Chapter 153

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
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

    She could refrain from believing Harvey York’s judgment. But she had absolute trust in Shane Naiswell. It was because her grandfather was an expert master in the appraising field. There were indeed not that many people who enjoyed the same prestigious status as her grandfather in their country. “Sir, if you’re free as of late, please come to the Naiswells to meet me. You’re most welcome here at any time.” At the other end of the phone, Shane smiled faintly before hanging up the phone. After that, Harvey threw the phone to Rosalie Naiswell casually. He then smiled faintly and said, “Miss Naiswell, do you still remember our bet just now?” “I…” Rosalie was speechless. ‘Do I really have to address him as my father?’ Standing beside them, Wyatt Johnson became deeply furious. He then scolded, “Harvey, are you even a gentleman? Miss Naiswell was joking with you. How could you be so serious about it? How could you try to make things difficult for a woman? Is that what you’re capable o

    Mandy Zimmer was slightly anxious too. She then said apologetically, “Miss Naiswell, we’re truly sorry. Harvey just said that casually. Don’t take it to heart. Please don’t mind him.”Wyatt Johnson said dully, “Mandy, although he’s your husband, you can’t always protect him like that. He’s indeed just a coward. You really don’t have to act like this.” Rosalie Naiswell frowned deeply as her facial expression worsened. At first, the incident had ended. But after what the others did, the incident became worse, and she would only become quite humiliated. Thinking of that, her voice became much colder, “Harvey, we can’t joke about the reputation and dignity of the Naiswells. You’d better explain yourself clearly. If not, this won’t end here.” Harvey York admired Rosalie more now. Nowadays, there were not many people who were so honest and straightforward. Thinking of that, Harvey said slowly, “Miss Naiswell, don’t worry. Please listen to my explanation.”“Previously, you said that

    Needless to say, Wyatt, Jake, and Cecilia wanted Harvey to die. Why would they consider helping Harvey right now?Additionally, the others were eager to auction again, because “The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” was so famous that there were many people who wanted it.At that moment, a young man in a suit walked out from behind the stage with a few bodyguards.“Mr. Cloude…” The auctioneer let out a sigh of relief when he saw the young man. This was Jude of the Cloudes, the person in charge of the auction, and he already knew about what had happened just now.Jude’s cold gaze travelled around the room before settling on Harvey. He smiled at him. “Sir, I heard that you helped identify the authenticity of “The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak”. To express our apology, we will pay you an appraisal fee of one hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars. Please do not refuse it.”Harvey frowned slightly. What did Jude mean? Giving him an appraisal fee? Was he shamelessly trying to get out of

    Rosalie who was standing nearby spoke up, “Jude, you are way out of line.”“Rosalie…” Jude frowned. He did not care about Mandy, in fact, the entire Zimmer family was nothing to him. However, things were different when it came to the Naiswells since they were also a top family in the provincial town. Since Rosalie had spoken, it would be bad if he did not give her some face.Jude smiled while thinking about it, and eventually said, “I won’t say too much since Miss Naiswell has spoken, but some people should be a little more self-aware and know their place. It’s as the saying goes “a man’s wealth is his ruin by invoking others’ greed”. This saying has been popular since ancient times, hasn’t it?”Jude gazed at Harvey pointedly after that, then turned around and left. He already knew that “The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” was in Harvey’s hands, but was it not easy for him to get it back?Harvey frowned contemplatively. He knew what Jude was thinking, but he was not worried that Ju

    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
