“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
News of Wallace Park moving out of seclusion from the mountain and agreeing to head toward Country H was covered up by Star Chaebol.This was not because of Star Chaebol being discreet. Wallace requested this himself.Only people that participated in the Euro-American Battlefield could understand what kind of place Country H was!For those people, if the legendary man were still alive in Country H, then that place would be a forbidden area for all soldiers.Whoever dared to invade would mean the death of them!Even if Wallace was the Chief Instructor of Country J for about a decade, he still had unspeakable fear toward that man.After all, he couldn’t even last for ten moves against him back then!Not just Wallace, even the five strongest countries banded together were utterly destroyed by that man alone!That was why Wallace wouldn’t dare to let anyone outside know that he was heading to Country H.If news were to spread to the Chief Instructor, big trouble would ensue.When
“Hmm. Send all three of the relics over, especially the commander’s seal. I must have it.”Wallace Park was exhilarated.“After this, I shall be your supporter, Peter Lee. I will deal with every obstacle and trouble that you face in Country H.”“Understood! Rest assured, I’ll be able to handle this easily!”Peter was waiting to hear those exact words.With Wallace’s support, he could do whatever he wanted.Even avenging his own son would be an easy task.“The Flynn family’s auction in Buckwood…”A cold smile leaked out of Peter’s face. A man with a reputation like his was not able to leave the provinces to the south nonchalantly. He was just involved with too many things. Any simple movement would cause a major uproar.But Wallace even brought with him his very own disciple, Roy Garfield, to help Peter this time.Peter then immediately assigned Roy to be Star Chaebol’s deputy representative in Country H.***At Buckwood.Avel Naiswell respectfully stood in front of Harvey
“Looks like there’s a huge auction about to be held here. Someone even sent me an invitation. Are you buying something?”Mandy Zimmer knew that Harvey York had a knack for appraising antiques. So, she asked out of curiosity.“I’m just here to take a look, expanding my horizons, if you will,” Harvey vaguely answered.If the legendary Master Flynn from Flynn’s Antiques were actually to sell the national treasures to foreign people, Harvey wouldn’t mind giving him an unforgettable lesson.Inside the auction house.Darren Flynn was holding his phone while standing respectfully.An icy cold voice echoed from the other side of the phone.“Representative Lee from Star Chaebol called me last night. He said that he had his eyes on three items that are up for auction.“As a meeting gift, I’ll want these three items sent to Star Chaebol. Have them prepared.”Cold sweats were dripping down Darren’s face when he replied, “Rest assured, Master Flynn, I’ll be able to handle such a trivial ta
Darren Flynn stood up at this moment and clapped his hands.“Everyone, please quiet down and listen!“The auction that Flynn’s Antiques had organized only has three rare treasures up for bidding. The items are as follows: one of Jasper Higgins’ authentic works, a porcelain bowl, and a piece of the commander’s seal!“Master Flynn said that these three antiques are the treasures of the shop. It would be meaningless if they were separated!“What if we auction all three of these items together for tonight?!”Darren spoke with a righteous tone as if it was the right thing to do.To put it bluntly, he was plotting to let all of those items fall into Roy’s hands successfully.“This…”Many people were dumbfounded after hearing his words. But soon, the people that Darren arranged immediately stood up.“Flynn’s Antiques is hosting today’s auction. It would be natural for you to make the call!”“I’ve heard of these three antiques before. They are the treasures of Flynn’s Antiques. It wo
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
