Everyone’s jaws dropped. Romina, who had already experienced Harvey’s strength, couldn’t believe what she saw either.‘That’s no ordinary martial artist! That’s a Demon Monk of the Smalt Sect! He managed to send an expert of that caliber flying with a single slap?‘That… That’s just too much…’The Smalt Sect’s reputation instantly went down the drain after everything that happened. It was a shame; the disciples weren’t as excited compared to before, neither did they have any thirst for revenge.An unspeakable chill went down everyone’s spine, making them shiver and grit their teeth in fear. Their souls were frozen stiff.“Go! What are you waiting for? Go right now! Kill him!”After freezing in place for a long while, Xyla snapped out of it and gritted her teeth. She knew she had to kill Harvey then and there.The Demon Monk, a Mutant from America, and Emil, the man who Amos had been trying to get closer to…If she didn’t accomplish her goal and let all this happen… Even if sh
“You’re calling the cops?“You want the government to bring you justice?Harvey York chuckled before clapping his hands.“Fine. Since you think you have the power to do that, I’ll play along!“I do want to see if someone like you is in the right or if I’m actually standing up for what’s right!”Xyla Garcia instantly scoffed after hearing Harvey’s words.Ever since she started studying, she knew it was extremely difficult for the police to advocate for the right things.She waved her hand, signaling her people to cut off every single exit from Harvey.It was clear in her mind that the Smalt Sect had many ways to deal with him if he were locked behind bars.A group of men in uniform showed up in less than ten minutes.Those people were showing stern expressions after seeing the injured lying on the ground with scattered firearms.Anyone could tell that there was a big fight going on here.The people in the room were quickly apprehended.Harvey did not resist at all. He allow
“So, you’re saying that person would abuse his authority because of the Smalt Sect?” asked Harvey York curiously.This was an unexpected surprise.Harvey wanted to deal with the Smalt Sect himself, but it would have been nice if the Osborne family had dealt with them first.The man had not gone against Harvey before, but it would be expected for him to cause trouble judging from Harvey’s conflict with the Osborne family back in Flutwell.Dutch Cobb briefly thought about the situation.“Judging from the Osborne family, this is an excellent opportunity to sell a favor to the Smalt Sect. Because of this, they’re most likely to cross a few lines.“But the man spent a great deal of effort to build his immense reputation. If he abused his power, his reputation would be immediately thrown out of the window.“That’s why I have no clue what will happen next.”Harvey took the glass of milk Dutch offered.“It’s not that hard, actually,” he said after taking a few sips of milk.“Since he
Harvey York gave a shrug.“I stood up for what’s right. I lent aid when someone needed help the most.“Is your second-in-command not planning to award me with anything?”Rae Higgs sighed.“You did do that, but you clearly went overboard.“You’re not deemed guilty, but you won’t be awarded either.”Harvey smiled when he signed the documents.“Looks like that man’s impartial after all.“Judging from the Osborne family, even if they can’t kill me, it wouldn’t be challenging to make things complicated for me.“Either he’s truly a saint or the most heinous man there is…”Rae was dead silent. She did not know how to respond to that.Dutch Cobb let out a sigh before showing a confused gaze.“Mr. Neil is upholding his reputation…“But, it’s safe to say he’s completely gone against the Smalt Sect and the Americans.“Provoking America isn’t that big of a deal, but he’d be in deep trouble for going against the Smalt Sect.”Harvey tapped on Dutch’s shoulder.“Don’t worry. No matter
“Cough cough!”Light coughs came from behind Miley Surrey.Stefan Augustus stepped forward with a strange look.He folded his arms as he briefly glanced at Harvey.“Thank you for this, Sir York.“If it weren’t for you, I’d turn into the Smalt Sect’s biggest joke. Maybe even the entirety of the outskirts.”Stefan gritted his teeth.Miley was his woman, no matter what.And yet Xyla Garcia still decided to make her accompany Emil Higgs.Not only was Stefan being utterly disrespected, he was also being treated like a cuck!For any man, this was completely unforgivable.“You’re too kind.Harvey smiled.“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.“My hostility toward you has completely gone after our last meeting.“That said, I’m unsure if I should say this…”Stefan paused before looking around him.“Please, speak your mind.”Harvey crossed his arms when he stepped forward.“I met Xyla and Stinger recently. They are all Amos’ people…“Judging from their actions, I could tell the
After returning to the No. 1 villa at Eden Mountain, Harvey York had nothing to do. He texted Mandy Zimmer, Yvonne Xavier, and a few others for a while before dozing off.After all, he could not rest well at the police station, no matter how calm he seemed. It was only natural to rest up after finally getting the chance.In the evening, the doorbell rang.Harvey freshened up himself before opening the door. Aria Surrey came inside with an elegant-looking lunch box.“You got all this time to get me takeouts?”Harvey gestured to Aria to sit.“You stayed at the police station yesterday. I figured you hadn’t eaten well since you didn’t go out today either.“I went to Wolsing Road and bought you some mutton chops.“It’s delicious. The meat is of good quality and not greasy either. It’s good for your body.”Aria opened the lunch box before the fragrant aroma wafted in the air.Harvey started chomping down on the food. He had not eaten anything for dinner yet.When Harvey was just
“He probably knows.”Aria Surrey thought about the situation for an instant.“Then again, Stefan has always been scared of Amos. After all, Amos excels both in knowledge and combat strength. Stefan never had a chance to fight against him.“But with the newfound strength, not only would Vaati worsen his relationship with his son if he intentionally talked him down, Stefan would probably become completely useless after.“Besides, the outskirts is in a dire situation right now.“You’re diverting attention to Stefan, but it doesn’t mean your conflict with the Smalt Sect would end just like that.“Because of Stinger and Xyla, Amos wouldn’t easily let you off the hook.“Vaati would probably try to benefit through this chaos too.No matter the experience or people skills, Aria would never be better than Harvey York.But before she came, she had already looked into the outskirts’ situation with Lennon Surrey. She would not have spoken this freely if that was not the case.“True. Peop
The next day, five o’clock in the afternoon.When he showed up at the Outskirts Courtyard, Harvey York held an exquisite box.This was a building for government officials. The outskirts was the capital of the Desert Province, and the building would hold most of the important officials here.As the second-in-command of the Desert Province, Neil Osborne had his independent courtyard.Harvey followed the address provided by Dutch Cobb before arriving at the courtyard.Two inspectors with firearms stood beside the entrance. One of them stepped forward and saluted Harvey after seeing his face.“Hello, sir.“This is private property. You’re not allowed entry.”Harvey smiled.“I’m looking for Mr. Neil. Please send word for me.“Tell him that I’m Harvey York.“I’m a friend of Dutch, the first-in-command of the Outskirts Police Station.”The inspector nodded slightly before hurrying into the compound.Around ten minutes later, he came back.“This way, please.”After walking past
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
