Sydney Lee would not just give up on her pride at this moment.“You’re here to clean dishes, aren’t you?!” she exclaimed while gritting her teeth.Dariel Jackson was about to slap her in the face when Harvey York stopped him.“Are you insane or something, Ms. Lee?” replied Harvey calmly while squinting at her.“You’re the insane one! Your entire family’s insane like you!” exclaimed Sydney.“If I guess correctly, you’ve been burping for no reason for the longest time. Your mouth’s been extremely sore as well.“You can even smell your own breath when you speak.“That’s why you like to eat a lot of bubblegum to hide that scent.”Sydney froze after hearing those words.“How did you know that?”“I’m not a doctor, but I know some martial arts,” replied Harvey.“Eastern martial arts have medical skills included in them. That’s why I know a little about that.“I can tell that you’ve been losing sleep too. Your stomach will hurt as soon as you drink something cold.Harvey showed a
Dariel Jackson arranged a table for Harvey York and Thomas Burton to sit at.To not let Thomas feel pressured, Harvey declined before getting inside a box and sitting in front of the window.At the same time, he ordered a set meal and opened a bottle of red wine before he started eating.“I think we should just leave here, Sir York…Thomas hesitated when he grabbed his utensils.“It’s not that I don’t believe your abilities! I just don’t think there’s a need to go against so many people for someone like me!”Sydney Lee has suffered quite a bit, giving Thomas the relief he desperately needed…But Thomas’ head started to throb when he thought of the man behind her, Luca Robbins.He simply could not go against a man like that at all.“What are you saying?Harvey sat up straight before showing discontent.“You’re my brother, my dear friend.“If people go against you, they go against me.“If they don’t respect you, then they don’t respect me either!“I’m just giving you your p
Harvey York did not even bat an eye when the crowd was screaming their lungs out.He casually sipped his glass of wine without even a care in the world.Thomas Burton quickly stood up with a smile, thinking that Harvey had gotten scared.“It’s just a misunderstanding, Young Master Robbins!”“Shut the f*ck up!Luca Robbins immediately slapped Thomas in the face with a fearless expression.“Who do you think you are?!“What right do you have even to say that?!Then, Luca glanced at Harvey with a cold glare.“Don’t worry. I’m a generous man. I normally wouldn’t lay my hands on you myself, nor would I let my subordinates do the dirty work.“For someone like me, this is just savage!“We’d seem too incompetent for doing something like this!“That said, I’ll get your entire family to break every single one of your limbs for me!“After that, I’ll make them pay the price!“You’d better not have a beautiful wife, or I’ll be really happy!”Luca laughed as loud and arrogantly as he w
Sydney Lee raised her nose at Harvey York before coldly chuckling.“You’re just like Thomas Burton, a bunch of show-offs without limits!”Luca Robbins chuckled.“If you really can stop me from working with the Golden Estate, I’ll kneel and start calling you ‘Daddy’!”The beautiful women around were quietly chuckling, wanting to pounce right into Luca’s arms.Their gazes toward Harvey were filled with disdain and disgust.Naturally, they thought that Harvey was just putting up a front at this point.Harvey calmly glanced at Luca.“Do you think you have the right to call me that?“You’re not even worthy.”“You…”Luca was boiling with anger. Before he was about to say something, Sydney’s phone immediately rang.She took a glance before instinctively picking up the call.Soon, her body started trembling while her face was ashen.Luca, who was getting ready to lash out, frowned when he saw Sydney’s expression.“What? What’s going on?”Sydney was miserable.“The higher-ups o
Luca Robbins was completely sluggish.Harvey York stood up and slowly strode toward him before patting him on his face.“Where did all that arrogance go, Young Master Robbins?“You’re supposed to be impressive.“I took you down just now. Are you happy now?”Sydney Lee and the others were completely stunned. They did not expect that Harvey would be bold enough to ridicule Luca.They did not think that Luca would not even so much as let out a single sound.Sydney was anxious.“Young Master Robbins! He’s completely disrespecting you! You need to…”Slap!Luca slapped Sydney to the ground while gritting his teeth.“Who asked you?!“Who are you even?!“How dare you talk to me like this?!“How dare you tell me to go against Sir York?!“Do you want to die or something?!”Then, he kicked Sydney while she was still down on the ground.In his eyes, the woman before him made him go against Harvey.If he were even a little careless, he would die a horrible death!‘Sir York?’Syd
The storm had ended.Harvey York had no intention of making things harder for Sydney Lee and Luca Robbins.He only planned to suppress the two.Thomas Burton would have to turn the tables himself.Dariel Jackson gasped while watching from the side.He constantly warned himself not to go against Harvey unless he had a death wish.Then, Dariel told his men to kick Luca and the others out before respectfully ordering a few dishes and renewing Thomas’ membership card.Safe to say that he had already paid as much respect as he could to Harvey.Harvey tapped on Dariel’s shoulder without saying a word.A simple action was enough to send cold shivers down Dariel’s spine.After the meal, Harvey told Thomas to send him back to his villa. They also agreed to take a look at Harvey’s new shop together the next day.After heading inside, Harvey felt something odd after realizing that Mandy Zimmer was not home yet.Knowing her, she would not stay out late unless something big had happened
Harvey York did not know what to say after hearing Mandy Zimmer’s remarks.He knew that Silas John was just too good at pretending.Mandy could not tell from his disguise at this moment.Harvey would only agitate Mandy if he kept trying to explain the situation.“We’re about to get remarried,” replied Harvey after taking a deep breath.“It’s better to stay away from some other men…”“What? You’re scared that I might have feelings for Young Master John after seeing that he’s so outstanding?Mandy showed a charming faint smile.“You can run around with Kairi Patel all the time, but I can’t have my own close friend?Harvey bitterly chuckled. There was no way to explain the situation at this point.Mandy felt a little proud after seeing the look on Harvey’s face.“Alright. Don’t get jealous.She squinted while showing a smile.“I wouldn’t fall for another man who I just met.“Young Master John was just introducing a customer to me.“That said, you better cut your ties with y
“That’s good to know.”Harvey smiled.He wasn’t interested in the matters of the underworld.It wasn’t that he was scared, either.A small conflict like this was merely a game to him. He couldn’t care any less for it.“Of course, the most important thing is that you managed to de-escalate every single situation.”Kairi looked as if she had been relieved from her worries. She casually wrapped her arm around Harvey’s, smiling.“Compared to the matters of the Patel family, I think your shop is more important.”“After all, this is the reason we’re together.”“Oh, right. When you finally open up shop, I’d like to be your very first customer.”Harvey smiled.“Stop joking around.”“You of all people know what I’m capable of.”Kairi laughed.“I’m asking about my marriage,” she whispered.“I’m afraid only you can answer that for me.”Harvey’s eyes twitched frantically, and his entire face turned bright red.“Alright, enough! Let’s just look at the shop first.”Kairi smiled whe
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
