After hearing Amelia Garza’s ridicule along with everyone else toward Harvey York, Mandy Zimmer was boiling with anger.She then gave a slight smile and said, “Alright. If you say so, Amelia!”In the middle of her speech, she immediately went toward the counter in the store.Amelia’s head turned numb while she observed Mandy’s actions.All of the limited edition items were there, and the cheapest ones cost thousands of dollars while the most expensive ones would cost at least a hundred thousand dollars.Amelia would not dare to look at the items there usually.But Mandy actually just went there casually?This good-for-nothing woman, how dare she be this greedy?!Amelia gritted her teeth while walking toward the counter.She almost passed out when she saw Mandy signaled the clerk to take the most expensive bag.“Mandy, you went too far! This is a limited edition bag. There are only five hundred of them in the entire world. It’s worth around three hundred thousand!” Amelia wa
The sight shocked everyone from within the store.‘The price of the limited edition bag is actually three hundred thousand dollars. Who was it that said to give Mandy Zimmer the bag so casually?’Amelia Garza and Felix Howard unconsciously turned back to look.When they saw who it was, their faces had lost all color.Ray Hart?!Why was he here?!Autumn Reyes bragged about him being Felix Howard’s friend in the morning. How could they still round the lie when the man himself had shown up?Mandy and the others had known about him because of the news in the morning. They all recognized him immediately.But Mandy was stunned. Why would Ray Hart even give him anything?Maybe she saw right after all, that Harvey York was the young man in the picture.She had her speculations before, but she ultimately thought that it was impossible.But Ray Hart had shown up so suddenly as if he was proving her speculations to be correct.Without a second thought, her gaze shifted toward Harvey.
Mandy Zimmer smiled after Ray Hart had left.“Aunty Reyes, Amelia. You’ve met a nice man today that did not care much about this, don’t do it next time.”Amelia Garza and her family disdained her for a whole day. She barely had a chance to retaliate.Amelia’s face was as dark as night as she gritted her teeth.“Mandy, my husband’s still a thousand times better than your filth of a husband even if he isn’t Ray Hart’s friend!”Mandy replied calmly, “Oh really? At least my husband wouldn’t get exposed in front of other people like that.”“You…”Amelia was trembling with anger.Lilian Yates came out to alleviate the situation at that moment.“Alright, alright. We’re all family here, there’s nothing to fight about. Are we just going to make fools out of ourselves?”Mandy stopped saying another word after hearing this. Harvey York, on the other hand, was looking at Lilian.Clearly, she was on Autumn Reyes’ side.It seemed like those people were deliberately plotting against him.
Before Mandy realized it, Amelia had already snatched away the item from her hands with a devious cackle. “Sister Mandy, it’s not something embarrassing to show others. Why are you so persistent about opening it only when you get back home?”“Or are you afraid that the gift would be so cheap that it’s embarrassing?”“Amelia! Don’t you think you’re being a bit too much right now?”Mandy’s face turned slightly icy. This was a present from Harvey to her. How could Amelia snatch it away just like that?Amelia didn’t realize how rude she was acting. Her face carried a look of disdain as she replied, “Mandy, how could you say that? I’m doing this for your own good!”“I’m just worried if your good-for-nothing husband simply picked something worthless and tricked you! What if it’s some old version from a few years back that’s only three hundred dollars after a fifty-percent discount? You’d have to ask him to pick another gift for you!”While Amelia talked, she began to unpack the wrapper
“Are all of you here blind? How can none of you realize that a bag as expensive as this got switched?”The moment she stepped inside the shop, Amelia spoke up loudly in a high and mighty manner. The shopkeepers were confused. The shop manager then walked up to her immediately and asked, “Miss, I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you’re implying here.”“What I’m implying? Take a look at this yourself! What he bought, but what he actually took away!” Amelia yelled, pointing at Harvey behind her.The shop manager studied Amelia with an odd look. She then shifted her gaze at Harvey, and automatically sunk into a slight bow.“What’s wrong? This customer did buy this bag.”The respect written across the shop manager’s face didn’t seem fake.She hadn’t even finished counting the number of zeroes left in Harvey’s card.“How is that possible? Open your dog eyes wide and look properly! How could he have bought this bag?!”Amelia grew somewhat panicked.She wanted to embarrass Harvey
“Piece of trash! What are you trying to do again?”Amelia Garza questioned with a dirty look.“Don’t tell me that you’re saying that you’ll buy another gift for Mandy now that we’re back here?”“Alright! Buy it, then! If you’re capable enough, buy all of the bags in this shop!”“If you can do that, I’m even willing to kneel down right before you with my head on the floor!”Right now, Amelia felt incredibly arrogant. To her, Harvey buying a bag that cost nearly three hundred thousand dollars was more than enough.How would it be possible for him to buy all the bags in the shop?That would cost at least a few hundred thousand dollars, wouldn’t it?“Your words,” Harvey chuckled and turned to Mandy Zimmer. “Remember to jot them down.”So saying, Harvey turned to the shop manager. “Pack up everything in this shop for me, please.”The shop manager, who was viewing the drama before her, became dumbfounded. Did he really want everything?“Sir…you’re not joking right?” The shop manag
Lilian Yates regained her composure and instantly added, “Mandy, how many times have I said this? You can’t waste money like that if you do have some! You should know clearly where the money came from as well!”“If it’s borrowed, you must let Harvey sign the agreement stating he would pay the loan by himself, and that it has nothing to do with us!”At Lilian’s words, Autumn Reyes and her family’s faces brightened up.‘Borrowing money to pretend you’re rich. Let’s see how you’re going to pay it back later on!’Mandy threw an odd look at Harvey.She didn’t know where Harvey’s money came from, but she didn’t believe that he borrowed it.After all, money wasn’t something that fell off the sky! It’s impossible for a person to loan another an amount as big as one million and a half!Even if Harvey did borrow the money, he would need time for that as well. Yet he never made any calls before. Mandy replied slowly, all the while holding back her curiosity. “Mom, Auntie Reyes, I never i
Originally, based on what kind of person Harvey was, he would definitely make Amelia fulfil her promise.But now that Mandy Zimmer told him to let the matter go, then he would let it go. In the end, it was just a small matter.“Don’t want to go shopping anymore. Let’s head home!’Amelia’s face was dark, her expression as hard as steel. She didn’t even want to look at Harvey and Mandy, and turned to leave begrudgingly.Autumn sneered and said, “Mandy, your husband doesn’t have any manners. If you still wish to be cousins with us, you better leave him as soon as possible!”With that, she left as well.Felix Howard wanted to say something, but at seeing how calm and composed Harvey York was, he couldn’t speak.Everything Harvey did today made Felix feel that Harvey certainly wasn’t someone ordinary, but Felix still couldn’t guess how extraordinary Harvey could be.Unless Felix was certain of Harvey’s status, he didn’t want to offend Harvey any longer.Soon, he left too.Only aft
"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."
