After hearing Darren Flynn’s explanation, MandyZimmer’s face had immediately lost all color.She already knew that Flynn’s Antiques were in cahoots with Star Chaebol so that they could set up a buyer.But she did not think that Flynn’s Antiques were actually this shameless after Harvey York had won the auction.Would they actually change the currency to pounds after the auction was done?Harvey, on the other hand, was remarkably calm.That night, the people organizing the auction were the Flynn family from Hong Kong, and Star Chaebol was playing along with them. They were no easy opponents to deal with.“Who said that the currency would be calculated in pounds?” Harvey calmly asked.“I did. I own Flynn’s Antiques. I would naturally have the final say. I’ll use whatever currency that I deem fit. If you’re mad, then bite me or something.”A thin and slender man then walked out of backstage at this moment and gave a faint smile toward Harvey.Darren trembled after seeing the man,
Before Mandy Zimmer could even get mad, Harvey York immediately stepped forward and replied coldly, “Get out!”Matthew Flynn tilted his head up high and glared at Harvey.“What? Are you mad? I’m pretty sure I gave you more than one option to pick from.”Harvey suddenly kicked Matthew down to the ground, then coldly said, “Screw your options!”Matthew’s handsome face looked horrible at this moment. He did not think that Harvey would dare to do that in such a public place.A miserable smile then leaked out of his face.“I won’t let you off the hook that easily, Harvey York. Your woman will be in my hands! You can’t protect her forever!”Harvey then coldly replied, “I dare you to say that one more time!”Matthew’s smile became more wretched.“Your woman will be in my hands!”Pow!Harvey immediately sent Matthew flying with a strong kick.The sound caught the people’s attention outside. A big group of Matthew’s bodyguards all came rushing in.Harvey walked forward with no chan
At the auction house.The expressions on Matthew Flynn and Darren Flynn’s faces were utterly horrible.After a long while, Matthew then asked, “Did he really transfer over five hundred and eighty million dollars?”“Yes, he did. It’s in the account.”“No, wait. The money’s been frozen!”Darren’s expression changed frantically. This was not something that an ordinary person could do.“He froze the money? It looks like our Consultant York has someone behind his back after all!”Matthew’s look was as cold as ice.“But no matter, someone is angrier about the situation than we are. Let’s just watch the show.”***Three days later, at the Gardens Residence.A Mercedes Benz that had been parked for three whole days in a parking spot started up slowly. Two young people that looked extremely ordinary were inside the car.Those two people could not even be distinguished if they were walking around a street full of people. Even the most advanced facial recognition systems might not rec
Harvey York was Prince York himself!Those words sounded like thunder piercing the skies, shocking everyone present.Roy Garfield smiled and replied, “Good! You did well, Stray Dog! Having such a detailed deduction!“Even though you haven’t given any solid proof just yet. We should prepare ourselves using this critical intel!“Since Harvey might actually be Prince York, it would make sense how he could withdraw five hundred and eighty million dollars and freeze the funds after,” Matthew Flynn said calmly as he pondered on the side.“Prince York is considered to be the peak of South Light, Buckwood’s top man. No wonder he can afford to be so arrogant!“Prince York’s quite hard to deal with right now. Deputy Representative Roy, do you have a plan?”A playful smile leaked out of Roy’s face.“Prince York might seem awesome to other people, but he means nothing in front of Star Chaebol anyway.”Matthew smiled and replied, “Don’t forget, one of your brothers in Star Chaebol, Steve L
“The Three Saints of Taekwondo will be accompanying the remaining four out of eight Heavenly Kings. These four had been beside Representative Lee to protect him. Their strength surpasses that of the other four!“I told them that Harvey York’s men assassinated the other four Heavenly Kings.“Now, these four are boiling with anger!”An evil smile leaked out of Roy Garfield’s face at this moment.“South Light means nothing, Buckwood means nothing. With the support of these seven masters, I can even kill Prince York with one hand behind my back!”“Powerful! You’re incredibly powerful!”Matthew Flynn burst out laughing while clapping his hands together.“I came here to Buckwood to watch the show unfold, but I didn’t think that it would be such a spectacular one!“Once all this is done, the Four Masters of Hong Kong will label you as the king in Buckwood!”Naturally, Matthew was already looking down upon Roy, a man from Country J to the core. But he needed pawns to fight for his cau
While Roy Garfield and Matthew Flynn were scheming in secret, Xynthia Zimmer coincidentally nagged Harvey York to go to university with her after a few days.Unsure if she was actually stupid. After roaming around the entire country, she still decided to stay in Buckwood to further her studies.She had even picked out the university she wanted to go to, the University of South Light.The University of South Light was one of the ten most well-known institutions of higher education in Country H, but Xynthia did not have much interest in it because it was too close to home.But since she had some interest then, Harvey would naturally support her decision.He called the first-in-command of the Buckwood Education System, Tim Zepeda, to help out with something.Not long after, a woman that Harvey almost forgot existed gave him a call.It was Xynthia’s twelfth-grade class teacher, Ms. Yuna.According to Ms. Yuna, Xynthia had been delaying her homework for a long while. If she wanted t
Yvonne Xavier clearly froze after hearing Harvey York’s words. She then smiled after.“CEO York, you mustn’t let your wife hear this. If not, she might come to me for trouble.”Harvey sighed.“She’s not that kind of woman.”“Who knows?” whispered Yvonne.“Women know each other best. Some lines that a woman will never accept crossing.”Harvey immediately choked after hearing those words and started to fiddle with his nose. Things might escalate as if Harvey and Yvonne were actually together.The two were dead silent for a moment. The mood turned extremely awkward.After a long while, Yvonne felt as if she remembered something and suddenly said, “CEO York, I might have to travel far away. And this time, I might even have to leave for three to five months…“But rest assured, I’ll let Sir Ray Hart handle my work before I leave. The company’s operation won’t be affected.”Harvey frowned slightly.“Far away? Where to?”Yvonne smiled.“Just some personal business. I’ll be back as
Stray Dog froze over, but soon he came back to his senses and tilted his head up.“How arrogant and prideful. I know that you have Tyson Woods and Ethan Hunt to back you up!“A shame that something's happening in the front lines of South Light’s military force to draw Ethan away. He has to go and take a look.“As for Tyson, I’m afraid that he’ll have a hard time keeping himself alive!”A cruel smile leaked out of Stray Dog’s face.“We can draw Ethan away, and we can also get people to kill off Tyson!”“My brothers have been watching him for days. More than a hundred men are surrounding him in his car.”Harvey merely chuckled without giving him a proper answer.“A hundred men? Do you really have any idea of Tyson’s background?“Even though he’s a retired soldier from Sword Camp, anybody that walked out of Sword Camp is on par with the Kings of Arms.“A hundred people can’t stop him.”Stray Dog then coldly replied, “Don’t be naive, Harvey York. Did you really think that I won’
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
