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
Mandy Zimmer was scared away from the box. The sight was utterly disgusting.Charlie Gibbs was dumbfounded. It was his first time experiencing something this embarrassing.“Everyone, let me help you!”Harvey York smiled while looking at the others.How could he not see through those people’s evil intentions?He just did not give them time to react and poured the liquor right into their mouths.“Blaaargh!”Soon, those people had no control over their bowels.“CEO Charlie, we’re just getting started! How about another round?”Harvey smiled while carrying the Drink of Life to Charlie.Charlie was rolling on the ground, full of pain and despair.He tilted his head up just to look at Harvey while showing an unbelievable expression.‘Is he even human?’‘This is insane!’‘He just doesn’t get drunk!’“I… I can’t do this anymore!”Charlie shook his head while trembling in fear.“That’s not good. According to our deal, we’d have to settle a score here!”Harvey was smiling.“I…
“Nothing! Nothing! I’m just trying to say that Brother-In-Law will never be a fit for you! You’re just too outstanding!“Hurry up and divorce him already!” Xynthia Zimmer said shyly.Mandy Zimmer tapped on Xynthia’s head and replied, “You’re always up to no good!“You shouldn’t meddle with things that concern your brother-in-law and me, alright?“We’re adults already. You should focus on your studies!”Xynthia clicked her tongue and replied, “Well, I’d need a book to study from first! If Brother-In-Law can’t figure this out, you have to hand him over as repayment!”“What?!” Mandy thought she heard wrong.“Xynthia, do you even understand what you’re saying?”Mandy could not believe what she heard.Her own sister is always up to no good! How could she say something like this? Xynthia puffed her chest and tilted her head.“Of course I understand! He’d have to be responsible for me if I can’t study because of him!”Xynthia’s heart was full of glee when she said those words.
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
