Harvey York knew how Mandy Zimmer would behave in that situation. When Harvey was about to explain himself, Hector Thompson was already walking toward everyone with his arms crossed after hanging up his call.Sparks seemed to flicker in the air when Harvey and Hector locked eyes for a moment.After seeing such a tall and handsome man with a temperament of an upperclassman, Harvey immediately understood why Lilian would be interested in her new son-in-law.She would surely benefit more from Hector than Harvey, judging from the outside.“What a small world, Sir York.”Hector squinted as he glared at Harvey, then showed a warm smile.“How have you been? I haven’t seen you since the auction.”“I’ve been good. Lujiazui’s Land H is about to be in construction soon,” replied Harvey calmly.“Speaking of which, I must thank you for this.”Hector’s eyes twitched after hearing Harvey’s words.“I’m having a date with Ms. Zimmer tonight. If you have nothing else to do, would you like to j
Harvey York, Mandy Zimmer, and Xynthia Zimmer were the only ones left in the place.Harvey quickly held his feelings back and showed Mandy a warm smile.“You still care about me after all, Mandy.”He reached out and held Mandy’s hand.It was normal for couples to fight after not seeing each other for a long while anyway.Xynthia’s face turned as dark as night after seeing the sight. She immediately pulled both their hands apart with an angry look on her face.“What?! What?! Brother-In-Law, how dare you touch my sister even before explaining anything?!” she exclaimed furiously.“Even if my sister forgives you…“I will never!”Xynthia threw a stack of documents on the table.Harvey’s eyes frantically twitched after looking at the contents.It was unknown as to who took the pictures, but most of them showed Kait Walker resting on Harvey’s chest in a car. It was an extremely dangerous situation then.But after taking that fact out of context, even anyone would think that Kait a
Right when Harvey York was starting to get agitated, a Toyota Century drove right in front of Hector Thompson outside the Mordu Broadway while slowly opening the car doors from both sides.A withered yellow leaf landed right in front of Hector after a gust of wind blew.An emotionless voice then echoed.“The wind died down. It’s time for Harvey to do the same.”***The staff from Mordu Broadway were all gone as if no one was aware of such a thing happening.Right when Mandy Zimmer was about to say something, her eyes felt like they were about to close.Xynthia Zimmer, who was trying to mediate the situation, felt dizzy as well. She immediately fell on the edge of the table, unconscious.Mandy was frightened. Before she was about to say something, a puff of black smoke instantly appeared on her face, paralyzing her to the ground.“She’s poisoned?!”Harvey’s eyes twitched frantically. It was good that he brought along Oskar Armstrong’s Detox Pill and All-Cure Medicine with him.
Ding!Right when Harvey York calmed himself down, his phone rang again.Rachel Hardy’s voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.“Branch Leader, something’s wrong. Half an hour ago, Ms. Walker’s car was hijacked. The guards in her car were all dead. I only got word about this just now.”Harvey was shocked.“What? Aren’t the Longmen disciples protecting her?”“All of them died. Judging from how they died, they must’ve gone up against a strong opponent. They didn’t even get the chance to retaliate,” replied Rachel with a quiet tone.“It’s my fault, Branch Leader. I didn’t look after Ms. Walker properly.”Harvey took a deep breath and regained his composure.“Tell Tyson Woods to make sure Yvonne Xavier’s safe!” Harvey swiftly gave out the order.“Get Longmen to protect my parents-in-law.“Send a group of elites to the Mordu Broadway.”Harvey’s anxious mind was slightly calmer than before with a string of orders.It was his first time feeling fear against this all
Taro Akano showed a calm expression as if he was playing cat and mouse game.“The high and mighty legend of Country H’s military force, a living myth, is not that great after all!“Young Master Thompson overestimates you!“Even though your previous achievements on the battlefield have made me see you as a monster, none of this has meaning any longer.“If I kill you right now, there will be nothing left.“The legend of Country H will be gone forever!“The Island Nations will rise again, and no one will be able to stop us!”“As expected from the finest sword of Mordu’s Shindan Way. I guess I severely underestimated you.”Harvey York grinned with the corners of his mouth.“You really are shameless, using my wife and sister-in-law as pawns to deal with me like that.”“You are mistaken, dear Chief Instructor.“Other than these two women, we also brought another one here.”A projector lit up in the hall at this moment, and Sakura Miyamoto was seen on the screen.The place seemed
“If you even touch any of them, I’ll make you and the people of the Shindan Way’s lives a living hell!”“Even Hector Thompson has to pay the price!”Sakura Miyamoto showed a worried expression on her face while tapping her perking chest.“How terrifying! I’m so scared!“What shall I do?“Maybe I should just think of a way to relieve my tension!”Sakura then swung her backhand across Kait Walker’s face.With the sound of a loud slap, Kait’s beautiful face showed a red palm print.Kait was wide awake after being slapped. She spat out all the cloth that was stuffed in her mouth before she quietly said, “Please. Don’t mind me, Harvey York…”Slap!Kait couldn’t even speak properly after getting slapped in the face one more time.“Oh, my! What an affectionate scene! I’m so touched!“Even TV shows wouldn’t dare do something like this!“It’s a shame that this isn’t one.”“You’re dead, Sakura.”Harvey’s face was as dark as night.“I’m fine, Harvey. Nothing bad will happen to me.
