Ernie Surrey was surprised when he heard Winston Osborne refer to him as Young Master.He reached out and lifted Winston’s chin with a smile.“So, you do know my name?“What a shame that it’s all a little too late now.“My woman was toyed with and beaten up! Someone needs to pay for the consequences!”At this point, Winston had utterly given up.He kept trembling to the point where his legs were about to give in.“Please, Young Master Ernie! It’s all because of Lando’s ignorance!“Deal with him however you please!“We have nothing to do with this!”Aliza Howell and the other women quickly nodded.“Looks like young people nowadays are clueless, huh?”Ernie heaved a sigh before slapping Winston to the ground.“Do you need me to remind you again?“You have no say in this! I do!“I am the king here! Do you understand me?!Ernie lit up a long and thin cigar before taking a huff.“Right. You mentioned Boden just now.“Call him! See if he’s willing to beg for your life!“If
Aliza Howell could not help but scream at the sight. She was getting goosebumps all over her body.She quickly stumbled back before looking at Winston Osborne with pitiful eyes.It was a shame. The arrogant man looked away as if nothing ever happened.Naturally, he would rather stay alive no matter how disgusting the sight was before him.Aliza’s vision went dark.The boyfriend she looked up to so much was just a coward, after all…Not only that, she was also about to be taken advantage of.Winston turned a blind eye when tears were running down Aliza’s face.Compared to his woman, his life was undoubtedly more important!He could have as many women as he wanted but would not get another life if he lost it!Tap!One of Ernie Surrey’s subordinates turned on the lights.Ernie was just about to take his pants off before seeing Billie Higgs and Judith Pedler standing behind Harvey. He froze before his eyes instantly lit up.It was safe to say that the two were goddesses in the
“Who the hell are you?Ernie Surrey rubbed his swollen face before sternly waving his hand, stopping the fierce men behind him from stepping forward.“I’ll put it this way. In the entirety of the outskirts, nobody dared to touch me before.“You’re the first one, and you’ll be the only one after this.“It’d be easy for me to trample all over you, but I should at least get to know you first so I can prepare a grave for you, right?”Ernie was an impressive man…But he was not foolish either.He knew that people who dared to go against him would surely have tricks up their sleeve.Either that or Harvey York was just someone with a screw loose.No matter how Ernie looked, Harvey did not seem that way.To prevent going against someone more powerful, Ernie decided that his best way forward was to figure out Harvey’s background.Winston Osborne’s eyes lit up as if he saw an opportunity to escape the situation. He quickly stumbled in front of Ernie before slamming his knees to the gr
“It really is our first time seeing this guy, Young Master Ernie!“We don’t even know each other!”“That’s right! We have nothing to do with him!”Winston Osborne and the others were utterly shocked after seeing Harvey York slap Ernie Surrey twice.They quickly broke off from Harvey, afraid they also would get dragged down.“Right! Do whatever you want with this bastard!” exclaimed Aliza Howell.“He’s been trying to get together with someone way out of his league!“Just take care of him as you please!”Even Lando Miller crawled out of Harvey’s way as he trembled in fear. If things were to escalate, he would also be taken out.Those people knew that for the princes and young masters, their reputation was much more important than their very lives!Not only would Harvey completely ruin everyone’s chances of turning the tables…He would completely infuriate Ernie as well.Simply put, he would be looking for his death!Why would he do something like this instead of just ending
“Kneel and apologize already!“Do you really want to wait till you screw everything up?!”Winston Osborne looked bitter. He was not worried about Harvey York at all…But the two goddesses.After all, he had been watching those two for a while but had not gotten his hands on them.“That’s right! You wouldn’t want Billie to die with you now, right?!”“When else are you going to kneel if not now?!”“Please! Stop showing off already!”The group desperately tried to convince Harvey, but he simply could not be bothered.He waved his hand before standing in front of Billie Higgs and Judith Pedler.“I haven’t seen a lot of princes and young masters in my life, but I’ve seen enough.“You’re not that impressive compared to the rest of them.“Even the ones better than you were all taken care of.“Who do you think you are?“Can you even handle the consequences if I decide to go against you?”Harvey showed a righteous look.Winston and the others were shaking in anger after hearing
The entire room was dead silent.Besides Harvey York, only Ernie Surrey and his subordinates remained inside.They were sizing up Harvey with playful expressions.Nobody in the outskirts would dare to go up against people of their caliber.It would not be exciting for them to crush any random person…But an ignorant fool from a big city like Harvey was different.“Drink up as much as you want.“You might not get another chance after this.One of Ernie’s subordinates pulled out a revolver before leaving a single bullet inside. Then, he spun the cylinder around and threw the revolver on the marble table in front of Harvey.Harvey was expected to play the Russian Roulette.“I’m warning you, kid.“Kneel and beg for mercy, and you might just be spared.“If you keep whining, you probably won’t even know how you end up dead.“It’s always better to survive instead, no?”Camilia and the other women looked down on Harvey disdainfully.They believed that real men could suffer humil
Harvey York picked up the call while completely ignoring the others around him.“Is this Master York? It’s Wildcat. I’m in front of your residence area right now.”A respectful voice was heard.Naturally, Wildcat would not dare show a hint of disrespect to a man who could save Lennon Surrey.“I’m not there yet. I’ll be there soon.”Wildcat froze.“Where are you now? I can fetch you if you’d like.”Harvey thought of something as he glanced at Ernie holding a revolver.“I’m at the Gangnam Outskirts right now. I ran into some trouble. I’ll get there when I’m done.”“The Gangnam Outskirts?“You should know that your problems are the Surrey family’s too!“As long as you say the word, I’ll handle it for you immediately!”Harvey smiled.“There’s no need. There’s someone named Ernie Surrey. He wants to play Russian Roulette with me.“I’ll go after having a round with him.”Wildcat froze in place after hearing that name.“Is he the man with dreadlocks, Master York?”Harvey size
“Family driver?!”Everyone looked at each other before Camilia and the women cackled up a storm.‘He thinks Ernie will explain himself to a driver?‘What a joke!‘What influence does a driver have in such a big family?‘The Surrey family probably has a hundred different drivers already!’Ernie Surrey smiled playfully.“I do want to see which driver would dare go against me!”In just three minutes, frantic footsteps were heard outside.The door was kicked open once again.Almost everyone instinctively looked over before a suited man walked inside.He ignored the others when he quickly walked toward Harvey York with his arms folded.“Are you alright, Master York?”“What do you think?” replied Harvey.Wildcat smiled.“I’m sure a few small fries wouldn’t be able to scratch you!“Don’t worry! I’ll make sure that you’re satisfied with your explanation!Wildcat shifted his gaze toward Ernie, whose expression slightly changed.“You’ve been a little cocky, Young Master Ernie!
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
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
