“Get your invitations out already!” Brent Silva shouted, his tone aggressive.“We don’t need it.” Harvey York replied calmly.“Hahaha! Captain, did you hear that? They don’t even have one! He even said that they don’t need one!”Brent Silva laughed his heart out.“This live-in son-in-law does seem suspicious. Maybe he came in by climbing over the wall!”The captain however was still skeptical, and something seemed off to him.Yet because of his duty, he immediately let out an order to his subordinates.“Take these people to the security room. Find out what their deal is, then decide what to do with them!”Simon Zimmer and his family were frightened and horrified.If they were interrogated, they’d definitely be forced out of the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard!The rest of the Zimmer family might still be waiting outside.How embarrassing would that be for him and his family if they got kicked out just like that?Were that to happen, they wouldn’t know what to do.“Wait! Sist
The bodyguard captain was also looking at Harvey York with disdain. However, he understood that if he wanted to climb the ranks in the York family, he shouldn’t be too rash.He sized Harvey York up and calmly replied, “Alright! Let’s see if Manager York really does know you, live-in son-in-law!”Brent Silva was ecstatic.‘Looks like the next part of this play is going to get even more exciting!’A crowd now gathered around all of them. Simon Zimmer and his family all hung their heads down in shame.Embarrassing!Truly embarrassing!The captain swiftly sent Manager York a text.The next moment, his phone immediately rang.After hearing what the person said on the other side of the phone, the captain’s face immediately changed.His gaze fell on Harvey York, this time filled with fear.Even his knees began to grow weak.He couldn’t believe he was trying to cause trouble to the legendary…“I understand… Manager York… I understand…”The captain was trembling as he spoke.Br
“It’s simple.”“We might not have any invitations, but we came in through the security check.”“Since we got in, that means that there are no suspicions about our identity.”“Clearly, Brent Silva was the one causing all the commotion and disrupting the banquet.”“You all saw the crowd that gathered her just now, right? How terrible must that have been?”“I don’t know who this Prince York is, but I think he won’t like people disrupting his banquet.”“Not just Brent Silva. I assume even Leon Silva would get thrown out like that if he caused trouble here.” Harvey York said naturally.Simon Zimmer nodded in agreement.“That must be it. I did hear before that the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard has a lot of rules.”“In this place, nobody would care about your identity if you could get in legally.”“But if you cause a ruckus in here, you’d be thrown out immediately regardless of your status!”“I see, no wonder the invitations are so expensive!” Lilian Yates said with a thoughtful ex
Simon Zimmer’s expression changed. He added quietly, “Maybe I should get someone to bring gifts here. There should still be enough time.”Lilian Yates immediately frowned.“If we just start preparing right now, won’t Prince York think we don’t care much for him?”Simon Zimmer's face darkened even more. That seemed like a high possibility.They were being passive, it was truly hard for them to think of a plan.Mandy Zimmer stood up.“Father, mother. Stay here for now, I’ll go prepare us a generous gift. Nothing too cheap. We should be alright.”Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates nodded in response. At this point, the only thing they could do was to bring out the big bucks for a gift. Harvey York pulled Mandy’s hand and said, “Darling, I don’t think there’s a need for that. Prince York has seen and experienced every luxury in the world. He won’t care about gifts.”“Even if he doesn’t, it wouldn’t matter.” Mandy Zimmer said. “We should still do our part and show our etiquette.” Har
At the Silver Nimbus Courtyard.In the VIP room on the second floor.A silhouette stood with hands behind her back, gazing at the man below who was blended in with the crowd. Her beautiful eyes showed delight.Not far from her, a man who was playing chess got up and stood beside her.He too looked at the indifferent man standing among the crowd, complicated waves surging in his eyes.After a while, he started to speak.“Queenie, that’s your big brother. Aren’t you going to greet him?”“You poured your heart and soul out for this banquet, after all.”When he was finished with his words, he gazed at her quietly.He hailed from the impressive York lineage and the first of the four masters of the family, Quinton York.The woman before him was Queenie York.Quinton York’s expressions did not change much, but Quinton’s words had a deeper meaning. The way he spoke was as if he was teasing and testing her at the same time.She acted like she didn’t hear anything he said and continu
Yvonne Xavier’s eyes lit up and she smiled. She shot a discreet glance at a particular direction without attracting any attention.That man shook his head slightly, and her smile widened.“Everyone, I have something to announce.”“My CEO said he is no longer the heir of the York family.”“Calling him Prince York would be improper.”“From today onward, everyone can address him as Mr. York.”At this, the guests fell in an uproar.“Prince York was no longer Prince York.” What did that mean?Maybe the truth was truly just like what the rumors spoke of?Prince York had left Buckwood because he lost the battle for authority in the York family?If he did fail, then why did he come back?Plus, the York family went out of their way to organize a banquet just for him at the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard.Manager York was not present, not to mention the four masters of the Yorks.What was all this supposed to mean?While everyone present made their own private guesses, Yvonne Xavier
