Larry, Fred, and all of the female stars bore mocking expressions.Harvey was being far too pretentious! He actually saw himself as someone amazing. An insignificant security guard actually wanted to take action against Hengdian World Studios himself?Was he out of his mind?Wasn’t Benjamin who was in front of them his largest backer?Without Benjamin, what could Harvey do?Only Benjamin and Yona showed great interest.Both were well aware of Harvey’s abilities, but Harvey had never shown any of it yet. If they took advantage of today's timing, they might be able to see Harvey’s true strength.Harvey didn’t respond to the sneering gazes directed at him. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed a number.“Oppress Hengdian World Studios for me.”“I hope that from now on, Hengdian World Studios’ stocks will crash.”“Their reputation must be completely shattered.”“All artists and actors under the Hengdian World Studios will be hated by everyone.”Harvey casually hung up the
“What?!”Larry’s body trembled all over after hearing Fred’s words. He subconsciously stammered, “How is this possible?!”The other female stars were also shocked. Their eyelids twitched wildly when they looked at Harvey.No one imagined that Harvey could trample Hengdian World Studios Group so quickly and so remarkably.Who the hell was this brat?How could he have such terrifying power?Creak!After a while, someone pushed open the door of the ward. The leading inspector ignored Elisa, who was present, and instantly handcuffed Larry.“Mr. Chambers. Just now, eighteen actresses reported to us at the same time that you have forced them to sleep with you.”“Please cooperate with the investigation.”“They have provided enough evidence, including the clothes, surveillance video, and so on.”“Your crime is unforgivable. Please come back with us. If you can’t explain yourself clearly, you don’t have to go out.”Looking at the warrant in the hand of this leading inspector, the co
Elias was rarely in charge of anything.Even though he was one of the Six Princes of Mordu, he was the most discreet out of them.No one would dare disrupt him while he practiced chess, piano, painting, or martial arts.Yet his phone rang while he was playing chess. This was enough to prove that a major event had taken place.Elias stood up to pick up the phone. He said calmly, “Talk.”Hearing Elias’ slightly disgruntled tone, the secretary on the other side of the phone swiftly replied, “Prince, something bad happened to Director Jean, Larry Chambers, and everyone else!”“While they were causing Harvey trouble at the hospital, Benjamin and Yona Lynch went there!”“Director Jean lost her position as a result, and Mr. Xander was even thrown into jail!”“Hengdian World Studios is also facing an unforeseen danger. If the opposing force doesn’t stop, the company might even go bankrupt.”“Other than that, I got information from the underworld to run a background check on Harvey. Tu
“Bastard!”“How dare you barge in the Center of Mordu like that?!”“You’re looking for your death!”Several security guards swarmed the place. They took the safety of their guns off and pointed them at Harvey.Behind, wails of pain could be heard.Although the guards seemed fierce, they looked at Harvey with fear in their eyes.Naturally, Harvey had already made them pay a high price while he was on the way here.Ignoring the guards, Harvey nonchalantly walked toward Elias’s chessboard and picked up a white piece. In just a single move, he had effectively sealed the black pieces to their doom.Harvey then held onto the same white piece and said calmly, “Everyone’s saying that Elias Patel himself is a hero of the generation, and that he’s second to none in terms of chess.”“Now that I’m seeing it with my own eyes, it seems you’re not as good as they say.”Elias waved his hand, signalling the guards to stay back. He sized up Harvey with a smile.“Harvey York? Prince York himse
Elias shrugged and replied calmly, “What request do you have then?”Harvey said just as calmly, “Mine’s not as excessive as yours. If you lose, you’ll be my little brother from now on.”“As your big brother, I’ll be the one deciding if you can live or die.”Elias looked at Harvey with narrowed eyes for a long time. Then, he clapped his hands to signal a staff member to come forward.“Make the contract then.”A beautiful female secretary walked forward. Her face had lost all color. She started to make the so-called handover contract.The look on her face frantically changed when she read the conditions of the contract. She could not believe what she was looking at.One of the Six Princes of Mordu, Prince Patel himself, was actually making such a bet with a hillbilly from out of the sticks.However, a subordinate like her naturally had no strength to stop this from happening.After the contract was made, Elias immediately signed the contract and stamped his handprint without eve
Harvey finally got a little more serious after seeing the two fists coming straight for him. He was still standing still, but he managed to dodge Elias’s killer moves by a hair’s length by simply swaying his head left and right.Elias seemed unphased, the position of his fists going in the same direction. When he performed the Cloud Step, both of his fists changed angles drastically, heading straight toward Harvey’s temples the moment he was within arms’ reach.Harvey remained calm. He took half a step back and barely avoided the deadly attack.Boom!Knowing that he had the upper hand, Elias did not show any openings. Both of his fists flew out once again; this time, toward Harvey’s chest.The move was unavoidable. If the hit were to land, some bones in Harvey’s ribs would undoubtedly break.Harvey made his move, but he did not throw a punch. He pressed right on the tip of Elias’s fist with his right hand before sidestepping to the left.Even after dodging a barrage of attacks f
Bang!Elias was showing a horrible expression. With a stomp of his leg, he sent his body forward with the speed of lightning.The marble tiles on the ground displayed visible cracks from the impact of his movement.Harvey narrowed his eyes slightly.The next moment, Elias appeared right in front of Harvey. Elias bent his right hand to the shape of a claw, and then swung it right at Harvey’s face.It was the Eagle Claw Hand.Harvey’s lips were a calm smile. He threw a steady punch to counter Elias’s attack.Bang, bang, bang!Their bodies crossed each other in an instant. In the next second, Elias’s body staggered and he was immediately sent flying. After he landed on the ground, he stumbled around before he was able to stand up straight.Harvey, on the other hand, remained composed.“You lost. Remember, you’re my little brother now.”Elias frowned slightly. A split second later, his expression changed frantically.Without him realizing it, a footprint was visible on his stom
A man with slick back hair and dressed in a black suit stood outside the villa door.Before Harvey could even react, Kait already opened the door and welcomed the man inside.“Senior, you’re finally here.”“I’ve been waiting for you.”The man with slick back hair walked into the villa righteously and said, “Master told me everything that happened with his sister.”“After receiving your call today, he told me to protect you.”“I didn’t want to pester you about this, Junior. You should’ve been practicing ancient martial arts.”“If you did that, you’d at least have a place in Mordu.”“Your father wouldn’t treat you like that, either.”“Master asked me to protect you for the sake of your mother.”“You must go and thank him properly after all this blows over. He’s been shutting himself away from the world for many years now.”The man studied the villa hall with judgemental eyes. When his gaze landed on the takeaway boxes on the table, he showed slight disdain.When he saw Harvey
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
