At the same time… At the gate of Buckwood Airport, a Porsche finally found a parking space.Mandy stepped out of the car. She couldn’t help but feel a little nervous as she surveyed the situation before her.“Father, Mother… Are we really going to invite Senior Oskar Armstrong?” Mandy was a little hesitant.Lilian Yates and Simon Zimmer had urged her to go to the airport after seeing the news stating that Senior Oskar Armstrong was coming to Buckwood this very morning.Lilian smiled. “My dear daughter, your company is constructing the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort. Seeing the progress, I think it could be sold to the public in one or two months, right?”Mandy thought for a while and said, “It’s almost done.”Lilian clapped her hands and said, “That’s why! Don’t you think you should start thinking about sales now? Before, I thought about where to find an ambassador for you. But now, isn’t there already an existing one here?”“What do you mean?” Mandy didn’t understand.“Senior
Meanwhile… Nearly a thousand people gathered outside the VIP passage of Buckwood International Airport, and the number was still increasing.All of them were cramming into the exit area, regardless of whether they were qualified or not. Everyone was planning to try their luck.At this moment, news from someone inside the airport was announced.Oskar Armstrong’s private plane had landed, and he would be out soon.Chris Leo and others were solemn and determined. They stared at the exit with anticipation.Harvey moved to the edge of the milling crowd, refusing to squeeze in with others.Seeing this, many people sneered.It seemed that the live-in son-in-law still knew where he stood. He knew he couldn’t invite Senior Oskar Armstrong.However, this was to be expected. With Chris Leo here, who could possibly have the eligibility to compete against him?About three minutes later, several people walked out of the VIP passage.The first to appear was none other than Senior Oskar Ar
Oskar Armstrong actually rejected Chris Leo, and didn’t seem to be too concerned about being morally blackmailed.Chris’s face turned pale. He knew it was too late to say anything anymore.Senior Oskar Armstrong might have a bad impression towards the Leos due to the moral blackmailing that Chris committed.“Senior Armstrong, I’m the first secretary of the South Light Government. Elder Xavier would like to invite you to have lunch with him and give us some suggestions on our medical system in South Light.”Sheldon did not show up. Instead, his first secretary came over and called Oskar.“Help me thank Elder Xavier, but I have a few students who work in the South Light Government. I’m afraid there’ll be suspicion of practicing jobbery if I simply have meals with any officials. I hope Elder Xavier wouldn’t mind.”Oskar chuckled, rejecting Sheldon. Next, all the representatives from big families stepped forward to invite him.Everyone came up with various reasons, but ultimately
Seeing Mandy verbally abused until her face grew pale and her body turned shaky…Lilian couldn’t bear it anymore. She was initially a shameless shrew, so she stomped out, pointed around, and cursed, “Who do you think you’re shouting at?”“Our family’s inviting Senior Armstrong. It’s none of your business!”“Have you forgotten my daughter’s identity? She’s a woman who dared to reject Prince York!”“Who among you here can have the privilege to refuse Prince York?”“My daughter coming out to invite Senior Armstrong to visit the project site is her way of giving him face! Don’t you understand?”Lilian folded her arms. She then looked at Senior Oskar Armstrong and said, “Senior Armstrong, you should have heard of Prince York, right? My daughter can be regarded as his unofficial wife. Even if you don’t give my daughter face, you’ll at least show some respect to Prince York, right?”Boos were heard from all around after Lilian said these words.Oskar also had a strange expression.Ma
Everyone’s gazes grew cold.This family was certainly bold.The man dared to threaten the Leo family from Hong Kong.The woman dared to block Oskar Armstrong’s way.Now, this live-in son-in-law who didn’t know where he stood was blocking Senior Armstrong’s way. What did he intend to do?Keith couldn’t hold it in anymore. He pointed at Harvey and cursed, “Harvey, you fool! What are you going to do? Where’s security? Take him away quickly and don’t let him harass Senior Armstrong!”Others also spoke up.“Enough, both of you! Senior Armstrong’s time is precious. If everyone does the same thing as you and has the guts to block Senior Armstrong’s way, then what would Senior Armstrong feel?”“Hurry up and get out! If you dare to stop Senior Armstrong again, don’t blame us when we get rough with you!”Harvey ignored them. Instead, he smiled at Senior Armstrong and said, “You’re Senior Oskar Armstrong, right?”“I’m the taxi driver you called. Your ride is outside.”Oskar took a deep
It took Mandy a long while before she could react. She stammered, “Harvey, don’t mess around! Sending the old man to the destination is the most important thing. If his affairs were delayed because of you, can you afford the consequences?”Harvey smiled. “Honey, don’t be afraid. I already told him when he called for my ride that I’ll send him to his destination within today. Anyway, he only paid two dollars. So, how fast did he expect to get there?”Mandy was speechless, but what Harvey said was right.How many places were you going to take Senior Armstrong to?The people around glared at Harvey. Chris Leo even came over and shouted, “Harvey, stop wasting Senior Armstrong’s time! I’ll send him!”“No.” Harvey said indifferently.“Why not?! Chris was about to vomit blood.“If Senior Armstrong’s gone, who will pay for my ride-hailing bill? Do you think I don’t need gas when I drive my car to the airport?” Harvey said righteously.“Fine, so you just want money! This money is enough
Meanwhile, Mandy rushed to the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort’s construction site, as if she was driving a plane. She made many calls along the way and arranged various tasks.Regardless of how Harvey got this order, since he was bringing Senior Oskar Armstrong to the construction site, this was a golden opportunity for Silver Nimbus Enterprise.Simon and Lilian, who were sitting in the back, didn’t know what expression they should show as they looked at their daughter’s busy appearance.Who would have thought that things would develop like this today?A live-in son-in-law who was completely unrelated to Senior Oskar Armstrong was actually taking him wandering around.Everything felt so unreal.Soon, Mandy arrived at the construction site.The construction company and all the employees were all ready.Everyone cleaned up the venue and prepared to welcome Senior Oskar Armstrong with the highest courtesy.***At the same time… The small broken van was still driving slowly on t
Oskar Armstrong smiled again. “I’m an old man. I won’t meddle in young people’s affairs.”“But since you want to bring me to the construction site to help advertise and endorse it, you have to promise me one thing.”Harvey smiled. “Anything you need, Senior Armstrong.”Oskar said, “It’s very simple. I just need you to attend the Defences Exchange Ceremony of the South Light Military Region as the Chief Instructor.”“Why?!”Oskar replied solemnly, “Although the five powerful nations have been defeated by you, I heard that the Island Nation, the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, and America still didn’t learn their lesson.”“The great Country H’s principle has always been “never attack unless attacked”, but these clowns keep bouncing around. It’s disgusting.”“You, the Chief Instructor, are the myth of the military. These people only dare to come out and mess around because you have retired.”“But as long as you show up on a semi-public occasion and say a few words, then it’s en
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
