“I won’t be able to live with myself if I don’t save him now.”Harvey York showed a gentle smile.Xynthia Zimmer froze before heaving a huge sigh.After all, her favorite brother-in-law was that kind of person.Without a second thought, she let go of his hand.Harvey stepped out from the crowd.“Are you here to save my grandfather, kind sir?”The woman saw Harvey’s scrawny physique and thought he could not save anyone…But she was terribly desperate. She did not have another choice.“If you can get my grandfather out, I’ll give you a hundred and fifty thousand dollars right now!Harvey quickly strode to the car.The smell of fuel completely filled the entire place. The car had been completely crushed as well.Half of the man’s body was wedged under the car. He completely passed out because of all the pain. It was as if his insides were being squished at this very moment.Harvey quickly held the car’s steel frame in place as he pulled the man’s clothes, trying to drag him o
Harvey York did not want to get involved any longer, but he could not bear the sight of the old man suffering.After pondering about it for a while, he said to the woman, “There’s something terrible in your grandfather.“You only got into this accident because of this.“I suggest that you go…“Something bad?The woman was completely enraged.“You were trying to kill my grandfather just for some money!“How dare you say something like that just to get yourself out of the situation?!“I’ll beat the crap out of you if you keep spouting nonsense like this!”The woman became angrier by the moment before she swung her palm forward.Tap!The slap did not land on Harvey’s face.Xynthia Zimmer instantly raised her hand to block the attack.“My brother-in-law’s just being nice, lady!“He was the only one to stand up and help! It’s already bad enough that you’re not grateful, but you’re even trying to hit him?!“You can call the cops if you really think his actions caused your gran
Harvey York opened the trunk to grab his luggage.He saw a simple gift box inside. It was a radish covered in mud.“Flaxseed from the Great White Mountain?”Harvey was confused. He did not expect that Dariel Jackson would have a surprise for him here.This was an excellent tonic. Usually, it would be used to strengthen the bodies of older men.Since Harvey was planning to get remarried, he would also need Lilian Yates and Simon Zimmer’s agreement. After thinking about the situation, he decided to pick up the Flaxseed.Mandy Zimmer got out of the villa after receiving the word.She froze after seeing a plastic bag in Harvey’s hand.“This is…”“Just a small gift for Mom and Dad,” Harvey replied. He did not bother explaining any further.Xynthia Zimmer stuck her tongue out before she slipped away after seeing her sister.Mandy was stunned after hearing Harvey’s words. She did not expect that he would still prepare something for their parents despite their relationship.“Their
“Hahaha! You did?Gabriel Lee burst out laughing before looking at Harvey York’s plastic bag.“You’re not talking about this, are you?“You came all the way here just to get Father and Mother’s agreement for your remarriage, yet you’re bringing in a gift like this?”Before Mandy Zimmer could even say anything, Gabriel stepped forward and grabbed Harvey’s plastic bag out of his hand.The bag was opened soon after.A fresh radish could be seen inside it.“A radish? Did you just pluck this off the ground?“Is this even worth a single dollar?“No wonder Father and Mother keep calling you a useless filth!“You’re bringing this to ask for their agreement?“Are you shameless?“Leave!“The family doesn’t welcome you!”Along with Gabriel’s words, the wealthy people acquainted with Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates showed odd looks as they glared at Harvey.Their expressions were filled with disdain. They believed that Harvey’s presence only lowered the standard of the gathering.Har
“I’m not Father and Mother’s actual son. I’m just a godson without a status…“But I know I should be making them happy no matter the cost!“As long as I can hear their laughter, I’d be willing to spend all my life savings on anything!“But you say this is good enough when you’re just buying some random gift to fool them?!“Sigh! Looks like I’m just an outsider after all!“I did my best to treat Father and Mother, yet I can’t even compete against a damn radish!”Gabriel Lee seemed helpless before he showed a stern expression on his face.Avery Foster quickly lifted Gabriel when he felt a little dizzy.“I told you many times, Gabriel!” she whispered.“You treat them like actual parents, but there’s no way you can beat the blood of an actual family!”The crowd sighed while they showed pitiful looks toward Gabriel.“Yeah! There aren’t a lot of respectful people like Gabriel nowadays!”“It’s their blessing to have someone like him!”“More importantly, he’s more respectful even
A truly capable man would not become a live-in son-in-law.More importantly, the guests naturally had to stand with Gabriel Lee since they all took something from him.“Just shut up if you don’t know anything, Harvey York! Stop spouting nonsense!”“Yeah! Just look at yourself! How dare you slander Gabriel like that?!”“You pretend to be a professional or something?! You think it’s fake just because you said so?!”“I heard that you don’t even have an educational background! You have no right to appraise calligraphy paintings if you can’t even read!”“Gabriel’s an extremely well-known collector here! It’s definitely real if he says it is!”The crowd was in an uproar. They were relentlessly ridiculing Harvey, and it was extremely ear-piercing.Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer’s expressions instantly darkened.They did not expect Gabriel would be this shameless.“We’ll just have to get another expert to appraise this then,” replied Harvey calmly.“I’ll pay for the expert myself.”Gabri
Lilian Yates’ pupils shrunk the moment she saw Harvey York.Then, she disdainfully sat down on a chair before saying, “Bring me the painting, my dear.“Your father and I will take a look at it.”The two came from wealthy families, after all. It was only natural for them to have some experience in this.Since Simon Zimmer had been painfully researching all sorts of collectibles back in South Light, he had more knowledge in appraising in general.Gabriel Lee would not have purchased the Claudius if that were not the case.Gabriel pridefully glared at Harvey before handing the painting to Simon.Simon took out a magnifying glass before pretending to look all over the painting.A few minutes later, Simon started whispering in Lilian’s ear.Lilian instinctively glared at Gabriel.Her expression was as cold as ice.Gabriel immediately trembled in his boots. Lilian’s gaze was just too terrifying.Obviously, they found out that the painting was fake.Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer were
“Right! He’s a man living off his wife! He’s about to get kicked out of the family anyway! Why even bother at this point?”“If a live-in son-in-law even knows how to read and write, pigs are going to start flying!”“Gabriel Lee’s an extremely talented figure in the city! He wouldn’t try to fool everyone with a fake painting!”The crowd disdainfully glared at Harvey York.“Get over here and apologize already! Stop making Father and Mother upset!” exclaimed Gabriel proudly.He was acting extremely arrogant, as if he was the actual son of the family.Harvey completely ignored Gabriel and smiled playfully in front of Lilian Yates.It was not that she could not distinguish that the painting was fake…In her mind, Harvey was just a live-in son-in-law trying to climb the ranks of the family.Judging from the grudge between the two, it was already nice enough for Lilian not to do anything to Harvey. Why would she even uphold justice at this point?Not only was Gabriel extremely respe
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
