As expected from Halsey who had just returned from studying overseas, to have an impressive mouth on her. If it were any other person, they would be talked down by her to the point of utter embarrassment.But Harvey, who was already used to such words, did not feel a thing.Harvey glanced at Halsey through the rear-view mirror and asked full of curiosity, “What if I like being kept?”“Then I’ll finish you off myself,” Halsey coldly replied.Harvey shrugged.“Miss, are you studying the art of killing from abroad? Is killing me the first thing that you thought of? This is a federalist society!”“No need to smooth talk me. Soon, I’ll get you a big heap of money to leave Mandy alone.”“Rest assured, the money should be enough to last until you die happy!”“If you’re willing to leave Mandy, we can talk about the price.” Halsey continued icily.Harvey was speechless.“Miss, why do you keep talking about my and Mandy’s divorce? Can’t you be a bit more peaceful and friendly?”“The
The car swiftly drove down the streets of San Francisco in silence. The two soon reached the shopping center and stopped at the building of Sky Corporation’s San Francisco branch.The place that Halsey wanted to go was none other than this place.“I’ll leave my luggage with you for now, I’ll contact you again at night.”“Another thing. Hurry up and return the car already. The fees for today will be on me.”As she spoke, she threw a stack of money from her purse to Harvey.To her, the Bentley was rented by Harvey. Since that was the case, she would pay for him.She also generously gave a little more than the rent for Harvey’s hard work.It was safe to say that despite being prideful and fierce, Halsey still had some compassion left in her.Unfortunately, she was also treating Harvey like a servant.Out of respect for her admiration for Prince York, Harvey decided to be the better man and let her be.At that moment, Ray Hart gave a call.“Sir York, have you arrived at the San
They had to admit that Halsey Lowe was indeed very capable.Even though Harvey’s questions, which Ray asked, were really insightful, Halsey managed to answer them one by one.It was safe to say that she came prepared.Before she came here, she already decided that she wanted to be the general manager of the San Francisco branch.When the interview ended, Harvey knocked on the desk and immediately called Ray’s phone.“Tell her she’s been accepted.”Ray froze, but he soon replied, “Of course!”He did not have a stance of his own in front of Harvey. He only served Harvey.After putting the phone down, Ray flashed Halsey a smile.“Congratulations, Miss Lowe. I’ve just received a call from my CEO.”“He said that you’re very suitable for the position of general manager in our San Francisco branch. You can handle some of the procedures for today, and you’ll be able to oversee the businesses of the entire corporation from tomorrow onward.”“I hope we’ll get along together.”“What?!
Harvey was now certain of Halsey’s personality.He was indifferent at that moment, so he casually threw the money into the car’s armrest box.Halsey could not help but show a hint of disdain in her eyes after seeing that.She thought that she had judged Harvey correctly.She thought that the filth felt like he could get more money from her, which was why he was being attentive while having no other reason to do so!How could a man like this possibly be a good fit for Mandy Zimmer?Harvey did not forget to playfully tease Halsey and asked, “Are you here for business? Is it going smoothly? Don’t forget about me when you get rich!”Halsey rolled her eyes after hearing his nonchalant question.“Do you know what this place is?”“Isn’t it written on the building? It’s the San Francisco branch of Sky Corporation,” Harvey replied.“It’s a good thing that you know, because you should. After integrating all of the Yorks’ assets, this company is now the top corporation in all of South L
Halsey gave up on eating in the end. She only ordered a cup of coffee and started to sip on it.“You’re already full?”Harvey was curious.Halsey nodded, her face dark.She saw Harvey grabbing all the food in front of him and munching rudely on them.When Harvey was about done eating, Halsey then said icily, “Harvey, our ancestors have a saying: table manners meets character.”“I don’t even need to see your other behaviors to know that you’re a selfish person, and that you have absolutely no shame!”“If I guessed correctly, Mandy’s also paying for the rent of the house you two are living in, right?”Naturally, Halsey knew about the situation of Mandy living in The Gardens Residence.Harvey nodded.“Yeah. She’s paying for property tax, too!”“You! How shameless can a man like you even get?! How are you even fit for Mandy?!”Halsey was now shaking in anger.“Then what kind of man do you think is a fit for her?” Harvey asked.Halsey gave a humph when Harvey asked her that vi
After a brief moment of pondering, Harvey ultimately decided to stop Halsey’s way of thinking.He then seriously said, “Halsey, from what I know, Prince York isn’t that kind of playboy. It won’t work even if you get closer to him.”“Besides, he already has someone that he likes.”“Since you have a job already, do it properly.”“Stop thinking nonsense.”Halsey almost spat out her coffee after hearing Harvey saying all that with such a serious look.‘Does this man not understand the situation?’‘Not only is he useless, he even spits at other people’s good fortune!’Without a second thought, Halsey furiously replied, “The relationship between Prince York and I is none of your business!”Harvey sighed.“Halsey, do you really want me to say it bluntly?”“I’m not into you.”Pfffft!Halsey almost coughed out blood at that. She ground her teeth, shivering in anger.“Are you saying you’re the head coach and Prince York himself?”“Both,” Harvey said seriously.“You!”Halsey did
