As Hector and Sakura were busy acting intimate, Harvey tossed his bank card motionlessly.Just then, Tyson spoke up from the side.“Sir York, why did we hand them the Longevity Elixir?”“If that thing really is as godly as you say, we could’ve kept it for ourselves!”Harvey glanced at Tyson before chuckling lightly.“Do you actually believe that such a thing exists?”Tyson froze. He wasn’t able to react properly.“If the Longevity Elixir actually worked, Ziusudra would’ve been the first immortal being in this world.”“That thing seems mysterious and all, but it’s just mercury. To put it bluntly, it’s quicksilver, a material found in thermometers. It’s just black because of the poor purification technology during ancient times.”Tyson looked mystified. Since Harvey already said so, Tyson had no reason to doubt him.If Hector found out that he had bought mercury for fifteen billion dollars, who knew how he would feel?As Harvey and Tyson continued talking, the auction continue
The crowd froze slightly after hearing Harvey’s words. Their eyes twitched frantically as they looked at Harvey with a bewildered expression.‘Does he own a treasure vault? Or can he just print money at will?’‘Fifteen billion dollars?!’‘Does he think that it’s just a hundred and fifty dollars?!’A lot of people wanted to stand up and slap Harvey at this moment.Who in the right mind would provoke someone like that?Yvonne froze as well, but a second later, she smiled. She thought Harvey would let her play for a while, but as it turned out, he immediately went for the killer move.Hector, who was previously calm and collected, and Sakura, whose face was as cold as ice, could not help but stand up.Their glare on Harvey mirrored their desire to rip him to shreds.Harvey had crossed the line!Fifteen billion dollars on the very first bid?!“Harvey York!”Sakura, who was barely able to compose herself, gritted her teeth so hard she almost broke them.Had the occasion allow
Harvey flashed Hector a faint smile, then cocked his head toward the auctioneer.“Since Young Master Thompson doesn’t want the land anymore, I don’t think there’s anyone left who can challenge me.”“Why are you still not striking the hammer?”The auctioneer froze momentarily. A second later, she returned to her senses and waved her small hammer.“Land H from Lujiazui, fifteen billion dollars from Sir York!” she exclaimed, full of excitement.“Going once!”“Going twice!”“Going thrice!”“I now announce that Sir York has successfully owned Land H from Lujiazui!”The crowd exploded into an applause as loud as thunder.No matter how Harvey would end up later on, he would surely be known everywhere because of his fight against Hector.Several wealthy women were even giving Harvey looks of interest as they thought of ways to get closer to him and acquire his money before his untimely end. Hector, who was sitting in the middle of the row, stood up and gave Harvey a look of admira
The car went up the highway, then drove back to the uban district’s Fragrant Hill villa soon after.Right as it was about to head inside the villa’s garage, the driver suddenly slowed down.George Zabel, who was sitting in the front, frowned. “Sir York, there’s something wrong. The cops have the villa completely surrounded.”“Should we go to another place to rest for now, or…?”Harvey stared at the police cars with their shimmering lights and at the inspectors running around everywhere through the car window, his eyes narrowed.Something happened inside the villa—something big!After a while, Harvey sighed.“Our dear Young Master Thompson’s acting pretty recklessly now.”“Even so, his power’s quite impressive.”“How long has it been? Half an hour? He already planned for this to happen.”“Whether he planned this beforehand or after the auction, however, is up in the air.”“If he did all this after the auction, I have to admit that he’s quite powerful.”Harvey forwarded a t
The inspector who was leading the group knocked on the car window at the back, signaling everyone to get out of the car.Harvey pushed the car door and got out while intentionally showing a confused look. “I’m a law-abiding citizen, inspector. Why are you all blocking our path, may I ask?”After glancing at the picture that was taken out before sizing up Harvey, the inspector coldly exclaimed, “Take him away!”Yvonne wanted to get out of the car, but Harvey gave her a look before questioning the inspector once more.“In this day and age, you should at least give a reason for your arrest in this day and age. Right, inspector?”“It’s not appropriate for you to just take me away with a straight face now, is it?”“Aren’t you scared of the media exposing you for bending the law as you please for your own benefit?”The inspector froze slightly at Harvey’s composure. “Harvey York, right? Do you have no idea what you have done?” The inspector asked coldly.Harvey shrugged.“I’ve b
The inspector leading the arrest didn’t expect Harvey to still be this calm despite these circumstances.He frowned slightly, then waved his hand.“Make way, let the others go!”Harvey gave Tyson a look. The car entered the garage soon after.Harvey smiled. Without doing anything reckless, he got into one of the police cars casually.Vrooooom!Soon, the cars that were escorting Harvey left.As for the Fragrant Hill, quite a few inspectors stayed to maintain order while they gathered evidence.…Three o’clock in the afternoon.Mordu Police Station’s first branch.Rachel and Aiden went inside along with several others after parking their cars. Yvonne, who was accompanied by others, was also seen walking out of the hall.Kelly, Hazel, June, and everyone else who attended the evening banquet the night before came as well.Rachel and Aiden froze after seeing the huge crowd.Rachel walked toward Yvonne and whispered, “Ms. Xavier, why did Sir York get arrested?”Naturally, Rach
