Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 150
Mandy Zimmer’s facial expression appeared slightly disgusted. At first, Jake could get so much money for her sake, and she was quite touched by that. But now she felt quite upset and annoyed inside since Jake Surrey always mocked Harvey York. Although Harvey was poor, and he was a live-in son-in-law no less, he had been doing all the house chores during those three years. He devoted himself to the hardships wholeheartedly. Although Mandy could not accept him at first, she now started to recognize the good in him. Besides, she would feel quite humiliated if her husband was being condemned like that in public no matter how bad her husband was. At that moment, Mandy frowned slightly and said, “Mr. Surrey, I hope that you can take back what you just said and apologize to Harvey.” “Do you want me to apologize to him?” Jake burst into laughter. “Actually, I just do it for your own good. Mandy, this guy is not an ambitious man, but he’s so arrogant in public. He may get into trouble
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 151
Mandy Zimmer did not deny that, and she only nodded slightly. Harvey York stretched his hand out to put it on her small hand. He then smiled and said, “Then as your husband, I’ll present that to you as a gift!” Mandy was stunned for a short while, because she did not know how to respond to that. However, Rosalie Naiswell glanced at Harvey, and she could not help but sigh. ‘It’s fine if he’s not capable. But he’s so bad at pretending! That thing now belongs to the Yorks. How could anyone else retrieve that?’‘You’re just a live-in son-in-law. Do you even have the right?’ ***“Subsequently, we’ll have the sixth lot for auction. Regarding this lot, even our appraisers could not identify its authenticity. But we heard that the origin of this item was exceptional. Ladies and gentlemen, you’re welcome to come forward to assess it. Then, you can decide whether you want to bid for this lot…” At that moment, the female auctioneer’s eyes brightened. She noticed that the atmosphere w

“Certainly, this painting is not much different from the authentic one. I feel that it’s some kind of highly exceptional replica which was done by someone in the later generations. Besides, it’s quite possible that it’s produced in our time. Moreover, it might even be some kind of product which is sold online. It might not even be worth fifteen dollars…” Wyatt Johnson said word by word. At the same time, he looked at the auctioneer and said, “Young lady, I’m not trying to ruin the credibility of the auction house here. I’m merely speaking the truth. I hope you don’t mind it.” That auctioneer smiled and said, “Our appraisers don’t dare to confirm its authenticity too. It turns out that the authentic painting had been divided into two long ago. Previously, I thought that it was just a well replicated painting, so the appraisers did not dare to affirm its authenticity. It turns out that we don’t need to assess its quality, and we can directly affirm that it’s not the authentic one.”
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 153
Harvey York did not talk nonsense. He only tried to fish for the money in his pocket. After a long while only he found the fifteen dollars. He then gave the money to the auctioneer, seemingly hard to part with the money. He could not help that. After all, he did indeed have only fifteen dollars cash with him at the moment. A roar of laughter was heard. “It’s indeed hilarious! There’s really someone who bought “The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak” with only fifteen dollars!” “You hid the money in such a secure manner. Are you afraid that you’ll lose the money?” “No wonder you’re afraid that you’ll lose the money. It seems like you only have fifteen dollars with you now, are you not?” “Harvey, you really need to take good care of this painting. We’ll go and pay you a visit when we’re free just to assess it. After all, it’s a legendary renowned world painting which is worth fifteen dollars!” The person then laughed out loud. Both Jake Surrey and Wyatt Johnson burst into laugh

As Jake Surrey was saying that, it appeared like his cunning plot was somehow successful. As long as Harvey York was being humiliated, he would definitely take the chance. Harvey smiled and said slowly, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure you know that Albert Bierstadt was one of the famous landscape painters best known for his lavish, sweeping landscapes of the mountains. The watercolor paintings he did were always exceptional, simple but profound. Besides, his style was based on the carefully detailed painting with romantic and glowing lighting. That was the legendary luminous technique. It made his paintings magnificent, elegant and boundless… Please do take a look here. Isn’t this painting exactly like how I described it?The others heard how reasonable and logical Harvey sounded. At that moment, they took a few glances of the painting subconsciously. They did realize that the painting was exactly like how Harvey described it. Wyatt Johnson was the only one who laughed coldly. ‘

“Plum Authenticity Twist” was a unique skill of a renowned appraising master in the 1900s. It was rumored that as long as the master took some actions upon himself, the master could literally identify the authenticity of any antiques and famous paintings. Nowadays, there were only a few people who knew of that technique. The reason Rosalie Naiwell knew that was because of the fact that her grandfather from her family knew of that technique too. However, Senior Naiswell had promised the person who taught him that technique something. He promised not to pass that technique to anybody else. Hence, he was the only one who mastered that in the Naiswells. Now the “Plum Authenticity Twist” was being wielded by a live-in son-in-law. Rosalie felt that it was too preposterous, and it felt like a dream. “What? Plum Authenticity Twist?” A lot of people present heard what Rosalie said. They were slightly stupefied. Did it mean that the live-in son-in-law was not messing around, but he ha

At that moment, Wyatt Johnson’s facial expression changed. He took a few steps forward and said coldly, “I still think that this painting is fake. At most, it’s just a replica which resembles the original painting tremendously. Miss Naiswell, isn’t your grandpa an expert master in the field of appraising? May we have the honor to ask for help from him, to take a look at it?” Hearing that, Rosalie Naiswell trembled. She had a much deeper admiration toward Wyatt now. ‘That’s true. At a time like this, even he could not confirm the authenticity of “The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak”. Maybe the only way is to ask for help from my own grandpa, so that we can identify its authenticity. Besides, Wyatt is able to act so calm under such a circumstance. It’s enough to prove that he’s indeed an exceptional man!’ At that moment, Rosalie took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll ask my grandpa to take a look at this painting and to identify its authenticity!” Ha

“Live-in son-in-law! Let go of Miss Naiswell’s phone this instant!” “How could you argue with Master Naiswell given your capability? Are you insane?” “We were stupid just now. How could we believe you?” At that moment, everyone present condemned Harvey York, scolding him ceaselessly. But in that instant, Shane Naiswell drew in a cold breath all of a sudden at the other end of the video call. He then said in confusion, “Is it the luminous technique? That was Albert Bierstadt’s special painting skill. How could there be such a technique on a fake painting? During all these years after so many eras, there is indeed no one who’s able to make such a replica in such an exceptional manner. It’s impossible. How could it be possible…” At that point in time, Shane was filled with deep disbelief. “Sir, after hearing what you said just now, do you think that this painting is authentic? Then could you explain why there are two remaining paintings which are currently displayed in the mus

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
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 7172
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
