“That’s right! Isn’t the student council president basically the king of the university? I think this is normal. After all, Mason does have the qualifications!”“On the other hand, you’re the shameless one! You were acting so lovey-dovey with your brother-in-law, only to be shamed into anger when you were exposed and beat Mason up!”Xynthia’s face was ugly. She turned to Dwayne. “Senior Haris, you’re willing to stand up for Mason even after he beat you to a pulp?”Dwayne replied with a shocked look, “Xynthia, can you stop twisting the truth? The man who hit me was your brother-in-law, Harvey York!”“I didn’t even want to pursue this matter any further, but you had to bring it up!”Xynthia was dumbfounded by Dwayne’s confession. She never anticipated for Dwayne to simply shift the blame toward Harvey.At this moment, Harvey understood.The collaboration between Jacob and the Yateses had already been arranged.Dwayne’s father may work for Buckwood’s government, but he was only
Finn’s words distorted Simon and his family’s faces into horrible expressions.Finn’s title as the Yates family’s prince was not for show. It was said that he had studied in the university established by the South Light General Police Department, and was the champion of the police force’s fight league a few times while he was there.Though he wasn’t the type to casually throw a punch, if he actually did so, he would surely cripple or even kill his opponent.The Yates family sending Finn Yates to aid Regency Enterprise and show up this time was enough proof that Harvey was finished!Right this moment, getting crippled seemed like an insignificant consequence. Harvey might be forced to live the later half of his life behind bars after getting crippled. A fate like that was definitely worse than death.Looking at Harvey’s icy expression, Finn assumed Harvey was frightened. Finn approached Harvey and gave Harvey a light slap on the cheek. His face was filled with ridicule.“Since
Twelve o’clock midnight, at the Emperor Clubhouse.This place was property of Regency Enterprise, and was closed for the night.Finn Yates had already left with the benefits provided by Jacob.The way they saw it, they only needed to scare the Zimmers a bit to deal with them. There was no need for Finn to actually show up.Soon, Harvey arrived.“What? Only the live-in son-in-law came?”“No matter, I’ll sleep with his woman after crushing all of his limbs!”Jacob spoke without mercy. He knew how to torture a man’s soul and drive that man into a life worse than death.When Harvey entered, a dozen security guards immediately surrounded him. Someone swiftly locked all of the windows and doors in the building, preventing him from leaving and from any sounds or shouts to leak out.Nobody expected for Harvey to stride in without a care in the world, take a seat before Jacob, and pour himself a glass of red wine.His calm expression stunned Jacob. Jacob had only seen this kind of
As soon as Harvey was done talking, he reached out and grabbed Jacob’s hair, then smashed Jacob’s head against the marble table.With a bang, the marble table cracked. Blood streamed all over Jacob’s face before he passed out.Harvey ordered calmly, “Wake him up, then break all of his limbs. Make sure he’s deprived of his basic needs for the rest of his life.”“Yes, sir!”Tyson bowed and accepted the order. A subordinate grabbed a pot of boiling hot tea and immediately poured it all over Jacob.“Aaah!”Jacob regained consciousness in the midst of his wailing, rolling on the ground.All too soon, his arms and legs were held in place and broken one by one.When everything was over, Jacob had passed out once more. The stench of his bowel and bladder seeped out of him.Harvey used his suit to clean the sole of his shoes, disdain written all over his face. He then turned around and left.Of course, when Harvey had reached The Gardens Residence, the Zimmers, who were worried sick,
Finn remained calm and said, “Father, even though the security guards CEO Warner has isn’t all that great, Harvey was clearly outnumbered. How was he capable of something like this? Does he have a hidden background or some support behind the scenes?”Keith chuckled.“I already asked about it, but he’s only a driver for some big shot.”“Somebody saw gangsters present in the Emperor Clubhouse!”“Harvey most likely used his connections. If not, how could he possibly be an opponent for Jacob Warner?”“Using connections with the mob? This is a good thing!”Finn’s eyes lit up immediately.“The Yates family is the bane of the gangsters’ existence! We don’t know how to charge this filth and send him to jail before, but he’s finished now that he’s sent gangsters to do his bidding!”“Father, just leave this to me. I’ll make him regret what he did today!”Keith replied coldly, “Remember, you have to be decisive with your actions. Don’t show any mercy. If not, the dignity of the family wo
“What do you think you’re doing?” Yannick Bisson said, frowning.He knew who Finn was, which was why he didn’t dare to be so hard on Finn.Finn replied respectfully, “Chief Inspector, there was a ruffian causing trouble in the Emperor Clubhouse. He completely crippled CEO Warner from the waist down. I’m preparing my men to grab him here and serve justice!”Yannick’s frown deepened. He asked, “Why are you bringing so many men for such a trivial matter? Just take a few with you. I need to use the rest.”Finn froze, then quietly said, “Chief Inspector, my father asked me to do this.”Yannick sighed.“Finn, it’s not that I’m disrespecting you.”“But something big is happening in Buckwood today.”“You’re aware of the change in South Light’s military force, right? The next first-in-command of the military force is about to arrive at the airport. Our men are needed there for security reasons.”“What? That’s happening right now? Then you should take most of them, just leave a few for
Bellamy Blake was taken aback for a moment, and after looking at Keith Yates carefully, he thoughtfully said, “Oh, it’s you, Sir Yates. Although I’m from the Gangnam military, I have heard of your name.”“Really?”Keith looked excited, feeling extremely honored.How would he know that Bellamy was also previously trained by Harvey? Bellamy had heard of him simply because he was Mandy Zimmer’s uncle.Keith thought that his name was so well-known, and he said at the moment, “If Commander Blake doesn’t mind, how about going to my house to have a chat?”“I prepared a light meal.”Bellamy smiled and said, “Don’t mention it, Sir Yates. I’m still not the Commander yet. I’ll have to wait for the formal appointment.”“Thus, it’s not suitable for me to meet you at the moment. Moreover, I’m here to find my former superior. So, I’m sorry!”Sheldon Xavier and others were here. At this moment, he was taken aback when he heard the words. He was surprised and said, “Commander Blake, could it be
In the car, Keith asked respectfully, “Commander Blake, where are we going?”“The Gardens Residence.” Bellamy Blake said.It was no surprise for Keith when he heard those words. The Gardens Residence was the most high-end community in the entire Buckwood.Who was this Chief Instructor? Even if he lived in seclusion after retiring, only such a place could match his status.Bellamy stopped speaking after saying this.It was indeed Harvey York who recommended him to serve in South Light.However, at the time, the Elder of the army was still trying to convince Harvey to be the Commander of the nine military departments, but Harvey rejected it.During the dialogues between both of the parties, Harvey casually mentioned that Bellamy was good.Therefore, Bellamy got promoted during the exchange of positions in the military this time.Bellamy was very grateful for this.Not only the Chief Instructor cared for the brothers when he was on the battlefield, but he still cared for them ev
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
