The more Harvey drank, the more apparent the red coloring his face. Hugh watched this sight with a cold chuckle.‘What an idiot! He’s still being so jolly even after being forced to shove this much wine down his throat.’Based on Hugh’s experience in drinking, Harvey would fall after a few more drinks.If Harvey didn’t lose half of his lifespan because of drinking too much, he would at least need to get his stomach scrubbed cleaned.Meanwhile, Tristan stared at Hugh in admiration. As expected from Master Baker, making such an effortless victory!He was right to pull this trick on an idiot like Harvey.Tristan grabbed another glass of wine and immediately went forward.Soon after, the bottles of wine were soon emptied.Xynthia dragged Harvey and exclaimed, “Brother-In-Law, no more drinking! Let’s go home, alright?”“You women don’t understand anything! Us men drinking is none of your business!”Harvey’s body was swaying, his eyes hazy. He looked as if he was about to fall
Bang!One drink later, Hugh fell flat onto the floor.The others fell almost at the same time. Only Harvey and Xynthia were left standing.Harvey casually threw away the glass of wine in his hand. His face returned to its usual expression.“Brother-In-Law, you’re fine?!”“You took a dozen of them down on your own?!”Xynthia was shocked.Harvey could only chuckle. “I’ll still be fine even after a few more rounds.”“So when you went to see a client with my sister last time, you were pretending to be drunk!”“If I wasn’t diligent enough, you might’ve had your way and slept with her!”Recalling that scene, Xynthia rolled her eyes.Harvey’s face darkened and he flicked Xynthia’s forehead.“What are you talking about?! I’m your Brother-In-Law. Isn’t it normal to sleep with your sister?!”“I won’t allow it, no matter what!”Xynthia raged, boiling in anger.“You’re such a little troublemaker.”Harvey was helpless. His sister-in-law sure was unpredictable.“Alright, go outsid
“The government said that?” Wallace narrowed his eyes.“Yes!” Peter nodded fervently.“Surely you must know who our opponent is, then?”“Of course, it’s a man named Harvey York!”“According to the Flynn family from Hong Kong, Harvey’s real identity is likely to be the top man of South Light, Prince York himself!”“He’s the one who controls Sky Corporation. He’s merged all of the assets from the Yates family and Star Chaebol in South Light!”“And now, Sky Corporation is preparing to be listed on the market!”“Curse him!”Wallace’s gaze changed and he snarled, “I thought our opponent was someone extraordinary, but he’s just a mere prince!”“Country J will surely be able to handle him!”“Since the government is willing to cover up for him, we’ll use our powers to play with him as well!”“I want you to deal with Prince York and Sky Corporation once and for all!”“I want Sky Corporation unable to be listed, and I want Prince York to go bankrupt!”“We’ll set foot on our own
As soon as Hugh was done talking, his followers behind him all stood up and glared threateningly at Mandy.Mandy’s expression changed slightly, but she had matured quite a bit after her past experiences.She regained her composure in no time and calmly replied, “I wonder what my good-for-nothing husband did to you, Master Baker?”“Good-for-nothing?”Hugh laughed.“Your husband is quite the man, why would you call him that?”“He dared to fool me, after all. Either he’s really strong, or he’s just an idiot.”“What did my husband do to you?” Mandy asked again, still calm.Tristan, who was not far away from Mandy and Hugh, subconsciously gripped his butt, his face utterly horrid and heinous.They were both well-known masters. Never had they imagined that they would suffer this great of a loss against Harvey yesterday night.Most importantly, they couldn’t even voice out the humiliation they felt! They were aggrieved!Extremely aggrieved!It would be fine if Mandy didn’t menti
Tristan and the others burst out laughing. Master Baker sure was domineering!Slap!Mandy swung her palm against Hugh’s face. “Master Baker, please have some respect!”“Respect?!”Hugh grabbed Mandy’s shoulders and flashed her a sinister grin.“I only know how to respect people in bed!”“Right, let me tell you something.”“I called my godfather this morning. He’s coincidentally here for business, so he’ll be supporting me as well.”“I know you have an extraordinary background, being supported by Prince York!”“Shame that Prince York means nothing in front of my godfather!”“If I were you, I’d be obediently following orders. I might be a bit gentle if you do, right?”Bang!Right at this moment, the door of the box was kicked open.“Hugh Baker! I’d kneel right now if I were you. If you do, you might not die!”A frigid tone echoed from the entrance of the box.Harvey was there along with Tyson. He entered the box, his expression unchanging. Not too long ago, the men that
After Mandy’s bodyguards escorted her out of the box, Harvey turned to Hugh and co. with a cold tone. “Hugh Baker, aren’t you afraid that you’ll die in Buckwood for what you said to me?”“Die in Buckwood?”Hugh burst out laughing, his gaze full of disdain. “Do you know who I am?”“Even if you didn’t look up my identity as the second master of the Baker family from San Francisco, aren’t you scared of my godfather? Aren’t you scared of Longmen?”“You should know that your support, Yoel Graham, is on par with a mere dog in Longmen!”Longmen was an underground organization within Country H.Legends said that the man who owned Longmen was a major figure from Wolsing. His identity was terrifying, and he was one of the Elders back then.After retiring, he then established Longmen.Longmen had branches in every big city. The branch leader in Mordu, for example, was none other than Oliver Bauer himself.From this perspective, Hugh’s identity did seem quite terrifying.“Longmen?”Ha
At this moment, Tristan Quinlan finally reacted and yelled, “Kill him!”A group of subordinates and bodyguards rushed over at the same time to surround Harvey York.Tyson Woods, who had never spoken, moved sideways, stepped forward, and instantaneously, Tristan’s neck was snatched.Bang!Tristan was then smashed to the ground. Then, Tyson stepped on his face and said coldly, “CEO York is doing things, who dares to stop him!“Whoever dares to take one more step forward, I’ll trample him to death!”Tyson was the king of the streets, after all. He was very respectful in front of Harvey.However, when he really made a move, he regained his character of a man from the streets.At this moment, Tyson’s fierceness instantly caused those subordinates and bodyguards to hesitate, not knowing whether they want to step forward or not.After all, Tristan’s origin was also extraordinary. What if he was trampled to death?Meanwhile, Harvey had already grabbed the second bottle of beer and sm
On the other hand, Hugh Baker was trembling all over at this moment. He then shouted, “Call my godfather and ask him to send everyone who can to come here!”“Tristan, call your cousin here!”At this moment, someone whispered, “Second Young Master, do you want to call the Young Master here?”“Why would you want to call him? Do you want me to be a disgrace in front of him?”Bang! Hugh kicked the subordinate aside.“Whoever dares to tell him about this is against me!”Hugh’s face was distorted. Although he came to Buckwood this time because of a call from Sam Baker…However, he and Sam had never been on good terms in the Baker family of San Francisco. Both of them were competing for the succession of the Baker family.If he asked Sam for help at this moment, he might as well die!Nonetheless, he was not afraid. Not to mention that Tristan Quinlan was from the Quinlan family, who was quite influential in South Light.Just his godfather, Oliver Bauer, the branch leader of Longmen,
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
