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
“This place is quite good. It’s excellent for health and wellness. Living here for a long time will have an adjuvant treatment effect on various chronic diseases.”“Young lady, is the villa here expensive? If it’s cheap, I’ll buy one too!”Oskar Armstrong offered with a smile.Mandy responded quickly, saying, “Senior Armstrong, we have just launched ten villas with special offers here. You can take a look. The prices are all very favorable!”“If you can decide today, I’ll give you a great discount!”Mandy understood that, given Oskar’s character, he would never accept it if you gave him a villa for free.At this moment Oskar was like any other elderly, choosing and looking at the options with great care.. He then finally chose a medium-sized villa with excellent feng shui. “Then, I want this one.”Mandy took a look. She gritted her teeth and said, “The price of this villa is 8.96 million dollars. If you want, I can wipe out the fraction for you. I’ll also cover the management fe
Harvey glanced at the antique Rolex watch on his wrist and frowned.“That won’t do. It’s almost time for Senior Armstrong’s appointment, so I have to get him to his location as soon as I can.”In truth, Harvey was only looking for an excuse.He already felt quite ashamed to have Senior Oskar Armstrong inspect Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project’s construction site.To actually bring Senior Armstrong to the Yateses’ main residence?In all honesty, to Harvey, the Yates family meant nothing. If it weren’t for Mandy, the Yateses wouldn’t even have the right to look at Harvey in the eye.Some time later, Harvey quietly sent Senior Armstrong away. A shame the old man was not someone who could stand idly by. Although Harvey had arranged for Senior Armstrong to get a check-up at the Sword Camp site, the latter still headed over to Buckwood People’s Hospital all by himself. He did not call for a specialist, opting instead for a regular doctor that cost him only a dollar.When news
"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."
