“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
“Are you serious, Young Master?!”“If that’s the case, then we shall do whatever it takes and give you a surprise before the Ceremony of Changing Defenses!”Grandma Yates and the others were all rubbing their hands together.Dealing with Harvey York could be exchanged for their freedom. There were no better bargains in this world to them.Especially for the Yates family, they had never forgotten about Silver Nimbus Enterprise. Still, they were reluctant to take action since they would hinder the future first-in-command of South Light’s military force, Bellamy Blake.But now that Quinton York supported them, they were naturally unscrupulous.Looking at the few people that were highly exhilarated, Quinton’s expression had turned as cold as ice.He had already gotten word of Callum Robbins’ failure.He also knew about the Chief Instructor of Sword Camp attending the Ceremony of Changing Defenses for the first-in-command of the South Light’s military force.This was also the main
Grandma Yates shook her head. “No. I heard that the new king of South Light’s streets is Tyson Woods, who is Prince York’s subordinate.”“To utilize the people from the streets to make our move is basically suicide.”At this moment, a young man standing in the corner, the Prince of the Cloude family, Eric Cloude, walked out and interrupted in a deep voice, “Three Chiefs, I have something to say.”The three chiefs looked at him at the same time. After a while, Carson replied, “What do you think?”Eric placed his hands behind his back as he said aloofly, “Since we can’t use the men from the streets, we can use a different way. How about inviting people from outside of South Light?”“I heard there are many mercenaries on the border of Ohio who are on the edge of survival. As long as we give them money, they’re willing to do anything. We three families should join hands and invite these people. They should be able to get rid of Harvey without anyone’s knowledge.”Callum Robbins and G
“Pfft.” Harvey laughed. “You’re from Siam, right?”“Why should I go with you?”The man snarled coldly, “You’ve offended someone you shouldn’t.”Harvey frowned. “Who did I offend?”“Just come with us quickly! Don’t force us to do it the hard way. Don’t blame us if the two ladies behind there get ruined when we accidentally hurt them!”The man was already running out of patience.Although this area was at the outskirts of the city, it was likely that passers-by would drop by. If that happened, they might call the police.If the police came into play, things would be a little troublesome.“I can go with you, but can’t you at least tell me who I have offended?” Harvey questioned righteously.“Fine, I’ll let you know. The person you’ve angered is Young Master Eric Cloude from the Cloude family. He’s the one who hired us to take you away!”The man then immediately yanked open the car door, grabbed Harvey, and then threw Harvey into his van.Harvey did not resist because he was afr
The man lit up a cigarette. He only smiled after blowing out a smoke ring. “Harvey York, Prince York’s representative, the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmers. Am I right?”“Who are you?” Harvey was indifferent.“Let me introduce myself. I’m Eric Cloude.” Eric said politely.“Have I offended you?” Harvey frowned. He truly had no clue about the dispute between him and the Cloudes.“You didn’t offend the Cloude family, but you shouldn’t have offended the Second Young Master.” Eric replied with a smile.“Second Young Master?” Harvey frowned, “Are you talking about that trash Quinton York?”“Huh?” Eric was taken aback for a second. “Did you just call the Second Young Master trash?” What was Quinton’s status in South Light?Even if he was defeated and had retreated to Hong Kong, in truth only few dared to talk of him.“A centipede dies, but never falls.” The Yorks were certainly obstinate.Yet Harvey, who was in front of Eric, had casually called Quinton York trash.Eric was no fo
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
