Mandy Zimmer could speculate only what actually happened, but she did not say a word.Harvey York then said calmly, “I didn’t let them do anything. They said that they wanted to come here to kneel and apologize.”He was not entirely bluffing.It was James Surrey and Ryan Gotti that was adamant about expressing their apology the day before.They were already touched as if they were blessed by the Gods when Harvey let them here.Mandy let out a sigh at this moment.“Harvey, you have to properly thank Prince York if you ever get a chance to meet him. If not, you might not even be back here alive yesterday.“And you have to consider the consequences of the things you do. Don’t mess around anymore.“You were lucky this time that Prince York helped you out with this situation, but it might not happen next time.”Harvey was speechless after hearing Mandy’s words.Simon Zimmer then gasped.“Mandy, you’re saying that Prince York was the one that helped solve the big crisis this time?
Mandy Zimmer did not know why Lilian Yates would ask about this, but she still nodded and replied, “Yeah! She’s back. Currently, she’s a general manager for a company in San Francisco!”“Halsey’s so talented!”Lilian was showing an expression full of admiration.“You should call and ask her to come to hang out in Buckwood. I’ll treat her to a meal when she gets here!”After her speech, she then left with utmost content.She knew that she could not convince Mandy anymore, but Halsey Lowe might have a different case.If she were to convince Mandy successfully, she would have no problems enjoying wealth and glory in the future!Without a second thought, Lilian disdained Harvey York more than before.She glared at Harvey without even greeting him when she left.When Lilian and Simon had left, Mandy then apologized, “Harvey, don’t put this to heart. Mother’s always been like this.”Harvey smiled and replied, “I’m used to it.”He wanted to explain the situation about Prince York b
At the Black Tea Diner.The Olden Trade’s most high-end dining place, it was said that a meal there would cost about ten thousand dollars.Ordinary people did not even have the right to pass by the diner, not to mention dining in the place.Yvonne Xavier and the handsome man walked into the Black Tea Diner at that moment. Harvey York then followed in hastily while frowning.Harvey saw Yvonne in the middle of the big hall when he came to the entrance.It was apparent that the whole diner had been booked. The hall was decorated as if it was a palace.Not far from Yvonne, there was an elderly woman with silver hair. There were a few middle-aged men along with a few younger women.The handsome man who came with Yvonne bowed in front of the elderly woman and stood on the side.The crowd’s gaze all landed on Yvonne Xavier. Some were as cold as ice. Others were looking at her with disdain.Harvey frowned. If he looked at it this way, the man seemed like he was not Yvonne Xavier’s boy
Yvonne Xavier tilted her head up after a moment of dead silence to look at Jesse Xavier.“Cousin Jesse, I’m not marrying anyone.”Jesse chuckled, not saying another word.Ivan Xavier then exclaimed, “Yvonne, you don’t have the right to speak in front of our great grandmother!”“You’re but a collateral relative. You’re already lucky enough that the prince of the Leo family isn’t disgusted by you. What right do you have to give him the cold shoulder?” Rita Lawson scolded Yvonne with an expression as cold as ice.Yvonne coldly glared back at her aunt.“Aunty, I’ll decide what happens to my own body. None of your opinions matter.”Slap!Rita Lawson walked up toward her and gave her a slap across her face, then exclaimed furiously, “How presumptuous! I can’t believe you’re this disobedient! Are you not even going to listen to what our great grandmother has to say?”After Yvonne was slapped, Harvey York, that was standing at the entrance, could not bear to see the sight any longer.
“Mom, this has nothing to do with him. Just let him go.”Yvonne Xavier subconsciously stood in front of Harvey York at this moment, not wanting him to be hurt.The middle-aged woman that Yvonne called her mom was none other than Iona Sherman, Yvonne’s stepmother.After her father passed away, Iona Sherman was her closest relative in public.She furiously scolded Yvonne, “You spoiled goods. You still call me your mom?“What? Your heart broke when I hit your lover?“Don’t be shameless like your father, not knowing courtesy and shame, outside looking for women every day!”Iona then shifted her cold gaze back toward Harvey after her speech, then said coldly, “A so-called prince like you only dares to take cover behind a woman? You’re just as useless as the legends say that you are!”Harvey looked deeply into Iona’s eyes, then covered Yvonne behind his back and quietly whispered, “It’s fine. I can handle things like this.”After seeing Yvonne and Harvey as if they were lovers, Iona
Harvey York did not sit down.Jesse Xavier did not mind at all but sipped on his tea without a care for the world.“Grandma Xavier’s always been like this. She wouldn’t even care about anybody that she isn’t interested in.“As for Yvonne, she was a granddaughter that Grandma Xavier really adored before. But because of you, she became a laughing stock in all of Wolsing’s upper social circle. You tell me, how are you going to pay for this?”Harvey frowned.“I have nothing to do with her, we…”Before Harvey York could even finish his sentence, Jesse let out a puff of air.“Harvey, we’re all men here. Should I be more blunt with this?”“Secretary this, secretary that. If there’s something up, the secretary does it. If there’s none, do the secretary. I’m not the one that made this up.”Harvey was utterly speechless after hearing his words.He was definitely taking the blame for this, no matter what.Yvonne Xavier opened her mouth, but she ultimately could not say a word.Jesse X
