“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
Harvey replied calmly, “Some people are just low. You can’t make them see eye to eye without beating some sense into them.”“If I didn’t do that and that boy continued harassing Xynthia, God only knows what might happen next.”“Anyway, I can’t be with Xynthia all the time either.”“That’s right! Brother-In-Law’s only trying to protect me. Please stop blaming him already.”Xynthia pulled Mandy’s hand, flashing Mandy a pitiful gaze.Mandy let out a sigh, uncertain of what to say at this moment.But the problem was Mason had been hospitalized, and reason was on his side. How could she possibly handle this matter?Mandy had no intention to accept the conditions set by the other party.However, they naturally wouldn’t give up that easily.This was certainly headache-inducing!Just then, the doorbell rang.Jacob Warner and Finn Yates were at the door, bringing along a group of inspectors with them.Jacob’s face was as cold as ice.Finn tapped the firearm on his waist and annou
“That’s right! Isn’t the student council president basically the king of the university? I think this is normal. After all, Mason does have the qualifications!”“On the other hand, you’re the shameless one! You were acting so lovey-dovey with your brother-in-law, only to be shamed into anger when you were exposed and beat Mason up!”Xynthia’s face was ugly. She turned to Dwayne. “Senior Haris, you’re willing to stand up for Mason even after he beat you to a pulp?”Dwayne replied with a shocked look, “Xynthia, can you stop twisting the truth? The man who hit me was your brother-in-law, Harvey York!”“I didn’t even want to pursue this matter any further, but you had to bring it up!”Xynthia was dumbfounded by Dwayne’s confession. She never anticipated for Dwayne to simply shift the blame toward Harvey.At this moment, Harvey understood.The collaboration between Jacob and the Yateses had already been arranged.Dwayne’s father may work for Buckwood’s government, but he was only
Finn’s words distorted Simon and his family’s faces into horrible expressions.Finn’s title as the Yates family’s prince was not for show. It was said that he had studied in the university established by the South Light General Police Department, and was the champion of the police force’s fight league a few times while he was there.Though he wasn’t the type to casually throw a punch, if he actually did so, he would surely cripple or even kill his opponent.The Yates family sending Finn Yates to aid Regency Enterprise and show up this time was enough proof that Harvey was finished!Right this moment, getting crippled seemed like an insignificant consequence. Harvey might be forced to live the later half of his life behind bars after getting crippled. A fate like that was definitely worse than death.Looking at Harvey’s icy expression, Finn assumed Harvey was frightened. Finn approached Harvey and gave Harvey a light slap on the cheek. His face was filled with ridicule.“Since
Twelve o’clock midnight, at the Emperor Clubhouse.This place was property of Regency Enterprise, and was closed for the night.Finn Yates had already left with the benefits provided by Jacob.The way they saw it, they only needed to scare the Zimmers a bit to deal with them. There was no need for Finn to actually show up.Soon, Harvey arrived.“What? Only the live-in son-in-law came?”“No matter, I’ll sleep with his woman after crushing all of his limbs!”Jacob spoke without mercy. He knew how to torture a man’s soul and drive that man into a life worse than death.When Harvey entered, a dozen security guards immediately surrounded him. Someone swiftly locked all of the windows and doors in the building, preventing him from leaving and from any sounds or shouts to leak out.Nobody expected for Harvey to stride in without a care in the world, take a seat before Jacob, and pour himself a glass of red wine.His calm expression stunned Jacob. Jacob had only seen this kind of
In that instant, all the elites from Origin Fist could only gasp. They didn't know how to react when they saw what happened. Normally, once Harvey gave Kuro the chance to turn the table around, Kuro should have the advantage.But the result?Kuro was being stepped on, and he didn't even have the power to resist. Before Harvey's strength, he was just too weak."Not only can't you fight, but you're also making me very disappointed," Harvey said as he squatted and patted Kuro's face. It was a simple action, but it was enough to humiliate Kuro completely."Stop wasting time here, kid. I acknowledge that I've been careless, and I acknowledge that I'm not as skilled as you. I surrender!" The expression on Kuro's face was one of stubbornness. "If you can, kill me! I'm telling you, even if I die, the Origin Fist will never let you go! No matter who you are, you'll die in the hands of Origin Fist! If I die, your whole family will die with you!""How naïve," Harvey said with a smile. In t
"Your level of power is insufficient as well. Your so-called Black Hands is somewhat interesting, but you can't even unleash half of its power. Which means that the Sky Plane's martial arts aren't good, and so are you," Harvey said as he kept on slapping Kuro.Kuro couldn't even move away from getting slapped. His face was full of blood, and its contour had completely changed. All the Origin Fist elites could only watch this in shock.Kuro was the cream of the crop of Origin Fist. Not only was he a True Warrior, but he had even mastered the Black Hands. Why couldn't he escape the weak slaps from Harvey? How could Kuro not defeat Harvey, especially in a place like Grand City?This was the same as the Origin Fist's dignity being completely soiled!But another question appeared. Were the weak-looking slaps really that powerful?"You fool! How dare you slap me!" Kuro snarled, fury and doubt on his face. He was shocked at Harvey's power. He didn't think Harvey could slap him that e
