“Justin Walker announced to the public that Rachel Hardy does things sloppily and does not have the right to be Mordu’s Longmen branch leader. He will fight against Rachel to the bitter end…”“Justin Walker’s best general will be heading back to Mordu from Wolsing…”All kinds of news spread everywhere. It was evident that Mordu’s Longmen branch was already reorganized after Aiden Bauer and Rachel joined forces.Only Justin was left to be cleaned up afterward. It wouldn’t be too hard to deal with him.When there would be a chance to deal with Justin once and for all, the entire Longmen branch from Mordu wouldn’t even dare to stand up against Harvey York.Harvey was not sure whether he should be happy or sad.The high and mighty Longmen actually stoop this low in such a powerful territory, Mordu. This was truly disappointing.Harvey believed that Justin wouldn’t cause that much trouble either. He should be easy enough to be dealt with.Harvey felt a little hungry after having som
Tamara Ebony froze over hearing Xynthia Zimmer’s words, then pushed her sunglasses up.“Fine fine fine. Since the princess wants her partner with her, let’s just get him in the car then.”“But I must warn you: we’re headed to Mordu’s most well-known entertainment venue. If he causes a big ruckus there, I won’t be able to help.”Naturally, Tamara didn’t want Harvey to go at all. But since she was afraid that Xynthia would follow Harvey York, she had no choice but to bring him along.After hearing Tamara agreeing to bring Harvey along, Xynthia went to the back of the car and sat with Harvey.Tamara frowned after seeing the sight.But after thinking that the man that looked like a Fragrant Hill security guard was only following Xynthia to the evening banquet for food after meeting her out of sheer luck, Tamara became calmer than before.‘He’s just a security guard. It wouldn’t make a difference bringing him along anyway. He won’t be able to stop tonight’s main attraction.”Without
“I don’t have any opinions since Xynthia Zimmer wanted to take you out to see the world, but don’t stir up trouble!“Find a place to sit down and eat after you get in the hall. Xynthia and I have people to mingle with. We don’t have time to accompany you!“And please be a little more reserved! If you eat like a hungry wolf, you’ll be made fun of!“I’ll be embarrassed if that happens!”After hearing Tamara Ebony’s presumptuous extortion, Harvey smiled without opening his mouth while showing an indifferent expression.If it weren’t for Xynthia, he would rather be someplace else.“Right, one more thing, Young Master Holt might be here any minute now.“When you see him, please keep your distance from Xynthia!“He fell in love with Xynthia at first sight. That’s why if you get too close to Xynthia, he might just go crazy and lash out at you.”“Young Master Holt?” Harvey subconsciously asked, then looked at Xynthia.Xynthia stuck out her cute little tongue, then quietly exclaimed,
The entire hall seemed quite luxurious while being trendy at the same time. This was the favorite place for every single big character from Mordu to socialize.But Harvey York was not interested in those people at all. He could not even bother taking a second glance when he saw the celebrities that he was familiar with. He then grabbed his plate and started eating.Harvey was starving for the entire day. It was nice having such a big meal there anyway. It would save a lot of time that would take him looking for food outside.“Why are you here?”Right when Harvey was munching on three steaks, an odd tone from someone’s voice echoed behind Harvey.Harvey turned around and saw a feminine man wearing a checkered suit and gold-rimmed glasses sizing up Harvey.Harvey threw a T-bone back on the plate, then wiped his mouth.“Who are you? Do we know each other?”“Are you trying to pretend, kid?“I can’t believe you found your way here after clinging onto the Malone family for food!”T
Gulping on food and drinks in such a high-end venue like the Paramount was an embarrassing act to those well-known ladies.‘Where did this guy come from?’‘Is he a reincarnation of a hungry ghost?’A middle-aged man wearing a suit then walked over soon after. He seemed pretty polite, but there was a fierce look in his eyes.Apparently, a person like that had been around the underworld for a while and recently retired.There was a name card on his chest, Hall Manager Lenny Thompson was written on the card.Lenny strutted toward Harvey York, then slapped Harvey’s plate onto the table and coldly exclaimed, “Sir, where is your invitation? Or can you tell me who brought you in here?”“What? Do I need an invitation to a banquet now?“I need another person to get me in too?“Is this place the Emperor’s palace now?”Harvey raised his eyebrows for a second, then grabbed a tart without minding anyone else.“How come I’ve never seen you ask for an invitation from other people?“Are yo
If anyone were just doing their job as they were told, Harvey York wouldn’t make it harder for them either. He wouldn’t mind telling them his background.But since Lenny Thompson obviously came here to support Steven Bauer, how could Harvey even possibly stay civil?“With the gods’ courage, you say?“Kid, I don’t need that to deal with you.“But speaking of, why are you doing this?”Lenny looked at Harvey as if he was a scoundrel that could not be taught.“Since you’re just a low-class person that doesn’t belong in this upper social circle, you shouldn’t be crashing without any invitation!“You should know that you wouldn’t gain anything other than embarrassing yourself by coming here without knowing your limits.“Do you understand what I’m talking about here?“If you are willing to get out of here obediently, I’ll pay for your cab myself.“I wouldn’t want a rotten egg spoiling the entire basket in the Paramount either. You understand, right?”Lenny then pulled out a hundred
A few tall and strong security guards came closer to Harvey York with cold expressions on their faces, ready to throw Harvey out.“I’m sorry! I brought him here!”Tamara Ebony and Xynthia Zimmer just came out after fixing their makeup.Seeing that Harvey was in a conflict with Lenny Thompson, they came forward to mediate the situation.Xynthia immediately rushed toward Lenny and apologized.“Manager Thompson, his name is Harvey. He’s my friend, and I brought him here to attend Lady Walker’s birthday banquet.“He’s quite rash, so please be patient with him!”Naturally, Xynthia didn’t want Harvey to be kicked out before the main event even started.Tamara glared at Harvey, full of disdain. But after seeing Xynthia standing up for Harvey, Tamara still quietly exclaimed, “Manager Thompson, please do it for my sake!“I’ll make him apologize!“Harvey York, hurry up and say sorry!”“There’s nothing else to say.”Harvey started to twirl the knife and fork in his hands.“I already
In Bryan Holt’s eyes, he could kill off an outsider like Harvey York with a flick of his finger. He could trample on Harvey however he pleased.Bryan felt like he was already giving enough respect toward Xynthia Zimmer for not taking action at that moment.“Young Master Holt, why are you here already?”Tamara Ebony could not help but get closer to Bryan, just as if she wanted to be merged with his body.At that moment, she pretended to stop the fight.“Mr. Harvey York here is a good friend of Xynthia’s.“When I went to fetch Xynthia, she said that she wouldn’t attend if Mr. York isn’t coming too.“That’s why I also invited him here.“Please don’t get mad, Young Master Holt. And don’t chase him away either. I won’t be able to keep Xynthia here if she wants to leave!”Tamara then looked at Harvey and said calmly, “Harvey, please don’t mind all of this. Young Master Holt is a very outspoken person. He has an extreme sense of loyalty as well, always sticking out for his fellow bro
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
