Harvey York was handsome, and his figure was quite slim. Nonetheless, the indifferent words that he spoke while standing here were like the northwest wind in the winter, making Seth Keaton feel the chill all over his body and even deep in his bones.“Young man, what do you want?“Could it be that you still want to attack me?”Seth’s facial expression turned awful at that moment.Although he was at a disadvantage at present, he couldn’t overpower Harvey with Aiden Bauer’s presence.However, Aiden’s status was considered average in Mordu, and it was certainly not of the highest level.Seth had been in Mordu for so many years, and he must have his backer.Thus, he couldn't actually kneel at this moment.After all, dignity and self-esteem were very important for them. If he kneeled today, how would he survive in Mordu in the future?“You coveted Xynthia’s beauty. You failed to threaten her, and you hit her. You even wanted to force yourself on her…“Since you have the guts to adm
“Young Master Feige, I’m Seth Keaton from Keaton Real Estates. I have encountered some problems today!“I provoked Young Master Aiden Bauer and his friend!“They want me to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair and make Keaton Real Estates go bankrupt!”On the other side of the phone, Timothy Feige was stunned for a moment. He then replied coldly, “Aiden Bauer?“Why did you offend that b*stard?”Apparently, Timothy despised Aiden.Aiden’s complexion also became awful after hearing this.Harvey smiled indifferently and said, “CEO Keaton, tell Young Master Feige more precisely that the person you offended isn’t Aiden, but me, Harvey.”Seth did not know where Harvey’s confidence came from, but he still unconsciously mentioned, “I mainly provoked a person named Harvey. He…”The voice on the other side of the phone fell silent for a moment.Then, Timothy continued to speak, “I’ll give you a piece of advice. If he wants to ruin you, just go and buy a wheelchair obediently.”Th
Harvey York left the Center of Mordu on his own.He didn’t care too much about how Seth Keaton ended up. He believed that Aiden Bauer would certainly handle Seth properly, knowing his style of doing things.As for Timothy Feige, he was ruined by him. If he dared to jump out at this moment, Harvey would surely destroy him in minutes.Ding…An unfamiliar call came in as Harvey was walking out of the Center of Mordu.Harvey picked up the phone and answered the call. Soon, a majestic voice came from the other side of the phone. “Harvey, I’m Justin Walker.”“Good afternoon, Deputy Branch Leader Walker. Calling me at this time, what can I do for you?“Are you planning to invite me to dinner?”Justin’s voice was cold. He then said indifferently, “Meet me at Mordu Broadway in half an hour. I’ll treat you to dinner.“I need to talk to you.”Harvey looked appreciative and said, “Deputy Branch Leader Walker, I have to admit that although you couldn’t wait to kill me, still, you have to
Justin Walker’s face turned dark. Harvey York did not show him any respect at all and kept slapping him in the face.Kait Walker looked at her father curiously. Her father had always been a proud and conceited figure. It was certainly rare for him to remain calm and not flip the table over after being mocked by Harvey at that moment.“Alright.”Harvey put down his chopsticks and poured a cup of tea.“Since Deputy Branch Leader Walker really went out of your way asking me to come, it shouldn’t be just as simple as having a meal, right?“I wonder what sort of deal are you going to make with me, Deputy Branch Leader Walker?“We’re all grown-ups here. Why don’t you just talk to me straight?”Justin was quite impressed. He then said indifferently, “Harvey, although I don’t like you, I still have to admit that you are quite a figure amongst the younger generation.“Since you are so frank, then I’ll talk with you!“Letting you come here this time, there are three things.“Firstly, t
3.2 billion dollars. That was an earth-shattering number.To put it simply, their ancestors would not be able to accumulate this amount of money even if they weren’t meant to.Although the Walker family had tens of billions worth of assets, it would still affect them badly if they had to ante up so much cash in a short period.Moreover, the position of the branch leader of Longmen wasn’t something that money could buy.However, Harvey York refused to take any money just to get justice and give Angelina John an explanation. How could anyone not be moved?It could be said that Kait Walker had never met someone so kind to her since her childhood.Even if Lucas Jean kept saying that he wanted to marry her, he never told her about finding the truth for her or giving her an explanation.At this moment, Kait unconsciously grabbed Harvey’s wrist and whispered, “Harvey, stop talking nonsense!”Connie Bree and the others all looked at Harvey. They were dumbfounded.Even if Harvey was th
“Hiding?”Harvey York smiled and remained indifferent.“For you, this thing represents peerless power. But for me, it’s nothing.“If you want, I can sell it to you.“But the price has increased now. 3.2 billion dollars!”Harvey stretched out his fingers.“The condition is still the same. Give Kait Walker’s mother an explanation, and then I shall give this thing to you!”Justin Walker was breathing quickly. He tried to grab the token several times, but he knew full well that he might not be able to snatch it due to Harvey’s skills.Once things went sour, and this thing was exposed, even if he was Justin Walker, he might not be able to keep it.Thousands of thoughts flashed through Justin’s mind at that moment.He calmly took a glass of red wine and took a sip after a while. He then looked at Harvey gently, “There is a saying in the past, a king who loves women will give up the throne. I didn’t believe it in the past.“But I believe it today!“Harvey, although I don’t know wh
After seeing Justin walk away, Connie and the others followed him out.Tears dripped down Kait’s cheeks. She never thought that her father would rather hand over 3.2 billion dollars than to give his own daughter a statement.An expression full of grief and resignation was showing on her pretty face.“I’m sorry, Kate. I wasn’t able to help.”Harvey sighed, then reached out his hand to rub Kait’s head.He too did not think that Kait’s father would rather give up the money than to give his daughter a statement.“But don’t worry. Your father thinks he can become the branch leader just by taking the badge?”“He’s being a little too naive!”“Since he’s not going to give you a statement, he’ll never have the chance to be the branch leader his entire life!”Harvey showed no emotion then. Judging by Mordu’s Longmen branch, a badge would not be able to decide anything.Only immense amounts of authority and combat power could solidify one’s position as a leader.If Justin were to fooli
“3.2 billion dollars?!”Angelina gasped.“Justin, are you mad?! Why would you use that much money for something like this?!”“That child is just a security guard, why would he have something this valuable on him?!”“Were you tricked?”Angelina's heart ached! That was 3.2 billion spent, not 32 dollars!Justin then calmly replied, “I’ve already inspected it before, this is the real thing.”“It doesn’t matter how he got it, it’s in my hands now.”“With this badge, I’ll be able to rise in ranks by the books! I’ll even be able to get there without putting up a fight!”“You don’t need to worry about the money anymore!”“Using this badge, Kaizen Group will be under our control. This is the most important thing.”Angelina sighed after hearing those words. She seemed to have calmed down.Justin was right; the badge looked simple, but the meaning behind it was immense.Other than the position as branch leader of Mordu’s Longmen branch, it represented higher power, wealth, and status
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
