Harvey then continued to question the auction house."Everyone in this world knows if there's one thing that's true about the auction houses…"Is that the highest bidder wins."If I can bid 300 million dollars, then I can bid up to 450 million dollars, and even 600 million dollars!"But the Wolsing Auction House immediately stopped me from making my bid and gave the auction item to Antonio."And now, you’re saying I'm making trouble?"And you're talking about rules?"What rules?"Once this news spreads out, we'll see how much reputation the Wolsing Auction House retains."To make it plainly, you're sacrificing the consignor's benefits so you can please the people from Country J."Backed by a top ten family? I spit on you."If the other top families know that they're being put together with traitorous scumbags such as yourself, they'll be so disgusted that they won't be able to eat for months!"Harvey didn't show any sign of stopping at all as he said all his words clearly,
"Ha…"At this time, Hector's cold laugh came from the VIP room. He looked like someone sitting on the top of the mountain looking down at the critters down below."Are you threatening my family using the Country H Commercial Group? How naive!"Seeing that you do have some ability and how you demand the truth, as well as for Ms. Mandy's sake… I will give you an explanation."There was a sneer in Hector's voice, but he was also making it sounded like doing this was beneath him."First of all, according to the news that I've received, the reason you're here tonight is so you could cause trouble for Antonio. You just want to upset him."You don't like the Seal of the Monarch at all, because you're simply here to start a commotion."I also have my reasons to suspect that you don't have that much money, anyway."If the bid defaulted because of you, I would rather fix the bidding price at the agreed value and settle it then and there."Secondly, I personally found this seal from a fl
Harvey looked at this name strangely. He couldn't understand why Mandy would appear together with Hector.But for Mandy to give himself a missed call at this critical juncture… Was it a warning? Or a plea to calm down?When the thought crossed his mind, Harvey stopped having the desire to continue causing a ruckus.The main reason he was here was to give these Country H Commercial Group's nepo babies a lesson.Seeing that they had learned enough today, he supposed he had time to observe.As for Hector… Well, there was no rush.As he finished processing his thought, Harvey gave Zhuri and the others a glance and said, "Fine. I'm doing this for your sake."Let's go."When Zhuri and the others heard his words, they all slightly sighed in relief.As for the others… They originally just wanted to watch a show. But when it came to shows, there was a point the climax should cool down. It would be best if someone take a step back.If the two sides really do start to fight, then they
"The Sutra of Nourishment is a technique that used to be very popular back in our country's history."According to the legends, the so-called Hermeticism that was practiced back in pre-Romulus Dynasty is this."However, our people lost the knowledge of it around the year 200. We have only unearthed it recently from the tomb of an ancient king. And this is the original artifact."According to the experts that the Thompson family has invited from the Sacred Martial Art Training Ground, the Sutra of Nourishment isn't a Martial Art technique and can't transform one into an elite…"But its benefit stems from the fact that anyone can learn it even without any foundation."Once one has mastered it, not only can it strengthen one physically, it can even extend one's life."One of the seneschals serving the Thompson family had already personally learned it. It's very effective and despite his advanced age, his hair is starting to turn black."According to our appraisal, those who have ma
In simpler terms, the so-called climax of the auction had become nothing but a joke.If Hector allowed the auction to continue, whoever that had bid for the Sutra of Nourishment would instantly find out that he was the world's greatest fool once he compared the content in the scroll and what Harvey had recited.If that happened, the reputation of the Wolsing Auction House would truly be ruined!Not only that, no matter how powerful the Sutra of Nourishment was, once those people knew the content, it would lose its original value.What was the point of having an ancient scroll other than treating it as an antique?Harvey knew after what he did, it would make Hector fall into a state of anxiety. He would also damage Wolsing Auction house's reputation greatly.That was why he chose to leave immediately.Half an hour later, Kartier and the others immediately sent Harvey back to the five-star hotel that he was staying in.After sending him back, Kartier and the others all disappeare
"What if I do?" Harvey said to Mandy, intentionally making a disdainful expression."You're so petty for a man," Mandy said. She glanced at him, as if she looked down on him. She gave him a look, but there seemed to be a slight passion in her eyes as well as a hint of helplessness.However, he had hidden her powerlessness deeply and no one had noticed it.She walked over and sat down opposite of him. Only after she took a sip of the tea did Mandy tilted her head. "One more thing. I've already reminded you with a call not to act too rashly. Why did you choose to cross Hector in the end?"Do you know just how much influence the Thompsons has in Wolsing?"Harvey said, "I never wanted to start anything with him. He's the one that wants to start a fight with me from the very beginning."I'm buying a seal and he stopped me. Then, he told me that he's the rules and the law."What? Can't I protect my own right as a consumer?"Mandy sighed. "No matter what has happened, the Star Fin
When Mandy heard what Harvey said, she couldn't help but gasp.If Harvey did that, not only was he looking for a fight with Hector, he was going to utterly humiliate the Thompson family.When the thought crossed Mandy's mind, she quickly held Harvey's hand and whispered, "Harvey, please listen to me."You can't do this! Please don’t be so rash!"You can't act as rashly!"The Thompson of Wolsing… Or it's better if I put it this way, the top families in Wolsing who are part of the top ten families all act as one."While they look like they are rivals of each other during normal days, but as soon as they encounter an outside enemy, they will all come together and deal with it as one."You have crossed Hector, which means you have crossed the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, including the one who leads the four top families, the Wright family."Few in this country… No, in this world, can face their combined might if it comes to that!"At the very least, now is not the time to fight
"What should we do now, Harvey?"Mandy was just right next to Harvey, so she heard what had just happened."Should I arrange a private jet for you? Otherwise, you won't be able to leave if we wait until tomorrow.""Leave? Why should I?" Harvey said with a shrug."While I am interested in the Seal of the Monarch, I'm not interested in it to the point of robbing someone else for it."If I leave now, it means I'm complicit in the crime."I'm thankful for everything you're willing to do for me, Mandy, but I suggest you should leave now. Because if I'm right, this place is going to become very chaotic very soon."-Next morning, there were few people in the five-star hotel. A lot of guests who were staying in the hotel had been pre-informed about something, and knew what would happen next.Aside from a few waiters preparing the buffet breakfast, even the tough security guards weren't allowed."Harvey York, get your arse out here!"The waiter who Harvey had asked to prepare his pa
"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
