“You hear that, kid?! Ms. Zimmer doesn’t need you to take care of her!“Listen to me! As India’s Vaishya, even though I don’t have that high of status, my family still has hundreds and millions of dollars!“But I still think I wouldn’t be able to care for Ms. Zimmer.The young man with a buzz cut showed a playful look on his face after seeing Harvey York’s confident expression.“Since you talk so big, you must have at least that kind of money, right?“I wonder which top family you’re from! Maybe from one of the five hidden families?“Tell us already! Make us scared! We won’t stop you from having your freedom after that!”The crowd was showing a disdainful gaze.Naturally, everyone could tell that the young man was just mocking Harvey.But that was normal anyway. How could a mere kept man have that much money in the first place?If he actually had that much money, then why would he be someone’s kept man in the first place?Why would he be kicked out of the family?“Hundreds
“Of course! I understand!”The young man showed a respectful look as he bowed incessantly.“Please forgive me if I did anything wrong, Sir York!“Don’t drown me in your target income!“I’m so scared!“All of my property is only worth a dozen of your target incomes!”Bohdi was showing a scared look when he respectfully bowed in front of Harvey York, making the crowd laugh.Harvey became a clown in the beautiful women’s eyes.“A man like you must be Flutwell’s best, Sir York!Eli Burton chuckled while the gold chain dangled on his neck.“I came here to build a pharmaceutical base and produce some of the most needed medicine internationally!”“I was planning to ask the bank for a loan of a few hundred million dollars, but I think it’s better if I just ask you for that instead of praying to the gods!“If you’re willing to invest in us, I guarantee you can get back the ROI in a year!“Your investment will even triple in size in just ten years!“How’s that sound?“Are you inte
Eli Burton was impressed after hearing Diana Lee’s reply.As expected from the woman he chose, Diana knew exactly how to go with Eli’s plan.Eli lightly chuckled while holding a glass of champagne.“Come! Come look!“The best young master of Flutwell can just hand out 1.5 billion dollars! He’s not interested in money at all! Let’s see just how much money he has!“Use this opportunity to talk to him! Maybe we can ask for more investments from him in the future!“Truly the best of Flutwell!“You’re invincible!“All hail Sir York!”When Eli asked everyone to come forward, his friends started pretending to bow before Harvey York while flattering him.Anyone could tell that they were just mocking Harvey.‘This idiot won’t take this all seriously, right?’The beautiful women were coldly chuckling at such a display.‘We’ll see how he keeps pretending now!’Ding!Harvey’s phone vibrated.He instinctively pulled out his phone to check for the notifications…But his finger slipp
Everyone realized what was going on then.“I knew it! Look at how he’s dressing! There’s no way he has that much money in the first place!”“You’re showing off with some voice app?! How egotistic can you be?!”“You’re embarrassing Ms. Zimmer!”“Look at yourself! You’ve never even seen this much money!”“Young Master Burton and Young Master Bohdi are just kidding with you! Did you actually think you’re some hot shot here?!”The people shocked by Harvey York came to their senses before relentlessly insulting him.The greater the shock, the harsher the words.‘This poor b*stard almost got us fooled!’Harvey curiously watched as the people were boiling in rage.He had no intention of explaining the situation whatsoever.They were just so insular to him.“Shut up!“You can’t talk about my Brother-In-Law like that!Xynthia Zimmer was getting angry after seeing Harvey being ridiculed incessantly.“He wouldn’t lie to you like that!“1.5 billion dollars really is nothing to him!
“There’s still time for you to leave.“I can decide for Young Master Burton here.“We’ll pretend that nothing ever happened.Bohdi coldly chuckled with murderous intent clearly showing in his eyes.“But if you don’t leave right now, then don’t blame me for what happens next.”Harvey York shrugged.“Oh?“I’m so scared!”“Stop showing off already, Harvey!Bohdi let out a chuckle.“I’m from India, but I also have a lot of connections here!“Flutwell Police Station’s second-in-command, Logan Bowie himself, is my brother!“He can throw you behind bars if he wants to!”Bohdi threatened Harvey with a calm look on his face.“Logan?“The second-in-command?”Harvey burst out laughing.“Fine! Get him here to take me in then!” exclaimed Harvey.“I’ll give you 1.5 billion dollars if you can actually get him to do that!”Bohdi stood frozen. He did not expect to get that reaction from Harvey. He had no idea what to reply at that moment.“Don’t you realize just how powerful Flutwel
“Come on! It’s just one glass!”Bohdi still poured Xynthia Zimmer the drink anyway.Xynthia shook her head.“I’m really allergic.”“Don’t be such a downer, Xynthia! Please drink some!”“Yeah! We’re all guests here! We should be going along with the host! You shouldn’t be this impolite!”“Young Master Burton and Young Master Bohdi are prominent figures of the Bharata Business Council! How are you supposed to make a career out of yourself if you’re being this disrespectful?”“You’ll gain so much just by having the drink! There’s no way that you don’t understand, do you?”Everyone spoke up in unison to pressure Xynthia into drinking.Xynthia just kept quiet with a calm look on her face.Eli Burton thought about the situation before he opened his mouth.“You’re not mad at us going at your brother-in-law now, are you?” asked Eli profoundly.“I am!” replied Xynthia coldly.Eli chuckled before he showed a cold gaze. He never expected that this woman was so much more different tha
“Here’s to our friendship, Sir York!”Eli Burton raised his glass.“Right!”Harvey York clinked his glass with Eli’s before they chugged their drinks down.Soon after, everyone had three glasses of drinks.After Eli gave everyone a look, a young man stepped forward with a warm smile.“Here’s a toast to meeting you, Sir York!”“Enough, Harvey! Let’s get out of here!”Xynthia Zimmer kept tugging on Harvey’s clothes after seeing those people trying to get Harvey drunk.Harvey completely ignored Xynthia and merely smiled at the young man. They clinked glasses before Harvey downed his drink again.“You’re such a generous man, Sir York! Let’s get along…”“I strive to have an outlook like yours, Sir York!”“It’s so good to meet you, Sir York!”Around eight young masters from India went up to Harvey for a toast.They were being so hospitable, as if Harvey was their savior.Harvey smiled while constantly clinking his glass with the others. He had no intention of stopping any time
The Dragon Set was all empty after another round.Eli Burton coldly chuckled when he saw the sight.‘This guy’s such an idiot. He must be an amateur.‘We’re obviously trying to wear him down. Can’t he see that?’Everyone knew that Harvey York was about to topple sooner or later when they saw him walk while swaying around.Bohdi was showing a playful smile when he saw the sight as well.‘As expected from Young Master Burton.‘He learned so much to win with strategy alone.’Bohdi clapped his hands before the waiter brought over another Dragon Set.He brought over two bottles of Ace of Spades and handed one to Harvey.“Let’s drink a bottle each, Sir York! You’re a man, aren’t you?”Xynthia Zimmer was terrified after seeing the sight.“You can’t drink anymore, Brother-In-Law!”“It’s okay! I’m fine!“I can hold my liquor!Harvey seemed like he was in a daze while his body kept swaying. He grabbed the bottle with a smile on his face and replied, “Let’s do it!”Bohdi smiled ba
"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
