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
Jacob smiled slyly at seeing how agitated the Yateses had become. Prior to this, he had run some investigations and discovered that Mandy Zimmer was actually the granddaughter-in-law of the Yates family.However, as he was unsure of her relationship with the Yateses, he needed to say all those things to get information out of the Yateses.Now, he understood that the Yates family did not welcome Mandy Zimmer and Harvey York. It was safe to say that the Yateses loathed the couple!Since that was the case, Jacob could go on conducting his business unscrupulously.He could even use the Yateses against Mandy Zimmer, since they were supporting him. He could force Mandy to submit to him!Keith fell in deep thought.“Tell Finn to come back home.”Soon, Finn Yates arrived home.He was already the third-in-command of Buckwood Police Station. His current position was a deputy inspector.He was considered to be an outstanding man despite his young age.“Finn, go look for Harvey York
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
"All of us were ready to commit suicide for the 50 million A dollars!""We even sold out our country, meaning we could never return to the Island Nations!""You either give us all the money back, or we'll never stop hounding you for it!" All the Islanders were extremely furious.In truth, the Islanders who were paragons of unity and love were ordinary people in the end and could be swayed by profit. Without the money, they wouldn't have given such a performance.Linus couldn't help but shudder when he saw all the Islanders looking at him with murderous intent, as if a pack of wolves were glaring at him, with the intent to kill. "Stop making such wild accusations!" he cried. "While I really did pay to tell you to work, all I did was give you 10,000 dollars! And that's not A dollars, but H dollars. As for paying all of you 50 million dollars per person… Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm willing to pay so much just so you'll frame Yvonne? Why don't you consider if you're w
The phones of all the Islanders who were willing to commit suicide started to vibrate. All the Islanders who were in their righteous fury took out their phones. When they saw the content on the screen, they roared—they were so angry that they almost went mad.They instantly got up from the ground, their eyes bloodshot. All of them glared at Linus, as if wanting to tear him apart. The reporters and spectators were a little shocked, and instinctively took a few steps back. It was obvious that they felt a murderous intent.Before anyone could react, Nomura waved his hand. All the Islanders surrounded Linus and his men. Linus frowned slightly. "What do you all want?""Fools!" Nomura immediately aimed his longsword at Linus. "Don't you people from Country A call yourself a civilized world? That obeying the contract is important to you? Why did you suddenly break the contract when we've done everything you asked us to do?"The other Islanders all looked at Linus with a murderous expres
Linus wore a victor's smile. The reason he looked for Tojo Nomura earlier was to accuse Yvonne and the Xavier family on the spot, to make sure they would be accused of being traitors.He didn't expect a little money to be enough to make them act. Good, good. All he could say was that no matter how powerful or barbaric the Islanders were, they were nothing before the great people of country A. Not to mention, he had already given them their rewards. Even if he didn't, the Islanders still had to act as he ordered.Yvonne frowned. Of course, she knew that nothing the Islanders said was true—merely defamation. The problem was that she couldn't understand why someone like Nomura, who was a disciple of Shinto Way, had to make up such lies.The moment that thought crossed her mind, Yvonne looked coldly at Linus and said, "Just how much did you give them to the point they're willing to sell their country?""Tsk! You think that's enough to scare me?" Linus smiled wryly. "Everybody knows h
Very quickly, many Islanders ran to the stage. All of them were wearing the Islanders' traditional summer garb. The way they stood and the way they lifted their beard made them easily identifiable as Islanders.According to how unified Islanders were, everything they said would most likely be true.When Linus saw what was happening, sat down and folded his legs. His sexy secretary helped him light up a cigar. He took a deep breath, then looked at the unfolding scene with interest.Very quickly, the Islander leading the men took a step forward and said angrily, "Everyone! I'm Shinto Way's disciple, Tojo Nomura. I'm also the leader of the disciples still in Country H. "A few days ago, the Xaviers of Wolsing requested a marriage with our Young Master, Shingen. They have also signed a lot of contracts with us. Some of them include how Shinto Way will transfer the shares of our assets in Country H to them, while they will have to transfer ownership of their business on the Island Natio
When Yvonne saw Linus pulling out things they shouldn't and even giving them to the reporters, she instantly realized that he cared little about the consequences anymore.What he did was to ensure the Xaviers were blamed for everything. Even if he gained nothing from it, he still wanted to do it just so the Xaviers would have a hard time in Country H. He even wanted to use this to make both Country H and the Island Nation to force them to publicly deal with Shingen's death.Harvey, who caused all of this, would be in a lot of trouble. Yvonne looked at Linus coldly. "Linus, you know that taking things out of context and making up stories won't be beneficial to you. Where's your conscience?""Conscience? What's that?" Linus said with an exaggerated expression. "I'm not the one who killed Shingen. It's you Xaviers of Wolsing and the prospective son-in-law you wanted. Are you afraid others will find out? I'm just someone who knew the truth with a righteous heart!"I can't bear to see
The faces of Yvonne and the others from the Xaviers all shifted a little. It was obvious they didn't expect an Islander to appear. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at all of this coldly.Journi, who was a little bit surprised, turned to Harvey subconsciously. "What's going on?""We're simply giving the full package. The most difficult part of all of this was to explain why the Islanders would give up. Rather than waiting for others to expose the truth, why don't we give everyone the truth?" Harvey said calmly."What do you mean?" Journi said with a frown. "Simple. While these people are Islanders, they'll work for money. In this situation, the words of an Islander are more effective than the words of a hundred people from Country H…"Journi was curious about what Harvey wanted to do, but then some of the reporters realized what was happening. "Are these allegations from the Islanders true? Did you really assassinate Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, who wanted to improve the relationship
