“Since a beauty like you is inviting me in, we might as well have fun together, right?”Harvey York was curiously looking at Lexie York.He wanted to see what this woman was planning to do.He wasted no time and got inside the car before putting on his seat belt.Lexie lightly chuckled before stepping on the pedal.The Ferrari 488 was howling like a mad beast toward the Huancheng Expressway.The coastline could be seen in the rain while the car was speeding up. Harvey tilted his head toward the woman beside him and asked, “Madam York, you didn’t just invite me here to watch the rain falling, right?“I don’t have any interest in doing something like this with an old hag either.“Why don’t you tell me why you came to me at such a specific time? What do you want to talk about?”Lexie also had no intention of beating around the bush.“I got news saying you can cure Selena Judd’s sickness and that you struck a deal with her,” she said.Harvey shrugged.“You’re well-informed, Mad
Lexie York’s eyes twitched slightly after hearing Vince York being referred to as filth.“As you said, we know how the world works, Sir York.“The things you do are naturally justified.“Vince is at fault for going against you in the first place. I’ll go back and teach him a lesson, and I’ll even get him to apologize at your doorstep.“But, in return, I do hope you show your sincerity.“This way, we’ll be able to bury the hatchet. Both of you get what you want, no?“After all, both of you are top talents of the younger generation on par in almost every single thing. If you two really went against each other, only others will benefit from the situation.”Harvey lightly chuckled.“Show my sincerity?“Let’s not go too far back, just yesterday. I’m sure you know what happened back in the Budokan.“Don’t you know that Scarlett Leithold came to assassinate me with her group of people in the middle of the night?“You say you want to bury the hatchet, but you’ve only been trying to
“I believe that someone working for Vince York was the one who did it. I’ll investigate this matter and give you a statement about it.”Harvey York calmly smiled without giving a reply.Lexie York looked at Harvey. The fierce look on her face was gone, completely replaced with care and affection.“Sir York, I know you won’t believe anything I say.“But, I still want to ask something from you. Tell Selena Judd that you’ll retract the deal.“Vince can still be her good son.“If we all turn a blind eye, all of us can survive these harsh times.”Harvey burst out laughing.“Are you a little too confident in your charm, or do you think I’m some sort of pervert who’s never seen a woman?“You think you can convince me just by spraying some perfume and taking me out to look at the scenery?“If you want something, you’d at least need to make some sacrifices for it, right?“You must be delusional if you think you can get whatever you want without any losses!”Lexie showed a pitiful lo
“You…”Harvey York’s words had utterly made Lexie York feel sluggish.She did not expect that the perfect successor of the Yorks, in her eyes, was nothing to Harvey.Lexie tried to calm herself down after taking a deep breath.There was no way back after all that had already happened.She looked at Harvey with a tender look in her eyes.“Sir York, the things you said did happen.“But, you of all people should know that men of great ambition are not concerned by trivial matters.“Vince York only did all this because he had no choice.“If he takes the position as the new head of the family, I’m sure he’ll definitely protect the citizens of the southeast waters in Country H’s stead!“If he didn’t have such ambition and patriotism, why would I, the lady of the Dragon Palace, even help him in the first place?“If you don’t believe Vince or me, you should at least put your trust in the Dragon Palace, right?“This is the pillar of Country H that deals with outside forces. The one
Harvey York squinted at the disappearing convoy before glancing back at Lexie York.“You’ve been putting up a show this whole time just to let Lady Judd see this?” he coldly exclaimed.“What? Now the show’s over, but you still intend to lock me in with you?“You’re not scared of me slapping you to death?”Harvey sized up the woman in front of her.He only wanted to get in the car in the first place to play tricks on Lexie, causing chaos and disarray for Vince.Lexie had the same plan in mind. She wanted the weak alliance between Harvey and Selena Judd to crumble.Safe to say that this woman was quite intriguing after all. It was enough to prove her intelligence in coming up with such tactics.It was a shame that those so-called tactics were nothing more than a farce for Harvey.“Selena’s already gone, and you can’t catch up to her. Besides, it’s raining outside. Are you not afraid of getting a cold, Sir York?”Lexie sat back in her seat. The tender look on her face completely
“Where’s your proof?”Harvey York was indifferent.“You wouldn’t think that this is proof of us having an affair just because I got inside your car, right?“Your fourth brother is the head of the Yorks, after all! Do you think he’s really that naive?”“He’ll believe it for sure.”Lexie York showed a faint smile.“I know he hates me to the core, but he cares about the family’s reputation the most.“If I cry in front of him about an ignorant man trying to taint me and force Selena Judd to take the fall!“Even with just a bit of proof, I’m sure he’ll definitely come for you!“And Sir York, you should believe that it’s not hard at all for me to fabricate some proof!“Either you kneel and beg me so you can become Vince York’s servant…“Or you die!”Harvey raised his hand and looked at his palm before shifting his gaze toward Lexie while showing a playful look on his face.“Lexie, do you know what it means to be too smart for your own good?“I know full well the kind of person
“You really are something, Sir York!”Lexie York’s expression worsened after seeing Harvey York snoop out every piece of equipment she had on her.She frowned while she squinted at Harvey.“No wonder even Vince York suffered losses against you,” exclaimed Lexie coldly.“Your intelligence, skill, and luck are outstanding. No ordinary person can even come close to you.“I keep provoking and annoying you, but you saw through everything without even losing your head.“I have to admit. We did underestimate you.“But this is a good thing. It’s only more fun if I crush a man as strong and capable as you.”Lexie stepped on the pedal and drove the car to Huancheng Expressway’s gateway before unlocking the doors.“Get out of here already!”Harvey opened the door before glancing over at Lexie.“Don’t you worry, Madam York,” he said playfully.“Since we’re already here, I won’t mind playing with you a bit longer.“That said, you’re getting pretty old now. I do hope you have some suppl
Harvey York calmly glanced at the driver before sitting in the back while reviewing the entire situation at hand.Everything that happened that day was planned out by Lexie York. This was quite startling to Harvey.It was good that Harvey also had plans of his own.Judging from how things turned out, Harvey was in a good spot for the time being.The slap, in the end, was not only for Harvey to vent his anger but also to give Selena Judd a clear statement.The slap meant that he and Vince York were completely incompatible.This also showed his resolve to put down Vince once and for all.That way, a woman obsessed with being pure like Selena would continue working with him.As for how this news would get to Selena, Harvey was not interested at all.He believed that Selena would definitely be on high alert as soon as she saw him and Lexie on the expressway.Maybe a few of her bodyguards were already keeping an eye on the place where he slapped Lexie.If Selena did not even have
"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
