up the man for a moment. “I don’t even know you, do I?”“You bastard!”The square-faced man was looking at Harvey with disdain and rage.“You don’t even know who I am?!“Yuri would’ve killed you by now if it wasn’t for me! How dare you still talk big?“Let me tell you something! If it wasn’t for the fact that my son announced that you’re a servant for the family…“Yuri wouldn’t have gone easy on you. If not, do you think you could’ve held him back on your own?”The square-faced man spoke in a righteous tone.“How dare a man like you even act this high and mighty in front of me? Ignorant fool!”The man crossed his arms.“You should be grateful! You’re acting like this in front of your savi
“You’re using the Lloyd family’s name to protect your own skin!“And yet, you’re here pretending to be impressive?“Do you know how bad the consequences will be if you anger me?!“In any case, I owed Young Master John a favor, and you owe me!“Pack your things, and deal with Young Master Westley’s problem! I’ll let you go if you do!“But if not…”Keegan crushed the turquoise carving in his hand to dust.“This is what’s going to happen to you!”Blaine stood up with a faint smile.“I know that you have a high status i, Sir York. I know that you’re very strong, too.“But don’t forget, the underworld’s all about relationships.“You should always return the favor. Do you understand?“How are you supposed to survive in the underworld if you don’t?“I believe that the country’s Martial Arts Alliance wouldn’t let an ungrateful man continue being the representative either. Am I wrong?” he said.“You see that?! Now this is a gentleman!” Keegan looked at Blaine with admiration. “If
Slap!A crisp slap echoed in the air.Harvey managed to make contact with Keegan’s face first. Keegan’s body flew midair before slamming into the marble wall.A huge crack in the shape of his body was formed in the wall, and he slowly slid down.Harvey casually walked out of the door; he knew exactly what would happen as soon as his slap landed, after all.Blaine wasn’t shocked after seeing thing; rather, he seemed eager. It was clear he knew that Harvey was a God of War.‘I was right after all… A weakling like Cameron has no right to protect Harvey, anyway. Only Keegan would be stupid enough to believe that.’-Half an hour later, Harvey went back to the Patel family’s villa. He sipped his tea while explaining everything that happened.Kairi’s expression didn’t change all that much, but Cameron immediately rolled his eyes after hearing about the incident.He didn’t think that his all-powerful father would be taken out by a single slap!Impressive! Truly impressive!After C
“What is it?” Kairi frowned.“Evermore has always been interested in the way of everlasting life of the six Hermit Families,” Harvey replied.“And now, the Braff family has left Golden Sands.“The John family is destined to rise to power as well.“Under such circumstances, do you think Blaine will expose himself completely? Evermore will definitely support the John family’s rise, after all.“With this many benefits, they’d have to give up something too, right?”Kairi frowned again. She knew the situation would be a lot of trouble.The John family had authority, and Evermore was equipped with firearms and manpower.If Blaine didn’t care about his reputation anymore, it’d be awful. He might decide to take action without holding back.“Of course, this might still be salvageable,” Harvey said.“If the six Hermit Families did something out of the ordinary—if the families gave their secrets to the Braff family as a present for the Big Boss… How do you think the situation would prog
Kairi Patel gave a light nod.She knew Harvey York was speaking the truth.In the past, nobody would dare pressure the six Hermit Families until there was a perfect opportunity.Since the Braff family had left, the remaining five families were utterly aimless.Under such circumstances, the way of everlasting life was simply a ticking time bomb.More importantly, the timing was just too good.After missing out on the timing, people would not believe the Hermit Families even if they actually gave away their secret.“Right. I’m not particularly interested, but I was meaning to ask.Harvey thought about the situation.“Does the way of everlasting life even exist?”“Yes…”Kairi briefly hesitated.“That’s not what it is though.“It’s actually a way to unite man and nature!“Since ancient times, Heaven is rumored to be somewhere in Keale Mountain.“The way will be granted after stepping inside!“The so-called everlasting life is just a map to get to Heaven.“With six pictures
Inside the ICU of the Golden Sands People Hospital, Westley Wright was boiling with anger while lying on the bed.“Bastard!“That bastard!“He thinks he can act so cocky just because he’s skilled?!“He’s taking advantage of me!”His addiction was taking effect, but he still refused to inject himself with any more drugs. His entire body was in withdrawal when he felt a horrible itch.“This bastard should’ve died!“He turned down such a good deal…“And now he demands us to give up the position of the government’s second-in-command and half of its important positions?!“Kairi and the others must be behind all this…“If not, a country bumpkin like Harvey couldn’t come up with something like this!“This is ridiculous!“Young Master John! You need to help me!“Get Kairi back here! I’ll show her what I can do!“Get your family to deal with Harvey too!“If your family can’t, I’ll also ask Young Master Emery to help!“I don’t care if I live like this for the rest of my life!“B
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
