Xynthia said it righteously, but in truth, she had other thoughts.This was a rare opportunity for her to get close to her brother-in-law.Harvey felt there was something wrong with Xynthia’s statement, but since she said it was for her studies, then he had to help her out.He had no choice. He’d taken great pains to make this sister-in-law of his study hard.Seeing the two holding hands and leaning to each other… Many of Xynthia’s admirers saw it. They were so angry, they were about to vomit blood!“That Xynthia looks so pure and innocent. She’s actually in love with an old uncle?!”“No. I’m against it!”“Come on, what right do you have to say that? Who do you think you are?!”Many boys were furious, but they only dared to curse from afar and didn’t say anything else.Soon, Xynthia brought Harvey to the canteen.The two of them ate at a corner. They didn’t expect to still receive a lot of attention despite doing so. Many continued to stare at them.Harvey was speechless.
Harvey looked at Mason, a faint smile slowly appearing on his face.No wonder Xynthia wanted to act out a scene with him. There were quite a lot of pests around.And the attitude of said pest in front of them right now was putting him in a terrible mood.If it were any ordinary pursuer, at most Harvey would’ve just observed from the sidelines. If he took a liking to the person, he might even lend a hand. But this brat was displaying the attitude of an aggressive playboy. Harvey had no intention to make his sister-in-law fall into the hands of such a person. Harvey hadn’t finished talking before an enraged Xynthia intervened, shouting, “Mason Warner! I already told you clearly that we’re not meant to be!”“What right do you have to butt in my business?!”“Right?”Mason chuckled.“I represent everything in Buckwood University. Whoever that I demand to be my girlfriend has to be my girlfriend!”“That’s the rule in Buckwood University. Don’t you get it?”“All the students here
“Senior Dwayne!”Upon seeing the newcomer, Xynthia politely greeted him.Dwayne Haris was also a student at Buckwood University. He was in his fourth year, and rarely stayed on campus.He was also another one of Xynthia’s pursuers, though he appeared to be more personable.“Is Mason giving you a hard time again?”Dwayne wasn’t there to witness what had just transpired, but he immediately approached Xynthia with a smile.To him, the more trouble Mason gave Xynthia, the more chances he would get to save the damsel in distress.Dwayne glared at Mason and frowned, saying, “Mister Warner, didn’t I already warn you? Stop harassing Xynthia!”“This is none of your business!”Mason yelled, though his expression had worsened slightly.He knew who Dwayne was. Even though Dwayne’s family was not that rich, Dwayne’s father worked for the Buckwood government, so his status was quite high.Unless Mason really had to, he didn’t want to provoke Dwayne.“What did you say?”Dwayne’s face dar
Dwayne Haris and Mason Warner were both very influential figures in Buckwood University. Word about their fight quickly spread, attracting quite a lot of curious students. Mason bore a wretched expression, but Dwayne was indifferent and even had the time to give a friendly wave to the girls around him.He was the president of the Taekwondo association in Buckwood University and had a black belt under his name. Along with his handsome looks, he had garnered quite a lot of fan girls.Dwayne was in truth delighted by Mason’s attitude today.He believed that if he could beat up Mason, Xynthia would know which man to choose.Dwayne stretched out a hand and hooked his index finger in a mocking gesture, challenging Mason to approach him.Mason let out a cold laugh before throwing a basketball furiously at Dwayne.However, Dwayne raised his leg and kicked the basketball away.But right after he landed his kick, Mason was already rushing toward him and attacked him with a hard slap to
Harvey had no intention to brawl with children.Mason was acting as if he was the king of the world. But in Harvey’s eyes, he was only a brat.How could Harvey have the slightest interest?He was only willing to talk because he hoped that Mason would stop harassing Xynthia.Normally speaking, forget a rich heir of Regency Enterprise, even the university dean had no right to speak to him.However, Mason found Harvey’s words to be a great humiliation. He pointed an angry finger at Harvey and screamed, “Who do you think you are to tell me to apologize?!”“I’m warning you! I’m on to you!”“I want Xynthia, and I’m gonna sleep with her tonight! Not only that, I’ll make you kneel and watch from the side!”Mason’s posse revealed wretched, perverted expressions at his exclamation. Naturally, it wasn’t their first time doing something like that.But Mason’s words drove Harvey into rage.He couldn't even bear to tease his own sister-in-law that way.But these bracts actually dared
“What’s the matter?”“He’s been sent to the emergency room?!”The initially calm and peaceful Jacob’s expression changed instantly. He stood up, furious.“CEO Warner, are you alright?” Mandy asked.Jacob replied with a frown, “CEO Zimmer, I’m afraid we’ll have to postpone the negotiations for a few days.”“My son was beaten up badly on campus and was sent to the hospital. The perpetrator wasn’t found, either. I have to go take a look.”“My son can’t possibly be beaten up for nothing now, can he?”Mandy held the collaboration between their two companies in high regard. Listening to Jacob, she said, “Then I shall accompany CEO Warner to visit as well.”“Alright.”Soon, the two arrived at the hospital.Jacob’s face twisted into a vicious expression when he saw Mason pushed out of the emergency room, covered in plaster casts.“Who did this to you?! Didn’t you tell them that you’re the heir of Regency Enterprise?!”Jacob’s face was filled with murderous intent.“Father, I told
