“As a mother, I will not let her remarry you!“Get out of here already! Stop trying too hard!“I’ll tell you! My daughter lives in the Ostrane One now!“A nobody like you is never worthy of her!Lilian Yates pulled out a stack of money from her purse and threw it at Harvey York.“You came for the money, didn’t you?!“Take it and leave already!“If you don’t, I’ll slap you right now!“I won’t let you hinder my daughter from finding true happiness!”Lilian was determined to keep the date going.She wanted Harvey out of the place no matter what it took!She was very impressed with an outstanding man like Blaine!Aunt Witby quickly came to her senses after witnessing the sight before her.She was showing a horrible expression at that moment.“So you’re the live-in son-in-law!“You know how bad Mandy’s been having it because of you?!“Get out!“You shouldn’t be around!”Naturally, Aunt Witby feared Harvey ruining her business, making her lose all that matchmaker fee in the
The marriage was not set in stone.But in Lilian Yates’ eyes…Blaine John was destined to be her outstanding son-in-law.Lilian had been imagining all sorts of things after having a short chat with Blaine.Wolsing’s tall mansions, private islands in the Caribbeans, art salons filled with a sense of magnificence…Those were things that she had been dreaming of.She was born into a pretty good family but was barely considered part of the top-rated circle.She could not push herself any further, so she instilled her hopes and dreams in her two daughters.Now that there was an opportunity, she would never let Harvey spoil this chance.“Please!“Is the money not enough?!“Get out of here already!“I’ll give you as much as you want!”Lilian was utterly infuriated. If she were not afraid of Harvey slapping her in the face, she would have lashed out at him by now.Harvey casually called the waiter over before asking for some Silver Needle Tea.Then, he shifted his gaze toward Ma
Lilian Yates had already interjected before Mandy Zimmer could say anything.“My daughter will never let this bastard here!“He must’ve followed her here!”Naturally, Lilian did not want Aunt Witby to anger Mandy Zimmer.It would be bad if the date were ruined because of this!“What?! He followed her all the way here?!“He’s also ordering stuff without any shame!Aunt Witby burst out in anger.“Bastard!“Why are you like this?!“People should get their statuses straight!“And not constantly pester people!“Don’t you get it?!“You’re not worthy to be with a goddess like Mandy!“You’re a nobody!“You two are from two different worlds!“Why are you still clinging to her?!“Let me tell you! I’ll strangle you to death if you ruin Mandy’s marriage!“I’m giving you one last chance! Are you leaving or not?!“I’ll call the cops if you’re not! I’ll make sure you suffer!”Aunt Witby furiously pulled out her phone before dialing a number.Harvey calmly sipped his tea.“You’re
The two quietly locked eyes. Harvey York’s gaze was calm in contrast to Blaine John’s playful expression.Lilian, Aunt Witby, and the others looked at each other before scoffing at Harvey.Blaine was covered in custom-made clothing, and Harvey wore discounted clothes from road stalls.Blaine had the aura of an upperclassman, yet Harvey was just an unsightly man.Blaine was the young master of the John family, with his name hailed all over the top-rated circle.Harvey? He was just pretending to be a geomancy expert fooling his way to the top. He looked like he was in the upper social circle, but he was nothing compared to someone like Blaine.Lilian and the others pouted. They did not understand where Harvey got the nerve to look at Blaine that way.“Perfect timing, Young Master John! This is the Zimmer family’s driver!“A mere driver like him is trying to take advantage of Mandy here! He doesn’t know when to stop!“Mandy’s been explaining that she has someone she loves! A nobo
“Not just Golden Sands, even people from Mordu and Wolsing have to pay their respects to someone of this status.“I have to admit, you are quite capable. It’s hard for an ordinary man to achieve all this in such a short time.”Mandy Zimmer froze. She did not expect Harvey York had already made so much progress after coming to the city.Aunt Witby and Elodie Jean looked at each other. They completely looked down on Harvey, but Harvey seemed extremely impressive based on Blaine’s compliments alone…Or at least, he was better than the average person.Lilian Yates showed an odd expression. She had an idea as to how capable Harvey was.Then again, she did not expect he would be this resourceful after coming to the Golden Sands.Since Lilian naturally disdained Harvey, she still could not help but feel disgusted after hearing Blaine complimenting him.“A man like Harvey has no right to be compared to you, Young Master John!“His connections are nothing! You were born into a top-rate
Harvey York kept sipping his tea without replying.He was about to leave after he was done.What was there to talk about when Blaine John had only been boasting about his strength the entire time?He could not be bothered to listen any longer.Elodie Jean, on the other hand, felt curious.“Who are those people, Young Master John?”The others were interested as well. They wanted to know what kind of people would let such a prominent figure be this humble.“The first man had single-handedly defeated the five strongest countries, creating the legendary Sword Camp at a very young age!“Then, he established billion-dollar corporations abroad, raising the country to the world’s peak himself!“More importantly, he disappeared during his peak, leaving only a legend behind!“It’s said that he’d definitely become the next elder of the military force if he didn’t!“He’d have the right to compete against Young Master Wright and the Big Boss for the highest position many years later!”B
“He took the crown with his own hands!“He’s a hero!”Blaine John showed peerless admiration.“I wonder which one out of the three you know, Master York?”Aunt Witby and Elodie Jean disdainfully glared at Harvey York with their arms crossed.‘That’s right! You must’ve never heard of those people before, have you?’Lilian Yates, Mandy Zimmer, and Simon Zimmer looked at each other with odd expressions. They wanted to say something, but they simply could not…If they remembered correctly…Prince York…Blaine showed a faint smile when they looked at Harvey.“I wonder if you have opinions about the people I’m talking about.“Right. Two out of these three have the same surname as you.“I wonder why there’s this much of a gap between you and them…”Blaine picked a glass on the table.In his eyes, Harvey had no right to be on the same level as him.“What a conversation, Young Master John! I’ve learned a lot!Harvey smiled.“But I’m curious. What’s the point of you talking abou
“You know? What do you know?” Mandy replied angrily.“Blaine’s the young master of the John family!“He’s also Emery’s sworn brother! They’re really close!“Do you know who that is?“That’s the big boss’s son! If we’re in ancient times, then he’s a literal prince!“You’re going against someone like that, and you tell me that you know?!”Harvey shot her a playful smile. “The Braided Dynasty’s been dead for hundreds of years by now. That man’s no prince.”“Even if we don’t talk about that, don’t you know that the John family’s the only top-rated family in the entire city?”Mandy was infuriated.“Even your Kairi had difficulty dealing with the John family! You don’t actually think that you can go against them, can you?”Harvey smiled; right as he was about to say something, a horn could be heard not far away.The horn had always been the symbol of starting a war. The horrifying sound would make anyone freeze in fear.Harvey instinctively turned around.A group of people was s
"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
