“My boss said he’ll give you twenty-four hours!“Apologize in all mainstream media of Country H!“You also have to pay three times the damages of Kendo Hall’s lack of business!”Caspian Lee showed a righteous look.“You can be resentful. You can be unhappy. You can curse at me if you dare…“It doesn’t matter at all.“As long as you fulfill those two conditions!“If you don’t, then you won’t be able to handle the consequences!”Tojo Nomura covered his face while glaring coldly.“You may not know the power of the person behind us…“But you have Neil’s support, don’t you?“Call him! Ask him if he dares to oppose the Toyotomi family!“Not just him…“Even the entire Osborne family has no choice but to be careful around the Toyotomi family!“After all, the family’s on par with the Heisei family, Fujihara family, and the Takahashi family—the four great families of the Island Nations!“Even if you do not know, you must’ve read history books before!“You should know that Hideyos
Caspian Lee looked fearless.“The outcome of the battle doesn’t matter!“The current situation means everything!“No matter how impressive you are, do you really think you have the right to go against the Toyotomi family and its resources?“Besides, my master has another terrifying identity!“In any case, you should know what’s good for you!“As long as you do as the papers tell you, I’ll put in a good word for you before my master!“The compensation isn’t a lot! Our projected profit is about six hundred million!“Three times that amount is 1.8 billion in losses!“Since we’re barely considered fellow citizens, I wanted to be a little generous!“As long as you apologize in front of the mainstream media and compensate 1.3 billion dollars, I’ll let you off the hook!Caspian crossed his legs again before sitting more dominantly.“No need to thank me.“I’ll give you a day to prepare for the mainstream media!“I’ll let you have ten days for the compensation!“Consider this my
Harvey York completely ignored Caspian Lee’s outburst when he patted the pieces off his hand and wiped them with a paper towel.“Come! Call the cops!“Not only did these people not go through with their end of the deal, they’re even trying to distort the truth and blackmail us!“It’s a tremendous amount of money as well! This is shocking!“I want the police to give me an explanation for this!”Kali Howell quickly called the police.After what had happened in the Kendo Hall the night before, Dutch and the others had already obtained a lot of evidence.They had no way to convict Caspian and the others for extortion…But making threats and trespassing would surely be enough to get them in trouble.Caspian and the group were not detained altogether but were fined seventy dollars for it.It was not a huge amount, but it was extremely embarrassing.At the same time, this meant that the outskirts’ police would not be biased towards the group of people just because they were foreign
Caspian Lee could not help but cheer at the marvelous sight.“As expected of you to be this impressive, Mr. Naruse!”The figure stood up, completely ignoring Caspian. When someone sent over a bowl of water, he washed his hands and patted them down with a towel before waving.An invincible aura seeped out, instantly turning the curtain to dust.With another light wave, he swiped the dust away before he sat on his couch.He sipped the tea his beautiful servant brought before glancing at Caspian.“You disappoint me, Caspian.”He spoke calmly, revealing he already had information about everything that happened.He looked like a higher being looking down on mere mortals, making people instinctively kneel at the sight.A traitor like Caspian was clearly no different.He immediately slammed his knees to the ground before he started groveling.“I couldn’t finish such a simple task, Mr. Naruse! I’ll bear any punishment!”Naruse Toyotomi played with his cup for a long while.“I gave
“For the Toyotomi family, pride is the most important thing.Naruse Toyotomi’s eyes lit up.“That’s why we won’t let that man off that easily.“I thought there were more important things for us to do in the outskirts.“It wasn’t worth the effort. There was no need to mobilize so many forces for something like this either…“But the family’s being disrespected right now!“It won’t do if we don’t act now!Naruse hit the tree beside him.“That said, it’s proven that the police look up to the kid since they enforced the law.”Caspian smirked.“I think I know what he did, Mr. Naruse.“He was trying to save Quincy.”“Quincy? The Osborne family’s lady?Naruse froze in place.“The woman who almost died after going berserk?”Caspian nodded.“I see. I get it now,” replied Naruse while nodding lightly.“On one hand, Neil wants to repay the favor for his daughter’s rescue. On the other hand, he thinks Harvey’s a skillful man who can be utilized.“That was why he did everything he
While Caspian Lee plotted revenge, Harvey York had already forgotten about the incident.Defeating a few Islanders was nothing to him.At this point, it was completely impossible for Tojo Nomura to get out of the situation unscathed.Of course, Caspian had not done anything to Harvey yet, but he would not mind repaying the favor if it came to that…Even if his hands would be dirtied because of this.He gave Layne Naiswell a call at the same time.The chief instructor came all the way to the outskirts because of Neil Osborne’s invitation. She rushed to Harvey as quickly as she could after getting the call.Behind her was Prince Gibson, who seemed utterly exhilarated, and Justin Walker, looking pale.The two were respectful in Harvey’s presence, but they were also prominent figures.Prince was the current person in charge of Heaven’s Gate, and Justin was the top vice branch leader of Longmen’s Mordu branch.The two could crush anyone in the outskirts with their identities alone
For someone in a position like Neil Osborne, he had already seen many young masters and princes of the top ten families and the five hidden families.He knew a lot of young and talented rich heirs who were fearless too.And yet, it was his first time seeing someone so easygoing as Harvey.If it had not been for him to discover Harvey’s identity, he would still have treated him like an ordinary young man.He naturally recognized Layne Naiswell and the others. He quickly sat down with them for a meal without holding back.Everyone was having a relaxing time at this moment.While they were happily chatting, a row of black Maybachs slowly drove into an alley.The cars were not fast, but an indescribable dominance could be felt. It was clear the people in the vehicles were extraordinary.The adults who planned to visit the Longmen Budokan stumbled out of the place instantly.After all, anyone could tell something big was about to happen.At this very moment, the commotion could be
“If you don’t want that, then get out of here already.“Stop embarrassing yourself.“You’re not welcome here.”Harvey York scrolled through his phone as he casually spoke. A lazy yet indescribable fierce aura could be felt coming from him at that moment.The beautiful women from the rear were cackling with their red lips covered.In their eyes, Harvey was a little too cocky.People who acted this arrogantly would usually end up with a horrible fate after all.‘Can’t this bastard tell?’‘Caspian’s the impressive one here!’‘What does it mean to make a strong comeback?’‘This does!’“Bold words, Harvey.“It’s a shame that you’re finished!Caspian Lee shook his head, looking as if he was the king of the world.“You keep causing me trouble…“You even locked up Mr. Tojo…“Do you even understand the price you’ll have to pay for all this?”“I think you said something similar when you came by previously.“I’m still standing here, though.“If you can even do anything to me, y
"Not to mention, these are weapons that Grand City's top brass directly controls. If it isn't because I've taken control over Earth Hall recently, I wouldn't have been able to take these out," Clarion said with a sigh.Harvey nodded. "Looks like letting you control Earth Hall is one of my correct decisions after coming to Grand City."Then, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. "Clarion. Take your men and attack from the outer ring. Do your best to reach the destination and save our people."Clarion blinked. "And you?"Harvey said, "Always go for the head. A truly powerful elite must be keeping an eye on everything. If we don't eliminate him, our rescue will be destined to fail."Harvey slammed his foot on the ground before jumping into the air, his figure quickly disappearing into the horizon. He noticed that there were plenty of elites converging. This was Sky Plane's territory. No matter how many he killed, his enemies would most likely swarm him.If that was the case,
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
