Brother Fly was not the only one. Everyone else was just as bewildered.The way they looked at Harvey changed.What happened?Even Mandy was at a loss.She did ask the Yates family for help.Maybe the Yateses were actually quite powerful? Perhaps a phone call alone was enough to pressure Master Caesar?Thinking about it, this was expected. The Yateses controlled South Light’s police force, coincidentally making them a mobster’s worst enemy. Perhaps Harvey too understood this fact, which explained why he was acting so unscrupulously.Just then, another group of men stepped forth. The man leading the group was none other than Tyson Woods.“This…this is the new king of South Light’s streets, Tyson Woods!”“Right, that’s him! Why did he come here?!”Everyone gasped. To think a trivial matter like this could actually provoke a major figure like him to show up! Tyson didn’t care for the others and swiftly rushed toward Harvey. He automatically asked, “Sir York, are you alright?
The two jogged toward Harvey.Yoel Graham couldn’t help but let out a huge sigh of relief when he saw that Harvey was fine.Yannick Bisson immediately bowed in front of Harvey.The sight shocked the crowd utterly and completely.Who was Harvey York?!Why were these powerful people being so respectful toward him?!Especially Buckwood’s first-in-command, Yoel Graham!A major figure like him actually showed up!What did this mean?This meant that the live-in son-in-law had immensely powerful authority!Everyone’s gazes at Harvey changed. Some even started to fear him.Before, in everyone’s eyes, he was a mere live-in son-in-law who only knew how to be a kept husband. Suddenly, he changed into a major figure with a mysterious identity.Mandy’s face reflected complete disbelief. Did the Yateses really do this much for her and Harvey?She could understand why Master Caesar showed up. She could comprehend why Tyson Woods showed up, and she could even acknowledge why Yannick Bis
At the hall of the Yateses’ main residence. “Father, Mother. What’s going on? What’s the big rush?” Harvey asked.“I’m not sure, but the Yateses called me early this morning and told me they were going to announce something big.”“I think they might be preparing to return us a part of Silver Nimbus Company’s shares!”Lilian was exhilarated.“Right! The Yateses are your family-in-law after all. They must’ve discovered their conscience and couldn't bear to see us live on the streets!”Simon was also extremely excited.He was unable to sleep properly in the past few days. He had been worried about what he would rely on in the future to survive, but there was light at the end of the tunnel after all!Mandy discreetly whispered into Harvey’s ear, “Darling, you have to use this opportunity to thank Uncle and the others today. I think they know we’re setting up street stalls and feel bad about it. That’s why they gave us this chance.”Naturally, Mandy also had her expectations towar
Lilian stared at Grandma Yates in complete disbelief. The woman was Lilian’s own mother, yet how could she say something like that?She even invited media journalists for this whole thing!This was ruthless!Simon was terrified to the point his face lost all color. This matter was too serious. They might not even have the chance to beg for food after this!Mandy, on the other hand, couldn’t believe what she had just heard.Her grandmother and uncle already took away her shares worth three hundred million dollars, yet they wouldn’t even give her and her family a way to survive.The most important thing was that they even announced it publicly and let the whole world know.This was the equivalent of telling everyone that the Yates family was no longer supporting Mandy’s family from now on.“Grandmother, Uncle, why?!”“Didn’t you help us just yesterday?!”“Why are you treating us like this today?!” Mandy asked in disbelief. Keith found her words slightly odd, but he still chuc
The Yateses all burst out laughing after Harvey stood up to speak.In the Yateses’ eyes, Mandy and her family had no status whatsoever. Harvey was even lesser than them!“Grandma Yates, Keith. Do you believe you’ll come to regret what you’ve done today?”“The top-rated Yates family?” Harvey said, grinning. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to maintain the glory of being first-rated soon enough!” “Presumptuous!” Keith snarled coldly. “How dare you curse my top-rated Yates family like this?! Disobedient fool!” “You want the Yates family to repent? There’s just no way!”“Now that all of Mandy’s shares are in our hands, we have all the authority and wealth in the world! How could we possibly repent?!”“A live-in filth like you will never understand how strong the Yates family has become!”The Yateses chuckled derisively. In their eyes, Harvey was just a crazy person.“Shut up!”At that moment, Lilian finally came back to her senses. She yelled in a thunderous voice, standing still,
Harvey and the three soon left.His exclamation before he left was indeed filled with strong determination.But to say they wouldn’t be needing the Yateses’ support?Joining the top-rated Yates family was the biggest glory their family could ever achieve!“That live-in filth just can’t stop boasting even when his whole family’s at their wits’ end!”“Just let him run his mouth! That family doesn’t have anything to do with us anymore, anyway!”“He might even get killed because of his mouth! If that’s the case, we’ll all be at ease!”“It feels good chasing out a man with ill fortune!”“From today onward, the Yates family will officially be a top-rated family!”“Hahahaha…!”The Yates family laughed once more, as unrestrained and domineering as they could be.Mr. Barker knew exactly what to do at this moment. Immediately, he went to brown-nose the Yateses.“Congratulations, Madam Yates, Sir Yates! The Yates family is the only top-rated family from now on!”“Maybe you should cha
For a time, Mandy and her family fell into a tight struggle. They could only hide in their house, unable to go outside at all.Fortunately, the Ceremony of Changing Defenses of South Light’s military force would arrive two days after.Mandy and her family were only on the news for a whole day before the ceremony took over.Meanwhile, inside the Leo family’s manor… Chris Leo had prepared a gift.He called Jessie Tate over and took out the gift.“Commander Tate, what do you think about me giving this to the Head Coach tomorrow?” Chris asked, crossing his arms. Jessie glanced at it before replying, “Not bad. The Head Coach is from the military. He might be retired, but he’d like something like this.”“Good, very good.”Chris laughed.“Right, how’s the arrangement regarding the Head Coach acting as a witness for my wedding?”Jessie smiled.“There’s no problem. I’ve already contacted Ethan Hunt from Sword Camp. He said he had already requested the Head Coach about this and tol
Carson Cloude’s face regained some color after hearing Grandma Yates’ words.Callum Robbins smiled.“Do you have any plans for tomorrow, Grandma Yates?”Grandma Yates replied, “The Ceremony of Changing Defenses tomorrow will be held in the hall of South Light’s government. Aside from Bellamy Blake, the newly appointed first-in-command of South Light’s military, Oskar Armstrong and the Head Coach will be attending the ceremony as well.”“Tomorrow, Keith will arrange everyone’s seats. When that happens, whether you two can get support from the Head Coach or not depends on your capabilities.”At these words, Callum and Carson became exhilarated.They had known about the Head Coach’s legends.They even went to inquire information from the people in the military to understand the Head Coach’s status.If they could use this opportunity to meet the Head Coach, then the Robbins family, the Cloude family, and the Yates family would no longer need to rely on anyone else.“Hmph! When tha
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
