As expected from Halsey who had just returned from studying overseas, to have an impressive mouth on her. If it were any other person, they would be talked down by her to the point of utter embarrassment.But Harvey, who was already used to such words, did not feel a thing.Harvey glanced at Halsey through the rear-view mirror and asked full of curiosity, “What if I like being kept?”“Then I’ll finish you off myself,” Halsey coldly replied.Harvey shrugged.“Miss, are you studying the art of killing from abroad? Is killing me the first thing that you thought of? This is a federalist society!”“No need to smooth talk me. Soon, I’ll get you a big heap of money to leave Mandy alone.”“Rest assured, the money should be enough to last until you die happy!”“If you’re willing to leave Mandy, we can talk about the price.” Halsey continued icily.Harvey was speechless.“Miss, why do you keep talking about my and Mandy’s divorce? Can’t you be a bit more peaceful and friendly?”“The
The car swiftly drove down the streets of San Francisco in silence. The two soon reached the shopping center and stopped at the building of Sky Corporation’s San Francisco branch.The place that Halsey wanted to go was none other than this place.“I’ll leave my luggage with you for now, I’ll contact you again at night.”“Another thing. Hurry up and return the car already. The fees for today will be on me.”As she spoke, she threw a stack of money from her purse to Harvey.To her, the Bentley was rented by Harvey. Since that was the case, she would pay for him.She also generously gave a little more than the rent for Harvey’s hard work.It was safe to say that despite being prideful and fierce, Halsey still had some compassion left in her.Unfortunately, she was also treating Harvey like a servant.Out of respect for her admiration for Prince York, Harvey decided to be the better man and let her be.At that moment, Ray Hart gave a call.“Sir York, have you arrived at the San
They had to admit that Halsey Lowe was indeed very capable.Even though Harvey’s questions, which Ray asked, were really insightful, Halsey managed to answer them one by one.It was safe to say that she came prepared.Before she came here, she already decided that she wanted to be the general manager of the San Francisco branch.When the interview ended, Harvey knocked on the desk and immediately called Ray’s phone.“Tell her she’s been accepted.”Ray froze, but he soon replied, “Of course!”He did not have a stance of his own in front of Harvey. He only served Harvey.After putting the phone down, Ray flashed Halsey a smile.“Congratulations, Miss Lowe. I’ve just received a call from my CEO.”“He said that you’re very suitable for the position of general manager in our San Francisco branch. You can handle some of the procedures for today, and you’ll be able to oversee the businesses of the entire corporation from tomorrow onward.”“I hope we’ll get along together.”“What?!
Harvey was now certain of Halsey’s personality.He was indifferent at that moment, so he casually threw the money into the car’s armrest box.Halsey could not help but show a hint of disdain in her eyes after seeing that.She thought that she had judged Harvey correctly.She thought that the filth felt like he could get more money from her, which was why he was being attentive while having no other reason to do so!How could a man like this possibly be a good fit for Mandy Zimmer?Harvey did not forget to playfully tease Halsey and asked, “Are you here for business? Is it going smoothly? Don’t forget about me when you get rich!”Halsey rolled her eyes after hearing his nonchalant question.“Do you know what this place is?”“Isn’t it written on the building? It’s the San Francisco branch of Sky Corporation,” Harvey replied.“It’s a good thing that you know, because you should. After integrating all of the Yorks’ assets, this company is now the top corporation in all of South L
Halsey gave up on eating in the end. She only ordered a cup of coffee and started to sip on it.“You’re already full?”Harvey was curious.Halsey nodded, her face dark.She saw Harvey grabbing all the food in front of him and munching rudely on them.When Harvey was about done eating, Halsey then said icily, “Harvey, our ancestors have a saying: table manners meets character.”“I don’t even need to see your other behaviors to know that you’re a selfish person, and that you have absolutely no shame!”“If I guessed correctly, Mandy’s also paying for the rent of the house you two are living in, right?”Naturally, Halsey knew about the situation of Mandy living in The Gardens Residence.Harvey nodded.“Yeah. She’s paying for property tax, too!”“You! How shameless can a man like you even get?! How are you even fit for Mandy?!”Halsey was now shaking in anger.“Then what kind of man do you think is a fit for her?” Harvey asked.Halsey gave a humph when Harvey asked her that vi
After a brief moment of pondering, Harvey ultimately decided to stop Halsey’s way of thinking.He then seriously said, “Halsey, from what I know, Prince York isn’t that kind of playboy. It won’t work even if you get closer to him.”“Besides, he already has someone that he likes.”“Since you have a job already, do it properly.”“Stop thinking nonsense.”Halsey almost spat out her coffee after hearing Harvey saying all that with such a serious look.‘Does this man not understand the situation?’‘Not only is he useless, he even spits at other people’s good fortune!’Without a second thought, Halsey furiously replied, “The relationship between Prince York and I is none of your business!”Harvey sighed.“Halsey, do you really want me to say it bluntly?”“I’m not into you.”Pfffft!Halsey almost coughed out blood at that. She ground her teeth, shivering in anger.“Are you saying you’re the head coach and Prince York himself?”“Both,” Harvey said seriously.“You!”Halsey did
On the other side of the phone, Mandy was silent for a moment before declining Halsey’s offer.“Halsey, I know you’re doing this for my own good. But I’m already married to Harvey for more than three years. I’m already attached to him, so I don’t want a divorce.”“You…”Halsey did not know what to say at that moment. Her good friend must have been brainwashed by Harvey, right?If that was the case, Halsey needed to think of ideas that involved Harvey and incite him into asking for a divorce.Halsey could only gnash on her teeth. She marched back into the restaurant to look for Harvey.However, he had already left.…University of San Francisco.One of the ten most known universities in the country. Rumors said that the school spirit there was excellent. The university students were all public figures from Mordu and San Francisco.Harvey did not see anything special about the university while taking a stroll inside. He felt the place lacked in people and instead had a lot of m
“You…”“How shameless!”Halsey almost bit through her tongue. She couldn’t believe that a shameless man like this existed!And to think he actually had such thoughts about his wife’s good friend!Men like this shouldn’t exist!Harvey then calmly added, “See, you can’t even fulfil a simple condition like that. I don’t think we need to talk about it further.”Harvey wasn’t teasing Halsey. Instead, he wanted to see how close of a relationship she shared with Mandy.Halsey’s face had lost all color after hearing his words. She gnashed her teeth. “Fine! I’ll allow it!”“But you have to promise me that you’ll divorce Mandy right after, and you’re not allowed to harass her!”“And, you have to pretend like nothing ever happened between us!”“I’ll give you another hundred and fifty million dollars as compensation!”Halsey spoke in the manner of a fierce CEO.Harvey froze after listening to her exclaiming such words with an unyielding expression.The woman’s relationship with Mand
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