When would Prince York arrive?This was the question everyone was concerned about.Yvonne Xavier flashed them all a pleasant smile.“Actually, the CEO had already arrived a while ago. But he is usually very discreet and doesn’t attend events like this. For him to come today is also a surprise to me.”Yvonne Xavier’s statement caused uproar in the guests.Immediately, they started scouring the hall for Prince York.Yvonne Xavier coldly added, “Everyone, what you’re doing right now is disrespectful toward my CEO.”“He ordered me to tend to everyone. So if there’s any problems, naturally I’ll be the one to handle it. If you need anything, please do let me know as well.”Simon Zimmer’s face changed after hearing her words.“We’re finished! She’s hinting at everyone to bring out their gifts. We don’t have anything, we’re done for!”Lilian Yates’ face had also darkened.Everyone understood what Yvonne Xavier meant as well. Of course it’s that they should bring out their gifts!“T
Simon Zimmer was perplexed.Harvey York was displeased. Despite his efforts, it turned out that his father-in-law truly wasn’t meant for big things.Without a second’s hesitation, he looked at Mandy Zimmer.“Mandy. If you trust me, stand up right now. This is a great opportunity!”Mandy Zimmer hesitated for a split-second, but then stood up.Instantly, everyone’s gaze shifted toward her.Yvonne Xavier saw her and was surprised as well.“Ah, Mrs. Mandy Zimmer.”“The CEO was rather disheartened, thinking he might not have another opportunity to work with you after he left Niumhi. Who would’ve thought we’d cross paths here?”“No wonder the CEO looks up to you so highly! I’ll report back to him in full detail about your respect for him.”Everyone present was shocked.Before, they didn't know how Mandy Zimmer and her family managed to sneak in here.Now they understood. She and her family already had connections to Prince York before.Maybe getting closer to the family would be
"I'll give you ten minutes to walk out of there without your clothes on! If you do that, I won't kill anymore of your bodyguards. If you're still not here in ten minutes, then I'm sorry, but the flames will consume you. I'll remember to visit you at your grave next year!" Sora laughed strangely after that.Everyone who heard his laughter could only feel a chill in their bones as they felt disgusted. Mandy's expression became even darker. She did not refuse him immediately, though. While she knew he was playing a game of cat and mouse, those ten minutes might just be enough to save them.-At the same time. Outside of the manor. Sora and his group of confidantes had already arrived at the entrance of the manor. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the terrace. After he waved his hands, his confidante spread out and sealed the remaining entrances.Next to Sora was a swordsman with a mustache. His eyes were full of spirit. It was obvious that he was an elite, the kind who could crush al
"Watch out!" It was at this time when Seven suddenly pulled Mandy over to the side, as his expression darkened. At the same time, one of the pieces of ballistic glass shook and fell on the floor. Then, bolts that seemed like rain stormed into the terrace, falling right where Mandy was standing.If it was not because of Seven's quick actions, Mandy might have already become a human pincushion. She was immediately covered in cold sweat. While she had personally grown and become a successful businesswoman, she had never been in many of these kinds of life and death situations.Whoosh!It was as if the people outside had noticed an opening, they continuously fired the Repeating Crossbow. As they did that, one of the bodyguards who could not dodge in time collapsed on the ground as he held his thigh. A bolt pierced through his thigh, and he immediately lost his ability to fight.Mandy quickly said, "Quick! Drag him over! It's too dangerous over there!"The two bodyguards trembled, and
"Ms. Mandy, you should run now! Run from the back! I can still hold them up for about 15 minutes!" Seven said in a bitter voice as he peeked outside from the door's gap from inside the manor. "If you don't, we won't be able to escape once they rush in. We're almost out of ammo. If we don't fight our way out, we'll all end up dead!"Mandy hesitated a little when she saw how Seven was becoming somewhat concerned and said, "Sure. We'll leave from the back door. But they're here for me. I can't escape. All of you should go and I'll cover you!"Mandy's expression was resolute. Seven was slightly stunned before saying, "Don't joke about something like that, Ms. Mandy. While I'm not one of your followers, but as a bodyguard of the Jeans of Mor'du, there's no way I can escape before you have safely retreated. If I do that, not only will I be unable to face the family, but I also won't be able to face myself and stay in this world!"All the bodyguards exchanged looks and said, "That's right,
