“The Smith family’s direct line of descent is still fine because the head of that organization is waiting for the fifteenth next month.“This is because that day… Is the day that we killed the leader of the organization twenty years ago!“She’ll use the entire Smith family as offerings for her leader!”“I don’t have much time!”“The Smith family doesn’t have much time left!”“That’s why you better not get involved, Harvey York. Not only are you unable to fix the problem, but you’ll also cause a great deal of trouble!”The remaining head of the organization was called Trisha Cloude.She was the strongest killer within the organization back then. She had been lying in wait for twenty whole years. Nobody would know how strong she had gotten. Nobody knew how much backup she had either.Against a group of killers who would stop at nothing to get what they wanted, money, authority, power, support, and connections meant nothing to them.If not, the Smith family at least had some dign
Harvey York chuckled.“If all I need to do is to call up a top ten killer on the list to fix the problem, then even I can do just that.“Because the top three killers all owe me a favor.“I’ll just get one of them to do the job.”Harvey was telling the truth. On the Euro-American Battlefield back then, every powerful country spent heaps of money hiring top ten killers to deal with Harvey.But almost half of them died off. There were a few of them that Harvey had subdued for quite a lot of obvious reasons.Harvey had not contacted any single one of them after all those years.But if there were a need, a simple text message would be able to bring one or two of the killers home.“You?”Michelle chuckled without replying after hearing those words.“I’ll admit that you have a bit of money and influence, but I still don’t believe you.“Not even calling them back. I’ll kneel if you can name even a single killer from the list!“Harvey York, big talk isn’t going to fix this problem!
Back in the Gardens Residence, Mandy Zimmer was already asleep.Harvey York did not disturb her. He came into the study room and took out an ancient-looking phone.After letting out a quiet sigh, Harvey then dialed the phone.“It’s me.”Silence echoed from the other side of the phone for a while. A gentle voice could be heard soon after.“Chief Instructor, why are you calling me now?”“I need you to protect someone,” Harvey replied immediately.“I’m a killer, not a bodyguard.”A cold tone could be heard from the other side of the phone.“Then I’ll put it this way, I need you to follow a person and kill every killer that would even dare to come close to her to make sure she stays alive.”After a long silence, the person on the other side of the phone replied, “Time, place, price.”“I’m unsure about the time and place, but you won’t owe me anymore after you do this for me.”“Fine!”The person hung up the phone after her nonchalant agreement.After being quiet for a while, H
Everyone was dead silent.Michelle exclaimed loudly in the next moment, “You bastard! Are you trying to kill me?!”Handel and the others came back to their senses and rushed toward their master to help.Some even had their firearms pointed at Harvey York. They would shoot Harvey to death if Michelle were to be pronounced dead. Only then would they have something to report.“Ngh…”Michelle was trembling slightly, and her pale face turned black in the blink of an eye. Her whole body started to tremble profusely afterward. She was clearly enduring a lot of pain at that moment.“If you don’t do anything about this, the person that you’re in charge of protecting might just die here!” Harvey calmly said.In a split second, a waiter that nobody even noticed suddenly rushed forward from the corner of the room.Her face was extremely plain, and so was her figure. Nobody would even remember her if she walked with a crowd.She swiftly came in front of Michelle and tapped twice on her nec
Harvey York calmly looked at Michelle and sincerely said, “People have been dying since the dawn of time. Who wouldn’t be afraid of death?“That’s why I don’t blame you for being this scared.“But now that you’ve been at Death’s door and confirmed that there will be someone protecting you at all times, I don’t think you’ll need support from the Thompson family now, do you?“I can even guarantee you that even the Thompson family aren’t able to get someone as strong as Cora Lloyd.“And with a trump card such as this, I’m sure you’ll be able to rise up the ranks immensely when you get back to your family.“Danger will always reveal new opportunities, am I right?”Michelle and Handel’s eyes twitched for a moment. They never thought Harvey would actually say something like this.But they had to admit that Harvey was right.After experiencing such an event and getting a new killer as a bodyguard, Michelle wasn’t as terrified of Trisha Cloude anymore.From another perspective, the cr
Lady Snake was the person assigned by Lucas Jean to protect Senior Zimmer.She was quite powerful, a true professional.This was also the reason why Senior Zimmer was this bold.An old witch holding a black snake in her hands walked out at this moment. An evil smile leaked out of her face, then retreated into the shadows.After seeing the sight, even Quinn Zimmer, who was considered quite powerful, felt numb in her head.Lady Snake was scary. Not only was she mighty, but her ways to control snakes also made her even more terrifying.***At the Gardens Residence.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates, who had left for a long while, came back and prepared a lavish meal. They asked Mandy Zimmer to get Harvey York back as well.After seeing her parents act this way, Mandy felt that something was off, but there was no point pointing this out. Mandy called Harvey back after.Xynthia Zimmer was asked to come back as well.The whole family was finally back together. It was a lovely sight.
“Mother, the marriage is between Harvey York and me. Can you stop getting involved?”Mandy Zimmer knew full well why her mother said those words. Mandy bit her pale lip and quietly exclaimed her words at that moment.“Stop getting involved? If I don’t get involved, God knows what kind of trouble both of you will stir up because of this!“Mordu’s Jean family is the head of our family. The prince shows you respect by asking you to get a divorce and is preparing for you to develop in Mordu!“You’ve been rejecting the offer over and over again. What for?“Maybe you’re saying that Harvey suits you now because he’s quite outstanding!“But how long can this prince even last?!“The top four families from Hong Kong were against him!“Who knows what kind of family would want him dead next?!“How safe can you even be if you follow a man like this?!“The most important thing is that the Jean family is at least a thousand times stronger than this rundown prince! You must listen to Prince
Bang!Right at this moment, the doors of the Gardens Residence were kicked open.Lilian Yates stood up and screamed furiously after seeing the sight.“Which bastard kicked down the doors?!”“Don’t you know that this is my property?!”Simon Zimmer subconsciously looked over as well.Around six people were seen at the entrance. Lady Snake, who was leading the group, had a black Python slithering around her neck.The people following her seemed extremely righteous.But all of them were keeping their distance with Lady Snake. Naturally, they were all afraid of the black Python.After seeing that the person who kicked down the doors was Senior Zimmer’s favorite person, Lilian’s arrogant and furious face instantly changed, brimming with happiness. She then walked forward and said, “You’re here, Lady Snake! Please have a seat!“I was wondering why magpies were chirping around the house in the morning!“It was because of you coming and gracing us with your presence!”She furiously
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
