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together.To avoid an awkward situation by bumping into the Zimmer family, he specifically asked Thomas to drive an outdated BMW Seven Series.Thomas was a little confused but still agreed.Four o’clock in the afternoon, the car was on the way to the Golden Sands International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
Harvey York continued to slap Anita Jean around without hesitation. He would not pull any punches against a woman like that.After a dozen slaps in the face, Anita stumbled backward.She furiously covered her face while pointing at Harvey.“You!“You b*stard!“You need to help me, Aunty!“This b*stard’s just insane!”“Harvey…”Lilian Yates and the others were showing horrible expressions after recognizing Harvey.After getting utterly disrespected the previous day, they knew he was not the same man he was before.His power was still quite impressive, even if he only came this far because of another woman.That was why they decided to avoid him every chance they could.Nobody thought Anita would have such a huge conflict with him the moment she set foot in Golden Sands.It was extremely awkward then.Lilian and Gabriel Lee felt a little embarrassed. They did not know how exactly they were going to threaten Harvey.After all, Harvey could just crush the two with a single p
“I have to be at the airport, so I don’t have time to waste here.“We can let the cops handle this. They’ll lock her up for as long as they wish.“Or, you can get her to kneel, slap herself around, and admit her fault.Harvey seemed indifferent.“Of course, you can come at me if you don’t like either of those choices. I’m perfectly fine with that too.“That said, you’ll have to deal with the consequences yourselves.”Harvey’s fighters took a step forward.Their cold gaze was filled with murderous intent.The sight was just terrifying.“You’re him!“Harvey York!“The useless live-in son-in-law!“No. You’re the kept man who got kicked out of the family!”Anita Jean finally realized who Harvey was.She was still a little scared before, but she finally managed to muster the courage to get angry again.She thought she was going against some rich young master prince from a wealthy family…But she did not expect he was just useless filth.“How dare useless filth like you act
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
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
