Regency Enterprise had received the attention of every single media channel in Buckwood that day.Many took out their phones and cameras to snap pictures and record footage of the people kneeling in front of the Regency Enterprise building.This scene made the so-called top-rated family, the Yateses, feel utterly humiliated.Their pride and dignity was ruthlessly trampled on.At that moment, they all secretly vowed in their hearts that they would snatch all of Mandy’s money.If they could get past this stage, then they’d throw this Mandy wench into brothels and the like!The shame that they felt today must be repaid tenfold!Grandma Yates didn’t kneel like the rest, but a burst of green and white flashed constantly across her face. She felt utterly ashamed.The Yates family had lost all dignity.But for Mandy to soften her heart, they could only endure it.The sight made even the cold and unfeeling Mandy perplexed.In her eyes, the Yates family couldn’t possibly kneel, simpl
Right when Mandy was swaying, the higher-ups behind her suddenly moved away.Harvey appeared.“Darling, it’s time for us to get off work.”The Yates family shivered in anger when they saw Harvey.They knew that Harvey was here to cause a ruckus.It was safe to say that if he were there, he’d definitely be up to no good.“Mandy, come talk to your grandmother. We share blood, after all!”“He’s just a live-in son-in-law! He has nothing to do with us.”Grandma Yates subconsciously wanted to tug on Mandy’s clothes.However, Harvey stopped the woman.He then took Mandy’s hand and said calmly, “Did you forget how these people treated you? Do you really think they care about family? They only care about the Regency Enterprise that you own right now.”“If you have no money, you’re nothing in their eyes.”“I…”Mandy bit her lip. She understood what Harvey meant, but she still hesitated.“The Yates family had already broken all ties with our family. They even held a press conference
“You people…”After being insulted and slandered by her so-called family, Mandy’s face lost all color. She started swaying slightly, almost falling flat on the ground.When did she ever get insulted in such a way?Soundless tears fell down her face.Finn chuckled.“You’re crying? What’s there to cry about? If you dare to do something shameless like this, of course we’ll say it out loud!”“You’re shameless!”Finn felt refreshed after saying all that.He then shot a challenging glare at Harvey.‘What can a live-in son-in-law like you do to me?’But in the next moment, Harvey stopped right in front of him and launched a kick at him.Bang!The so-called champion of the Police Force Fight League, Finn, did not even have the chance to react. Harvey’s kick immediately sent Finn flying.“Pffft!”Finn slammed right into a telephone pole and coughed out blood.Yet before he could stand back up, Harvey had already walked over and stomped on his head, then smashed his head furiousl
On the other side.Harvey took Mandy and left.There were many things they needed to take care of immediately within Regency Enterprise.Unfortunately, the Yates family’s appearance had affected Mandy’s mood. Thus, everything had to be pushed back to the next day.Harvey’s expression was as cold as ice. In his eyes, the Yates family was already finished.When he visited them, they’d be buried under the dust of history!…At the same time, in the Yateses’ residence.Finn was lying on the bed, his face twitching every once in a while. His expression was horrible.The rest of the Yateses were sitting beside him. Their faces were twitching as well.Finn had already been sent to the hospital before.However, the family didn’t have a single dollar to spare. As such, they couldn’t afford Finn’s treatment.That was why they could only return home in the end.They looked at Finn who had suffered heavy injuries, and then at the ancestral house that was already mortgaged.Sadness we
“The Yates family from America?” Grandma Yates mumbled.Soon, she was brimming with life.“I remember now. My late husband once said that a long time ago, his uncle went to America to expand the family. It went great for him, and he had a billion dollars worth of assets over in America!”“Are you one of his descendants?”The other Yateses heard what Grandma Yates said.The half-dead family stood up, now extremely motivated, and then bowed respectfully.The Yates family from America!They’ve all heard of the name before!In these xenophilic people’s eyes, these people from America were the same as princes and the nobility!For the Yates family from America to come all the way here wasn’t too different from private visits of kings during ancient times.“What happened here?” Norton asked, frowning.The Yates family from America had no interest whatsoever in the Yates family from Buckwood.But because of the Morgan Financial Group incident, they felt that they could find a spok
Norton was indeed quite talented.He took all the funds he had when he came to Buckwood. In under a single day, the Silver Nimbus Enterprise crisis was completely solved.At the same time, he transferred a huge sum of money into the company’s account.He wanted to rely on the company to proceed with his next step to invade Buckwood’s market.There were also other financial groups supporting the Yateses of America from behind the scenes. They had come to Buckwood as well, representing America’s interests.While the Yateses of Buckwood more or less knew about this, none of them had any sense of shame and justice, let alone patriotism.The only thing they cared about was the money and benefits they could reap.With enough money and support, they didn’t need to bat Mandy an eye anymore.Meanwhile, in the hall of the Yateses’ ancestral residence… Norton sipped some red wine as he listened to Grandma Yates complain about Mandy.“You mean to say that your family got to this point b
The moment the Yates family heard of Norton Yates’ words, giddiness flashed across their faces.This was what they call a total uplift in one’s social status!Now that they had the Yates from America supporting them, the Yates from Buckwood would be the most powerful family in Buckwood in the future!Recalling Mandy Zimmer’s attitude towards the Yates family, they were going to devise a plan to get revenge on her for sure!That night, everyone in the Yates family was too excited even to fall asleep.Most of them were already mentally gearing up, awaiting the next day to arrive.It’s because the event where they knelt before the entrance of Regency Enterprise was the most shameful thing in the history of the Yates family!After all, they’re from a family of state officials and had lived their lives like royalties. When had they ever been treated like that?Although there’s a saying that goes, it's never too late for a nobleman to get revenge, and now that this opportunity presen
The Yates from America were practically idols of the Yates of Buckwood.Arrogant, mighty, and wealthy!This kind of great family was what the Yates family aspired to become.Because only then would they be fearless of anyone at all.Norton Yates clapped his hand to get everyone’s attention before cracking a smile. “I’ll give you three minutes to summon Mandy Zimmer right this moment. If not, I don’t know what will happen.”After his sentence ended, more and more people appeared at the scene. Most of the workers of Regency Enterprise were cautiously watching Norton.It’s because all of them witnessed how good Norton's bodyguards were at fighting.The matter immediately shocked Mandy, who has initially been in a meeting with the authorities. She then went to the hall on the ground floor with several people following her behind.When she saw the Yates family standing behind Norton, Mandy’s expression changed as she could already guess what’s happening.“Mr. Norton, this is the sh
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
