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
‘Let alone this kept man, even Rosalie Naiswell could not come up with eight million dollars at once to buy a necklace!’‘This must be stolen!’‘No wonder this kept man insisted Rosalie to open the gift box after she had returned home because he was afraid of being discovered!Owen Hawkins sneered and looked over at Rosalie. “You’d never know, Rosalie. Your taste in men is truly indescribable. Even now, you are having a crush on a thief?”“But you’re quite skillful in stealing! In just a few minutes, you could already get eight million dollars! Amazing!”Rosalie’s face turned frigid. She said coldly, “Owen, let me warn you, watch your tongue! You better stop talking nonsense.”“Nonsense? Me?” Owen laughed out loud.He then clapped his hands and said loudly, “Everyone, come and have a look! Someone has stolen something! A necklace worth eight million dollars was stolen. This is more exciting than a movie! Don’t let him run away!”Owen’s announcement caused a hubbub…A group of
There was a murmur spread through the crowd. Rosalie Naiswell slightly frowned.She could not get through with those ordinary people about the value of antique watches. After all, people who did not deal with antiques could not understand the value of such things.Rosalie looked at Owen Hawkins and said while thinking of this, “Owen, you are from the Hawkins of Mordu. Can’t you see that Harvey’s watch is real? He can wear watches worth hundreds of million dollars casually. Do you think that he will steal a necklace worth a few million dollars? Can you stop looking for trouble here?”“Is it worth hundreds of millions?” Owen sneered, “If it’s a legendary watch, it is indeed worth hundreds of millions. But for a fake watch, it’s already quite good if it’s worth dozens of dollars!”“Rosalie, you the Naiswells run an antique business. Don’t try to defend a thief and ruin the reputation of the Naiswells. Master Naiswell will not let you go by then!”“You…” Rosalie was helpless at this t
Ria Ferguson looked at Ella Graves. There was a trace of jealousy in her eyes. She did have some confidence in her appearance. However, the two women she met today, one was cold and the other was pure. Let alone the appearance, she could not even compare with them in terms of temperament.Ria was even more upset. At this moment, she said mockingly, “Will he be innocent just because you said that he’s innocent? This necklace is worth eight million dollars. Do you know what it means? Even selling you wouldn't cost that much!”“Which part of this kept man seems rich? He does not have that temperament. If he didn’t steal, how can he get this kind of thing? Just by daydreaming?”Ella faintly smiled, like a lotus blooming in summer. “I believe in him. He will never steal. You have my word of honor!”Many people around were whispering back and forth, discussing it when they heard this.Ria was hinting that Ella was doing the rough trade and had no integrity at all. Ella was not angry
“Sir!”The next moment, the store manager bowed respectfully. She then picked up the gift box. She then said, “Sir, you left too soon just now. I didn’t manage to give you the invoice.”“Besides, your expense limit is so high. The head office called and said that we should register you for the highest-level membership. Is it convenient for you to leave your phone number? In this case, someone from our side can contact you if there are any exhibitions and new products in the future.”What?Invoice?Even applying for the highest-level membership?And inviting him to the exhibitions?In other words, was this necklace bought by this guy in front of her?For a moment, it was as silent as death.Almost everyone opened their mouths wide, they were horrified and could not believe it.Eight million dollars!He was rich!Ria Ferguson was stunned at this moment, Her face turned pale.Impossible!How could this kept man afford it?It was a necklace of eight million dollars! Not eigh
Harvey York unconsciously glanced at Rosalie Naiswell.Rosalie was not stupid. She could see that Ella Graves also had a crush on Harvey.However, she nodded and smiled after thinking about it. “It’s okay. You have given me such an expensive gift. It doesn’t matter what I eat tonight.”Ella glanced at Rosalie in surprise upon hearing this. She was a little shocked.She was not surprised that Harvey gave Mandy Zimmer such an expensive thing.Nonetheless, what was going on here with this sister who was very cold at first glance?At this moment, Ella’s cell phone rang, and it was her mentor.The phone was connected, and an old voice came from the opposite end, saying, “Ella, why haven’t you and your senior arrived here yet? Are you secretly going on a date?”Ella and Jensen Carlson’s lecturer was also attending the medical seminar.However, he probably did not find the two students there. Thus, he called to tease them.Ella glanced at the gentle Jensen and said, “Lecturer, stop
If Harvey York were here, he could instantly recognize that the person standing with her head drooping at this moment was indeed Thea York.Thea who was known to be able to get everything she wanted in South Light was now pale with sweat dripping from her face, and it messed up her delicate makeup.Less than ten meters in front of her, a man wearing traditional Chinese costume, with a handsome face, who seemed to be at most twenty-five years old, was playing chess alone.He was in charge of both black and white at the same time and was playing very intensely on the chessboard.Only the sound of the moving chess pieces were occasionally heard in the empty hall. Although Thea was shivering, she dared not make any sound. Crash!Half an hour later, the jade chessboard shattered at this moment after the last piece was being moved, like big and small beads falling, making the ding-dong sound.Thud. Thea immediately kneeled on the ground, but still, she dared not breathe.She waite
The opposing force got out of the helicopters after they landed, armed with weapons. Some were melee weapons, some were firearms, and they looked high and mighty all the way.Kenta had no choice but to step up. He raised his hand and yelled, "I'm from Fujihara…"But before he could even finish, someone from the other side had already pulled the trigger. A bullet streaked through Kenta's hair, and he finally broke a sweat when he realized what had just happened.Harvey knew very clearly that they were coming for him after seeing what happened. That was why he decided not to stay still anymore and stepped forward. He coldly said, "You're here for me, aren't you? Tell Isoroku to come talk to me."I have to say you are quite brave, Harvey. Calling me by name without any honorifics," A stern and cold voice came from a helicopter right before them. The door opened, and an islander slowly walked out. It was a man with white hair and beard.His figure was thin and even looked sickly, defi
"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
