‘Let alone this kept man, even Rosalie Naiswell could not come up with eight million dollars at once to buy a necklace!’‘This must be stolen!’‘No wonder this kept man insisted Rosalie to open the gift box after she had returned home because he was afraid of being discovered!Owen Hawkins sneered and looked over at Rosalie. “You’d never know, Rosalie. Your taste in men is truly indescribable. Even now, you are having a crush on a thief?”“But you’re quite skillful in stealing! In just a few minutes, you could already get eight million dollars! Amazing!”Rosalie’s face turned frigid. She said coldly, “Owen, let me warn you, watch your tongue! You better stop talking nonsense.”“Nonsense? Me?” Owen laughed out loud.He then clapped his hands and said loudly, “Everyone, come and have a look! Someone has stolen something! A necklace worth eight million dollars was stolen. This is more exciting than a movie! Don’t let him run away!”Owen’s announcement caused a hubbub…A group of
There was a murmur spread through the crowd. Rosalie Naiswell slightly frowned.She could not get through with those ordinary people about the value of antique watches. After all, people who did not deal with antiques could not understand the value of such things.Rosalie looked at Owen Hawkins and said while thinking of this, “Owen, you are from the Hawkins of Mordu. Can’t you see that Harvey’s watch is real? He can wear watches worth hundreds of million dollars casually. Do you think that he will steal a necklace worth a few million dollars? Can you stop looking for trouble here?”“Is it worth hundreds of millions?” Owen sneered, “If it’s a legendary watch, it is indeed worth hundreds of millions. But for a fake watch, it’s already quite good if it’s worth dozens of dollars!”“Rosalie, you the Naiswells run an antique business. Don’t try to defend a thief and ruin the reputation of the Naiswells. Master Naiswell will not let you go by then!”“You…” Rosalie was helpless at this t
Ria Ferguson looked at Ella Graves. There was a trace of jealousy in her eyes. She did have some confidence in her appearance. However, the two women she met today, one was cold and the other was pure. Let alone the appearance, she could not even compare with them in terms of temperament.Ria was even more upset. At this moment, she said mockingly, “Will he be innocent just because you said that he’s innocent? This necklace is worth eight million dollars. Do you know what it means? Even selling you wouldn't cost that much!”“Which part of this kept man seems rich? He does not have that temperament. If he didn’t steal, how can he get this kind of thing? Just by daydreaming?”Ella faintly smiled, like a lotus blooming in summer. “I believe in him. He will never steal. You have my word of honor!”Many people around were whispering back and forth, discussing it when they heard this.Ria was hinting that Ella was doing the rough trade and had no integrity at all. Ella was not angry
“Sir!”The next moment, the store manager bowed respectfully. She then picked up the gift box. She then said, “Sir, you left too soon just now. I didn’t manage to give you the invoice.”“Besides, your expense limit is so high. The head office called and said that we should register you for the highest-level membership. Is it convenient for you to leave your phone number? In this case, someone from our side can contact you if there are any exhibitions and new products in the future.”What?Invoice?Even applying for the highest-level membership?And inviting him to the exhibitions?In other words, was this necklace bought by this guy in front of her?For a moment, it was as silent as death.Almost everyone opened their mouths wide, they were horrified and could not believe it.Eight million dollars!He was rich!Ria Ferguson was stunned at this moment, Her face turned pale.Impossible!How could this kept man afford it?It was a necklace of eight million dollars! Not eigh
Harvey York unconsciously glanced at Rosalie Naiswell.Rosalie was not stupid. She could see that Ella Graves also had a crush on Harvey.However, she nodded and smiled after thinking about it. “It’s okay. You have given me such an expensive gift. It doesn’t matter what I eat tonight.”Ella glanced at Rosalie in surprise upon hearing this. She was a little shocked.She was not surprised that Harvey gave Mandy Zimmer such an expensive thing.Nonetheless, what was going on here with this sister who was very cold at first glance?At this moment, Ella’s cell phone rang, and it was her mentor.The phone was connected, and an old voice came from the opposite end, saying, “Ella, why haven’t you and your senior arrived here yet? Are you secretly going on a date?”Ella and Jensen Carlson’s lecturer was also attending the medical seminar.However, he probably did not find the two students there. Thus, he called to tease them.Ella glanced at the gentle Jensen and said, “Lecturer, stop
If Harvey York were here, he could instantly recognize that the person standing with her head drooping at this moment was indeed Thea York.Thea who was known to be able to get everything she wanted in South Light was now pale with sweat dripping from her face, and it messed up her delicate makeup.Less than ten meters in front of her, a man wearing traditional Chinese costume, with a handsome face, who seemed to be at most twenty-five years old, was playing chess alone.He was in charge of both black and white at the same time and was playing very intensely on the chessboard.Only the sound of the moving chess pieces were occasionally heard in the empty hall. Although Thea was shivering, she dared not make any sound. Crash!Half an hour later, the jade chessboard shattered at this moment after the last piece was being moved, like big and small beads falling, making the ding-dong sound.Thud. Thea immediately kneeled on the ground, but still, she dared not breathe.She waite
Quinton York was still smiling, but now, he squinted and looked at the entrance of the hall.A woman wearing a plain dress without any makeup, but looked akin to a person in a painting, walked in slowly.If Rosalie Naiswell was said to be extremely cold, then she was truly otherworldly, as if anyone would be devoured by her aura if they glanced at her.Thea York who was initially trembling was trembling even more now.Queenie York.She was ranked fifth in this generation of the Yorks, the only female among the Famous Four.Rumors were stating that she was not bound by blood to the Yorks, instead, she was from a more terrifying and ancient family. Nonetheless, no one knew whether this was true or false.Queenie’s expression did not flinch at all. At this moment, she looked at Quinton and said, “We have already known how terrible that guy is since many years ago.”“His brilliance alone has suppressed us for more than ten years. If it were not for a multilateral plan three years a
“Big Brother is his demon after all.” The other person said indifferently. “But he’s not yours or my demon. We should just happily let them settle it between them.”“Is it?” A cold voice sounded. They did not know when Queenie York appeared in the courtyard.Both of them looked at her with a smile.The Famous Four of the Yorks gathered in Silver Nimbus Courtyard today because of the same person.***A private medical seminar would be held on the top floor of an office building in the pedestrian street of Niumhi.Since Ella Graves kept insisting and Harvey York had nothing to do now, he followed her.Ella who was initially in a bad mood beamed and kept talking to Harvey.Jensen Carlson, who was following behind them, had his expression darkened at this moment.What was the situation with this brat?Jensen was not a fool either. He could vaguely feel that Ella seemed to treat this brat who suddenly appeared differently.She always casually said a few words to him when she was
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