On the other side of the phone, Mandy was silent for a moment before declining Halsey’s offer.“Halsey, I know you’re doing this for my own good. But I’m already married to Harvey for more than three years. I’m already attached to him, so I don’t want a divorce.”“You…”Halsey did not know what to say at that moment. Her good friend must have been brainwashed by Harvey, right?If that was the case, Halsey needed to think of ideas that involved Harvey and incite him into asking for a divorce.Halsey could only gnash on her teeth. She marched back into the restaurant to look for Harvey.However, he had already left.…University of San Francisco.One of the ten most known universities in the country. Rumors said that the school spirit there was excellent. The university students were all public figures from Mordu and San Francisco.Harvey did not see anything special about the university while taking a stroll inside. He felt the place lacked in people and instead had a lot of m
“You…”“How shameless!”Halsey almost bit through her tongue. She couldn’t believe that a shameless man like this existed!And to think he actually had such thoughts about his wife’s good friend!Men like this shouldn’t exist!Harvey then calmly added, “See, you can’t even fulfil a simple condition like that. I don’t think we need to talk about it further.”Harvey wasn’t teasing Halsey. Instead, he wanted to see how close of a relationship she shared with Mandy.Halsey’s face had lost all color after hearing his words. She gnashed her teeth. “Fine! I’ll allow it!”“But you have to promise me that you’ll divorce Mandy right after, and you’re not allowed to harass her!”“And, you have to pretend like nothing ever happened between us!”“I’ll give you another hundred and fifty million dollars as compensation!”Halsey spoke in the manner of a fierce CEO.Harvey froze after listening to her exclaiming such words with an unyielding expression.The woman’s relationship with Mand
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
"The joy's of youth," said Isoroku with a sigh of admiration. "To be young means to be fearless. It also means that there is no respect, and there is ignorance just how difficult it is for something to be overcome. When I'm in a good and chatty mood, you're attempting to anger me. You think that it's your power that makes me pause when I'm the one who's bestowing you this opportunity. You're simply too naive."Harvey calmly replied, "So you want to use your age to force me to respect you. Don't you understand that it's always out with the old and in with the new? If you don't, you'll really get thrown out one day."While the two of them were calmly exchanging words, the truth was from the moment they met each other, they were already clashing against each other. "Looks like there's nothing more to say."Isoroku sighed and slowly pointed the edge of his blade at Harvey. "I will now kill everyone close to you first before slicing your limbs. I'll make you die as you scream in pain."
Harvey was already making quite a concession. When he left with Sora, he was already prepared to kill him once he had arrived at his destination. But since Isoroku came knocking, he did not mind giving Sora up since he was not that important anyway."You're so confident, Harvey. So full of vigor. However, you forgot that in this condition, you're not in a place to negotiate," said Isoroku coldly. "Even if someone's going to come up with the conditions, that person will be me."Let's see now… Release that disappointing son of mine, and then leave your woman behind. Then, you will personally maim the limbs of your own men and then yourself. Only then will I allow you to leave on your knees. How does that sound?" It was clear Isoroku thought little of Harvey in the end."I'm not in the business of making life difficult for unimportant people like you. But since the Origin Sword Style has lost so many people, I need to get something back for them as their Predecessor, correct?"Then, H
"I've already heard your name even before you step foot in Grand City. That's because the Six Schools are all connected to the Origin Sword Style. By defeating all Six Schools alone, you have disrespected me," explained Isoroku, as if he was in the mood for a chat."What's more, you even killed my beloved student Sverker and even took down my worthless son? If it isn't because my source is very well trusted, I couldn't even believe it. For you to reach this level of power at this age, it's beyond amazing. Perhaps it's true when they say that the youths should never be underestimated!" Isoroku said with a sigh of admiration.Dozens of elites stepped out from the other military helicopters. They were probably Isoroku's personal students. All of them looked at Harvey with suspicion and shock. All of them knew how powerful Sverker was, that was why they found it even harder to believe that Harvey could defeat Sverker.Even if they put Sverker's defeat on one side, Sora was accompanied b
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
