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
After Kade Bolton and the others had left, Harvey York went to wash his face before leaving the bar with a bottle of water in his hand.It was oddly quiet outside. Nobody even dared to breathe at this moment.But even so, a lot of people were trying to peek inside. They wanted to see how Harvey was going to end up.A group of people stood together while shivering in the night wind.Harvey could immediately tell that it was Xynthia Zimmer and the others.Harlem Lee and the others were trembling in excitement, as if they barely managed to survive.At the same time, they were doing their best to persuade Xynthia.Imani and Kenzie were pretty headstrong, trying to leave with Xynthia.She shook her head, pushing the people away when she thought of heading inside alone.That said, Imani, Kenzie, and Dayna always stopped her from doing that.An altercation could be heard, making quite a few people turn their heads.That said, Kade Bolton was the instigator. They were not planning t
“It’s fine.“You didn’t know that we would bump into those people.Harvey York patted Xynthia Zimmer’s back to comfort her.“You didn’t ditch me either.“I asked you to leave.“I should be the one apologizing.“Besides, a young lady like you wouldn’t do anything good for me anyway.“I’m fine now, aren’t I?“That’s what’s important, right?”Harvey raised his finger to wipe off Xynthia’s tears.“I’m sorry, Harvey! I’m really sorry!” exclaimed Xynthia.“I tried everything! I tried calling Tyson Woods, but it didn’t go through…“I wanted to call the cops, but the busy tone kept playing…“Sob sob sob…”Xynthia felt completely helpless when she was finally relieved about the situation.“Stop taking advantage of Xynthia already, Harvey!“How shameless can you get?!Imani disdainfully walked over before prying the two away from each other.“You only escaped the situation unscathed because Mr. Lee called his godsister!“If it weren’t for him, you would’ve been dead by now!“
“Besides, Kade Bolton and the others were awful!“They caused all this trouble! What does it have to do with us?!“Right, Harvey. Speaking of, Mr. Lee did help with our safety.“He called many people and also gave so much of his money.“If it weren’t for him, judging from what Young Master Bolton can do, he wouldn’t easily let us off the hook.”Xynthia Zimmer showed a grateful expression toward Harlem Lee.After all, he made many calls as soon as everyone got out.When he got to his final number, the fierce men in suits got an order to let him and the others go.In Xynthia’s eyes, Harlem used many of his connections to help.Harvey faintly smiled while looking at him.“Pretty impressive, Harlem!“Just tell me what you did to keep us safe! If you have spent any money, I’ll return the full amount right now,” said Xynthia.“Forget it. It’s not a lot, anyway. I’ll get the money back after two more roles.Harlem waved with a smile, as if he did something significant.“Kade is
Harlem Lee felt a little guilty after saying those words. He got angry when he saw Harvey York’s faint smile.“What are you looking at me for?!“Are you angry that I’m taking Xynthia’s money?!“I’ll tell you something! You would’ve been dead if it wasn’t for her!”“Are you sure you’ll take Xynthia’s money?” asked Harvey.“And you’re also taking that much?”Harlem’s heart skipped a beat.“She’s the one offering!“She’ll feel bad if I don’t take it!”Xynthia nodded.“That’s right! Let’s just return the favor!”Then, she gave Harvey a few looks. Anything that could be solved with money was no problem at all.“Your connections and your role in the incident…“The others may not know, but surely you do,” said Harvey, calmly looking at Harlem.His eyes twitched as if he knew that he was already exposed.“What do you mean by that, you b*stard?!“Are you saying that I lied to you?!“You ungrateful b*stard!“I spent so much effort just to get you out, yet you still don’t trust
“Hey! Do you see that?“That Audi A8 probably has a limited-edition V12-engine with five sevens for a license plate!”Imani and the others walked toward the parking lot while they were making fun of Harvey York.They were instantly excited after seeing the black Audi right before their eyes.For people like them, they fully understood what the license plate meant in a place like Golden Sands.An Audi did not mean much compared to cars like Bugattis and Lamborghinis…But ordinary people would not be able to get their hands on such an extraordinary license plate.Imani and the others rushed forward to take selfies with the car.“My God! This is a limited-edition Audi! The car’s at least seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars!“You’re underestimating the price of the car!“Audis of this level is only bought by first-in-commands! It’d cost millions of dollars!“The money isn’t all! The car is the symbol of people’s extraordinary status!“Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to g
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