Kelly frowned, then shook his head slowly.“Impossible!”“That kid likes talking big, but he has a good heart.”“There’s no way that he would force Ms. Fujihara to do anything.”Yvonne let out a sigh.“I can testify to that. Ms. Miwa came to Harvey’s room last night. She said that her shower head broke, so she wanted to shower in Harvey’s room.”“I’ve already informed the police. They’ll give Harvey a fair judgment.”“The shower head broke? You dare make up such a stupid excuse?”June shot Yvonne a mocking look. “Ms. Xavier. You may have an extraordinary identity and an immensely high status, but you have no experience in life at all!”“The villa was just bought recently! Even the furniture hasn’t been used yet. Yet you tell me that the shower head broke on the first day? Is there really such a coincidence?”“Forget myself; the police wouldn’t even believe you!”“Do you think they’re idiots or something?”Yvonne frowned at June’s words.Before, Yvonne went around to get
“A trade?”Yvonne froze, stunned. Though she knew Hector harbored evil intentions, she wasn’t able to stop herself out of care for Harvey.Hector casually lit up a thin and long cigarette, and then took a huff.“At the end of the day, Ms. Miwa’s an Islander.”“Her death may or may not be important, depending on how the Islanders want it to be.”“You know that I have a bit of connection with the Islanders. With just a single word, I can make them stop pursuing Miwa’s death any further. With that, you’ll have a chance to nullify the situation.”“Besides, I know a few people in the Mordu Police Station. If you give me half an hour, I’ll be able to make a new testimony for every single witness.”“I can even make some of the solid evidence disappear into thin air.”“The media’s gossip will disappear within half an hour as well.”“In a short amount of time, our mighty Sir York will walk out unscathed, completely capable of living out the rest of his life in luxury.”“What do you th
"I'll give you ten minutes to walk out of there without your clothes on! If you do that, I won't kill anymore of your bodyguards. If you're still not here in ten minutes, then I'm sorry, but the flames will consume you. I'll remember to visit you at your grave next year!" Sora laughed strangely after that.Everyone who heard his laughter could only feel a chill in their bones as they felt disgusted. Mandy's expression became even darker. She did not refuse him immediately, though. While she knew he was playing a game of cat and mouse, those ten minutes might just be enough to save them.-At the same time. Outside of the manor. Sora and his group of confidantes had already arrived at the entrance of the manor. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the terrace. After he waved his hands, his confidante spread out and sealed the remaining entrances.Next to Sora was a swordsman with a mustache. His eyes were full of spirit. It was obvious that he was an elite, the kind who could crush al
"Watch out!" It was at this time when Seven suddenly pulled Mandy over to the side, as his expression darkened. At the same time, one of the pieces of ballistic glass shook and fell on the floor. Then, bolts that seemed like rain stormed into the terrace, falling right where Mandy was standing.If it was not because of Seven's quick actions, Mandy might have already become a human pincushion. She was immediately covered in cold sweat. While she had personally grown and become a successful businesswoman, she had never been in many of these kinds of life and death situations.Whoosh!It was as if the people outside had noticed an opening, they continuously fired the Repeating Crossbow. As they did that, one of the bodyguards who could not dodge in time collapsed on the ground as he held his thigh. A bolt pierced through his thigh, and he immediately lost his ability to fight.Mandy quickly said, "Quick! Drag him over! It's too dangerous over there!"The two bodyguards trembled, and
"Ms. Mandy, you should run now! Run from the back! I can still hold them up for about 15 minutes!" Seven said in a bitter voice as he peeked outside from the door's gap from inside the manor. "If you don't, we won't be able to escape once they rush in. We're almost out of ammo. If we don't fight our way out, we'll all end up dead!"Mandy hesitated a little when she saw how Seven was becoming somewhat concerned and said, "Sure. We'll leave from the back door. But they're here for me. I can't escape. All of you should go and I'll cover you!"Mandy's expression was resolute. Seven was slightly stunned before saying, "Don't joke about something like that, Ms. Mandy. While I'm not one of your followers, but as a bodyguard of the Jeans of Mor'du, there's no way I can escape before you have safely retreated. If I do that, not only will I be unable to face the family, but I also won't be able to face myself and stay in this world!"All the bodyguards exchanged looks and said, "That's right,
