The Islanders were unsatisfied after slapping themselves in the face. They even looked at each other before slapping themselves to ensure they were not dreaming.Their faces were completely swollen when they looked at Harvey York with shock and disbelief, thinking they saw the most unbelievable thing.Soren Braff and Darwin Gibson gasped with solemn expressions as well.Not only was Harvey well-versed in martial arts and geomancy arts…He even got Shay Gibson to fight this impressively with just a few simple instructions.People like that were extremely rare.The two decided to cling to Harvey no matter what.They did not want him to be their enemy. They would die horrible deaths if that were the case!Harvey would be enough to put them at ease while giving their enemies despair.As for Shay, she was filled with admiration and praise when she looked at Harvey. She could not believe that such a person actually existed in the world.“One of the top ten in the Island Nations’ yo
After all, even an expert like Monica Vaus was completely crushed.Their lame kung fu would not do any good.They would only make fools out of themselves.They decided that they were going to run away instead.“Did I say that you can leave?”Harvey York clapped his hands, signaling for Shay Gibson and the others to stop the Islanders in their tracks.“We already gave up, Harvey! What else do you want?!”An Islander was furious. He thought he had already given Harvey a lot of respect, yet the feeling was not reciprocated.“I didn’t want anything, but you people wasted so much of my time. I wasn’t surprised by any of you either. I should at least find something worthwhile for my own sake, right?“How about this? I won’t take advantage of you cowards.“Break one of your arms and leave.“Of course, you can decide otherwise, but I’ll break both your arms.”“You better get it straight, Harvey! We’re all nobility from the Island Nations. We have diplomatic immunity! You’ll pay if
“Father and Mother said you wouldn’t dare come anymore since you couldn’t bring Mandy justice!“But you came!“Did Chiba Nobita and the others get what they deserved?”Xynthia Zimmer was excited.Harvey York leaked a smile.“Of course. They got their punishment.“Chiba won’t show up in front of you ever again.“You and the family are safe.”“That’s great!”Xynthia dragged Harvey along when she hopped into the elevator.“Father and Mother aren’t here today. I’m the only one with Mandy.“You should use this chance to talk to her.”The elevator came to the inpatient department floor.Harvey sighed without explaining anything.“Harvey’s here, Mandy!“It’s been a while since you two had some alone time! You should talk to him!“I’ll go out for a midnight snack! Don’t worry!“I’m being thoughtful! I won’t bother you two!”Xynthia shut the door as she giggled.But the moment she did, the smile on her face was immediately replaced by a hint of gloom when she forced herself t
“I want you to leave the city with me!” whispered Mandy Zimmer.“We’ll go as far as we can.“We’ll live where nobody knows us, okay?”Harvey York froze. He had once thought of the same thing but could not leave under such circumstances.Mandy’s body froze, as if she saw Harvey’s reluctance.“You don’t want to?”Harvey kept quiet for a moment.“I do, but at least wait until I finish my business in Golden Sands.”“Golden Sands?“What do you still have to do with this place?“Is it because of Kairi Patel? Or is it about Dayna?”Mandy chuckled coldly with an unspeakably sorrowful expression.“You’re just scum after all, Harvey!“Father and Mother said you’ve been thinking about Xynthia lately!“I even fought for you!“And yet what happened?!“Hmph!”Right as Mandy was about to lash out again, the door was slammed open.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates showed up together.Lilian’s gaze was filled with pride as she glared at Harvey with a cold expression.“I told you I was r
Lilian Yates was furious.“I don’t give a f*ck!“What do you know?!“I finally made contact with Young Master John! He agreed to meet with Mandy!“What are we supposed to do if Harvey and her got back together?!”Simon Zimmer froze before heaving a sigh.If Blaine John actually married Mandy Zimmer, it would be perfect for both the family and the ninth branch.Then again, it would always be bad to force such a relationship!At this point, Simon and Lilian had no say in the situation.***Half an hour later, Harvey York and Mandy arrived at a Western restaurant beside the Rio River.Mandy bought a change of clothes nearby before putting them on, then ordered some food for Harvey without much effort.Harvey looked odd when he saw the food in front of him. These were all of his favorites after all.Harvey showed a profound look. He knew that he was still in Mandy’s heart.If not, she would not have done such a thing in the first place.“What? You’re trying to keep me here b
On the next day, at nine o’clock in the morning. A red Ferrari 488 was parked in front of the Fortune Hall.Harvey York wore a robe, as Mandy Zimmer requested, before sitting on the passenger’s seat.Mandy stepped on the pedal when the car sped off as quick as lightning.Harvey flipped through the Centennial Book in his hand while on the road.“Why would you need to be so careful about this particular client?“I have to wear all this?”Harvey felt the most comfortable wearing his casual clothes and extremely uncomfortable wearing a robe like this.Mandy briefly hesitated.“I just met the client. He has connections with the Jean family and has a lot of power.“That said, he’s a bit of a loner. He’s not that easy to hang out with.“Then again, I heard there’s a huge problem with his house. He has been getting headaches and nightmares all year round. He’d even get palpitations whenever he dozed off during the day.“It’s said that he asked for countless well-known doctors to hel
Mandy Zimmer signaled Harvey York to leave the car when she approached the security guard before the entrance.“Hello. I’m Mandy Zimmer of the Jean family’s ninth branch. I brought a geomancy expert to help,” she said politely.“I already called Ms. Amora beforehand.”The security guard took a few good glances at Mandy before taking his walkie-talkie out. Then, he hung up and pressed a button, opening the gate for Mandy and Harvey to head inside.The two came across an elegant-looking garden.A woman with a pretty face and a beautiful long dress walked out from the villa not far ahead.She was exuding the aura of an upperclassman. She looked just like a high and mighty princess, looking down at the entire world.She glanced at Mandy before calmly speaking.“Hello, Mrs. Zimmer.”She had her arms completely crossed, not wanting to make any sort of contact with Mandy.This was enough to show just how prideful she actually was.Harvey squinted at the woman in front of him. Judgi
At the same time, he recognized the person’s identity.He was Brayan Foster from one of the top ten families.“Mrs. Zimmer’s here, Father!”Amora Foster respectfully stepped forward after seeing the man before her.“She brought a young man who she calls the best geomancy expert in the city.”She was clearly filled with disdain the moment she said those words.Naturally, she was not interested in a young man who took such a title.Even then, she would not kick Harvey out herself. She wanted to let Brayan make the decision instead.Judging from this, it was enough to show just how much she respected her father.“Thank you, Mandy.“The top ten families are banded together. Just come to me if you need any help.“You really don’t have to be this courteous.”Brayan did not seem prideful at all. He stood before politely shaking hands with Mandy like a true gentleman.Harvey spread his energy to scout the place before understanding Brayan’s situation.“You’re too kind, Mr. Brayan
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
