That said, Dariel Jackson completely ignored the entire family.He quickly walked in front of Harvey York before respectfully bowing.“Sir York!”‘Sir York?!’Dariel was not being that loud, nor was he quiet…But those words felt like a bomb going off in the heads of Baylor Lee’s parents.Baylor was also showing an extremely horrible expression.The relatives were showing expressions of utter disbelief when they looked at Harvey.‘What the Hell?’‘Sir York again?’‘Is this live-in son-in-law really that impressive?’Baylor froze.“CEO Jackson! He’s just a live-in son-in-law!”Dariel completely ignored Baylor as he respectfully bowed in front of Harvey.“Sir York! Mrs. Zimmer!“I didn’t think I’d bump into you two here! What a blessing!“I’m honored!“This is too exciting for me!”Dariel was so exhilarated that his mouth had been wide open the entire time.Everyone from the Lee family was stunned when they saw Dariel being this happy in front of Harvey.Baylor’s jaw
Dariel Jackson’s words made it look like he was blaming the Lee family, but it had another meaning to it.Baylor Lee’s eyes lit up instantly.“You didn’t ask, CEO Jackson!” she replied with a tender voice.“I would’ve told you by now!“Just let me know when you want to have a meal with Harvey York! I’ll set him up just for you!”Baylor puffed up her chest as if she owned Harvey.She was being quite confident at this moment.She believed that Harvey had no choice but to do anything if Gabriel Lee managed to control him through Lilian Yates.Dariel could not help but tap Baylor’s shoulder after hearing her words.“Good! Good! Come to my office tomorrow!”Baylor’s eyes lit up. She thought she was about to climb the ranks again.The Lee family was exhilarated. They were impressed by Baylor’s ingenuity to take advantage of the situation secretly.‘No wonder she’s been able to rise through the ranks that easily…’“I don’t think I even know you.Harvey casually spoke up after se
Harvey York showed an odd expression when he looked at Mandy Zimmer. He could not recognize who the woman on the phone was.Ever since she came to the Golden Sands, she has met quite a lot of people.From a particular standpoint, this was a sign of her growing up.“Mandy! Isn’t that the legendary live-in ex-husband?The woman on the screen was showing a disdainful expression when she saw Harvey’s figure behind Mandy.“Why would you let that filth in your room?”Mandy glared at her.“I told you, Alma. I’m going to remarry him.”“You’re kidding, right?Alma John was shocked.“He’s just filth! Everyone here knows that you barely got out of the marriage! Why would you dig yourself another hole?“Did you forget?“I introduced you to my brother! You’re supposed to be my sister-in-law!“My brother’s a prominent figure in the John family!“You both would make a strong couple!”Alma showed a determined look on her face.Harvey frowned. He did not expect that Mandy would be acqua
Mandy Zimmer frowned after hearing Alma John’s righteous tone.“I haven’t even seen your brother, Alma.“Can you just stop trying to get us together?”Alma raised her jaw before scoffing coldly.“My brother’s an outstanding man! He’s one of the eldest young master’s most trusted subordinates!“Women in the city crave him!“I’m only giving you a chance because you’re my good friend! I’m saving such an outstanding man just for you!“Nobody else can get this!Alma showed an arrogant expression.“You better know what’s good for you, Mandy!”Mandy looked helpless before she leaned on her pillow with her hand on her forehead.“Alright. Enough of this. I have things to deal with tomorrow. I’ll head off for now.”Naturally, she had no intention of arguing with Alma about this.“Well, goodnight!Alma showed a faint smile.“That said, I already promised my brother, Mandy…“I told him that you’re still a virgin even though you’ve been with that filth of your ex-husband for three w
Without a second thought, Harvey York lowered his head before deciding to give up on the subject.Then, he smiled faintly before leaving the room.Mandy Zimmer coldly scoffed. She thought that Harvey was oddly weird at that time.***On the next day, early in the morning. Harvey was about to head outside to investigate the John family.Before he stepped outside, a call came in.Harvey took a glance before he picked up.“Are you not going to call me at all? I’m your friend, Harvey.”A gentle voice could be heard on the other side. It was Kairi Patel.“Ms. Patel?”Harvey froze. He did not expect Kairi to call him this early in the morning.“Can’t you just call me by my name?” asked Kairi with a playful tone.“Alright, Kairi.Harvey did not hold back.“You got something to tell me this early in the morning?”Harvey knew that a person like Kairi would never do something without any reason.There was no chance that she called just to invite Harvey out for tea.“Honestly, I’
Vroom!Fifteen minutes later, a red Ferrari stopped right in front of the villa.When the car window rolled down, Kairi Patel’s beautiful face could be seen.She was also wearing a pair of sunglasses, making her look extremely fashionable and refined.Kairi glanced at Harvey York before she showed a faint smile.“Please, Sir York.”Harvey did not have the chance to look at Kairi’s face closely before…Under the bright sun, he could tell that Kairi was as beautiful as a painting. Her godly looks alone could definitely topple buildings at first glance.Mandy Zimmer also had great looks, but Kairi was no worse.The two were a pair of gorgeous flowers. Both of them had their own attractive features, but it would be hard to say who had the upper hand.Typically speaking, any man would not be able to choose between the two.All of them would want both.Harvey calmed himself with a deep breath before he stepped inside the car.The fragrance inside the car wafted over as soon as t
After hearing Kairi Patel’s words, the people standing behind the man showed horrible expressions.Obviously, they all knew that the man would most likely die judging from his state.“Thank you for that.The man merely smiled, as if he knew his death was inevitable.“Oh, Kairi. You don’t have to be sad for me. I know that life and death are just a part of the process.“Right. I heard you were attacked during your flight a few days ago.“Are you alright?“I have a few Hundred-Year Radishes here. Use them to muster your energy.”Naturally, the man was quite worried about Kairi’s well-being.Kairi showed a smile on her face.“Thank you, Uncle!“I’m fine. A person on the same flight saved me. That’s why I’m still standing here right now.Then, Kairi pointed at Harvey.“Let me introduce you, Uncle. This is Harvey. He was the one who saved me back then.“Harvey, this is my uncle, Wes Pagan.“The Pagan family came from one of the Golden Sands’ Hermit Families during ancient tim
Arlet Pagan explained the entire situation again in front of Wes Pagan before gritting her teeth in front of Harvey York.“Why would you just do whatever you want without knowing anything?!“If anything happened to my grandfather, you would’ve been a dead man!“Do you think you can save anybody just for some pocket money?!“You’re disgusting!”Arlet’s eyes were filled with utter disdain.“If it weren’t for me holding the car’s metal frame, Mr. Pagan would’ve turned into minced meat by now.”Arlet’s face instantly turned dark.“How dare you curse my grandfather like that, you b*stard?!“Just admit in front of everybody that you were just fooling around!“If it weren’t for you, my grandfather wouldn’t need to stay inside the hospital for the past few days!”Arlet’s expression was as cold as ice at this moment.She felt horrified, thinking that Harvey could have been the cause of her grandfather’s death.“Harvey’s a martial artist, Arlet. He’s a lot stronger compared to any o
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
