While Amos Augustus was thinking of a way to apologize to prevent himself from being too embarrassed…Harvey York visited the Longmen Budokan.When he just made himself a cup of tea, the sounds of engines were heard from outside.A row of ambulances were parked outside when a dozen men in white coats rushed forward.A tall, beautiful woman walked in front. She coldly glanced around her before coming toward Harvey.Harvey was sipping his tea when he recognized the woman.She was the director of the outskirts’ top people’s hospital and the woman in charge of saving Quincy, Courtney Lloyd.A Longmen disciple stepped up to greet the woman.“We’re not enrolling students, Ma’am.”“I’m not here to train.”Courtney frowned.Dorian Howell had been feeding the idea that he was on the verge of death for the past twenty years.This caused Longmen’s image to weaken.This was also why Courtney disdained the organization.Neil Osborne’s sister, Yasmin Osborne, was currently in charge of
“Do you even realize what you’re missing out on?“To many people, they’d only encountered such a prominent figure once!“If you miss out on a chance like that…“Then you’d remain a lowly peasant for the rest of your life!“Do you want to be an upperclassman without Mrs. Andie’s help?“Keep on dreaming!”Courtney Lloyd looked bitter as if she was giving Harvey York a lecture.That said, the disdain and coercion were blatantly apparent in her words.After all, serving Neil Osborne and his family was no less than a blessing to her.‘How dare a loser like Harvey not cherish an opportunity like this?‘He thinks he’s impressive just because he’s trained for a couple of years?‘Doesn’t he know that masters of their own craft would always sell themselves to the people with authority?‘The age of heroes is over!‘No matter how strong he is, without the support of the government and powerful figures, what else can he do other than to sell his performance on the streets?’Harvey cas
“What? Do you think you can just ask Sir York to go wherever because you’re a director?”“Who do you think you are? The director of the police station?”“Oh, you people don’t know! She’s the director of the top people’s hospital! She’s excellent at surgery! She’s earned a lot of favors since many policemen have had stitches from her.”“What? Are you asking for a reward now?”“Are you trying to take advantage of us or something?”“Is this what an angel in white is supposed to do?”The Longmen disciples spoke gloomily after hearing Courtney Lloyd’s words.The disciples did not know who Harvey York was, but they knew he helped the outskirts’ branch quite a bit.They were naturally upset about a mere doctor threatening Harvey.They were already nice enough not to slap Courtney in the face.Harvey waved his hand before finally speaking.“Are you acting on your own? Or did Andie put you up to this?”Naturally, Harvey did not believe Neil Osborne would do something like this alone
“Aaagh!”Courtney Lloyd was completely infuriated after hearing Harvey York’s remarks.It was safe to say that he was being extremely reckless.She was only disrespecting Harvey at most…But Harvey did not only do the same; he also wiped the ground with her face.“I’ll kill you! I’ll fucking kill you!”Courtney had utterly lost all control.She was a beautiful woman, but her temper was less than pretty at this very moment.Right when she was about to pounce at Harvey, the car engine sounds could be heard from afar.A Lamborghini SUV swerved in a half-circle before finally stopping in front of the Budokan.Courtney froze. A person driving this car would naturally be immensely powerful. She would seize any opportunity just to cling to people like this.The car door opened when a handsome man in a white suit emerged with his arms crossed.At the same time, he held a gift box with a respectful look.He was none other than Amos Augustus himself!Courtney froze again after seei
‘He wants Amos to throw me out?’Courtney Lloyd was shocked and enraged.She was shocked that the Smalt Sect would pay Harvey York this much respect.But she was more enraged that Harvey did not respect her the same.“Were you fooled by this man, Young Master?“Why would you give him the badge?“What will happen if he decides to show off with it?“The Smalt Sect would be embarrassed!“Please think this through, Young Master!”Courtney’s words were sincere and respectful despite her apparent panic.She clearly did not want Harvey to possess such an impressive badge.If not, how was she supposed to take advantage of him?How could she crush all over him then?More importantly, if she could not accomplish her goal here, Andie Quinlan killing her off would be the least of her worries.Slap!Amos Augustus swung the back of his palm forward, slapping Courtney to the ground.“Keep quiet!“Don’t you see that I’m talking to Sir York here?!“Can’t you tell that he’s an importan
After seeing Amos leave, Harvey put his cup down and pondered something.“Isn’t that guy being a little too respectful, Sir York? This is the Smalt Sect’s badge, after all. It has the same authority as the sect’s master!”Romina showed up behind Harvey with a doubtful gaze.She didn’t think that Harvey was this impressive.Not only did Amos keep getting humiliated, but he was also forced to give up the badge here.Harvey played around with the badge for a moment. “Do you really think we can actually use something like this?”Romina froze. “Why not?”“He’s a crafty man. He can turn whatever he wants into reality.“For the Smalt Sect, we wouldn’t be able to fault them for their respect.“This badge wouldn’t be useful if we actually need it.“I’ll give you an example.“If I fight Amos to the death tomorrow, do you really think he’ll just kneel when he sees the badge? If his teacher, his own father, stops his rise to power, he won’t hesitate to kill.“He calls me his superior?
