Yvonne Xavier followed him from behind with a concerned look on her face. She was a beauty after all and just by walking behind Harvey York at that time, she caught everyone’s eyes. “Sir, it was my responsibility. From now on, I will definitely take good care of my subordinates.” Yvonne noticed that Harvey was only concentrating on his phone so she could only speak to him from behind while bowing slightly.“Is it?” Harvey spoke nonchalantly, “This isn’t the first time.”Yvonne was about to cry out of desperation. She said, “Sir, just forgive me for this time. You gave me the life I have now and I have always been loyal to you. I beg you to give me another chance. Please.”Harvey spoke indifferently, “Actually, I have never blamed you. In all these years, you have worked for the York family conscientiously. It wasn’t an easy task for you as well to build the foundation for this company in my place. However, have you not pampered your men a little too much?”“Sir, I promise that th
A shopkeeper walked towards them immediately. After he had a look on Harvey, he spoke with slight hesitation, “Mister, this model is our shop’s limited edition. It costs two thousand, not a two hundred. Also, we need to get the stocks from other outlets. Are you sure that you want them?” He could not blame the shopkeeper for having such hesitation either as there were only limited stocks for the phone. However, that model was a big hit and was only common within the upper class of the society. An ordinary man’s monthly salary could not even reach two thousand dollars. Therefore, it was quite impossible for them to own one of these phones.At that time, Harvey was wearing the clothes he got from a thrift shop and he looked poor for obvious reasons. He did not look like someone who could take fifteen grands out of his pocket.Harvey was speechless. It seemed like it was a must for him to get a set of better-looking clothes.Yvonne burst into laughter. Clearly, she rarely had the chanc
Weston Jackman was stunned for a moment as well.That was it? What did she mean by ‘Starry Clouds Entertainment did have good taste’?Shouldn’t she just take the name card, excitingly invite him to a place to have a drink and then settle everything accordingly like how he planned it out?In the adults’ world, the art of equivalent exchange was that simple and straightforward.However, what exactly did this beauty mean by her actions? Was she looking down on him? Or was it because of the poor-looking guy beside him?At this moment, Weston finally took Harvey York seriously and glared at him. The next moment he smiled gently, “Milady, is it because of the man beside you, so you did not dare to accept my invitation? You need to think carefully, this is your future and you will only have a chance like this for once in your lifetime. If you miss it, you can’t cry over spilt milk.”When Yvonne was busy showing the new features on the phone to Harvey, Weston who was beside her started t
“Holy sh*t! Is he a wealthy man with a low profile?”“He didn’t look twice before swiping his card. That’s awesome!”“Does he own any properties?”Seeing Harvey York acting so frank, the crowd became momentarily stunned.Among the crowd, Weston Jackman was the one who could see most clearly. As soon as Harvey pulled out the card, he too let out a startled gasp.“An Amex Black Card!” At his exclamation, pin drop silence enveloped the entire store.The crowd might not have seen the Amex Black Card, but it did not mean that they had never heard about it before.A holder of the Amex Black Card would need to have at least a few hundred millions of cash in his bank account. Cash, not assets! Even for a big shot like Weston, he only had a few hundred thousands of cash in his hands. How exactly does a few hundred millions of cash look like?For a card like that, there couldn’t be more than five of them in Niumhi!Even the shopkeeper was shocked. Was he going to make a fortune that d
“Babe, I noticed you like that phone very much. How about I buy it for you?” Weston Jackman grabbed the opportunity to approach Yvonne. Without giving her any chance to reject him, he handed out his bank card. “Swipe mine!”“Poor rat, do you know what a silver card is? I suggest you put in more effort the next time you try to show off again.” Weston looked at Harvey arrogantly. “People are still willing to believe you if you used a silver card, but an Amex Card? My ass!” “Wow! So that’s a silver card. I heard that you will need more than a hundred and fifty million dollars in your bank account in order to get one!”“Mr Jackman is indeed the richer one! And he’s such a humble guy!”“Comparing the two is simply unpleasant!”“...”Harvey was about to pass out from anger. He undoubtedly had almost fifteen billion in his account, but was undermined by someone with only almost a million. He was f*cking speechless.The problem was, he could not explain why himself.Yvonne could not b
