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
Mandy Zimmer’s attitude irritated Norton Yates.After all, his words were always prized and obeyed by everyone. The Yates of America were like kings in the state of Texas.When they had business in other countries, the Yates did things recklessly and fearlessly as they had America as their back.This was the first time someone dared to reject him, which instantly made him dissatisfied. He sneered. “There are things which you can’t dictate and control merely with your words, Mandy Zimmer!“Now that you have half the blood of the Yates, you’re nothing but a mere servant in our eyes!“How can a servant have the right to go against a master’s command?!”Mandy had a perplexed look on her face as she asked, “Mr. Norton, in a modern and civilized society like this, are your mindsets still stuck in the feudal era?“Master? Servant? Are you joking?“Also, the shares of Regency Enterprise are gifted by an authority. Even if I want to transfer the shares, I could only do that to the autho
Seeing how Mandy Zimmer was still acting stubborn and determined during a moment like this, everyone in the Yates family felt excited and satisfied.That’s because the more stubborn Mandy became, the worse the situation she would be in!At that moment, the Yates couldn’t help but to fuel the fire.“Mr. Norton, Mandy Zimmer has always been this disrespectful towards the elders. Putting aside the Yates of Buckwood, she wouldn’t even care if it’s you, the esteemed Yates family from America!”“That’s right! A person like her needs a lesson!”“There’s no need to say anything more to someone like her. Just beat her up and beat her cruelly. She’d only feel scared once that pretty face of hers is ruined after getting hit!”Everyone from the Yates family acted and spoke ruthlessly like bullies.If it weren’t for Norton Yates’ presence, they would’ve hit Mandy to death themselves.Norton waved his right arm to stop the Yates from continuing their tirade.Then, his cold gaze landed on Ma
Slurp!Norton Yates wetted his lips with his tongue as his gaze landed on Mandy Zimmer’s slim waistline.For him, Mandy Zimmer, who stood before him, was a dish.A delicious, mouth-watering dish.He’d get more excited if he started from her waist.Norton became so excited that he almost growled, imagining how Mandy would be twitching on the ground wailing in pain.Looking at Norton’s twisted expression, Mandy closed her eyes hopelessly.She didn’t think that anyone would be able to save her at the moment like this.Boom!However, at this crucial moment.Someone suddenly kicked off the entrance to the Yates’ family home.The giant door was smashed to the ground and made a loud bang.Everyone at the scene couldn’t help but turn over toward the direction of the sound.Everyone from the Yates family shuddered. After all, they were traumatized.Norton, on the other hand, knitted his brows together. Someone interrupted him just as he’s about to enjoy something. This obviously m
Norton Yates unconsciously shivered while being watched by Harvey York’s cold eyes.However, he became angry the next moment and shouted, “Take him down!”Following Norton’s order, the four blonde-haired and blue-eyed bodyguards who had initially held Mandy Zimmer stood upright and walked toward where Harvey was.They casually cracked their necks and knuckles. Those popping sounds could be heard and were a strong deterrent.“Honey, close your eyes. I’ll deal with this matter.”Harvey urged Mandy, fearing that she would be frightened.“Huh!”The bodyguard instantly sneered and threw a punch toward Harvey’s face.However, Harvey did not move an inch. Instead, he raised his right hand, directly grappled the opponent’s fist, and threw him down. The bodyguard was lying down on the ground moments after.Then, Harvey stepped on his face and kept stomping on it until it was crushed beyond recognition.The three remaining bodyguards showed fear on their faces and rushed forward at the
This scene caused the corners of the eyes of all the Yates family to twitch constantly, and they unconsciously backed away.There was not even one person who stepped forward to stop Harvey York at the moment.Slap!Harvey continued to poke with the cane in his hand toward Norton’s body.Norton’s clothes were ripped, leaving bloodstains that were right down to the bone on his body.Norton, who was initially standing, was thrown on the ground this time, rolling back and forth, screaming.Slap, slap, slap!Harvey did not intend to stop. Instead, he continued to do it indifferently.Finally, the cane broke. Only then, Harvey casually threw the broken piece in his hand on the ground.At this moment, Norton, who was on the ground, had no strength left to scream.He was no different from a dead person except for the occasional twitching of his body.Even if he was sent to the hospital now, it was hard to say whether he could be rescued or not.“Honey, let’s go home.”Harvey took
The eyes of the people from the Yates family were full of awe upon hearing Ben’s words.Grandma Yates even said, “Ben, according to what you said, does it mean that Third Master Yates could get rid of Harvey York by himself without resorting to external force?”“Of course, Third Master Yates could easily crush Harvey, the live-in son-in-law, regardless of fighting skills, wealth, or power!“Harvey would be over as long as the Third Master Yates is willing to come!“I don’t believe that Mandy still dared to be so stubborn as soon as Harvey was out of the story. In the end, Regency Enterprise would eventually fall into the hands of the Yates family!”The people from the Yates family exchanged glances after hearing this. Then, they burst into laughter.Putting it this way, the ones who would benefit in the end would be them, the Yates family of Buckwood, as long as this matter was handled properly.Grandma Yates pondered for a long time and said, “Ben, is there any way to let the T
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
