Harvey York paid no attention to Cecilia Zachary’s scathing remark and simply laughed.“Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I do in fact have an invitation.”“Hahaha! You really do get more and more interesting by the minute.” Jake Surrey pointed at Harvey York. “I’ve met a lot of show offs, but one who goes this far is truly rare. Look, if you can show us your invitation right now, I’ll leave this place straight away and not say another word. But if you lose, you get out. What do you say?”Jake Surrey’s lips curved into a tiny smirk.“Listen, kid. If I were you, I’d turn around and leave right away to avoid further embarrassment to your wife.”Wyatt Johnson grinned. “Mr. Surrey, you forget. What sort of self-respect does a live-in son-in-law have left? Every bit of it is long gone by now!”Harvey York chuckled nervously, saying, “Fine, let’s gamble. I’d like to see who leaves next.”As he spoke, he reached into his pocket. The next second, his body froze. Though he did indeed bri
On the other side of the phone, Yvonne sounded helpless.“We just got into the lobby, but somehow Mr. York was forced out by a waiter. I’m looking for him right now…”Yvonne saw Harvey York sent out of the building without knowing the reason why.“Huh?” Dawson Robbins stammered in disbelief. “How do these people even do their jobs? How about this? I’ll come out to escort the both of you. Please wait a moment.”Dawson hung up and swiftly arrived at the main hall.Jake Surrey saw Dawson scurrying in his direction. He patted his clothes and signalled Mandy Zimmer with his eyes. Ambition written all over his face, he hurried over to greet Dawson Robbins.“Mr. Robbins, I am…” Dawson hurried past him without even batting an eye in his direction.The hand Jake had reached out froze in mid air, leaving him quite embarrassed.Cecilia Zachary behind him intervened quickly. “That was Mr. Robbins just now, right? Judging from how he looked, he must be going to escort a highly important g
At this moment, the waiter’s body quivered.‘There’s no way that this woman is actually Mr. Robbins’, right? If so, this kept man…’The thoughts he had were written all over his face. He almost couldn’t hold them in.Harvey wasn’t in a hurry, anyway. ‘Jake Surrey used his connections with the higher-ups of York Enterprise to get close to Mandy. The problem is, they won’t do him any good either way.’The moment the waiter arrived, Harvey said to him, “Didn’t you say I can’t attend the auction without an invitation? Why are you here, asking me back? What kind of joke am I to you?”The waiter was screaming on the inside.‘You wretched kept man! No, you disloyal cheater! How dare you still try to show off? If it weren’t for Mr. Robbins, you wouldn’t even have the qualifications to sweep the bathroom floors of the Mountain Top Villa!’Alas, he dared not reveal these emotions. Instead, he said respectfully, “I beg your pardon, sir. I didn’t know you were an important guest of Mr. Ro
Her cold and elegant demeanour painted an exceptionally glamorous image, but her smile roused many hearts into excitement.When she looked around Dawson Robbins, she caught sight of Harvey York and grew puzzled.‘What kind of reputation does Dawson Robbins have? Why is there a shabby looking man near him?’Rosalie knew her way around the world. She held herself from questioning about the man. Around this point of time, Jake Surrey and Mandy Zimmer had already entered the hall. Wyatt Johnson on the other hand, did not. He was mesmerized by Rosalie’s stunning appearance. He walked over, and let out a cold laugh.“Oh? If it isn’t the live-in son-in-law from the Zimmer household?” Wyatt said suavely, inching closer. “Weren’t you kicked out before? How did you manage to sneak back in?” “Mr. Robbins, young miss… This man is the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer household infamous throughout Niumhi. I’m not sure how he got in such a classy place like this, but I would suggest you don’t
Wyatt Johnson chuckled coldly.“No need to thank me. Even if you leave now, I would have to inform the Zimmers about the thief from their household coming here to taint my eyes. It won’t do if I don’t demand an explanation from them.”“Of course, I can give you a chance. Grovel and beg for forgiveness, and I’ll let it slide. What do you say?”Harvey York smiled wordlessly, not deigning Wyatt any reply.Dawson Robbins couldn’t hold himself back and burst out, “Mr. Johnson, are you out of your mind?”Dawson had always wanted to be acquainted with Harvey for some time, but there had been no opportunities. Inviting him to the Mountain Top Auction was simply an act of apology.He knew that Harvey York was a discreet person, hence why he was just standing from the sidelines during all this. But when he saw that he was being insulted, he couldn’t withstand it a second longer.“Mr. Robbins, do you really think that the existence of this live-in son-in-law won’t be a thorn in my eyes?”
