Harvey York looked at Steven Walker indifferently, “Okay, it’s a promise!”“Harvey, why have you become such a person?”Hazel Malone’s pretty face was filled with disappointment. “I really regret it. I shouldn’t have recommended you!“Your existence is simply a disgrace for me!“I know you have feelings for me and want to show your abilities in front of me!“And let me look up to you!“To fulfill your wishful thinking, craving for something you’re not worthy of!“However, can you not act like this?“Going through all these for dignity’s sake!“You behave like this. What else can you do besides making me hate you?“Moreover, I told you clearly yesterday that our so-called engagement back then was just nonsense!“How can a pheasant be a match to a phoenix?!“You want to become successful by relying on these delusory promises? Do you think it’s realistic? Is it possible?”In Hazel’s eyes, Harvey was just trash who wanted to live off other people!Harvey had just become a liv
All the other employees present were in a daze while looking at the two women who spoke.Hazel Malone was stunned!Steven Walker was also stunned!Was this real?They certainly could not believe it. Harvey York actually managed to get those two ladies to come here with just a phone call!Most importantly, it was really within half an hour. They did not dare to be late at all and even came early…This, this, this…How could this be?What made Hazel feel most unacceptable was that the two of them were talking to Harvey respectfully, whether it was Hailey Smith and Anna Wintour.It was as if Harvey were some great person.Steven’s eyelids twitched. “How is this possible? How is this possible?”A group of pretty female employees also felt a strange hotness on their faces. Although Harvey did not say anything, this scene was certainly a big resounding slap on their faces.“Well, you are here.”Harvey stood up indifferently and casually threw the contracts in front of them. “The
At three o’clock in the afternoon, it was on Linjiang Avenue less than three kilometers away from the Pearl of Mordu.At this moment, a red Porsche Panamera was driving fast on the road.There was a beautiful woman in an oriental dress sitting in the driver’s seat.She was wearing a pair of black sunglasses, making her pretty face look exquisite.There was another woman with a plain looking face in the passenger seat.The woman was holding a firearm in her hand, but she was looking back with a look of fear as if she was afraid that someone would catch up.After watching for a while and confirming that there was no one, the lady in the passenger seat looked at Yvonne Xavier while she was driving and said, “Miss Xavier, why are you coming out at such a big risk?!“You should know that our freedom is being restricted now!“Although we can still eat and drink, and move around in the yard…“But if someone finds out, we’re done!“Also, the family is investigating Lady's affairs, an
Handel then showed a cold expression on his face and replied derisively, “Oh, Melanie Xavier. Do you really think I can’t see?“Do you really think that I can’t see the doubt in your heart and desperately try to cling onto a new master?“We have been in the Smith family for years now. How can we not understand their character?“You should know whether we leave or not; the Lady and Miss Xavier would still be scapegoats for those accusations!“The Lady is too capable, and Miss Xavier is too outstanding! This is why Prince Smith and the others are being so cautious toward them!“And now that the master of the family is dead, Prince Smith and the others are only thinking of ways to split the wealth evenly. Why would they even care about the truth? Why would they care about anything else?“And that’s why it’s right for Miss Xavier to leave! If she doesn’t, she’ll only turn into the Smith family’s goods to be traded off for more profit!“I support Miss Xavier!”Handel did not know wh
“Make the Smith family pay?”Melanie Xavier chuckled while her face showed utter disdain.“You don’t even know if you would survive today, but you’re already talking about making them pay?“Miss, since when did you even start daydreaming?”In Melanie’s eyes, if Yvonne Xavier had a chance to make a comeback and the Lady had an opportunity to take control, she wouldn’t mind following them to the bitter end.But the Smith family’s power was as clear as day.Assassins were waiting to wipe out the direct line of the entire family.Jaden Smith was terribly ill, the Lady was imprisoned, and Terry Smith had taken over the family.Under those circumstances, how could Yvonne even stand a chance?Against troubles that were surrounding her, what could she even do other than run away?That was why the only thing that Melanie could think of was how to cling onto Terry.It’s because that was the only means for her to continue enjoying wealth and glory for the rest of her life.She also ha
Handel had a stern look on his face as he glared coldly at Melanie Xavier.Melanie smiled, then threw her firearm to the ground and raised her hands, signaling to the men that she meant no harm toward them.At the same time, a bearded man with a few enchanting women then walked out of the last Toyota Prado.The man was wearing a leather jacket. He seemed extremely unscrupulous and fierce, just from his demeanor.He was the butler of the Smith family residence, Fletcher Evans!“Butler Evans!”Melanie immediately rushed toward Fletcher as soon as she saw him and then bowed respectfully.“Yvonne Xavier and Handel dared to run away, but I caught them red-handed and stopped them in their tracks!“That’s why I sent you the text message! I promise I’ll cooperate!“Butler Evans, you have to give me credit here!”Melanie got closer to Fletcher while in the middle of her speech, even hugging Fletcher’s left arm and sticking right beside him.Handel was gritting his teeth after seeing
“You’ve crossed the line!”Yvonne Xavier’s expression was as dark as night, and her face showed an awful expression.“I crossed the line?”Fletcher Evans smiled.“Oh, Yvonne. Do you really think that you’re still the high and mighty Miss Xavier?“Let me tell you right now. The Smith family is done for! Their situation’s only going to get worse!“Your very own mother’s behind bars as well!“Do you really think that the Smith family will let you go even if I force myself on you?!“Stop your wishful thinking!“Obediently serve me, and I might say good things about you in front of the prince. Am I wrong?”Fletcher brought a strong aura and confidence with him as if everything he said was the truth.Yvonne frowned, then calmly replied, “So, Terry Smith asked you to deal with me?”“There’s no point talking about this.”A playful look leaked out of Fletcher’s face.“All you need to know is that you’re in a tough spot, and I’m the only one that can save you!”“Right, I forgot to
Fletcher Evans smiled while pushing Melanie Xavier away, then touched his face and looked at Yvonne Xavier.“Yvonne, you dare hit me?“Have you ever thought of the consequences?”Yvonne then coldly replied, “So what if I hit you? You’re just a servant. Even if I beat you to death, no one is going to stand up for you!”“Hahaha! Are you thinking of beating me to death?“I have to admit. You do have a knack for daydreaming, if not anything else.“People like me do like to tame a wild horse!“Because forcing myself onto someone is the best thing in this world!”Fletcher then reached out his hand to pinch Yvonne’s face while in the middle of his speech.“If you move away, I’ll put a bullet in that old man!”At this moment, Fletcher was extremely fierce, as if he were the king of the world, taking control of everything and doing whatever he pleased.Even if well-known masters and princes from Mordu were to show up in front of him, they would seem pale in comparison in front of him
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
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
