“They’ve always been vicious. Since Harvey angered them and they took him away, he’s as good as dead.”“You should remarry!”Finn was all smiles. He could barely wait. According to the agreement, that trash Harvey was about to die soon, right?That trash dared to make Finn kneel before him!He definitely deserved to die by the hands of those gangsters!Seeing everyone’s sneers, Mandy grew desperate. She then kneeled in front of Grandma Yates, crying piteously, “Grandmother! No matter what, Harvey is still your grandson-in-law!”“Have you forgotten? Previously on your birthday, he tried his best to give you a gift!”“Even if it’s only because of that reason, please let Uncle save him!”Grandma Yates sneered. “Bribing someone with a mere pill? He must be dreaming!”“Mandy! If you still acknowledge the Yateses as your family, then just turn a blind eye on this matter.”“Wait until the news of his death is confirmed, then go through the formalities for widowhood. Grandmother wi
The Yateses had been waiting for this day for far too long!They were a family of bureaucrats. They were unable to make much progress in the business industry.Due to the lack of funds, they were unable to rise into a top-tier family for a long time.Now that they had Silver Nimbus Enterprise’s equity in their hands, they were one step closer into becoming a top-tier family. To some of the Yateses, right now, they were already a top family. When Keith saw that Mandy had signed the agreement, he immediately dialed his phone. “Is this Yannick Bisson, the Chief Inspector of Buckwood Police Department? I’m Keith Yates.”“My grandson-in-law, Harvey York, was kidnapped by a group of gangsters from Siam. I’ll leave this matter to you. I expect some results within twenty-four hours!”“Yes!”On the other side of the phone, Yannick quickly saluted and went to arrange various things.After hanging up, Keith said nonchalantly, “Just wait for the news quietly. Yannick Bisson is the Chief
Thud!A figure was sent flying, falling straight in front of Eric.Eric’s face, initially full of smiles, instantly darkened. He automatically turned around.When he took in the scene before him, he grew so frightened that he began to tremble. What was going on?Did all the mercenaries just collapse so easily?“You…who are you?!” Eric yelled instinctively. “Who am I? I’m someone you can’t afford to provoke.”“Help me pass this gift to the people behind you. Tell them that this is the consequence of angering me.”Harvey approached Eric.Eric staggered back in fear, petrified. He stammered, “Don’t come!”Crack!Harvey wasn’t interested in exchanging any nonsense with Eric. He stepped forward and kicked Eric’s right leg.“Ugh!”Eric, whose right leg was now broken, rolled on the ground. Harvey, indifferent, continued to stomp on Eric a few more times, instantly breaking all of the latter’s limbs.When did Eric, who had lived a life of extravagance, would face a predicamen
“Harvey, are you alright? They didn’t do anything to you, right?” Mandy didn’t care about anything else and hugged Harvey, studying him carefully.She was so worried, she almost fainted. Had she not been strong enough, she might be lying in the hospital right now.“Honey, I’m fine. Don’t cry, let’s go back.” Harvey gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Mandy’s eyes.He would surely follow-up on this incident until the end, but right now it was inappropriate to say this in front of Mandy.“You should send Halsey to the airport first. She almost missed the plane for your sake.”“I have something to discuss with Uncle and the others.”Mandy said, inhaling deeply.Harvey was a little confused, but he did not think much about it. Instead, he took Halsey away and sent her to the Buckwood International Airport.Meanwhile, Keith asked a lawyer to come and testify to the agreement.“According to the agreement, from this moment on, all the equity that was originally in Miss Man
“What do you mean…?” Grandma Yates pondered slightly.“Mother, we have to complete the act. We’ve just acquired Silver Nimbus Enterprise today. If Harvey gets killed within these two days, Mandy will easily grow suspicious of us.”“While I’m not afraid, if they find out about us while investigating, it’d mean big trouble!”“This time, the Yates family’s gains are huge. Naturally, we must be careful in everything.”Keith didn’t become a hothead just because he had obtained Silver nimbus Enterprise. On the contrary, he remained composed. Grandma Yates said, “We’re fine, but are the Robbinses and the Cloudeses willing to accept this?”“Also, how do we explain this to the Second Young Master?”Keith pondered briefly before flashing a shrewd look. “I’ll let the Buckwood Police Department increase the intensity of patrol and publicize it, with the excuse of preparing for South Light Military’s switch of defenses ceremony.”“As for the Second Young Master, we’ll say that due to the f
After getting along with Harvey these days, Mandy discovered that she had actually accepted Harvey from the bottom of her heart.It was just, there were still some barriers between the two which prevented them from living like a married couple.After this incident, Mandy found that she was unable to leave Harvey.It was especially evident when she saw him taken away by those gangsters. Mandy never wanted to experience that heartrending feeling again. How about taking this opportunity to consummate tonight?Consider it the last memory in this house…? A shy look appeared on Mandy’s originally pale face.Harvey, who was at the side, looked baffled. What was going on with this woman?Weeping one moment, laughing the next, and then being shy again.“Honey, what’s the matter with you? I’m fine, aren’t I?” Harvey automatically comforted her.“Nothing, I just want to cry. Oh, right.” Mandy took the initiative to change the topic. “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook it for y
Mandy fell into a daze when she listened to Harvey’s words.Was it true that she was deceived? Did Harvey get away by himself?Thinking about it carefully, the time frame did not seem to match. Keith did mention that the results of the investigation would be known within twenty-four hours.However, Harvey re-appeared within an hour.“Harvey, what are you thinking? You’re still bragging!”“Do you know who took you away? Those are gangsters from the borders of Ohio! Those guys kill without blinking!”“If it weren’t for the Yateses, who control the police in South Light, sending out many inspectors to find you and causing tremendous pressure on those gangsters, how would you still be alive?!”“You’d probably end up as a corpse!”“Didn’t you see that the people on the streets are from the police department? Buckwood’s security was raised for your sake!”Both Simon and Lilian assumed that they had known the whole story. Hence, they were livid right now. In their opinion, Harvey’s
