“Shut up! This isn’t just a van!”At that moment, Eddie King had cold sweats dripping down his back.His father had exhorted him to not offend people that drove one of the two types of cars.One of them was the Toyota Alphard; the other was a Tesla.Reason being; the people that drove cars like those just had too much money to spend.Xynthia Zimmer’s brother-in-law had seemed more and more mysterious in Eddie’s eyes at that moment.“Look closely at what car this is. You’d have to take responsibility for the nonsense you spout, you know…” Harvey York said after getting in his car.Xynthia knew that was the line for her to move. She gave a wide smile and rushed toward Eddie while rolling her eyes adorably and then sat on the front passenger seat. The Toyota Alphard quietly left the scene, only Eddie was left at the carpark unable to brain what he just saw.He knew that if he had spread false rumors about Xynthia, her brother-in-law could make him dead.***While the car was o
“We can’t talk about this in public.”But to be fair, the van was indeed fairly discreet; people that were not experts wouldn’t even know about it.Soon, the van arrived in front of the district that the rented house of the family was in. But the moment that the van was about to enter, Harvey York stopped.The young man that drove the van here had never left, he respectfully took the keys and drove the van away after that.Back home, Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates had been waiting for a long while.Seeing that Harvey was the one that brought Xynthia Zimmer in, the two’s expressions suddenly turned dark. Lilian said disrespectfully, “Xynthia, don’t walk too close to this man! Useless!”Simon frowned.“Mandy, didn’t I ask you to fetch Xynthia? How could you let this filth go in your stead?”Naturally, ever since Mandy Zimmer became the CEO of the Silver Nimbus Enterprise, Simon and his family despised Harvey even more.Previously, they felt that Harvey was dragging Mandy’s legs,
On the dining table, Simon Zimmer and his wife were accompanying Xynthia Zimmer. They doted on their youngest daughter.They might have to rely on their youngest daughter to bask in wealth and glory in the future, of course they would treat her better.Mandy Zimmer sat in front of them.Xynthia looked at Harvey not far from her, she could not hold in her words.“Mother, Father, why don’t we let the brother-in-law come over?”“Him? Today’s food was prepared just for you! What right does he have to be here?”Lilian Yates despised Harvey York more at that moment.He used to wash the restroom and carry foot wash before in Niumhi.He did not even do any of those now that the family had relocated to Buckwood.What use did he have even?“If it were me, I’d find time for Mandy to divorce him. He stays in the house every day, it’s annoying.” Simon said with a frown.“Divorce? Then do it quickly. I strongly request my sister to divorce him!”Xynthia had gotten a little excited.“Huh
“Right! I almost forgot about it this year!“Let’s go, we’re going out for a while!”Harvey York was deep in thought before, but then he abruptly stood up.Xynthia Zimmer was showing a face full of discontent. She stared at Harvey fumingly.‘Gosh, this brother-in-law!’Harvey did not even move an inch when she nagged about it. But once she mentioned her sister, he immediately stood up.Outside the district Yvonne Xavier had prepared a Mercedes Maybach this time around.The exterior of the car looked ordinary, but it would be an entirely different world once inside.“Brother-in-law, how did you get this car? Rumors say that the car’s only custom made, you can’t even get it domestically. You’d have to import it from overseas.”Xynthia was an expert after all. It was essential for her to have basic knowledge about luxury items and cars because she was born into an upper class family.“Somebody else brought it to me, it’s not mine.” Harvey replied.Both of them got into the car
This was a part of Buckwood’s business, a tourist centre.Buckwood Tower was primarily the landmark building of Buckwood.There was a shopping centre located at a lower level of Buckwood Tower, all of the world renowned luxury items were sold there.Once they had ridden the elevator for a hundred floors and got to the top, there was the tallest revolving restaurant in Buckwood.The walls around the restaurant were all transparent, anyone could see the full expanse of Buckwood just by sitting there.Besides, all the chefs here had three Michelin stars. They all had a high worth, their cooking skills were extraordinary.It would easily cost more than thousands of dollars just for a meal here.Most importantly, people would need to make appointments to eat here. Ordinary people could not even book a spot there.Sometimes, the official website would be open for appointments, the seats would all be fully booked within a minute.People that dine here were some of the most wealthy bu
Naturally, the waiters thought that both of them wanted to dine here.Harvey York shook his head.“I don’t have a reservation, I’m not here to dine either.“I’d like to reserve the entire restaurant for the day after tomorrow.”Xynthia Zimmer’s body trembled, she looked at Harvey like she was in love.‘My brother-in-law is so handsome. No, he is so grand!‘He could book a place like this without even asking for the price!’“Sir, you may not know about our restaurant policies. You need to have an online reservation a month prior to be able to have a spot in the restaurant, and we do not provide charter services,” the waiter explained patiently.Harvey frowned and said, “Do you not understand me? I need the entire place for the day after tomorrow.”At that moment, Harvey was wearing cheap store-bought goods. He did not look like a wealthy person at all.The waiters sized him up and their expressions changed.“Sir, this isn’t a place for you to cause a ruckus! Do you know how m
Harry Zapata and his family, was a third-class family in Buckwood.The Zapata family relied on establishing restaurants to survive. When their business froze over a few years ago, they had gotten new investments from Harvey York.Then the Zapata family was secretly siding with Harvey after that and dealt with quite a few other competitors in the same industry.Now, they had almost no competitors when they stood at the top of the food industry in Buckwood.After Prince York had recently made a strong return, and the Zapata family had offered more than half of the shares. They also had rebranded their business under Sky Corporation’s name.But they were only holding the shares in Sky Corporation, it did not affect the business of the Zapata family.The assets of the Zapata family were only mediocre after all, Sky Corporation could not be bothered about it at that moment.But with the support of the powerhouse like Sky Corporation, the Zapata family were as powerful as them. Thus,
Noticing the change in Harvey’s expression, Xynthia, who knew how scary he could be when angered, quickly mediated the situation and hurriedly said, “It’s okay. It was just a few words, so let’s ignore them.”“Don’t forget, we’re here to make a reservation.”Xynthia shifted her gaze to Harry Zapata. “Senior, we wish to reserve the whole place the day after tomorrow. Do you think it’s possible?”Although she herself was full of anger, she held it in because of her brother-in-law.Harry sized Xynthia up and snickered. “No. Our rule is guests must make reservations at least a month earlier. Plus, we don’t allow anyone to book the entire place.”Harvey cut in, “You’ll allow if I say so. I’ll give you a hundred and fifty million dollars to let us book the whole place.”Harry cackled loudly. “Seems you’re pretty loaded, huh?”He spat on the ground and added, “But I don’t need that filthy money of yours!”“Keep your eyes open wide! From now onwards our restaurant will have an extra ru
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
