At the Yorks’ garden villa.Because of the series of incidents that happened last night, Selena Judd was worried about Harvey York’s safety. She forced him to stay inside the garden villa for the time being.Harvey rejected the offer but to no avail.After all, compared to the cold and desolate place like the Three Seasons Hotel, the garden villa at least felt a bit human.Besides, Harvey had a feeling that what had just happened was just an opening show.He had no intention to leave. He wanted to see everything to its end.After waking up, he checked his phone for emails.George Zabel sent over some new information all the way from Mordu.According to his intel, Mandy Zimmer rose to power within Mordu, but her position was quite unstable.To ensure the stability of her people and be respected by the higher-ups of the Jean family, she had been doing her best.Harvey was relieved to hear about Mandy’s growth and was also quite worried about how hard she had been working.But
“So will we!”At this moment, a group of people walked out. They were not from the Yorks of Hong Kong, but they were prominent characters of the younger generation within Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Matthew Flynn, Ellis Parson, Carol Parker, and the others showed up.Safe to say that the elites of the younger generation were all gathered here at this moment. This was truly a magnificent sight.Harvey York was watching the show full of interest.He trampled on many of Vince York’s people and dragged many more who remained neutral to his side.But he did not expect that Vince would have such a great influence.As expected from the young lord of the Yorks of Hong Kong!On closer look, Harvey saw that all the family houses were here, excluding the fourth house.While the people were screaming out loud, people were starting to open cracks from their balconies to see what was happening.Margot Patel, Abel York, and the others showed up while slightly frowning.Though, Marcel York and
Margot Patel clearly understood that fact.She knew full well that Marcel York would have no way to deal with the situation if he showed up himself.“You’re forcing his hand!” exclaimed Margot coldly.Vince York shook his head.“That’s not true, Secretary Patel!“Why would I even do that?“I always treat Lord York with respect and loyalty! We don’t mean any harm!“I’m only sad I let him down because of my improper teaching to my juniors! All this happened because of me!“I only hope that they don’t get punished because of this! This is my fault!“We got the Law Enforcement of the Yorks to handle Julian York’s incident. They’ll give you a fair statement soon enough,” said Margot indifferently.“As for your punishment and involvement in the situation, I have no say, nor does Lord York. Only the Law Enforcement does!“But why are you here trying to force his hand by asking for punishment?!“What’s your purpose here?!”Margot was not stupid either. She glared at Vince as if sh
Vince York’s expression worsened in an instant. He did not believe that Harvey York was just going to repay him with some simple gift.Right when he was about to question Harvey, Harvey snapped his fingers before a few Longmen disciples came out of the shadows with a cardboard box.“Here are pictures of Young Lord York with his fiance!”“He hasn’t revealed who his partner is, has he?”“Aren’t all of you interested?”The disciples leaned toward the reporters and handed the photos to them with warm smiles.The reporters were quite reluctant when they took the photos…But their eyes lit up brightly when they saw the people in the photos.The Victoria Harbor could be seen in the background. The man was none other than the dashing and personable Vince.Though many people could not recognize who the woman was…But the smile on her face seemed quite tender, as if it came straight from the heart.There were already quite a lot of questions in people’s minds when they saw the wedding
“You b*stard!” Vince York roared furiously.Harvey York’s seemingly simple actions were enough to foil his entire plan.He pounced forward, trying to snatch the photos away from Harvey.Slap!Harvey swung his back palm across Vince’s face, immediately sending him flying off.“I’m sorry, Young Lord York. I’m so used to slapping people in the face. It was unintentional,” said Harvey with an apologetic look.The crowd went dead silent after hearing those words.‘He slapped Vince in the face unintentionally?’‘What’s the point of even coming up with an excuse!’‘Does he think Vince is stupid?’Vince stumbled off the ground with a wretched look on his face.He then rushed forward and screamed, “Go! Kill him!”Vince had utterly abandoned his plans at this very moment.The bright red palm print had utterly enraged him. He would not settle until he saw Harvey’s lifeless body lying right in front of him.Harvey backed off as if he was at a loss.“I really didn’t mean it, Young Lo
The spectacle was stopped short…The incident happened so suddenly. Even Marcel York had no way of dealing with it at this moment.Obviously, since Vince York was sent away, this was just the beginning.Margot Patel sent a large group of the Lord’s Guardians around the place, ensuring that similar incidents would not recur.Harvey York shrugged before casually returning to his room.The sea and the sky merged together, forming a beautiful scenery…Right when Harvey was about to ask for some food, a few knocks could be heard coming from his door.Margot was seen wearing a gown outside the room.“Sir York, Lord York is inviting you for a meal. Would you like to join him?”The woman in front had such a beautiful figure and look…Her cold and distant aura could be felt through her strong attitude…Harvey could not help but be impressed by Selena Judd’s generosity. He did not expect she would let such an alluring woman like Margot work as Marcel’s personal secretary.Was Selena
Even Harvey York, who had seen the world’s best dishes, could not help but be impressed.“This is good cooking.”Marcel York raised his head to look at Harvey with a warm smile.“These are just some simple home-cooked meals. It’s good that you don’t dislike it.”Harvey’s pupils shrunk after hearing those words before glancing back at the stir-fried radishes.The size of every piece of radish was perfectly uniform. Even the color of the radishes looked all the same. The seemingly simple plating had quite the spontaneous feeling to it as well.This was quite the display of skill indeed!Surely, Marcel has been honing his skills with steel blades for at least dozens of years…He did not intentionally reveal anything, but Harvey knew he was a God of War, judging from the food in front of him.Marcel was also not just some phony God of War. He was legitimately powerful.Right when Harvey was admiring Marcel’s strength, he squinted while showing a faint smile.“Sir York, not only
After being silent for a while, Harvey York quietly replied, “I have a question. You’re still in your prime, and you’d be able to govern the Yorks of Hong Kong for at least another ten years.“Why would the family want you out of position that badly?”Marcel York’s eyes lit up slightly.“Do you read up on history, Sir York?”“More or less,” Harvey replied while nodding his head.Marcel smiled.“History will make a person understand the reason for the country’s rise and fall. Comparing yourself to others can give you insight into right and wrong.“Young people nowadays wouldn’t even read into history.“They’re indulged with debauchery. They’re totally different compared to us older people.”Marcel pondered about the situation before showing a faint smile.“Since you read history, then you should know about the golden age of the Whip Dynasty’s three emperors, right?”Harvey nodded.“Let’s skip the founding emperor.“We’ll talk about the next two instead,” said Marcel.“The
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
