A man like Chris Leo did not require to highlight his identity with luxurious items at all.The suit that he wore was designed and tailored by a top-class Italian designer.The watch on his wrist was also a high-end product. It cost one hundred and fifty million dollars, limited all around the world.It was safe to say that no ordinary person would see how extraordinary the things he wore were, but the more knowledgeable people would.Not just ordinary people.Even first or second-rated families needed to fight their whole lives just to acquire this attire!And even though the Leo family was not one of the top ten families, there were minor differences between them.If a big character like this were to show up, not just the first-in-command of Buckwood, even the first-in-command of South Light, Sheldon Xavier would need to pay his respects.At this moment, Chris immediately ignored Harvey and strolled toward Yvonne while smiling.“Aren’t you, Ms. Xavier? Why didn’t you give me
“And you were actually parading around with a man outside while we’re in the middle of marriage discussions?“And if I were to ask for a fair statement from the Xaviers, this man might need to die for it, right?”Chris Leo was showing a faint smile on his face. He looked at Harvey York with full of disdain.In the past, he did not want to argue with Harvey, the stink bug. But when the bug was right in front of him, he would need to take action himself.After listening to his words, Yvonne’s face had lost all color.She knew full well the capabilities of the Xaviers from Wolsing. If the Leos actually went up to the Xaviers’ doorstep, the family would surely take action against Harvey, even if it was only for pride.And could Harvey, the retired former chief instructor, really be able to deal with two top families?Especially the Xaviers from Wolsing, they were one of the ten top families!Without a second thought, Yvonne closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly opened
Harvey York finally looked at Rocco Ortiz and then said calmly, “I’m not in the mood to squash a small fry like you. While I’m still in a good mood, you should crawl out of here, and I won’t pursue this matter any further.“If not, I can guarantee you that you won’t need to even eat for the rest of your life.”He would not stop until he shocked people with his words!Not only did Harvey not give in, he even dared to say something like this, making the whole crowd in shock.After almost a minute of complete standstill, everyone then came back to their senses.“Hahaha, where did this hothead come from? You know that Representative Ortiz represents Prince Leo, right?”“If he apologized to you, would you even dare to accept it?”“Yeah, who even are you?! Since Prince Leo gave the order, you have to crawl out of here today!”“If you don’t, we’ll show you the way out!”The staff and fighters were all subordinates of the Leo family from Hong Kong. Instead of being ashamed, they were
After Yvonne Xavier’s expression changed for a moment, and she then whispered, “CEO, I’ll go ask my grandfather to show up and mediate the affair for us.”Harvey York smiled.“Why mediate the affair? If Chris Leo didn’t escape earlier, I could guarantee that he won’t be needing to eat for the rest of his life.”Yvonne sighed, not knowing what to say at that moment.After Harvey had sent Yvonne home, she left quietly and arrived at the Xaviers’ residence.“Grandfather, something happened. Please help Harvey! Out of all the people in South Light, only you can help him right now!”The sound of Yvonne kneeling in front of Sheldon Xavier could be heard.Yvonne never wavered even for her own affairs, but she did not want Harvey to provoke the Leo family and the Xavier family at the same time just because of her.Especially the Xaviers from Wolsing.Yvonne was a part of the family, so she knew full well how scary the capabilities of the Xaviers from Wolsing were.Even if Harvey was
“Fine, I accept!”Even though Yvonne Xavier was highly reluctant, she would do anything in her power to get Harvey York out of trouble.She had made her decision. Even if Chris Leo were able to marry her in the end, he would never have her.She was also ready to bring Chris down with her!At this moment, Yvonne’s sister-in-law, Rita Lawson, laughed coldly and said, “Grandfather, simply having a promise on some things just isn’t enough. Maybe we should get her to sign an agreement first?”The crowd of Xaviers all agreed in unison after hearing those words.Soon, an agreement was made. According to the promise, if the Xavier family could relieve Harvey of his danger, Yvonne would have to marry Chris.Yvonne’s expression was as dark as night, gritting her teeth while she finally signed the pact.All the Xaviers displayed blissful expressions on their faces.With the Leo family as their family-in-law, the Xaviers from Wolsing would definitely have the chance to rise once again str
The Xaviers from South Light all did not know about Harvey York’s true identity.They all nodded in unison after hearing those words.“Prince Leo truly has great foresight. Announcing the marriage on an occasion like this is equivalent to make the relationship between the Leos and the Xaviers from Wolsing public!”“With the chief instructor, Oskar Armstrong, the first-in-command of South Light’s military force along with the others as witnesses. This is an affair that will shake the entire country!”“After this, the status of the family will surely rise up quickly!”At this moment, nobody cared about Yvonne’s expression.In their eyes, selling out Yvonne for so many benefits was a business worth making!***At the same time, inside a luxurious villa.Chris Leo was attending to an important guest.The guest was none other than the Leo family’s distant relative, Jessie Tate.Jessie’s family was a branch of the Leo family, but the Leos never looked up to them.But Jessie was d
Jessie Tate was showing utmost admiration and respect written on his face.The Chief Instructor of Sword Camp was a myth in the military force, a living legend.Chris Leo then slightly trembled and asked, “What? A chief instructor might even be able to take the position of an Elder in the military force? Are you serious?!”“There’s no doubt about it. Who else would even have the right to do so other than him?” Jessie lamented.Chris took a deep breath and swiftly replied, “If that’s the case, then we should be fighting for his acknowledgment!“If he wills it, then it wouldn’t only be about my marriage this time. The important thing is that we’ll also have connections with the future Elder of the military force!”“Maybe we can even use the connection to put the Leos on the leaderboard as one of the top ten families!”Chris held off mentioning one more thing. If he could be acquainted with the Chief Instructor, then nobody would dare to threaten his position as Prince in the entir
At the same time.At the Yates family’s house.Grandma Yates, Carson Cloude, and Callum Robbins all stood up straight.As a first-rate family in Buckwood, those three showing up had meant that was something big happening.And not far away from them, a man wearing a black suit stood still with his left hand up while staring at his palm.There was an unspeakable aura surrounding the man. He did not do anything special, but the atmosphere had made Grandma Yates and the others freeze in place, not even being able to breathe.After a long while, Grandma Yates and the others all regained their courage after the man put down his left hand and said, “Young Master, what brings you here?“You didn’t call us beforehand to fetch you either.”Quinton York then replied, “If I’m any later, the four first-rated families will all be dead in a ditch.”Grandma Yates and the others all had a slight change in their facial expressions after hearing those words.Quinton was furious.At this moment
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
