Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 148
“Dear, it seems like you don’t have to leave with this liar tonight. Since he doesn’t know the CEO of the York Enterprise, then he’s useless. Why don’t I bring you along tomorrow to meet my classmate—Yvonne? That may be much more productive.” Harvey York said to Mandy Zimmer. “Really? How nice!” Mandy appeared overjoyed. Yvonne Xavier was the secretary of the CEO of the York Enterprise. If they could get in touch with her, it would be certainly much easier to get to know any superiors there. Jake Surrey’s facial expression worsened slightly. But Cecilia Zachary was shaking her head slightly, indicating to him that he clearly had a Freudian slip. He would not be able to turn the situation around no matter what he wanted to say. At that time, the auction house soon became packed. In the end, there were around a thousand people. It could be said that the Mountain Top Auction was indeed quite popular.After a short while, the auction began. The first few lots were some classic wat

Cecilia Zachary’s facial expression changed. She did indeed have some interest in Jake. However, Jake Surrey was only interested in Mandy Zimmer, and he was not friendly to her. That had always caused her pain. If not, she would certainly throw herself at such a rich and handsome guy long ago. Why would she introduce him to Mandy then? “Harvey, you can’t even give your wife the things she wants. Could you please stop pretending. You’re very annoying!” Cecilia sneered, and her facial expression changed ceaselessly. “Harvey, Cecilia, please stop talking.” Seeing that scene, Mandy was put in a dilemma. Cecilia had always been disgusted with Harvey York. Harvey did not retort her before, so she would cease talking after condemning him for a short while. Until recently, Harvey was clearly different from before and Cecilia had suffered many times because of her argument with him. Sitting beside them, Jake smiled faintly, and as he was about to say something. All of a sudden. “9.
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 150
Mandy Zimmer’s facial expression appeared slightly disgusted. At first, Jake could get so much money for her sake, and she was quite touched by that. But now she felt quite upset and annoyed inside since Jake Surrey always mocked Harvey York. Although Harvey was poor, and he was a live-in son-in-law no less, he had been doing all the house chores during those three years. He devoted himself to the hardships wholeheartedly. Although Mandy could not accept him at first, she now started to recognize the good in him. Besides, she would feel quite humiliated if her husband was being condemned like that in public no matter how bad her husband was. At that moment, Mandy frowned slightly and said, “Mr. Surrey, I hope that you can take back what you just said and apologize to Harvey.” “Do you want me to apologize to him?” Jake burst into laughter. “Actually, I just do it for your own good. Mandy, this guy is not an ambitious man, but he’s so arrogant in public. He may get into trouble
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 151
Mandy Zimmer did not deny that, and she only nodded slightly. Harvey York stretched his hand out to put it on her small hand. He then smiled and said, “Then as your husband, I’ll present that to you as a gift!” Mandy was stunned for a short while, because she did not know how to respond to that. However, Rosalie Naiswell glanced at Harvey, and she could not help but sigh. ‘It’s fine if he’s not capable. But he’s so bad at pretending! That thing now belongs to the Yorks. How could anyone else retrieve that?’‘You’re just a live-in son-in-law. Do you even have the right?’ ***“Subsequently, we’ll have the sixth lot for auction. Regarding this lot, even our appraisers could not identify its authenticity. But we heard that the origin of this item was exceptional. Ladies and gentlemen, you’re welcome to come forward to assess it. Then, you can decide whether you want to bid for this lot…” At that moment, the female auctioneer’s eyes brightened. She noticed that the atmosphere w

“Certainly, this painting is not much different from the authentic one. I feel that it’s some kind of highly exceptional replica which was done by someone in the later generations. Besides, it’s quite possible that it’s produced in our time. Moreover, it might even be some kind of product which is sold online. It might not even be worth fifteen dollars…” Wyatt Johnson said word by word. At the same time, he looked at the auctioneer and said, “Young lady, I’m not trying to ruin the credibility of the auction house here. I’m merely speaking the truth. I hope you don’t mind it.” That auctioneer smiled and said, “Our appraisers don’t dare to confirm its authenticity too. It turns out that the authentic painting had been divided into two long ago. Previously, I thought that it was just a well replicated painting, so the appraisers did not dare to affirm its authenticity. It turns out that we don’t need to assess its quality, and we can directly affirm that it’s not the authentic one.”
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 153
Harvey York did not talk nonsense. He only tried to fish for the money in his pocket. After a long while only he found the fifteen dollars. He then gave the money to the auctioneer, seemingly hard to part with the money. He could not help that. After all, he did indeed have only fifteen dollars cash with him at the moment. A roar of laughter was heard. “It’s indeed hilarious! There’s really someone who bought “The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak” with only fifteen dollars!” “You hid the money in such a secure manner. Are you afraid that you’ll lose the money?” “No wonder you’re afraid that you’ll lose the money. It seems like you only have fifteen dollars with you now, are you not?” “Harvey, you really need to take good care of this painting. We’ll go and pay you a visit when we’re free just to assess it. After all, it’s a legendary renowned world painting which is worth fifteen dollars!” The person then laughed out loud. Both Jake Surrey and Wyatt Johnson burst into laugh
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 154
As Jake Surrey was saying that, it appeared like his cunning plot was somehow successful. As long as Harvey York was being humiliated, he would definitely take the chance. Harvey smiled and said slowly, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure you know that Albert Bierstadt was one of the famous landscape painters best known for his lavish, sweeping landscapes of the mountains. The watercolor paintings he did were always exceptional, simple but profound. Besides, his style was based on the carefully detailed painting with romantic and glowing lighting. That was the legendary luminous technique. It made his paintings magnificent, elegant and boundless… Please do take a look here. Isn’t this painting exactly like how I described it?The others heard how reasonable and logical Harvey sounded. At that moment, they took a few glances of the painting subconsciously. They did realize that the painting was exactly like how Harvey described it. Wyatt Johnson was the only one who laughed coldly. ‘

