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
Ahead, a freezing aura could be felt, colder than anything…The cold was such that the room seemed to have plunged into ice. It was enough to make anyone shiver. All around Harvey, many people were lying flat on the ground in the courtyard. They were barely alive. They looked utterly wretched and woebegone, they were still stubbornly clinging onto their dear lives.Harvey squinted his eyes as he scrutinized them. They seemed to be struggling to crawl out of the ancestral hall, but were all stopped when they were just a step away.As Harvey was busy investigating the situation and trying to find out what was actually going on, a weak voice called out to him from some distance away.“S-Sir York…”Harvey immediately glanced at the corner of the room. Fabian was lying on the wall on his back, looking completely woebegone. There were several corpses around him, many of which looked like they had been shot dead. Harvey walked over and asked in a low voice, “How did you end up like
At the backyard, Harvey was engaged in a fight with an opponent.Harvey’s movements were lightning fast. With just a single punch, his opponent immediately fell to the ground and let out a furious howl of pain, face twisted in agony. Harvey, however, did not stop there. He put a foot forward and crushed the man’s leg instantly until a spine-chilling crack resounded. Crack!The sound of bones cracking horribly filled the air.“Aaagh!”His opponent let out another yowl of pain before finally revealing his appearance. He was a dark-skinned man clad in an attire from Nanyang. His face resembled a monkey, and a terribly putrid stench was emanating from his body. He struggled to escape Harvey’s grasp, all the while screaming in broken Chinese.“Dammit! Damn you!”“You son of a b*tch! How dare you ruin my business?!”“Let me go right now!”“If not, I’ll curse your entire family!”Despite having been soundly defeated by Harvey, the Nanyang man remained arrogant and fierce, un
Harvey stared into Fabian’s eyes, rather stunned.‘How ruthless!’This seemingly gentle old fox’s merciless side was something Harvey never expected. However, Harvey understood that Fabian pulling the trigger was not because he lacked compassion, but to display his devotion towards Harvey. Killing a small fry like Brandon didn’t amount to much in Harvey’s eyes, but Fabian’s decisiveness was quite satisfying for Harvey. “Not bad.”Harvey patted Fabian’s shoulder, filled with admiration.“Since you’re being so sincere, I’ll have to do the same.”“Burn down the ancestral hall before daylight. Then, get an excavator here. I’ll fix all of your problems after that.”Fabian was stunned and froze, terrified. Had he not acted the way he did, or perhaps betrayed Harvey out of fear, he would’ve died without even knowing the reason.And so, Fabian gulped down a mouthful of saliva and nodded enthusiastically.“I’ll listen to your orders, Sir York.”At this moment, he had complete tr
Harvey had no intention to stay in the Hamilton Residence any longer after he had finished dealing with their ghost problem.There was no need for Harvey to exert any extra effort to deal with Jon, Scarlett, or their goons. With the way Fabian worked, Harvey was certain that the former would make them all pay dearly.Besides, Harvey had already figured out that both Jon and Scarlett were working for Vince.Whether Jon and Scarlett could remain living or be killed ruthlessly by Fabian, both would now be a thorn that disrupted Vince’s relationship with the Hamiltons.Harvey had no intention to deal with that thorn. Rather, he wanted it to hurt both parties deeper.…It was almost noon when Harvey left the Hamilton Residence.Yoana parked her Ferrari 488 in front of the Hamilton Residence. When she saw that Harvey was nowhere to be seen, she simply waited patiently. By now, all the yin energy shrouding the place had disappeared. The place was brimming full of life, just like a tr
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
