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
Harvey had no intention to brawl with children.Mason was acting as if he was the king of the world. But in Harvey’s eyes, he was only a brat.How could Harvey have the slightest interest?He was only willing to talk because he hoped that Mason would stop harassing Xynthia.Normally speaking, forget a rich heir of Regency Enterprise, even the university dean had no right to speak to him.However, Mason found Harvey’s words to be a great humiliation. He pointed an angry finger at Harvey and screamed, “Who do you think you are to tell me to apologize?!”“I’m warning you! I’m on to you!”“I want Xynthia, and I’m gonna sleep with her tonight! Not only that, I’ll make you kneel and watch from the side!”Mason’s posse revealed wretched, perverted expressions at his exclamation. Naturally, it wasn’t their first time doing something like that.But Mason’s words drove Harvey into rage.He couldn't even bear to tease his own sister-in-law that way.But these bracts actually dared
“What’s the matter?”“He’s been sent to the emergency room?!”The initially calm and peaceful Jacob’s expression changed instantly. He stood up, furious.“CEO Warner, are you alright?” Mandy asked.Jacob replied with a frown, “CEO Zimmer, I’m afraid we’ll have to postpone the negotiations for a few days.”“My son was beaten up badly on campus and was sent to the hospital. The perpetrator wasn’t found, either. I have to go take a look.”“My son can’t possibly be beaten up for nothing now, can he?”Mandy held the collaboration between their two companies in high regard. Listening to Jacob, she said, “Then I shall accompany CEO Warner to visit as well.”“Alright.”Soon, the two arrived at the hospital.Jacob’s face twisted into a vicious expression when he saw Mason pushed out of the emergency room, covered in plaster casts.“Who did this to you?! Didn’t you tell them that you’re the heir of Regency Enterprise?!”Jacob’s face was filled with murderous intent.“Father, I told
“Hurt?”On the other side of the phone, Harvey had already forgotten about the affair with Mason.When Mandy questioned him, he suddenly remembered.“I didn’t beat up anybody. I only sparred with a kid.”“Sparred?”Mandy was livid.“You tell me that it’s only sparring when you hospitalized the heir of Regency Enterprise?!”“I’m telling you right now! You’re in big trouble!”Mandy hung up angrily.She took a deep breath and calmed down soon after, and then bowed to Jacob. “CEO Warner, this whole incident is our fault!”“I’m willing to pay one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for your son’s to compensate for your son’s emotional assault, along with the medical fees.”“Regarding our collaboration, my company is willing to give ten percent of our shares to express my apologies.”But Mandy’s words only made Jacob laugh coldly. “Money? You really think Regency Enterprise is short on money?”Mandy frowned.“Then why don’t you make your request, CEO Warner? We’ll do everything
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
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
