“Who are you calling your mother-in-law?”“You really have no shame!”Kait glared fiercely at Harvey. However, she had to admit that her heavy heart felt a little lighter after Harvey’s teasing. She thought about his question, and sighed. “My mother was my father’s first wife, and she was also one of the high-level members of the branch of Longmen. After she and my father got married, they showed respect and affection for one another.”“But when I was eighteen, my father suddenly brought back a woman. She was Angelina John.”“My father said that Angelina was the daughter of the John family from Golden Sands, and has a distinguished status. Her status would help him greatly in his ambition to step up as the branch leader.”“So, he hoped that my mother would step aside and file for divorce.”“But my mother is a martial arts athlete, and she was a firm woman. How could she agree? Not only did she refuse, but she also slapped Angelina in retaliation.”“Then…”“That night, several
Harvey sent a message with his phone, and then unfastened Kait’s seatbelt.Kait was confused. “Harvey, what are you doing now?”“You’re driving too slow. Let me do it.”Harvey slid over to the driver’s seat through the armrest and sat right behind Kait.Kait curled up instinctively, snuggling into Harvey’s arms.They were so close that they could smell each other. Their position was very ambiguous.Kait blushed. This was the first time she was so close to a man.Harvey ignored her. Instead, he motioned Kait to go to the passenger seat. He then fastened the seatbelt.Vroom!The Ferrari 488 adjusted to sports mode, and the engine hummed. Then, it whizzed forward frantically.The Toyota Prados following behind noticed something. At that moment, they no longer concealed their intentions and speed toward Harvey and Kait with murderous fervor.Harvey remained calm and casual. He turned on the phone navigation and glanced at the map on display. He quickly turned the steering wheel,
Harvey looked at this scene indifferently. After seeing the car being fully inundated by the sea, he started the Ferrari again and drove on the main road.It took a long time for Kait to react. “Harvey, they’ll die!”There was no rain or storm at this moment, there was a famous danger zone in front of him. Once the cars entered the sea, the chance of survival was zero.Harvey was unfazed. He said indifferently, “Kait, you’re not a three-year-old kid anymore. You should understand.”“If they stopped our car just now, the person who died will most likely be me.”“They want to kill me. Can’t I resist?”“If you think I’m ruthless, you can leave at any time.”“You can also stick with me till the end and let Justin’s dream of becoming the branch leader come to nothing. You can make Angelina and Lucas pay the price for their actions, which is also considered as getting justice for your mother.”Harvey looked indifferent.He used Kait to approach Justin. His main purpose was indeed th
Kait looked at the opened door of the No 1. Villa in front of her, surprised. “Harvey, are you really close with Master Lynch?”“A little. He gave me this villa.”“Do you have more confidence in your poor boyfriend now?”Harvey found a guest room for Kait to stay in, and proceeded to take a shower.He had been busy all day today, and was a little tired. Taking a hot bath was the best way to eliminate fatigue.While Harvey was in the shower, Kait went around the entire villa.She was surprised to find out that Harvey truly lived here. Judging from the mess in the villa, he had no intention of cherishing it. Some of the priceless decorations and furniture were damaged by him.From what it seemed, this place truly belonged to him. A mere guest would be too frightened to damage such expensive items. Ding!His phone in the living room rang. Kait answered it. “Hello, who is this?”The person on the other side of the phone was slightly taken aback, and then asked, “Who are you?”K
“I’m sorry if I interrupted anything earlier, CEO York.”Yvonne’s voice was calm, but for some reason, Harvey could sense that she was in a sour mood.‘But it’s not right. Yvonne’s my secretary. There’s nothing between us.’Harvey looked helpless. After a while, he sighed. “Yvonne, it’s not what you think. Something really happened.”“This girl is Kait Walker. She’s the daughter of the Walker family. I went out with her in the afternoon. Something happened…”“She said that she’s your girlfriend. How could it be all right?” Yvonne said with a half-smile.“I’m not very bright, but please don’t lie to me, CEO York.”Harvey sighed again. “That’s enough, Yvonne. Cut it out.”“My purpose of approaching her is mainly for the Longmen’s Mordu branch. She is Justin Walker’s daughter. I’ll start with her and see if there is a chance to resolve this matter peacefully.”“Since I used her and she got into trouble, I helped her.”Harvey told Yvonne the whole story of how he met Kait.Yvon
Winter was coming. The north wind howled throughout Mordu.In a seaside villa area, a fire was burning within an old building.“Come, come, come, Prince. You can try my newly unsealed fifty-year-old Maotai!”“We, the great Country H, have enjoyed beer and wine in the past few years. Winter is coming, and liquor can warm the body.”In the Walker Mansion, all the furniture in the previously chaotic hall had been replaced with brand new ones.One person was seated at each end of the rectangular dining table.Angelina, whose face was a little red and swollen, sat at one end. A young man in a woolen suit sat at the other end.Angelina’s temper was not as terrible as it was when she faced Harvey. At this moment, her temperament was very refined and sophisticated. She exuded the elegance tempered by all her time in the elite circles. Other than the unsealed Maotai, all kinds of exquisite food were present on the table. They were prepared by the Michelin chef.“Prince, you just got o
Lucas smiled. “Auntie, don’t worry.”“My relationship with Kait won’t change because of such a small thing.”“You have to trust me. Kait is not only your daughter, but she is also my fiancée.”“Naturally, I will treat her with great love and care.He snapped his finger lightly after speaking.A woman in a red dress, standing in the distance, came up and bowed.“Macy, give them a call.”“Tell them to bring Kait back.”Macy Howard nodded and then took a few steps back. She dialed her phone, her face blank and indifferent expression.Then, her face grew odd. She quickly dialed another number.Then a third, a fourth…Ten calls were made in succession, but they were all either shut down or the lines were busy.Macy could not remain indifferent anymore. She quickly approached Lucas and whispered in a low voice, “Prince, the call can’t get through. Something’s wrong.”Lucas looked indifferent. He saw Angelina’s puzzled eyes and said, “Locate them and let others go support them.”
Macy said solemnly, “Prince, I didn’t mean to ruin your mood.”“But I have to. This is very important!”Lucas’ voice was cold. He said slowly , “Say it!”Macy hurriedly went near his ears and quickly whispered the news to him in a low voice.Lucas’ face, which was originally calm, was replaced by unconcealed anxiety after listening to Macy’s words.“Lady Angelina, please don’t worry. I’ll let Kait come back safely before dawn.”Lucas regained his composure quickly and stood up.“I’m very happy to meet you today, but I still have some things to deal with.”“Let’s have another good meal together tomorrow.”“I’ll treat you at that time.”No matter the emergency, Lucas could always maintain his calm and sophisticated demeanor.“Okay, you should go.”Angelina’s eyes flickered slightly. She did not force Lucas to stay. Instead, she smiled and said, “Kait is very naïve. Since she’s still quite young, please bear with her.”Angelina assumed that Lucas’s men, sent to take Harvey an
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
