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
“Mandy!”“Don’t go!”Simon quickly called Mandy, but she had already picked up the pace.He could only wave his hand at Harvey, and then catch up to his daughter.Despite her shame, Lilian wanted to head inside. However, she could only leave with the others, looking resentful.Gabriel and Avery stumbled out of the place immediately, afraid they’d be pushed around by Azrael if they stayed.At that very moment, a red Lamborghini parked at the entrance. A long, slender leg wrapped in fishnet leggings could be seen. A second later, Kairi stepped out of the car.Harvey’s head started to ache when he saw that. He finally knew why Mandy left.Then again, it’d be bad if he tried to explain the situation. He had no clue what to actually tell Mandy.The door of the passenger’s seat opened. Arlet walked out as well.Harvey was speechless.Thank goodness Mandy had already left; he wouldn’t know what to tell her if she didn’t.Azrael had a profound look when he saw the couple’s little
Everyone knew that Azrael’s strength was quite extraordinary.Together with his family’s influence, if anyone dared to assassinate him, their entire families would be burned to the ground.That said, a few did try to kill him when he started to learn martial arts. Now that he was well-known, nobody dared to attempt something like that.Without bothering to take action, Azrael pointed at the killer.The security guards immediately pulled out their firearms, and surrounded the killer completely.The welcome lady finally raised her head, but she wasn’t looking at Azrael; her gaze was locked on Kairi. Then, she glanced at Harvey.Harvey returned her gaze calmly. If it wasn’t for Kairi and Arlet, he would’ve dealt with the killer by then.The situation was in utter chaos. Nobody could know if there were more killers hidden in the crowd. It was best for Harvey to sit back and watch for the time being.“No need to keep her alive,” Azrael said, as the security guards stepped up.They
Keeka turned her hand, revealing a silver dagger. Then, she aimed it right at Azrael’s throat.Azrael narrowed his eyes, not moving an inch—as if he was scared witless.But as soon as Keeka got closer, he finally threw a punch.Wham!An explosive sound could be heard in the air; the power of his punch was terrifying.Keeka’s expression changed; she pressed the tip of her dagger against Azrael’s fist, using the momentum to turn in Kairi’s direction.A diversion!Everyone was fooled!Her target had been Kairi all along!She did everything to misdirect everyone!In Keeka’s eyes, Kairi’s defenses were the weakest.The security guards had Azrael completely surrounded. Nobody could react quickly enough.The security guards wanted to pull the trigger, but they could only use their bare fists since they were afraid of harming Kairi and the others.Even then, everyone could tell that they were too slow.Right as Keeka thought that she was about to pierce Kairi’s throat…Slap!Ha
At nine o’clock in the evening, Harvey returned to the Zimmer family’s villa.He initially planned to head to Fortune Hall, but he felt like he should explain himself after seeing Mandy leave so suddenly.“You’re home already?”Mandy seemed to have been waiting for him in the living room for a long time.The tea in front of her had already gone cold. She hadn’t taken even a single sip.She felt very complicated when she saw Harvey walk in, but she held back her feelings. She glared coldly at him. “Heh! You still know how to come back?”Lilian walked out of the kitchen with a cup of tea, which she sipped while she sized up Harvey.“You still care about our little family after clinging to Azrael Bolton?”“Should I be thanking you?!”Mandy wanted to speak up for Harvey, but she shut her mouth in anger after thinking about Kairi. She clearly wanted an explanation from Harvey.“Mandy told us everything! If you want to be the Patel family’s live-in son-in-law, then get out of her
Harvey stopped after hearing Mandy’s words.She was clearly jealous, but she was still thinking about him. It would be inappropriate for him to just leave like that.“Fine! I’ll get along with this b*stard!”Lilian stepped forward, then looked at Harvey with a cold smile.“I’ll do this for my daughter’s sake!”“But you need to explain yourself…”Harvey scowled. “Explain what?”“Tell me…” Lilian said. “How you made Saul and Kellan fawn on you, and how you made Azrael look up to you to the point he invited you to dinner.”Lilian couldn’t believe that Harvey was being pampered by everyone.If it was Silas, she would’ve understood it instantly.But that wasn’t the case at all.Thinking about Kairi, Lilian laughed coldly. ‘What kind of luck does this b*stard have to get on Kairi Patel’s side?’Harvey glanced at Mandy; he knew this was actually what she wanted to know.He sighed.“There’s nothing to explain.”“Besides, you wouldn’t believe me if I did.”Lilian burst out laugh
“Prince York?”Lilian laughed when she heard that.“You still believe that, Mandy?”“What a joke!”“If he’s actually Prince York, why would he need to give his services as a geomancy expert?”“If that’s the case, why would he need to be Kairi’s kept man in the first place?”“Why is Queenie York the current head of the Yorks of Hong Kong, and not him?”“Do you really think I’d still believe all that now?”“His so-called background, power, and connections…”“Are just there because he’s a kept man!”“He’s just clinging to different women at this point!”“Let’s just talk about Golden Sands!”“Without Kairi, what can he even do?!”“Saul, Kellan, and Azrael…”“They’re only pampering him because he has the support of the hidden family!”“When Kairi’s done with him…”“Do you think he’d still get the chance to stand in front of us?”Lilian threw a stack of documents on the coffee table.“I asked Silas to look into this.”“Kairi Patel, also known as the Poison Fairy!”“The me
Harvey didn’t stay in the villa after his argument with Lilian and Mandy. He went back to the Fortune Hall immediately after.He had already dealt with a lot of things early in the morning.After his fight with Waylon, Fortune Hall had become very well-known.Harvey didn’t even have the time to have a drink. He had no choice but to make Reece and Rodney take care of the place as part of their training.If they did a good job, he promised to fix Waylon’s Book of Changes and teach them everything.The two were a little unhappy at first, but they were ecstatic when they heard Harvey’s promise. They happily worked their butts off soon after.Harvey was a lot less pressured, since two of his disciples were working as well. Even so, he only had time to rest in the afternoon.Seeing that the hall was filled with customers, he decided to buy some things at the geomancy market.The paper and cinnabar were all leftovers provided by Reece. If Harvey wanted to attract Evermore, he’d have t
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
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
