It had only been a few days since Tassa arrived at Buckwood, but in the short time she was here, she had known everything about Harvey’s misfortune. He had become Buckwood’s biggest news recently, after all.She handed Harvey a name card and said, “Mr. York, our company has just been established. We need quite a lot of manpower right now.”“If you don’t mind, you can consider coming here for work.”“We are a newly established real estate company. The pay isn’t that great for now, but the space is relatively large.”Sensing no malice from this unknown beauty, Harvey smiled and took the name card she handed to him.“Alright, thank you. I’ll be sure to call if necessary.”The sight made Mandy, sitting from the other side, bubble with jealousy.Her own husband was already like this, yet there were still frivolous women swarming him.It was clear he wasn’t just any ordinary man.The thought flashed in Mandy’s mind for a second.Because Harvey was sitting with two beautiful women n
Mandy still vividly remembered what happened at the resort before.Harvey narrowed his eyes, struck by the sinking feeling that something bad was about to happen.Morgan Financial Group had been extremely discreet recently, and hadn’t done anything out of line. Due to this, Harvey didn’t bother to pay them any mind. Yet tonight, Eddy was made the banquet’s main character!Interesting.“CEO Zimmer, this is what you don’t know. Morgan Financial Group was built in The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets through the real estate industry. They have properties in Hong Kong and Las Vegas, and all of them are selling like hotcakes!”“Morgan Financial Group has shown interest in a piece of Buckwood’s land. They’re prepared to start development on it.”“If they actually carried out their plans, then all of us present might need to cling to Morgan Financial Group to survive!”“Who else is worthy of the title of tonight’s main character other than the company’s representative?”“People lik
“What?! She’s Tracy Flores?!”The mention of this name baffled the many men present.Tracy was a renowned dancing beauty who had gained popularity on an online platform for the past few months. After her claim to fame, it was said that she had received many advertising offers. She was considered someone many men longed for, but ultimately untouchable.Yet someone like her actually followed Eddy, and he didn’t even bother knowing her name? They shot gazes of admiration, jealousy, and hatred towards Eddy.Tracy’s face went ice-cold when she saw that there were some who recognized her. She seemed to bear no fondness for foreigners. Dexter approached Eddy for an enthusiastic handshake. “Do you still remember me, Mr. Eddy? We’ve met before! I was the one who handled your company’s credentials…”“Mr. Holt. Of course I remember. Please drop by Morgan Financial Group headquarters for tea when you have the time,” Eddy said.Eddy only said that out of basic courtesy, but it was enough
Mandy frowned. She wasn’t stupid.How could someone from the Morgan Financial Group not know about what happened last time?What good could come out of Eddy calling her over?However, beggars can’t be choosers…As Mandy was about to stand up, Harvey reached out his hand to stop her. He said calmly, “ Morgan Financial Group means nothing. What right do they have to force my wife to greet them?”“Are they even worthy?”Just like that, everyone’s attention was now glued on Harvey.The words that came out of Mandy’s live-in husband stunned them completely. ‘That’s Morgan Financial Group he’s talking about!’‘How dare someone be this disrespectful towards Morgan Financial Group in front of so many people?! How could he say that?!’‘He’s trying to get himself killed!’Everyone glared at Harvey, as though he was a complete and utter fool.Zach was boiling with anger. He glared at Harvey and shot furiously, “CEO Zimmer! What is wrong with your husband?”“He won’t pay his respects
Eddy’s eyes blazed with anger as he glared at Harvey, who remained seated.He was a duke in The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, and enjoyed a prestigious status. Yet this monkey from Country H dared to ignore him!His anger rose tenfold when he saw Mandy and Tassa next to Harvey. Both women were far more attractive than Tracy, who was standing beside him.Not only were they elegant, but their figures were unmatched and they exuded a genteel aura.Tracy herself was quite beautiful, but she looked too much like a loose hussy. Eddy still felt content when he looked at her, but as soon as he saw Mandy and Tassa, he immediately started comparing Tassa with them.The guests present knew that things won’t end peacefully when they saw the fire in Eddy’s eyes. Zach glared coldly at Harvey.This live-in son-in-law really was looking to get himself killed!‘Doesn’t he realize that he has the worst status here?’‘He actually dared to provoke Mr. Eddy in such a way?!’‘If he’s n
Mandy took a deep breath. Her face had lost some color. She took a look at the contract and immediately frowned.This was the second time someone wanted to get ahold of Regency Enterprise.The Jeans from Mordu had already given her quite a lot of pressure before.Morgan Financial Group had increased the pressure tenfold.“I’ll give you three minutes to consider this. It’s up to you to sign the contract or not.”“But if you don’t sign, bear in mind that Morgan Financial Group will never allow someone that insulted the company off the hook!”Eddy laughed coldly.His bodyguards stepped forward with expressions as cold as ice, as if to go along with Eddy’s declaration. Their bloodlust was all too evident, enough to freeze the entire crowd with just one simple movement.Dead silence filled the venue. Everyone was holding their breath, and not a single puff of air slipped out.They all knew that it would do no good to offend Morgan Financial Group.They turned to Mandy, their faces
Harvey ignored everyone, and instead glanced at his clothes.“My wife gave me this shirt. I’m very fond of it.”“I’m angry right now, but I’m giving you a chance. Tell the ambassador of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to come kneel and apologize to me. If not, I won’t let you off the hook until all of our grievances have been avenged!”“What?! The ambassador of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets?!”His words had utterly shocked everyone present.Everyone was dumbfounded.After ten whole seconds, the crowd came back to their senses.“Harvey, are you mad? Do you know what that means?”“You want the ambassador of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to kneel and apologize to you? Dare you accept the apology?”“If word spreads, this will be considered a diplomatic dispute!”“You’re mad! You’re actually insane!”“Are you even worthy?! You’re just a live-in son-in-law! You don’t have the right, even if you were supported by Prince York himself!”Zach and the others were
Harvey threw out a kick, immediately breaking Eddy’s knee.Eddy let out a scream akin to a pig being slaughtered, and fell into a kneel before Harvey.Slap!Harvey then made his way to Tracy and slapped her so hard until she collapsed to the ground. The slap was so powerful, it seemed to have turned her face crooked.In no less than a minute, the two who had openly flaunted their pride were now brought to a kneel before Harvey.“Harvey? Do you know what you’re doing?! You just hit someone from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets! You’re looking to get yourself killed!”“Harvey, you’re insane!”Zach and Dexter’s sights turned black. Even if they wanted to stop Harvey, they had no courage to do so. Harvey turned to gaze calmly at them. Then, he casually grabbed a wine bottle on the table.Shatter!The sound of glass breaking rang out as the wine bottle burst into pieces. Eddy’s head was now dripping with copious amounts of blood, and his body was swaying all over.“I’ll sma
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
