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
“Bullsh*t!” Someone yelled.“That’s the trace you just folded. You ruined a famous legend painting and you are still talking nonsense here! Believe it or not, I’ll hit you!”“Yeah! Taking this as the evidence? Do you think that we are stupid? Or are you out of your mind?”“Harvey, can you not be so funny? Hurry up and kneel. If you anger everyone later, you will be beaten up.” Luis Zarate also sneered again and again.Although Harvey York explained it very well and thoroughly, he did not have any evidence to support his words. Everything was just speculation. It was useless.In this case, everyone would surely believe in Charles Zarate, and would never believe him.Harvey stared at Luis as if he was looking at a fool. He then said, “Boy, your Master’s skills aren’t that good. I can now understand why that’s all you got.”“After this, I suggest you change to a better master. Don’t waste your life on him!”Harvey patted Luis on the shoulder with regret after speaking.“Go away!
“Ignorant fool making irresponsible remarks! I’m tired of arguing with you!”Charles Zarate glared at Harvey York, then moved his sights to Shane Naiswell.“Shane, you’re the patriarch of appraising treasury. Everyone would believe what you say if you’d appraise the painting.”“That’s right, Master Naiswell! Do your thing!”“Yeah! Don’t let this live-in son-in-law insult President Zarate’s reputation!”“We believe that Master Naiswell, with your stature and identity, you won’t judge carelessly.”Shane gazed into Charles’ eyes, then fumbled around for a magnifying glass and started to look closely into the painting.After a moment, he quietly spoke, “The vigorous tiger in the painting looks really vivid and mighty… From this standpoint, this must be a real painting, no doubt.”“Wha…”The whole crowd was shocked beyond belief!The live-in son-in-law gave his blind analysis speech like he knew what he was talking about, the result wasn’t even that bad!But how could it possibly
Charles Zarate was furious, the aura on him immediately dissipated. He then looked at Harvey York, disdained.“Young man, what are you saying? Master Naiswell had already concluded that the painting is indeed real, but you’re still here running your mouth. You’re not actually doubting his eyesight now are you?”Shane Naiswell was the patriarch of treasury appraisal, who would dare to question his abilities?A lowly live-in son-in-law not willing to admit that he’s wrong even after that, he truly does not fear death.At that moment, everyone at the fair was judging Harvey with disgust.Shane Naiswell swung his hand side to side.“Please, everyone. Harvey’s right. Why don’t you let me finish speaking first?”‘Huh?’‘Master Naiswell isn’t done talking? But he had already said that the painting is real. Is he going to take back what he said?’‘For a live-in son-in-law?’‘Is he really that worth it?’Shane kept talking, “This painting is real, yes. But it is not by Jasper Higgins
Harvey York immediately jumped into appraising the antiques.“This short sword must have come from the 12th century. Despite being a little eroded, a little patina on these bronze wares should be normal!”“This chandelier must be from the 15th century, supplied to the palace!”“And this thumb ring, this must be the legendary ring that Prince George used for hunting.”Shane Naiswell was frozen after Harvey was done appraising.He then clapped for Harvey after coming back to his senses, full of gratification.‘Gifted. Harvey truly is gifted in appraising treasury, making the profession look easy. Not everyone in the field is able to be like this.’‘A shame that he does not have any interest to be successful in the profession. Something extremely precious in the eyes of Charles and his student is nothing for Harvey.’‘A man like this has to be the best heir for the Naiswells.’‘I just don’t know when he’s going to divorce his wife…’Shane Naiswell let out a huge sigh while looki
At the Zimmer Villa.Senior Zimmer sat on top of the seat that belonged to him. His seat felt like an iron throne, it symbolized his authority and power.The Zimmer family was truly arrogant, he truly believed that the Zimmer family were nobility, a first class family.The complex and redundant rules aside, they even had to make proper arrangements on who sat where and this was truly hilarious.Lilian Yates saw Senior Zimmer composing his anger and unconsciously said to Harvey York, “Harvey! Hurry up and properly greet Senior Zimmer! See what instructions he would give you!”“Senior, are you really trying to make a stand for Zack Zimmer?”Harvey laughed.“Harvey, not only you’ve got the talent, you’ve sure got guts too!”Senior Zimmer made a face full of rage, his tone turned strict.“I don’t know where you learned all these martial arts from, but do you really think that you could just simply climb the ranks by learning a few tricks and do whatever you please in the Zimmer fa
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