Swooosh!The blade with a blue glow was swung forward without any hesitation.The Zephyr Slash was pulled off once again!It was a simple and straightforward cut but packed with massive damage!“Your swordsmanship has already been perfected, Mr. Akano. If you manage to kill this man, you shall be crowned as the Shindan Way’s Sword Saint!” Sakura Miyamoto calmly said while admiring the battle.Taro Akano’s courage increased exponentially. The blade in his hand was filled with a menacing aura.Harvey York calmly dodged to the rear. He did not try to block the attack this time.But doing so had made Taro completely fearless. He leaped forward in an instant as he kept swinging his sword at terrifying speeds.Swish swish swish!Cross Slash!The sword in Taro’s hand was vibrating violently. A cross was formed mid-air, blocking Harvey’s escape route.At the same time, Taro pounced forward as if he were a savage monster, suppressing Harvey with the threatening glow of his blade.Sa
Harvey York dodged backward while mentally counting time.Boom!The cut landed right on the exquisite piano behind Harvey, splitting it in half.“Bastard!”Taro Akano’s expression completely worsened after seeing that none of his attacks even scraped Harvey.Right at this moment, Harvey’s phone rang. He took a glance at his phone with a nonchalant expression, then calmly said, “Game over, Taro.“I’ll give you a chance. Give me the medicine and kneel, then start talking.”“Kneel, then start talking?”Taro was utterly enraged.“Do you really think that you’re still the invincible Chief Instructor, Harvey?” exclaimed Taro while coldly chuckling.“In my eyes, you’re just an arrow at the end of your flight!“Besides, us Island Nation Swordsmen don’t allow ourselves to be humiliated!“Now, let me show you my true killer move!”Taro unsheathed his short sword with his left hand and pounced forward.Both swords were swung forward, effectively blocking Harvey’s escape path.Slap!
Blade frowned and said nothing when he heard Harvey's teasing. Not far away came the sound of spotlights being turned on. Giant spotlights immediately focused on their location from all around them, turning the place as bright as day. The Enforcer Division who just got out of the car narrowed their eyes, trying to adjust to the light."You're smart, and you're quite perceptive as well." At this time, one of the doors on the giant stone gate from not far away slid open, and dozens of figures appeared. The one leading them was a woman wearing a traditional garb, a fan in her hand.She looked like a seductress. Her eyes were filled with charm, and even just a glance from her was quite seductive. All the men and women behind her were wearing uniforms, bearing a stern expression. "Unfortunately, smart people normally don't last long here," the woman continued with a smile. Harvey shrugged. "I haven't asked you what this place is yet."The woman kept smiling. "Our place was quite
The atmosphere within the car fell into absolute silence. Blade extended his head and opened the sunroof, allowing the fresh air to enter the car. He took in the fresh air, but no one could tell his thoughts.Harvey smiled as he once again closed his eyes and rested. To him, the destination for this journey meant nothing.Very quickly, the car drove until night. During this journey, the car stopped three times. They would always rest, have a meal, and get a toilet break at a temporary supply base that had been established beforehand. Blade had maintained his silence and said nothing.As for Harvey, it was life as usual for him. He would eat when he was supposed to and sleep when he had time to. It was so that everyone could maintain their energy.Harvey even took a hot shower in one of the supply bases and got to wash his clothes. The members of the Enforcement Division that kept watch over him looked at him strangely. It was obvious it was their first time meeting a criminal lik
Blade was slightly stunned when he heard it and took in a deep breath, as if he was suppressing something he was feeling. Then, he said slowly, "The Grand City is also called the Grand City that Didn't Belong to the World. Those from the Grand City had been called many names. Wizards, alchemists, immortals… In a place like ours, we have rules and laws coming from bygone eras. After existing for so long, people from our city understand that only by following these rules and laws will we be able to protect the Grand City."Harvey smiled. "So, to you, even if you know the order you're going to execute is wrong, you'll still do it no matter the cost, right?""It's easy for one person to make a mistake," Blade said. "It's even easier for someone to make a mistake when one speculates. This is an order that was made based on the rules and regulations. The chances of it being a mistake are very low…"Even if I have some thoughts, I'd rather do as I'm ordered by Grand City. As for whether
Half an hour later, Harvey got into the back seat of a Range Rover after he packed a few sets of clothes. During this time, not only did he have to console Yvonne not to do something rash, but he also had to arrange for something else. He even had the time to order some pasta through delivery.While he still didn't know what Grand City had prepared for him, he knew that he should get ready. He had to give it his all this time. Grand City was not an opponent he could simply ignore.Once he was in the Range Rover, Harvey took the best seat that once belonged to Blade. He even adjusted the seat so he could sleep for a while.The next morning, Harvey woke up and downed a mouthful of carbonated water. He rubbed his eyes and looked around him from the car window. The car was already driving through an ancient forest. But because the car's performance was just that excellent, he felt like he had been driving on flat land.After taking a look, Harvey looked at Blade next to him. Blade's
