Westin decided to completely go against Harvey.“I won’t force you to pull out your present right now! I’ll give you two hours to buy anything you want in the mall.”“We’ll wait right here until you come back!”Harley revealed a prideful smile after hearing her brother’s confident words.“Yeah! You dare to bet?!”“Or are you saying two hours isn’t enough?”“Beg for more time, then! If you do, we’ll gladly give you two months for it!”“You’ll have time to even sell your kidneys if you want to!”“That said, I don’t think your kidneys would be worth that much anyway.”Harley had a mocking expression.After all, 1.5 million dollars wasn’t an obtainable amount for ordinary people, even if they worked their entire lives.“I don’t need two hours for that. I have a gift for Xynthia right here.”Harvey flashed them a faint smile before pulling out the gift box Dariel gave him prior to this.He had already taken a peek at what was inside.It was a diamond necklace.He didn’t look
Even those who had no knowledge about jewelry could tell that not only was the diamond extremely beautiful, but it was as clear as day too.‘This is so pretty! What a luxurious-looking necklace!’‘I’ve never seen such a bright diamond in my entire life!’Everyone had forgotten how to react at this point.Westin froze as soon as he looked at the sight in front of him.He was an experienced man; as such, he was extremely well-versed with diamonds.He could instantly tell that the necklace was quite valuable.Harvey smiled as he put the necklace on Xynthia.Her elegant neckline perfectly fitted the exquisite diamond; it was as if the two were meant to be together.Xynthia was filled with happiness, and twirled in place. Her entire aura became a lot more pure and refined.With a face on par with Mandy, she looked just like a princess.Countless women were filled with jealousy and hatred as they looked at her.‘Xynthia’s too beautiful!’‘That diamond’s so extravagant-looking!’
The most awkward of them all were clearly Westin and his sister.They were filled with utter fear and anger, as if they were slapped in the face by the crowd; they wanted to say something, but they couldn’t even utter a single word.Westin was the son of Deepsky Corporation’s chairman. He believed that he was being romantic to prepare such a big show for the woman he loved…Yet, what happened?Not only did he fail to trample on Harvey, he got utterly humiliated as soon as the Heart of Sky was revealed.“Hmph! You think that’s a lot of money?!”Harley, however, refused to admit defeat; she gritted her teeth and glared furiously at Harvey.“That’s nothing for my brother!”“His pocket money’s worth more than that!”“That amount must be worth your entire life savings though, right?”“Maybe you stole the necklace!”“Do you have anything else worth showing?”Harley spoke up as if she regained her courage.At this moment, a waiter quickly walked in and said, “Whoever’s car that i
Harvey was completely speechless.“You need to believe me, Xynthia. I got both the car and the necklace accidentally.”“Someone gave these to me as an apology.”“You don’t have to explain, Harvey. I won’t get angry just because you got these for my sister.”“It’s about to be you guys’ anniversary, after all.”“It’s only natural to get her a big gift before getting remarried!”Xynthia felt her head aching for no reason.She took off the necklace before she unwillingly put it back inside the box and set it on the armrest.Harvey froze.“What are you doing?”“What do you mean, what am I doing?”Xynthia scoffed.“Give this back to my sister! I’ll borrow my brother-in-law every once in a while, but I can’t just take my sister’s stuff!”“I love this a lot, but I can’t hurt my sister like this…”Xynthia hesitated.She wished Harvey actually bought the necklace for her…But she knew that she wasn’t the main character—she was just a girl hiding in someone else’s shadows.Harvey
The woman looked around her before crying in a teary voice, “Can someone please help me?!”“My grandfather’s stuck inside!”The elderly person had a horrible look on his face. The steel frame of the Mercedes started to creak as well.Everyone could tell that the person would be squashed inside as soon as the steel frame snapped.Not even 911 would be able to help.The people around stopped taking pictures after hearing the woman’s cries; they felt extremely guilty about it.A few wanted to help, but they started to hesitate before deciding to stay.Everyone could tell that the person was either rich or powerful; it’d be good if they could save him…But if they couldn’t, it’d be bad once they get themselves dragged into the situation.Creak!A horrible shriek came from the steel frame. It looked like it was about to give in at any moment.The elderly person inside grunted in pain, blood seeping out of his mouth.The woman started to panic as soon as they saw the sight.She
“I won’t be able to live with myself if I don’t save him now.”Harvey York showed a gentle smile.Xynthia Zimmer froze before heaving a huge sigh.After all, her favorite brother-in-law was that kind of person.Without a second thought, she let go of his hand.Harvey stepped out from the crowd.“Are you here to save my grandfather, kind sir?”The woman saw Harvey’s scrawny physique and thought he could not save anyone…But she was terribly desperate. She did not have another choice.“If you can get my grandfather out, I’ll give you a hundred and fifty thousand dollars right now!Harvey quickly strode to the car.The smell of fuel completely filled the entire place. The car had been completely crushed as well.Half of the man’s body was wedged under the car. He completely passed out because of all the pain. It was as if his insides were being squished at this very moment.Harvey quickly held the car’s steel frame in place as he pulled the man’s clothes, trying to drag him o
Harvey York did not want to get involved any longer, but he could not bear the sight of the old man suffering.After pondering about it for a while, he said to the woman, “There’s something terrible in your grandfather.“You only got into this accident because of this.“I suggest that you go…“Something bad?The woman was completely enraged.“You were trying to kill my grandfather just for some money!“How dare you say something like that just to get yourself out of the situation?!“I’ll beat the crap out of you if you keep spouting nonsense like this!”The woman became angrier by the moment before she swung her palm forward.Tap!The slap did not land on Harvey’s face.Xynthia Zimmer instantly raised her hand to block the attack.“My brother-in-law’s just being nice, lady!“He was the only one to stand up and help! It’s already bad enough that you’re not grateful, but you’re even trying to hit him?!“You can call the cops if you really think his actions caused your gran
Harvey York opened the trunk to grab his luggage.He saw a simple gift box inside. It was a radish covered in mud.“Flaxseed from the Great White Mountain?”Harvey was confused. He did not expect that Dariel Jackson would have a surprise for him here.This was an excellent tonic. Usually, it would be used to strengthen the bodies of older men.Since Harvey was planning to get remarried, he would also need Lilian Yates and Simon Zimmer’s agreement. After thinking about the situation, he decided to pick up the Flaxseed.Mandy Zimmer got out of the villa after receiving the word.She froze after seeing a plastic bag in Harvey’s hand.“This is…”“Just a small gift for Mom and Dad,” Harvey replied. He did not bother explaining any further.Xynthia Zimmer stuck her tongue out before she slipped away after seeing her sister.Mandy was stunned after hearing Harvey’s words. She did not expect that he would still prepare something for their parents despite their relationship.“Their
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
