Simon Zimmer felt extremely awkward. He hated Harvey York to the bone.‘Not only did that b*stard snuff my fire, he even made me embarrass myself in public!‘Goddamnit!Simon looked gloomy.“My live-in son-in-law thinks that gem is his! He wouldn’t let me have it no matter what!“I chased him out of the house. He has the gem…Simon was about to cough up blood.‘That goddamn b*stard!‘This is his fault!‘My reputation’s done for!’Lilian Yates gritted her teeth.“B*stard! That damned filth!”Silas John and Alma John were filled with glee in their eyes after seeing the look on Simon and Lilian’s faces.‘Harvey’s finished for sure!’Kian Foster froze before showing a smile on his face.“You can’t say that.“Everyone was there!“He found the gem. He bought the statue with his money. He even has the receipt.“The gem’s his to own!“It’s inappropriate for you to take it from him.“Think closely. If Caesar’s Augustea wasn’t revealed in the first place, would you have insis
“Copper coin?”Kian Foster casually glanced over.His entire body trembled before he frantically bent down to pick up the coin with tender care.The others were utterly shocked before they ran over with their arms out.“Let me see! Let me see it!” exclaimed the others excitedly.“Show it to me too! Hand it over!”Simon Zimmer got curious after seeing the sight.“What’s so good about that? It’s just something from a random stall, right?”Kian completely ignored Simon before pulling out his instrument to inspect the coin.He told someone to grab a bowl of water before slowly putting the coin in.Mandy Zimmer and the others were confused. They did not know what was going on at the moment.Thud thud thud!The water’s surface was pulsating, as if the coin was the mouth of a fountain.A faint projection of a gazebo could be seen underneath the surface.It seemed a little fantastical but felt like something that once existed.“The Cinder Coin!“It’s said that a king of ancient
Mandy Zimmer looked down before seeing Nova Anderson’s face.Mandy immediately lifted her before speaking.“What is it? You can also tell me.”Nova kept shaking her head.“It’s useless telling you this, Mandy!“You need to get Harvey York here! Harvey’s our family, right? I need him to tell Mr. Bolton to release my mother!“She’s been suffering in jail for the longest time! She can’t eat or sleep properly. She also keeps getting bullied by the people inside…“Harvey—no, Sir York saved Lilian! He can save my mother too!“Tell him to forget about the past! We’re relatives, right?! We’re bound by blood!”Tears were flowing down Nova’s face. It was a miserable sight.Lilian Yates felt annoyed after hearing those words.“Enough nonsense, Nova!“That b*stard had nothing to do with me getting bailed!“Young Master John’s brother got me out!“Isn’t that right?!”Lilian pridefully glanced at Silas John, as if he was her capable son-in-law.Silas’ eyes twitched before showing an
Harvey York was not thinking about the Zimmer family’s incident after returning to Fortune Hall.He believed everything would be revealed in due time, just like the Royal Clubhouse incident.More importantly, his mind was set on Evermore.He called Kairi Patel when he thought about the situation.After a few rings, the call finally got through.Kairi’s sweet voice could be heard from the other side.“Hello, my dear Sir York. Don’t you have to rest at night?”Harvey looked at the clock. He felt speechless when he realized it had not even gone past ten o’clock.“You sleep that early?“Enough chatter. Did you get anything out of Tosu and the others?”Kairi sighed before hearing countless screams on the other side of the phone.“I used everything I could,” she replied after letting Harvey hear the things happening there.“I asked everything I could too.“These people are disciples of the Oeus Temple. They’re pretty impressive…“But they’re no different than the lackeys in Eve
On the next day, early in the morning. After running around the place the entire morning, Harvey York told Thomas Burton to fetch Xynthia Zimmer together.To avoid an awkward situation by bumping into the Zimmer family, he specifically asked Thomas to drive an outdated BMW Seven Series.Thomas was a little confused but still agreed.Four o’clock in the afternoon, the car was on the way to the Golden Sands International Airport.It was a smooth ride at first, but when the car came to an intersection, a Porsche 718 sped through before quickly making a U-turn.Thomas stepped on the brake out of shock, but the old car brakes were not as responsive. The car slammed right into the side of the Porsche, completely deforming the door of the passenger’s seat.Harvey frowned while he was sitting behind the car.“Just give them the money.”The Porsche was the one that broke traffic laws, but he did not want to waste any more time there.“Got it. I’ll handle this.”Thomas pulled out his w
“I’m giving you three minutes!“You’ll pay me seventy-six thousand dollars right now!“If you don’t, I’ll get people to break your damn legs!”The woman pulled out her phone, as if she was about to call for backup.Thomas Burton frowned.“Can’t you be a little more reasonable about this?”“Reasonable?The woman let out a cold chuckle.“How old even are you? You don’t know that background, authority, and status are the most essential things in this world?“Laws are made to trick peasants like you!“They’re useless against people from the upper social circle like us!”After seeing the woman being so headstrong, Thomas put away his wallet with a cold expression.“Fine. If that’s the case, we’ll call the cops then.”He planned to call a cab to send Harvey York away before having a long chat with the woman…Slap!Right as Thomas pulled out his phone, the woman was infuriated, thinking he was trying to call the cops.“How dare you use the cops against me, you b*stard?!”Thom
“You b*stard! You damn b*stard! How dare you hit me?!“Do you want to die?!“You know who I am?!”The woman finally came to her senses before she started screaming in unbridled rage.Slap slap slap!Harvey York completely ignored her as he slapped her around again, causing her to scream in pain while stumbling back.“Come! Tell me who you are!“Or rather, tell me who’s backing you for you to act this bold.”The woman was filled with anger when she heard the words she would usually use against other people.She was a princess! She had never been treated this way her entire life!She wanted to talk back at Harvey but feared him being reckless and rude.“Give me five minutes! I’ll get someone here to beat you up!” the woman screamed angrily while covering her face.“Fine.”Harvey slapped the woman in the face again.Then, he wiped his hand with some tissue with an indifferent expression.“I’ll even give you ten minutes.“Get whoever you want here.“If you can do what you
Vroom!Anita Jean was quite capable, after all. In just ten minutes, a few vans already drove over.A lot of fierce-looking people with weapons could be seen.That said, the people looked quite familiar…When they jumped out of the vans, a few Mercedes Benz charged in front.Harvey York recognized the license plates.The cars stopped in front of the Porsche before a dozen people strutted out with prideful expressions.Thomas Burton could not help but glance at Harvey after seeing these people. It was the Zimmer family…Lilian Yates was standing in front.Thomas did not see this coming at all. What a small world.“What happened to you, Anita?Lilian did not even see Harvey when she locked eyes with Anita.“Who did this to you?! Tell me!She also pulled Gabriel Lee out of the car.“Gabriel’s your new godbrother, my new godson!“These people are his lackeys!“They all do the heavy lifting! Each of them is stronger than the last!“I’ll make whoever did this to you pay!“E
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
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
