The customers looked oddly at Harvey.Even Kade felt a little speechless; Harvey was just an ordinary person. How was he planning to deal with Empire Hall?He couldn’t just scream at them.If he did, it’d be too lame.Ensley looked at her Pont des Amoureux watch.“I don’t have time to waste on a live-in son-in-law like you.“I’m giving you half an hour to see what you’d do.“It doesn’t matter if you get support or report this to authorities.“I’ll take it all!”Hearing Ensley’s mocking tone and seeing Esther’s prideful expression, Harvey smiled. He didn’t pay mind to it all. He knew that he could only make arrogant women like Ensley learn a lesson by making her suffer. Torturing a person’s heart was always more interesting than just killing.Harvey casually poured himself a cup of tea. Meanwhile, Ensley and Esther glared daggers at him.“How much money do you have right now, Kade?”“Less than three hundred million.”“That’s enough.”Harvey nodded, then looked curiously
“If you and Young Master Bolton think you’re capable, you’re more than welcome to buy everything! I’ll give you a twenty percent discount if you do!”Esther glared disdainfully at Harvey. “Well, you might as well just gamble your clothes away.”Naturally, Esther knew it’d already be impressive enough to find anything slightly valuable. If Harvey actually bought all the rocks here, the shop wouldn’t suffer any losses at all.Harvey smiled.“I can’t buy everything, but I can buy around a hundred rocks. Can you give me a fifteen percent discount for that?”“Of course!” Esther chuckled coldly.“Are sure you won’t regret it?” Harvey asked curiously.Esther scoffed. “Empire Hall will never take responsibility for the goods sold. We will never condone any trickery on our customers.”“Enough, Harvey! You’re just a live-in son-in-law. What’s the point of showing off here?” Ensley said, pretending to be nice.“I’d like to see how you’ll explain to the Bolton family once you lose all o
Soon, the total price was revealed—it was eighty million dollars in total.Out of generosity, Esther even gave Kade a member’s discount with a smile. Naturally, she was planning to torture his heart.“The stones just came here, Young Master Bolton. You’re the first customer, too!“To show our sincerity, we’ll provide you with an expert to cut the stones open for free if you want!”Esther’s smile was heinous. Kade found it downright infuriating.Harvey smiled.“Since you’re willing to provide the service, then I’ll gladly take it.“Come on! Open them up, then!”The entire geomancy market’s experts were brought here.They were shocked to see so many stones in front of them, but they quickly went to work.Sounds of engines roared in the main hall, stimulating the crowd’s eyes and nerves.Even in such a chaotic mess, everyone was still waiting for Harvey to make a fool out of himself.No matter the case, there were still eighty million dollars worth of stones! Normally speaki
The people around froze; they were shocked to see all the valuable gemstones in front of their eyes. They had no clue what to say.Kade froze as well, then burst out in laughter.The beautiful workers dropped their phones to the ground, their mouths wide open.Ensley and Esther were dumbfounded, as if they were furiously slapped in the face. They couldn’t believe Harvey actually picked out every single valuable gem in the shop.What’s more, these gems were of the highest grade. Their combined total was close to 1.5 billion dollars.If the gems were put up for auction, the price would be astronomical.In under half an hour, a measly seventy million dollars turned into 1.5 billion! The speed was just ungodly!“My God!”“They’re all valuable gems!”“This is insane! How is this possible?”“Even the country’s best experts wouldn’t be able to do such a thing!”“This is definitely the work of a top-rated geomancy expert!”“I didn’t believe that legendary geomancy experts could sen
Ensley and Esther didn’t know how Harvey managed to pick out every single valuable gemstone.What they knew was that Empire Hall had suffered immense losses because of this!The geomancy market wasn’t all that big. In just a few hours, word of the incident spread like wildfire.How were Ensley and Esther supposed to sell the thousands of stones that remained in the shop?The entire country’s stone gambling circle wasn’t that big, either. Antique businesses related to the John family would probably plummet as well.After all, gamblers bet on chance; they didn’t come here just to give their money away!Seeing Kade wave his subordinates to carry the gemstones away, Ensley and Esther clenched their teeth in rage.They wanted to kill Harvey and steal the gems so badly…Harvey smiled, and stepped forward with his tea in hand.“Well? Are you happy now?“Did I manage to make you suffer?“Shouldn’t you be kneeling by now?”“You b*stard! I won’t let you off the hook that easily!” Est
“You already made 1.5 billion dollars, and ruined the rest of the stones!“How dare you ask for more?“You want us to grovel and make a video about this? Are you kidding me?”Esther was already defeated; she wouldn’t dare compromise any further.Her reputation would be thrown out the window if she did as Harvey said!She’d rather fight to her last breath and protect her dignity.Ensley gritted her teeth, and glared at Harvey.“Bring out everything you’ve got!“We’ll take it all!“You probably won’t be able to do much, anyway!“What are you going to do? Kill us all? Or are you going to slap us around instead?!“If you lay even a single finger on us, you’ll end up horribly! I guarantee it!“Your entire family will suffer because of your arrogance!”Kade walked up as he watched the show.“You should just do as he says.“I’ll ask him to go easy on you two; you don’t need to make a video about it. Just make sure you grovel a few hundred times.“Uncle York’s a geomancy expert
“Master York, this is a painite from the Western Dynasty I’ve been looking into,” the woman said.“It’s said that the scent has passed down through the ages. Help me appraise how much this costs!“I haggled for a long time before finally buying it for three hundred thousand dollars!”Kade and the others immediately looked over.Since Harvey could appraise gemstones, it wouldn’t be hard for him to look at antiques either.Esther’s eyes twitched frantically; she crossed her arms, silent as she maintained her high and mighty attitude without saying a word.Harvey grabbed the painite, and smiled.“The Western Dynasty? Are you sure about that?”He snapped the so-called painite in half.Everyone froze; even Kade was dumbfounded. The middle-aged woman was shocked. She bought the item with three hundred thousand dollars, yet Harvey broke it without even any warning.“How could you do that, Master York?! That’s a national treasure!” she screamed.Harvey gave the two halves of the p
Seeing Harvey leave in such a dashing way, Esther was filled with despair and rage.She had no idea if she was about to turn into a missing person or not.‘That b*stard’s just ruthless! He’s not giving me any chances!’Ensley was on the verge of coughing out blood. Shaking, she pulled out her phone. “Prince Gibson! I’ll sleep with you!“But on one condition!“I need you to kill someone for me!”…“You’re so awesome, Uncle York! You’re definitely my uncle from now on!”Heading back to Fortune Hall, Kade was filled with admiration.“If you need help in the future, just say the word.“I’ll do everything in my power.“I can do whatever you want me to!“No matter how impressive Esther and Ensley are, I imagine they’d be seething with anger for the next few days.“This feel so refreshing! This is way better than just slapping them in the face!“Not only is Empire Hall on the verge of collapse, but they’d also have to pay billions of dollars for the losses!“Ahahaha!”Kade c
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
