Harvey York did not even bat an eye toward Grant Bright and waved at Mandy Zimmer.“Darling, hurry inside. Let’s go home.”Even though Mandy slightly froze for a moment, she immediately snapped back to her senses and got into the car.When the car’s tail light could be seen, only then Grant came back to his senses.‘This woman’s husband is this rich?‘He can just buy a nine hundred thousand car willy-nilly? The car’s more expensive than my house!’‘No, I heard that the man is actually a live-in son-in-law. So, that means the car actually belongs to her?’In just seconds, Grant’s eyes only showed utmost greed.He only thought about sleeping with Mandy previously.But then his thoughts have changed.Now he wanted to kick Harvey out and replace him.He believed that with his capabilities and talent, he could get closer to Mandy Zimmer. That woman and the riches that she owned would all be his.***In the car.Mandy was confused.The car was just too expensive. It was more h
“Huh? What’s going on here?”Mandy Zimmer explained the situation about someone trading a ten-year lease of an office building for a villa.“Harvey, didn’t I tell you before that the villa is for free? You didn’t keep his money afterward, did you?” Mandy asked.“No need to ask. He obviously kept the money. If not, he wouldn’t even have nine hundred dollars in his pocket, let alone nine hundred thousand for a car!”It seemed like Lilian Yates understood what had transpired.Lilian wanted to slap Harvey across his face, but she ultimately held it in since Harvey spent the money on Mandy.Mandy let out a sigh and could not help but massage her temple soon after.The other person might not mind Harvey keeping the money.But Mandy wanted to return the favor to that person somehow, and it seemed like Harvey had already ruined the chance.She thought that his husband had improved since then, but she felt a hint of disappointment once again.Looking at Mandy’s expression, Harvey knew
Ten in the morning.Buckwood’s housing management and safety systems had taken action.Even the few managers in the construction team were immediately taken away by the police to cooperate with the investigation.There were even rumors saying that all of the company’s credentials would be revoked and halted all of the company’s operations.When the news had spread, the Silver Nimbus Enterprise was paralyzed.Mandy Zimmer was in a company meeting. Everyone was devising a strategy, but the meeting room’s doors were furiously kicked open at this moment.“Whoever’s responsible, please come with us. We are a task force assembled by several important systems to investigate your company’s situation.”The man leading the group was none other than the second-in-command of South Light General Police Station, Alex Swift.And the men that he came with came from South Light’s housing management systems, the safe system, and so forth. Every one of them was very professional big characters in
“Is that so?“Can you guarantee that the materials have no problems at all?“You should know that your construction site uses ten tons of materials every single day!“Can you, the CEO, even supervise everyone every single day?“As for Senior Oskar Armstrong, is it because you knew that he purchased property here that you have no worries about selling them? That’s why you’re trying to cut corners and earn dirty money?!“I’m telling you, there are a lot of people that ordered villas from you. If we find out that there’s actually a quality problem with your houses, you’ll be finished!“You’re doing the equivalent of offending a whole lot of big shots. You won’t have the chance to be in the business circle anymore!”Alex Swift was laughing coldly while delivering his speech, making Mandy Zimmer’s face lose all color.She knew that refuting at this moment was futile.Because something really did happen in the construction site.At this moment, the people from the Buckwood Police S
Soon, Alex Swift took Mandy Zimmer with him to cooperate with his investigation.The entire company’s management and operations had descended into utter chaos. The situation was truly horrible.***At the same time.Typically, Oskar Armstrong was still visiting. He had not left for the past few days. He did not know what had happened outside.Suddenly, some noise was echoing in the hallways.“What’s going on here? Do you not know that you need to be quiet in hospitals?”Oskar Armstrong signaled a nurse beside him to see what was happening outside.But at this moment, a few people rushed into the room. They were media journalists.“Senior Armstrong, we heard that you had accepted millions of dollars worth of endorsement fees to act out a scene with them at the construction site, is that correct?”“You already knew that there was a quality problem with the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort. Is that true?”“But you still chose to be their spokesperson because of money, and you chos
Oskar Armstrong was the top man in the medical field.Usually, when he wanted to perform a procedure, many big characters would kneel to beg for him.But somebody actually did not believe in him that day. Instead, they wanted him to pay with his life.Even Oskar could not imagine what happened.“How is this possible?!”The most important thing was that he trusted Harvey York the most!He was the chief instructor for the Sword Camp, a myth that held off against the five strongest countries by himself, truly a legend.How could a man like that even dig him a deep grave such as this?And with that man’s wealth, did he even need his wife to proceed with a jerry-built project just to get a little more money?No!There was no need!The man’s wealth could rival countries. He would not even bat an eye toward such a trivial amount of money!Without a second thought, Oskar furiously slammed the wall with his hand and exclaimed, “Silence! I’ll give everyone a fair statement about this
Keith Yates snorted, “How dare he!”“Prince York or not, the matter has escalated to such an extent that even Oskar Armstrong is involved!”“Many nobles from Wolsing, Mordu, Golden Sands, and other places are paying attention to this matter!”“Sheldon Xavier himself cannot intervene, let alone Prince York!”“Unless someone can provide evidence that Mandy Zimmer is innocent, there’s no need for her to come out!”The entire Yates family laughed at Keith’s words.Leyton smiled. “Mandy’s still too young. After this incident, she’ll finally understand how important it is to have support.”“Without the Yates family behind her, she’s nothing!”Keith frowned. “In my opinion, we should just let her stay in the company for a few more years. Wouldn’t it be better if we take over the entire Silver Nimbus Enterprise instead?”Grandma Yates replied indifferently, “Mandy’s still somewhat capable. The rest of us here have no experience in business. We may not be able to make any profit.”“Le
