At Buckwood Hotel.A few representatives of big businesses from Mordu gathered together. One of the men leading the group was Charlie Gibbs.He was standing on the side of a wine table at this moment while speaking respectfully on the phone.“Master Todd, rest assured. We remember what you asked of us!”“We’ll make sure to film a spectacular movie tonight. This woman will be robbed of her standing and reputation!”Charlie was showing an evil smirk.The Jean family actually controlled the few businesses that came from Mordu from behind the scenes.Todd Jean had given them orders last night. Charlie and the others would naturally do as he asked.After Charlie hung up the phone, he started to chug yogurt along with the other representatives. Yogurt is used to cure hangovers, and it has proven to be quite effective.Around half an hour later, the members of Regency Enterprise pushed the door and came inside.Charlie showed a sullen face while standing in front when he saw many pe
Looking at Mandy Zimmer being hesitant, Charlie Gibbs smiled.“CEO Zimmer, even strong forces like ours can’t meddle with local powerhouses! Regency Enterprise is the local authority, after all! Don’t tell me that you’re actually scared!”The others burst out laughing.“CEO Zimmer, you can’t be doing business if you can’t drink!”“Everyone that does business are all really good drinkers!”“We won’t force you if you don’t want to drink, but you can only abide by our terms of conditions in return!”Several bosses looked unperturbed, as if they had Mandy under their control.Harvey York walked up suddenly after seeing Mandy frown.“Alright, we accept!”All the higher-ups of Regency Enterprise glared at Harvey furiously after seeing him speak. They felt that Harvey did not have the right to represent Regency Enterprise.And Harvey was the one to blame for what happened to Regency Enterprise.Mandy sighed. She seemed a little disappointed as her gaze landed on Harvey.She wanted
Naturally, Mandy Zimmer knew full well that there would be no need to talk business if she changed her mind.Charlie Gibbs and the others let out a broad smile as if they had won.Everything was according to their plan. They felt delighted.That night, they would film a movie starring Mandy herself!As for Harvey York, the idiot, they would just spare him a few dollars when everything would be said and done.At that moment, Harvey walked up and then looked at Charlie with a sarcastic expression.“I only have one condition. You’d have to outdrink me before you can have a turn with CEO Zimmer!“If not, you have no right to drink with her!”“Alright then! Let’s have at it!”Charlie and the others could not wait any longer.Harvey was only one man, so what if he could drink a thousand glasses?They had ten men!“Right! Since we’re drinking, other miscellaneous people cannot be here. We wouldn’t want anybody else drinking for each other now!”Charlie glanced at the higher-ups a
“Come! Another round!”Rounds after rounds had passed.Finally, Charlie Gibbs and the others drank about forty ounces of liquor.Harvey York was even more insane. He drank at least four hundred ounces alone.But his face was still indifferent as if there was nothing wrong with him.Not only did the sight scare Charlie, but it also frightened Mandy even more. Her expression was horrible at this moment.She thought he was bluffing, but he was actually this capable!Charlie and the others drank yogurt earlier on to increase their alcohol tolerance.But they still felt horrible after drinking forty ounces of liquor.“Everyone, are you still holding up? Let’s continue for a few more rounds!” Harvey said while smiling, then asked the waiter to bring more potent liquor.Charlie and the others could barely hold in their bladder after seeing the sight.But they were in disbelief. They felt that Harvey could not possibly hold on any longer.Soon, liquor that had up to sixty percent a
Mandy Zimmer was scared away from the box. The sight was utterly disgusting.Charlie Gibbs was dumbfounded. It was his first time experiencing something this embarrassing.“Everyone, let me help you!”Harvey York smiled while looking at the others.How could he not see through those people’s evil intentions?He just did not give them time to react and poured the liquor right into their mouths.“Blaaargh!”Soon, those people had no control over their bowels.“CEO Charlie, we’re just getting started! How about another round?”Harvey smiled while carrying the Drink of Life to Charlie.Charlie was rolling on the ground, full of pain and despair.He tilted his head up just to look at Harvey while showing an unbelievable expression.‘Is he even human?’‘This is insane!’‘He just doesn’t get drunk!’“I… I can’t do this anymore!”Charlie shook his head while trembling in fear.“That’s not good. According to our deal, we’d have to settle a score here!”Harvey was smiling.“I…
“Nothing! Nothing! I’m just trying to say that Brother-In-Law will never be a fit for you! You’re just too outstanding!“Hurry up and divorce him already!” Xynthia Zimmer said shyly.Mandy Zimmer tapped on Xynthia’s head and replied, “You’re always up to no good!“You shouldn’t meddle with things that concern your brother-in-law and me, alright?“We’re adults already. You should focus on your studies!”Xynthia clicked her tongue and replied, “Well, I’d need a book to study from first! If Brother-In-Law can’t figure this out, you have to hand him over as repayment!”“What?!” Mandy thought she heard wrong.“Xynthia, do you even understand what you’re saying?”Mandy could not believe what she heard.Her own sister is always up to no good! How could she say something like this? Xynthia puffed her chest and tilted her head.“Of course I understand! He’d have to be responsible for me if I can’t study because of him!”Xynthia’s heart was full of glee when she said those words.
At the Yates family house from Buckwood.The house was basically deserted at this point.When the pillars of the family had fallen, the family itself withered.And the company, Silver Nimbus Enterprise, was robbed away from Mandy Zimmer, went completely bankrupt.In the span of just a few days, Grandma Yates’ hair had turned white as snow, as if she had gotten twenty years older.The previously grand and glorious Yates family from Buckwood had turned into a dilapidated family then.But the family still gathered together at this moment.“How is it? What did the Yates family from America say?” Grandma Yates swiftly asked Phoebe Yates, who just hung up on the phone.Phoebe trembled.“They agreed to help us, but on one condition.“From today onward, we would have to be the slaves of their family.”“From now on, we’ll be actual slaves for the Yates family from America.”The expressions of the family changed.“Grandma Yates, we can’t accept this offer! The Yates family from Buck
Todd’s eyes gleamed a cold gleam. He gritted his teeth. “Master Russel, please give me another chance. This time, I will certainly not fail!”That afternoon, Todd arrived at the Regency Enterprise with the contract from before.Mandy had to meet them, as they were also the stockholders of Regency Enterprise.“You’re Mandy Zimmer, aren’t you? We came here with only one thing in mind. We want all of Regency Enterprise’s stocks!”Todd spoke in an unyielding tone.Mandy furrowed her eyebrows. “That’s impossible. I just took over this company. Plus, the issue regarding the cash flow is being handled right now, and there’s a lot of development that can be done in the near future. Why would I sell the stocks to you?”“Yes, Mr. Jean. We wanted to sell the stocks a few days ago, but we’re not opting for that anymore.”“Perhaps you need to be more up-to-date with the recent happenings. Still, since you’re one of our stockholders, you can just sit back and enjoy all the future dividends.”
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
