"I understand you're young, Harvey, but you better not make any more demands. What else do you want when Donald has already given you a mask to cover your face?" Wilhelm said, his tone rather strange. "You should know what's good for you. If Donald gets angry, the consequences will be quite bad. You won't be able to deal with it. I hope you can understand, Harvey. Donald isn't only supported by the Martial Arts Alliance from Summer Isles, but also the ones from Lion City and Bright Isle, among others…"Wilhelm leaned back on the sofa. "Now go and apologize, seeing that we still have time. Once you're done, I can give you 20 dollars to get some fried chicken for supper. See? I'm very considerate, right?"Liza chuckled as well. "You should know when to drop it, Harvey. Don't cut off your escape route…"As Harvey listened to what they had to say, a huge smile stretched across his face. He looked at Wilhelm and the others curiously. "Can I understand that you're threatening me?"Li
Almost everyone was shocked when they saw Harvey "obediently" kick Donald to the ground. They were so stunned that they didn't know how to describe it. They didn't expect that not only Harvey would be so bold, but he would also choose to follow such a "request".Things were already quite bad when he slapped Donald, but he even kicked Donald to the ground and stepped on the latter's face.That…That wasn't as simple as hitting someone. Harvey had ignored Donald's status and identity. He ignored the Summer Isles Martial Arts Alliance and all the organizations behind it. He was humiliating Donald completely!After a brief moment, Wilhelm regained his composure. He jumped off his seat, anger written all over his face. "What are you doing, Harvey? Do you even know what exactly you're doing? How dare you touch him, you bastard!"Even Liza was overtaken by fury. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you right now!"She immediately pulled out a flexible blade she used as a sword and rushed toward Ha
"You… You little bastard!" Donald was in so much pain that his tears came out. He yelled furiously, "How dare you touch me? You'll regret it! You'll definitely regret it!"There was a bang. Harvey put in some more strength, and this time, he really did step right on Donald's face. He even crushed Donald's face under his boot.Donald's face was full of dirt; he shuddered in anger, but he was still stubbornly resisting. "Bastards! You're all bastards! I won't show you any mercy! You'll all pay for your actions!"Harvey clicked his tongue a few times before sighing. "Normally speaking, the older a person is, the wiser he is. Someone as old as you must be extremely wise… But now, I'm a bit suspicious. I don't even know how you managed to survive until this age when you're so blind to your situation!"Harvey gave Donald another stomp, to the point blood came out of his nose. Looking at the blood on his shoe, Harvey wiped it off disdainfully on Donald's clothes."You…" Donald was indign
"You're way out of line, Harvey! How dare you treat our VIP from the Summer Isles like this! Do you even care about our laws?!" Wilhelm roared.He was enraged when he saw Harvey easily beat Donald up. He didn't dare to say anything just now because Harvey had a hostage, but now that Harvey no longer had any hostage, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore."Do you think I have no temper? That I'll just watch you harass others in front of me? As the Deacon of Wolsing's Dragon Palace, I'm now ordering you to immediately apologize to Donald and give yourself up to him. Otherwise, I'll deal with you according to our laws!"He grabbed the cup next to him and threw it to the floor.Harvey glanced at the floor. "That's an antique cup worth 15 million dollars. Remember to pay for it.""I'm paying nothing!" Wilhelm's expression darkened, his anger reaching a boiling point. He was telling Harvey about the law, but Harvey was telling him to compensate for a cup? He couldn't take it anymore!
"You old fool… You're still threatening others at a time like this," Harvey walked over to Wilhelm, disdain in his eyes. "Do you think I wouldn't dare to hit you after I've hit Donald?"Right after Harvey said that, he immediately slapped Wilhelm's face. While Wilhelm was an expert himself, his skills were useless before Harvey. Harvey's attack was simple, but Wilhelm somehow felt he could block it; however, the attack immediately fell his Wilhelm's face. He was in so much pain that he shuddered."Argh!" When Wilhelm finally realized what had happened, he held his face. He was furious and upset. "You bastard! How dare you hit my face! You…"Harvey slapped him again. "So what if I hit your face? Do you think there's anything special about you that I should hit your face? If it isn't because you're asking for it, I wouldn't even hit you. Don't you know why this is happening?"Liza and the others looked down on Harvey even more when they saw Harvey humiliate someone like Wilhelm as
If a veteran threatened Wilhelm, he wouldn't be too worried. The underworld wasn't all about violence—it was about relationships as well. No matter what people did, they wouldn't push it too far so they would have some space to bargain with in the future.However, a youth like Harvey was different. He didn't care about being patient, which meant that he could really kill Wilhelm. The moment that thought crossed his mind, Wilhelm had no choice but to suppress the regrets inside of him. The corner of his eyes twitched, and he muttered with great difficulty, "I'm sorry, Harvey.""Ha! While your apologies are worth nothing, I can let you go for Dragon Palace's sake." Harvey took out another paper towel and, after wiping his fingers, wiped the cold sweat off Wilhelm's forehead. "You better remember this. If you see me next time, you better kneel on the side. That way, I will pretend not to see you. Understand?"Wilhelm's face twitched, but he knew there was no point in escalating this
"I know." Charlotte nodded slightly. "But sir, while Donald's action is quite depraved, he does represent the martial arts community beyond our country. These people are very powerful. Not only do they have powerful economic backing, they have even combined their powers with other factions that are against our country."Normally, our country is soft on them. But after what you did today, our relationship has broken down entirely."It was obvious that Charlotte still wanted Harvey to act less rashly. While it felt good doing so, they might hurt themselves in the process."Broken down?" Harvey smiled. "Can't you see? Donald and his entourage have already forgotten their ancestors. It doesn't matter who's behind them, whether it's Country A or the Island Nations. It's easy to see they're all aligned with Shinto Way."In this situation, it's either I surrender and kneel before Shinto Way, or sever my relationship with them. There's no third path other than these two, understand? Since
"Understood. I will arrange everything right now." Charlotte quickly nodded. "Meanwhile, should we send a few more people to keep an eye on Wilhelm? While Donald is difficult to deal with, most of his influence lies overseas. He has no foundation in our country, so there's a limit to how difficult he can be."However, Wilhelm is different. He's a Wolsing local. If he wants revenge after getting angry again, it'll be very, very complicated."Harvey smiled. "You can handle that too, but the people you use must be quite smart. They should remain hidden if they can't get any information, since there will be plenty of skilled people around them. Aside from their men, there most likely will be Islanders…"Charlotte was slightly stunned before nodding. It was just like Harvey had said. It wouldn't matter much if they sent people to keep an eye on them, but if anything happened to her people…It would be difficult!"Alright. Let's stop here tonight." Harvey stood up and put the teacup dow
"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