The young man in the white suit was not that old. He was at least in his mid-twenties. However, his cheeks were somewhat red. It was obvious that years of excessive drinking and womanizing have left him too depleted for anything to be able to help him. But even then, he still looked in front with greed and obsession, as if wanting to push the woman in the manor to the ground and tear her apart.It was obvious that this man was the scion of the Origin Sword Style, Sora Yamamoto.Sora did not think much about the death of the Origin Sword Style elites. He did not even feel much about their death, as if their death had nothing to do with him."Sir, it's not that the woman is strong. It's the simple fact that no one expected her to have the Royal Flush with her… And she has plenty of it too. From the results of us testing her, the woman isn't saving the Royal Flush for something else when she had her bodyguards use them. I suspect that she had an unlimited supply of it.""You idiot!" S
"Too weak," Harvey sighed. In the next instant, he lifted his right foot and planted it on a broken piece of rock. Instantly, the rock shot out and headed straight to Sverker's throat. It was obvious that Harvey did not wish to leave the Origin Sword Style's number one elite alive."You fool…!" Sverker's entire soul was shuddering as he could feel Death coming for him. He let out a roar and all the energy within his body started to flow, wanting to use that to stop Harvey's attack. However, his thoughts were faster than he could act.The moment he wanted to fight back, he could feel the taste of blood in his mouth. The small rock had already pierced through his throat. In that instant, Sverker's thoughts instantly stopped as he lost the strength to struggle. Then, he collapsed on the ground just like that.There was anger, despair, and even doubt in his eyes.He could not believe that as an elite of the Origin Sword Style, as one of the few most powerful men in Sky Plane, how he en
When the palm strike was going to reach Sverker, Harvey changed his palm strike into a finger strike. He flicked his finger at the edge of the blade.Clank!"Gah!"Sverker seemed shocked as his body shook. There was even blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was in a terrible state as he took a few steps back."Mr. Sverker!" All the women cried out at the same time, with shocked expressions. They could not believe that not only did Harvey manage to easily block the legendary Three Slashes, but most importantly he was able to force Sverker some distance back with just the flick of his finger!He was beyond terrifying!"Damn you, kid! Do you think this is my full power?" Sverker's temper was at boiling point after the continuous failures as he gritted his teeth. "I will send you to Hell with all three slashes fused into one!""I better be the one sending you to Hell. I'm already bored with your sword technique," replied Harvey casually. Before Sverker could even attack,
"Your life is worth so little and you want to drag us along to hell? Who do you think you are? All of you are just the same! Selfish to the core!" the woman yelled at Harvey. It was clear that no matter what Harvey did, she wouldn't like it.Harvey glanced at her and said, "We can forget a moment about how your Mr. Sverker is the one who wanted to die alongside me out of shame and anger, let's talk about you. Who else can you blame but yourself by wasting time here instead of running? Not to mention, he can't do anything to me even if he can slash time and the universe."You have overestimated Sverker. He's nothing but trash. I simply wanted to see how powerful the Sword Style Origin's technique is." Harvey then gave Sverker a look. "But at this level, I can easily dispel it with just one strike.""You…" Sverker was so angry that he shuddered. He wasn't going to waste any more time. He gritted his teeth and once again slashed at where Harvey was standing."Timely Slash!"A
"Is that right?" Harvey asked the woman.He looked at Sverker's dark expression."Oh, he's being that nice? Why not give me a few more concessions? Why don't you go easy on me and miss all three slashes?""Damn you! Damn you all!" Sverker's expression turned dark by Harvey's snickering. He pounced forward again. In just an instant, he already appeared before Harvey. His body suddenly swayed and separated into eight afterimages; all of them instantly slashed from all eight directions."Earthly Slash!"Whoosh!As Sverker made that attack, a screeching sound filled the entire marsh. Sverker attacked Harvey like a flash of lightning. The moment the blade almost reached Harvey, a dreadful aura expanded from it, as if a black light was covering the surface of the blade.The attack seemed to have come from the depths of Hell itself, carrying the wrath of countless ghosts.Harvey's expression was cold as his fist turned into a palm strike, and he attacked straight ahead. His attack w
"Idiot!" Sverker smiled coldly as his figure flashed as he pounced forth like a bolt of lightning. The sword in his hand was immediately pulled out from its sheath, like a shooting star across the sky.Compared to the attack just now, this attack was simply and much more direct. There wasn't even much strength behind it. However, those in the know would know that an attack like this was the most powerful.Sverker believed he could easily kill Harvey on the spot."So what if you defeated all the six schools? So what if you defeated all the prodigies from Country I? So what if you defeated Mark?" Sverker smiled coldly as he attacked. "All the so-called True Warriors were joking to me… Because I am the one who kills True Warriors!" Sverker smiled coldly as he unleashed his first strike."Heavenly Slash!" A scarlet light suddenly flashed through Sverker's blade. Harvey raised his head; the attack that was going to split the sky had arrived. Before the blade even reached h
