Standing on the sidelines, Tara Lewis was unperturbed.She was only slightly dazed.Harvey’s order alone would grant her a commission of at least 1.5 million dollars.She didn’t even need to do anything, and had just simply watched the events unfold in silence.Seeing that Tara had earned one million dollars in an instant, her parents suddenly felt that Frank was very ordinary.Their daughter could earn a million in just one day. For a man who had properties of only a few million, he was completely out of her league.One in the city center, one in the suburbs, and one at the seaside… How could all these be compared with a villa that was casually bought?“Old Man Zummo, I think we should put aside our children’s affairs for now. We’ll talk about it later.”Tara’s father stood up and said ruthlessly.“Huh? No, what does that have to do with anything?”When Frank saw that Tara could easily earn a million dollars, he was even determined to win her over. However, her father’s word
Nighttime.A group of people from the Silva family led by Brent Silva came to see the Zimmers. This time, he did not give Zack Zimmer any face. His presence intimidated Senior Zimmer and the rest of the Zimmers.“Young Master Silva, what wind has blown you here? It’s already midnight…”Senior Zimmer looked at the crowd in black suits tagging along Brent, trembling. He could hardly speak.Brent’s face was cold, not a trace of gentleness in his expression.“What wind? Of course, it’s the fatal wind!” Brent snarled coldly.“Your live-in son-in-law is certainly amazing! How dare he interfere with the Silva family’s affairs?!”“Do you think that once you have Sky Corporation’s backing, the Silva family can’t do anything to you?”“I’m warning you! You better give me a clear explanation on this matter! The Silva family was the one who allowed you into Buckwood, and we can also send you back to where you came from!”“If this whole problem isn’t properly handled, forget the engagement!
“What?”“You’ve always been like this! You never care about how I feel!”“Now you have completely offended the Silva family, and they’re taking it out on the Zimmers!”“There’s absolutely no room for the Zimmers to survive in Buckwood if the Silvas are dissatisfied with us!”“Our lives might even be in danger. Are you trying to kill us all?”Mandy had already broken down in tears.Harvey wasn’t able to explain anything at all. Under these circumstances, he couldn’t say anything.“What should we do now?”Senior Zimmer had a headache.Zack Zimmer thought of an idea. “There’s only one solution now…”“Let Mandy divorce Harvey!”“Only then, the Zimmer family won’t have anything to do with him!”“That’s the only way we can save ourselves!”Quinn Zimmer and others immediately shouted their approval. “Yes! Divorce him immediately! Divorce him right now!”“Only then will everything be solved.”Although both Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates had been ostracized from the family, they s
“I’ve decided.”“To prevent the Zimmer family from getting into trouble, I’ll…”“I’ll leave the Zimmers with Harvey!”“From now on, we have nothing to do with the Zimmer family…”“I choose to face these difficulties with my husband!”Mandy took a step forward, held Harvey’s palm tightly, and stood alongside him.Harvey could not react at this moment. A brief moment passed, and a smile appeared on his face.Mandy was indeed his wife!Everyone in the Zimmer family was dumbfounded by her decision.Simon and Lilian exchanged bewildered stares. Simon yelled, “Silly daughter! What are you doing?!”“Divorce! You must divorce him!”“The opportunity has finally come!”“Your grandfather finally agreed to your divorce!”“If you don’t leave him now, are you planning to live with this burden for the rest of your life?”“You’re raised in a comfortable environment. Can you really endure that kind of hardship? That’s not a life fit for a human!”Simon was trying to persuade Mandy, with
The entire Zimmer family was furious to see that Harvey still remained boastful.“Mr. Live-in son-in-law, who do you think will believe in you? Why are you so shameless?”“Even Mandy is disappointed in you, let alone other people!”“Do you think Mandy has high hopes for you? No! She just feels sorry for you!”Senior Zimmer’s face grew colder at Harvey’s words.He looked at Harvey and Mandy, and then finally said painstakingly, “I was still hesitating! But you, a mere live-in son-in-law, still remained so arrogant even at this point!”“Do you really think that you have any worth in our family?!”“I’ve decided. I’ll drive Mandy out of the family! From now on, she will have nothing to do with the Zimmers!”“She will also step down from her position as the CEO of Silver Nimbus Enterprise for the time being. She will be completely removed after I consult with Sky Corporation!”“I’ll personally give an explanation to the Silvas and arrange a press conference for the media!”“Harvey
Back at the Gardens Residence, Harvey York smiled as he looked at the river view from the window. “Mandy, I’m lucky you believed in me.”“I don’t believe you. I also don’t think you have the ability to solve this problem.”“But… I’ll follow my husband wherever he goes. You’re my husband, so I’ll just have to live with it.”“I may not get a good ending, but I’ll just have to accept it.”Mandy replied seriously.Harvey smiled.He was looking forward to the days that would come.After all, the Silva family had a lot to explain.Late that night, Yvonne Xavier sent Harvey a message saying that the truth behind William Bell’s murder had been found.A private detective was secretly following some people, he accidentally took a video of what had happened. This video might reveal how William died.Harvey carefully turned off the light in the room when he received the message. He took the elevator to the underground garage.It was late at night. There was night dew, and the air was co
It wasn’t just evidence.Harvey wanted to know how William Bell was forced to the point of death.Who else had a part in it?!What else was involved?!All these must be investigated thoroughly.Soon, they arrived at a luxurious private manor.If Yvonne didn’t inform Harvey in advance, he wouldn’t have believed that this place was actually a private detective agency.As they approached the entrance, a security guard marched out. He then asked them to exit the car for inspection. This was the rule.Yvonne whispered, “Sir, I haven’t revealed your identity.”“Okay.” Harvey nodded, opened the car door, and walked out.A few security guards appeared, all of them ex-soldiers exuding a vaguely bloodthirsty aura. When they saw Harvey with Yvonne, a female security guard came out.The guards began their search seriously and carefully.After checking twice, Harvey and Yvonne were permitted to enter the manor. However, their car could only be parked outside.Someone led them into an
“Seventy-seven million?” Harvey smiled. “That’s a bit expensive. How would I know if the video’s worth the price?”“Geez! Brother, do you know how risky it was for me to take this video?”“Besides, I’m also giving you other evidence and materials.”“There are too many people involved, and everything’s pretty complicated. It’s not just one or two families, you know. If this video comes out to the public, I’m afraid I’ll get several major families hunting me down.”“If you take all that into consideration, seventy-seven million really isn’t that much.”George was troubled.He was hinting that not only the Silva family was involved, but other important people as well.He also had other information in hand.Harvey’s eyes turned slightly cold at George’s words.He glared at George and said icily, “You know so much, and there’s even some supporting materials. Apparently, you didn’t take the video by accident. Am I right?”“The fact you were able to record it means you had the chanc
"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
"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."
