Silas said such profound words, and behaved so politely. Lilian was very much satisfied with him.His looks and personality were no different from protagonists of TV dramas.Just like the protagonists, he was a romantic man; he was infatuated with Mandy, which was why he remained single for a long time.If Harvey was out of the picture, Mandy would be able to finally marry Silas. The Zimmer family would gain a powerful backer.And then, the Jean family would probably make Mandy the head of the family.Compared to the top tenth family of Country H, the John family was simply superior.Lilian looked at her future son-in-law, pleased as punch.Simon smiled gently. “Oh, Silas. Mandy will need your help to stand her ground in Golden Sands,” Lilian said. “You should take care of her.”“Don’t let other people take advantage of her!”Silas smiled back.“You’re overexaggerating.”“I’ll always spoil Mandy like a little princess, no matter what!”“I’ll give the entire world for
Seven o’clock at night, at the entrance of the Golden Plaza.The place was luxurious, lit up by dazzling bright lights.Two rows of beautiful women in gorgeous dresses stood at the entrance.After parking the car, Silas and the Zimmer family walked to the entrance haughtily.They felt proud when they saw such a grand entrance.Lilian even wanted to record a video to show off to her friend group.She would let herself down if she passed on that opportunity!A woman stepped forward to welcome them, blocking Silas and the others with a smile.“Hello. Are you Mr. York?”“Mr. York?”Gabriel was furious.“Are you insane?!”“I’m Gabriel—your manager’s good friend!”“I booked the Heavenly Box here!”Gabriel felt pompous after saying those words.Usually, he wouldn’t be able to afford the Heavenly Box. After all, the starting price of the room cost at least twelve thousand dollars.The people who could afford it had powerful statuses as well. The ladies here would suck up to suc
“I’m not going to that sh*tty place! Not even dogs go there!”Avery glared disdainfully. “Besides, today’s Mother’s big day. She’ll be embarrassed if we just leave like that!”“The entire place is booked, you say?” Gabriel coldly asked.“I don’t f*cking care!”“The Heavenly Box has to be ours tonight!”“I’m a member here! You need to serve me, no matter what!”“If not, I’ll report you people to the Food and Drug Administration!”Gabriel had a determined look.After all, he couldn’t even do anything significant. If he couldn’t deal with such a small matter, Lilian would surely look down on him.The lady smiled, unperturbed by his threats.“I’m sorry. You can report us all you want, but we can’t serve you tonight.”“Please don’t block the entrance,” she said firmly.“My name is Silas John.” Silas stepped forward with a smile before Gabriel could lash out.“Tell your boss to see me.”“Tell them that I’m here!”The lady froze. She was naturally terrified of the John family
“Ms. Lee! I was wondering who it was!”Silas glared coldly at her, his eyes narrowed.“Do you think you have the right to go against me just because the Newgate Chamber of Commerce is backing you up?”Silas was filled with disdain.At the end of the day, Ms. Lee was just a woman who relied on Kellan to rise to power.‘Does she really think that she’s capable?’‘Does a sinful woman like her have any rights?’Ms. Lee smiled faintly.“True, CEO Ruiz and I are small fries. We’re nothing to you.”“That said, Mr. Bolton has the place booked for the honorable Mr. York.”“If he knew that a mere relative of the John family is causing trouble outside…”“I’m sure he’ll be here to teach you a lesson soon enough.”Ms. Lee spoke gently.She seemed so frail, as if a small gust of wind could bring her down. However, her threatening words were enough to make Silas’s eyes twitch.“Mr. Bolton?” he said, cold sweat forming on his forehead.“Which Mr. Bolton?”Ms. Lee chuckled.“Other than
A custom-made Maybach stopped in front of them. Eight layers of glass were stacked in every single window. Even sniper rifles couldn’t penetrate it.A Rolls-Royce Phantom sat between eight of the Maybach cars. It had an old-school look to it. It wasn’t going too fast, but it exuded a dignified aura.Ms. Lee and the others trembled, and rushed forward.“Mr. Bolton’s here!”Silas and the others instinctively stood at the side, looking at the convoy with admiration and curiosity.They could tell that Azrael was coming.They wanted to know who he invited.Judging from Azrael’s identity, the people he’d invite would normally be from the five hidden families or the top ten families.The door of the cars opened.Thirty-six fierce men in suits rushed out, looking stern and unapproachable.Eight men in robes walked out, their eyes sharp and fearsome.After all the men made sure that there wasn’t any danger, they opened the door of the Rolls-Royce.Everyone saw a single leg coming ou
Harvey nodded with a smile, and walked beside Azrael.Saul, Lochlan, Kellan, and the others followed as well.The group chatted idly, in high spirits.Lilian and the others were shocked. They couldn’t accept the fact that Harvey was Azrael’s guest. They couldn’t bear Harvey looking down on them, either.No—he didn’t even see them in the first place.Birds in the sky wouldn’t bat an eye toward mere ants.It was only natural.Mandy let out a silent sigh.She knew Harvey had an extraordinary identity. She doubted him at first, but her belief was getting stronger again after seeing what was happening in front of her.Sometimes, she would think that Harvey was below her.But most of the time, she’d feel that Harvey was like a star in the sky—completely unreachable.It was fate that the two were even a married couple to begin with.It felt like a dream—it was almost unreal.While Lilian and the others were still shocked, Avery didn’t want to believe anything in front of her. She
