The Bakers really held power in San Francisco.Right in front of Queenie York, by simply making a call, San Francisco’s Construction Company’s CEO already promised Sam Baker that he would sign the agreement and take the deposit. Still, he definitely wouldn’t commence the project. For sure, he wouldn’t start working till it’s delayed for eight or ten years.And by delaying for eight or ten years, then Sky Corporation’s layout in San Francisco and the whole of Gangnam would end unsuccessfully.After all, based on Halsey Lowe and Harvey York’s line of thinking, it’s best to complete the construction of the commercial center in half a year and finish all the preparation of integrating resources and spreading of branch offices.And Sam’s strategy would be as if destroying Harvey and Halsey’s original plan right away.“Miss, I wish to use the Bakers’ influence to issue a ban amongst the whole of Gangnam’s construction industry. That is, everyone is prohibited from cooperating with Sky C
The gangster in the lead laughed maliciously after hearing that. “Little slut, did you think we wouldn’t know about your call?“That brother-in-law of yours offended our Prince, and now he’s off in hiding after that!“If not because of that, he would have been long dead!“We only gave you the chance to call him to make him come back here. If not, do you think you’ll even get that chance?”As he spoke, the leader walked to Xynthia Zimmer’s side and grabbed a fistful of her hair to lift her head.“Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a young beauty we have here!“My brothers, it’s been a long time since everyone had some fun!”In the midst of his speech, the leader stood up to unbuckle his belt.Xynthia wasn’t a three-year-old kid anymore. How could she not know what he was about to do?“No, no!”At that moment, her initially stubborn face instantly turned pale white as she retreated backward frantically. At that moment, she’s not concerned with the floor full of mud anymore.“Ho, ho, ho… Only
Ethan Hunt had a remorseful expression on his face as he answered, “Chief instructor, due to the recent change of the defense team in the South Light’s army, I couldn’t protect my sister-in-law properly. I…”Harvey gestured to him to pipe down and said slowly, “Skip to the main point.”Ethan breathed in deeply and said, “I’ve checked the matter thoroughly. The one attacking might be the Prince from the first-class family, the Surreys, Luke Surrey. His godfather was the king of South Light’s dark side, Ryan Gotti. Those gangsters should be Ryan’s underlings.“Luke Surrey seemed to attack because of you, chief instructor. Sister-in-law is lucky because there are higher-ups from Sky Corporation discussing working matters together at the construction site. So, she’s still safe for now.“However, Xynthia was brought over by them from school. I heard that security tried to stop them but were all beaten up.”Harvey’s face softened up slightly. Fortunately, nothing happened to Mandy, or e
The Sword Army’s chief instructor!The living legend!Even the ruler of country H honored and valued him deeply. He intended to temporarily make him the chief instructor of the nine great troops at Wolsing. After that, he would be an authority in the army.How could Greg Finch afford to offend someone like him?“I don’t dare to! It’s just because of my, my work duties. If I knew earlier that it’s the chief instructor who’s inside, I wouldn’t dare to interrupt even if I’m beaten to death.”Now, Greg wished he could choke the Surreys to death.‘You could have offended anyone but the chief instructor.‘They must be complaining that their lifespans were too long!’Meanwhile, those officers who followed Greg along were all pale-faced with storms inside them.The Sword Army’s chief instructor, anyone alive in country H would’ve heard of his name.He led the Sword Army all by himself to fight the five great countries, thus set country H’s unbeatable position on the whole planet.Ho
Yannick Bisson sounded bitter on the other side of the phone, and he slowly spoke after a while. “Since you said that you want to be on guard outside, then just watch over us well.“When the Chief Instructor is doing things, just turn a blind eye. Act as if you can’t see anything and you don’t know anything! Do you understand?“As the pressure from the Surrey family, I’ll handle it for you!“Old Finch, the matter has gotten too big this time. We’re both at the center of the controversy. If we don’t tread carefully, we might be dead on the spot. Don’t take this matter lightly!”“Yes!”Greg Finch said in a deep voice and hung up the phone.It was just that he already wanted to set clear boundaries with the Surrey family.The Surrey family was undoubtedly the real deal. They even dared to provoke the Chief Instructor and even asked us, the Buckwood Police Station, to arrest the Chief Instructor.Could they stop being so ridiculous?***At the same time.Harvey York left the vil
At this moment, a figure walked out from the dark.The person said coldly, “Luke Surrey, didn’t you come here to find me? I’m here now.”Harvey York’s figure appeared behind the crowd after he finished speaking.Luke Surrey immediately turned his head. There was a hideous expression on his face once he saw Harvey. “It’s you, trash! I thought you had run away, but I didn’t think you would dare to come here to die!“Somebody, get him for me!”At this time, Mandy Zimmer was also stunned when she saw Harvey come out.“Harvey, quickly go!”In her opinion, how could Harvey be the opponent of those gangsters?However, it was already too late for Mandy to speak at this moment. Now, a dozen gangsters were already rushing toward Harvey, wanting to smash him with the steel pipes and baseball bats.“Don’t!”Upon seeing this scene, Mandy only felt that the sky was spinning and fainted on the spot.At this moment, the first gangster with a baseball bat had already rushed in front of Harve
Harvey York stepped forward, hugged Mandy Zimmer, and said softly, “Don’t worry, everything is fine. I went to pick up Xynthia an hour ago. She’s okay now. She’s sound asleep!”“Is she okay?!” Mandy was in disbelief. She did not believe that her live-in husband could do that.Harvey knew that Mandy would not believe in him even if he explained at this moment. Thus, he sighed and said, “Prince York knew about this. He actually sent someone to rescue Xynthia.”Mandy finally believed after hearing this. “Wah…”. She, who was usually headstrong, finally burst out in tears at this moment.She was truly terrified of what happened today.Some people suddenly appeared and stopped her at the construction site. If it weren’t for the people from Sky Corporation who happened to be there, she might end up in a bad situation.“I shouldn’t have left Buckwood. I’m to blame for all this.” Harvey felt guilty.“Good that you know!“Harvey, why did you provoke Luke for nothing?!“Don’t you know wh
Harvey York nodded in agreement. “Okay.”“Harvey, you can’t stay. They are bad people. They…” Mandy Zimmer desperately shook her head. In her opinion, no matter how good Harvey’s fighting was, there were so many people on the other side. If he stayed, he would only end up dying.“Go and find Xynthia. She needs you. Also, I don't know where your parents are. Contact them as soon as possible.”Harvey reasoned with her in a deep voice.He then glanced at those senior executives of Sky Corporation.Those executives knew about Harvey’s identity. After all, Harvey had shown up during the previous asset integration ceremony.Nonetheless, they all knew that Harvey’s identity was top secret.At this moment, they did not talk nonsense at all. Instead, they directly dragged Mandy, who was still crying, and escaped following Harvey’s signal.Meanwhile, Cech Gotti stood on the side with his arms crossed. He did not let anyone block Mandy and the others escape.However, more and more gangst
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
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 easy—after 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 you…"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
"You… Hale! How…" 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. "Honey… 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 me… And has been betraying me…"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
