“Dear Mr. York, Sky Corporation under your name has successfully listed today. The stocks can be traded!”“The closing price at three o’clock this afternoon will determine the amount of your company’s assets.”“If your stocks go down, your company will face bankruptcy. Your thirty billion cash that is temporarily frozen will be compensated to the investors.”Beep…The call ended.A faint smile appeared on Harvey’s face. “The company goes public today and the stock price is fifty. If the price becomes a hundred this afternoon when the market closes, then Sky Corporation’s assets will double up.”“If it’s lower than the original stock price, then we will be left with nothing.”Yvonne and others all laughed after hearing what Harvey said.Ray turned on the phone and cast the stock market on the screen in the lobby. Everyone held their breath as they looked at the crosshairs that were still in a static state.At a quarter past nine… The market began to bid.Harvey stared at the
“Oh? Has the company been listed already?”Right at this moment, another car came out of the block right at this moment. The door opened to reveal a figure many hadn’t seen in a while, Karl Quinlan. He hobbled out clumsily, bandages and casts covering all over his body.His followers behind him were carrying white wreaths, looking incredibly out of place at such a happy event.Yvonne and the rest narrowed their eyes when they saw Karl, unsure why he was here.Harvey, on the other hand, shifted his gaze from the display and sized up Karl with a smile.“Master Quinlan, are you prepared to make a comeback for yourself?”“That’s right!”Karl’s expression was filled with arrogance and dominance. His fear toward Harvey had dissipated since then, and only his rich playboy tendencies still remained.He strutted towards Harvey in the hall and snarled haughtily, “I still remember everything that happened in the hospital and the car park!”“Everytime I dream, I only see you kneeling in f
Karl subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but it was impossible for him to be faster than Harvey.Before he could react, Harvey was already in front of him.He blurted out in panic, “Harvey, we’re all civilized people here. You…!”Crack!Harvey’s left hand held Karl’s neck the moment Karl spoke. Immediately, Karl could smell death then and there.Karl knew full well that if Harvey did so much as squeeze his hand even slightly, Karl would be dead.Karl was unwilling to be felled by a man who was so close to getting destroyed.His eyes twitched, but he still forced out a smile and said, “What? Are you going to kill me, Prince York?”Karl chuckled coldly.“Do it, then! I’m sure you’ll be able to kill me with just a squeeze of your hand.”“But when I die, the Quinlan family from Georgia will never let you off the hook!”“If you don’t end my life right now, I’ll take advantage of the people around you sooner or later!”“I heard that both your wife and your sister-in-law ar
Almost at the same time, a pink Rolls Royce Phantom appeared.Its appearance attracted every single person in sight.The car was parked at the entrance of Sky Corporation. When the doors opened, two people walked out.Both were clad in red. One looked gentle and graceful, the other was youthful and enchanting. But no matter how people saw them, they were both goddesses.They were none other than Mandy and Xynthia.“Who are these pretty ladies?”“How dare they come and support Sky Corporation like this?”“Are they mad, or do they have powerful backgrounds?”“That one’s Mandy Zimmer, the daughter of the Zimmer family of South Light. Harvey’s her live-in husband!”“The other one must be his sister-in-law!”“They look so beautiful, it’s a shame that they’re brain-dead. Haven’t they heard of the saying?”“Husband and wife are like birds, they’ll fly their separate ways when big trouble comes.”“The Zimmer family from South Light recently established a family again, I heard that
At the hall of Sky Corporation… Harvey looked calmly at the stocks that were turning red on the display.“Brother-In-Law, aren’t you moved?”Xynthia held Mandy’s hand while setting an exquisite flower basket on the side of the entrance, smiling warmly at him.“Sister and I had prepared for three whole days in secret to support you today!”“Sister was dealing with the Zimmer family, acting as if she wanted to break all ties with you once and for all. But in reality, she was figuring out ways to transfer all of Regency Enterprise’s assets to you!”“We did everything just to stand up for you today!”“If Regency Enterprise were to go bankrupt suddenly, then you’re responsible for taking care of us, Brother-In-Law!”Xynthia’s smile widened.“Don’t you worry, I’ll make sure to take care of you two.”Harvey returned the smile. His gaze then shifted towards Mandy.“This isn’t that that big of a deal, you didn’t have to come.”“The moment you knew your husband’s identity, you shoul
As the display showed the downpour of the market value...Sounds of another car’s roar echoed from the street once more.A very old car was seen slowly moving toward Sky Corporation before parking at the entrance.The car looked like it was about to fall apart any minute. Faye and her people looked at it with disdain. Harvey was actually desperate! His wife and sister-in-law aside, he must’ve found no one else to stand up for him.He let someone that drove a car like that to support him?What was this?Was this a joke?Disdain painted Karl and Peter’s faces. The next moment, an old man in a suit walked out of the car. A handsome man and an enchanting lady stood at both his sides: Avel and Rosalie Naiswell.Shane Naiswell held his hands together and said, “On such a big day, the Naiswell family would like to thank Sky Corporation for their recent support. This isn’t enough to repay your kindness, but here are three hundred million dollars as a small gift to congratulate Prin
Faye’s expression morphed into something horrible at Avel’s declaration. She remembered what had happened at Flynn’s Antiques before. She wanted to tear off Avel’s mouth so badly!Faye picked up her phone, her face icy.“The Naiswell family’s Antique Cities are suspected to traffic fakes. Tell the people from the antique management system to investigate them!”“Another thing! Contact every medium to small shareholder of the Naiswell family. Tell them that we’re buying off their entire stock!”“Also, contact every single family that has connections with Star Chaebol and the top four families from Hong Kong. Tell them to blacklist the Naiswell family from now on!”“I want the Naiswell family to go bankrupt right now!”Faye was coldly issuing orders against the Naiswell family, along with everyone that stood by Sky Corporation.The entire crowd listened to it in pity.. They then turned to Shane, looking disdainful of him.The Naiswell family would be history because they stood b
The crowd immediately fell silent after hearing that name.Dead silence filled the air.A major character such as this actually came to support Harvey?Even if it were just fifteen hundred dollars, who would dare to waste his investment? Who would dare to make him lose money?They, or perhaps their family, might need his help to recover when they fall seriously ill.Oskar ignored everyone else and casually approached the journalists with a light wave.“I, Oskar Armstrong, am buying some of the Sky Corporation’s stocks. This shouldn’t count as an inside trade, right?”The journalists all looked at each other. Seconds later, the news spread like wildfire. News from the stock market had such a big impact!A large group of investors saw that Oskar Armstrong, of all people, was buying a stock from Sky Corporation. Like sharks that smelled blood in the sea, they took immediate action. The red line that was on the verge of plummeting was once again skyrocketing at an unimaginable
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