Harvey’s bold words rendered Simon and Lilian dumbfounded.After some time, Simon sighed and lamented, “Forget it. At this point, we won’t say anything anymore.”“It’s not an easy day for you today. Take a good rest.”After that, Simon dragged Lilian away.Disappointed!There was only disappointment in their hearts!Evn in this kind of situation, Harvey still talked big. They couldn’t be bothered to say anything more at this moment.To them, a person like Harvey was utterly hopeless.Mandy smiled. “Honey, don’t make fun of me.”“In the future, let’s think of a way to start a small business. It won’t be difficult to survive if we do our part.”“If it doesn’t work, we’ll go sell on the streets. Haven’t we been engaged in the street stall vendors recently? How about starting tonight?”Mandy would always do what she said, and had a strong drive.She then went online to search for several small commodity wholesale markets nearby, and then took Harvey to stock the goods with inte
The opposing force got out of the helicopters after they landed, armed with weapons. Some were melee weapons, some were firearms, and they looked high and mighty all the way.Kenta had no choice but to step up. He raised his hand and yelled, "I'm from Fujihara…"But before he could even finish, someone from the other side had already pulled the trigger. A bullet streaked through Kenta's hair, and he finally broke a sweat when he realized what had just happened.Harvey knew very clearly that they were coming for him after seeing what happened. That was why he decided not to stay still anymore and stepped forward. He coldly said, "You're here for me, aren't you? Tell Isoroku to come talk to me."I have to say you are quite brave, Harvey. Calling me by name without any honorifics," A stern and cold voice came from a helicopter right before them. The door opened, and an islander slowly walked out. It was a man with white hair and beard.His figure was thin and even looked sickly, defi
"You're someone who has experience, too. You know that you'll need at least three hours to prepare to get this many military helicopters deployed. It's not something that you can do in an instant. It means that while you're still fighting with Sora and his men, Isoroku has been standing by in this place."Not to mention that we Fujiharas will never work with them before getting what we want. Which means that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew that you will most likely survive even if you're at a disadvantage. That's why they've been staying here for a long time."While everyone knew that Kenta was probably just spewing nonsense, Clarion was still partially convinced when he heard how Kenta made his argument sound plausible. Could it be that Kenta was not the one pulling the strings here?Harvey narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "At the very least, Kenta's right about his social standing being insufficient to work with Isoroku. Not to mention that now that they have obtai
At this time, the helicopter was passing through rows of mountains and valleys. This area was uninhabited. After passing through this uninhabited area, one would arrive at the Golden Triangle. Once one passed through the Golden Triangle, one would reach Hyperborea and finally Grand City.It was around this time that Harvey could feel a burst of murderous intent."Crap! Everyone, brace yourselves!" Clarion suddenly yelled as he looked in front of him from the front seats. He even took out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a deep huff to increase his mental focus as his expression darkened.Harvey quickly walked over to the front and narrowed his eyes. Then, he saw a swarm of helicopters flying in mid-air in a tight formation. Harvey looked at the flag on the helicopters with a smirk and gave Kenta a glance. "This is your so-called guarantee?"Kenta's expression also darkened as he looked in front in disbelief. After a while, he finally spoke in a shaky voice, "Forget about the helico
Daichi had already checked the Chapter of Ascension earlier back in Grand City, but he could not leave with it. Only after Harvey gave his green light would Rachel pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi.Harvey gave Kenta a look and then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Pass him the thing and escort him out."Harvey was straight-faced when he said that. While he had read it through, he did not believe that the Chapter of Ascension would really allow one to reach Unity between Nature and Man. It was not that Harvey was underestimating Hale, but as a martial art elite himself, he knew very well that there were many things required an epiphany to comprehend, and not just some so-called Chapter of Ascension.If that thing was really as effective as people said, Hale would not be hunted for more than a decade. In no time, a few hours went by. Kenta picked up his phone and after listening to the other side, he smiled. "You really are an honest man. Working with you is a very pl
Kenta continued to speak to Harvey in a chatty manner. "Everyone here can see how powerful you are. Unless we can kill you without any doubt, we won't be able to survive your revenge later on. That's why… You can trust me."Harvey looked at Kenta coldly. "Of course you won't be able to kill me. However, I need to make sure Mandy and my men are safe. That's why there's no need to waste your breath here."All you need to do is to give me an answer. Will you come with us? Before we leave, someone will let Daichi examine the Chapter of Ascension. Once we've left Sky Plane for about an hour, that person will then pass the Chapter of Ascension to Daichi. Don't worry. I'm a man of my word."Kenta smiled. "We'll believe you if you're willing to personally guarantee it. It's decided then. I believe we can work well together. Now, let's go."As soon as Kenta finished saying that, he waved his hand. All the Islander elites stepped aside despite the weapons in their hands. This was also a way
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
