On Taiping Mountaintop, inside the Parson family’s villa.Matthew Flynn and Ellis Parson sat in front of each other with horrible looks all over their faces.Quinton York, who was sitting cross-legged while sipping his tea, sat across them.After playing with his new phone and sending a text, he then smiled faintly at Matthew and Ellis.“We’re all one of the Four Masters of Hong Kong, after all. Are you going to do business with me or not?“If you do, you’re one of ours from today onward. When I rise to power, I won’t forget about the things you’ve done.“But if you don’t, all I need to do is inform Vince York that you betrayed him.”Naturally, Quinton was the one who had sent the text to Harvey York.Matthew’s expression changed slightly after hearing Quinton’s words.“You’re threatening us using Vince?” he coldly exclaimed after some time.“Are you insane, Quinton?!“You think Vince is going to believe you?!“You’re just his lapdog!”“We’ve been his brothers for so many
At the same time, on the Huancheng Expressway, a dark red Porsche 718 was zooming at extremely high speeds, as if the car was injected with adrenaline.The driver was none other than Helena herself. Her face had lost all color and her eyes quivered constantly.She was one of Selena’s subordinates who had been lurking in the Emerald Club for many years. Her goal was to acquire as much info as possible.But just then, the moment she walked past a box, she overheard Lexie and Vince’s conversation.“Oh, Vince. You’re almost there. It won’t be long before you become the head of the family!“If that old hag takes you under her name, you’ll be able to inherit everything from that family!“Along with the property from my house, three out of five branches of the family will support you! Your position will be solidified!“Of course, when everything is done, you need to take care of that old hag immediately!“After all, she isn’t fond of you at all. If there’s another kept man that shows
A barrage of gunshots was heard, resulting in bullet holes on the Porsche.The bullets managed to miss Helena by a hair’s length.But because of her inexperience, she thought that she was just lucky.Booooom!Right at this moment, a green Toyota Prado came from the side of the road and rammed right into the back of a van.Booom!The van was immediately sent flying. After rolling on the ground for a short while, it became still again. The gunmen inside were completely decimated.The Toyota Prado did not stop there. It kept charging forward without pause.Boom boom boom!One after another, the vans were all sent flying while one of them rolled over immediately after.When the gunmen wearing black masks crawled out, the van exploded without warning.Stephen crawled out of his van with a face full of glass shards, but he seemed oddly gloomy, as if he knew that this was going to happen.When he saw Yoana in the driver’s seat and Harvey beside her, his face turned ashen.He drew
After pondering over the situation, Harvey gave Yoana a signal.He dragged Helena out of the driver’s seat while Yoana got a first-aid kit from the trunk to treat her.Although Helena was in great shock, she was only covered in minor bruises. The treatment went smoothly. After receiving an injection, she regained consciousness, albeit barely.She had a look of confusion on her face when she saw Harvey and Yoana. She wanted to say something, but didn’t have the strength to muster a single word.Harvey calmly smiled without saying another word, then narrowed his eyes at the garden villa in front of him.A huge group of bodyguards from the York family rushed over with loaded firearms.After all, this was Selena’s place, who was the lady of the Yorks.The gate had been crashed into while an intense gunfight happened outside. If the bodyguards didn’t come out in an instant, there would’ve been a real problem.“Don’t move!”“Who are you?!”“What’s going on here?!”The bodyguard le
After seeing the woman, Harvey’s eyes twitched slightly.Whether it was her aura, appearance, or style, they were all outstanding. She was definitely a beauty that could topple buildings with her looks when she was still young.The most alluring thing was the feeling of sorrow in between her eyebrows, making everyone feel compassionate toward her.Even though Harvey was tough, it still made him feel a little uncertain.That said, since he was no ordinary man, he immediately squashed the odd feeling without fail before reevaluating the woman in front of him.Yoana stood up and bowed respectfully.“Good to see you, Lady Judd!”“Oh. Yoana. You’ve grown so much! I haven’t seen you for so many years…”Selena nodded toward Yoana before looking at Harvey with a hint of suspicion.“Who’s this?”“Let me introduce you, Lady Judd.”“This is the head of the Law Enforcement of Longmen—the prince of South Light—Harvey York,” Yoana said.Selena was slightly surprised after hearing Harvey’
This was utterly groundbreaking!The moment Harvey said those words, everyone’s expressions changed immediately.The bodyguards were completely shocked as well.The leader walked forward before placing his firearm right at Harvey’s head.“Who the f*ck are you, you b*stard?!” he furiously screamed with a grim look on his face.“You’re saying that Lady Judd’s not well, and that you can fix her?!“A lot of doctors tried to help her, but to no avail!“But a damned child like you dares to say that you can fix her?!“Stop trying to show off in front of us!”The leader was surprised that Harvey could see Selena’s illness…But he still didn’t believe that he could treat her.And since he made such harsh demands, this was clearly a ploy to cause a rift between Selena and Vince!As this was Selena’s residence it would be bad to stain the place with blood. If it weren’t for that, the leader would have pulled the trigger already!“Do you have any idea what this place is, you damned b*
The bodyguards hesitated after hearing Selena’s order before putting down their firearms.They wanted to keep Selena safe, but they also had to obey her commands which put them in a tough spot.“Harvey, right? My apoologies. Abel was a little too reckless.”“That said, he doesn’t mean any harm. He’s only trying to keep me safe. Please be the bigger person and forgive him.”Selena then glared at Abel before coldly ordering, “Apologize to Sir York, Abel.”Abel clicked his mouth.“M’lady, an outsider has no right to be called that here…”Selena scowled and said icily, “He has the right if I say so.”“Apologize!”Abel’s eye twitched before he stepped forward and bowed toward Harvey.“I’m sorry, Sir York.”“You’re only protecting your lady. I don’t blame you,” Harvey replied.“But a subordinate should really listen to the master.”“I have a pretty good temper. I don’t kill people that easily. If it were anybody else, you would’ve been dead by now.”Abel felt a little resentful
Selena’s face was drained of color. She then bit her thin lips after a long while.“That’s really impressive, Sir York,” she said quietly.“I did have a son ten years ago, but he died before he was even a month old.“That’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to me!“No one dared to mention this within the family…“I don’t care where you heard about this, or that you guessed it yourself. I’m only asking you one thing: how are you planning to treat me?“Can you even bring my son back?”Selena chuckled after saying those words.To her, she could only be cured if her child was brought back to life. Otherwise, everything else was just a big joke.“I told you. If you accept my condition, I’ll fix you immediately,” Harvey replied.Selena’s gaze turned as cold as ice.“What if I accept, and you can’t fix me?”“As long as you do, I can guarantee that you’ll be healed,” Harvey said.“Besides, with your family’s power, you’ll have a hundred ways and more to kill me if I actually li
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
