At the same time.Harvey York brought Oskar Armstrong over to South Light’s military force this time.Bellamy Blake immediately arranged a military plane and sent Oskar to Central Plains.When Oskar had left, Bellamy put on a frowned expression.“Chief Instructor, I have to take responsibility this time!“These people are too arrogant in Country H. I need to find a chance to knock some sense into them!”Harvey took a glance at him and replied calmly, “You can’t be doing these things with your current title. This matter might turn into an armed conflict between two countries if we don’t tread carefully.“Even though Country H doesn’t fear any country, the ones suffering would always be the citizens if we go to war.“That’s why we should prevent anything from escalating as long as we can afford it…”Bellamy then replied, “But these Americans are so arrogant!“Not only them, The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, the Fighting Tribe, the Island Nation, Country J, India and the ot
Butler Yates seemed helpless while the Third Master Yates was throwing a fit of rage.“Third Master, according to the information I received from my sources, Oskar Armstrong is already at Central Plains. Under these circumstances, there’s no way for us to bring him back!”Third Master Yates took a deep breath and regained his composure.“Bring him back from Central Plains? There are so many big shots there! Do you think I’m an idiot?“Do we have an idea of who sent Oskar away?”“It should be Harvey York!” Butler Yates said.“I heard that Harvey was the one that got Oskar on a plane himself!”Clang!Third Master Yates smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, then furiously exclaimed, “Bastard!“This damn bastard!“Not only did he turn my son to be in a vegetative state, but he also sent away Oskar?! Is he asking for his own funeral?”Butler Yates then quietly replied, “Third Master, I did a background check on Harvey York. He’s a driver working for Prince York of Sky Cor
At the CEO’s office.Yvonne Xavier was amending some files when she saw the person from the front desk anxiously walking toward the office to report to her.“Miss Xavier, someone sent an invitation.”“The contents of it aren’t normal either. So, please have a look!”Yvonne took a short glance at the invitation and frowned almost immediately.It was because the invitation was not an actual invitation but a threat letter.The contents inside were simple. Prince York was demanded to show up on time at the banquet tomorrow night.Soon, the invitation was sent to Harvey York’s desk.Holding the invitation, he smiled.Yvonne, on the side, was quite perplexed.“CEO, are you still planning to show up to this so-called banquet even when the Third Master Yates is behaving this horribly?”Harvey then replied calmly, “Of course I’m going. How can I not?“Don’t you see it here? If I chose not to go, it might turn into a diplomatic dispute.“Some people might need some sense knocked int
Grandma Yates was utterly refreshed.When was the last time the Yates family even get this dignified? They were not this prestigious previously, even with Keith Yates around.The previous Yates family only had a bit of status in the government. In addition, the other families did not look up to them because of their lack of property.But everything was different back then.Now, with the support of the Yates family from America, everyone would need to indulge them no matter what.Ben Yates was showing pride on his face while welcoming the guests. All the wealthy people from big families who looked at him with disdain before showed utmost interest.Some rich daughters even left their contacts on their own, hinting that they could deepen their friendship in the future.Ben felt like he was in a dream.Phoebe Yates, on the other hand, was being sought after by everyone. In those people’s eyes, she was the woman that would marry the Chief Instructor soon.They would need to build a
With the guests flooding in, it was soon the beginning of the evening banquet.When everyone was seated properly, they saw that the main seat was still empty.Right when the clock struck eight, then all of the Yates family gathered in front of the hall and exclaimed, “Welcome, Third Master Yates!”To the anticipation of the crowd, Third Master Yates came out from the back hall while holding his hands.He was wearing a green suit. It looked simple, but golden silk was used to embroider dragons on it. It looked fierce.Third Master Yates had an immense aura at this moment. He was a big character that had a high status for a long time. A simple gesture or gaze from him alone could make the crowd stand up on their own.Some of the big characters even sighed in private when they looked at Third Master Yates.‘As expected from Third Master Yates. An aura and mannerisms like that, who could possibly compare to him?’Some people even started to think that Buckwood or maybe even the ent
Grandma Yates was trembling in anger when she exclaimed furiously, “Bastard! What do you even know?! We were already family with the Yates family from America since the beginning!“You dare to slander the Yates family from Buckwood again. I’ll get someone to break your legs!”Harvey York then replied calmly, “You know full well if the Yates family from America actually recognize you as a person. Was there a need for me to remind you?”The crowd was perplexed after hearing those words.They had to admit. The live-in son-in-law was speaking the truth.The Yates family from Buckwood was nothing in front of the Yates family from America!Ben Yates stood up and pointed at Harvey at this moment and then said coldly, “Harvey York, you still dare to show up in front of our family? Are you even worthy?”Harvey casually glanced at him with a calm demeanor.“All of you think this is the Golden Temple or something? It’s a dog pound. I’ll come and leave as I please.”“You kept-in live-in s
“Kneel!”Ben Yates chuckled coldly while walking toward Harvey York. He was about to press onto Harvey’s shoulders to force him to kneel.But how could he possibly press him down?“Kneel right now!”Ben felt like he was embarrassing himself in front of Third Master Yates. He desperately kept trying to push him now.“Croak!”Harvey suddenly gave a slap across Ben’s face.Ben was sent flying. His body was twitching when he finally landed on the ground.It went silent!To the point where you could hear a pin drop!Everyone could not believe what they saw.The Yates family was especially dumbfounded.What sort of identity did they have at this moment? What kind of status did they have?‘How dare this filth, Harvey, hit him like this?!’“Croak—”As Ben struggled to get back up, Harvey already walked over to step on his neck.Everyone gasped when they saw what was happening. Then, all of them also showed unbelievable looks on their faces.Ben Yates…Died?!Third Master Yat
Third Master Yates waved his hand at this moment, then exclaimed coldly, “Just let him go for now. Today is a big day for the Yates family. There’s no rush.“When the marriage with the Chief Instructor is settled, it’ll be easy to squash this bug later!”Grandma Yates froze over, then shyly replied, “Third Master, you’ve thought of everything! It won’t take us long to deal with a mere live-in son-in-law anyway!“The Chief Instructor’s visit is the main event tonight!”“If we can get the Chief Instructor to marry into our family, the Yates family will surely be the greatest family in all of South Light!”Just like that, Harvey left under everyone’s gaze.Third Master Yates then regained his unbending expression at this moment, then calmly asked, “Didn’t you say that the Chief Instructor was coming? When will he be here?”Grandma Yates then bowed and replied, “He didn’t specify the time, but I assume he’s almost here.“I’ll ask someone to call him.”After a short while, Leyton L
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
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
