Harvey and Leona saw someone throwing a pair of scissors to the ground. The scissors were supposed to be used to cut the ribbon during the ceremony.Objects made out of pure gold were relatively softer. The scissors, a symbol of the project’s wealth, were destroyed instantly.A higher-up who saw it immediately walked over.“Do you think you can destroy the things here just because you’re a star? Can you compensate for the damages if the project doesn’t take off?!”Slap!A beautiful woman with gorgeous makeup and a striking figure stepped forward, and slapped the higher-up in the face.“I’ve been waiting for ten whole minutes for this event! So what if I broke your stupid scissors?” she screeched.The higher-up’s face darkened instantly. Everyone else looked at each other; they didn’t dare to stop the woman at all.The workers behind her bore pompous expressions as they watched. They looked as if the woman had done no wrong. “Golden Estate’s pretty impressive!“You’ve begged
Harvey naturally wouldn’t get involved in the situation.He nodded, and said, “Right. You go ahead.” Leona walked over before saying something to Violet. The next moment, Violet suddenly slapped Leona’s face.Harvey’s expression turned stern. When he saw that Leona only suffered a slight physical injury, he sighed in relief. Violet’s arrogant assistant glared coldly at the crowd, and said, “Leona! Casen! Every single one of you! I’m warning you!“Ms. Violet’s standing in the main spot, no matter what!“Aside from that, you’d have to pay us three times the rate!“Do that, and we’ll let go of this. “If not, we’ll make an announcement to the public immediately!“Violet’s thirty million fans could destroy all the buildings here!“Don’t even try to show off just because you have money!“How dare you get a random savage of a man to take over Ms. Violet’s place?“Keep dreaming!“Ms. Violet is a close friend to the leader of the housing department’s sales management, Amaia Sack
The assistant stood up and wiped the blood off her mouth, before screaming at Harvey, “How dare you, you bastard?! Try me again if you dare!”Slap!Harvey calmly swung the back of his palm. The assistant screamed in pain as she was sent flying again.“It’s my first time hearing such a stupid request after staying here for this long. You all saw it; she asked me to do it.”Harvey wiped his fingers, filled with utter disdain.Everyone was shocked; they didn’t know what to say as they looked at Harvey.The slaps were very refreshing to watch…However, Golden Estate was about to pay a terrible price for that. The Golden Garden project would be forced to shut down if things went south.‘Doesn’t this bastard know how to hold himself back for the greater good?‘Violet has thirty million fans and the Foster family’s support!‘There’s going to be a lot of trouble if people sent word about this!‘Violet even knows Amai, the cold-blooded killer of the housing department!”‘This is ter
The workers behind Violet looked at Harvey with disdain. In their eyes, anyone who went up against Violet would surely suffer.The more Harvey showed off, the worse he’d end up.After taking two slaps from Harvey, Paola almost broke her tooth. She glared hatefully at him. “You’ll get what’s coming for you soon! When Ms. Violet’s friend gets here, you’re dead for sure!”Harvey crossed his arms.“Hopefully the person you call won’t kneel to me immediately. It’ll be boring if that’s the case.”Paola laughed coldly while waiting for the call to pick up.“Ms. Amaia! Our people got beat up! We already told them about you, but they just didn’t care!”Paola looked as if she was an innocent lady who had been taken advantage of, running her mouth while on the verge of tears.After she hung up, she returned to the wretched expression she had before.“Just you wait!“Ms. Amaia will be here soon!“You won’t even know how you die when she gets here!”She then pointed at everyone else,
That said, Amaia was a smart person.She knew Harvey was brothers with Watson, the director of the housing department. That was why she never thought of taking revenge against him.After knowing Violet and getting close to the Foster family’s relatives, she decided to take charge of the housing department’s sales management.Safe to say, the money earned in her new occupation was way more lucrative compared to managing a mere geomancy shop.Because of that, Amaia’s beautiful face seemed a little chubbier than before.She strutted forward before exclaiming coldly, “Who’s the one provoking my friend here? Does the Golden Estate plan to shut down after this?”Amaia had a greater authority compared to her higher-ups here, since she was the one who showed up to the event. If she wanted to, she could seize entire construction companies without warning.“You’re here, Ms. Amaia! That bastard not only disrespected Ms. Violet, but he even hit me!“Look! My face is completely warped becau
Harvey’s slap rang loud and clear. Amaia’s face was completely swollen, and her head was spinning all around.Despite that, she dared not lash out.“Of course! Please go ahead!”Slap!Harvey slapped Amaia again without holding back.“A government official represents the government itself.“How are you supposed to live up to your position if you don’t fight for the people’s justice?”Slap!“You ignore the rights and wrongs and take advantage of the citizens, and yet you’re still shamelessly pulling out your credentials?”Slap!“You demand people to kneel and compensate for damages without any approval?“Who gave you the authority?”Slap!“Do you remember your lesson now?”Harvey slapped Amaia to the ground, then wiped his fingers with a calm expression.Amaia stumbled, but she had a respectful look on her face. “Of course! Thank you for your lesson!”“How is this possible?!”Violet and the others felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Some kept rubbing their eyes
The person on the other side of the phone was enraged after hearing his woman getting beat up and taken advantage of.“Heh, heh! This place is filled with scumbags after all, huh?“If anyone goes for my woman, then they must have a death wish!“I don’t care who you are, kid! Kneel and apologize, then let Violet punish you however she pleases! There’s still time!“If not, the Foster family will crush you without hesitation!”Trenton’s words were fierce, as if he was a superior being talking down to his servants. Naturally, he could crush anyone he wanted with just a single word.“You hear that? Kneel already!”Violet glared arrogantly at Harvey.“It’ll be bad for you if Young Master Trenton gets angry!”Violet was ready to ridicule Harvey, when he took a step forward.“Young Master Trenton, right?” Harvey said.“I don’t care what your relation is to the Foster family…“But let me tell you something: my name is Harvey York.“Before you decide to go against me, why don’t you
“Our sales will plummet if the situation escalates. How are you going to deal with this? We built this luxurious area from scratch!”Harvey pointed out the severity of the situation with a calm tone.Trenton took a deep breath.“Please, Sir York!“Let me buy a house there!“It doesn’t matter if it’s the worst one!“I’m willing to pay three times—no, ten times the original cost!”“Just pay double,” Harvey replied.“People will think that I’m trying to fake an advertisement if you pay that much.“As for the house, I’ll make sure to pick one in a good spot for you.“Even if you have no shame, your family wouldn’t say the same.“That said, I’ll need you to tell your friends about this.”“Of course! I’ll do that right now!”Trenton clapped his chest.Leona and the others were speechless. Harvey managed to spread word about the Golden Garden project in the upper social circle so effortlessly…Since someone like Trenton bought one of the houses for double the original price, th
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
