âCome! Another round!âRounds 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.âEveryone, are you still holding up? Letâs continue for a few more rounds!â 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.âEveryone, let me help you!âHarvey York smiled while looking at the others.How could he not see through those peopleâs evil intentions?He just did not give them time to react and poured the liquor right into their mouths.âBlaaargh!âSoon, those people had no control over their bowels.âCEO Charlie, weâre just getting started! How about another round?âHarvey 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.âIs he even human?ââThis is insane!ââHe just doesnât get drunk!ââI⊠I canât do this anymore!âCharlie shook his head while trembling in fear.âThatâs not good. According to our deal, weâd have to settle a score here!âHarvey was smiling.âIâŠ
âNothing! Nothing! Iâm just trying to say that Brother-In-Law will never be a fit for you! Youâre just too outstanding!âHurry up and divorce him already!â Xynthia Zimmer said shyly.Mandy Zimmer tapped on Xynthiaâs head and replied, âYouâre always up to no good!âYou shouldnât meddle with things that concern your brother-in-law and me, alright?âWeâre adults already. You should focus on your studies!âXynthia clicked her tongue and replied, âWell, Iâd need a book to study from first! If Brother-In-Law canât figure this out, you have to hand him over as repayment!ââWhat?!â Mandy thought she heard wrong.âXynthia, do you even understand what youâre saying?âMandy 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.âOf course I understand! Heâd have to be responsible for me if I canât study because of him!âXynthiaâs heart was full of glee when she said those words.
At the Yates family house from Buckwood.The house was basically deserted at this point.When the pillars of the family had fallen, the family itself withered.And the company, Silver Nimbus Enterprise, was robbed away from Mandy Zimmer, went completely bankrupt.In the span of just a few days, Grandma Yatesâ hair had turned white as snow, as if she had gotten twenty years older.The previously grand and glorious Yates family from Buckwood had turned into a dilapidated family then.But the family still gathered together at this moment.âHow is it? What did the Yates family from America say?â Grandma Yates swiftly asked Phoebe Yates, who just hung up on the phone.Phoebe trembled.âThey agreed to help us, but on one condition.âFrom today onward, we would have to be the slaves of their family.ââFrom now on, weâll be actual slaves for the Yates family from America.âThe expressions of the family changed.âGrandma Yates, we canât accept this offer! The Yates family from Buck
Toddâs eyes gleamed a cold gleam. He gritted his teeth. âMaster Russel, please give me another chance. This time, I will certainly not fail!âThat afternoon, Todd arrived at the Regency Enterprise with the contract from before.Mandy had to meet them, as they were also the stockholders of Regency Enterprise.âYouâre Mandy Zimmer, arenât you? We came here with only one thing in mind. We want all of Regency Enterpriseâs stocks!âTodd spoke in an unyielding tone.Mandy furrowed her eyebrows. âThatâs impossible. I just took over this company. Plus, the issue regarding the cash flow is being handled right now, and thereâs a lot of development that can be done in the near future. Why would I sell the stocks to you?ââYes, Mr. Jean. We wanted to sell the stocks a few days ago, but weâre not opting for that anymore.ââPerhaps you need to be more up-to-date with the recent happenings. Still, since youâre one of our stockholders, you can just sit back and enjoy all the future dividends.â
Most of the authorities present were horrified the second they heard the words âJeans offrom Mordu.âThey turned to Mandy, eyes filled with horror.âCEO Zimmer! Everything weâve gone through before couldnât be considered a big issue compared to our problem this time! Weâre facing the Jeans of Mordu!ââThe terror of that family is beyond imagination! Seeing that theyâve set their sights on Regency Enterprise, donât you think we should just sell the company?ââRight! The Jeans of Mordu have been buying many of the corporations in Buckwood these days. The owners of said corporations died from the pressure when they tried to resist!ââTheyâre one of the top ten families of Country H! We canât possibly anger them! We canât afford to bear the consequences of doing that!âOne of the authorities added in a low voice, âCEO Zimmer, I think itâs fortunate that Mr. Todd has his eyes on you.ââMarrying into the Jeans is a one-of-a-kind fortune one can never get even after years dedicated to
The next day.Mandy Zimmer entered the enterprise with dark circles around her eyes.Before she could even reach her office, Todd Jean had already entered with his group of bodyguards.None of the security guards in the enterprise dared going near him when they saw those bodyguards, armed to the teeth with guns slung on their waists.With guns in the equation, they could die any second, rightâŠ?Who would have the courage to stand against such people?The authorities of Regency Enterprise were ready to kneel before Todd and his ilk. Presumably, they had communicated last night and came to an agreement. âI wonder if youâve given a thought about my offer, CEO Zimmer?âTodd sat onto the sofa, his leg over perched on the other as he sized Mandy up.Mandyâs face was ice. âAlright. Even if Iâm prepared to sell Regency Enterprise to you, donât you think you should show some manners?âTodd was slightly taken aback; he didnât expect Mandy to agree.He snickered. âGreat! Seeing how r
Arrogant!Dominant!Evil!These were everyoneâs thoughts regarding Morduâs Jean family.Every authority at the scene trembled in fear.They had heard of the gossip about how those who went against Morduâs Jean family had all disappeared with their families.These authorities didnât want to end up like that at all.Smack!Toddâs secretary threw an agreement to Mandy and spoke up casually, âHear what my young master said? Pick up the coin, sign the agreement, and then scram back your house to clean up before coming over by yourself, understood?ââIf CEO Zimmer is still unwilling to sign this, then tonight, my young master will invite Mr. Simon, Ms. Lilian and Ms. Xynthia for dinner togetherâŠâThe secretary had a polite and respectful look on as he spoke, but the words came out of his words made everyoneâs hair stand on their ends.How would Mandyâs family end up when facing these wicked men?Especially Xynthia, who was still young and innocentâŠThinking that, Mandy became ho
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! IâŠ"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 Planeâwhich 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 directâin 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 doâor 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 CityâŠas 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