Avery didn’t realize it, but Gabriel was already shivering in fear.He quickly dragged Avery back, and repeatedly bowed to Azrael.“I’m sorry, Mr. Bolton! I’m really sorry! My wife’s a little out of it right now!”“She didn’t mean it! Please be kind to her!”Lilian kept nodding. “That’s right, that’s right! She’s a little crazy! She didn’t mean it!”Lilian wasn’t worried about Avery at all. She simply didn’t want Azrael to get angry and take back the money he gave her.“Mr. Bolton, here’s my wife and my parents-in-law,” Harvey said calmly, before Mandy could speak. “This woman didn’t mean to offend you.”“Give her a chance.”Harvey didn’t want Avery to die, even though he didn’t like this woman and her husband.If that happened, Lilian would pester the living daylights out of him.“I see. They’re your family,” Azrael said.“Hahaha! What a coincidence!”He waved his hand, signaling for the others to step back. Then, he looked at Lilian and Simon. “I’m sorry about that, eve
Seeing that, Lilian screamed.“Enough, Harvey!”“Silas is our guest! How dare you let that woman slap him!”“Is this a joke?!”Mandy hesitated, then spoke up to defend Silas. “Young Master John saved my mother, Harvey. Maybe we can…”Harvey immediately cut her off.“The staff aren’t servants. They’re free people, like every single one of us.”“What goes around, comes around.”“If I wanted Silas dead, he wouldn’t be standing right now.”“Do you think he’d just take a couple of slaps to the face?”“Ask him. See if he’s going to fight back after that.”Silas gritted his teeth.“You…”The lady gritted her teeth, then charged forward. She immediately slapped Silas’s face a few times.Slap, slap!Two palm prints appeared on Silas’s face. He was seething with anger; he wanted to strangle both Harvey and the lady to death, but he simply couldn’t. He was filled with unbridled rage.‘Just you wait, you b*stard!’ he thought angrily.“Remember, call me if someone comes at you fo
"Not to mention, these are weapons that Grand City's top brass directly controls. If it isn't because I've taken control over Earth Hall recently, I wouldn't have been able to take these out," Clarion said with a sigh.Harvey nodded. "Looks like letting you control Earth Hall is one of my correct decisions after coming to Grand City."Then, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. "Clarion. Take your men and attack from the outer ring. Do your best to reach the destination and save our people."Clarion blinked. "And you?"Harvey said, "Always go for the head. A truly powerful elite must be keeping an eye on everything. If we don't eliminate him, our rescue will be destined to fail."Harvey slammed his foot on the ground before jumping into the air, his figure quickly disappearing into the horizon. He noticed that there were plenty of elites converging. This was Sky Plane's territory. No matter how many he killed, his enemies would most likely swarm him.If that was the case,
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
Boom! Boom! Boom!There was a string of explosions in mid-air. The bolts had also been engulfed by the explosion. Even after Harvey had managed to negate the attacks, he didn't stop. He grabbed the rocks from the ground with his hand.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Several elites hidden in the shadows instantly lost their fighting skills."He really is a True Warrior," Clarion muttered when he saw what happened. He wasn't even sure what to say.He thought he should be able to put himself to some use this time, hence why he asked to come with Harvey. He didn't expect Harvey to be so powerful that he needed others at all.Very quickly, all the attackers gathered. It was obvious they knew they couldn't do anything to Harvey anymore."These people are from the Origin Sword Style!" Clarion said seriously after he looked at what the attackers were wearing. "They're quite troublesome. While they look like they're over-the-top, they're most likely sacrificial soldiers. But the problem is t
"Of course, if we can maintain absolute discretion, we can escape without alerting anyone once we find Ms. Mandy," Clarion said, remaining positive. "That way, we don't have to fight and draw the attention of those who hold power in Sky Plane."Harvey was sitting in the van. He frowned and looked at the buildings with clear Island Nation influence. "Since Daichi is blackmailing me using Mandy, that means they're confident we won't be able to take her away. I believe we'll have to fight with those from the Origin Sword Style today."Harvey gave it a thought for a while and said, "And don't you think that the information Vaida gave us is too accurate? As if someone left behind an opening for us."Clarion's eyes widened. "Don't tell me this is a trap just for us?"Harvey shook his head. "Not only for us, but also for Grand City. If we're really stuck here… It doesn't matter if we're killed or captured alive, we'll become the excuse for them to attack Grand City. This time, we must…"
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
