Mandy Zimmer’s phone was off, while Harvey York did not pick up his.At that moment, Zack Zimmer and the others were speechless.If they knew something like this would happen, they would have treated Mandy and her family better.Senior Zimmer had called Zack once again.Zack expressed discontent, but he still had to relay the information to Senior Zimmer.“Grandfather, it’s not that we’re incompetent, we don’t even know where that worthless sack of trash, Harvey took Mandy!“We even called them, but they didn’t pick up. Both their phones are off!“Even uncle and aunt didn’t know where the both of them went!”Senior Zimmer’s hand that was holding the phone was trembling upon hearing this.If they could not find Mandy, the Zimmer family would be bankrupt.If that were to happen, all his efforts for half of his lifetime would be all in vain!“Hurry and find them then! All of you go now, you have to find them before tomorrow morning!“If not, the whole family will be sleeping o
That night, Mandy Zimmer had already been to hundreds of stores. She would always try on the clothing that she liked, but she refused to buy them when she saw the price tags.Since the Olden Trade only sold luxury brands, nothing would come cheap.But for her, the process of trying out the clothing alone would make her feel blessed already.Harvey York on the other hand had been patiently following her around. He would remember the clothing that Mandy tried on, but did not utter a single word about it.Mandy had a feeling of accomplishment upon arriving at the last store in the Olden Trade.She rushed toward Harvey and smiled.“Let’s go home after trying out the clothes here.”“As you wish.”Harvey smiled with no plans to reject her.They were about to walk into the store when a man and woman walked in with them.The woman had an enchanting figure, with heavy makeup, barely showing her actual face at that point.The man was wearing a T-shirt and slippers with a bunch of keys
Mandy Zimmer said while frowning, “Can you not be such a snob? She’s a customer, am I not also one?”Mandy had liked the clothes that she was trying on, she felt humiliated after being told to take them off immediately after.The shop assistant in front of her smirked and let out a slight chuckle.“Lady, you should know that customers also have different ranks. Other things aside, can you even compare against the lady that’s purchasing this many items here?“Maybe what the lady purchases in one go is more than what you’ll ever get in a lifetime!”The enchanting woman gave a domineering smile after hearing this.“Some people really need to know their place and not embarrass themselves too much…“Gauge yourself properly then see if you can compare against me!”The man with a bunch of keys hanging on his waist walked up toward the woman at that moment.“Why are you even talking to these poor people?“At times like these, money speaks volumes!“These people don’t even look like
Mandy Zimmer was boiling with anger after she heard that, but she could only grit her teeth at that moment.The enchanting woman seemed like she had already been used to the scene, she playfully sized up Harvey York then said with discontent, “You poor fool, my husband’s a real generous one. You’d need to work for a good couple of years to get thirty thousand dollars, right?”“If I were you, I’d take the money and scoot. Just leave this young lady here!”The shop assistant on the side was also in the mood for trouble, and immediately walked up with her chest perked up.“Sigh, I’ve always hoped to have a man that could see past my flaws…”“Oh beautiful, you’re so lucky. I’m willing to hand out thirty thousand dollars breakup fees just for you.”Harvey’s gaze turned colder and colder, he looked at the shopping guide and the landlord indifferently.“Since this is the mall, I’ll play by your rules.“You think having money is impressive? I’ll have everything in the store…“As for y
“Sir, if you don’t have the money, there’s still time to walk away right now.”The shop assistant had lost all patience wasting time on Harvey York, and ordered him off.“I’ll make a call,” Harvey said while walking away from the store.“Hehehe, making a call? Stop showing off if you don’t have the money, why are you even pretending to make a call? Let’s see how long you’re going to make the call.”The enchanting woman was crossing her arms, with a face full of disdain.In her eyes, Harvey was pretending to make a call just to run away.Mandy Zimmer was embarrassed. She wanted Harvey to just admit it if he did not have any money on him instead of making a call as an excuse. She had not taken her clothes off at that moment and did not know what to do.After half a minute, the sound of a person walking on heels hastily echoed from inside the store.The store manager hurried out of the store and looked around her.“Manager, somebody was trying to cause trouble…”The shop assista
The landlord locked eyes with the store manager.The two at that moment have their hearts connected as one.Both of them wanted to choke the enchanting woman to death at that moment.One had already guessed the identity of Harvey York.The other had a feeling that Harvey wasn’t just an ordinary person.They could only do damage control at that point.But the fool of a woman still had to run her mouth even then!She was getting them killed!Before they could finish their sentences, Harvey had already walked back into the store.He did not even bat an eye at the landlord and started talking to the store manager.“I called Kyle Wood a while ago, he’ll help me with the transaction.”The store manager’s mind was blown after hearing the name “Kyle Wood”.The others did not understand what that name meant, but she did!The general manager, that was the name of Olden Trade’s general manager!An ordinary person would not even know the surname of the general manager.The man in fr
“The card worked, didn’t it?” Harvey York said suddenly.“Then get me another thirty thousand dollars.”Kyle Wood did not dare to ask more questions and sprinted out the store, then gave Harvey a paper bag after a while.Harvey did not even check the contents of the bag and threw it right at the doorstep of the store, stacks of blue notes rolled out of the bag, startling everyone around.“Here’s your thirty thousand.”The landlord and the enchanting woman were about to flee the scene, their hearts were beating rapidly at that moment.They remembered that the young man demanded them to apologize in exchange for the thirty thousand dollars.“So what if you’re rich? I’m not poor either, you think I’d care about the money?”The enchanting woman looked at Harvey with disgust.Harvey smiled without saying a word while staring at the landlord.The landlord felt like the hairs on his body stood up when he was looking at Harvey’s expression.He knew that if he could not do it, the yo
Women are naturally shopaholics.That night, Mandy Zimmer was too immersed with all the clothing to the point where she could just sleep in the dressing room.Harvey York’s legs felt like they were shattered by rocks, but he could only stand there and force a smile at that moment.It did divert Mandy’s attention.After a good night’s rest, Mandy had forgotten to ask how Harvey managed to do those things.Then out of the blue, the phone that she charged before was ringing.Mandy was still in a blur, but Harvey went and picked up the call, scolding the caller, “Are you mad? It’s so early in the morning. Did you even look at the time before making this call?”The people on the other side of the call were as shocked as they were delighted when the call was picked up.Harvey and Mandy were trying on new clothing for the whole night.While Zack Zimmer and the others camped at a floor under Mandy’s house while repeatedly calling her phone number.The people on the other side of the
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
