“Do you really think that I’ll help Mandy sincerely?” Zack Zimmer said smugly. “Do you mean to say that it’s a trap?” Sean Zimmer replied. Zack did not have to hide anything from his own father. He then smiled and said, “After all, you were the one who reminded me about it. Let me tell you the truth. I’m the one who commanded those people to find faults with the Zimmers and create a mess.” Sean frowned and stared at Zack. He then said, “So you made use of the outsiders to find faults with Mandy. I can understand that. But shouldn’t you step forward and save the day now? Why did you still want to help Mandy?” “Dad, what’s the use of saving the day? Mandy still holds the commercial centre project in her hands. How is that beneficial to us? What I want to do is I want to ruin that woman entirely. Only then, I’ll not face any threat when I get to be in power in the future!” Zack appeared smug. He could not tell the others about that incident, so he had no way to brag about himse
That afternoon, Harvey York drove the Porsche and went to pick up Mandy Zimmer after work just like what he had promised. At first, he did not want to keep such a high profile. But certainly they could not ride on a motorcycle to go to an occasion such as a negotiation. After he fetched Mandy, Harvey drove toward the agritainment which was located in the suburbs, following the guide of the GPS system. Mandy was slightly worried. In that instant, her exquisite face seemed slightly pale. She then said, “Harvey, I’ve thought about it thoroughly today. I feel that it’s kinda strange. Do you think that it’s a trap set up by Zack? Will anything happen to us later?” Harvey smiled slightly and said softly, “Don’t worry. As long as I’m there, no one can hurt you. Unless, they get to kill me first.” As he was saying those things, his eyes seemed rather murderous. He was fine no matter how the others treated him. But if anyone has their eyes on Mandy, he would definitely not let them go t
“He’s my husband, Harvey.” Mandy Zimmer said calmly. After she said that, almost everyone burst into laughter, including Harvey York. It was an undeniable fact that Harvey was indeed quite infamous as a live-in son-in-law who was nothing but a worthless trash. His infamy was known to everyone in the entire Niumhi. Covey Chad sneered. “You do seem rather ugly just like a dog. Besides, you look like a kept man too. Why did you take things too hard and went to be a live-in son-in-law? How could you humiliate us men in such a way? B*stard, could it be that you’re a eunuch?” Covey said with an underlying meaning. “Brother Chad, this guy is very disgusting. I want to beat him up too!” “Allow me. I’m afraid that you’ll be too strong and kill him with just a punch. I’m much gentler. Let me!” “To hell with your gentleness! He’s not a woman. Why should you be gentle toward him? It’s better to let me handle this kind of sissy.” Seeing that his subordinates had gotten into an uproar,
Twenty-five million dollars!Mandy’s expression changed slightly. Although the Zimmer family’s assets were more than a few million dollars, if they had that much working capital, they would not need York Enterprise’s investment so desperately. Moreover, York Enterprise only paid 7.6 million in the first phase. Covey requested for twenty-five million dollars under such circumstances, which was really picking their pockets. He did not even want to negotiate properly.“If the Zimmer family had that much money to give you, we wouldn’t have to find external investments. Mr. Chad, what do you want? Just be direct. We have never offended you, so why are you deliberately targeting us?” Mandy forced herself to speak calmly.“So what? I come after you because I take you seriously, understand? Why do I have to give you a reason or an excuse? Who the hell is the Zimmer family? You even wanted me to explain.” Covey frowned and looked at Mandy unhappily.Mandy took a deep breath and forced herse
Harvey smiled coldly, then picked up the beer bottle on the table and smashed it against the gangster’s head.The gangster was stunned and collapsed to the ground, unable to stand. “This guy...”“Oh shit! It seems that this b*stard is a ruthless person!”“How is it possible? Isn’t he trash?”“There’s no need to be afraid of him! He probably learned that from television. He’s just lucky…”All Covey’s subordinates were cursing, but none of them dared to step forward. In their opinion, this live-in son-in-law was useless, and would not dare to fight them. This was very different from what they had heard.Mandy was also stunned. Although Harvey had beaten Don in the Zimmer family before, she had not paid much attention to it at that time. After all, Don had only been working out for several years. However, these gangsters were different. They had all been mingling in the triad society and all were proficient in fighting skills. She never thought that Harvey could easily knock out o
“My friend sent it to me,” Harvey explained vaguely, then continued, “Anyway, we can find out who is behind all this, then we can leave safely. Other things are inconsequential, okay?”Mandy gritted her teeth but said nothing. Although the video confused her, she just wanted to leave because she was scared of this place.Covey’s expression changed, and he said after a while, “I can make a deal with you, but I need to confirm the truth of the matter before letting you go.”Harvey shook his head and said, “No, I’m staying, but you have to let my wife go first. I’ll tell you after she gets home safely.”Covey looked displeased and stared at Harvey without speaking.Harvey said indifferently, “Mr. Chad, I’m staying here. Are you still worried that I won’t tell you? Besides, you can wait until you have confirmed the truth before telling me who is behind the scenes. Let my wife go first so I can be at ease, otherwise, I can’t believe you.”Covey was silent, then barked out a laugh sudd
Tyson walked up to Harvey respectfully, bowed, and said, “Sir, what should I do with this guy?”Covey laughed at the scene. “Tyson, are you crazy? Are you calling him, a live-in son-in-law, Sir? We both have the same status in Niumhi, don’t you feel embarrassed? Do you know that this guy is just a useless person?”Tyson just looked up slightly without putting his hands down, then sneered, “Covey, don’t you understand? It seems you’re quite foolish.”Covey narrowed his eyes. Although Tyson came here with a lot of men, would he dare to do something? If he did, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?“Tyson Woods, you don’t frighten me. I have someone backing me, and it’s not like you don’t know about it! If something happens to me today, you will also have a bad ending. Do you dare interfere in my affairs?” Covey snarled.Tyson laughed and did not explain. There was a reason why he did not dare to touch Covey in the past. After all, Covey had a powerful backer, and if he
“This guy does stand-up comedy, right? He is so funny!”“I can easily knock him down with just a single kick. How dare he act tough in front of me?!”Harvey was speechless.Tyson slowly raised his head, his eyes cold. He asked seriously, “Sir, do you need me…”Harvey shook his head and said lightly, “He dared to hit on my wife, so I’ll do it myself. Otherwise, what kind of man would I be?”Harvey walked towards Covey after he finished speaking.Covey unconsciously stepped back and then cursed angrily. “What are you trying to do?”A few of his subordinates held steel pipes and stood in front of Covey, ready to fight.Harvey just kept walking. Covey’s subordinates shouted, and moved to attack him. Harvey easily dodged the steel pipes, and he rolled the ashtray in his hand casually.Smash! Smash! Smash!They were all either holding their heads or their hands went limp. These people looked tall, but no one could stop Harvey right now, even if it was only for a second.Covey was
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
