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
Everyone stared at Harvey York blankly, because there was a shallow trace on this precious antique painting due to his folding just now.Harvey looked at Charles Zarate with a half-smile on his face. “President Zarate, you said that if you lose to me this time, this watch will be mine, right?”He then glanced at Luis Zarate again. “You did say that if this painting is just an imitation, you will grovel and apologize to me, right?”Charles was very anxious after he saw Harvey’s Plum Authenticity Twist.However, he was still the master in calligraphy and painting appraisal. He had confidence in his profession. How could he back off at this moment?This guy in front of him was just the live-in son-in-law of a second-class family in Niumhi. He was little-known in the antique industry. So, what if he said that this painting was fake? Should they just listen to him? What a joke!Charles had emboldened again as soon as he thought of this. He said viciously at this moment. “Yes, let me s
“Bullsh*t!” Someone yelled.“That’s the trace you just folded. You ruined a famous legend painting and you are still talking nonsense here! Believe it or not, I’ll hit you!”“Yeah! Taking this as the evidence? Do you think that we are stupid? Or are you out of your mind?”“Harvey, can you not be so funny? Hurry up and kneel. If you anger everyone later, you will be beaten up.” Luis Zarate also sneered again and again.Although Harvey York explained it very well and thoroughly, he did not have any evidence to support his words. Everything was just speculation. It was useless.In this case, everyone would surely believe in Charles Zarate, and would never believe him.Harvey stared at Luis as if he was looking at a fool. He then said, “Boy, your Master’s skills aren’t that good. I can now understand why that’s all you got.”“After this, I suggest you change to a better master. Don’t waste your life on him!”Harvey patted Luis on the shoulder with regret after speaking.“Go away!
“Ignorant fool making irresponsible remarks! I’m tired of arguing with you!”Charles Zarate glared at Harvey York, then moved his sights to Shane Naiswell.“Shane, you’re the patriarch of appraising treasury. Everyone would believe what you say if you’d appraise the painting.”“That’s right, Master Naiswell! Do your thing!”“Yeah! Don’t let this live-in son-in-law insult President Zarate’s reputation!”“We believe that Master Naiswell, with your stature and identity, you won’t judge carelessly.”Shane gazed into Charles’ eyes, then fumbled around for a magnifying glass and started to look closely into the painting.After a moment, he quietly spoke, “The vigorous tiger in the painting looks really vivid and mighty… From this standpoint, this must be a real painting, no doubt.”“Wha…”The whole crowd was shocked beyond belief!The live-in son-in-law gave his blind analysis speech like he knew what he was talking about, the result wasn’t even that bad!But how could it possibly
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
