After seeing the goddess with an exquisite figure smiling, Harvey let out a sigh.“You’re kidding me. Did you know what happened there?”Judging from the fact that Yvonne telling the staff to send in the dishes, it was clear she knew everything that happened. If not, she wouldn’t even ask Harvey such a random question.“I was just worried about you being too immersed in the outskirts and forgetting how we do things here in Wolsing.”Harvey looked at Ray as if he was begging for help.Ray kept his eyes glued on his phone, as if there was something interesting on it.Harvey’s eyes twitched; he then put on a stern expression.“Let’s just talk about the Country H Commercial Group for now, Yvonne,” he said, desperately trying to change the subject.“We need to do a good job about this, right? Tell me what’s going on in the organization!”Yvonne glared at Harvey for a moment; when the dishes were all sent over, she poured a bowl of soup and handed it to Harvey before finally speakin
“When should we start taking action?”Yvonne grabbed Harvey a drumstick, smiling.“There’s no rush; Elric’s not retired yet, right?” Harvey replied with food in his mouth.“If we take action now, everyone will turn against us out of hatred. Just let the others fight, and we’ll reap the rewards after that.“We need to do things the best way with minimal casualties.”Yvonne chuckled.“We can’t just sit here and do nothing though, right?”Ray had no intention of holding back. “We might as well head back to South Light if that’s the case.”“What are you saying?”Harvey glared at Ray.“We’re not even done with Sky Corporation’s relocation.“We haven’t even got a suitable investor in Wolsing, either.“We’d have to find an opportunity to secure a place here first, you know?“We have full control over Buckwood…but this is Wolsing. Everything’s a lot more difficult here.”Ray nodded, then pondered the situation for a moment.“I understand. Sky Corporation will launch all busine
Harvey showed a profound gaze; he didn’t think a gift to Mandy would cause such huge trouble.‘Maybe I should’ve…’While Harvey was in deep thought, Yvonne smiled.“Of course, this is just speculation.“Maybe the Hunt family would treat them kindly for the Honey Pill’s whereabouts. In any case, we’ll cross the bridge when we get there.“For my old lover’s sake, I’ll make sure that nothing happens to her.”Harvey’s eyes twitched.With both Mandy and Yvonne in the same city, the love triangle was bound to have some drama.Before Harvey’s headache could subside, Yvonne’s face darkened and she continued to speak. “Right, Sir York. There’s something that I need to tell you.“The Xavier family’s butler gave me a call; they know that I came back here already. He said that the old man’s arranging another date for me, and demanded me to go.”Harvey’s eyes twitched again.Ray desperately wanted to hide under the table after hearing those words.Bam!When Harvey was still thinking
Yvonne smiled at Harvey, completely ignoring Reggie.“Judging from this guy’s tone, you must’ve stolen his woman. Let me guess: Mandy? You have quite the good luck with women, huh?”Yvonne chuckled.The curve of her smile, revealing her bright teeth, would be enough to make any man lose control.“No, you’re the one with good luck here…”Reggie looked as if his soul was being pulled as he tried reaching out to Yvonne’s face.“If I were you, I wouldn’t do anything until I figure out who I’m dealing with,” Harvey said after setting his utensils down.“I guarantee that if you get your hand any closer, you’ll be the one suffering.“Grovel and admit to your mistake, then get your men out of here.“Pay for the room on your way out, and I’ll let you off the hook.“After all, I don’t want to cause any trouble since it’s my first day here.”Reggie froze; he didn’t think that Harvey was a prominent figure, but a useless kept man. But judging from Harvey’s tone, he started to realize th
The men in black suits burst out laughing after hearing Reggie’s words.He was right, after all.Whoever his enemies were, as long as they were outsiders… They’d be instantly humbled as soon as they arrived here.‘A mere outsider like him has no right to go against a prominent figure like Young Master Reggie!’A few beautiful women in heavy makeup heard the commotion, and came to watch the show.They had their arms crossed as they glared disdainfully at Harvey and the others.‘There’s been a lot of country bumpkins visiting here…but it's my first time seeing someone acting like this!’“I should warn you,” Ray said in the nick of time.“You better do as Sir York says. He’s in a good enough mood since he just came here. He won’t make things harder for you people if you listen.”Pfft!The beautiful women laughed their stomachs off.“Sir York? He calls himself that when he just got here? That’s a title only a CEO can have!“If he’s a CEO, then I’m the king of the world! How dar
“You bastard! Stop it!”The fierce men rushed forward after freezing for a moment; they were holding knives and baseball bats, prepared to take action at any time.A huge fight was about to break out.Ray was Harvey’s personal bodyguard, and also a soldier who had been on the battlefield. He chuckled coldly, having no intention of letting these people get close to Harvey.Bam, bam, bam!He charged into one of the men, then grabbed the man’s knife and took down the rest with swift cuts. After that, he quickly leaped toward Reggie.Reggie instinctively felt threatened; he was about to stumble back, but Ray’s knife was already on his throat. A cold aura seeped out of the blade, making Reggie shiver in fear.His face was horrible. It was clear that he was at his wit’s end.The beautiful women screamed in fear before hiding in the corner of the room; none of them dared to take a single breath in that very moment.“Reggie, right? You better tell your men this. Give up now, or my han
Reggie glared furiously at Harvey after hearing his words.“I admit defeat this time, kid!“But don’t worry! Next time, I’ll make sure I’ll get a lawyer with me when I bring people to take you out! I’ll be able to get out unscathed after that!”“Oh? Is that so? I’m so scared!”Harvey stood in front of Reggie with his arms crossed, then chuckled after sizing him up. “Since you’re going to kill me anyway, it’d be fine if I charge you interest first, right?”Harvey grabbed Reggie’s hair, then slammed his head onto the marble table.Cracks were instantly formed along with the loud bang.The men in suits and the beautiful women wouldn’t even dare let out a shriek.They thought a small fry that could only play by the rules wouldn’t be impressive at all. After all, good dogs don’t bite.Who knew that Harvey would be this fierce?The long-haired man shivered in rage; he wanted to step forward, but he was held back when Ray pointed his knife at him calmly. Reggie screamed in pain; h
Harvey smiled; he didn’t mind the situation at all. After all, numbers never mattered to him in the first place.Reggie thought Harvey was completely shaken, as he only stood without doing anything.“You should know by now, kid!” he exclaimed bravely. “What right do you have to go against me here? What can you do?!”“It’d be simple for me to get out of here with you hostage. You think you’re the only one who can call people here? Would you even dare lay your hands on me when the police come?”“You’re calling the cops? Come on! Do it, then! If the cops can even do anything about it, then I’ll cut my head off for you to piss in!”“Forget it,” Harvey replied with a disdainful glare. “You don’t even have the right for me to do that. Take a look in the mirror first before saying something like that.”Reggie was so infuriated, he was about to pass out.“You’re finished, kid!“No matter what happens today… My men will find out everything about you!“Even your damn ancestors will be d
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
