On the next day.Buckwood Exhibition Center was in full swing to prepare for the forum.There had already been more than a thousand businesses that signed up to attend the forum.It was safe to say that this would be one of the biggest investment and business engagement forums ever to be held at Country H.Sasha Larson and her co-workers had arrived at the exhibition center early in the morning.“Sasha, I’m already in Buckwood. I’ll be going to meet Consultant York with Tim Zepeda from Buckwood Education System. You must seize the opportunity!“Other than the man, you must acquire the research project as well!”The deputy dean of Mordu University, Sasha’s godfather, Percy Williams, gave her a phone call.“Rest assured, Godfather. I’ll complete my mission!“There is no man in the world that I can’t get!”Sasha was joyfully making her look more beautiful at this moment.She had always been confident about her good looks.Her idolizers were showing admiration at this moment as
They had constantly been trying to defame this man with all their power.The king of all kept men in Buckwood was a title that they made up for him.In their eyes, Harvey York was no better than a street rat trembling in a corner, waiting for an opportunity to leave Buckwood.But Harvey was actually in the exhibition center!And he was standing with the deputy dean!Sasha Larson’s brain was literally fried. She subconsciously shouted at this moment, “Harvey, you filth! What are you doing here?! This isn’t someplace where you can just come to!”Everyone was dead silent after hearing her words.The staff members all tilted their heads up and glared at Sasha with an unbelievable expression, as if she did something heinous.Sasha felt chills crawl up her spine after feeling everyone's gaze.An unbelievable thought popped up in her head!At this moment, a staff member immediately walked up to her from the side and whispered, “Representative Larson, what are you saying?! He’s the a
Sasha Larson came back to her senses after being kicked around on the ground.She screamed horribly, “Godfather, please stop! Please stop! It hurts!”Percy Williams trembled even harder after hearing Sasha call him that. He immediately grabbed Sasha by the neck, lifted her up, and then constantly slapped her across the face.“Who’s your godfather?! Huh?!“Who’s your godfather?!“I’ll beat you to death if you keep on spouting nonsense!”Percy knew that he would be finished if he showed that he had relations with Sasha.Percy stopped his hand after a long while. Sasha’s cute little face was utterly ruined.She was twitching on the ground helplessly at this moment. Blood and tears were forming on the corners of her eyes.She never thought that Harvey York had an identity like this.If she knew, she would indulge him every chance she had! She would not even dare to offend him!But Harvey had no intention of letting the “father and daughter” off the hook.At that moment, he said
Since the man had spoken, he had no other choice but to cooperate.Mordu University had sent out an emergency message soon after apologizing to the citizens publicly and cleared Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer’s family name.At the same time, Sasha Larson was exposed using her good looks to do unspeakable things with the deputy dean of Mordu University, her so-called Godfather.Sasha was expelled from Mordu University.Percy was expelled as well.Both of them had a big fight in front of the university. Both of them also sustained severe injuries.But because of their notoriety, both of them turned into street rats. Nobody even bothered to send them to a hospital.Nobody even batted an eye even after they were lying on the ground for quite a while. They could only struggle to stand back up on their own in the end, limping to the hospital for treatment.After that, the duo had disappeared without a trace. It was said that they lived miserable lives.***Right when the investment a
At Buckwood Hotel.A few representatives of big businesses from Mordu gathered together. One of the men leading the group was Charlie Gibbs.He was standing on the side of a wine table at this moment while speaking respectfully on the phone.“Master Todd, rest assured. We remember what you asked of us!”“We’ll make sure to film a spectacular movie tonight. This woman will be robbed of her standing and reputation!”Charlie was showing an evil smirk.The Jean family actually controlled the few businesses that came from Mordu from behind the scenes.Todd Jean had given them orders last night. Charlie and the others would naturally do as he asked.After Charlie hung up the phone, he started to chug yogurt along with the other representatives. Yogurt is used to cure hangovers, and it has proven to be quite effective.Around half an hour later, the members of Regency Enterprise pushed the door and came inside.Charlie showed a sullen face while standing in front when he saw many pe
Looking at Mandy Zimmer being hesitant, Charlie Gibbs smiled.“CEO Zimmer, even strong forces like ours can’t meddle with local powerhouses! Regency Enterprise is the local authority, after all! Don’t tell me that you’re actually scared!”The others burst out laughing.“CEO Zimmer, you can’t be doing business if you can’t drink!”“Everyone that does business are all really good drinkers!”“We won’t force you if you don’t want to drink, but you can only abide by our terms of conditions in return!”Several bosses looked unperturbed, as if they had Mandy under their control.Harvey York walked up suddenly after seeing Mandy frown.“Alright, we accept!”All the higher-ups of Regency Enterprise glared at Harvey furiously after seeing him speak. They felt that Harvey did not have the right to represent Regency Enterprise.And Harvey was the one to blame for what happened to Regency Enterprise.Mandy sighed. She seemed a little disappointed as her gaze landed on Harvey.She wanted
Naturally, Mandy Zimmer knew full well that there would be no need to talk business if she changed her mind.Charlie Gibbs and the others let out a broad smile as if they had won.Everything was according to their plan. They felt delighted.That night, they would film a movie starring Mandy herself!As for Harvey York, the idiot, they would just spare him a few dollars when everything would be said and done.At that moment, Harvey walked up and then looked at Charlie with a sarcastic expression.“I only have one condition. You’d have to outdrink me before you can have a turn with CEO Zimmer!“If not, you have no right to drink with her!”“Alright then! Let’s have at it!”Charlie and the others could not wait any longer.Harvey was only one man, so what if he could drink a thousand glasses?They had ten men!“Right! Since we’re drinking, other miscellaneous people cannot be here. We wouldn’t want anybody else drinking for each other now!”Charlie glanced at the higher-ups a
“Come! Another round!”Rounds after rounds had passed.Finally, Charlie Gibbs and the others drank about forty ounces of liquor.Harvey York was even more insane. He drank at least four hundred ounces alone.But his face was still indifferent as if there was nothing wrong with him.Not only did the sight scare Charlie, but it also frightened Mandy even more. Her expression was horrible at this moment.She thought he was bluffing, but he was actually this capable!Charlie and the others drank yogurt earlier on to increase their alcohol tolerance.But they still felt horrible after drinking forty ounces of liquor.“Everyone, are you still holding up? Let’s continue for a few more rounds!” Harvey said while smiling, then asked the waiter to bring more potent liquor.Charlie and the others could barely hold in their bladder after seeing the sight.But they were in disbelief. They felt that Harvey could not possibly hold on any longer.Soon, liquor that had up to sixty percent a
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
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
