“Then let’s hope that you have a really big appetite.”Harvey York had an indifferent expression.“This watch is fake, an imitation of the lowest level, extremely stupid that it is laughable. Anyone with the least amount of common sense could’ve seen past this. An appraisal isn’t even required.”“You are so hilariously ignorant!”Luis Zarate could not help but point right at Harvey’s nose.‘This con man has crossed the line! How dare he even spout these nonsense?’Rosalie Naiswell looked at Harvey with a hint of disappointment. ‘Losing against a professional like Luis isn’t shameful, but Harvey’s attitude makes him look really bad.’Rosalie seemed a little suspicious. Why did Harvey give off a completely different vibe compared to before? Has she misjudged him?Charles Zarate casually glanced at Harvey and smiled.“It’s good to be competitive when you’re young. But sometimes, you’d have to admit when you have lost. There is no point in being a sore loser.”Naturally, Charle
“This…”Charles Zarate froze in place. Even he thought that the watch was real. He did not know that a fake watch could be counterfeited to this extent. At that moment, his face turned as sour as a lemon.Charles and Luis Zarate would not admit it. They were awfully conceited and did not even consider identifying the antique on the simplest step. If they did, they might not have misjudged about the antique.“I wasn’t even appraising the antique myself. I would be done distinguishing the authenticity in under a minute if things like these were in my hands!”Luis was grinding his teeth and he was not convinced. He did not want to admit that he had lost.In his eyes, this so-called loss was because of Shane Naiswell’s preset rules. If it weren’t for that, how could he have mistaken this fake watch for a real one?‘This wretched-looking tramp, Harvey York, only won because he was lucky. Even Shane was standing by his side, making me look bad.’“One more round! There’s no way I’ll lo
“Why do I have to be successful at appraising treasures?”Harvey York shrugged. “Me, afraid of wronging him? Is he even worthy to be afraid of?” Harvey said naturally. Appraising treasures to him was really nothing more than a hobby. He did not depend on this to make a living, why would he be afraid of offending the said industry’s authorities?Shane Naiswell’s looks congealed. He tried doing a background check on Harvey after he had rejected Shane’s offer before, but had found nothing special about him.There could only be two possibilities.One, Harvey York was indeed just an ordinary person.Two, Harvey York’s history was so extraordinary that even the Naiswell family did not have the permission to look into his past. That was why he had found nothing.Shane did not think that a person like Harvey was just an ordinary person, so it could only be the other explanation.“A York, the York family in South Light? The question is, nobody has heard of such a figure like this in t
Quinn Zimmer covered her mouth while she smiled.“What’s the rush? It’ll be fine waiting for a day or two for a plaything that’ll kneel everytime he sees you.”“True that.”Zack Zimmer nodded while making a complacent face.“The night is long, there will be plenty of opportunities. If he dares to take back his promise, I’ll get people to break his legs!”“Don’t forget why we’re here tonight.”Quinn was agitated as she set her sights on a table with nobody there.“Wasn’t the new CEO of York Enterprise supposed to be here? Why is that table still empty? That’s my future husband. What would I do if he isn’t coming?”Zack smiled and said, “If I was him, I’d be late too. He is representing all of York family in South Light after all, his status is even higher than that of the Naiswells. The fact that he was willing to come is already giving face to the Naiswells. Even if he didn’t attend in the end, what could the Naiswells do about it?”Quinn thought about it and came to the same
Senior Zimmer breathed in heavily, his expressions were frozen solid.What kind of qualification did Harvey York have to walk beside Master Naiswell? He must figure this out. But under those circumstances, this did not matter at all.More importantly, this had actually happened.“What’s going on? Harvey York, this worthless sack of trash. What right does he have?”Quinn Zimmer was resentful.Despite her not having to kneel straight away when she sees Harvey, she still could not accept that the worthless piece of trash in her eyes was standing beside Master Naiswell like an heir of a king!Mandy Zimmer was astonished, though she wasn’t as surprised as everyone else. Especially recently, that this worthless trash of a husband had made her feel that he was full of mystery.But Mandy never thought that her husband could stand this tall, knowing a big-shot like Shane Naiswell.“Maybe it was because of ‘The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak’? Is that why Master Naiswell started to look
“That’s right. He’s even comparable to a dog in our family, but the people are praising him right now!”“Do we expose him for who he is right now? He’s nothing but a live-in son-in-law. Why is he sitting there feeling all high and mighty?”“Zack Zimmer! What do you say?!”“...”The whole family set their eyes on Zack. He was the vice CEO of the Zimmer family, everyone had to consult for his opinion.Zack’s face had suddenly turned gray, he did not know what to say at that moment.The others wanted him to ‘hold the stage’, but all that Zack wanted to do was to dig a hole and hide in it so that Harvey York wouldn’t see him.Or the worthless piece of trash, Harvey could pretend like nothing ever happened. If not, is he about to make Zack kneel in front of him?He wouldn’t even need a day to be the laughing stock in all of Niumhi!Zack would not dare to speak, while Mandy Zimmer hung her head down, forcing not to smile.People had held this live-in son-in-law as a man with talent
“It didn’t matter how he met Master Naiswell, a worthless trash is still a worthless trash.”“I’ll admit to his excellence if he can help the Zimmer family in organizing an event that’ll make us a first class family!”Senior Zimmer breathed in heavily with a cold expression.Mandy Zimmer looked at Senior Zimmer, her heart had felt an unspeakable feeling.On the contrary, Senior Zimmer would never admit the truth that he had always despised Harvey York.Meanwhile, Harvey made acquaintances with the Naiswell family just for the benefits.That could only be described as utterly shameless.Even then, in Mandy’s eyes, Harvey did not even care about the Zimmer family’s opinions on him.Why would he care about what other people said about him when he could talk freely in front of Shane Naiswell?No matter how Shane had looked up to him, the fact that he was sitting there meant that he was successful.Even if it was for his treasure appraising trick, to be noticed and looked up by th
