“Your savior?”Ari Foster was confused. She could not understand what Kairi Patel meant.Kairi pointed at Harvey York.“There! That’s him! Harvey!“He was the one who saved me on the plane too.“That means he already saved me twice already.“Twice?Ari showed an odd expression as she glanced at Harvey.“Him?“He’s your savior?”Kairi merely smiled.“That’s right! I was planning to give him my body as well!“Though, it’s a shame that he didn’t want me…”Ari’s expression turned glacial before she glared at Harvey.“Go! Take this man down!“Kill him if he even tries to resist!”Kairi’s expression changed.“What is the meaning of this?”Ari let out a cold chuckle.“A young man like him actually managed to take out a King of Arms from one of the sacred martial arts training grounds…“He must be one of them!“Go!”Ari’s subordinates pulled out their firearms with cold glares, prepared to pull the trigger if Harvey even attempted anything.Harvey casually put away his p
Ari Foster showed a cold smirk when she squinted at Harvey York.The man furiously screamed at Harvey.“How dare you do this to me?! Do you have a death wish or something?!”Bam!Harvey instantly kicked the man and sent him flying before slamming onto the ground unconscious.Harvey’s decisiveness completely shocked the entire crowd.After all, he was also highly skillful.“Who the Hell are you, you b*stard?!” Ari exclaimed.Harvey could not be bothered to give any sort of reply. He immediately pointed his firearm in another direction before pulling the trigger.Bang!Sounds of overlapping gunshots and screams were heard. All the people surrounding Harvey were lying on the ground while holding their legs the next moment.Gaspian Patel and the others quickly changed their expressions when they saw the sight.Naturally, they did not expect Harvey would even do this.Ari was completely enraged after seeing the sight.“How dare you lay your hands on one of my men?! Do you have
After saving Kairi Patel, Harvey York left the scene for her to clean up.He believed that she would handle everything properly, judging from her abilities.Then, he called Thomas Burton for him to drive them both to a place to eat.Harvey wanted to go to a roadside stall, but Thomas insisted on treating him to a good meal. The two then went to the Golden Sands Hotel.Thomas was extremely quiet while he was on the road. He did not say a single word after seeing the bloodshed in front of him just now. He did not ask Harvey about the details, as if nothing had happened.Harvey felt impressed by Thomas’ attitude. Safe to say that he was a man who would achieve great things but was only hindered by luck for the moment.Soon after, the car was parked in front of the Golden Sands Hotel. Thomas quickly pulled out a bank card and gave it to Harvey when he remembered something.“Here’s 7.3 million dollars, Sir York. This is all I have for now.“Give this to Mandy Zimmer. Tell her that t
After hearing Thomas Burton’s sigh, Harvey York could clearly feel the weariness of a man.Harvey frowned.“Who’s been causing you trouble?“Even your past competitors wouldn’t do something like this to waste their own energy, right?”Thomas let out a bitter chuckle.“One of them was my good friend, and the other was the woman I loved…“Not only did they get together after my downfall, but they also kept trampling all over me!“Then, I found out that my friend had been siphoning money from me for the past few years…“That woman had been colluding with him too…“I’m a fool. I didn’t even realize that I was already betrayed.“They won’t let me rise again, no matter what.“They know that I’ll crush them the moment I do.“That’s why I quit doing business. I have a car with me here. Maybe I’ll try chauffeuring…“Those people will be at ease and I’ll be relieved as well.“When I’m done dealing with my matters, I’ll finally retire and return to my hometown.”Thomas seemed quite
“She’s my ex, Sydney Lee.“We were together for many years. I loved her. I wanted to give her the entire world.“But I never knew she hooked up with my good friend for so long!“After my assets and business were frozen by the government, not only did she take away the money I had left, she conspired with my good friend to trick me into signing a contract, forcing me to put up with all that debt…“Thank goodness I got lucky. I would’ve sent those b*stards to jail by now if that weren’t the case!“That said, I must thank Mandy Zimmer for saving me back then…”A sense of respect was showing on Thomas Burton’s face.Harvey York smiled.“Do you still hate her?”“Of course, but I thought about it for a few days…Thomas showed a stern expression.“Hating on a woman is the most useless thing I can do.“If I have power, I should be taking revenge instead.“It’s a shame that I have none. I can’t do anything except try my best to survive.“I have no right to take revenge.“No matte
“Who in Hell is that fatty over there?! He’s dressed like a damn country bumpkin, and he’s even staring all over us!”“He must be some sort of pervert! Look! He’s staring at my legs now!”“Ugh! I can’t believe this! I forgot my stockings today! He saw every part of my legs! How disgusting!”“I know, right?! People like that are just heinous! Doesn’t he know that we’re innocent and pure women here?!”“How are we supposed to get married after this?!”“Disgusting!”“Pervert!”“A man like him is trying to have a piece of good meat?”“Dream on!”The women were gossiping up a storm.Sydney Lee, who was on her phone, raised her head at this moment.A playful smile was showing on her face the moment she saw Thomas Burton.“I was wondering who it was! It’s Young Master Burton himself!”Sydney obviously remembered who Thomas was. After all, the two had been together for quite a while.After being reminded of the past, Sydney felt like vomiting.Her beautiful face was filled with u
After being ridiculed by his ex-girlfriend and her group of friends, Thomas Burton could not hold his feelings back any longer despite his good nature.“Don’t you dare cross the line, Sydney Lee!” exclaimed Thomas while showing a cold glare.“You know just how well I used to treat you! I don’t care how you mock me…“But if you keep taking advantage of other people, then don’t blame me for what happens next…”“What did you say?!Sydney showed a disdainful glare.“You’re just useless trash who fell off! Do you think you’re still the Garbage King or something?!“You can’t tolerate anything! Are you a man or what?!”“Huh?!”Thomas did not know how to refute after being relentlessly ridiculed.Harvey tapped on Thomas’ shoulder with a smiley face.“Alright. Don’t run your mouth to despicable people like those. Let’s head inside.”“What did you say?!“You called us despicable?!“Let me tell you something! We’re all with rich and wealthy people here!Sydney disdainfully glared a
Thomas Burton froze before showing a horrible look on his face.He just remembered that the membership card has an annual renewal fee of thousands of dollars.After his assets were completely frozen, he had no money to pay the membership fees.The beautiful women laughed their heads off after hearing the waitress’ words.“It’s expired?”“How did you end up like this, Young Master Burton?”“How dare you even come here to eat?”“You can’t even get through the door, you fatty!”“You’re just a broke and bankrupt fatty! Why are you still pretending to be some rich boss?! Start begging for food outside already! You’re shameless!”Thomas’ eyes kept twitching as he held his fist. He was downright furious, yet he felt utterly miserable.A man who fell out of power is inferior to the common folk.He finally experienced such a thing.He completely ignored Sydney Lee and the others when he apologetically looked at Harvey York.“I’m sorry, Sir York! I’m really sorry!“I wanted to trea
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