"It's alright, Yvonne. Don't get mad. If you get angry because of something like this, then you've lost," Harvey said as he shook his head. He stopped Yvonne, who was on the verge of exploding."The people from Grand City have a way of doing things due to how they believe that they're better than everyone else. Not following their laws would ruin their reputation, so I'll go with them," Harvey said as he narrowed his eyes.He knew very well that this was a plot against him. It wasn't just about Durandal's death, it was also because he had offended Dan. The day Harvey became the representative, someone had already plotted against him. For everyone's sake, Harvey decided to make a move.While he wasn't afraid of Grand City, it didn't mean that everyone else wasn't fearless of Grand City either."Don't be rash…" Yvonne said, shivering. Harvey patted her hand a while and then looked at Blade's cold expression with great interest. "I can tell that you're not someone who lies and y
"Firearms?" Blade smiled coldly when he saw this, and looked at Yvonne with a sneer. "There's something you probably didn't know, girl. All of my followers here are martial arts elites, and they're wearing the silk armor that Grand City produced. This armor makes them untouchable by blades or the elements. If you don't do anything rash, it's fine. But if you do, your men will die. Here's my advice. Don't get all of them killed just because of one person."And then, he commanded coldly, "Do it."Eighteen elites from the Enforcement Division took a step forward when they heard his command, looking calm."I don't believe that you're not afraid of a gun!" Yvonne grabbed a gun and pointed it at Blade.However, Blade didn't react even when faced with Yvonne's madness. He simply walked over to her, held the gun in her hand, and then pointed it at his forehead. "Come on. If you don't believe it, give it a try. Pull the trigger and see if you can kill me."Yvonne's eyes widened when
"You are as well-spoken as they claim, Mr. Representative," Blade said coldly. "I wish he didn't die, since I watched him grow up. However, the fact is, he's dead. We have enough evidence to prove that you caused it. So, let's not waste our time and come with us. This is better for all of us."Yvonne's expression darkened. "Blade, is it? I don't care who you are, but my boss never lies. If he said that he didn't kill that man, then this has nothing to do with him. Don't pin the blame on someone innocent!"Blade looked at Harvey icily. "We wish that he could be innocent too. If that's the case, that's an even better reason for you to come with us. Since he's being suspected, he should come to prove his innocence at the very least."Yvonne snapped, "You think very highly of yourself! You can make anyone the suspect because you say so? You can take anyone with you because you want to? Do you know that he's also the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? In some way, he'
The security guards at the entrance finally reacted to what was happening. They started to call for reinforcements when they saw Yvonne's sportscar was stopped.The range rovers' doors were kicked open, and dozens of men and women clad in traditional Country H's garbs got out. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with a deep scar on his face. It was obvious he had survived a terrible battle against death once.He ignored all the security guards and quickly approached Harvey and Yvonne."Stop them!" Yvonne called out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Who are you? What do you want?"The security guards from Sky Corporation quickly ran over. Dozens of people had started to gather around Harvey. In terms of numbers, they were finally able at an equal level.In truth, anyone from the other side should be able to easily defeat the bodyguards from Sky Corporation. Harvey, who knew this very clearly, also opened the door and walked to Yvonne's side. He looked at th
After Harvey was done with the Ninth Branch and sent Mandy home, he left. Mandy had shown him that she cared, but there were a lot of problems between them. They didn't even have to look for it—Lilian's existence alone was a constant thorn in their eyes. Unless Lilian chose to stop being a problem, Harvey had no interest in becoming the Zimmer family's son-in-law again. After leaving the Zimmer family, Harvey wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, he went to Sky Corporation's HQ. He was surprised to see that the light in the CEO's office was still lit.Harvey arrived at the door and saw a beautiful woman still working quietly at the desk. He had just wanted to go in before hearing Yvonne's voice. It sounded like she was on a call. "Investigate it. We have to investigate this no matter what! Even if he's not going to ask about it right now, we still have to do it. What will happen if Mr. York wants to blame someone?"After that, Yvonne hung up."What happened?" Harvey asked as h
