Harvey’s words turned Larry and Fred’s faces ugly.They certainly wanted to trample on Harvey to get their so-called justice for the incident in Hengdian World Studios.Yet they failed every time and always ended up humiliated, making them very miserable.“So you are Harvey?”Meanwhile, the woman who was surrounded by everyone slowly stepped forward.The staccato beat of her high heel shoes echoed off of the ground every step of the way, further intensifying her arrogant and domineering demeanor.Harvey narrowed his eyes at the other party and asked, “Who are you?”“This is Elisa Jean from Mordu Police Station!”“She’s also a member of the Jean family of Mordu, which is one of the top ten families!”“I specially asked Director Jean to come over and bring us justice.”“I want to see if there’s any senseless policeman who still insists on dragging me to the police station!”Larry said playfully. So what if Harvey had connections in the police station?With Elisa’s background
“Explanation?”Harvey laughed.“Okay. You should tell me what I need to explain to you next and how I should go about it, Director Jean.”Elisa Jean from the Jean family of Mordu seemed to have a lot of energy.But to Harvey, Elisa wasn’t good enough to speak for Larry.Since she was from the Jean family of Mordu, Harvey wouldn’t mind trampling her to death. It would certainly rouse Lucas’s anger. “How should you explain?”“Since you’ve asked, let me tell you.”“The price now has become 4.7 billion dollars!”“Kneel and grovel to Mr. Chambers three times!”“Ruin three of your fingers yourself!”“Can you do all that?”Elisa had an indifferent expression. “If you can’t, then let’s take our time and talk this over.”“We’ll surely come up with a satisfactory conclusion.”Elisa snapped her fingers as she spoke. Several men, who were initially standing guard behind her, immediately moved forward. Their gazes were sharp, and they exuded a very intimidating aura. They looked as
Harvey smiled and curled his fingers in Fred’s direction.Fred looked disdainful. He approached Harvey again and barked, “Why? Do you still want to provoke me and let me come over?”“Come, come, come! Hit me!”“Come on, just hit me!”“If you don’t hit me, you’re a coward! A bastard…”Slap!Before Fred could finish his words, Harvey instantly slapped him.“Argh!” Fred screamed in pain, blood spurting from his mouth and nose. He was sent flying and hit the wall before falling to the ground, looking extremely miserable.The crowd was shocked. The female stars’ faces slackened with fear and disbelief.Larry’s hand, which was about to light up his cigar, stiffened and it trembled slightly in mid-air.Even Elisa Jean, who was initially calm and relaxed, was also slightly taken aback.She never imagined that Harvey would actually hit Fred.Before her eyes, to boot?Anger surged up in her heart. Elisa, who was always domineering, felt that she was being trampled under someone’s fo
Elisa was taken aback for a moment when she saw the newcomer. The next second, she quickly regained her composure once more.She had already heard from Larry and the others that this woman was probably Harvey’s backer. Although she was surprised, she wasn’t completely shocked.She stared enviously at Yona’s beautiful, youthful visage and remarked coldly, “I was wondering who’s actually acting pretentiously?”“Turns out it’s Miss Yona Lynch, known as the number one socialite in Mordu’s upper circles!”“You may be a huge celebrity, Miss Lynch, but frankly speaking, you’re just Benjamin Lynch’s glorified secretary.”“Browsing documents, arranging the itinerary, even serving tea and washing the lavatories… these are your specialties.”“Tasks like upholding the justice of the law, arresting and interrogating people are certainly out of your league!”“You’re just a secretary. You don’t have any jurisdiction over me!”“For Benjamin’s sake, I won’t hold you accountable for obstructing
“Of course.” Yona’s expression remained unchanged.Elisa said with a half-smile, “Beating Fred like this, letting Mr. Chambers suffer huge losses, and even ruining Prince Patel’s plaque…”“I’m afraid you won’t be able to protect him with just your name, Yona.”“Then how about adding my name, Benjamin Lync, into the mix? Is that enough, Elisa?”At that moment, a majestic voice filled the air.Benjamin strode in, accompanied by his secretary and bodyguard.Benjamin Lynch?!Elisa’s face instantly turned pale the moment she saw him.As for Larry and the rest, their complexions also changed again and again.Against Yona, Elisa still dared to be arrogant and domineering, even going as far as to give scathing comments. But facing the far more superior Benjamin, she didn’t even dare let out a fart. Benjamin walked to Elisa and said indifferently, “Brother York is my guest. He’s also my savior.”“But, I have respect for the law. If you can show me evidence of Brother York violati
“Director Jean?”Benjamin was indifferent. “She wasn’t the Director before, and she won’t have the chance to be the Director in the future.”“From now on, she is not the Deputy Director anymore.”Benjamin only needed to say one sentence to get rid of the evil Elisa.“Rubbish!”The female star who just spoke was dissatisfied. “Director Jean isn’t just the Deputy Director of Mordu Police Station!”“She’s also a member of the Jean family of Mordu!”“Do you really think you can do anything to her?”This female star had become popular only recently. Her status in the entertainment industry was about the same as Fred’s.Seeing her idol Elisa n beaten and threatened by the other party into losing her title, the female star was deeply unhappy.Benjamin took the handkerchief his secretary handed to him and slowly wiped his fingers. At the same time, he said indifferently, “Then you should ask Elisa and see if the Jeans can protect her.”“Shut up!”Elisa quickly stood back up and s
Elisa’s complexion became extremely awful after hearing Benjamin’s words.She knew very well that if Benjamin had already said that, then her future and wealth were ruined.The Jeans would never stand up and speak for her.After all, she was originally a collateral member of the Jean family. She was not a direct descendant.Thinking of this, Elisa felt dizzy. She subconsciously glared at Larry, wishing to choke him to death at this very instant.He was the one who dragged her into this mess today! Otherwise, would this have happened to her?Fred covered his face, his complexion awful. Even Elisa was suppressed, so how could a small filmmaker like him survive?Only Larry could maintain a certain degree of calmness.However, he also knew what happened would certainly cause him and Elias a lot of trouble.He might have to give the Jean family of Mordu an explanation.Elias would also find him incapable and drive him out.Thinking of this, Larry could only toughen himself and sa
“Consequences?!”Benjamin remained indifferent.“Then I’d like to see them.”He glanced at Yona and said lightly, “Yona, inform all the companies and groups under the Lynch family of Sunan to terminate all cooperation with Hengdian World Studios.”“Tell the public that I have a problem with Elisa Jean having no respect for the law.”“Whoever dares to get along with them will be considered my enemy!”“I’m going to let you know how it would get back to you, and how serious the consequences are.”“Yes!” Yona quickly responded. In front of everyone, she began dialing several numbers. As Yona made the calls one by one, Elisa, Larry, and the rest of their posse looked extremely wretched.They never imagined that they would meet their defeat today.Not only did Benjamin come to help Harvey, but he also went all out to support Harvey.Even if they were backed by Elias and the Jeans of Mordu, they would still suffer major losses.“York, do you want to see Mordu’s big shots fight ea
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
