Right when Xynthia was about to reason with Lilian, the driver turned on the car’s privacy windows. His expression was horrible.“CEO Zimmer, Madam. A few cars have been following us for a while…”“I’ve already gone through a few different routes, but they’ve been constantly trailing us…”“I’m afraid they’re coming after us!”Mandy froze before glancing at the rear-view mirror.Just as the driver had said, a few cars with Country H license plates were steadily trailing behind.The cars were all black. Along with their prominent-looking license plates, the convoy seemed extremely grand.However, the convoy scattered instantly after realizing that their cover was blown. They came from all sides, completely surrounding the Zimmer family’s convoy.One of the cars went forward to block the road, while the other two slowly closed in on Mandy’s car.Mandy’s expression changed. She didn’t think someone would even dare cause trouble to the Jean family in Mordu.But after pondering abo
After seeing Mandy’s driver acting so ruthless, several blondes clad in suits jumped out of the car that had been knocked to the side.They seemed a little sluggish, but then, they started shooting at Mandy’s car.Bang, bang, bang!After a barrage of bullets, the tire on the back was blown off.In an instant, the car swerved along the road, crashing into everything in front of it.The driver’s face had lost all color as he desperately tried to control the steering wheel, trying to make sure the car wouldn’t flip on its side.Lilian was so scared that her eyes had already turned white; she was on the verge of passing out.Xynthia was slightly calmer, but she was still extremely terrified.She had experienced quite a lot, but it was her first time getting chased down on a street.Mandy, however, had grown exponentially; she remained calm and exclaimed, “Get the people from the back to support us!”“Lock the car doors!”“Call the police!”The driver nodded. It was quite embarr
“Is he a King of Arms? A God of War, maybe?!”The leading knight of the Round Table changed his expression frantically after seeing his men drop dead one after another.He swiftly threw away his cigar before slashing his way forward.He unleashed the same Holy Cross Slash, but it was way stronger compared to the ordinary Knights Templars’ slash.Clang!The unknown man swung his sword, snapping the knight’s sword in half in an instant.Pfffft!While the knight was stung with disbelief, the man thrust forward and jabbed his sword into the knight’s throat.A horrified gurgle could be heard from the knight.His identity in The Empire was quite immense. He had been undefeated for most of his life, but now, he was killed in an instant without any remorse…Filled with resentment and disbelief, the knight fell to the ground paralyzed.Xynthia quietly looked through the gaps of her fingers while covering her face. She had been doing quite well within Mordu’s entertainment industry, s
“Good boy! What a good boy!”Lilian Yates seemed quite happy while sizing up Joseph Bauer. After thinking of the luxurious gift that Joseph gave previously, Lilian was more and more satisfied with her future son-in-law.She immediately pulled Mandy Zimmer out of the car.“To show you our appreciation, I’ve decided to go to Flutwell with you and my daughter.”“Of course. I’ll look forward to it…”Joseph’s eyes lit up instantly. After getting word that the Knights of the Round Table were planning to assassinate Mandy, he came here as quickly as possible.As he expected, this was an opportunity.“Come! Protect CEO Zimmer and her family!“From now on, they’re important guests of mine!“Whoever tries to lay a finger on my important guests will die without their bodies intact!”Mandy did not even have the strength left to let out a sigh. She wanted to decline Joseph’s so-called invitation, but she could not even utter a single word at that moment.After all, Joseph did bring his m
After listening to Edwin Mendoza, Harvey York nodded lightly before looking at his documents again.“So, what’s up with this Joseph Bauer guy?”After scrolling through the phone for a moment, Edwin then softly replied, “Joseph Bauer is the thirteenth descendant of the Bauer family, one of the top ten families of Country H. Everyone calls him the Thirteenth Young Master Bauer.“It’s also said that he’s one of the top candidates to become the head of his family.“There are two other candidates besides him, the eldest young master, Jeff Bauer, and the seventh young master, Harold Bauer.”Harvey frowned.“That’s it?”“Of course not. Throughout history, the head of the Bauer family always assumed another identity, the master of Longmen,” replied Edwin.“It’s the same for this generation as well.“Simply put, no matter who rises to power, other than becoming the head of the family, they’ll also be sitting on the Longmen’s throne.“That’s why these young masters had constantly been
Edwin Mendoza did not have to continue further. Harvey York knew exactly what was going to happen after that.Lilian Yates knew that Joseph Bauer was filthy rich, and he was interested in Mandy Zimmer. Judging from Lilian’s greed and narrow mind, since she thoroughly despised Harvey, she would do everything in her power to get Joseph and Mandy together.“Did you contact Travis Hunt? How strong is Joseph?” Harvey asked another question after thinking about the situation.Edwin bitterly chuckled.“Commander Hunt said that he couldn’t figure out Joseph, and he had quite a few Kings of Arms accompanying him at the moment.“There was no hostility from him, so he left as soon as he was done with his job as you asked.”Harvey nodded. He did not want anyone to know that he had a connection with Travis.But if he explained the situation to Mandy and the others, Lilian would think that Travis showed up with ill intent.At this point, Lilian must have treated Joseph like her son-in-law.
“Mandy…”A cold chuckle could be heard from the other side of the phone immediately after Harvey York spoke.It was not Mandy Zimmer’s tender voice at all. It was Lilian Yates’s unbearably sarcastic and evil tone that was heard.“Harvey, right?“I knew you’d call sooner or later, you shameless b*stard!“You’re going to tell me that you knew all about the attack and sent someone to protect us, right?”“It all happened though, didn’t it?” replied Harvey.“I don’t believe you, Harvey.“You don’t have to keep pretending! I know exactly what happened!”Lilian chuckled coldly.“You’re getting pretty damn cocky recently!“If nobody told me that you provoked The Empire’s fourth princess, why would a bunch of knights even come at me in the first place?! You almost got the better of me!“How are you this damn useless?!“You can’t deal with your own problems, yet you push them all to your wife?!“You even got an innocent woman like me involved!“Let me tell you something! I know ex
After hanging up the phone, Harvey York dialed another number. Edwin Mendoza showed up soon after.“Did you figure it out?”Edwin nodded.“I did. The people had mysterious identities and were already whitewashed through different sources. That’s why we don’t have enough evidence to prove anything here.“But, we can confirm that they’re from the Knights Templar. The man leading the group must be from the Knights of the Round Table.“The fourth princess probably planned the attack.“She has no way to go against our people in Hong Kong and Las Vegas, so she’s trying to threaten you using your wife.“What should we do now?”Harvey stood up before calmly replying, “I expected as much from her.“She’s not the type of woman to sit still.“She’s trying to divert our attention.“She didn’t manage to learn our manners, yet she mastered our art of war. What a shame…”Edwin frowned.“So…”Harvey smiled.“She has her strategies. I have my ways to deal with them,” replied Harvey calml
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
