“What do you mean?” Harvey York said indifferently.“The guests today are all major superstars. If something happens to any of them, can a peasant like you afford to pay the consequences?”The security chief questioned.Harvey said coldly, “If I remember correctly, this is a public place, right? Can’t I walk past the stage? None of this makes any sense.”“Normally you can, but not today!”The security chief spat coldly.“You’re arbitrarily taking up public resources. You even forbid the people to pass in a public place! You sure have a lot of power!” Harvey said, his voice deep. “Yes, we have great power. After all, we have big stars backing us! The money that they earned in just a few minutes of showing up is an amount you’d never make in your entire life!”“This is privilege!” The security chief shouted.Harvey sneered, “And what if I insist going over?”“You can try! This area is blocked off!”Soon, more than a dozen security guards came over. A total of thirty people s
Originally, Harvey’s expression was normal. When Yuna spoke to him in that way, he couldn’t help but reply in a frosty tone, “I just wanted to take the elevator to go up for a meal. You said that the area is blocked off and you wouldn’t let me go up.”“Fine, I’m not eating anymore.”“Now I want to go out, and you’re still blocking my way. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to fly out from here?”At Harvey’s words, Yuna spat coldly, “I don’t care how, but you better get out right this instant!”“Get out, is it?” Harvey nodded. “Let’s see who’ll be doing that!”When they heard Harvey’s bragging, Yuna and the rest burst into laughter.This guy was kicking them out? Was he out of his mind?Just when the managers were about to let security drive Harvey away, a few stars standing not far away came over. The fans began to cheer.Yuna hurriedly walked over towards the approaching stars.The man and woman who were leading at the front were extremely dazzling.Even as they stood
At this moment… Carter Coen was dumbfounded.Yvette Yanes was dumbfounded.Even Yuna Shaw was slightly startled.Doubly so for the security guards. In that very second, all of them fell into hushed silence.The middle-aged man who was acting so respectful toward Harvey was not just any person, but was in fact the general manager of Buckwood Tower. His position was equivalent to the owner of Buckwood Tower, yet he was so respectful in front of this man.Most importantly, those standing behind him could see his cold sweat soaking his clothes.This was simply unimaginable! Harvey had asked the person in charge of Buckwood Tower to get down within three minutes. In the end, the man really did come down within three minutes.Previously, Yuna dared to be arrogant in front of Harvey. Now, she dared not.She and the other celebrities’ managers knew how things worked in this circle. They understood all too well the power of money. In front of ordinary people, they had privilege an
Shock!Everyone was shocked!No one expected that Carter Coen would suddenly go crazy.In a way, this was to be expected. As a popular star, he had always been held up high by people wherever he went.Even some CEOs had asked him to be the face for their products and treated him nicely.After his initial shock, Carter came to the conclusion that Harvey, the CEO was nothing remarkable.Harvey smiled. “Do you think no one will come here without you?”“With just a word, you could make your fans ruin this place?”“Are you threatening me?”“Am I threatening you?” Carter cursed. “Fool, can’t you tell?” “Interesting.” Harvey smiled. He glanced at the general manager and said casually, “I’m asking you. Who rented the place out for them to use…?”The general manager wiped away his cold sweat and stammered, shuddering all the while, “CEO, we didn’t rent…we borrowed them the place to use…”“Meaning, it’s free?”“Yes.”“Is there a contract?”“No…”The general manager was a littl
Not a moment later, Ethan Hunt brought in a dozen of well-trained sergeants to the front of the stage.Under the horrified gazes of the group of stars, they approached Harvey.Ethan Hunt knew Harvey’s habit. He didn’t speak even after Ethan bowed. Instead, his cold eyes fell on Carter and the celebrities. Apparently, these people would be taken down immediately the moment Harvey gave the order.Army?Were they truly from the army?Carter, who was feeling complacent not too long ago, was now filled with confusion.He never expected that the man in front of him wasn’t just your run-of-the-mill CEO.With one random call, the military came and secured the premises. As of now, his fans were being sent out one by one…At this moment, even if he wanted to get away, it would be difficult.Let alone calling his fans to destroy the mall!The people in the army were different from the police inspectors. Inspectors might still care about public opinion, but the army couldn’t be bothe
In the next second Harvey began to speak, but his tone was icy.“You begged me because my status is higher than you, my position is higher than yours, and I’m more powerful than you. Isn’t that right?”“Yes, yes, yes. This is natural…” Yuna nodded so fast, looking like she was pounding garlic.“But if I don’t have this status and position, wouldn’t you have sent me to the police by now?”“If I were an ordinary person, then I don’t even have the right to walk out of this mall?”“You’re just celebrities, but you act so arrogant and domineering. You’re not that popular and famous, but you thought you are upper-class elites?!”“What a bully! How could people like you be called a divine man? Goddess?”“And you even had the audacity to lecture me about privileges? There are more people with privileges these days. If everyone is the same as you and think that they’re the king of the world over an insignificant achievement, wouldn’t society fall into a mess?!”“It’s okay for you to hol
Finally, Harvey York turned to Carter Coen.“To be a man, we stick to our words. If you want to destroy my mall, just do it. If you refuse to act on your words, you’re nothing but a sissy!”Carter’s face turned pale, and the corner of his eyes twitched.Indeed, he was a flower boy. His biggest taboo was someone calling him a sissy.However, the one who said it was this man. He didn’t dare to argue, and could only nod and bow.In the end, Harvey left and went to the Spinning Restaurant to have a meal. If he didn’t, he would certainly starve to death.Ethan Hunt also led his team and left. Everyone dispersed.The shopping mall was quickly restored its original order.Soon, Xynthia Zimmer also arrived at the Spinning Restaurant and found Harvey.“Brother-in-law, you didn’t see it just now! It seems that a big shot was here. He wanted to go out but was stopped by those security guards!”“Then, he immediately canceled all the commercial performances in Buckwood. I won’t be able to
“He sent us the invitations himself, it’s no good if we don’t attend!” Lucian Trescott said, as this matter it was something that had to be done.“Fine, we’ll all go together,” Ethan Hunt said.Soon, the Yorks found out that Ethan Hunt would attend Grandma York’s birthday banquet.Yonathan York was relieved when he received the news.“Looks like I still have some use left in me, somehow…”“Even though Ethan Hunt is just a lieutenant colonel, the Sword Camp is the military’s core in South Light. The military’s soul...”“Since Ethan Hunt willingly joined the Yorks, this means that the military force in all of South Light belongs to us.”“After her birthday banquet, the Yorks will rival the formal glory we had three years prior!”Quinton York chuckled and said, “Congratulations, sir! Praise to the family head!”“Even after that man had left, the Yorks were still considered to be the top family in all of South Light.”“But a lot of lowly families have been trying to covet our pla
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
