“What? You know about them?”The Yorks of Hong Kong were a part of the five hidden families. It was only natural for them to know of Evermore since they had been around for the longest time.Queenie York was dead silent before quietly replying, “Nobody knows where the organization came from anymore…“But since the Whip Dynasty, Evermore had been the most active here in Country H.“The Island Nations would be close second.“Their goal is simple, to acquire everlasting life.“They did a lot of heinous things just for this goal.“They became killers and people of authority. Traces of them even showed in some small countries along with the South Sea’s government forces.“Simply put, Evermore would stop at nothing to figure out any way to get their hands on everlasting life.“That said, since they had been hiding in the dark side of history, they had been quietly influencing the country for many years.“Both the five hidden families and the top ten families would dare go against E
While the two were chatting, the car arrived at the Hong Kong International Airport.After giving Queenie York a warm hug, Harvey York walked into the airport soon after.Unlike everyone else, Harvey immediately entered the VIP passageway and sat in his first-class seat.After what happened in Blackburn City, Harvey knew that he would be able to avoid a lot of trouble by getting a first-class seat.Soon after, a hint of fragrance blew over.A woman in a black shirt walked in with a few strong men in suits.Harvey instinctively glanced over before he saw the woman wearing huge Gucci sunglasses covering half of her face.At the same time, she stomped on her exquisite-looking high heels with extremely short leather pants.Her slender legs were stunning, giving anyone the urge to pounce at them at first sight.After all, those legs were so pale and tender-looking.Even Harvey could not help but stare before he shifted his gaze toward the woman’s face.Only small lips and a point
The stewardess immediately came over to assist the woman while showing a passionate expression on her face.The woman coldly nodded before casually sitting on the backmost seat.The other passengers took a few glances before they looked away.Harvey York frowned. He sized up the fashionable woman before glancing at her bandaged hand.A hint of gunpowder could be smelled.The others may not be able to detect that, but for an experienced war veteran like Harvey, the smell was just too familiar not to miss.Harvey frowned before he stood up.He instantly left his seat before he instinctively glanced back.He was surprised that the woman did not even bat an eye at him.Harvey naturally stopped after seeing that.This meant that the fashionable woman was not specifically targeting him.A sweet-looking stewardess walked toward Harvey before she whispered, “Excuse me, the plane’s about to take off. Please return to your seat.”“If you’re going to the restroom, please hurry. You’ll
“She didn’t show me, but I could smell it,” Harvey York explained everything with a stern expression.“You could smell it?“Are you a dog or something?“Do you think your sense of smell is that good?”The stewardesses looked at each other before showing weird looks at Harvey.At this point, they thought that Harvey was just some unhinged person.“I’m giving you one last chance. Get back to your seat now, or we’ll have to throw you out!”The sweet-looking stewardess showed an arrogant look on her face.“There are a few hundred people on this plane! This isn’t a place for you to screw around!“It doesn’t matter if you bought a first-class ticket!“If your nose is that good at smelling, why don’t you guess what perfume I’m using right now?” exclaimed the heart-shaped stewardess coldly.Harvey looked at the stewardesses before looking at the nameplates on their chests.“You. Shelby Cobb. You had a milk bath last night. You’re using Chanel’s No.5 perfume, but you’re thrifty enou
The woman on the ground was then thoroughly searched by another woman with an instrument.The woman frowned at that.Other than a purse and a phone, there was nothing suspicious at all.She quickly looked for the woman again.Even when said woman’s feet were laid bare, nothing was found.She looked at a middle-aged man before shaking her head with a gloomy expression.The man’s expression changed slightly. Then, he screamed, “Jemma! Shelby! Do you want to die?!”“Didn’t you say that there was C4 on this woman?”“We didn’t find a single thing!”“How are you supposed to take responsibility for offending a first-class passenger like this?”Shelby and Jemma walked over, looking pale. Normally speaking, they would be rewarded hundreds and thousands of dollars for such a heroic act…And yet, what happened?Nothing was found, and everything turned into some random joke.Both the police and the airline company would surely fire them both in order to make amends.“I’m sorry, Ins
The woman with a black shirt looked curiously at Harvey; her exquisite face was filled with doubt.Naturally, she could already tell that Harvey was no ordinary person. That was why she wanted to hear his explanation.“Just because you can’t find it, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.”“Some things are hidden right under your nose.”Harvey casually poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.“You airport police are so unprofessional.”“If I was your chief, I would’ve fired every single one of you in an instant!”“You searched everywhere, but you never considered the one place easy enough to sneak in a C4!”Harvey splashed his tea right on the woman’s broken hand.“Aaagh!”Having been scorched by hot water, the woman screamed in pain.“What do you think you’re doing, you b*stard?!” she furiously exclaimed.“My arm’s broken! What can you even look for here?!”“You think I really have C4 on me?!”“Do you honestly think I’m really just going to take you all down with me?!”
The inspectors all looked at each other, unsure of what to say.The woman was right, after all.Harvey squinted at her again, and said, “You having a plaster isn’t illegal, but mixing diatomite sure is.”Harvey slowly poured the tea in his hand on the plaster.The woman’s face worsened by the second.“Diatomite is a special material. It has two uses: it can be applied for medicine, or act as the creation of C4.”“All you need to detonate diatomite is a simple yet common conductor: alcohol.”“As long as there’s strong alcohol like white wine or vodka, diatomite can easily be used as an explosive!”“The explosion is pretty terrifying, too.”“In theory, the diatomite in your plaster would be able to split the entire plane in half.”“And once an explosion like this goes off in the air…”“Everyone here would be dead without a doubt!”“Even God won’t be able to save us!”Harvey told a stewardess to open the emergency exit, and threw a speck of plaster dust outside along with a s
Harvey had an odd look when he saw the sight.When the woman died before saying those words, he couldn’t help but reevaluate the woman in a black shirt again.It would be better not to go against the woman. If not, he wouldn’t even know how he’d die.At the same time, Harvey had a few guesses as to who the woman was.With such an immense status and a superb assassination technique; as well as her surname…The woman’s identity was basically out of the bag at this point.That said, Harvey didn’t bother exposing her since he had no grudges against her.As for the dead woman, Harvey had no interest in her whatsoever.Since he wasn’t her target, he couldn’t be bothered to look into the dead.The middle-aged inspector then asked Harvey to make a simple report.Harvey only wanted to get to the Golden Sands, so he gave the two stewardesses the credit.Shelby carefully explained the situation, but Jemma immediately refuted it.Harvey looked curiously at Jemma; he didn’t understand h
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
