After announcing the price, George shot Harvey a defiant look.546 million was the highest price Morgan Financial Group could afford.They had to set aside some funds to settle in Buckwood.George wanted to see if this man dared to follow.If he didn’t, Regency Enterprise would fall into Morgan Financial Group’s hands.However, should Harvey continue to increase the price, George couldn’t follow up and add on the price anymore.Nonetheless, George wanted to see how this low-class monkey could come up with 546 million.At this moment, everyone’s eyes fell on Harvey.Mandy, who was on the side, looked nervous.Judging by George’s expression, everyone knew he couldn’t pay a higher price.Everyone wanted to see what Harvey would do. Harvey smiled at George and raised his placard. He said indifferently, “625 million.”These few words, spoken lightly, shocked everyone present.“What?!”“625 million?!”Everyone’s complexions became awful when they heard this price.Everyone a
George’s face was filled with arrogance.His warning shook everyone back to their senses. That was 625 million!It wasn’t merely 6.25 dollars!Did this seemingly ordinary Harvey really have the money?At this moment, the complexions of the Buckwood government officials present became awful.If Morgan Financial Group used this event as an excuse to create trouble, some of them might lose their jobs.After all, they were in charge of this auction. Naturally they would take the credit if it succeeded, but it would also be their responsibility if it failed.A government official stood up and turned to Harvey. “Sir, you need to prove you have enough assets to participate in this auction!”“If you can’t, you’ll be temporarily detained for disrupting international business activities.”“You must also apologize to the honorable Sir George.”At these words, Harvey asked nonchalantly, “I have to prove it? What about him?”Harvey pointed at George.The staff member smiled and said,
George knew what a live-in son-in-law meant.A cold chuckle leaked out of him.“You’re actually looking down on me when you’re just a kept man?”“I already told you. If you can’t prove your worth, then this will be considered a diplomatic dispute. I’m afraid you and your wife have to come with me to the embassy!”Harvey chuckled icily.“And what if I refuse?”“Then I shall report this incident to the Empire Parliament. I think they would want to inquire your government for a statement!” George retorted coldly, a threatening expression on his face.In the past, it would be unfavorable for him to do something like this.“You threaten me? And my country?”Harvey frowned.“So what if I threaten Country H? It’s just a country full of monkeys anyway!”George chuckled coldly.The people present all frantically changed their expressions after hearing those words. Even those from the Buckwood government did the same.Although quite a lot of people fawned on foreigners, how many of
“This!”Gasps from the crowd echoed throughout at this very moment.“It worked?”“How is that even possible? He actually paid six hundred and twenty-five million dollars?”Those from Morgan Financial Group became so terrified, to the point where they almost fell to the ground on their hinds. The ashtray in George’s hand fell onto the carpet with a loud clang.This…How did he meet such an amazing mega tycoon the very first time he came to Country H?Out of everyone there, Mandy was the most shocked. She could barely comprehend how Harvey had made the Naiswells give her the resort before.But he actually had six hundred and twenty-five million dollars to buy Regency Enterprise?Where did he get all that money from?The pocket money Mandy gave him could never accumulate to that amount!Before Mandy could return to her senses from her shock, a Buckwood government worker said respectfully, “Mr. York, please follow us backstage to go through the formalities!”Clearly, the wo
George held his broken hand, almost crushing his yellow teeth in anger.“No! We of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets will never be embarrassed like this in a small country from the far East!”“We won’t let go of this matter that easily!”“I’ll cripple that man!”“Regency Enterprise is mine!”“That woman will be mine as well!”“What should we do then, Master?” George’s servant, King Cook, asked from the side.He was a citizen of Country H, but he had acquired a green card from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. At this moment, he had completely identified himself as a servant of said country.Such xenophiles were usually the most shameless.He would be utterly ruthless toward his fellow citizens just to pamper his new master.King had already begun to rub his palms together, thinking of ways to avenge his new master.George took a deep breath and asked, “How many people did we bring this time?”“A total of thirty people. The one leading the group is a retired knight
If it really were true, then it would explain a lot of things.Including Prince York himself proposing to Mandy.And why the Naiswells would just give her the resort.How Harvey had six hundred and twenty-five million dollars to spend.And how Harvey had the guts to break George’s hand.Along with many many things before, they all had a proper explanation.But the problem was that if Harvet was indeed Prince York himself, why didn’t he tell Mandy?Mandy frowned. She studied Harvey, question marks constantly popping out her head.…When everything was over, Harvey and Mandy had no intention to stay any longer. They got in their car and immediately left.With Regency Enterprise at hand, there were many things to arrange.Right after the two had left, George, who had a plaster cast, along with a few other men, kicked the door down.Seeing the empty room, George’s expression turned as cold as ice.“Where are they?”King replied timidly, “Master, they must’ve just left. My men
About thirty people exited the cars from both sides and strode toward Harvey.They were all tall and strong, with a distinctly western appearance. They looked as though they could each take on ten men at once, bearing a very imposing and terrifying manner.They held electric batons made for the police, and their expressions were as cold as ice.After parking neatly and locking his car, Harvey got out and studied the men calmly. King Cook emerged from the crowd of men. He sized Harvey up with an icy chuckle.“Kid, you’ve got guts!”“You dare to get out of the car even after seeing us?!”Harvey then replied calmly, “Get out of here right now while I’m still in a good mood. If you interrupt my wife’s rest, I’ll break all of your limbs.”“Hahaha…!”King and his men all burst into laughter. “I’m done talking nonsense with you. Go and cripple this man together!”With King’s cold chuckle, several fighters rushed forward in a split second.Bang!But Harvey immediately stretched
After five minutes, George arrived at the scene.A smile came to his face when he saw the cars nearby. “You dare to go against me, Harvey York? You can go die!”George got out of his car swiftly, but what he saw the next second shocked him.King was lying on the ground along with all of his fighters, every single one of them unconscious.They were all retired soldiers. How could this possibly happen?‘How is this possible?!’George’s face was filled with shock. These people were a part of his team when he arrived at Country H. With the fighters crippled, he had no way of explaining the situation to the board of directors in Morgan Financial Group.George’s sight shifted around, but Harvey’s car was nowhere to be found.At this moment, a silhouette approached him. It was Harvey himself.“What did you do? What happened here?” George asked subconsciously.Harvey smiled.“I sent these people straight to hell. I’ll send you there next.”“You! You can’t touch me!”“I’m a lord
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
