Everyone was shocked. There was light at the end of the tunnel, after all.Lilian didn’t suffer behind bars, and she even got 1.5 million dollars as compensation. Safe to say, the losses of her shop were sufficiently repaid.Lilian was proud about it; the more miserable she was when she in jail, the cockier she got when she was bailed out.Thinking of the second-in-command respectfully apologizing to her, she felt even more refreshed.Simon was exhilarated as well. He told Lilian everything that had happened, then looked at Silas with admiration.“There’s something you don’t know, honey. Without Silas’s help, you wouldn’t be able to get out that easily. Mr. Bolton wouldn’t even compensate you with that much money in the first place.”“You probably still would be in jail at this point!”“Aunt Anderson’s still stuck behind bars, and she’s not getting any compensation either.”Simon patted Silas’s shoulder gratefully.“What a good kid.”He was filled with admiration, thinking th
Harvey frowned. Before he could say anything, Mandy already spoke up for him.“Enough, Gabriel. I have a husband,” she said, frowning.Mandy had already decided to break off from Silas once and for all.She didn’t want to remain friends after their cooperation, either.Who knew that Lilian would owe Silas such a huge favor?“Husband?”“That kept man’s your husband?”Gabriel chuckled coldly.“Father and Mother told me about it already,” he said arrogantly. “Ever since he became the family’s live-in son-in-law, he hasn’t done a single thing for the past three years.”“And after you divorced him, he’s still here trying to leech the family!”“What’s the point of keeping someone like that here?”Avery laughed as well. “We need him to clean up the toilets, of course!”“What are you saying?”Gabriel pretended to look angry, and continued to mock Harvey. “Did you forget?”“Sir York here has relations with Kairi Patel herself!”“Maybe he begged for her to help this time!”Ga
Silas said such profound words, and behaved so politely. Lilian was very much satisfied with him.His looks and personality were no different from protagonists of TV dramas.Just like the protagonists, he was a romantic man; he was infatuated with Mandy, which was why he remained single for a long time.If Harvey was out of the picture, Mandy would be able to finally marry Silas. The Zimmer family would gain a powerful backer.And then, the Jean family would probably make Mandy the head of the family.Compared to the top tenth family of Country H, the John family was simply superior.Lilian looked at her future son-in-law, pleased as punch.Simon smiled gently. “Oh, Silas. Mandy will need your help to stand her ground in Golden Sands,” Lilian said. “You should take care of her.”“Don’t let other people take advantage of her!”Silas smiled back.“You’re overexaggerating.”“I’ll always spoil Mandy like a little princess, no matter what!”“I’ll give the entire world for
Seven o’clock at night, at the entrance of the Golden Plaza.The place was luxurious, lit up by dazzling bright lights.Two rows of beautiful women in gorgeous dresses stood at the entrance.After parking the car, Silas and the Zimmer family walked to the entrance haughtily.They felt proud when they saw such a grand entrance.Lilian even wanted to record a video to show off to her friend group.She would let herself down if she passed on that opportunity!A woman stepped forward to welcome them, blocking Silas and the others with a smile.“Hello. Are you Mr. York?”“Mr. York?”Gabriel was furious.“Are you insane?!”“I’m Gabriel—your manager’s good friend!”“I booked the Heavenly Box here!”Gabriel felt pompous after saying those words.Usually, he wouldn’t be able to afford the Heavenly Box. After all, the starting price of the room cost at least twelve thousand dollars.The people who could afford it had powerful statuses as well. The ladies here would suck up to suc
“I’m not going to that sh*tty place! Not even dogs go there!”Avery glared disdainfully. “Besides, today’s Mother’s big day. She’ll be embarrassed if we just leave like that!”“The entire place is booked, you say?” Gabriel coldly asked.“I don’t f*cking care!”“The Heavenly Box has to be ours tonight!”“I’m a member here! You need to serve me, no matter what!”“If not, I’ll report you people to the Food and Drug Administration!”Gabriel had a determined look.After all, he couldn’t even do anything significant. If he couldn’t deal with such a small matter, Lilian would surely look down on him.The lady smiled, unperturbed by his threats.“I’m sorry. You can report us all you want, but we can’t serve you tonight.”“Please don’t block the entrance,” she said firmly.“My name is Silas John.” Silas stepped forward with a smile before Gabriel could lash out.“Tell your boss to see me.”“Tell them that I’m here!”The lady froze. She was naturally terrified of the John family
“Ms. Lee! I was wondering who it was!”Silas glared coldly at her, his eyes narrowed.“Do you think you have the right to go against me just because the Newgate Chamber of Commerce is backing you up?”Silas was filled with disdain.At the end of the day, Ms. Lee was just a woman who relied on Kellan to rise to power.‘Does she really think that she’s capable?’‘Does a sinful woman like her have any rights?’Ms. Lee smiled faintly.“True, CEO Ruiz and I are small fries. We’re nothing to you.”“That said, Mr. Bolton has the place booked for the honorable Mr. York.”“If he knew that a mere relative of the John family is causing trouble outside…”“I’m sure he’ll be here to teach you a lesson soon enough.”Ms. Lee spoke gently.She seemed so frail, as if a small gust of wind could bring her down. However, her threatening words were enough to make Silas’s eyes twitch.“Mr. Bolton?” he said, cold sweat forming on his forehead.“Which Mr. Bolton?”Ms. Lee chuckled.“Other than
A custom-made Maybach stopped in front of them. Eight layers of glass were stacked in every single window. Even sniper rifles couldn’t penetrate it.A Rolls-Royce Phantom sat between eight of the Maybach cars. It had an old-school look to it. It wasn’t going too fast, but it exuded a dignified aura.Ms. Lee and the others trembled, and rushed forward.“Mr. Bolton’s here!”Silas and the others instinctively stood at the side, looking at the convoy with admiration and curiosity.They could tell that Azrael was coming.They wanted to know who he invited.Judging from Azrael’s identity, the people he’d invite would normally be from the five hidden families or the top ten families.The door of the cars opened.Thirty-six fierce men in suits rushed out, looking stern and unapproachable.Eight men in robes walked out, their eyes sharp and fearsome.After all the men made sure that there wasn’t any danger, they opened the door of the Rolls-Royce.Everyone saw a single leg coming ou
Harvey nodded with a smile, and walked beside Azrael.Saul, Lochlan, Kellan, and the others followed as well.The group chatted idly, in high spirits.Lilian and the others were shocked. They couldn’t accept the fact that Harvey was Azrael’s guest. They couldn’t bear Harvey looking down on them, either.No—he didn’t even see them in the first place.Birds in the sky wouldn’t bat an eye toward mere ants.It was only natural.Mandy let out a silent sigh.She knew Harvey had an extraordinary identity. She doubted him at first, but her belief was getting stronger again after seeing what was happening in front of her.Sometimes, she would think that Harvey was below her.But most of the time, she’d feel that Harvey was like a star in the sky—completely unreachable.It was fate that the two were even a married couple to begin with.It felt like a dream—it was almost unreal.While Lilian and the others were still shocked, Avery didn’t want to believe anything in front of her. She
"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