Harvey didn’t care what Stefan would do after getting the Smalt Sect’s badge.He wanted to use Stefan to make things harder for Amos. As long as Stefan wouldn’t try to bite him back, he would be fine with anything.He even pondered to send support to Stefan if the latter couldn’t handle Amos on his own.His attention had always been on Evermore, who hadn’t revealed itself for the longest time.There were trails from the Smalt Sect hinting that Henrik and the others came from Evermore. However, judging from their way of doing things, that seemed highly unlikely.Harvey figured that nobody was able to find out Evermore’s tracks yet.While making plans to dig out Evermore’s whereabouts in the outskirts, a day had passed.He was just about to leave the Longmen Budokan, when a few luxury cars exuding fierce auras showed up at the front door.He stopped in his tracks, and looked at them curiously. The car doors opened, and a few women in dresses covered in jewelry strutted over arr
“You’re not?!”Andie looked at him with a horrible expression.“Let me tell you something, Harvey! There are some things you simply have to do, no matter what.“I understand that because of your talents at such a young age, you think you’re actually impressive. That’s why you’re acting so arrogantly.“You should know that unless you’re from the top ten families, the five hidden families, the four cornerstones, or the sacred martial arts training grounds…“You have no right to act like this in front of me. Do you understand?”Harvey waved his finger around, clicking his tongue.“I thought you’re completely fearless. Who knew Mr. Neil’s wife would be scared of that many people? The things you’re saying don’t fit your personality at all.”Andie’s face darkened even more.“Harvey York! The world’s always bigger than you think! Everyone should fear and respect me, let alone you!“Let me tell you something! I rarely treat people with such respect! If you don’t know what’s best for
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
Boom! Boom! Boom!There was a string of explosions in mid-air. The bolts had also been engulfed by the explosion. Even after Harvey had managed to negate the attacks, he didn't stop. He grabbed the rocks from the ground with his hand.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Several elites hidden in the shadows instantly lost their fighting skills."He really is a True Warrior," Clarion muttered when he saw what happened. He wasn't even sure what to say.He thought he should be able to put himself to some use this time, hence why he asked to come with Harvey. He didn't expect Harvey to be so powerful that he needed others at all.Very quickly, all the attackers gathered. It was obvious they knew they couldn't do anything to Harvey anymore."These people are from the Origin Sword Style!" Clarion said seriously after he looked at what the attackers were wearing. "They're quite troublesome. While they look like they're over-the-top, they're most likely sacrificial soldiers. But the problem is t
"Of course, if we can maintain absolute discretion, we can escape without alerting anyone once we find Ms. Mandy," Clarion said, remaining positive. "That way, we don't have to fight and draw the attention of those who hold power in Sky Plane."Harvey was sitting in the van. He frowned and looked at the buildings with clear Island Nation influence. "Since Daichi is blackmailing me using Mandy, that means they're confident we won't be able to take her away. I believe we'll have to fight with those from the Origin Sword Style today."Harvey gave it a thought for a while and said, "And don't you think that the information Vaida gave us is too accurate? As if someone left behind an opening for us."Clarion's eyes widened. "Don't tell me this is a trap just for us?"Harvey shook his head. "Not only for us, but also for Grand City. If we're really stuck here… It doesn't matter if we're killed or captured alive, we'll become the excuse for them to attack Grand City. This time, we must…"
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
