Harvey York sighed secretly. No wonder the secretary was being toyed around like this.Not a single man in the world could resist such a young and innocent-looking woman, after all.After sizing up the secretary, Harvey replied, “You are…?”“My name’s Harper Klein,” replied the secretary shyly.Harvey nodded.“Right. Who was the one who said those shameless things to you again?Harper hesitated for a moment.“He’s the man in charge of the approval registration, Rico Padlow. He lives here.“It’s said that he belongs to the same family in charge of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance. That’s why he’s been acting so high and mighty in front of everyone.“I heard that the people who come to register, especially the women from abroad, would have a hard time because of him!“The men lose their money while the women lose their bodies…”Harper was filled with worry and fear.She wanted to do an excellent job with Harvey’s task…But she could not accept that she needed to give
Harper Klein felt resentful. She was furious but would not dare say a word about it.The beautiful woman coldly scoffed before she said, “I’m doing business, kid! I have to entertain Chief Padlow here!“You didn’t let him cop a feel when you came here this morning!“You didn’t let him have a smooch when you came this afternoon!“And now you’re here asking him to work for you? How do you expect him to do anything at this point?“If I were you, I would’ve let Chief Padlow take a good look at my body to make everything easier already!Then, the woman bashfully leaned into Rico Padlow’s arms with a smile.“Am I right, Chief Padlow?”The woman then disdainfully glared at Harper.Rico burst out laughing while he moved his hands around the woman’s body.“That’s right. That’s exactly how it should be! Take your clothes off so I can get a good look at you, kid!“If I’m happy about it, I’ll probably be open to discussing many things!”The woman showed a disdainful expression. She obv
The woman was about to make the call.“Please don’t! It’s just a misunderstanding…”Harper Klein was terrified. She was born in the South Sea. That was why she knew what would happen if she went against those people.She took a step forward before bowing deeply.“Sir York’s from Hong Kong and Las Vegas, Chief Padlow. He came here with good faith. Please, help him.“We’ll reward you nicely after everything’s done.”“Reward my *ss!”Rico Padlow sized up Harper with a disdainful look on his face.“Don’t you know how I work?! I want my reward now!“You want me to wait until everything’s done?!“You can’t even do things properly now! How can I expect you to do anything after this?!”Rico was filled with a burning passion. If he could take the innocent young woman for himself, he would have an enjoyable time soon enough.And since nobody else was there, he would not mind being a little more fearless with his actions.Harvey stepped in front of Harper to block her from Rico’s gaz
“You’re pretending to call Gael Padlow?”The woman was showing a disdainful look when she saw Harvey York using the phone.“Do you know who Gael is? He’s the Padlow family’s young master. His identity in the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance is immense!“Are you calling him?“Who are you trying to fool here?“At least make it more convincing!“Take a look at yourself in the mirror while you’re at it!“You think you have the right to even call Gael?!”Rico Padlow let out a cold chuckle.“You’ve got guts to show off in front of me, kid!“If I tell this to Young Master Padlow, you’re dead for sure!“Judging from how he does things, whoever’s using his name to show off will be forced to grovel as an apology!”Harvey hung up the phone before he looked at Rico.“Don’t worry. I don’t need you to do that for me.“That said, you’ll have to kneel while you finish registering the business.”‘What did he just say?’The woman showed a playful smile.“Are you done pretending?” sh
Gael Padlow quickly stumbled into the room while his entire body was covered in plasters and bandages.A few higher-ups of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau showed horrible expressions while following behind Gael.Rico Padlow frantically stood up and bowed.“Young Master Padlow! Sirs!”The woman and the other workers quickly stepped back before respectfully greeting Gael and the others.Other than Gael, both the director and vice director of Blackburn City’s Industrial and Commercial Bureau were there. Their statuses were extraordinary.The small fries in front of them were no different than dogs on the street.Gael completely ignored the people before them and quickly walked toward Harvey York.“Is there something causing you trouble here, Sir York?” asked Gael with his face leaned in.“Who is it?!“I’ll take him out right now!”Rico and the woman instantly lost color in their faces after seeing Gael’s submissive demeanor in front of Harvey.They did not expect that Har
Harvey York looked at the sight without giving a direct answer.“Thank you, Director.”The director kept slapping Rico Padlow around before he exclaimed, “Apologize to Sir York this instant!”“I’m sorry, Sir York! I’m really sorry!Cold sweat was covering his entire body while he kept bowing.“I was wrong! I’ll get everything done right now!”“While you’re kneeling,” replied Harvey.“You hear that?! Do that while you’re kneeling!”Gael Padlow could guess what had happened after hearing Harvey’s words.Gael instantly kicked Rico down while he gritted his teeth. He wanted him dead so badly at this moment.Harvey almost crippled the entire Padlow family, and yet Rico was still showing off in front of him regardless.Gael’s rage was not quelled then. Rico’s face was utterly swollen after taking a few more kicks in the face.Rico would not dare to stand, nor did he fight back. He had no other choice but to endure everything.When Rico looked like he was just about to pass out,
Harper Klein knew she was making everything complicated for Harvey York because of her inexperience.“I’m sorry for being this helpless, Sir York,” said Harper shyly.Harvey shook his head without saying anything before he left the building.As soon as he was about to call a cab, he glanced at the store at the corner of the street.Even though the store looked quite large and luxurious, it looked abandoned since the people here were not too keen on spending money.A board was placed in front of the store, saying it was also up for rental.Harvey nodded after taking a few glances at the store.“This place isn’t bad at all. We’ll definitely do great if we make this our flagship store!”Harper could tell that the store was in a strategic spot as well.“No problem! I’ll contact the property owner so we can rent the place!”“No need to rent this out. We’ll just buy it,” replied Harvey.Harper lightly bit her tongue upon realizing how deep of a pocket Harvey had.‘He does seem li
“I gave him a chance, yet he won’t cherish it!“He won’t give me a call! He didn’t even bring me a single gift!“He’s scum! He’s just some playboy!“I’ll never give this man another chance!“Who does he think he is?! All he does is hurt me!”Ellen Moreno lightly bit her lip. At this moment, she felt extremely resentful.The security guards were all trembling in fear when they saw Ellen swaying around, as if she was about to fall at any moment.After all, there were too many people who needed to take responsibility for the situation.“No!” exclaimed the security guards in unison.“You can’t do that, Ellen. What am I supposed to do without you?” said Harvey York quickly after rushing forward.“You didn’t forget, did you? Not only am I your boyfriend, but I’m also your fiance!“You can’t just jump for another man in front of me!”“What?!”The security guards were showing odd expressions after hearing Harvey’s words.They thought Ellen was just a pure and innocent woman who w
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