The young man in the white suit was not that old. He was at least in his mid-twenties. However, his cheeks were somewhat red. It was obvious that years of excessive drinking and womanizing have left him too depleted for anything to be able to help him. But even then, he still looked in front with greed and obsession, as if wanting to push the woman in the manor to the ground and tear her apart.It was obvious that this man was the scion of the Origin Sword Style, Sora Yamamoto.Sora did not think much about the death of the Origin Sword Style elites. He did not even feel much about their death, as if their death had nothing to do with him."Sir, it's not that the woman is strong. It's the simple fact that no one expected her to have the Royal Flush with her… And she has plenty of it too. From the results of us testing her, the woman isn't saving the Royal Flush for something else when she had her bodyguards use them. I suspect that she had an unlimited supply of it.""You idiot!" S
"Too weak," Harvey sighed. In the next instant, he lifted his right foot and planted it on a broken piece of rock. Instantly, the rock shot out and headed straight to Sverker's throat. It was obvious that Harvey did not wish to leave the Origin Sword Style's number one elite alive."You fool…!" Sverker's entire soul was shuddering as he could feel Death coming for him. He let out a roar and all the energy within his body started to flow, wanting to use that to stop Harvey's attack. However, his thoughts were faster than he could act.The moment he wanted to fight back, he could feel the taste of blood in his mouth. The small rock had already pierced through his throat. In that instant, Sverker's thoughts instantly stopped as he lost the strength to struggle. Then, he collapsed on the ground just like that.There was anger, despair, and even doubt in his eyes.He could not believe that as an elite of the Origin Sword Style, as one of the few most powerful men in Sky Plane, how he en
When the palm strike was going to reach Sverker, Harvey changed his palm strike into a finger strike. He flicked his finger at the edge of the blade.Clank!"Gah!"Sverker seemed shocked as his body shook. There was even blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was in a terrible state as he took a few steps back."Mr. Sverker!" All the women cried out at the same time, with shocked expressions. They could not believe that not only did Harvey manage to easily block the legendary Three Slashes, but most importantly he was able to force Sverker some distance back with just the flick of his finger!He was beyond terrifying!"Damn you, kid! Do you think this is my full power?" Sverker's temper was at boiling point after the continuous failures as he gritted his teeth. "I will send you to Hell with all three slashes fused into one!""I better be the one sending you to Hell. I'm already bored with your sword technique," replied Harvey casually. Before Sverker could even attack,
"Your life is worth so little and you want to drag us along to hell? Who do you think you are? All of you are just the same! Selfish to the core!" the woman yelled at Harvey. It was clear that no matter what Harvey did, she wouldn't like it.Harvey glanced at her and said, "We can forget a moment about how your Mr. Sverker is the one who wanted to die alongside me out of shame and anger, let's talk about you. Who else can you blame but yourself by wasting time here instead of running? Not to mention, he can't do anything to me even if he can slash time and the universe."You have overestimated Sverker. He's nothing but trash. I simply wanted to see how powerful the Sword Style Origin's technique is." Harvey then gave Sverker a look. "But at this level, I can easily dispel it with just one strike.""You…" Sverker was so angry that he shuddered. He wasn't going to waste any more time. He gritted his teeth and once again slashed at where Harvey was standing."Timely Slash!"A
"Is that right?" Harvey asked the woman.He looked at Sverker's dark expression."Oh, he's being that nice? Why not give me a few more concessions? Why don't you go easy on me and miss all three slashes?""Damn you! Damn you all!" Sverker's expression turned dark by Harvey's snickering. He pounced forward again. In just an instant, he already appeared before Harvey. His body suddenly swayed and separated into eight afterimages; all of them instantly slashed from all eight directions."Earthly Slash!"Whoosh!As Sverker made that attack, a screeching sound filled the entire marsh. Sverker attacked Harvey like a flash of lightning. The moment the blade almost reached Harvey, a dreadful aura expanded from it, as if a black light was covering the surface of the blade.The attack seemed to have come from the depths of Hell itself, carrying the wrath of countless ghosts.Harvey's expression was cold as his fist turned into a palm strike, and he attacked straight ahead. His attack w
"Idiot!" Sverker smiled coldly as his figure flashed as he pounced forth like a bolt of lightning. The sword in his hand was immediately pulled out from its sheath, like a shooting star across the sky.Compared to the attack just now, this attack was simply and much more direct. There wasn't even much strength behind it. However, those in the know would know that an attack like this was the most powerful.Sverker believed he could easily kill Harvey on the spot."So what if you defeated all the six schools? So what if you defeated all the prodigies from Country I? So what if you defeated Mark?" Sverker smiled coldly as he attacked. "All the so-called True Warriors were joking to me… Because I am the one who kills True Warriors!" Sverker smiled coldly as he unleashed his first strike."Heavenly Slash!" A scarlet light suddenly flashed through Sverker's blade. Harvey raised his head; the attack that was going to split the sky had arrived. Before the blade even reached h
