At the CEO’s office.Yvonne Xavier and Wendy Sorrell were both seated quietly. When they heard the door being pushed open, they stood up at the same time.Standing before them was an old woman. Yvonne and Wendy were both a little nervous as the woman’s aura was quite intimidating. Her stern presence was not like any normal person's, and dominated the entire room.Yvonne who came from an established background was frozen to the spot, while Wendy who was from a normal family did not dare say a word.Thea York glared at Yvonne and Wendy. The CEO's secretaries were quite cute; no wonder her kept man, Wyatt Johnson, did not come back home last night.“Who are you? This is the CEO’s office. How can you just casually walk in?” Yvonne calmed herself down and asked, raising an eyebrow.Thea eyed Yvonne disdainfully. “What right does a lil’ b*tch like you have to ask who I am? Ask your CEO to come out and see me!”When Yvonne heard her words, her brows furrowed. What had happened in the p
“I don’t know what rubbish your man is made of but don’t you worry, I’ve no interest in competing with a dominatrix!” Although Yvonne’s lips were bleeding from the beating, she did not hold back.At that moment, Wendy Sorrell knew she had to step in, or Yvonne might be beaten to death right there and then. She did not dare fight back, and could only rush toward Yvonne and stand in front of her. She said lightly, “Miss Xavier, please don’t say anymore. Let’s wait for the CEO to return. You cannot always bear the burden by yourself, he’s the CEO, after all…”“You’re protecting her and yet you claim that you’re not snatching my man away?” Thea York laughed frostily then turned to look at Wendy. “You kneel down too, you lil’ pig, or else I’ll teach you a lesson too!”Wendy felt conflicted, but when she saw Yvonne in pain, she had no choice but to kneel. If she continued to be stubborn, she would end up like Yvonne.Thea was very pleased to see the two women who had snatched her man aw
“Do you think that you’re in the capital?” Harvey York spoke icily. “Do you think that this place is just like the York family where you can play tricks and bully others?”“Oh? Isn’t it?” Thea York’s eyes were brimming with contempt. “Even if this is not the city, you’re just trash that’s being thrown away by the family. Do you think that you can win against me?”Harvey glanced at her bodyguards and scoffed, “Do you think that this rubbish you brought here can beat me?”Thea mocked, “Harvey, I heard that you’ve become the live-in son-in-law of some Zimmer family. Don’t blame me for not warning you. If you dare make a move, I’ll make the whole Zimmer family pay for your sins!”“Also, since you’re still alive, I would like to say this to your face: York Enterprise belongs to me. This is my present to that dog of mine. If you dare walk in here next time, I’ll make other people break both your legs!”Her dog?Yvonne Xavier and Wendy Sorrell looked at each other. They seemed to unders
“Are you wondering why I have such skills?” Harvey smirked.Thea York was shocked to the core and collapsed on the sofa in a disheveled heap. Her breathing quickened as she asked, “How could this be?”“It’s simple, really. If I didn’t have these skills, I would not only have been driven out three years ago, I would be dead. Do you understand?” Harvey said slowly.Thea’s eyes widened. She had not known why Harvey had managed to stay alive three years ago, but now she knew.The York family would usually kill an abandoned heir, without a doubt. Why would they allow him to be a live-in son-in-law? It was a hidden danger for them.However, this abandoned heir could not be properly dealt with. Could the York family not even take his life?Under these circumstances, would the family not have planted a trap at the very least?“Harvey… I admit that I looked down on you. However, so what if you have some skills? In this age, we don’t look at great fighting skills anymore. No matter how st
Harvey York smiled cruelly as he grabbed Wyatt Johnson’s neck, lifting him up with one hand. He snarled softly, “Do you not understand the situation? Do you think that this old b*tch can really protect you?” Harvey flung him away roughly.Thud!Two of Wyatt’s teeth fell out, and he squealed like a pig who was being slaughtered. However, this was the CEO’s exclusive floor. No one else was around aside from them.Thea York’s heart clenched at the sight, and she quickly tugged on Harvey’s arm. “Let go of him, Harvey. He is my precious sweetheart. If you dare hurt him, I’ll make sure that you’ll end up not having a body to bury!”Harvey kicked her and Thea was sent crashing to the ground. However, Thea refused to give up. She hugged Harvey’s calf and held on. “Let go of him! Let go of him!”Harvey smiled frostily. He loosened his left hand and hit Wyatt’s belly with his fist.Wyatt wailed loudly, his whole body curled up like a fetus. He was in such excruciating pain that sweat cov
Wyatt Johnson was her kept man. He had been ruthlessly tortured by Thea for the past few days until he had turned haggard. He did not even dare to raise his voice in front of her, how could he lay a finger on her now?However, if he did not hit her, Tyson Woods would beat her to a pulp.“Your strength must be to Yvonne Xavier’s satisfaction. If she’s not happy with it, then we do not count that slap. You’ll need to take note of that when you beat her,” Harvey York casually reminded Wyatt.Wyatt trembled as he stood up. He looked at Harvey, then turned to Thea. He could not bear to hit her after he had raised his hand.Thea closed her eyes and yelled, “Wyatt, if you dare let me be hit a second time, I’ll abandon you!”Wyatt gritted his teeth. He had been her kept man for so long. He sucked up to this old woman and allowed her to disgrace him. He had lost his dignity long ago, but a fire had been lit in his heart for the past two days.He gritted his teeth and slapped her. Slap!
After Ella Graves’ thorough checkup, Yvonne Xavier’s injuries were determined to not be that serious. She just needed to rest for ten to fifteen days and she would fully recover.Wendy Sorrell’s wounds were not serious either. Ella estimated that she would only need three days of rest.However, they both would not be able to go to work for sure. They needed to recuperate at home.Yvonne agreed that she and Wendy should rest and allow their wounds to heal. Harvey would need to personally take care of York Enterprise’s matters for the time being. ***One week later, Wendy came back to work. Yvonne still needed a few more days of rest.Wendy somewhat understood Yvonne’s tasks, so under Yvonne’s instructions, she temporarily took over her job.In the CEO’s office, Harvey was looking at some documents when Wendy carefully knocked on the door and entered. She handed him an invitation card and said, “CEO, the Naiswell family from the capital will be organizing an antique fair here in
The members of the Zimmer family looked at each other. They had heard about this and even heard that the Naiswells had officially invited the new CEO of York Enterprise to participate in the Antique Fair.The first-class families in Niumhi had all received invitations to the event, but the Zimmer family still had not received one. It must be because they had gone unnoticed by the Naiswells.The Naiswells—the first-class family in the provincial town. They were a supreme existence and all families had to look up to them if they stayed in Niumhi. It would be a huge honor to be able to receive an invitation to the Antique Fair. Although the Zimmer family had achieved something this year, they still had to work harder if they wanted the Naiswells to take them seriously.Although the Zimmer family thought so, Senior Zimmer did not. He drummed his fingers on the table and said, “Everyone, we finally have some achievements this year. The project of the commercial center as well as the coop
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