If they continued to argue with each other, the Naiswells might be burdened too. That was unnecessary for Rosalie Naiswell. After all, the reason she went there was none other than for the auction.“Miss Naiswell, please wait for a moment…” Wyatt Johnson became nervous. ‘I had taken a slap for you. How could you leave just like that?’At that moment, he caught up with Rosalie while turning around. He then said with an ugly facial expression, “Dawson, it’s over for you now. Just you wait and see. Tomorrow, I’ll transfer my family's money out of the bank. You won’t be able to be the CEO of the bank anymore!”At that moment, Dawson Robbins did not even look at Wyatt. However, he turned around and looked at Harvey York. He then sighed and said, “Mr. York, I acted rashy, and I didn’t hold myself back. I hope you don’t mind.” Harvey smiled faintly and said, “If you didn’t do anything about it when someone scolded you and claimed that you’re stupid, I’ll really look down on you, Dawson
Although Rosalie Naiswell was a cold and aloof beauty, Mandy Zimmer on the other hand, was a charming natural beauty. Those two women sat there together just like two beautiful flowers. It was such a pleasing sight, just like a world renowned painting. But Harvey York just took his seat there casually, and he soon ruined the rare and exquisite sight. At that moment, both Jake Surrey and Wyatt Johnson had a drastic change in their facial expressions. “You’re just a live-in son-in-law. How did you even get in here? Staff! What’s wrong with your auction here? How could you let a person without an invitation card enter the auction house? Aren’t you going against the rules and regulations here?” Jake queried. “That’s right! Someone thought that he could enjoy the same treatment as ours after he became the live-in son-in-law. In the end, he doesn’t even know that he’s just a nobody!” Wyatt said coldly. “Yes! What is happening exactly?” “Don’t you organizers care to give us an ex
Soon, Jake Surrey sent a text message to Cecilia Zachary. Cecilia glanced at her phone. Although she was slightly helpless, she still stood up. She then smiled and said, “Mandy, don’t sit with this worthless piece of trash for the fear that you’ll be affected by his poverty and bad luck. You need to have some good luck today. Come and change your seat with me. Later, Mr. Surrey wants to take you to be acquainted with the superiors from the York Enterprise.”Mandy Zimmer replied without hesitation, “Forget it. I’ll just sit here.” At that moment, Mandy was in an awkward situation. But weirdly enough, she found herself feeling more comfortable and calmer, sitting there with Harvey York than compared to a while back when she was sitting beside Jake. That kind of comfortable feeling did not have anything to do with wealth. It was a feeling like she had returned to her own home, and now she was lying in her own little bed. Mandy also could not explain that feeling, where it came fr
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
"The joy's of youth," said Isoroku with a sigh of admiration. "To be young means to be fearless. It also means that there is no respect, and there is ignorance just how difficult it is for something to be overcome. When I'm in a good and chatty mood, you're attempting to anger me. You think that it's your power that makes me pause when I'm the one who's bestowing you this opportunity. You're simply too naive."Harvey calmly replied, "So you want to use your age to force me to respect you. Don't you understand that it's always out with the old and in with the new? If you don't, you'll really get thrown out one day."While the two of them were calmly exchanging words, the truth was from the moment they met each other, they were already clashing against each other. "Looks like there's nothing more to say."Isoroku sighed and slowly pointed the edge of his blade at Harvey. "I will now kill everyone close to you first before slicing your limbs. I'll make you die as you scream in pain."
Harvey was already making quite a concession. When he left with Sora, he was already prepared to kill him once he had arrived at his destination. But since Isoroku came knocking, he did not mind giving Sora up since he was not that important anyway."You're so confident, Harvey. So full of vigor. However, you forgot that in this condition, you're not in a place to negotiate," said Isoroku coldly. "Even if someone's going to come up with the conditions, that person will be me."Let's see now… Release that disappointing son of mine, and then leave your woman behind. Then, you will personally maim the limbs of your own men and then yourself. Only then will I allow you to leave on your knees. How does that sound?" It was clear Isoroku thought little of Harvey in the end."I'm not in the business of making life difficult for unimportant people like you. But since the Origin Sword Style has lost so many people, I need to get something back for them as their Predecessor, correct?"Then, H
"I've already heard your name even before you step foot in Grand City. That's because the Six Schools are all connected to the Origin Sword Style. By defeating all Six Schools alone, you have disrespected me," explained Isoroku, as if he was in the mood for a chat."What's more, you even killed my beloved student Sverker and even took down my worthless son? If it isn't because my source is very well trusted, I couldn't even believe it. For you to reach this level of power at this age, it's beyond amazing. Perhaps it's true when they say that the youths should never be underestimated!" Isoroku said with a sigh of admiration.Dozens of elites stepped out from the other military helicopters. They were probably Isoroku's personal students. All of them looked at Harvey with suspicion and shock. All of them knew how powerful Sverker was, that was why they found it even harder to believe that Harvey could defeat Sverker.Even if they put Sverker's defeat on one side, Sora was accompanied b
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
