“York, I’m warning you! Don’t be too arrogant!”“If my mother…”Before Zina could finish her sentence, her phone suddenly vibrated. Startled, she hurried to answer it. In just moments, her haughty expression fell. Right after she hung up, she burst into ugly tears. “What’s wrong?”Seeing Zina breaking down, Scarlett grew visibly nervous.Polly couldn’t die!If she did, then Vince’s plan would be in vain!Vince had promised he would let her rule Hong Kong and Las Vegas as the Young Lady of the Yorks. That is, if the plan succeeded. At this moment, Scarlett was even more anxious than the sobbing Zina. “The doctor called! They said my mother was in a critical condition, so I’d better be prepared…”“What to do? W-what should I do?”Zina’s vitriol had vanished into thin air, as if her hateful personality never existed in the first place. She was now a sobbing mess, flustered and panicky.“My mother is going to die! She’s going to die!”“No… Not my mother…”Bang!Watching
“Save them! We must hurry and find a way to save them!”Several medical staff suddenly burst into the hall, screaming, panic spelled clearly on their faces. They were shocked by the sudden turn of events. All of them automatically turned to look at Harvey, for they knew he was the only one who could save them.Harvey wiped the blood between his fingers with a tissue, aloof and calm. He gave Scarlett a hollow smile and said softly, “How many grovels for this?”Scarlett gritted her teeth, her face pale. Only seconds ago, she vowed to never kneel to Harvey again. Yet, now… Left with no choice, she dropped to her knees and groveled.The Hamiltons’ ladies and second generation children were crucial for Vince’s plans. As such, not a single hair on their head must be harmed.Scarlett could only endure the humiliation for Vince’s sake. Throwing away her reluctance, she willingly lowered herself to Harvey. In turn, Harvey kept his word. Since he had promised Scarlett, he saved the affl
Aside from the fact that Harvey had no interest in Feng Shui and that he couldn’t give two hoots about flattery… He also knew that Jon was praising him for a reason. The man bore ulterior motives, and every word spoken was just to elicit responses from Harvey. “I heard you come from China. Did you train at the legendary Mount Longhu?”“However, I’m told that the House of Priests never recruits people with common surnames. I wonder how you got in?” Jon was trying to test Harvey.The House of Priests located on Mount Longhu was the holy place of Feng Shui, renowned in the entire Great Country H.“As I’ve said, I’m not a Feng Shui master. I don’t know anything about Feng Shui.”Harvey remained stoic and taciturn. The reason his blood could dissipate evil spirits from the yin energy was because he had killed on the battlefield for many years. His killing intent was restrained after he retired, but it had been deeply integrated into his blood. As such, his blood contained special
Jon gestured at the beautiful woman who had led Harvey here.The woman smiled in understanding and promptly made a phone call. Soon, several handsome men in suits entered carrying a large suitcase each.“Open it.”Jon waved his hand, ordering them to open the suitcases. They complied instantly. Stacks of colorful banknotes were revealed to Harvey.One of the cases was full of banknotes worth one thousand HKD.The other was full of banknotes worth one hundred US dollars.The last case was full of banknotes worth one hundred Euro.The banknotes were neatly stacked, exuding the smell of brand-new ink. The scent was quite overwhelming and rendered many breathless. The men in suits were green with envy. They could never make so much money even if they worked hard their entire life. Harvey narrowed his eyes, suspicious. His gaze fell on the opened suitcases before he turned to Jon with great interest. “What is this supposed to mean, Master Surrey?”Jon pushed the case of HKD d
Harvey’s gaze was filled with amusement. He narrowed his eyes and asked Jon tentatively, “What about the last case with Euros?”Based on the exchange rate, the value of the suitcase with Euros should be the highest. Thus, the next request must be the most important one.“Interesting. You really are a smart man!”Admiration was written all over Jon’s face. He was quite taken by Harvey’s wit and shrewdness.Jon waved his hand, instantly flipping over the suitcase, letting the banknotes pile up into a hill. “This is to buy the hidden art you’ve used to suppress the evil spirits just now, as well as to have you work in the Surrey Establishment…”“Ten million Euros to buy my hidden art? Not only that, you also want me to work for you for the rest of my life?”At Jon’s words, Harvey gave Jon a half-smile that was barely a smile. Contempt rose in his gaze. He continued with a slightly derisive tone, “My! You certainly have a great plan, Master Surrey.” “Aren’t you afraid that your p
“For a Feng Shui master, there cannot be another Feng Shui master stronger than himself.”“It will only affect his status.”“You’re being so sincere while trying to recruit me, but I’m sure you’ll kill me in a heartbeat when you discover that my death will be more beneficial to you. Or am I wrong?”Jon was stunned for a moment, taken by surprise. He didn’t expect Harvey to be so shrewd and think so far ahead…However, he didn’t let his surprise show and merely smiled again. He patted Harvey’s shoulder affectionately and said loftily, “Harvey, Harvey. You’re making malicious speculations. Your words are slander against me!”“I admit, I love fame and money. But I also know what can and can’t be done!”“I’d never resort to something as terrible as murdering just for a bit of cash. Do I look like I’d do such a thing?”“You’re so young, yet how can you harbor such terrible thoughts?” Jon then retreated to his seat and took a sip of his tea. He was still smiling amiably. “Think abou
“So what?”Harvey was unmoved, his face devoid of any emotion.“Pardon me, but I still have to look at the ancestral hall to see if I can save the King of Gambling.”“If I save him, I believe he’ll give me something worth a thousand times more than your offer.”Harvey gave the scattered green notes on the ground one final glance before leaving.“Sigh…”Jon took out a cigar and casually lit it up. He blew out a puff of smoke as he watched Harvey’s disappearing back.“I gave you respect and called you by your name when I was talking to you, young man.”“Despite that, you remain arrogant just because you’re still young and spry.”“You’re forcing my hand!”“I’ll teach you a lesson right now!”“I’ll let you know what it means to anger someone out of your league!”Jon’s kind and gentle manner vanished immediately.In its place was a ferocious, haughty aura of a spurned elite. At this, Harvey turned around and narrowed his eyes at Jon in curious scrutiny. “Well, well. Are you
Bang!But Nella didn’t have the chance to hit Harvey with her sword. Before she could even swing it at him, Harvey raised his leg and slammed it on her with a powerful kick. Once again, she was sent flying and ended up smashing right into the expensive wooden shelf right behind her. The impact was so great, she was deeply injured and couldn’t even muster up the strength to crawl back up.At the same time, the peach wood sword in her hand snapped in half.Nella stared at the broken sword in disbelief, her face now filled with despair.Harvey couldn’t care less. He strode out and went past the door nonchalantly, as if nothing had happened. Soon, he reached a small crowd and saw Jon, who was holding a Feng Shui plate. Harvey made his way to the man and stood before Jon, crossing his arms.He was so quick, it caught the Surrey Establishment disciples unaware. When they realized what was happening, Harvey was already blocking Jon’s path.Jon froze slightly when he saw Harvey sta
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
