“You’re here already, Ava?”A man in a white shirt chuckled as he walked over and shook Ava’s hand.He was tall and handsome, with a face as sharp as a knife. His whole body was covered in luxurious items; his wrist had a watch with the title of a billionaire’s entry ticket, the Richard Mille. Because of this, his aura of a master in a wealthy family was incredibly prominent. “I’m terribly sorry, Master Baker. I bumped into a beggar on my way here and wasted quite a bit of time.”Ava chuckled shyly, but she was beaming. She wanted to see a big fight commence then and there.“Please forgive me for my rudeness!”“It is the greatest honor for everyone to grace me with your presence!”Hugh flashed her a warm smile, and then turned to Xynthia.“This must be the junior that you told me about, Xynthia Zimmer. The newbie in the student council, right?”“Yes, that’s her. Not only is she new in the student council, she’s also this year’s beauty queen in the University of South Light!”
My god!When Hugh saw Harvey kiss Xynthia, he exploded in anger. A killing intent seeped out of his eyes.Who was Hugh Baker?He was none other than the second master of the Bakers from San Francisco!The Baker family was the top family in San Francisco. They had great influence even if they were in Mordu!His brother, Sam Baker, was on par with the likes of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, the Four Masters of Hong Kong, and the Six Princes of Mordu!Hugh would always get the women he wanted.Even if she happened to be a first-class celebrity or an internet-famous figure, he would have them in the palm of his hands quite easily.Never did he imagine that he would suffer this great of a loss because of Xynthia.The most infuriating thing to him was that Harvey ignored his warnings and humiliated him right there and then!A mere ant dared to challenge him, Hugh!How reckless!How oblivious!Hugh was furious. There would be dire consequences for this.Ava and the other soc
Everyone could tell that the bald man was mocking Harvey.How could a live-in son-in-law possess three hundred million dollars?If he had that much money, he would’ve already been accepted as an honored guest in the upper social circles.The problem was, Harvey looked nothing like someone from that circle!“Three hundred million?”Harvey ;aihjed.“I’m not interested in money, and I don’t know how much I actually have in my bank account.”“But I should have at least fifteen billion dollars.”Several social butterflies started to roll their eyes at Harvey’s words. They all giggled mockingly at him.‘Fifteen billion?’‘You can’t even pull out fifteen dollars!’‘If you can show off this much, why don’t you go on a talk show?!’‘People like him are usually more in demand the more they show off!’Even Xynthia froze at Harvey’s remark. She then immediately understood.She knew that her brother-in-law was capable, but fifteen billion dollars was no small amount.She always assum
Nobody expected that Harvey would still hold onto Xynthia’s hand, then stood up straight and replied to Hugh with a playful tone, “Seven hundred and fifty million dollars investment making three hundred million back per year. That’s a pretty good profit.”“How about this? Send over a project proposal and I’ll let my team evaluate it. If the plan’s doable, I’ll think about investing.”“Of course, we’ll have to sign an agreement.”Hugh was obviously trying to make fun of Harvey, so Harvey wouldn’t mind making fun of Hugh either.Besides, Harvey wouldn’t mind buying a share for Xynthia if the amusement park project turned out to be profitable.“Project proposal?”“Investing seven hundred and fifty million dollars?”“Agreement?”The crowd couldn’t hold in their laughter anymore. Their stomachs were close to bursting as they laughed aloud.The gathering tonight was much too interesting!Not only were there enchanting women like Xynthia, but clowns like Harvey were present as well!
Hugh and Tristan were baffled just like the rest, but once Ava spoke, they both showed expressions as though they already knew the truth.“I get it now. You looked for a friend to stage this beforehand, didn’t you?”“I have to admit, that was a really good trick!”“A shame you’re wearing stall-bought goods. You don’t look like a billionaire master at all!”“Just say that you’re Prince York if you’ve got the guts! In a place like South Light, spouting garbage like this will get you killed!”“Yeah! Take a look at yourself! You’re still going to pretend to be a master from a wealthy family and a billionaire?”“Do you know how many zeroes are in a billion?”“Master Baker and Master Tristan treated you like an idiot! Do you really think that you’re some hot shot?!”Hugh’s followers jumped up in anger, pointing at Harvey as they ridiculed him relentlessly.They were so close to being tricked by this poor fool!Harvey looked at the agitated crowd with great interest.“I won’t allo
“Great!”“You’ve got guts!”Tristan became agitated.When he used the Quinlan family’s name before, even princes and masters would need to pay him some respect.This was his first time meeting a hothead like Harvey.Tristan barked angrily, “Harvey York! Since you want to die so badly, then I’ll fulfill your wishes!”“I’ll make you regret coming to this world!”As Harvey was so disrespectful, Tristan wouldn’t mind using his connections in Buckwood to end Harvey once and for all.The few social butterflies several distances away watched Harvey with a disdainful smirk.In their eyes, a show-off like Harvey who only knew how to bluff up a storm did not even have the right to polish shoes for the masters of wealthy families such as Hugh and Tristan.‘Learning how to show-off now?’‘What is he thinking?!’‘Hugh doesn’t need to deal with Harvey himself!’‘If Tristan wanted Harvey dead, there’d be nothing left of him!’The social butterflies believed that a big show was about to
Harvey said calmly, “Since Master Baker is being so courteous, I shall have a drink as well!”“But you know, Xynthia’s allergic to alcohol. Let’s not make it hard for her.”“How about this? I’ll drink in her stead.”“I’m her brother-in-law and boyfriend, after all. It should be natural for me to drink for her!”As Harvey spoke, he raised a glass of wine and stood up.Hugh and Tristan exchanged glances, and smiled.Tristan walked up to Harvey and said, “Master York, you’re so easy-going! Looks like we’ve misjudged you before!”“Come, come, come. Let’s have a toast to show my apology. Cheers!”Tristan immediately poured Harvey another glass of wine after he finished speaking.Xynthia’s expression changed frantically. She subtly pinched Harvey’s leg to signal him not to join in.Xynthia was not stupid. She knew that Hugh and the others harbored ill-intent towards Harvey.However, Harvey didn’t react to her pinching and instead burst out laughing.“You’re a smart man, Master Tr
The more Harvey drank, the more apparent the red coloring his face. Hugh watched this sight with a cold chuckle.‘What an idiot! He’s still being so jolly even after being forced to shove this much wine down his throat.’Based on Hugh’s experience in drinking, Harvey would fall after a few more drinks.If Harvey didn’t lose half of his lifespan because of drinking too much, he would at least need to get his stomach scrubbed cleaned.Meanwhile, Tristan stared at Hugh in admiration. As expected from Master Baker, making such an effortless victory!He was right to pull this trick on an idiot like Harvey.Tristan grabbed another glass of wine and immediately went forward.Soon after, the bottles of wine were soon emptied.Xynthia dragged Harvey and exclaimed, “Brother-In-Law, no more drinking! Let’s go home, alright?”“You women don’t understand anything! Us men drinking is none of your business!”Harvey’s body was swaying, his eyes hazy. He looked as if he was about to fall
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
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