“Hurt?”On the other side of the phone, Harvey had already forgotten about the affair with Mason.When Mandy questioned him, he suddenly remembered.“I didn’t beat up anybody. I only sparred with a kid.”“Sparred?”Mandy was livid.“You tell me that it’s only sparring when you hospitalized the heir of Regency Enterprise?!”“I’m telling you right now! You’re in big trouble!”Mandy hung up angrily.She took a deep breath and calmed down soon after, and then bowed to Jacob. “CEO Warner, this whole incident is our fault!”“I’m willing to pay one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for your son’s to compensate for your son’s emotional assault, along with the medical fees.”“Regarding our collaboration, my company is willing to give ten percent of our shares to express my apologies.”But Mandy’s words only made Jacob laugh coldly. “Money? You really think Regency Enterprise is short on money?”Mandy frowned.“Then why don’t you make your request, CEO Warner? We’ll do everything
At the Yateses’ residence. Jacob dropped by for a visit, bringing hefty gifts with him. His face bore a horrid expression. “Sir Yates, is South Light’s business climate already this bad?”“People could go on and cripple their competitor’s child just to win a negotiation?”At this, Keith Yates’s expression changed. “Who’s acting so presumptuously?!”“South Light’s business climate has always been fair and square! Whoever’s causing a ruckus like that is only making life difficult for themselves!”“Didn’t you tell your opponent that I’m the one supporting you behind the scenes?”Jacob sighed and replied, “Sir Yates, perhaps your influence isn’t so great after all.”“My son Mason already brought up your name, but someone still had the audacity to break his ribs. He’s in the hospital right now, barely hanging on!”“What?!”Keith stood up furiously, his expression horrible.Because of the previous incident, the connections that belonged to the Yateses had decreased by thirty perce
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
Harvey stood behind Clarion as he looked at all these men and women in their luxurious outfits. Other than the heirs of the large families from Grand City, Harvey could not really tell how powerful they were. Harvey even noticed quite a few mutant elites from Country A. All of them gathered together and all the topics they discussed about were extremely sophisticated, making them feel that they were the most important individuals in this world.Other than these people, she saw a woman wearing purple traditional garb in the middle of the group. She could not tell the woman's age, but her figure was slender and curvaceous. She carried an esteemed imposition. Or perhaps, it was better to describe her imposition as queen-like.She held an exquisite hookah in her hand that was made from gold. She would sometimes take a puff before blowing out a stream of smoke, as if she were some kind of empress.Quite a few men would glance at her before averting their eyes, as if they were too afraid
Every word Clarion heard from Jade made his expression turn even darker. When she finished, Clarion almost wanted to stomp on the woman even as he suppressed his anger. Just when Clarion was going to slap Jade in the face as she deserved, Neve stopped him.Neve then took a golden card from her Hermes handbag and gave it to Jade. "I have a member card. This is the card your madam gave to me when the Platinum Casino was first established. I believe you will accept this."Neve never paid much attention to the card when she first received it and simply kept it in her handbag. She did not expect it to have some use today. "This is one out of the fifty member cards the casino gave out at the beginning. I was told it gives me the highest privilege. You won't deny this, will you?"While Neve was smiling, her words were cold and harsh. "If you won't, then I can assume the Platinum Casino has a problem with the Fosters of the Universal Sect. I will then report this to my grandfather."Clario
The woman was beaming at Clarion and said, "Everyone knows who you are in Grand City, sir. My name is Jade Bierstadt, and I'm your biggest fan. Although I'm a fan, I still need to obey the rules here. It will be bad for society if everyone can simply break the rules, right?"In other words, it's not because I have something against you. But it's because I have no choice as this is my duty. Since I'm making a living here, I need to perform my duties to earn my salary, correct? So, please forgive us and show us workers some mercy. But if you must ignore the rules here, then I'm afraid I'll have no choice…"And then, Jade gently clapped her hands. A group of men-in-black slowly walked out of the VIP passage after that. There were also some clicking sounds from the high ground some distance away, as several men started to parade their sniper rifles.The Platinum Casino had truly demonstrated their superiority today.Harvey narrowed his eyes. He had quickly determined that whether it wa
