Although Henry Flynn was just the Director of Antique Management, he had a lot of authority. With his power, it was not difficult to destroy an antique shop or an antique player.There used to be a shop selling calligraphy and paintings. Just because the other party refused to send him gifts, he framed the other party, saying contrabands were in their calligraphy and paintings collection. Then, the shop was shut down, and the goods were detained.The owner found no avenue to redress, so he could only commit suicide by jumping into the river.However, Henry did not feel remorse at all. Instead, he forged a lot of evidence to prove that the dead owner did sell contraband.Later on, he even hid some of the calligraphy and paintings and sold them in Hong Kong, earning a lot of money in the process.Therefore, the expressions of those antique players present slightly changed, seeing the arrival of Henry Flynn, who was known as the Flayed man.“Director Flynn, you have finally come to
Faye Goddard also opened her mouth and said, “York, have you been living off women too much and treating yourself like a boss?“Do you actually think that your status as a consultant is that great?“I said a long time ago that your identity is just a paper tiger in front of the genuine big shots!”Harvey York replied indifferently, “You will soon know whether my status is useful or not.”“Pretend! Continue pretending!” Faye sneered, “A live-in son-in-law acting like a king!”Henry Flynn said fiercely, “York, it’s useless. I have the final say in this place, the antique market!“Even if you have the first-in-command, Yoel Graham, to support you, I’d still kill you!”“Yoel Graham, are you worthy?” Harvey said indifferently.It was quite a peculiar sight during those days. Even a nobody dared to name-drop the first-in-command of Buckwood.Meanwhile, several cars stopped at the gate of Flynn’s Antiques again.Then, a few people in uniform alighted from the car. The leading one wa
Henry Flynn’s face instantly darkened. Harvey York’s tone was the tone of the superiors lecturing their subordinates!What shocked them, even more, was that Michael Graham lowered his head at this moment. “CEO York, I’m sorry. I didn’t teach him well. I will surely give you an explanation regarding this matter!”After speaking, he turned around and walked toward Henry and the others.“Sir Graham, all this is a misunderstanding!“I’m sorry. I honestly didn’t know that Harvey was acquainted with you!“Please give us a chance!”Henry was used to trimming his sail to the wind. He immediately kneeled, cried while holding on to Michael’s thigh. He no longer had the pretentious aura.Michael was his superior. He could easily determine his career with just a word.It was just a matter of words to end his career.Slap!“Flayed man of Antique Management!”Slap!“You’re so awesome!”Slap!“Seizing other people’s things without any reason!”Slap!“Fining other people for 15.4 milli
Kyle Quinlan’s tone on the other side of the phone changed after hearing that Faye Goddard was hit. He then said sternly, “Who dares to do that to the representative of the Four Masters of Hong Kong?“Since the Four Masters of Hong Kong want to invest in South Light, then they are the guests of the South Light government!“Smacking them in the face is equivalent to smacking the South Light government and me in the face!“Miss Goddard, let them wait. I’ll come over there this instant!”Faye said with a smug, “Sir Quinlan, don’t worry. They can’t run away. We’re just waiting for you to come over to preside over justice!”Faye immediately hung up the phone after she spoke. She then gazed at Harvey York complacently and said, “Pretend! Pretending some more! I want to see how you will act when the second-in-command of South Light arrives here later!“The Four Masters of Hong Kong signed an investment and business engagement agreement with the South Light government when they entered t
“York, York, York, York…”Kyle Quinlan instantly stammered. He never expected that the other party was this person.Harvey York said indifferently, “Don’t call me Grandfather. I don’t have an unfilial grandson like you!”Boom!The crowd went silent!Harvey was certainly provoking Kyle!Just when everyone thought that Kyle was about to jump up and slap Harvey to death…However, Kyle’s superior aura instantly disappeared in the next moment and was replaced with an apologetic expression on his face. “CEO York, I’m sorry. I failed to distinguish between right and wrong. I will surely give you an explanation on this matter!”Kyle’s face was pale at this moment. This was because he knew full well about Harvey’s identity.Even if he was from the Quinlan family from Georgia, he could not afford to provoke the person before him, let alone him being the second-in-command of South Light.Faye Goddard and others covered their mouths tightly, worried that they would let out a scream.How
In Hong Kong, even during winter, it was still as warm as spring if compared with the ice and snow in the three northern provinces.At the top of an office building beside Victoria Harbor, a helicopter slowly descended.In the lounge below, two slender figures walked out.They walked to the edge of the helipad at will. Although there were skyscrapers at their feet, the two of them seemed to have not seen them. Instead, they wandered on the edge of the tall buildings.If there were reporters from the financial media present, they would certainly be frightened by the identity of those two people.The first one was Quinton York, who had just been promoted to one of the Four Masters of Hong Kong, representing the Leo family of Hong Kong.The other one was Matthew Flynn, who was from the Flynn family and the most arrogant and domineering of the Four Masters of Hong Kong.At this moment, Matthew bit a cigarette between his lips, and a solemn expression appeared on his chiseled face.
Just as Matthew Flynn was filled with emotions, suddenly, his mobile phone vibrated, and someone had just sent him a message.A smile appeared on the corners of his mouth after reading the message. “Interesting news.“This Prince York forced Star Chaebol of Country J to transfer all their assets in South Light to Sky Corporation.“This news has now reached the three northern provinces.“The representative of Star Chaebol in the great Country H, Peter Lee, will come to Buckwood and kill Prince York.“Star Chaebol…”Quinton’s eyes slightly flashed. He then smiled and said, “This Prince York certainly didn’t know his place. He offended Peter Lee after he offended us. He certainly wants to die!”Apparently, Quinton York and Peter had met several times.Representative Lee, who was said to have conquered the business world of the three northern provinces, was not a foolish person. Once he wanted to deal with someone, he would certainly go all out and spare no effort.“It seems that
In Country J, on the peak of an unknown mountain.A gray-haired old man was standing on the edge of the cliff with his hands on his back.He was very calm and relaxed at this moment, and he gave out a demeanor of a transcendent being.This old man seemed to have some sort of magic power. The clouds around slowly lingered, surrounding him as if they were surging with his breathing.This was the so-called “The way follows nature” scene.Meanwhile, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and then a man wearing a Taekwondo robe came dashing with a panic expression. He said, “Sir, something happened!“Your close disciple, Steve Lee, was tortured and killed in the great Country H!”“Um?!”The old man waved his hand violently, and the clouds and mist around him exploded suddenly like an invisible air bomb dispersing behind him.All the birds around were shaken and had fallen to the ground at this moment, and countless leaves were flying.Everyone present was stunned!Wallace Park
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
