It would be unthinkable for Harvey York to travel all the way back to Buckwood on an economy class flight. Instead, he booked an entire plane for himself.He couldn’t be certain if this had something to do with the York family, but the news that he was returning to Buckwood had been leaked by some secret sources.A gigantic crowd had actually formed at the airport, waiting just for him.Harvey didn’t rush to the exit and asked Yvonne Xavier, “Yvonne, have you checked about this matter?”Yvonne came to Buckwood a few days prior to arrange everything. She furrowed her eyebrows and replied, “CEO, your travels were a tightly kept secret between us. I wasn’t able to find out which sources leaked the news.”“But when your flight landed, Miss Queenie York sent me a text.”Harvey stiffened. “What did she say?” Queenie was the adopted daughter of the York family, but her status in the family was high enough that she played a vital role in what had happened the year Harvey was kicked out
Brent Silva initially had no interest in hosting this pointless banquet.If it weren’t for the fact that his family had forced this task on him, he wouldn’t have come.Yet at this moment, he felt he had committed to the right choice.Brent was a typical phony. While he fancied both sisters, Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer, he did not act like a greasy man. Rather, he put on a personable facade. He raised his glass to Mandy, whose face was red. He said, “Senior Zimmer, let me congratulate the Zimmer family on behalf of the Silvas tonight!”“The Zimmer family is the best of the best. Now, you are the leading figure in the business community in Buckwood. You’ll be part of Buckwood’s noble circle in the near future. Here’s to you, Senior Zimmer.”Senior Zimmer was so excited that his hands shook.Brent was from the Silva family!Not only did the Silvas hold a welcome dinner for the Zimmer family, Brent Silva also personally toasted to him. This was an incredible privilege.“It’s my hono
“That’s right, I heard a very important person had come to Buckwood. He arrived at the airport in the afternoon. The Zimmer family is truly lucky, maybe all of you arrived at the same time as him!”“It’s said that the heirs of the first class families such as the Naiswells and the Cloudes are all here to see that big shot. Unfortunately, they aren’t qualified enough!”“What’s this?! I saw Queenie York of the Yorks there as well. She seemed to have been waiting at the airport for several hours. In the end, she was unfortunate and wasn’t able to meet him.”“By any chance, did you Zimmers get to see him?”Senior Zimmer remained silent.Then, he nodded and smiled at the crowd’s discussion. “Everyone. After we learned about him, our family sent him an invitation here. We’re not sure if he would come to our banquet.”“It should be impossible. How could such a big shot come to this kind of banquet?”“It’s someone that even the Yorks couldn’t meet!”No one believed him.Senior Zimmer
Immediately, the Zimmers started making weird expressions. Lilian Yates gritted her teeth. “I’ve forgotten that this useless b*stard hasn’t appeared yet!” Didn’t this live-in son-in-law understand his place?Didn’t he realize what kind of occasion this is? How could he have dared stepping inside?On top of that, he came in so boldly!Damn it!Lilian couldn’t help shooting a fierce glare at Simon Zimmer.Had it not been for his cowardice in Niumhi, she would’ve long driven this live-in son-in-law out!Did he not see that Brent Silva has fallen in love with their daughter?That was such a great opportunity!Yet, everything was ruined by this wimp!As for Simon, his gaze turned gloomy.In Niumhi, Senior Zimmer had the final say. However, that was not the case in Buckwood.He must let this wimp go!Harvey York ignored the strange gazes from the crowd and walked up to Senior Zimmer.“Congratulations, Senior Zimmer. The Zimmer family has officially set foot in Buckwood today
“Is this the live-in son-in-law? Look at how the Zimmers treat him! He doesn’t have any worth at all!”“His clothes are too shabby. I bet he doesn’t have much money.”“For a poor sap like him, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars is enough to live for a long time. I’m sure he’ll agree to it.”“But the Zimmer family is certainly interesting. To think they came up with this kind of event to entertain everyone, hahaha…”Harvey York was speechless.The crowd was talking and looking at Harvey with a gleeful look.Everyone was anticipating whether this live-in son-in-law would kneel or not.Zack Zimmer shouted fiercely, “Kneel and grovel to me!”Things were different now.Now, Zack had several great people backing him.He believed that Harvey, the live-in son-in-law, wouldn’t dare to mess with him this time.Harvey stared at Zack wordlessly. In his eyes, there was only coldness.“Kneel!”Zack pressed Harvey’s shoulder with one hand, forcing Harvey to kneel.Unfortunately, Har
Sean Zimmer replied with a puzzled look, “He should have already arrived by now. I’ll call his secretary and ask.”Soon, Sean's face became ashen and he hung up the phone. He said, “Father, the big shot had already come. He’d just left.” “What? Has he been here?”“The big shot said that the Zimmer family is too stupid…”“I understand! He must have seen that idiot Harvey making trouble when he arrived. That’s why he left angrily!”“It must be because the Zimmer family doesn’t respect him!”Senior Zimmer yelled, “Harvey, you’re a useless b*stard. You must die!”Everyone in the banquet reacted to Senior Zimmer’s outburst.The Zimmer family’s live-in son-in-law, Harvey had angered the big shot!His action was ruining the Zimmer family’s fortune!Harvey was the sinner of the Zimmer family!Right now, the Zimmers were all gritting their teeth, wishing to devour Harvey whole.Senior Zimmer turned around and looked at Simon. He said viciously, “I agree! Divorce him!”“Let Mandy d
Simon Zimmer sneered, “Harvey York, it’s not that I want to talk about you. Think about it. What were you in Niumhi in the past years?“Trash! Loser! Rubbish! That’s how people describe you!“Protecting Mandy? Protecting the Zimmer family even?!“How will you protect us?“Using your mouth?!”Lilian Yates also sneered, “To rely on this bragging mouth of yours? Harvey! I beg of you, there’s a limit to bragging!”Harvey smiled. “Father, mother, the situation now is different from that in Niumhi.”“I have to lay low in Niumhi.“But now I’m back here in Buckwood. The king is back!”Even Mandy Zimmer could not listen to this anymore this time.She glared at Harvey and said, “Harvey! Can you be more realistic?“The king is back?!“Even if you’re competent, you still have to work hard and make a little progress!“I thought you have changed these days, and yet, you’re still like this.“Can you get rid of this boastful nature of yours?“Can’t you make it a little easier for me?”
“Shut up! I don’t want to listen to these unrealistic fantasies!“Harvey, how old are you? Do you think you’re still a three-year-old kid?“Can’t we be more realistic?“Even if you have nothing, as long as you take one step at a time, I believe you can!”Mandy Zimmer sighed.Harvey York opened his mouth but did not know what to say.At this time, Mandy would not believe anything that he said.Mandy then took out a suit from the closet. “I bought this for you. Put it on tomorrow and go to the family banquet.“I will beg Grandfather and let him give you another chance!“But you must remember that you can’t go crazy like today, okay?”Harvey sighed and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”He also felt helpless after saying this.In Niumhi, he did say that he was the CEO of York Enterprise, but Mandy refused to believe him.Now that he had come to Buckwood, he said that he would protect the Zimmer family, Mandy still did not believe in him.It was not just Mandy who did not beli
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
