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
Lady Snake was imperious and overbearing. She hissed threateningly, “If you dare to talk nonsense again, little girl, the next slap will distort your pretty face!”But Xynthia was defiant and growled angrily, “You’re unruly and unreasonable…!”Harvey put down his spoon and took out a tissue paper to wipe his mouth. He then stood up.“Xynthia, step back!”Lilian stood in front of Xynthia, blocking Xynthia from Lady Snake.After all, Xynthia had yet to marry, and thus still very precious. If Xynthia’s face got ruined, how could Lilian sell her daughter off in the future?“Lady Snake, haven’t I already asked Senior Zimmer about it? I’ll do Mandy’s work, and I promise to get the divorce papers. Why do you need to hurt her?”“If you hurt her, how will you explain it to the prince?”Lady Snake was indifferent. “The prince’s order is to have Mandy divorce and force her to Mordu. He never said we couldn’t hurt her.”“Old Man Zimmer added that if she refuses to sign the divorce papers
“If you dare to touch Mandy, I guarantee you’ll meet an unsightly death.”Just then, a cold hiss resounded, devoid of any emotions.Harvey moved towards Mandy and sent Lady Snake’s three subordinates flying with a kick. “Try me if you don’t believe it.”Mandy quickly pulled Harvey away. “Harvey, this is none of your business!”She knew that Harvey was strong, but the combined combat prowess of Lady Snake’s subordinates’ was nothing to sneeze at. Plus, the black python with her made her even more terrifying.“I, die unsightly?”Lady Snake smiled. She had been a deity-like existence for so many years. This was the first time someone dared to threaten her in such a manner. She flashed Harvey a wicked smile. “Harvey, it seems you don’t know how good I am…”Her three subordinates grinned. Although they had just been kicked, their faces bore identical malevolent smiles.This live-in son-in-law was indeed an insolent young cub! How could he challenge a person like Lady Snake?Harve
Slap!Harvey moved to slap Lady Snake, sending her flying once more. “What’s wrong with me hitting you?”Harvey stepped on Lady Snake’s wrist, hard.Crack!The sound of her breaking bones rang loud and crisp in the air.“You think I don’t dare beat you up just because you raised a snake?”Crack!“You want to hurt your wife? Who gave you the courage to do that?”Crack!“Slapping my sister-in-law? Who do you think you are?”Crack!“Not only do you want to crush my limbs, but you also want my life? What makes you think you can get that?”At every word he spoke, Harvey broke Lady Snake’s bones one by one.When he finished speaking, Lady Snake’s limbs were all broken and she lay limp on the ground, convulsing in agony. Her initially grim and arrogant face was now riddled with fear. Under the light, her whole person looked appalling and extremely miserable.The whole crowd was dumbfounded.Her subordinates were even more dumbfounded.They never imagined that Harvey had th
Xynthia giggled and said, “I’m not afraid. Brother-in-law didn’t protect me just now!”“If I’m disfigured, my brother-in-law will take responsibility!”Mandy rubbed her temples in annoyance. “Just do as I say. Stop talking nonsense. You’re a girl. Aren't you ashamed to talk that way?”“Didn’t you hear what your sister said?! Hurry up and ice your face!”Lilian screamed in exasperation, jumping wildly. Her eldest daughter had been screwed over by this unscrupulous live-in son-in-law. If the younger daughter was also taken by him, then Lilian might as well commit suicide and jump into the river.Having seen Lady Snake’s terrible end at Harvey’s hands, she no longer dared to act so fiercely to Harvey. She suddenly thought of an idea and said, “Good son-in-law, thank you for tonight. If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid Mandy would’ve been badly hurt!”“I’m a mother. You have to understand, everything I say and do is for your good!”“So you mustn’t be angry with me!”Harvey could onl
The two slept, fully dressed. None of them crossed the line.Suddenly, at two o’clock in the morning, the ringing of a phone startled them awake.Harvey was shocked. He came back to his senses when he realized that it was not his phone.Mandy hurriedly answered the phone. Her expression instantly changed in the next moment. “What? Lady Snake and her subordinates are all dead?!”When he heard her, Harvey’s expression changed just as abruptly.He didn’t kill Lady Snake because he wanted Mandy to have a way out.Unexpectedly, Lady Snake still ended up dead.It was a scenario all too similar to Oliver Bauer’s death.There was almost no need to infer the cause. Harvey was certain that the other party was coming after him.Unfortunately, Mandy was dragged along in this mess.***Half an hour later, Harvey, Mandy, and her family went to the funeral home.There, many police cars and several luxury vehicles were present. The supposedly quiet funeral home was bursting with noise. M
“If it wasn;t because you couldn’t handle your unfilial daughter, I wouldn’t have needed to send Lady Snake out to execute the family law!”“If not for that, then she wouldn’t have gone to your house and there wouldn’t have been any accidents!”“I don’t know if you killed her or not. But you are certainly related to her untimely death!”“Lady Snake is the deity of the Jean family in Mordu!”“Now, she’s dead! You owe me an explanation!”Senior Zimmer was going a little rough on them. Simon and Lilian were afraid to avoid his blows, and they ended up badly beaten. “Grandfather, why beat people without clarifying things?!”Mandy and Xynthia couldn’t bear watching their parents being beaten. They rushed to protect Simon and Lilian.“Go to hell!”Seeing Mandy, a trace of fury flashed in Senior Zimmer’s eyes. He instantly brought his crutch toward Mandy.But just as the crutch was about to hit Mandy’s forehead…Bang!Harvey, who was standing in the back, stepped forward. He grab
“What I said doesn’t count?!”“Even the words of the head of the Jean family in Mordu doesn’t count?!”Senior Zimmer looked at Harvey with a sneer. “York! Do you really think that you have the right to act arrogantly in front of me when you’re just some prince from a fallen family?”“Do you think I’m the same as I was before?”“Since I’ve become the head, I’m not someone a nobody like you can offend!”“Come! Take Harvey down for me! Cut off his head and use it as a blood sacrifice to Lady Snake!”Senior Zimmer barked out an order, incredulous from anger.Several bodyguards flanked Harvey in an instant. They were powerful men specifically arranged to protect Senior Zimmer by Lucas himself. Not only did they possess amazing skills, but they also acted decisively and only obeyed Senior Zimmer’s orders.In a blink of an eye, they pulled out their guns and pointed them at Harvey.“Don’t!”Mandy immediately pushed Harvey to the ground.Swish!Five rays of lights locked on Harve
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
