“Harvey, come in and sit next to me. Your aunt is always thinking about crooked ways all day. Just ignore her!”Kelly Malone brought Harvey York into the room and instantly ignored June Lee, who was outraged at that moment.June was so angry that the corner of her eyes twitched. She wished she could slap Kelly and even more, hoping to choke the shameless fellow, Harvey, to death.Harvey did not have the slightest intention to eat this meal. He knew this meal would be bad since June treated him with contempt.However, since Kelly has been treating him nicely, he could not bring himself to disappoint him.“Everyone, let me introduce you to you. This is my old friend’s son, Harvey. He comes to Mordu to work his way up this time. Please take care of him in the future for my sake!”Entering the room, Kelly introduced Harvey with an enthusiastic look.He just called yesterday, and Harvey instantly came to Mordu today. Thus, Kelly consciously felt that Harvey had come to join him.Non
A man and a woman, wearing luxury accessories and jewels, arrived together at this moment.The man was 1.85 meters tall. He was handsome and looked buffed. Other than that, he wore golden-framed glasses and seemed very gentle. However, his pale complexion and the faint fragrance perfume from his body made him exude a feminine temperament.This was the so-called sissy in the eyes of the older generation.As for the woman, she was about 1.7 meters. Her face was as delicate as jade. Her clothes, bags, watches, and accessories could sum up to ten years’ salary for an ordinary person.Her clothes were unique, revealing her tiny waist, which made people unconsciously want to touch it.Those two people were Steven Walker and Hazel Malone.“Isn’t this Young Master Walker? I was wondering why a magpie flew into our room just now! It turns out that you have arrived. How kind of you to come in person!”June Lee, whose face was dark as ink just now, had a smile on her face at this moment, f
Harvey York looked indifferent and drank his tea.This kind of showing off was meaningless to him.Unless Steven Walker could buy an aircraft carrier and place it in front of him, or else, Harvey would not feel anything.As for Kelly Malone, he was of a humble origin, so naturally, he despised such behavior of showing off one’s wealth.However, the problem was that Steven did not say anything himself. Instead, it was June Lee who took this opportunity to ridicule Harvey. Thus, Steven could not say anything.“Oh right, Uncle!”Under the praise of the group of people, Steven handsomely took out a gift box. He put it on the table, smiled, and said, “Uncle, this is the liquid gold that our Kaizen Group has been selling very well recently. Please accept it! This is very good for your health. It can prolong your life. Take this as a token of my appreciation.“It’s not that expensive. So, please don’t mind it.”Kelly frowned slightly, but he still said, “Thank you.”“Is this the lege
“Mother was nagging about it yesterday already, saying that Father was trying to entertain some poor relative again!“I didn’t think that it would be Harvey York!“Where does he get the courage to attend the evening banquet anyway? Compared to Young Master Walker, Harvey’s just a beggar.“Why did I even think that he was handsome when I was younger?”Hazel Malone looked at Harvey and could not help but let out a secret sigh, then subconsciously compared Steven Walker with her childhood sweetheart, Harvey. She didn’t know how appalling the comparisons were until then!Steven was exceptionally talented at such a young age, being the business manager of Kaizen Group at the moment. He also attended Mordu’s off-road car club and was the nephew of Deputy Branch Leader Walker.Regardless of the connections, influence, or capabilities, a character like this could be considered the top man in Mordu already.Compared to him, Harvey was not even worthy to carry shoes for him.As for Har
The crowd was dead silent after hearing those words. Everyone was shocked while looking at Harvey York.“Harvey, what exactly do you mean by that?”June Lee’s willow eyebrows frowned. She was furious.“Steven Walker gave you some respect for shaking your hand. It’s an opportunity for you. It’s fine if you don’t want to shake hands, but you said that he has no right to shake your hand?”“You said that he has too low of a status, capability, and identity?”“And that he’s unworthy to shake your hand?”“Who do you think you are?”“Longmen’s deputy branch leader?”Hazel Malone was dumbfounded when she stared at Harvey in astonishment.But she soon understood that Harvey, the live-in son-in-law, must’ve had come to Mordu to be the live-in son-in-law of the Malone family. This poor man must’ve planned to have a piece of gold for himself!Seeing that Hazel and Steven came together must’ve made Harvey quite jealous. That was why he started to insult Steven.At this moment, Hazel had