The Yates family had set up various preparations. On the other hand, Mandy’s family had fallen into a desperate state of impatience and anxiety due to Mandy’s arrest.Harvey, who was at Sky Corporation, received the news immediately.Never had he expected that someone would dare to target Mandy and Silver Nimbus Enterprise right under his nose.“CEO York! According to the information I’ve found, there’s a high probability that the incident this time is related to Regency Enterprise.”Yvonne exclaimed with a frown, her hands clutching several documents.Although she hadn’t come to work recently due to various issues with the Xavier family…The moment she discovered something had happened to Mandy, she disregarded her affairs and hurriedly returned to the office. “Other than Regency Enterprise, I suspect there are also government officials controlling everything from behind the scenes. Otherwise, the media and the people wouldn’t react this quickly!”“The hardest thing right now
Slap!Harvey gave another slap at Jun's face."So what if I did? I'll kill you if you waste anymore of my time!" Before Jun could even finish, Harvey had already grabbed him by his neck. Onmyojis are physically weaker than most, so Jun could not fight back at all while being held like that."You fool! Release Mr. Jun!""Mr. Jun is one of the best among the onmyojis in Sky Plane!""Don't show any disrespect!"All the Islanders roared when they saw Harvey disrespected Jun so much. They quickly drew their long swords and pointed them at Harvey. Dozens of people also started to approach Mandy. Clarion and the others also reacted quickly, protecting Mandy behind them. The atmosphere between both sides became extremely tense in just one moment.Harvey's hand never released Jun's throat as he calmly turned to Kenta and said, "Alright, Kenta. Let's continue the discussion of our three conditions. The first condition is that you must escort us out of Sky Plane and guarantee our safety. A
"You really are very impressive, Kenta. It's quite rare for someone like you to exist within the Fujihara family," commented Harvey after he took a deep breath and loosened his fists. "I have a feeling that someone like you will eventually climb up the ladder. Who knows, you might be the next Island Nation's Emperor."All the Islanders around them had strange looks after they heard what Harvey had just said. Even Kenta's eyes twitched before he replied helplessly, "You're joking, Mr. Harvey. I'm just someone from the branch family. The emperor's throne has always belonged to the main branch and the main branch alone."Then, Kenta changed the subject after that. "Since it sounds like you have a change of mind, does it mean you're willing to fulfill your part of the promise?"Harvey calmly said, "Not exactly. This is just a simple trade, and so is the trade's content. I'll give you the Chapter of Ascension, and you promise three things. That's reasonable…"At this point, the mysterio
Looking at Kenta's expression, Harvey's eyes narrowed. The Islanders could become fanatical most of the time, and he knew that very well from how Kenta was presenting himself. Their people believed in collectivism to the point of radicalism. One single word from their superiors was enough to make them sacrifice themselves and fight to the bitter end, not to mention if they were convinced if it was for the greater good.In short, if he really refused to give them the Chapter of Ascension, then Kenta would really give up on this pretentious act and detonate the Emerald Jewel. However, while the Emerald Jewel could injure him, he knew it could not kill him. But, Mandy and the others were another case entirely. If the Emerald Jewel was detonated, none of them could escape.Harvey frowned, realizing that the situation was getting more complicated."Mr. Harvey, you understand that the Chapter of Ascension isn't worth the lives of the people here. Not to mention if you do manage to obtain
"Firstly, this is Sky Plane. This is the Sacred Martial Art Training Ground for the Island Nation. Based on the promise made between each of the Sacred Training Grounds, we can consider one as hostile if they enter without an invitation. That's why when you barged into this place without invitation and were suspected of murdering the citizens of Sky Plane, we have the right to stop you from leaving the place and investigate."Secondly, Mr. Sora is a citizen of Sky Plane. It is within reason for us to protect his safety. Thirdly, Grand City will need to give us a reasonable explanation for this."And finally, if any of you refuse to cooperate, then according to the laws of Sky Plane's Admin Board, we have the right to kill all the intruders!" said Kenta with a wide grin."I know you're extremely strong, Mr. Harvey. So strong that you're the best here. But the question is, what's the use if you have personal strength in this situation? Even if you can defeat a hundred, can you defeat
"Mr. Harvey, I know how powerful you are and how invincible you can be. I also have a lot of respect toward you and wouldn't dare show you any insolence," explained Kenta with a harmonious smile. "However, I need to negotiate with you as it's part of my duties. I hope you can calm down so we can talk."First of all, Ms. Mandy is alright. While it looks like you have to come and save her, you need to trust me when I said if it's not for our effort, the men from Origin Sword Style wouldn't have waited until today. With their powers, if we didn't try and stop them with everything we can, Ms. Mandy would be a corpse now. You have to give credit where credit is due, don't you think? I believe someone of your caliber won't deny it, right?"Secondly, I can swear by the name of the Ruling Royal Family that everything that happened today had nothing to do with us. Since we have decided to make a trade with you, we won't stab you in the back. Our conscience is clear when it's regarding this."
