Wicked wanton laughter rang throughout the Yates’s Manor.Everyone present broke into cold sweat.Third Master Yates was inhumane.He was a devil from America!Who could challenge his power and status?The trembling Shane Naiswell ended up leaving with the help of Yoel Graham and several others.One by one, the guests left. Some of them couldn’t hold it in and vomited their dinner on the roadside. It was too terrifying!Third Master Yates’s terror was akin to a dark shadow cast deep into their hearts.Even the overseas companies’ representatives who had chosen the Third Master’s side, such as Morgan Financial Group, were filled with sheer horror.They came to the realization that the Third Master’s arrogance would certainly swallow them alive in the near future.Unfortunately, they had no choice. If they didn’t stand with the Third Master, they would be running headlong into the throes of death. That night, the entirety of Buckwood’s upper-class elites were shaken. Da
Harvey chuckled again. “Third Master Yates will perish if he attacks so soon.”“I’ll give him a week’s time. If he’s in such a hurry to die, he can’t blame me for not keeping any of my promises.”The truth was, Harvey really couldn’t be bothered about Third Master Yates.However, things might be more interesting if the Yateses of America gave their all in this matter.…At the same time.In Buckwood Royale Karaoke Box.George Zabel and Old Niner were drinking in the box.Their statuses took a significant turn compared to before.They now had Harvey York backing them. Plus, Tyson Woods had become the new king of South Light’s underworld.Because of these factors, their statuses rose with manic speed. These days, they had already begun to discuss how they could whitewash their reputations and start a clean, decent business.After all, Buckwood’s market nowadays was lucrative. If they truly wanted to make some contributions to Buckwood, Harvey would surely offer them the o
“What are you trying to do?!” George asked, his tone severe.“These two don’t want much. For now, all they want is to borrow your heads!”Butler Yates smiled and backed away, before closing the door shut.Old Niner and George Zabel exchanged dark looks.The next second, they each grabbed a chair and charged forth.There was nothing else to do. Even if they tried to run away, it wouldn’t help. “Argh!”Moments later, pained screams rang once more.Outside of the box, Butler Yates folded both his hands behind him, a smile on his face.Despite the unending shrieks from the inside of the karaoke box, there was little change in his serene expression. On the other hand, all of his underlings’ eyes were twitching.It was said that one needn’t do much to kill a person. Apparently, the two boxing champions didn’t share the sentiment. Only God knows the torment Old Niner and George Zabel, the two masters of Buckwood’s underworld, suffered under the hands of the boxing champions ins
The usual morning hustle and bustle of Buckwood was replaced by utter silence.Those from Buckwood’s upper class, who often paraded their wealth, were now hiding away in their respectives homes as they trembled in fear. The Yateses of America were truly arrogant!Although it’s said that one didn’t need to do much to kill another, the Yateses’ act of crushing one’s bones into pieces was beyond cruel. The victim couldn’t live or die in peace. The many families and corporations that had chosen to be neutral were now regretting their decisions. Every single one of them feared getting attacked by the Yateses of America.This was especially true for the Naiswells. Despite being a top class family, they didn’t have the nerve to operate their businesses today. All of the family guards were situated at every inch of the Naiswell Manor. None of the Naiswells dared to take a step outside. Shane Naiswell knew full well that Third Master Yates’s attack last night was merely a warning.His
In one of the antique shops owned by the Naiswells… Rosalie Naiswell asked the staff to put away several precious antiques. She then closed the shop, about to leave.Just then, a few large men surrounded her. “You must be Miss Rosalie of the Naiswells, right?”“My master would like to meet you.”They spoke in a polite way.The startled Rosalie had an inkling where they might have come from. She said coldly, “I’m sorry. I still have some things to settle here, so I’ll see him another day.”The shop staff were somewhat frightened, but they also knew that this could be their chance to show off their valor. They stood in front of Rosalie.“Miss Naiswell, aren’t you too naïve to rely on just a few ordinary people to protect you?”The other party flashed her a grim smile.Moments later, screams rang out from the shop. In the end, Rosalie was taken away, leaving only the wailing staff.***Soon after, Tyson made a call to Harvey.“CEO York! We just got word that Miss Naiswell
Rosalie was still conscious. She stammered, trembling, “Third Master Yates! If you treat me this way, rest assured that my grandfather will fight with you until his last breath!”“Fight me until his last breath? Is he worthy?”Third Master Yates’s tone was full of mockery.“It’s just the Naiswells. If I desire it, your family could be ruined the very next day!”“But don’t worry. I won’t kill you.”“When the two of them have enough fun, I’ll leave you at the Naiswells’ gate. I want Shane Naiswell to understand the price he’ll pay after rejecting me in person!”Third Master Yates turned and left, the perverse grin still hanging on his lips.The two Texas boxing champions began to undress, wretched grins on their faces, as they prepared to assault Rosalie.Rosalie closed her eyes in despair. Harvey’s face appeared in her mind at that very moment, though she was unsure of the reason why. Just then, the balcony on the other side was suddenly kicked open. Bang!The two Texas boxin
The Yateses of Buckwood, who were serving by the side, shuddered.Third Master Yates’s underlings were terrible! They committed such abnormal acts.However, none of them dared to express their thoughts before Third Master Yates. Instead, they squeezed out a smile and simpered, “The way Third Master Yates’s men do things is indeed beyond one’s imagination!”“However, this is still the center of Buckwood City. It’s a good thing that there are no screams. We can avoid unnecessary troubles.”Butler Yates glanced at them and snapped frostily, “Presumptuous! When is Third Master Yates ever afraid of trouble?”“No matter if someone hears the sound, this is only Buckwood. Who dares to stop it?”“Yes, yes. We said the wrong thing!” One of the Yateses was so frightened, he almost fainted on the spot.To him, Third Master Yates was a despot, moody and terrifying. He dared not slip up and say the wrong thing, for fear he would end up horribly.Third Master Yates was not angry. Instead, he
“Your granddaughter? I didn’t do anything to her! On the contrary, she helped me a lot.” Third Master Yates grinned once more.“Help?” Shane was stunned for a brief moment, overwhelmed.“She’s helping me serve my two Texas boxing champions well. They’ve been holding back for too long, after all. Such beauty should make them physically and mentally happy.” Third Master Yates’s smile turned cold.“You…!”Shane faltered.“Oh, right. She’s in the room at the corner of the corridor. Go and see for yourself.” Third Master Yates pointed to the location with a smile. He had no intention to stop them. Doing this kind of thing was a favourite of his.Letting the victim’s family watch how the victim was ruined.Such torture was countless times crueler than simply beating them.All of the Naiswells rushed over to the location. Third Master Yates followed as well, his hands folded casually behind his back.He was looking forward to seeing what would happen next.Unexpectedly, when Shane
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