After hearing that, not just Zack Zimmer, the rest of the Zimmer family’s eyes twitched.If they were kicked out of the hall, the Zimmer family would not even have a chance to make a living in Niumhi. To the Zimmer family, this would be a fatal blow to them.At that moment, everyone from the Zimmer family that were present were staring at Zack, perplexed. If he kept dismissing Rosalie Naiswell, the Zimmer family would be finished.“Miss Naiswell, it really is just a joke. If you don’t believe me, you can get the worthless piece of trash here and ask him yourself.” Zack said while he frowned.Even then, he did not have a sliver of respect for Harvey York. He did not stop calling him a worthless piece of trash.Rosalie was only venting for Harvey, but after hearing this man call the man that she admired a worthless piece of trash had made her seething with anger.She glared coldly at Zack.“Is there even a need to? It’s fine if you don’t kneel, but I’ll remember this. Scram right
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
"Mr. Harvey, I know how powerful you are and how invincible you can be. I also have a lot of respect toward you and wouldn't dare show you any insolence," explained Kenta with a harmonious smile. "However, I need to negotiate with you as it's part of my duties. I hope you can calm down so we can talk."First of all, Ms. Mandy is alright. While it looks like you have to come and save her, you need to trust me when I said if it's not for our effort, the men from Origin Sword Style wouldn't have waited until today. With their powers, if we didn't try and stop them with everything we can, Ms. Mandy would be a corpse now. You have to give credit where credit is due, don't you think? I believe someone of your caliber won't deny it, right?"Secondly, I can swear by the name of the Ruling Royal Family that everything that happened today had nothing to do with us. Since we have decided to make a trade with you, we won't stab you in the back. Our conscience is clear when it's regarding this."
There were two men in extravagant yet classical outfits in the helicopter. Then, one of the men who were a little paler got out of the helicopter. The other man simply showed his face in the shadows of the helicopter's cabin.The man with the pale face gave Harvey a smile and bowed to him from a distance. His etiquette was perfect, and he was remarkably well-mannered.Then, he gave Harvey a gentle smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Harvey. Your reputation precedes you. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the persons in charge of the Sky Plane Admin Board. I'm Fujihara Kenta, a member of the Island Nation's ruling royal family. I'm also Daichi's younger brother. My brother has just given me a call saying that he's waiting for you at Grand City's Paradise Island Restaurant. He hoped that you could deliver the Chapter of Ascension as promised."Harvey's expression turned cold. After signaling Clarion to hold their positions and to protect Mandy, then he walked over and narrowed his eyes.
Mandy looked a little shaken in the smoke, but after she had regained her composure, there was a hint of calmness in her eyes. But the moment she saw Harvey, there was no hiding her joy.The two of them looked at each other. It seemed like it had been a very long time since they last met each other, especially after such a struggle.After hesitating a little, Mandy said breathlessly, "Harvey, you…"And then, she could not continue after that. From being husband and wife, and arriving at this point in time. All she could say was that this was fate. Mandy did not even know how to face Harvey anymore. She was worried that it was all a dream, a dream that she had while she was dying. And once she awakened, she would once again be pulled back into a reality of despair.Once she was sure that it was not a dream, she suddenly cried. "Harvey, it really is you…""I'm sorry. I was a little late. I should have come sooner," said Harvey as he walked over and held Mandy in his arms. He was fee
After Sora had said his piece to Harvey, he immediately roared, "Scram! All of you, move aside! That way, I can consider letting you all live! Otherwise, none of you can leave Sky Plane alive!"Slap!Harvey was not letting Sora have his way. Instead, he slapped Sora's face to the point where he fell to the ground. "Do you think you have the right to order me around?"Sora crawled back up and angrily yelled, "You dare to touch me, you fool?!"Slap!Harvey gave another slap. "So what if I touch you? You think I can't? Come now. Tell me who's the one behind all this?"Sora coldly replied, "There's no one else except me!"Slap!Harvey delivered another slap. "You? It's not that I'm trying to underestimate you, but someone with your brain can't think of such a scheme. Not only did someone leak out information to me, having Sverker to wait for me, even you are here to humiliate my woman. And you tell me there's no one else pulling the strings?"Harvey's expression turned cold. "I'm
All the Origin Sword Style elites only had horror-streaked faces when they saw Sora standing face to face with Harvey. They did not dare to make any move at all. There was no question about it. Harvey's decisiveness and calmness had already filled their hearts with terror to the point that Harvey's gaze were enough to make the elites shudder and fall on their knees.When faced with someone so powerful like Magnus, they had already lost the faith to make any attacks.Harvey looked at Sora, whose face was pale. With a smile, he said, "Do you want my woman to undress?"Sora's eyes twitched as he instinctively wanted to retreat. But in the end, he managed to compose himself. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Impossible! How can you be alive? Sverker went to stop you together with 500 Origin Sword Style elites! It was enough to kill multiple True Warriors! How is it possible that you're appearing before me unharmed!" Sora was almost screaming in the end. There was despair and regret in