“Yvonne, I already told you. Harvey’s ambition is terrifyingly big.“A man like this will never be subdued under another.“If you choose him, you’ll live a life full of pain and suffering.”Sheldon Xavier let out a sigh. He admired Harvey York because of his true identity.Even though the Xaviers from Wolsing did not look up to his status as Prince, they would try their best to avoid conflict with the man if his other identity was revealed.But Sheldon did not once hope that his own granddaughter is involved with Harvey.“Listen to your grandfather. You should be picking Chris Leo. Or maybe you looked up to another person, even if it’s a beggar. If you say the word, I can make him into a man.”“I’ll allow anyone but him!”Yvonne then coldly replied, “Grandfather, don’t forget our promise before. Are you saying all these things to try to break the promise now?”After seeing Yvonne’s stubborn look, Sheldon then let out another sigh.“Right, the fifteen-day promise isn’t far awa
Sky Corporation, CEO’s office.The CEO’s office felt a bit empty due to Yvonne’s absence.The office desk, which was clean before, was covered with documents that had piled up like a mountain.Seeing this, Harvey couldn’t help but smile bitterly.He never took notice of his habit of making Yvonne do all the work while doing nothing himself in the past, and how much of his work Yvonne had done for him. Staring at Yvonne’s desk, Harvey muttered to himself, “Don’t worry. No one in this world can force you to do anything.”“Not the Leos of Hong Kong…”“Nor the Xaviers from Wolsing.”About half an hour later, the sound of knocking came on the CEO’s office door. Ray Hart entered respectfully.“Have you checked thoroughly?” Harvey asked.Ray answered seriously, “Prince, I’ve investigated the matter. But because we assigned someone else to check this, our identities might get exposed.”“It’s alright, pass me the documents.” Harvey said casually.The moment Harvey assigned Ray to s
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."
There were two men in extravagant yet classical outfits in the helicopter. Then, one of the men who were a little paler got out of the helicopter. The other man simply showed his face in the shadows of the helicopter's cabin.The man with the pale face gave Harvey a smile and bowed to him from a distance. His etiquette was perfect, and he was remarkably well-mannered.Then, he gave Harvey a gentle smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Harvey. Your reputation precedes you. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the persons in charge of the Sky Plane Admin Board. I'm Fujihara Kenta, a member of the Island Nation's ruling royal family. I'm also Daichi's younger brother. My brother has just given me a call saying that he's waiting for you at Grand City's Paradise Island Restaurant. He hoped that you could deliver the Chapter of Ascension as promised."Harvey's expression turned cold. After signaling Clarion to hold their positions and to protect Mandy, then he walked over and narrowed his eyes.
Mandy looked a little shaken in the smoke, but after she had regained her composure, there was a hint of calmness in her eyes. But the moment she saw Harvey, there was no hiding her joy.The two of them looked at each other. It seemed like it had been a very long time since they last met each other, especially after such a struggle.After hesitating a little, Mandy said breathlessly, "Harvey, you…"And then, she could not continue after that. From being husband and wife, and arriving at this point in time. All she could say was that this was fate. Mandy did not even know how to face Harvey anymore. She was worried that it was all a dream, a dream that she had while she was dying. And once she awakened, she would once again be pulled back into a reality of despair.Once she was sure that it was not a dream, she suddenly cried. "Harvey, it really is you…""I'm sorry. I was a little late. I should have come sooner," said Harvey as he walked over and held Mandy in his arms. He was fee
After Sora had said his piece to Harvey, he immediately roared, "Scram! All of you, move aside! That way, I can consider letting you all live! Otherwise, none of you can leave Sky Plane alive!"Slap!Harvey was not letting Sora have his way. Instead, he slapped Sora's face to the point where he fell to the ground. "Do you think you have the right to order me around?"Sora crawled back up and angrily yelled, "You dare to touch me, you fool?!"Slap!Harvey gave another slap. "So what if I touch you? You think I can't? Come now. Tell me who's the one behind all this?"Sora coldly replied, "There's no one else except me!"Slap!Harvey delivered another slap. "You? It's not that I'm trying to underestimate you, but someone with your brain can't think of such a scheme. Not only did someone leak out information to me, having Sverker to wait for me, even you are here to humiliate my woman. And you tell me there's no one else pulling the strings?"Harvey's expression turned cold. "I'm
All the Origin Sword Style elites only had horror-streaked faces when they saw Sora standing face to face with Harvey. They did not dare to make any move at all. There was no question about it. Harvey's decisiveness and calmness had already filled their hearts with terror to the point that Harvey's gaze were enough to make the elites shudder and fall on their knees.When faced with someone so powerful like Magnus, they had already lost the faith to make any attacks.Harvey looked at Sora, whose face was pale. With a smile, he said, "Do you want my woman to undress?"Sora's eyes twitched as he instinctively wanted to retreat. But in the end, he managed to compose himself. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Impossible! How can you be alive? Sverker went to stop you together with 500 Origin Sword Style elites! It was enough to kill multiple True Warriors! How is it possible that you're appearing before me unharmed!" Sora was almost screaming in the end. There was despair and regret in