“Plum Authenticity Twist” was a unique skill of a renowned appraising master in the 1900s. It was rumored that as long as the master took some actions upon himself, the master could literally identify the authenticity of any antiques and famous paintings. Nowadays, there were only a few people who knew of that technique. The reason Rosalie Naiwell knew that was because of the fact that her grandfather from her family knew of that technique too. However, Senior Naiswell had promised the person who taught him that technique something. He promised not to pass that technique to anybody else. Hence, he was the only one who mastered that in the Naiswells. Now the “Plum Authenticity Twist” was being wielded by a live-in son-in-law. Rosalie felt that it was too preposterous, and it felt like a dream. “What? Plum Authenticity Twist?” A lot of people present heard what Rosalie said. They were slightly stupefied. Did it mean that the live-in son-in-law was not messing around, but he ha

"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E

"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?

Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 6807
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.

Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha

All of Clarion's men exchanged looks. They did not want to but had no choice but to retreat. It was obvious that they could not simply watch Neve die like that. Harvey quickly motioned to Mandy, signaling for her to exit with her.Shortly after, they arrived at an empty space on the surface. An armed helicopter was waiting there. They had moved it here from somewhere, and it was also warmed up. Harvey took Neve hostage and was going to bring Mandy up into the helicopter.But before they could get any closer, hundreds of men and women in uniform appeared and surrounded them. They were all armed with weapons such as Rainstorm Needles and Royal Flushes, specially designed against martial arts masters. If they were used, the damage they could cause would be devastating."Do you really think you can escape, Harvey?" Lanny walked out from behind the crowd."I've indeed prepared a helicopter for you, but do you dare to go up? If you do, we have plenty of weapons to take it down so you can

Blade's expression turned extremely dark when he heard what Harvey had said. For someone like him, who had obeyed the laws of Grand City all his life, what Harvey had said was a hard pill to swallow. The point was that Harvey was right.While what happened looked like a coincidence, it resulted from Lanny's deliberate neglect. Was it not a joke for them to want Harvey to follow the rules when they themselves broke the rule first?However, Neve did not seem like she was threatened at all. She was already in a state of crazed fury, and she smiled. "You killed my fiance and then slapped me? Do you think you can leave just like this? Dream on! Even if I had to die today, I'll drag you down into the grave with me!"Crack!Harvey tightened his grip and snapped Neve's right arm. Then, he took the Rainstorm Needles and aimed them at Neve's head again. This simple action showed Harvey's determination.Neve almost let out a scream of pain as she could not stop shuddering from the pain of he

Neve, Lanny, and the others figured that once they captured Mandy, they would have it in the bag. They could do whatever they wanted to Harvey. However, they did not expect Harvey to respond with such fierceness."How dare you, Harvey!" After a moment of silence, Clarion finally reacted to what had happened. And as he waved his hand, everyone around him immediately rushed over. All of them raised the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, aiming at Harvey. It was as if they would turn Harvey into a beehive if he dared to make another move."How dare you touch me? Even my dad never hit me! You have a death wish! You're just a powerless representative! Even if you do have power, your demise is already determined after what you did openly just now!" Neve's face became twisted with anger."I might not be able to do anything to you if you don't touch me, but now that you did, no one in this world can protect you!" There was a crazed look on Neve's face. Obviously, she believed that Harvey wou

After Neve made her orders, all the men and women beside her revealed what was under their sleeves. They were all wearing the martial art weapons, the Rainstorm Needles. This was something ten times better than guns when targeting martial artists.However, Harvey ignored all of them and continued moving forward. He exclaimed coldly, "Stop! If any of you are going to continue to attack Mandy, I'm going to cripple you!"Neve gave an icy smirk. There was only disdain on her face as she narrowed her eyes at Harvey. "Who do you think you are, Harvey? Do you think you're in a position to make me stop just by telling me? Are you having heartaches for her? I'm going to hurt her right before you now!"Neve kicked Mandy to the ground and then stomped on her stomach. "You witch! Witch! Let's see who can stop you tonight! Durandal is already dead, and I don't want to live anymore! I'm not going to stop until you're dead!"Then, Neve revealed the Rainstorm Needles under her sleeves and put them
