The reality was, Simon and Lilian had the lowest ranking out of everyone in the Yates family.Needless to say, Keith Yates was South Light’s third-in-command. He had a high status and immense power.His son was about to be the deputy inspector of Buckwood Police Station, a young and promising man.As for Tanya Yates, she was establishing her own business. Although it wasn’t anything major, she would earn thousands of dollars per year.Leyton Luv, on the other hand, was the vice president of Buckwood Bank. He, too, had immense power and high status. In fact, countless people constantly sought his help.Compared to them all, Simon and Lilian were nothing. They were but a bunch of clowns.Mandy Zimmer was able to make a good impression before, but she ultimately failed because of Harvey York.Right now, Simon and Lilian were ashamed beyond belief.Suddenly, sounds rang from outside the hall door.A few middle-aged men walked in with big steps. The man at the very front wore a smi
The crowd went wild after hearing this and started to gossip frantically.Finn Yates’ identity was already so extraordinary. How much better would someone he personally praised be?A bewildered guest asked, “Didn’t the Yates family say that Finn is the most talented young man in his generation? Is there another brother-in-law that’s just as capable?”“How could it be possible for a granddaughter of the Yateses family to marry an ordinary person? No matter what, she’d definitely pick a wealthy and powerful man, right?”The crowds’ gazes shifted around, finally landing on Harvey York. At the sight of him, they began to tremble.“This man, his mannerisms…!”The Zimmers, who were in the crowd, all looked terribly anxious. When they heard the gossip, they exchanged glances and burst into quiet chuckles. Quinn Zimmer covered her mouth as she laughed. “Grandfather, now I finally know why the Yateses looked up to Mandy and her family!”“Harvey must have boasted up a storm!”“The Yate
At this very moment, Mandy Zimmer’s face had lost all color. She had no idea that word had spread this far.She didn’t know how to reply to Finn’s remark. When she finally came to her senses and was about to take a step forward to correct the misunderstanding, Harvey York suddenly cut her off.“Brother-in-law, I am indeed Prince York.”To Harvey York, it was fine if the Yates family knew of his true identity. He could even take a peek at their reactions.Hiss!The crowd sucked in a sharp breath of air right there and then.‘Is this man really Prince York?’‘He’s the man who controlled the Yorks and built a million-dollar company on his own!’‘The Yates family are about to be filthy rich!’Right now, Finn had no other thoughts.“Oh, good brother-in-law! The Yates family is in your hands! In the future, we will need you to support all of us!”Keith Yates had a profound look in his eyes.If the man in front of him really was Prince York, then the Yatese family should really
Slap!Under the crowds’ dumbfounded gaze, Grandma Yates swung her cane against Harvey’s back.After hitting him, she spat icily, “It’s important to know your own limitations! Aren’t you aware of your own abilities?”She then jabbed her cane in front of Simon and Lilian.“Properly discipline your live-in son-in-law! How is it that he cannot comprehend when to talk and when not to?”“If you don’t know how to teach him properly, then take him out here and leave!”“My birthday banquet is supposed to be a happy one, not a circus where a clown can act like an insane person!”Her words were too heavy.Simon and Lilian were dumbfounded. They could only bow their heads down and stay silent.Lilian had tears dripping down her face.This was her family!She dreamt of coming back to her family full of grace.Yet now that she returned, she was forced to endure shame of this magnitude!Right now, she wanted to hang herself.Embarrassing!How could she be able to raise her head up high
How shameful!Before, Lilian thought that she had already lived a shameful life in the Zimmer family.She didn’t think she could surpass the humiliation she felt today!Even Simon Zimmer was grinding on his teeth.They were here to get closer to the Yates family. Even if they could not bathe in the Yateses’ limelight, they could at least build some connections.But what happened in the end? Other than getting utterly humiliated, what did they gain?“Leave! You’ve embarrassed the whole Yates family!” Finn shouted, unable to hold himself back. “This is just outrageous!” “You can embarrass yourselves all you want, but don’t drag my father and grandmother into this!”“You all may not resent being shamed, but the family cannot lose face!”Finn remarked bitterly, resentful that Simon’s family did not meet his expectations. Simon and Lilian had no choice. They could only hang their heads low as they retreated from the hall.Mandy Zimmer and Xynthia Zimmer were about to leave as w
“Let’s hurry and get to the front. It’s almost our turn!”Simon and Lilian hurried to the front of the hall shamelessly, hoping for the moment for a counterattack.They began to imagine a scene where Grandma Yates smiled from ear to ear when she received their gift.“Up next is a pair of antique porcelain vases with a history that spans five hundred years! These were made out of official kilns during ancient times, and were extremely valuable. If someone were to collect the pair, the value would skyrocket!”The host continued reading out the list.Tanya Yates and Leyton Luv stood up, and respectfully congratulated Grandma Yates.“We wish you to have fortune that spreads across the seas and live as long as the mountains!”Grandma Yates wore a wide smile that could not be covered. She signalled the host to bring the pair of vases in front of her. She took a long look at them, nodding approvingly. “Oh, Tanya! You’re too sweet!”“Of course! I’ll do anything to satisfy you.” Tany
“You!”Grandma Yates trembled with fury.‘Why did Mandy Zimmer and her family give me a molding mudball?! Are they mocking me for still being alive at this age?!”“Sister, you don’t have to give Grandma Yates anything if you don’t want to! If you don’t have the money, anything would be better than this. Even just fruits will do!”Tanya Yates was speechless.In the beginning, she wanted to help her sister and put in some good words for Lilian.But Grandma Yates was already trembling in anger, and Tanya dared not provoke the old woman any further.Lilian Yates wanted to slam her head on the floor very badly.Things would still be fine if she and her husband didn’t walk up in front.But they did, and they became the center of attention in the entire hall… and then gave something like this!Embarrassing!Not only to her mother’s side of the family, but also to Buckwood. No, the entire South Light!‘I shouldn’t have come!’‘It’s all Harvey’s fault!’‘This man’s always doing mo
Mandy looked at Harvey and walked toward him, breathless. She exclaimed quietly, “Harvey, what are you trying to do?”“What can you do even if you keep staring at the gift box?”“A flower isn’t going to suddenly pop out just by you looking at it, right?”Harvey York frowned and replied, “You don’t understand. Master Naiswell gave me this before. It must be valuable!”Mandy Zimmer chuckled.‘Who do you think Master Naiswell is?’‘Alright, let’s say that the man looks up to you since you know how to appraise antiques.’‘But saying that he was the one who gave you this, who are you kidding?’The gift giving ceremony continued.Even Alex Swift and the others prepared their gifts.Of course, their gifts weren’t as extravagant as the rest, being only ordinary calligraphy and paintings of the sort.Still, they were all government officials. For them to attend the banquet was already the best gift they could offer. Grandma Yates would not dare to ask for anything more from them.Th
"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
