“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
Soon after, Bohdi toppled before everyone else followed suit.Xynthia Zimmer was completely shocked! Her brother-in-law was just impressive!Harvey York carried a bottle right in front of Eli Burton, who was already getting pretty sluggish.“For the mighty country of India, let’s have another toast!” said Harvey with a smile.Eli had no chance even to decline such a good excuse.Eli’s body was constantly trembling while his eyes were filled with despair, but he had to grab the bottle Harvey had brought over.Eli was going mad as soon as he chugged the bottle down. It was his first time seeing someone this good at drinking.All of his schemes…They were all turned into jokes at this very moment!Eli’s body was going limp while his stomach was burning. If he kept drinking, he would actually go insane.Harvey did not give him a chance to rest, though. He grabbed another bottle with a warm smile and said, “Come! Come! For the mighty Vaishyas!”“Right… Right…”Eli could not focu
On the next day, in Hearthstone Corporation.Mandy Zimmer had been working overnight before she walked out of her office with a miserable look.Because of Lilian Yates, she could not just stay in the Hatchet Gang’s base camp. One of the rooms in the building was turned into a makeshift room for her to rest for the time being.Mandy took small sips of the porridge that she had made herself.It was not as easy to manage the company at all. Other than all the detailed accounts she had to sort out, the shareholders were scattered when they held their own authority.Even if Mandy could make all the shots for the company because of her seventy percent shares, the shareholders should not be underestimated.Along with the xenophobic behavior of Flutwell’s upper social circle, Mandy had been living a tough life for the past few days.But after thinking that Harvey was the one who got all the shares for her, Mandy took a deep breath before going through the accounts again.If she still c
“If you’re not telling me what I need to know, I won’t call him,” replied Mandy Zimmer with a serious look.“You better leave right now, or I’ll call the cops.”Mandy did not know what kind of grudge the woman before her had against Harvey York…But she feared that Harvey would suffer after seeing the two Demon Monks here.“I’ve been looking for him the entire day…“But I still couldn’t find this goddamn b*stard!“You’re his ex-wife, but we can only keep you here since we can’t find him!Diana Lee glared coldly at Mandy.“You better make the call right now, or it’ll be bad if I get angry!”Obviously, Diana had no idea that Harvey was living in the Hatchet Gang’s base camp.If she did, she would probably stay away from him.In her mind, Harvey would definitely show himself if Mandy was used as bait.“Don’t you understand me?!”Mandy’s face instantly darkened.“This is the Hearthstone Corporation! Our shareholders are all prominent figures in the city!“The company doesn’t
Mandy Zimmer gritted her teeth while enduring the throbbing pain on her face.“I’ll never kneel before you…”Slap!Diana Lee swung the back of her palm across Mandy’s face.Simultaneously, Diana furiously grabbed a handful of Mandy’s hair and slammed her head on the table.Mandy felt a sharp pain before her head spun. She was on the verge of passing out at this moment.She was the head of the ninth branch of the Jean family, but she had never fought anyone in her entire life.She had to suffer to those who did things this way in Flutwell…Bam bam!The women behind Mandy kicked her on the back of her knees, forcing her to be on her knees.Her face was completely swollen and covered in blood. It was truly a sorry sight.Diana crossed her arms and looked down at Mandy with a smirk.“Oh my. Aren’t you a feisty one?“You’re kneeling anyway, aren’t you?”The women were laughing at Mandy’s misery.They were already jealous of Mandy’s beauty. After seeing Mandy getting beat up
Harvey York shifted his gaze toward Xynthia Zimmer.“Do you know who did it?” Harvey asked quietly.“Was it Eli Burton?”Harvey more or less understood the situation.He thought that Joseph Bauer was the one who did it, but he would not do something this stupid after discovering that Harvey was the head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement.That was why Harvey suspected the foolish people he had met the day before.Those people were doing whatever they pleased in someone else’s country. They knew not only when to stop, but they were even acting all high and mighty about it. They were truly lawless people.“It’s Eli and the others!Xynthia felt responsible.“The surveillance cameras in the company building were all destroyed by them, and the workers wouldn’t dare call them out either! Nobody can do anything to them right now!“Even if they were arrested, they still had diplomatic immunity since they’re not from here! The police also can’t do anything to them!”Lilian could not help b
"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
