However, at this moment, the corner of Charles Zarate’s eye who was on the side slightly twitched. He then reached out his hand to stop Luis Zarate and refused to let him continue.Although Harvey York’s movements seemed random and even a little playful, it also seemed decent at the same time.From this point of view, Harvey did not seem to be fooling around. He seemed to have heard of similar techniques somewhere…Clank!Harvey flicked his finger on the porcelain vase again. He placed his ear against the porcelain after a while and quietly listened.After doing all those things, he put down the porcelain and looked at Shane Naiswell. He then said, “Master, are you going to sell this thing?”Shane smiled and said, “If someone realizes it's worth, I can sell it at a low price, eight hundred thousand dollars.”Eight hundred thousand dollars?Many people gasped when they heard about the price. This thing was obviously fake. How could he possibly sell it at eight hundred thousand d
Harvey York glanced at Charles Zarate indifferently and said, “Since President Zarate is interested, then I’ll try my best.”Charles’ expression was cold. Harvey was certainly taunting him, but he wanted to see what this little brat could say.Harvey continued, “President Zarate, you must have heard of Princess Cassandra, right?”Charles’ face was distraught when he heard that. He suddenly thought of a legend in the antique world. At this moment, his whole body was slightly trembling. He said, “You mean…”Speaking of which, he kept shaking his head and said, “Impossible, it’s impossible!”Although in the historical records, Princess Cassandra was often related to the marriage with the Tibetan Empire, there was still a legend about her in the antique world.Princess Cassandra had a great interest in porcelain since she was a child. King Edgar once gave her a tribute from the palace when she was being married off to a different empire.This thing was said to be one of the favorite
“Is this truly Cassandra’s Wentz Bottle?”The expression on Charles Zarate’s face stiffened, his expression then changed from doubt to shock. He could not believe it.He knew about the Wentz Bottle, and also the importance of this piece.Some people who had been puzzled were all shocked at this moment. They might not know what Wentz Bottle was.However, they could easily analyze that this porcelain vase was actually from the 17th century just from Shane Naiswell’s tone of voice and Charles’ shock.Such things were rare and once it was related to the royal family, the price would be incalculable.Meanwhile, Rosalie Naiswell was also shocked.Mandy Zimmer who was not far away was a bit speechless.Harvey York, could he even identify the legendary antique?Sure enough, the two women understood that Harvey had stunned everyone once again at this moment when they saw the delighted Shane and Charles who was in shock.At this moment, everyone looked at Harvey differently.Althoug
Everyone unconsciously looked over. It was Luis Zarate who spoke.At this moment, his face was full of contempt, and the meaning was very obvious.Shane Naiswell must have told Harvey York regarding the Wentz Bottle.Many people had a thoughtful expression on their faces when those words were said.Charles Zarate was the president of the Niumhi Antique Dealers’ Association. He did not manage to identify the Wentz Bottle, but Harvey did it?There was something weird about this.However, Luis was implying that Shane had helped Harvey to cheat at this moment. Everyone dared not to agree with him.They were not afraid of offending Harvey, they were just afraid of offending the Naiswells.Shane said calmly, “Luis, are you saying that I’m covering it up for Harvey?”Luis said respectfully, “Master Naiswell, I dared not say that.”“I can’t help but feel a little confused. How did he identify the porcelain vase? Even Master got it wrong.”Shane had a half-smile on his face. He then
Harvey York smiled when he thought of this and said, “Master Naiswell, President Zarate has already said just now that he doesn’t care. Since he doesn’t care, I think there is no need for a match again. I have won anyway, and I don’t need to prove anything more.”Everyone was stunned to hear that. Luis Zarate was the first to jump up before the others could react. He then pointed at Harvey and cursed. “Live-in son-in-law, when did you win? You are just cheating. How dare you be pretentious here?! If you don’t dare to compete, then it means that you are incapable! You are useless! You are scared!”“Yeah! It’s so rare to see President Zarate willing to advise someone. But this brat is too proud!”“Could it be that you are just outwardly attractive but a worthless person? Or are you ignorant and uneducated? Thus, you are afraid to compete with President Zarate again, right?”Harvey looked at those people innocently. “You keep saying that I cheated just now. Are you implying that someo
Harvey York looked disgusted and said, “No way…”“You…”“What are you trying to say? Could it be that your watch is fake? Then what am I going to do with it?”“Don’t you know how to appraise antique watches? This watch is a Rolex Daytona prototype watch, Paul Newman! Don’t tell me that you don’t know about it!” Charles Zarate coldly snorted.Harvey unconsciously picked up the watch and glanced at it. He was quite surprised.This was indeed the legendary Rolex watch. It was the prototype of Daytona and it became famous because of the American actor, Paul Newman in the 1980s. This watch was once auctioned for about one hundred twenty million at the auction in Geneva!”This was a rare and unique item, and it was one-of-a-kind, but unexpectedly, it fell into Charles’ hands.“What? This is that legendary watch. I heard that many antique watch collectors wanted it!”“The value of this watch is enough to buy several suites in first-tier cities!”“President Zarate is quite generous. H
Harvey York glanced at Luis Zarate indifferently. He then casually said, “Are Jasper Higgins’ authentic works so common now? Getting a piece so randomly?”Swish! All eyes were concentrated on him in an instant the moment he said this.This brat was not a fool, right?President Zarate had already said that this was the authentic work of Jasper Higgins. How could he insist that it was fake for the sake of face?Was it possible that he thought he won President Zarate just now?Luis implied that he had won the previous match because Shane Naiswell helped him cheat.This brat, did he think that he was so capable just because of those mediocre skills?He just did not know when to stop, did he?Luis was surprised. He never thought Harvey would speak like this.However, he still sneered and said, “Since Master York has unique insights, we might as well listen to them.”Luis purposely emphasized the word “Master” with sarcasm.Charles was also very upset.This live-in son-in-law who
Luis Zarate sneered and cursed when Harvey York said this, “This can also be considered as an antique? If it’s real, it’s real. If it’s fake, it’s fake.”“There is no such saying in the antique industry. If you don’t know, don’t mess around and get out of here! You are not welcomed here!”Many people around also murmured a few words in a low voice. After all, this was the turf of the Naiswells. No one dared to drive Harvey away.Harvey did not even look at Luis. He then slowly said, “What President Zarate said was right. Jasper Higgins’ painting has a specific feature. No matter how marvelous the paintings were, they exude an ethereal atmosphere. I have to say that this painting had wonderfully imitated its essence.”“You…” This time Charles pointed at Harvey and his body was trembling all over.Did he say that this painting was just an imitation?Did this brat truly know about painting and calligraphy?He could see it now. This brat just wanted to show off and was talking nonse
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
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
