In the evening, the Yateses gathered at a clubhouse.Keith held a glass of wine with a smile, saying, “Grant, your plan’s quite good. I’ve just contacted several people from the government.”“Tomorrow, they’ll exert pressure on Silver Nimbus Enterprise. I doubt Simon and Lilian could withstand that!”“This time tomorrow, we’ll get Silver Nimbus Enterprise’s equity!”“We Yateses will become a top-tier family!”Grant raised his wine glass as well. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Sir Yates. I promise I’ll go all out for the Yates family in the future, and I’ll never hesitate!”“I’ll be Yateses’ cash cow from now on!”The Yates family laughed loudly as they listened to Grant.Leyton covered his face. “Big Brother, I think we have to teach that cretin Harvey a lesson after this whole thing is over!”“He’s just trash! How dare he hit me?! He’s unbelievable!”Tanya also gritted her teeth. “Yes! That kind of man should sit in prison for the rest of his life!”Grant grinne
Keith’s face wasn’t the only one that had turned extremely awful.The faces of the other members of the Yates family also changed instantly.However, Grandma Yates quickly snapped out of it. She smiled and said, “Sir Swift, I still remember the last time you came to congratulate me on my birthday. I’ve always wanted to visit you, but I never had the time for it.”“It’s better to meet by chance today. How about sitting down for a drink?”The Yateses looked at Alex, unsure of his purpose for suddenly coming here.He kept saying that the case was handled impartially. Could it be that he had discovered something?Alex replied coldly, “No thanks.”“We’re here today to arrest a person. I would like to ask Sir Yates to cooperate with us.”“What? Arrest who?” Keith and the others were all surprised.“Grant Bright from Regency Enterprise. You are suspected of multiple crimes. We have solid evidence, you’re being charged!”Alex said mercilessly, his expression icy.“Huh? What? I’m bei
Senior Oskar Armstrong was also very pleased.The victim’s family, who had initially blamed him, brought some fruits as an apology and to thank him personally.Oskar had no interest in pursuing fame, wealth, or power in his life. Instead, the happiest thing for him was to have his subordinate recover.Those who initially wanted to return the villas they’ve bought at Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort no longer clamored to do so.As it turned out, Senior Oskar Armstrong did not speak or advertise indiscriminately.The quality of the construction of the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort was very good.In addition, Silver Nimbus Enterprise would find a way to upgrade the overall quality and supporting facilities after the whole fiasco.Who would be willing to return the villas that would increase in value?Soon the business of Silver Nimbus Enterprise resumed, with the exception of the few boutique villas that Mandy kept, which she planned to use for asking favors in the future.Other tha
The next day.Harvey was about to go to Sky Corporation when Mandy walked out of the room.“Harvey, I’ve acquired a piece of land in the past two days and I’m trying to finish the formal process.”“Xynthia’s taking her exams today. Can you help me send her?” Mandy asked.The incident went viral this time. Silver Nimbus Enterprise did not lose its reputation, but instead became famous.Mandy took advantage of the opportunity to acquire several lands in Buckwood that she fancied. She was preparing to purchase them and push Silver Nimbus Enterprise’s business to the next level.Harvey smiled when he heard of Mandy’s intentions.It was good that his wife was so motivated. He would take care of the little things for her.“Okay. I’ll send her there. She’s taking the exam at Buckwood University, right?”“Yes.”Although Harvey despised Buckwood University and planned to send Xynthia to a well-known university…Xynthia wanted to take the entrance exam by herself. Today was the day of
Xynthia said it righteously, but in truth, she had other thoughts.This was a rare opportunity for her to get close to her brother-in-law.Harvey felt there was something wrong with Xynthia’s statement, but since she said it was for her studies, then he had to help her out.He had no choice. He’d taken great pains to make this sister-in-law of his study hard.Seeing the two holding hands and leaning to each other… Many of Xynthia’s admirers saw it. They were so angry, they were about to vomit blood!“That Xynthia looks so pure and innocent. She’s actually in love with an old uncle?!”“No. I’m against it!”“Come on, what right do you have to say that? Who do you think you are?!”Many boys were furious, but they only dared to curse from afar and didn’t say anything else.Soon, Xynthia brought Harvey to the canteen.The two of them ate at a corner. They didn’t expect to still receive a lot of attention despite doing so. Many continued to stare at them.Harvey was speechless.
Harvey looked at Mason, a faint smile slowly appearing on his face.No wonder Xynthia wanted to act out a scene with him. There were quite a lot of pests around.And the attitude of said pest in front of them right now was putting him in a terrible mood.If it were any ordinary pursuer, at most Harvey would’ve just observed from the sidelines. If he took a liking to the person, he might even lend a hand. But this brat was displaying the attitude of an aggressive playboy. Harvey had no intention to make his sister-in-law fall into the hands of such a person. Harvey hadn’t finished talking before an enraged Xynthia intervened, shouting, “Mason Warner! I already told you clearly that we’re not meant to be!”“What right do you have to butt in my business?!”“Right?”Mason chuckled.“I represent everything in Buckwood University. Whoever that I demand to be my girlfriend has to be my girlfriend!”“That’s the rule in Buckwood University. Don’t you get it?”“All the students here
“Senior Dwayne!”Upon seeing the newcomer, Xynthia politely greeted him.Dwayne Haris was also a student at Buckwood University. He was in his fourth year, and rarely stayed on campus.He was also another one of Xynthia’s pursuers, though he appeared to be more personable.“Is Mason giving you a hard time again?”Dwayne wasn’t there to witness what had just transpired, but he immediately approached Xynthia with a smile.To him, the more trouble Mason gave Xynthia, the more chances he would get to save the damsel in distress.Dwayne glared at Mason and frowned, saying, “Mister Warner, didn’t I already warn you? Stop harassing Xynthia!”“This is none of your business!”Mason yelled, though his expression had worsened slightly.He knew who Dwayne was. Even though Dwayne’s family was not that rich, Dwayne’s father worked for the Buckwood government, so his status was quite high.Unless Mason really had to, he didn’t want to provoke Dwayne.“What did you say?”Dwayne’s face dar
Dwayne Haris and Mason Warner were both very influential figures in Buckwood University. Word about their fight quickly spread, attracting quite a lot of curious students. Mason bore a wretched expression, but Dwayne was indifferent and even had the time to give a friendly wave to the girls around him.He was the president of the Taekwondo association in Buckwood University and had a black belt under his name. Along with his handsome looks, he had garnered quite a lot of fan girls.Dwayne was in truth delighted by Mason’s attitude today.He believed that if he could beat up Mason, Xynthia would know which man to choose.Dwayne stretched out a hand and hooked his index finger in a mocking gesture, challenging Mason to approach him.Mason let out a cold laugh before throwing a basketball furiously at Dwayne.However, Dwayne raised his leg and kicked the basketball away.But right after he landed his kick, Mason was already rushing toward him and attacked him with a hard slap to
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
