Kaitlyn Parson repeatedly lamented, apparently not expecting a grassroots who had just risen recently would be fearless of death.Did he not know that even the second and third generations sometimes needed to behave in their circle?Acting arrogantly and showing no respect might have offended people that they should not and would end badly.Just as she was lamenting, her phone suddenly vibrated intensely.She glanced at it and quickly answered the call. She then showed a surprised look on her face.“That old man, Morgan Johnson, didn’t step forward to welcome Harvey York.“Instead, he finds an excuse to leave after bringing Harvey to Emerald House.“He even let Irene Johnson keep him company. He is planning to sell his granddaughter out!“Could it be that Morgan is trying to be friends with Harvey?!”Kaitlyn looked worried when she said this.If Morgan had a connection with Harvey, then Harvey’s power in Hong Kong and Las Vegas would be greater.This was certainly not a good
Although Irene Johnson was the eldest young lady of the Johnsons, she rarely came to eat at the Emerald House.Now that her group of friends were here, this hugely satisfied her ego.She also did not seek Harvey York’s opinion at this moment. Instead, she quickly picked up the tablet on the table and started ordering.After that, Irene started chatting with her group of friends.Harvey stayed quiet while looking at this scene.Even though Morgan Johnson wanted to set these two up, Harvey had no interest in such a little girl.However, he would only leave after having the meal since he had already come here.Harvey did not say anything. As for Irene, her eyes occasionally fell on Harvey, including the few besties, and they were also looking at Harvey.After all, Branch Leader Johnson set him up with Irene. Hence, there must be something special about him, right?The few guys thought Harvey was awed by the luxurious Emerald House after seeing Harvey being extremely quiet. Sudden
“Manager Anderson, what’s the matter? We’ve ordered since half an hour ago, and the appetizers haven’t even been served yet?“Are you mocking me?”Rupert Howell, who was eager to perform, stood up, showing the Omega Speedmaster on his wrist on the one hand, and swinging the BMW car keys on the other, and said condescendingly.“Dear young masters and ladies, good evening.”Mabel Anderson slightly smiled, but she did not even glance at Rupert. Instead, her eyes fell on Irene Johnson in the end after looking around the place. She smiled and said, “I’m so sorry, everyone.“I was just informed that this Heavenly Box has been booked by someone else.“Moreover, there aren’t any other rooms available at this moment. Could you please enjoy your meal in the hall?“I’ve arranged a table for you beside the restroom.“To show my sincerity, we’ll offer you a twenty percent discount for this meal.”Mabel smiled at this moment and said her purpose calmly.“Someone booked it?”Rupert was dis
Rupert Howell, who was still furious just now, suddenly became timid after hearing the two words, Kaitlyn Parson. He immediately sat down awkwardly, lowered his head, and did not even dare to speak any further.As for the other second generations, they exchanged glances with each other and did not know what to do.Kaitlyn Parson, not only was she the eldest young lady of one of the four top-class families in Hong Kong, the Parsons…It was also said that she was very close to Young Lord York of the Yorks of Hong Kong and Las Vegas, Vince York.Offending Kaitlyn was equivalent to offending Vince!The second generations there immediately chickened out after hearing Vince’s name. They did not even dare to offend him.“Ms. Johnson, now that you know Ms. Parson is coming, you should know what to do, right?”Mabel Anderson put up a meaningful smile and looked at Irene Johnson.“If there isn’t any problem, you may move to the table beside the restroom in the hall.“I’ll let someone se
Irene Johnson slapped her repeatedly to vent her anger, bruising Mabel Anderson’s face, and she kept screaming.“Is it because the Johnsons have always maintained a low profile these years? So, do you people think that you could casually insult the Johnsons?!“Is it because my grandfather is too kind? And that makes you think that we have no authority?!“Is it because you think you could cling onto the other masters, so you don’t have to respect us?!”Slap!“Get lost!”Irene’s last slap sent Mabel flying. “I’ll give you a chance. Pack your things and get out.“I’ll kill you the next time I see you in the Emerald House!”Mabel’s hair was messy, and her face was swollen. She no longer had the arrogance when she first entered the room.She was only left with unspeakable misery and embarrassment.Harvey felt indifferent. Instead, he just stared at Irene in admiration.As the eldest granddaughter of Branch Leader Johnson, if she acted cowardly, Harvey would instantly despise her.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Irene Johnson, what are you talking about?“Have you forgotten that the Johnsons only hold thirty percent of shares of the Emerald House!?“And we, the Parsons, hold forty percent of the shares!”Kaitlyn Parson brought her people and walked before Irene. She sized her up carefully and said indifferently, “In short, the Parsons are the true owners of the Emerald House!“Manager Anderson is the manager we hired!“Is she someone you can hit, insult, or even ask to leave?”Mabel Anderson instantly put up a condescending and complacent look on her bruised face when she heard those words.Apparently, she thought she could suppress Irene with Kaitlyn’s support.“You, the Parsons, are the owner?” Irene sneered, “Kaitlyn, I suggest you’d better go see a doctor first and let the doctor check your brain. You can come out again after that!“In case you become a shame right now and disgrace the Parsons!“Don’t forget that we’ve made things clear back when we transferred th
“Moreover, the Johnsons didn’t care about the affairs of the Emerald House over the years. And still, wanting to get the dividend of the thirty percent shares every year when you have done practically nothing?“I think you, the Johnsons, are taking this awfully easy!“Let me enlighten you. The dividends that belong to you are all in our hands!“Paying you fifteen thousand dollars every year is already doing you a favor!“If you are unconvinced, you can report to the police and sue us. I want to see who would suffer the humiliation as the matter escalates!”Kaitlyn Parson looked serious.“Really? So, the dividends that belong to the Johnsons over the years are in the hands of the Parsons?”Irene Johnson was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said, “Then we truly have to thank you for helping us keep the money.“How about this? I’ll just charge a ten percent interest on the fee every year.“No matter how much money you’ve kept for us over the years, you’ll have to add a ten perc
The entire place fell silent.Who would have thought that the quiet Irene Johnson would become so intimidating when she was angry.Kaitlyn Parson glanced indifferently at Harvey York and then said coldly, “Okay, you’re treating him to a meal, right?“I’ll make someone drive him out. Then, you won’t have to entertain him, correct?”Kaitlyn sneered and clapped her hands while talking.Suddenly, the few towering bodyguards came forward, and a cold killing intent instantly spread out.King of Arms!They were the true Kings of Arms!They were specially sent to Kaitlyn by Vince York.Frankly speaking, all these matters about the Heavenly Box, setting up a table beside the restroom, and conflict with the Johnsons were all just a prelude.Things that happened today were all aimed at Harvey.Meanwhile, Vince also intended to test Morgan Johnson.He wanted to see whether Branch Leader Johnson of the Dragon Palace’s branch would really side with Harvey or if he was just faking it.“M
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
