“Indeed! These experts from other countries had passed away in the last few years…”“Some literature had been updated to the third edition, but the data registered was still the first edition!”“And about this cited literature, the original author had said that he made a mistake in his thesis and asked everyone not to cite it. And here…”Many experts and scholars around were focused on the contents of the thesis report excitedly.But when everyone paid attention to the common details that they had only taken a quick glance at, many loopholes were found.Even Gregory Clarke and Ella Graves were shocked upon having a closer look at the thesis report.‘Does the thesis report really contain someone else’s research results?’‘Because Jensen Carlson did not know which literature that these theses and data had been cited from, that’s why it was not altered haphazardly and this became the biggest loophole?’Ella looked back at Harvey York, her heart skipped a beat. Her eyes were full o
Harvey York forced a smile and said, “Senior Oskar Armstrong is a god among men. If he had dropped a research that he thought was not feasible, why would he give you pointers about it later?”“Are you implying that Senior Armstrong is trying to frame you behind your back?”“You…”Jenson Carlson pointed at Harvey, his face frozen over.“I’ll call Senior Armstrong right now to prove that you’re just spouting blasphemy!”“What? Call Senior Armstrong?”“Director Carlson has Senior Armstrong’s phone number?”“I’ve heard that nobody could ever contact Senior Armstrong in this country. How could Director Carlson even have a way to do so?”Even Gregory Clarke was shocked, he did not think that his student would have connections with Senior Armstrong.And the research project was actually Senior Armstrong’s idea!Thank the gods!Truly a blessing to have a student like so!Without a second thought, Gregory coughed and said, “Jensen, are you going to spout nonsense with an outsider li
Everyone was visibly confused when they saw the name on Harvey York’s phone.The name was shown as “old but dishonest” on Harvey’s phone screen.Jensen Carlson laughed after seeing the name.“You think calling a random number can prove that you’re actually calling Senior Oskar Armstrong?”“Of course not.”“Then why are you still showing off?!”Harvey smiled.“I’m not like you, dialing up a random number and saying that it’s Senior Armstrong. The number I dialed is the right one.”In the middle of Harvey’s speech, his phone had been tooting at him for some time. Clearly, the person on the other side of the phone had hung up on him.Harvey was speechless.‘What the heck? He hung up on me?’Jensen froze after seeing this and then laughed when he came back to his senses.“Didn’t you say that your number was correct? Why did you get hung up on then? Don’t tell me that Senior Armstrong on the other side is in a bad mood and hung up because of that!”“Take a look at the time we’r
The screen had shown the name “old but dishonest” once again, it was the name that Harvey York had dialed up.Harvey casually accepted the call, the video call successfully connected soon after. An old man appeared on the other side of the screen. He looked quite lean, but carrying a sage-like aura with him and having an extensive amount of knowledge.He must have just woken up from his sleep, he was still wearing his pajamas. Even so, he gave the impression that he was full of energy.God!This is…The grandmaster of Country H!The god of the medical field!Oskar Armstrong!Senior Oskar Armstrong!Everyone had audibly gasped for air after looking at Harvey’s phone screen, all of them perplexed.“This… Really is Senior Oskar Armstrong. I do remember him having a mole on his forehead, he must be real...” Someone in the crowd muttered to himself, but at that moment it was as loud as a sudden clap of thunder.The crowd was freaking out.How did this nobody that came out of now
The crowd had their eyes wide open and their jaws dropped, not able to utter a single word.Jensen Carlson’s mind had exploded and slowly turned him numb.‘What’s going on?’‘This Harvey York guy not only knows Senior Oskar Armstrong, but he’s talking to him like old friends despite their age difference.’Before people came back to their senses, Senior Armstrong laughed.“Alright, Harvey. Come visit anytime, you know you’re always welcome here…”“Let’s talk business, is there a reason for you to call me this late at night?”Obviously Senior Armstrong also had a brilliant mind. There must be something urgent for Harvey to call him so suddenly.They were only reminiscing before, now onto the main topic.Harvey did not waste any time and flipped open the documents in his hand, then pointing it at the camera.After a few minutes, Senior Armstrong was confused.“Harvey, why do you have the documents of the research project?”“You talked to me about this before, didn’t you?” Harv
Harvey York looked at Gregory Clarke with an expression as cold as ice.“Saint Clarke, you said it yourself, if I can find evidence of his fraud, you’ll expel him as your student.”Gregory’s face turned for the worse, he was awkward beyond belief.He did say such a thing, but the problem was…The Carlson family had an extraordinary status in South Light!To evict someone that came from a medical family, even for Gregory, he would be punished for that consequence!But if he did not do so, his family principles would be ruined!Harvey did not give Gregory any time to think about the situation.“I already saved you from embarrassment by not telling Senior Armstrong about the situation.”“But since you’re Jensen’s teacher, you have to take responsibility for this matter.”“There are documents that should be destroyed, and there are projects that should be abandoned.”“If not, and the word spread, I don’t think even you are able to bear the consequences. Am I wrong?”Gregory imm
“Teacher, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Please forgive me for being reckless. I deserve to die. I really deserve to die…”Ella Graves used to respect his senior, but even she started to sigh at that moment.Ella was more serious about her education more than anyone else.‘Jensen Carlson using means like this to have a little more fame was truly silly.’‘Does he not know that he would be exposed sooner or later using despicable means like this?’Jensen saw Ella looking at him like some sort of disgusting insect and trembled even harder than before.Since the first semester of university, when he first saw Ella speak, he had already decided that he would do anything to pursue her.He knew that his junior values her education the most, that was why he had painstakingly endured for so many years to stage this set.Jensen thought that he could finally take a beautiful woman home after all this time, but he did not think that the situation would end up like this.“Teacher, please! You ha
Jensen Carlson covered his face while making a baleful expression.“Dad, I tried! I’ve put out everything that I prepared since years ago!”“I was prepared to wait until Senior Oskar Armstrong died then bring out the thesis paper!”“But was it not enough that I gave everything I had for this?!”“Us Carlsons are also wealthy, why do we have to be someone else’s servants? Quinton York is nothing…”Slap!The patriarch of the Carlsons swung his hand across Jensen Carlson’s face once again, and immediately stopped him from saying what he wanted to say.“You rebellious child. I’ll tell you one last time, without Master York, the Carlsons would have been under the rubble by now!”“To help Master York with his business is our honor! And we must bear for the consequences this time for our failure!” The patriarch said gloomily.His tall body unconsciously trembled after his speech.Obviously, the name “Quinton York” to the patriarch of the Carlsons had struck fear in his heart.Jensen
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
