Harvey York casually pushed Wallace Shawn away. He then kicked open the door of the VIP lounge. His eyes fell on the two preening Country J men, and he said coldly, “Were you the ones who hit her and smashed the bowls? Not only that, you even asked Xynthia to accompany you drinking?”The two Country J men stood up abruptly at seeing Harvey.“Yeah, that’s us. So what? Does scum like you want payback?”These two Country J men did not speak fluent English, but they glared at Harvey with eyes that were full of disdain.Apparently, they felt superior.“Kneel and apologize.” Harvey ordered. “I can spare you only once.” “Apologize? Impossible!”“We are distinguished guests. How can we apologize to the inferior?”“But you, you can kneel and apologize to us instead!”These two Country J men were very arrogant. They certainly didn’t have Harvey and Xynthia in their sights at the moment.In their opinion, these two inferiors were not qualified to talk to them.“Where’s the security? W
Wallace Shawn felt a buzz in his mind. He was a little confused.Filled with disbelief, he could only make nonsensical “uh, uh, uh” sounds in his throat.He subconsciously looked at Harvey. It seemed that Harvey was the one who made the call a few moments ago.It turned out that his chairman really did come and fired him in less than five minutes.Just as Wallace finally came to a realization and wanted to protest, Shane Naiswell sent him a backhand slap in the face. “Go away! I don’t need to listen to any explanations! I’ve understood the matter thoroughly!”“Wait!”Harvey suddenly spoke.Wallace smiled joyfully. Could it be that this man felt that the punishment was too heavy and wanted to intercede for him?As soon as Wallace thought of this, he kept bowing and began to ramble on before Harvey could even speak. “Please, Sir! I beg you, have mercy! Much obliged, Sir!”Harvey ignored Wallace’s blubbering. Instead, he pointed at the two idiots who were still kneeling on the gr
“Young Master York, I apologize for what happened just now. Take the 1.5 million dollars as compensation for this young lady.” Shane Naiswell smiled, handing a check to Xynthia Zimmer.Xynthia glanced at Harvey, but did not reach out her hand.Harvey said indifferently, “Take it. You deserve it. If you refuse to take it, I’m afraid Master Naiswell won’t be able to sleep tonight.”Xynthia nodded and accepted the check.The staff who followed Shane were all dumbfounded.Who was this man?He treated and talked to Shane Naiswell as though Shane was just your average Joe.Most importantly, Shane did not refute the words he spoke.What was that supposed to mean?This was a clear indication that his status was certainly higher than Shane Naiswell.In front of him, Shane held a station equivalent to that of a younger brother!The staff had followed Shane for many years, and had seen the ways of the outside world.However, at the moment, they couldn’t recall if there was a young man
In the Zimmer family.Since Mandy Zimmer’s Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project was flourishing, she now held sway among the Zimmers and they took her words seriously. Besides, the Silva family was no longer. Zack Zimmer could not find a new backer in such a short time. Thus, no one in the Zimmer family was giving Mandy any problems. Everything was in order.On this day, an invitation letter was sent to the Zimmer family by a man in a suit.In the Zimmer Villa, Senior Zimmer studied the contents of the invitation letter. He said excitedly, “Hurry! Hurry up, call Simon and his family here!”Soon, Simon Zimmer and his family came, including Harvey York.Senior Zimmer took out the invitation letter and said with a smile, “Simon, Lilian!”“Look at this! It’s an invitation from the Yates family, a first-class family in Buckwood!”“They’re inviting us Zimmers to their family’s birthday banquet!”Senior Zimmer’s gaze on Lilian Yates was a little different when he spoke.In the pas
Lilian Yates stood up at this moment. She pointed an angry finger at Zack Zimmer and exclaimed, “Stop stirring up trouble here. My sister already mentioned before that my family is allowed to join Grandma Yates’ birthday banquet!”“This invitation is clearly for us!”“Okay, okay. Stop arguing!” Senior Zimmer said indifferently.“Just look at the letterhead of the invitation card.”Then, he flipped open the invitation card with an excited look.A group of Zimmers subconsciously came over for a peek.“The Zimmer family” was written on the letterhead.Zack Zimmer laughed after seeing the three words. “See, Grandfather! What I said was right. The Yates family is surely coming after the Zimmer family, not after someone!”Senior Zimmer added with satisfaction, “Not bad. It’s exactly as Zack had said.”“The Yates family reserved ten seats for us at the birthday banquet. If it’s only for your family, then at most, they’ll just give you five seats.”In truth, Senior Zimmer did not kno
Senior Zimmer gazed deeply at Mandy Zimmer. After thinking about it, he finally said, “Mandy if you have time, go and sort out the recent carrying value and the progress of the project. Send it to me, I would like to have a look.”Mandy knew that Senior Zimmer was using this as an excuse to intervene in the affairs of the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project.However, Senior Zimmer’s request was quite reasonable. She could not refuse at all. She could only slightly nod, her expression unpleasant. Zack Zimmer glanced at Mandy with a complacent stare.‘Since Grandfather is willing to make a move and I can’t take you down today, there are still many chances in the future.’“Okay, let’s not talk about this. Let’s see who is going to attend the Yates family’s birthday banquet this time.” Senior Zimmer waved his hand. Now, it was time for him to demonstrate his authority.In truth, he did not expect this. He wondered why the Zimmer family was able to receive this invitation.Did th
At Zack Zimmer’s taunts, Harvey smiled faintly and said, “If I want to go, of course, I can go. If I don’t, no one can force me to.”Zack sneered, “You’re so good at bragging. Then you should go! If you can attend the birthday banquet, I will kneel in front of you!”Harvey laughed. “It’s not like you didn’t do that before. I’m not interested.”“You, you, you…!” Zack recalled the Antique Fair in Niumhi and his complexion worsened.Nevertheless, he took a deep breath and said, “Harvey, this is different from the past. At that time, you did a bit of power. That’s why the Naiswells invited you to the Antique Fair!”“The birthday banquet this time isn’t the same. It’s held by the Yates family, the first-class family in the provincial capital!”“The chief of the Yates family is the third-in-command in South Light!”“Such a family wouldn’t invite you just because you have a bit of ability!”“I initially thought that Mandy could be a representative of your family and attend the birthda
Lilian Yates immediately grew furious at Harvey’s remark. Glaring at him, she screamed, “Didn’t I just say it?!”“My brother is the head of the Yates family and the third-in-command in South Light!”“Are you saying that the third-in-command in South Light will personally come and send you the invitation card?”“Yes.” Harvey said indifferently, “I initially refused, but now, since Mandy wants to go, I’ll let him come.”Lilian Yates and Simon Zimmer were both enraged.They had seen people bragging, but never to such an extent.It was just, Harvey’s lies seemed so close to the truth.Lilian did not even have the mood to get angry at this moment. Instead, she glanced at Mandy and said, “Mandy, as your mother, I kindly persuade you again. This kind of liar can only talk big without doing things practically. You should have kicked him out long ago!”Simon also left, lamenting. He was destined to have a miserable life in the next half of his life for getting involved with such a worth
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
