Harvey York glanced at Charles Zarate indifferently and said, “Since President Zarate is interested, then I’ll try my best.”Charles’ expression was cold. Harvey was certainly taunting him, but he wanted to see what this little brat could say.Harvey continued, “President Zarate, you must have heard of Princess Cassandra, right?”Charles’ face was distraught when he heard that. He suddenly thought of a legend in the antique world. At this moment, his whole body was slightly trembling. He said, “You mean…”Speaking of which, he kept shaking his head and said, “Impossible, it’s impossible!”Although in the historical records, Princess Cassandra was often related to the marriage with the Tibetan Empire, there was still a legend about her in the antique world.Princess Cassandra had a great interest in porcelain since she was a child. King Edgar once gave her a tribute from the palace when she was being married off to a different empire.This thing was said to be one of the favorite
“Is this truly Cassandra’s Wentz Bottle?”The expression on Charles Zarate’s face stiffened, his expression then changed from doubt to shock. He could not believe it.He knew about the Wentz Bottle, and also the importance of this piece.Some people who had been puzzled were all shocked at this moment. They might not know what Wentz Bottle was.However, they could easily analyze that this porcelain vase was actually from the 17th century just from Shane Naiswell’s tone of voice and Charles’ shock.Such things were rare and once it was related to the royal family, the price would be incalculable.Meanwhile, Rosalie Naiswell was also shocked.Mandy Zimmer who was not far away was a bit speechless.Harvey York, could he even identify the legendary antique?Sure enough, the two women understood that Harvey had stunned everyone once again at this moment when they saw the delighted Shane and Charles who was in shock.At this moment, everyone looked at Harvey differently.Althoug
Everyone unconsciously looked over. It was Luis Zarate who spoke.At this moment, his face was full of contempt, and the meaning was very obvious.Shane Naiswell must have told Harvey York regarding the Wentz Bottle.Many people had a thoughtful expression on their faces when those words were said.Charles Zarate was the president of the Niumhi Antique Dealers’ Association. He did not manage to identify the Wentz Bottle, but Harvey did it?There was something weird about this.However, Luis was implying that Shane had helped Harvey to cheat at this moment. Everyone dared not to agree with him.They were not afraid of offending Harvey, they were just afraid of offending the Naiswells.Shane said calmly, “Luis, are you saying that I’m covering it up for Harvey?”Luis said respectfully, “Master Naiswell, I dared not say that.”“I can’t help but feel a little confused. How did he identify the porcelain vase? Even Master got it wrong.”Shane had a half-smile on his face. He then
Harvey York smiled when he thought of this and said, “Master Naiswell, President Zarate has already said just now that he doesn’t care. Since he doesn’t care, I think there is no need for a match again. I have won anyway, and I don’t need to prove anything more.”Everyone was stunned to hear that. Luis Zarate was the first to jump up before the others could react. He then pointed at Harvey and cursed. “Live-in son-in-law, when did you win? You are just cheating. How dare you be pretentious here?! If you don’t dare to compete, then it means that you are incapable! You are useless! You are scared!”“Yeah! It’s so rare to see President Zarate willing to advise someone. But this brat is too proud!”“Could it be that you are just outwardly attractive but a worthless person? Or are you ignorant and uneducated? Thus, you are afraid to compete with President Zarate again, right?”Harvey looked at those people innocently. “You keep saying that I cheated just now. Are you implying that someo
Harvey York looked disgusted and said, “No way…”“You…”“What are you trying to say? Could it be that your watch is fake? Then what am I going to do with it?”“Don’t you know how to appraise antique watches? This watch is a Rolex Daytona prototype watch, Paul Newman! Don’t tell me that you don’t know about it!” Charles Zarate coldly snorted.Harvey unconsciously picked up the watch and glanced at it. He was quite surprised.This was indeed the legendary Rolex watch. It was the prototype of Daytona and it became famous because of the American actor, Paul Newman in the 1980s. This watch was once auctioned for about one hundred twenty million at the auction in Geneva!”This was a rare and unique item, and it was one-of-a-kind, but unexpectedly, it fell into Charles’ hands.“What? This is that legendary watch. I heard that many antique watch collectors wanted it!”“The value of this watch is enough to buy several suites in first-tier cities!”“President Zarate is quite generous. H
Harvey York glanced at Luis Zarate indifferently. He then casually said, “Are Jasper Higgins’ authentic works so common now? Getting a piece so randomly?”Swish! All eyes were concentrated on him in an instant the moment he said this.This brat was not a fool, right?President Zarate had already said that this was the authentic work of Jasper Higgins. How could he insist that it was fake for the sake of face?Was it possible that he thought he won President Zarate just now?Luis implied that he had won the previous match because Shane Naiswell helped him cheat.This brat, did he think that he was so capable just because of those mediocre skills?He just did not know when to stop, did he?Luis was surprised. He never thought Harvey would speak like this.However, he still sneered and said, “Since Master York has unique insights, we might as well listen to them.”Luis purposely emphasized the word “Master” with sarcasm.Charles was also very upset.This live-in son-in-law who
Luis Zarate sneered and cursed when Harvey York said this, “This can also be considered as an antique? If it’s real, it’s real. If it’s fake, it’s fake.”“There is no such saying in the antique industry. If you don’t know, don’t mess around and get out of here! You are not welcomed here!”Many people around also murmured a few words in a low voice. After all, this was the turf of the Naiswells. No one dared to drive Harvey away.Harvey did not even look at Luis. He then slowly said, “What President Zarate said was right. Jasper Higgins’ painting has a specific feature. No matter how marvelous the paintings were, they exude an ethereal atmosphere. I have to say that this painting had wonderfully imitated its essence.”“You…” This time Charles pointed at Harvey and his body was trembling all over.Did he say that this painting was just an imitation?Did this brat truly know about painting and calligraphy?He could see it now. This brat just wanted to show off and was talking nonse
Everyone stared at Harvey York blankly, because there was a shallow trace on this precious antique painting due to his folding just now.Harvey looked at Charles Zarate with a half-smile on his face. “President Zarate, you said that if you lose to me this time, this watch will be mine, right?”He then glanced at Luis Zarate again. “You did say that if this painting is just an imitation, you will grovel and apologize to me, right?”Charles was very anxious after he saw Harvey’s Plum Authenticity Twist.However, he was still the master in calligraphy and painting appraisal. He had confidence in his profession. How could he back off at this moment?This guy in front of him was just the live-in son-in-law of a second-class family in Niumhi. He was little-known in the antique industry. So, what if he said that this painting was fake? Should they just listen to him? What a joke!Charles had emboldened again as soon as he thought of this. He said viciously at this moment. “Yes, let me s
"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
"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."