There were two men in extravagant yet classical outfits in the helicopter. Then, one of the men who were a little paler got out of the helicopter. The other man simply showed his face in the shadows of the helicopter's cabin.The man with the pale face gave Harvey a smile and bowed to him from a distance. His etiquette was perfect, and he was remarkably well-mannered.Then, he gave Harvey a gentle smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Harvey. Your reputation precedes you. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the persons in charge of the Sky Plane Admin Board. I'm Fujihara Kenta, a member of the Island Nation's ruling royal family. I'm also Daichi's younger brother. My brother has just given me a call saying that he's waiting for you at Grand City's Paradise Island Restaurant. He hoped that you could deliver the Chapter of Ascension as promised."Harvey's expression turned cold. After signaling Clarion to hold their positions and to protect Mandy, then he walked over and narrowed his eyes.
Mandy looked a little shaken in the smoke, but after she had regained her composure, there was a hint of calmness in her eyes. But the moment she saw Harvey, there was no hiding her joy.The two of them looked at each other. It seemed like it had been a very long time since they last met each other, especially after such a struggle.After hesitating a little, Mandy said breathlessly, "Harvey, you…"And then, she could not continue after that. From being husband and wife, and arriving at this point in time. All she could say was that this was fate. Mandy did not even know how to face Harvey anymore. She was worried that it was all a dream, a dream that she had while she was dying. And once she awakened, she would once again be pulled back into a reality of despair.Once she was sure that it was not a dream, she suddenly cried. "Harvey, it really is you…""I'm sorry. I was a little late. I should have come sooner," said Harvey as he walked over and held Mandy in his arms. He was fee
After Sora had said his piece to Harvey, he immediately roared, "Scram! All of you, move aside! That way, I can consider letting you all live! Otherwise, none of you can leave Sky Plane alive!"Slap!Harvey was not letting Sora have his way. Instead, he slapped Sora's face to the point where he fell to the ground. "Do you think you have the right to order me around?"Sora crawled back up and angrily yelled, "You dare to touch me, you fool?!"Slap!Harvey gave another slap. "So what if I touch you? You think I can't? Come now. Tell me who's the one behind all this?"Sora coldly replied, "There's no one else except me!"Slap!Harvey delivered another slap. "You? It's not that I'm trying to underestimate you, but someone with your brain can't think of such a scheme. Not only did someone leak out information to me, having Sverker to wait for me, even you are here to humiliate my woman. And you tell me there's no one else pulling the strings?"Harvey's expression turned cold. "I'm
All the Origin Sword Style elites only had horror-streaked faces when they saw Sora standing face to face with Harvey. They did not dare to make any move at all. There was no question about it. Harvey's decisiveness and calmness had already filled their hearts with terror to the point that Harvey's gaze were enough to make the elites shudder and fall on their knees.When faced with someone so powerful like Magnus, they had already lost the faith to make any attacks.Harvey looked at Sora, whose face was pale. With a smile, he said, "Do you want my woman to undress?"Sora's eyes twitched as he instinctively wanted to retreat. But in the end, he managed to compose himself. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Impossible! How can you be alive? Sverker went to stop you together with 500 Origin Sword Style elites! It was enough to kill multiple True Warriors! How is it possible that you're appearing before me unharmed!" Sora was almost screaming in the end. There was despair and regret in
