Harvey took out his mobile phone, still indifferent. Then he looked at Sharon and said lazily, “Since you’ve begged me, wouldn’t it be disrespectful if I don’t do it?”He scrolled through his phone and found a number that he hadn’t dialed for years. He then placed the call.The phone rang three times, and the other party quickly picked up. A lovely female voice spoke, bearing a tone of pleasant surprise, “My dear York, you’ve finally called me!”“Are you going to accept my marriage proposal?”“Victoria,” Harvey said, his tone aloof. “I called you today because there’s something I need your help with.”“There’s a person named Sharon Pearl from the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. She mentioned that she was the forty-ninth successor to the throne, and has a terrible personality.”“Her existence will affect our friendship and the diplomatic relations between the great Country H and the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.”“Please help me handle this.”Harvey instantly hung up the
Murphy and the others got furious when they saw Harvey take Leslie’s arm as he left.None of them expected Sharon to actually be delisted from the royal family of the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets!Moreover, it was done with just a phone call!The foreigners were especially flustered. They knew how the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets operated very well, thus, they felt fear.They had a hard time breathing after seeing a mere man making one simple phone call to delist a Lady from the royal family.How did that man, Harvey, do it?Turning the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets upside down with just a phone call?What a joke!“Sharon, stop thinking nonsense. That information might not be true!”After pondering for a moment, Murphy said, “He’s just a commoner. How could he influence the honorable royal family of the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets?”“Based on the information I’ve obtained, he had never been overseas before! He didn’t even know what a proper civilization is
“Alright! I shall believe in your ability!”“Evans, you mentioned that the Evans are the king of Hong Kong. I’ll testify to it myself!”Sharon was very satisfied with Murphy’s brown-nosing, and gave an imperious nod filled with arrogance. “Oh, right. We must get that thing that the royal family desires at the auction tonight!”“As long as that item is offered to the Queen, I can instantly regain my royalty. I might even be able to move forward in line to the throne!”Murphy looked excited. “Sharon, don’t worry. I’ll definitely get it!”He thought that if Sharon was able to regain her royalty and moved forward in line to the throne, then he would also be one step closer to the throne after he married her.Thus, he was very proactive. Bang, bang! He patted his chest and exclaimed loudly, “I’m quite close with the organizer of the auction! They will certainly do me a favor!”“We’ll surely get that item at the lowest price!”In actuality, Murphy was clueless about the value of
Akio stood behind the forbidden area of the Five Virtues Temple with a wretched expression while he pressed the wound on his stomach with his hand.He swallowed a pill and crawled his way to the edge of the cliff. Then, he looked below with a telescope.His face lost a bit of color before he sighed in annoyance.“Teal left this kid alive…” he muttered to himself.“As expected of a kept man! Women just don’t have the heart to kill him!”Akio stood up, wanting to clean up his tracks before leaving.As soon as he rose, a quiet snap could be heard from behind.Realizing this, he quickly bandaged his wound and turned around and brandished his sword.Time passed bit by bit. The air grew colder and colder.Only a minute had passed, but it felt like an eternity.After a long while, an elderly man emerged from the forest slowly, his arms crossed.His imposing aura filled the air, but he remained emotionless. A murderous intent could be felt as he glared daggers at Akio.Akio stared
However, Harvey frowned after listening to her words. “They even auctioned the national quintessence and the martial arts of the great Country H.”“Didn’t the Five Virtues Temple overdo it?”Leslie sighed. “That’s the clever part. The book of martial arts they took out only existed in legends in the past, and didn’t have any successor.”“Thus, no one could prove to whom it belongs to. They could only imply that it belongs to the Five Virtues Temple!”“Since they are auctioning their items, they could sell them to anyone. Who else could control them?”Harvey nodded, but his eyes turned cold.Promoting the culture of the great Country H overseas was a good thing.However, selling the quintessence of the great Country H out crossed Harvey’s bottom line.Leslie didn’t notice the slight coldness in Harvey’s eyes. She continued casually, “These are the reasons why this auction could attract a lot of big shots from all over the world every year!”“There are only three to five hundred
The invitation card for the Don family seemed to be neglected, as they were given the worst seats.Apparently, there were too many nobles from the upper circle of Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Although the Don family was a first-class family and were the Governors, they were still regarded as the misfits in the two cities where the capital was oriented.The Hamiltons and the Mendozas should have sent their representatives here too. However, there were too many people and Harvey couldn’t find them, so he didn’t go over to greet them.Nonetheless, Murphy and Sharon were still talking happily and loudly even after they were seated at the very center of the place. One couldn’t be sure if it was intentional or otherwise.They were seated near the middle, so everyone could easily see them.Harvey looked at this cheating couple with indifference.He wondered what kind of item was able to get the attention of the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Harvey then looked through the catalog in h
At present, no one else could figure out to whom the long sword exactly belonged.It looked quite broken, and didn’t seem to hold much value as a collection item either. After taking a closer look, many of the wealthy customers felt that the long sword wasn’t worth bidding.Especially when the starting price was 1.5 million dollars.Right then, Harvey could feel Sharon trembling in her seat. She was looking at the long sword with a passionate gaze, as if she was looking at her own father.Harvey immediately understood: she knew full well whom the long sword belonged to.In the end, this was to be expected. If anyone knew that Country H’s living legend used this sword before, countless people would stop at nothing to get their hands on it.It’d be better if the long sword didn’t end up with anyone else.Without hesitating, Harvey tapped on Leslie’s shoulder.“We’ll buy this.”Leslie glanced at Harvey, full of curiosity. She didn’t know why Harvey wanted the item, but she wast
In less than minutes, an intense auction took place. Now, everyone knew exactly how much the sword was worth.Several rounds of bidding later, Sharon stood up with clenched teeth.“Three hundred million dollars! I’ll buy it with three hundred million dollars!”“Whoever dares to fight me for it will be going against The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets!”When everyone heard that name, the entire crowd fell dead silent.The tycoons from the middle east and the Northern Europe princes who were among the crowd frowned. If Sharon only represented herself in the auction, it would’ve been fine to bid against her.But if she came in place of the royal family from The Empire of the Sun that Never Set, then doing so would land them in hot water.Everyone was aware how troublesome the eldest princess of the family could be.Forming a grudge against The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets for some broken saber wasn’t worth the effort, even if it was the weapon that once belonged to the He