Steven Walker sighed. He was too tired to even talk with Harvey York any longer. He looked at Kelly Malone and said, “Uncle Malone, I won’t tell my uncle, Deputy Branch Leader Walker, about this out of respect for Hazel Malone and Aunty Malone.“But, you best send this country bumpkin back to where he came from.“If not, even I can’t help you if he were to spout nonsense outside.”Steven let out a sigh, then turned around and left after saying those words. He felt like he would be dragged into the mess if he even stayed in the same room as Harvey.All the other guests had their eyes twitching, then all of them stood up and showed forced smiles on their faces.“CEO Malone, I still have some business to attend to back home, so I’ll be leaving now. I’ll treat you to a meal next time! Next time!”After a few words, the guests ran faster than rabbits ever could.With the crazy person, Harvey, spouting nonsense here, the guests would also be in trouble if someone from Longmen were to
“You’d still keep this live-in son-in-law that’s been kicked out of another family and insist on him marrying our daughter!“Kelly Malone, you’re sick! Sick with madness!”Kelly then coldly replied, “Hazel Malone and Harvey York were childhood sweethearts. Both families already agreed on the marriage back then. I’m only honoring my end of the promise. Why? Is that bad?”“You…”June Lee was so mad that she could not catch a breath. She sat on the chair and glared at Kelly as if she wanted to tear him apart.Hazel frowned. She was getting more repulsed the more she looked at Harvey at that moment.Other than bluffing up a storm, Harvey was only good at chasing after what he could not obtain.It was because of Harvey that Hazel’s loving and caring parents were on each other’s throats.Her mother might even fall sick because of how mad she was.Steven Walker was so mad that he also left. It was unsure what the family was going to do next.Thinking about those affairs, Hazel felt
Harvey York walked out of the Building of Peace, then took a glance behind him without saying a word.He was indeed Mordu’s branch leader of Longmen, and this was where he would be revealing his identity.Even though Kelly Malone and his family did not believe Harvey, they would do so in the future.Harvey did not have any intention to explain either. He called for a cab and went to the destination that Tyson Woods arranged them to be.Harvey’s phone vibrated at this moment. A text message was forwarded.Kelly urged Harvey to stay in a hotel for the time being, then told Harvey not to chase after unattainable dreams and remain realistic. He also reminded Harvey not to talk big.Harvey could not help but smile after seeing the text message. Even though it had been a long time since they met, Kelly was still indeed a fine adult.Harvey felt that Kelly genuinely cared about him.Harvey gave a thought about it, then replied without providing much of an explanation saying that he ha
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
Boom! Boom! Boom!There was a string of explosions in mid-air. The bolts had also been engulfed by the explosion. Even after Harvey had managed to negate the attacks, he didn't stop. He grabbed the rocks from the ground with his hand.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Several elites hidden in the shadows instantly lost their fighting skills."He really is a True Warrior," Clarion muttered when he saw what happened. He wasn't even sure what to say.He thought he should be able to put himself to some use this time, hence why he asked to come with Harvey. He didn't expect Harvey to be so powerful that he needed others at all.Very quickly, all the attackers gathered. It was obvious they knew they couldn't do anything to Harvey anymore."These people are from the Origin Sword Style!" Clarion said seriously after he looked at what the attackers were wearing. "They're quite troublesome. While they look like they're over-the-top, they're most likely sacrificial soldiers. But the problem is t
"Of course, if we can maintain absolute discretion, we can escape without alerting anyone once we find Ms. Mandy," Clarion said, remaining positive. "That way, we don't have to fight and draw the attention of those who hold power in Sky Plane."Harvey was sitting in the van. He frowned and looked at the buildings with clear Island Nation influence. "Since Daichi is blackmailing me using Mandy, that means they're confident we won't be able to take her away. I believe we'll have to fight with those from the Origin Sword Style today."Harvey gave it a thought for a while and said, "And don't you think that the information Vaida gave us is too accurate? As if someone left behind an opening for us."Clarion's eyes widened. "Don't tell me this is a trap just for us?"Harvey shook his head. "Not only for us, but also for Grand City. If we're really stuck here… It doesn't matter if we're killed or captured alive, we'll become the excuse for them to attack Grand City. This time, we must…"
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
