With Watson Braff’s persuasion, Brayan Foster and Amora Foster left with wretched expressions.Brayan had never endured such humiliation in his entire life.Amora took a deep breath.“Harvey York doesn’t even respect us, Father!” she exclaimed with a horrible expression.“Are we really going to kneel before his doorstep for five days?“We’ve contacted every geomancy expert in the country, but none are as reliable as him!“Without him, I’m afraid we won’t be able to solve your problem…“What do we do now?!”Brayan’s face darkened when he spoke after a long while.“We can only rely on ourselves now…“Use everything we can in the city.“Get Harvey’s woman here.“Remember, do not harm her.“Our goal is to force Harvey’s hand.“When I recover…”Brayan’s glare felt like a sharp blade. There was nothing else to be said anymore.***At the Zimmer Enterprise building, Mandy Zimmer was still dealing with the company’s issues.The problem with the Golden Sands was no better, but
Mandy Zimmer frowned.“What’s the condition?”“You know the answer yourself,” replied Amora Foster.“We’ve made such big strides just for that one thing since the beginning.“Get Harvey to deal with my father’s problem.“You, of all people, can convince him to do that, right?”Mandy’s face turned dark before heaving a sigh.“I’ll be honest with you, Ms. Amora! The contract’s extremely tempting to me!“I really do want it!“But I just can’t accept the condition.“I was the one who brought Harvey to the Ostrane Five.“But now, I don’t think I can do that again.“Other than preventing him from being humiliated again, you’re simply not worth it!”“Not worth it?Amora smiled faintly.“I’m asking you this one last time.“Are you signing the contract or not?“Just tell it to me straight. Stop beating around the bush.”“I won’t sign it!” exclaimed Mandy while shaking her head.Amora let out a cold chuckle.“Even with a hundred and fifty million dollars on the line?”“Right
Mandy Zimmer took a deep breath.“This is the difference between us!“You don’t care about that! But I do!”“That’s why you’re such a failure! You’re the head of the ninth branch, yet you’re constantly being toyed by the higher-ups!“You’re naive!Amora Foster had her opinions about Mandy.“I’m asking you one last time. Are you calling him or not?”“I will not!” Mandy replied slowly.“Not only that, I’ll give a fair statement to your family about this!”Slap!Amora slammed Mandy onto the table with another slap across the face.“In three minutes, I have no choice but to go further!”Amora clapped her hands.Two fierce men took off their suits with wretched chuckles.A few others started setting up their cameras. Their actions needed absolutely no explanation!“You’re shameless, Amora!”Mandy trembled. She did not expect Amora to be capable of doing such a thing.“I’m shameless?Amora chuckled with a twisted expression.“I was being nice, yet you didn’t even respect m
“Let her go!”“Let Ms. Amora go!”The fierce men in suits charged forward.Some had firearms with safeties off while pointed at Harvey York.Others tried to snatch Amora Foster away but could not find a good angle.The atmosphere tensed up instantly. A fight was imminent.Harvey would never let these people get an opportunity to take action after all.The experts who got closer were immediately sent flying after getting slapped. Their faces were clearly swollen when they fell flat to the ground.“Let her go, Harvey!“You’re dead if you don’t!”Charlize pulled out her firearm before pointing it toward Harvey.Bam!Harvey exerted more force on his foot, making Amora’s face closer to the ground.Then, he calmly glanced at the people around him.“Step down, or your lady gets it!”The fierce men looked at each other. They wanted to save Amora but could not help but hesitate after seeing Harvey’s skill.Amora was already calm at this moment. She coldly chuckled while complete
Mandy Zimmer felt sluggish after seeing such a ruthless and decisive woman.Harvey York, on the other hand, was feeling quite impressed.Not only was Amora ruthless to others, but she was even more so to herself.People like that were only destined to rise to power.“I see your sincerity now…Harvey slowly walked toward Amora before fixing her arms back with a gentle smile.“It’s simple for me to deal with your father’s curse.“That said, no matter how generous I am, I can’t just do that for free after everything you two have done to me, right?”Amora showed mixed emotions before taking a deep breath.“Name anything you want, Master York!”Harvey pulled out three fingers.“I have three simple conditions.“Number one, I want Brayan to go into hiding after he’s treated. I don’t want to see him in every possible industry there is.“Number two, I want half of the Foster family’s resources, including riches and connections…”Amora’s expression changed.“Do you want to tear th
Amora Foster finally closed her mouth.A sense of loyalty immediately replaced the vengeance against Harvey York. She decided to go down the same path with him till the bitter end.“Thank you for trusting me, Master York!” she exclaimed exhilarated.“Then again, I don’t think I have enough power to convince the entire family…“Just like you said, I’m afraid the family won’t support my improper rise.”Harvey patted Amora’s face with a smile.“Don’t forget, I’m the city’s best geomancy expert.“You’re destined to be in a high position.“Be confident in yourself.“Go back and talk to your father.“Tell him to listen to you if he wants to live the rest of his life in glory and riches.“This’ll be beneficial for all three of us.”Amora decisively waved her hand, completely ignoring her injuries.“Don’t worry, Sir York!“I won’t let my major shareholder be disappointed!”Then, she turned around and left.As expected from a ruthless person like her.Mandy Zimmer was shocked w
“It’s a lot of money and resources. This amount of riches can make an ordinary man rival a country…“But do I look like someone who even needs that?”Amora Foster froze with a peculiar expression.“It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to fool me.“As long as you do my job properly, I can even help the family during trying times as the major shareholder.“If you do go against me, I can easily take control of the family just like I did your father.“If I want to, I can also remove the family from the top ten families.“Do you understand me?”With Amora’s attitude, she would be jumping around the place while she screamed at Harvey York for saying those words…But for some reason, she believed what Harvey had just said was the truth!She believed that if he wanted to, he could destroy the family within a matter of minutes!“I understand!” she exclaimed, with her eyes twitching.“Thank you for telling me this.”“Good.Harvey lightly nodded before knocking on the table.“Castiel
Amora Foster’s face darkened.“And what if I don’t?”“He won’t die,” replied Harvey York.“But the curse will enter his body again.“He’ll become a vegetable for the rest of his life if that’s the case.“Don’t worry though. I’ll get Castiel Foster to visit every year.“The service is free, of course. Maybe treat Castiel to a meal so you two have an excuse to hang out.“I’m pretty generous anyway.”Amora showed a perplexed expression.“Thank you, Master York,” she said quietly.She was a wise person. She knew exactly why Harvey was doing all this.The Foster family had no chance to go against Harvey any longer.After all, Brayan Foster could only rely on him if he wanted to live a good life.That said, Amora was not disdained by this at all.Her rise was too abrupt. The rest of the family would not hesitate to oppose her.Harvey’s simple move was enough to keep Brayan alive.Since that was the case, Brayan would also give it his all to keep Amora in her position.Simply
"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
