“Since you’re the one who suggested leaving the Zimmers, you have to do as you said!”“Come, bring in the contract!”At Zack’s order, a contract that was already prepared was handed over.The contents of the contract were simple. Mandy Zimmer and her family had to leave the Zimmers once and for all, taking nothing with them.From that day onward, forty-nine percent of the stocks and assets owned by the Zimmers in the company had anything to do with Mandy Zimmer and her family.Mandy must also relieve herself from the position of CEO.When she finished reading the contract, Mandy’s face turned as white as a sheet of paper.Simon Zimmer’s body started to sway uncontrollably.Lilian fell to the ground, paralyzed from anger.“Zack, Quinn! You ungrateful wretches!”“You’ve been preparing! You did this intentionally!”Zack replied coldly, “So what if it’s intentional? Today, I’ll give your family two choices!”“Number one: sign the contract!”“Number two: wear the servant outfit
“Right! For old times’ sake, I’ll take a few pictures for you to expand your chances.”Harvey York replied coldly, “Pictures of you being servants?”Quinn’s eyes twitched. She paused, and then hissed icily, “You think I’d care about some nonsense from a homeless dog?”Harvey couldn’t care less about these people. He picked up a copy of the contract and turned toward Mandy.“Dear, let’s go.”After Mandy and her family exited the Zimmer Household, Lilian grabbed Harvey York’s collar and shouted at him.“Harvey! What right do you have to sign the contract in our place?!”“Do you feel better if everyone begs for food like you?!”Harvey York comforted her, “Rest assured. With Mandy around, you can still enjoy wealth and glory.”Simon Zimmer exhaled sharply.“Harvey, can you not be so naive? We relied on the Zimmers for Mandy to succeed!”“What can we still rely on now that we’ve left the Zimmers and Mandy’s lost her position of CEO?”Harvey York replied with a laugh, “Dad, you’r
“From today onward, the Zimmers will enter the threshold of a first-rated family!”“Everyone, please come by the Zimmers’ for drinks tonight…!”The wealthy were cunning. When they heard this, they burst into loud congratulations. They even brought their entire families to congratulate Quinn and the rest of the Zimmers.Everyone was busy admiring them.They all knew about Prince York’s proposal.They were filled with jealousy and admiration as they looked at Quinn, the undoubted protagonist of the show. This was the equivalent of achieving the highest rank with the least work and effortlessly reaching the top!Under these circumstances, the scene was extremely crowded as if they were celebrities going out of their homes.Yet, just as the Zimmers neared the Lexuses… All of the cars turned around and left.“What happened?!”“Tell them to stop!”“Didn’t they see their bride isn’t even in the car yet?!”The Zimmers were all shocked beyond belief. After a brief moment, they sn
Originally, they wanted to use Mandy Zimmer’s identity to enter the ceremony.Yet as soon as they had gotten out of the car, someone handed them an invitation card?What was going on?Mandy looked at Harvey, perplexed. “You didn’t plan this, did you?”Harvey York frowned. He did not ask for anyone to hand them an invitation.But he simply shook his head and said, “It wasn’t me. Besides, we wouldn’t need one to enter anyway.”Simon and Lilian looked at Harvey with exhilaration before, but at what he said, they exhaled sharply. ‘Of course!’‘Just say that it wasn’t you and stop spouting nonsense!’“Heh, of course it wasn’t this filth.”A burst of laughter echoed at that moment.A chubby man with big ears got out of a Mercedes Benz and walked towards the family.Seeing him, Mandy frowned instantly. He wasn’t just anyone. He was the man that Felix Howard introduced to her before, Stanley Robbins from the Robbins family.“This is…”Lilian Yates’ eyes lit up after knowing th
“From today onward, your family’s problems are my family’s problems!”“The Robbins family may be just a first-rated family, but even the top rated families would have to think twice before crossing us!”“Now, let us attend this grand ceremony!”“But…there’s only three spots in the invitation. I’m afraid the beggar might not have the right to be inside.”Stanley pointed at Harvey York, then hugged his own arms as if he had won a battle.Lilian said coldly, “He’s just some filth. He acted on his own, signing the paper and dragging the whole family down with him!”“We should let people like him rot all by himself! No need to bat him an eye!”“Mandy! Let’s go, we should head inside!”Simon and Lilian looked like they were ready to ditch Harvey.The sight made Mandy frown even more deeply. “Father, mother. You can go if you want to. I’m not going, I’m staying with Harvey.”Stanley then smiled and said, “Mrs. Zimmer, I know that you have the heart of a saint. You won’t leave that
Some moments later, Mandy murmured in a disappointed tone, “Let’s just go home.”She didn’t expect Harvey would still talk big after things had gotten to this point. He wasn’t grounded to reality at all.Initially Mandy pitied him, but now she only felt disappointment. How was it that her live-in husband was incapable of anything except boasting?Harvey, however, looked at the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard behind him and said, “We can’t leave yet. Mom and dad will need us later.”Mandy cupped her face and let out a huge sigh.“Harvey…where did you get all your confidence from?”“What are you planning now? Are you going to ask for help from Ms. Xavier again?”“You do realize you can't ask her for favors all the time, right?”“And have you ever thought about me when you go looking for another woman the moment you get into trouble?”“Don’t you think I’ll be ashamed?”“Oh, whatever! Fine, let’s wait here since you said that Father and Mother would be in trouble soon.”On the o
If Mandy would just compare Stanley to Harvey, she could easily come to a decision.Simon then said, “Actually, we’ve been thinking of kicking Harvey out of our family!”“It’s been three whole years since they’re married. Their marriage has always lacked substance!”“For a long time, all sorts of mishaps stopped them from divorcing! It’s such a shame.”“But this time, I won’t let it go that easily!”Stanley was at ease after hearing this.His reasons for wanting to marry Mandy wasn’t just because of her good looks. He also wanted to be acquainted with the Yateses.It was true that in terms of power, the Yates family might be the weakest out of Buckwood’s five first-rated families.However, the fact remained that they were a family of government officials.For Stanley, his rank in the eyes of the other Robbins would surely rise if he could become a grandson-in-law of the Yates family.This was the prime reason behind his determination. As the three were busy laughing and gos
The three were completely surrounded.One of the guards placed a hand on the hilt of the sword hanging on his waist, as if he was facing an enemy.“Since you dare fake an invitation, I will assume you have ulterior motives. You’ll be sent to the authorities later!”Feeling the murderous intent emanating from the guards, Stanley and the others could barely control their bowels. It looked as though these men were close to unsheathing their blades.Stanley, who was born with a silver spoon, had never faced a scenario like this.He immediately gave in.“It’s my fault, it’s my fault! We’ll leave immediately!”The guard could only laugh humorlessly.“Leave? This is the site of Prince York’s engagement ceremony! Obviously, the security here is of the highest level!”“You handed over a fake invitation and caused a huge ruckus. Now you’re trying to escape? I have to question your actual goal!”“Let me be frank. All of us here are soldiers from the Sword Camp. Lieutenant Colonel Ethan
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
