Prince York?!This title surprised many.If it was this person, then they could understand.He was known as the number one person in South Light, the most powerful man.Many people wanted to challenge his authority, but they were defeated and the fight ended up in bloodshed.“CEO Park, is what you said true?”“Prince York as the new owner? How likely is this?”“Why haven’t we heard Master Lee talk about this at all?!”Many people stared at Brock, hoping that he would have more answers.Brock said with a smug look, “What do you know? I got to know all this because I’m close with the new owner. It’s just, there are some things I can’t speak too much of. I hope you understand.”The executives at the scene exchanged glances with one another, and then they quickly stepped forward.“CEO Park! Since you’re close to the new owner, you have to take care of us in the future!”“Yes! After all, we’ve been brothers for many years!”“CEO Park, you must put in a few good words for us to
The higher ups from Star Chaebol’s business department actually bowed to a live-in son-in-law?Brock’s expression had turned into something utterly horrible.When Stacy and Rae recognized Harvey’s face, they didn’t care to hide their disdain.“Screw this man! How did he get here?!”“Harvey! What are you doing here?”“Are you even allowed here?”“You don’t even have the right to breathe the air in a place like this!”Stacy stormed forward in her high heels, her face as cold as ice, acting as if she wanted to get all the attention of everyone present.Brock approached Harvey and pointed at the entrance of the company. His voice was just as icy as he yelled, “Get out of here, you bastard! Don’t be an eyesore!”“I have important things to do today! I don’t have time to toy with you! Get out of here right now!”“If you don’t and you keep pissing me off, there will be dire consequences for you!”Brock did not care why Harvey showed up at this moment, nor Harvey’s plans in coming h
“Get out?”Harvey chuckled calmly.“If I get out, who will you bow to? Who will you welcome?”Brock froze slightly, then burst into a fit of anger.“Harvey York! Are you actually dumb?”“We’re just practicing how to bow properly when the new owner comes!”“You really think that you’re some hotshot after being bowed to once?”Stacy laughed. “Go somewhere else if you want to perform a comedy skit, Harvey.”“We’re quite clear of your history and background!”“Your words aren’t just jokes, they’re hysterical! You’re senseless!”Brock was impatient. He quickly called the security guards soon after.“Throw him out of here. Remember to break his legs when he’s outside. We’ll see if he dares to blab so irresponsibly in the future!”Brock did not have the patience to exchange any nonsense with Harvey right now.Pleasing the new owner was the only thing in his mind. If the live-in son-in-law were to bump into the owner, Brock would have nothing left to gain.Quite a few higher up
“Gasp!”Everyone inhaled a sharp breath of air.A few beautiful-looking higher ups covered their mouths, trying not to make a sound.Everyone knew why Yvonne and Ray were present.These two would never joke about something so incredible!The live-in son-in-law wearing sportswear was indeed the legendary man himself!‘Prince York?!’Brock’s expression looked a hundred times worse than it did if he was forced to swallow a bitter gourd. His face darkened. “What…”“He…he…he…”“He’s actually Prince York himself?!”Stacy and Rae’s gazes were filled with shock, as if they had been struck by lightning in bright daylight.The two of them became social butterflies in order to cling onto powerful men.Yet they missed out on Prince York, the man leagues above others, despite him standing right in front of their eyes!Stacy and Rae were close to spitting out blood.‘Just flaunt the money if you have it! Be more arrogant! Be domineering!’‘Why are you being so discreet?’“This…this
Harvey couldn’t care less about any of them. He signalled them to be quiet, and then calmly said, “Steve will be here for the transfer procedures later.”“Before that, let me say something first.”“Number one: all assets of South Light’s business department will be liquidated to charity funds under Sky Corporation’s name. From now on, the income earned with these funds will all be used for charity.”“Number two: if any of you higher ups and staff are willing to stay, I’m giving your wages a thirty percent raise.”“But I’ll be blunt. If you’re working for Sky Corporation, then you better put away the attitude that you had before. If any of you started showing off your so-called superior attitude of Country J, then I’m sorry, but you’re out of the company.”Harvey’s expression was as cold as ice. There were benefits, but there were also warnings.Initially, he planned to fire every single one of Country J citizens.But Yvonne brought up the point that since they had been in charge
“Break my legs?! You actually dare to break my legs?!”Brock stuttered, his face utterly wretched.“You bastard! I saved you last night, but you return the favor by biting me in the back?!”“Not only are you firing me, but you’re also going to break my legs too?!”“Just you wait! I won’t let you off the hook that easily!”“I have connections with the government and the gangsters alike! You’ll have a taste of your own medicine soon!”“Just you wait!”Brock shouted furiously, deluded into thinking he was superior.He was prepared to complain about the situation to Star Chaebol’s representative, Peter, and then kill Harvey completely!Just then, a few white Land Rovers were parked at the entrance of the building.When the door of the car opened, Avel Naiswell, his head covered with bandages, exited swiftly.Stacy and Rae from the crowd gasped when they saw him. “Master Naiswell?!”“Perfect timing, Master Naiswell!”Brock, who was rolling on the ground, seemed as if he saw h
After kicking Brock over to the ground, Avel rushed towards Harvey and knelt. “CEO York, I was blind to the fact that you were there last night and offended you!”“Please be the better man and forgive me!”‘Forgive?!’The crowd was dead silent.Stacy and Rae were especially in utter disbelief.Avel, a mob boss, came all the way here to beg for Harvey’s forgiveness?This was proof of how strong Harvey truly was!Avel was here to sincerely apologize as well.When he returned home last night, still stubborn and unyielding, Shane only told him a name.Prince York.Shane didn’t need to say anything else. Avel was already drenched in his own sweat the second he heard that name.Even though he was a gangster himself, he knew how powerful that man actually was.There was no need to mention anything. The knowledge that Tyson Woods, the new king of the streets, actually worked under Prince York, was enough to point out the problem.Avel did not have much interest in inheriting the f
A man wearing bright clothes jogged all the way here, with the protection of several private bodyguards.He was none other than the talented, self-proclaimed genius of Country J, Steve Lee.“Master Lee! Master Lee!”Brock, who was still on the ground, almost jumped up after seeing him.“You finally came, Master Lee!”“You must bring me justice!”“This live-in son-in-law had been causing a ruckus here since early in the morning. He said something about you transferring all the assets of South Light’s business department to him!”“You have to tell me! He’s just a liar, right?!”“ Star Chaebol is extremely powerful! We wouldn’t be scared of a Country H citizen!”“Hurry, Master Lee! Crush this live-in son-in-law! Break his legs!”Brock exclaimed furiously as he pointed at Harvey, pride coloring his face.He was still in denial regarding Harvey’s power and status.He hoped that his boss Steve Lee, a man with an extraordinary status, would trample Harvey to death.But Steve quic
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