“Mr. York, what just happened?” A confused Yvonne Xavier asked Harvey in their Ferrari.“Let me make a call and inquire about that.” Harvey York did, and was dumbfounded when he received the answer. He said, “The bank informed me that the default spending limit for my card was seven hundred and fifty thousand a month. As I just withdrew seven hundred and fifty thousand in cash recently, I exceeded my quota. If I want to increase the limit, I need to go to the bank and sign an agreement.” “Pfft…”Yvonne couldn’t hold back her amusement. She had never expected something like that would actually happen.Harvey was speechless as well at the fact that such a silly thing could occur to him. It seemed it was necessary for him to stop by the bank or he would have trouble with his daily spending.“About the phone, you can consider it a gift from me.” Yvonne flashed him a gentle smile. This amount of money didn’t really mean much to her. “Alright, I’ll buy you something else in the fut
He dared not make the slightest move. Yvonne Xavier may appear all tough and mighty, but based on what Harvey York knew, she had never been in a relationship. In this situation, he wouldn’t be surprised if she stabbed him with a knife the moment she returned to her senses… Yvonne started to stutter. “Sir… sir… Are you done hugging me?”“Oh!” Harvey immediately released her. He himself did not notice that he was subconsciously hugging her. Harvey turned incredibly awkward, and he could only let her go. Yvonne sprang up in an instant, but a bashful expression remained on her face.Both of them could only feel that the situation was too f*cking awkward. Even for a self-admitted shameless person like Harvey, he was unable to bear the awkwardness of the whole situation.Yvonne became all the more embarrassed. She said, “I heard… you were married for three years.”Harvey fell into a brief silence. After a while, he spoke. “Well, let’s not talk about that. I need you to lend me your
Yvonne Xavier noticed Harvey York walking towards her. She smiled and said, “Please wait for a moment, sir. Breakfast will be ready soon.”Harvey gazed at Yvonne with suspicion. For some reason he couldn’t fathom, he had an inkling that Yvonne was not treating him as warmly as she usually did.Harvey enjoyed a pleasant night’s sleep, but he did not know that Yvonne spent the whole time tossing and turning in bed. She had wondered whether she should open the door on the chance Harvey came knocking.It turned out that Harvey was as senseless as a piece of log and had none of that intention. The fact really got on Yvonne’s nerves.After finishing breakfast, they did not stay any longer at Yvonne’s house. Yvonne drove her Bentley and dropped Harvey at York Enterprise. It was already nine o’clock in the morning, and people were gradually bustling into the area.A large group of people had gathered at the main entrance of the York Enterprise for unknown reasons. There were workers from
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
Boom! Boom! Boom!There was a string of explosions in mid-air. The bolts had also been engulfed by the explosion. Even after Harvey had managed to negate the attacks, he didn't stop. He grabbed the rocks from the ground with his hand.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Several elites hidden in the shadows instantly lost their fighting skills."He really is a True Warrior," Clarion muttered when he saw what happened. He wasn't even sure what to say.He thought he should be able to put himself to some use this time, hence why he asked to come with Harvey. He didn't expect Harvey to be so powerful that he needed others at all.Very quickly, all the attackers gathered. It was obvious they knew they couldn't do anything to Harvey anymore."These people are from the Origin Sword Style!" Clarion said seriously after he looked at what the attackers were wearing. "They're quite troublesome. While they look like they're over-the-top, they're most likely sacrificial soldiers. But the problem is t
"Of course, if we can maintain absolute discretion, we can escape without alerting anyone once we find Ms. Mandy," Clarion said, remaining positive. "That way, we don't have to fight and draw the attention of those who hold power in Sky Plane."Harvey was sitting in the van. He frowned and looked at the buildings with clear Island Nation influence. "Since Daichi is blackmailing me using Mandy, that means they're confident we won't be able to take her away. I believe we'll have to fight with those from the Origin Sword Style today."Harvey gave it a thought for a while and said, "And don't you think that the information Vaida gave us is too accurate? As if someone left behind an opening for us."Clarion's eyes widened. "Don't tell me this is a trap just for us?"Harvey shook his head. "Not only for us, but also for Grand City. If we're really stuck here… It doesn't matter if we're killed or captured alive, we'll become the excuse for them to attack Grand City. This time, we must…"
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
