"How absurd!" When Pamela heard what Harvey had to say, her expression became one of terror. But shortly after, she coldly smiled again."Do you think you can scare me just like that? What you just said won't happen. Even if it will, I won't just surrender to you. Also, I've already asked Master Surrey from HK City to help me solve this."Master Surrey is a master of the geomancy arts and has used his unique skills to extend the life of the most important person in HK City. If he can extend the life of others, he can also extend my life. There's no need for you to worry about this!"Maybe Jon's imminent arrival gave Pamela some confidence. She smiled coldly and said, "Speaking of which, I believe we should speak about you and my daughter. I don't care if you're her genuine boyfriend or not, but you should understand your interference has brought danger to others other than yourself."You family, your friendsâĶ All of them will die a clueless death because of you. This is no empty th
The men-in-black that didn't react in time just now immediately charged toward Harvey after Pamela ordered them to. As their employer had been humiliated, there was no way Harvey wouldn't end up dead. Harvey looked at the so-called security without any respect. He sent them flying with a slap each. In less than ten seconds, the men in black who were charging at him all crumbled on the floor. They no longer had the strength or bravery to face him.HowâĶ How was that possible?Everyone there was shocked. It was the first time they saw someone who dared to act with such impunity in front of Pamela. The worst part? The man was extremely skilled!"YouâĶ" Pamela began.When she saw that her bodyguards were all eliminated, her face grew cold. The next second, she quickly took out a silver tube from her purse. There was the pattern of a peacock on the tube.It was the Royal Flush!Journi was also someone quite experienced. When she realized what it was, she couldn't control herself an
On the other side of Pamela's call, Elric was maintaining a strange silence. Pamela didn't notice the change of his behavior however, as she was simply unleashing all the anger within her."Do you know what your daughter did just now? She took a boyfriend home and started a ruckus! Not only did he slap me ten times, but he almost killed me too! All the bodyguards you arranged for me were smacked away in one hit! They're completely useless!"Is this how the Stantons teach their children? I'm telling you, if you don't stand with me this time, then this isn't over!"In her anger, Pamela seemed to have remembered something. She paused a little while and then said in a sneer, "Oh, right. That bastard said he slapped you. How could something like that even happen? I can't stop laughing at his bad jokes!"Elric's emotion on the other side finally changed a little as he frowned. After a moment, he then asked, "Is her boyfriend called Harvey?""That's right! That's the little bastard! Ho
Pamela sat on the floor as her body trembled. Hector's death was a huge shock as well as an invisible source of stress to her. It almost made her lose all the courage she had to go against Harvey.However, she was still a woman born from the top ten family of Wolsing. After the initial shock, she had completely calmed down.What Harvey did was truly shocking and terrifying indeed, but Pamela had dealt with her share of troubles over the years. She gritted her teeth; after a moment of planning, she covered her face and dialed a number.-At the same time, a red Lamborghini slowly stopped in a parking lot right outside at the entrance of Wolsing International Airport.Journi gave Harvey a look with complicated feelings before taking out her briefcase and passing several bank drafts and passports to Harvey.Harvey glanced at the bank drafts and passports, but he didn't take them. "What are you doing?" "These bank drafts are worth 1.5 million dollars. You can cash them in any ban
"If you ask me to simply leave like thisâĶ Firstly, you're belittling me. Secondly, there's no need for this. No matter how powerful Emery is, he's nothing that terrifying," Harvey said, smirking.He had never treated the so-called top scion of Wolsing as a serious threat. There were very few people in the world who could pique his interest and make him treat them seriously. "Harvey, how can you be soâĶ" Journi wanted to say Harvey was being ungrateful, but when she remembered that she was the reason Harvey was in this situation in the first place, she couldn't say anything else.Harvey then said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Why don't you tell me what's happening between you and Emery? If you can explain things to me, perhaps I can understand enough to find a way to help you. Of course, you don't have to tell me if you're having reservations."Journi gave it a thought and bit her lip. Then, she said, "There's nothing to be reserved about this. If we're looking at the root ca
"What?" Journi was slightly taken aback after listening to Harvey.Harvey raised his hand and signaled her to look behind them. She then saw several black vans parked not far away from Journi's Lamborghini. The vans all had fully tinted windows. She couldn't see just how many people were inside. At the same time, the car plates had also been covered up with a black cover.Their brazenness could already explain a lot."What should we do now?" Journi instinctively asked Harvey. She was still a young woman after all. She was scared when she saw what was happening."Simple. Do you know the duty-free shops in the airport?" Harvey said with a smile. "Let's go shopping. I'll pay for all your shopping expenses today."And then, Harvey got out of the passenger's seat before walking over to the driver's side and opening the door. He then extended his hand at Journi. Journi was first slightly shocked but still took Harvey's hand with a little bit of embarrassment.Harvey then gave the van b
When Emery stretched out his right hand, Pamela could see the Patek Philippe Nautilus watch he was wearing. It looked a little worn, but it instantly showed the kind of taste he had. While the watch was only becoming popular in recent years, few could afford it or had the taste for it in the past."No need to be so courteous, Emery. You're simply making me uncomfortable," Pamela said with a bright smile. As she smiled, she could feel the pain in her face. It made her resentment toward Harvey grow even greater."We're going to be family soon, so there's no need to show such courtesy reserved for outsiders. Originally, my daughter is supposed to take care of you tonight. Unfortunately, a man who came out of nowhere seduced her, and now the entire Stanton family is in quite the pickle."Despite being your senior, I really shouldn't be here for failing to do something as simple as this. Please don't pin the blame on me and give me one more chanceâĶ" Pamela peeked at Emery when she said
Emery ignored Pamela who was kneeling on the floor. He raised his right hand, snapping his fingers.After he snapped his fingers, a beautiful woman wearing a white martial arts robe entered the room from outside and stood next to Emery.Emery enjoyed his cup of tea and said, "Betty, give Janus a call and ask him how things are progressing."Betty nodded and walked out of the room with a cold expression on her face. Then, she started making some calls. After making those calls, she frowned and walked over to Emery and said, "Mr. Janus hasn't made his move yet.""Not yet?" Emery asked without a change in his explanation. "Is Harvey that hard to deal with?""Not exactly, butâĶ" Betty hesitated a little and then said, "Harvey and Journi are shopping in the duty-free shops in the airport. There were too many people there, and they bought so many things that the airport had dispatched many security officers to escort them home."Janus has no opportunity to do anything at all. It might g
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 herâĶ 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 endâĶ"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. HoffmanâĶ 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."YouâĶ YouâĶ!"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
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easyâafter marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was youâĶ"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"YouâĶ Hale! HowâĶ" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "HoneyâĶ Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed meâĶ And has been betraying meâĶ"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
