When Zack Zimmer had arrived at the villa, Senior Zimmer swiftly told him about the collaboration with the Naiswells.At the same time, Senior Zimmer made a straight face.“Zack, this collaboration might be overseen by Rosalie Naiswell herself. You have to grab this chance. If you can somehow make her yours, I wouldn’t even mind you being their live-in son-in-law!”Zack froze.‘My grandfather was usually nice to me, why would he ask me to be someone else’s live-in son-in-law? Is he planning to give up on me?’Senior Zimmer had seen through Zack’s thoughts, he then reassured him and said, “Zack, be rest assured. The Zimmers will always be open to you even if you somehow managed to be the Naiswells’ live-in son-in-law. Don’t you worry about it!”“About Rosalie Naiswell, you can try it if you want. I heard that she might be the next heir of the Naiswells. If you can make her yours, even to the point of being a live-in son-in-law, you could take her place in the future when she has c
Harvey York’s eyes twitched, he looked up to the ceiling, speechless.‘Why would she still ask about this after so long?’This affair could not be easily explained.Without a second thought, he sighed.“Mandy, please just trust me on this one. We’re really just friends! If we really had some kind of affair, I’ll get hit by a car when I go outside!”Mandy Zimmer reached out her hand and covered his mouth.“Shush! Don’t jinx it, stop talking nonsense. I believe you already!”The two looked at each other and smiled, the ice seemingly being broken.The quarrels between spouses are usually short, but the relationship between Harvey and Mandy were too complex. They did not even count as actual husband and wife, only on the outside. It was because of this that so many contradictions between the two had arisen.“Harvey, I have to work. You head off first, come back home sooner.” Mandy said shyly.She made her decision, she might have to cross the line that night. If not, her husband
In the evening, Harvey York had left the office and drove his Porsche to fetch Rosalie Naiswell.Rosalie was as giddy as a little girl with ice cream when she got on the front passenger seat. She thought that Harvey would only go fetch her with an electric bike, she even prepared herself to force a smile on the bike. She did not think that he would drive a Porsche here.This meant that Harvey must really value Rosalie, right?“What are you laughing at?”Harvey was confused. A woman’s mind is so complex, it changes so frequently when it wants to.Rosalie looked out the window and smiled. “Nothing. I just wanted to smile. Got a problem?”“No problem at all! You’re the young lady of the Naiswells. Not just in Niumhi, even in all of South Light, you can do whatever you want.” Harvey York said.Harvey did not say those words for flattery. Despite the Naiswells not being able to control all of Niumhi just yet, their authority was still extraordinary.“Then let’s go shopping. When I
Rosalie Naiswell did not recognize the two. She looked at them for a while and then nodded.“Oh, it’s you guys. We haven’t even met after graduating university, what a coincidence seeing you guys in Niumhi.”Ria Ferguson smiled and walked toward Rosalie while trampling on her high heels, then gave her the elevator eyes.“I know, right? What a small world we live in!”Ria’s husband had tried to pursue Rosalie during their time in university. Naturally, she would have hostility toward Rosalie at that moment.Ria took a thorough look at Harvey York and laughed. “Rosalie, I heard that the Naiswells didn’t have a man worthy enough to inherit the family business this generation and that you’re planning to find a live-in son-in-law.”“The man in front of me isn’t really who you picked, yes?”“If you ask for my opinion, there were plenty of fish in the sea during your time in university. Why pick such a poor wretch?”“But fair enough, only people like this would be someone else’s liv
“Wha—”A few store clerks were perplexed.That was a Platinum Card!This thing could not be compared to the Amex Black Card, but was also a symbol of identity and status. People that do own this card were said to have assets worth thousands.There were no more than a hundred of those in all of Niumhi.After a moment of shock, the store clerk bowed in front of him and said, “This respectful gentleman. With this card, we are able to sell the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ to you.”Their voices weren’t that audible, but people from nearby jewelry stores looked toward their direction anyway. They did not think that a limited edition product like the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ would be sold out already a few days after release.After hearing this, Owen Hawkins arrogantly looked and smiled at Rosalie Naiswell.“Rosalie, you should at least have some standards in looking for a man. You can’t just simply find a man and expect him to buy you a necklace like this.”Ria Ferguson clung onto her husband’s arm,
Ria Ferguson laughed coldly.“Oh, Rosalie Naiswell. I remember you saying during university that you would find yourself a Prince Charming in the future.”“And then what happened? How are you not embarrassed taking a kept man that’s using your money to go shopping with you?”Rosalie looked at Ria with an expression as cold as ice and then shook her head.“Harvey, don’t let these people ruin our date. Let’s go, leave the necklace.”Harvey York nodded. He was only there to shop with Rosalie, there was no need to cause such a big trouble. He turned his body, ready to leave.Owen Hawkins chuckled.“This so-called Amex Black Card is also fake, I assume?”“I heard that a fake Amex Black Card only costs you twenty five dollars. The appearance of the card looks real too, am I really this lucky to be able to encounter a thing like this?”Harvey took his card back and glanced at Owen.“Even if it is fake, what’s it got to do with you?”“I just can’t stand people posing around even tho
Rosalie Naiswell shook her head constantly.She did like the necklace, but the price was too much to handle.Not just the live-in son-in-law, Harvey York, even she could not bring that much cash at that time.Rosalie pulled Harvey out of the jewelry store.Harvey smiled without saying a word, he knew that Rosalie really liked the necklace.The necklace was indeed expensive, but the price was nothing to Harvey. He’d thought to just buy it behind her back then give it to her later.While the two were talking, Owen Hawkins and Ria Ferguson walked right toward them.Ria seemed to forget the embarrassment that she had endured before and then hypocritically said, “Oh Rosalie, it must be fate that we’re able to bump into each other in Niumhi. Why don’t we find a spot to talk together?”Ever since Ria married Owen, the only thing she resented him for was the time when he tried to pursue Rosalie during their time in university.Now that the opportunity had arisen to strike a few more b
Seeing that Harvey York was slightly annoyed by what had happened, the manager would not dare to spout any more nonsense and kept nodding.“Yes! Of course!”The store clerks quickly packed up the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ and respectfully handed it over to Harvey.There was a store clerk that was slightly more beautiful than the others that kept sending eye signals to Harvey and even unconsciously touching his hand.Harvey did not even bat an eye.A few minutes later, Harvey brought a boutique box back to the place he was before.At that moment, those three were still having a conversation.But Rosalie Naiswell did not even want to speak with the other two. She had only stayed reluctantly to give face to the Hawkins family in Mordu.At that moment, Harvey smiled and walked up to Rosalie with the box and gave it to her.“You’re leaving tomorrow. Here’s a little token of appreciation for you, I’ll welcome you the next time you come to Niumhi as a guest!”Rosalie felt delighted. For Har
"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."
