“According to your words, Princess Goddard, you’re saying that I can’t bring myself justice after you tried to assassinate Prince York and my family?”Avel’s face was ice cold.If it were only him that day, he might’ve just given in.But the legendary Prince York himself was right behind him. Why would Avel recoil in fear?!No matter how powerful the Four Masters of Hong Kong were, this was South Light. This was Buckwood, not Hong Kong!Darren stepped forward with a smile.“Master Naiswell. The more we debate, the more the truth comes out!”“Everyone here is experienced in this line of work. You should understand that misjudging an item is quite normal!”“The way I see it, I misjudged the item, and so did you!”“According to the rules, you should be taking responsibility.”Darren crossed his arms. With Faye’s support, he was unscrupulous and arrogant.Avel snarled, “You really think I wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you because you’re supported by the Four Masters of Hong Kong
Harvey was calm. “I’m just a small fry, no need to know who I am.”Darren sized up Harvey, then secretly took a picture of Harvey with his phone. Naturally, he was looking for someone to get some information on Harvey.Soon, Darren’s phone rang. He took a few glances at the phone before handing it to Faye.Faye revealed a meaningful smile after looking at the contents. “So, you’re the consultant for the government of Buckwood.”“I heard that the investment and business engagement forum you organized ended up failing. What, are you with Avel now? You’re doing pretty well, making money from the government and the gangsters!”“Right, you’re also the Zimmer family’s live-in son-in-law. So you’re making money there as well!”Faye’s gaze on Harvey was filled with disdain.A woman like her would usually admire wealthy sons and masters.Thus, she wouldn’t bat an eye towards men who climb ranks relying on women and sheer luck.Yet, the live-in son-in-law with a small status that she ha
Darren froze once more at Harvey’s words, then burst out laughing.“What? So your way of beating us with reason was to buy the entire shop?”“Are you venting, or just simply giving us money?”Before, Faye anticipated Harvey’s next move. She couldn’t help but laugh, and then turned to Harvey with a derisive glare. ‘Venting by buying things? Is this a joke?’‘There are so many things in Flynn’s Antiques, but not a single one of them is truly authentic.’‘Even if Harvey could pick out a few of the authentic items with his brilliant eyes, it wouldn’t mean much for the shop anyways.’‘Besides, picking out actual antiques would be free advertisement for the shop.’‘If Harvey picked out fakes, then that’s his problem.’‘But he seems so young. Does he even have skills to appraise antiques?’Faye wouldn’t believe it. So-called antique appraisers needed years of experience. An ordinary person couldn’t distinguish between high and low imitations, let alone authentic and fake antiques.
Nobody had ever seen a person buy antiques like this man.Wouldn’t people normally buy antiques only after slowly studying and appraising them?Normally speaking, antique purchasers were usually extremely careful.If they messed up, the losses would be unimaginable.People who buy antiques like Harvey were either rich tycoons, or complete idiots.Faye watched the scene with a disdainful grin. A smile full of disdain leaked out of Faye’s face when she saw the sight.Harvey had already bought a hundred million dollars worth of items. Safe to say, Flynn’s Antiques earned a hefty gain that day.If they advertised the shop properly, Flynn’s Antiques could even make a name for itself!Harvey wasn’t here to tear down the shop at all! Rather, he was here to give them benefits!Soon, Harvey’s shopping finally came to a halt.At this moment, he had about fifty raw stones with him.“Cut every single one of them open.”With a wave of Harvey’s hand, the master faceters started to work s
Harvey York stood indifferently in the field. However, it terrified and frightened the experts from the world of antiques and treasure appraisal that were present.How could ordinary people do this?Some of the appraisers, who regarded themselves as quite capable, felt humiliated in front of Harvey.Moreover, everyone was extremely excited.Only Faye Goddard and Darren Flynn’s complexions were horrible as if they had screwed themselves.They did not expect that Harvey would be able to do to such an extent!Sweeping away so many treasures in their turf.Although they collected enough money, it was certainly a mere drop in the bucket compared to Harvey’s profit.Harvey slightly raised his hand, gesturing the crowd to be quiet. He then said with a low voice, “Everyone, I’ll tell you one thing. I have selected all those antiques that would show green among the thousands of Flynn’s Antiques.“The rest is either waste or its worth doesn’t match the original cost.“Whether or not to
Avel Naiswell was utterly convinced by Harvey York at this moment.He trotted over while bringing the antiques that Harvey had just selected, leaned forward, and said, “Brother York, what are you planning to do?”Harvey took a porcelain vase in his hand, pointed at the label indifferently, and said, “Porcelain vase of the Qing Dynasty, priced at seventy-six dollars. It’s indeed a good thing, but…”Crack!There was a crisp sound.Harvey immediately smashed the porcelain vase on the ground.Everyone was slightly taken aback upon seeing this scene. What did this mean?Harvey randomly selected a round base from the pieces of porcelain and said lightly, “But this porcelain itself isn’t valuable. What’s valuable is the thing inside it.”Harvey broke the round base into two while speaking.Suddenly, a hollow space appeared in the base. Something jade-like was hidden inside, but it was not exactly jade.“Consultant York, this is…”Everyone was curious.Everyone could see that this
Faye Goddard’s face was distorted, and her expression was horrible at the moment.It was all over for Flynn's Antiques. This also meant that the Four Masters of Hong Kong’s losses would be more than a billion dollars.Faye unconsciously shivered while thinking of this. She then stared at Harvey York bitterly and said, “York, this matter isn’t over. You shall pay for it.”Harvey, who was already about to turn around and leave, paused and said, “Say it again?”“I said, this matter isn’t over. Not only will you pay for it, your wife, your family, would also become the subject of our revenge. I promise that from now on, they will never be at ease, and there will be no peace…”Slap!Harvey had already slapped her before she could even finish her words.Faye, with a bitter face, was sent flying upside down and hit on an antique shelf. Suddenly, many antiques smashed to the ground at that instant.Faye was bewildered after being slapped at that moment, coupled with the red palm print
Darren Flynn quickly took out his phone and searched for a backer from Buckwood in it.Each of those staff looked at Harvey York with disdain.Although this guy did have an eye for antiques and let Flynn’s Antiques suffer a significant loss…However, what was the use of having this ability in the appraising industry?This thing was nothing in front of sheer power.They initially thought this live-in son-in-law would leave after he easily got off the hook. Nobody knew what to do with him.However, until now, he still wanted to pretend.He was genuinely ignorant and absurd, trying to get himself killed.“Just wait. I’m calling someone to come here now!”“Wait until he arrives. All of you will have to kneel on the ground for me!”Darren stared at Harvey with a vicious expression on his face and spoke between his gritted teeth.Faye Goddard was responsible for such a big incident today, but Darren’s responsibility was not trifling either.Unless Harvey could be taken down today
"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
"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."
