Seeing everyone’s attitude, Kade wasn’t in a rush to take action.He looked at Harvey mockingly, his eyes narrowed. He wanted to kill Harvey, but he also wanted to torture Harvey’s heart first.Harvey would feel true pain if his dear sister-in-law betrayed him as well.“I’ll let you go if you stay away from your brother-in-law.”Kade smiled faintly at Xynthia.“If not, I’ll take you out with him!“You’re young—you have all the time in the world to enjoy things!“With one word from me, you’ll be the entertainment industry’s brightest star!“And if you leave that man for me…“I won’t lay a single finger on you unless you want me to!“Well? Pretty good deal, huh?“I never blink when I kill, but I always keep my promises!“Make your pick!”Xynthia’s eyes lit up. She started to tremble.“I… I…”Harvey was a little curious. He looked at Xynthia.He knew how she’d usually react to situations, but he was interested to know how she would fare when faced with power.Xynthia’s
‘What did he just say to me?Kade Bolton guffawed after hearing Harvey’s words.‘What a joke!‘What the hell is going on today?!‘A live-in son-in-law without any background fearlessly slapped me before everyone, then asked me if I’m capable enough to kill him?!’His reputation in Golden Sands would be completely sullied if word were to spread.His family’s dignity would be gone in an instant.If Harvey did not die now, Kade would turn into the city’s biggest joke sooner or later.Without a second thought, he let out a horrifying laugh.‘This is bad!’‘He’s finished!’‘There’s no way to bury the hatchet now!’‘Not just Harvey, even the king wouldn’t be able to mediate the situation!’Harvey kept challenging Kade without any regard for his ability…Harlem Lee and the others were filled with despair after seeing the sight.Even they did not know how they were going to end up.“How boring. Anyone would call themselves young masters nowadays…”Harvey heaved a sigh before f
Harvey York let go of Xynthia Zimmer’s hand before leaning into her ear.“You should also leave with the others.”Xynthia froze before she furiously shook her head.“I won’t! I’ll die with you if I have to!“I can’t just leave!”“Go. I’ll be fine,” reassured Harvey.“Trust me. When have I ever lied to you?“Many people are watching. You won’t be able to do anything here. Those people also might just use you to threaten me.“Call Tyson Woods when you’re outside. Maybe he has friends here to save me.“Even if he doesn’t pick up, you can also call the cops.”Xynthia finally got through after hearing Harvey’s words.She would only be a burden if she stayed. She would be more useful if she were outside.Harvey glanced back at Kade Bolton after seeing Xynthia being reluctant.“At least keep the woman out if you want to come at me, Young Master Bolton,” he said playfully.“Release her, and you’ll be less embarrassed when I get your face all swollen.”Kade briefly froze before h
Harvey York smiled faintly.“I never kneel.“Of course, I would happily accept if you’re going to do that instead.“I’m a natural softie. I usually would go easy on the people who kneel before me.”Harvey finished his alcohol before casually dropping the cup to the ground.It was a complete mess.Harvey glanced at the sight before him, as if he wanted Kade Bolton to kneel there.‘This b*stard’s actually insane!’The beautiful women could not help but pout their lips with utter disdain.It was their first time seeing someone this capable of showing off.“Heh! Are you making yourself some ground to kneel on?“What do you think you’re doing?“You’re just asking for punishment at this point!Kade twirled the bottle in his hand with a faint smile when he calmly stepped forward.Loud cracks could be heard coming from under his leather soles.A menacing expression could clearly be seen on his face.“Harvey, right?“Since you’re being this bold, I’ll give you some respect.“T
The person who had the badge was none other than the live-in son-in-law…Not only was it a shocking discovery, but it also put everyone in disbelief.Harvey York did not seem like he would do anything significant to the family initially.That said, Kade Bolton would not dare lash out any longer.He took a deep breath before showing a stern expression.“Who are you?!”“Why don’t you ask your father that?Harvey seemed indifferent when he wiped his hand with some wet wipes.“Your grandmother got to live longer because of me.“Your father avoided an assassination because of me.“Who do you think I am, then?”Kade’s expression changed instantly.He was a playboy indulging in his debaucher and a usually arrogant and dominant man…But this did not mean he lacked affection toward his family. Rather, he valued his family immensely.He knew exactly what had happened to the family.At this very moment, he froze as his eyes were frantically twitching.“You’re Master York?!”Kade’
Kade Bolton was making a twisted expression.He was enraged. He was filled with disbelief.He was arrogant but understood that his father was an extremely prominent figure in Golden Sands.Since Harvey York spoke in such a dignified tone when he talked to Azrael Bolton that way, it was enough to prove just how powerful he was.Kade instinctively shuddered. He felt utterly speechless, thinking he got into deep trouble.His group of companions trembled in fear. Their legs were getting limp to the point where they were about to kneel.“Is that so…Azrael froze before replying with an apologetic tone.“If you can, I’d like to talk to that person.“If he’s actually the useless filth from the family, then I’ll make sure to give you a statement you’ll be happy with.”Azrael’s tone was filled with rage and murderous intent.“Of course.Harvey smiled before hooking his finger before Kade.“Mr. Bolton’s looking for you.“Are you coming here on your own? Or do you want me to go ther
Naturally, Azrael Bolton knew how Harvey York operated. Rather than begging him for mercy, he only allowed him to do whatever he wanted.Harvey faintly smiled.“You’re exaggerating, Mr. Bolton. I only called to ensure I wasn’t going up against someone from the same family.“Since he’s actually your son, then it’ll be easy to handle.“No matter the case, he’s still my junior.“As an adult, I can’t just embarrass myself arguing with him now, can I?”Azrael let out a bitter chuckle.“Thank you for that.”Later, Azrael hung up on the phone.He did not say anything more. He knew everything would be perfectly fine as long as his son behaved.But if Kade Bolton insisted on going against Harvey, it would be good for him to learn an unforgettable lesson.After all, Kade was arrogant. It was only a matter of time before he went up against someone far more powerful than him.In Azrael’s eyes, Kade was lucky that he challenged Harvey out of everyone.Other people would have had him ki
Kade Bolton suddenly realized why his own father would give in to Harvey York.The remainder of his resentment and rage disappeared into nothing.He did not expect that Harvey was also a martial arts expert.After seeing what he could do, it was apparent that it would be easy for him to crush everyone in the place.He was probably a league above Azrael Bolton!‘He’s impressive!‘I would’ve been dead if I didn’t listen to my father!’Bam!Harvey did not waste any time. He knew the rich playboy would still have lingering rage if he did not take his lesson to heart.That was why he decided to smash a bottle right on Kade’s head.Blood spurted all over the place when the bottle shattered into pieces.Kade grunted before stumbling back.It was painful. It was a miserable sight, but he would not dare have other thoughts anymore.“You came for my woman, so I smashed your head. You don’t have any qualms about that, do you?”“No!” Kade exclaimed while covering his shaking head.B
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