"You fool!" Kuro was completely infuriated.He immediately appeared in mid-air in front of Harvey, his palms striking down. The black miasma surrounding his hands turned into gigantic palms, carrying a powerful aura. They seemed to be expanding without limits. At that instant, they seemed to be covering the entire sky.Everyone gasped.What was going on? Was this the legendary Black Hands?They couldn't believe it! Then they saw how Harvey seemed like he was stunned by the terrifying Black Hands. He simply stood there, unmoved, as if he was frozen.Alexei's expression changed. He wanted to call out to Harvey, but he noticed that he couldn't say anything as his throat had gone dry. He couldn't even move.He wasn't the only one. Even the bodyguards from the Foster family were all full of despair. They never expected the elites from Sky Plane could be so strong—it shook them to the core. Even among the seven families from Grand City, only the few most talented people would hav
Harvey frowned and looked at Alexei. "Alexei, do all the people from Sky Plane have some emotional issues? Why are they all so self-centered?""Well…" Alexei was speechless. 'Bro… Big bro…' While Harvey had the strength to ignore the people from Sky Plane, Alexei didn't! Not only did he want to live, but he wanted to live a good life too!When Kuro heard Harvey's words, he smiled coldly. "You have quite the confidence, Mr. Representative. You probably don't understand what the words True Warriors meant. Today, allow me to help you understand just how terrifying the True Warriors from Sky Plane are!"As Kuro said that, he extended his right hand. A black miasma appeared around his fingers. Very quickly, it began to surround both his palms, looking extremely eerie.Mikan instinctively asked, "You're going to use the Origin Fist's ultimate attack, the Black Hands?"The so-called Black Hands was the ultimate technique of the Origin Fist. It was said that every use of it will make
To someone like Mikan, who thought of herself as someone at the top of the social hierarchy, what happened to her was humiliating and infuriated her deeply.She gritted her teeth and stared at Harvey. After a long while, she yelled, "Shameless… You shameless man! How dare you ambush me?!"Slap!Harvey sent Mikan flying again with another slap. This time, she slammed right into a giant stone pillar in the courtyard, and was instantly in a wounded state."Ambush? Do I even need to ambush rubbish like you?" Harvey's expression was full of disdain. "Who do you think you are? What makes you think you're worth ambushing?"Harvey fired a few more slaps at Mikan. There was no way for her to escape, and her entire face was now full of dirt. In the end, she was thrown out of the entrance. She rolled on the ground, and Harvey even kicked her on the buttocks.When all the spectators saw what had happened, their eyes grew wide, their faces filled with disbelief. They never expected that thing
Sky Plane and Grand City were similar. Their status in the Island Nation was also very high. Some of the Islanders even treat the Sky Plane as where the gods resided and would worship them.Since the ruling Royal Family and the Six Schools couldn't limit the Sky Plane, it made everyone who came from the Sky Plane incredibly arrogant. They believed they were the best of all. They believed that as long as they announced they were from the Sky Plane, no one could do anything to them.Mikan's attitude made everyone hold their breaths in anticipation. Some of those who still had compassion within them shook their heads.While it was nothing to them if they offended ordinary Islanders, members of the Six Schools and even those from the ruling Royal Family, crossing Sky Plane was a death wish.No one other than the direct descendent of the Grand City could attract Sky Plane's wrath.Just when all of them thought that Harvey was going to surrender, Harvey simply smirked and said, "As expe
"Since you're all coming for me, then there's no need to hide your intentions. Why don't you just directly tell me what your aim is?" Harvey said coldly. The attack on him smelled like a plot. However, the Islanders were making this too obvious… Only fools couldn't see through it."I'm Mikan Inoue, and this is my older brother Kuro Inoue. We are practitioners of the Origin Fists from Sky Plane," the Islander woman said with a commanding tone as she played with her martial arts robe, showing the size of her chest."When we're at the Sky Plane, we heard that the representative of Country H's Martial Arts had completely demolished all the Six Schools of the Island Nation. While they were simply servants of the Sky Plane, you still have to consider who their masters are. If you dare to hit our servants, then it's only natural for you to pay the price, correct?"Kuro Inoue also said with a smile, "Kneel and beg us to spare you. Then, we won't make a move. But the condition is that you
When Harvey saw what happened, his eyes became even colder. Even Alexei, someone who didn't know much about Harvey, could sense the murderous aura coming from him. He shuddered. Then, he mustered the courage he needed to yell, "Hey! You islanders! How dare you throw Dragon Gate into chaos! Do you have a death wish?!"When the elites from the Island Nation walked out of the inner courtyard and heard that, they hurled the injured trainers on the ground. Then, all of them tilted their heads as they looked at Harvey with a sneer.The leader among the Islanders' elites stepped forward and said in a nonchalant tone, "You're the Dragon Gate's scion as well as the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? You're only here after waiting for you for so long… Don't tell me you're scared?" He spoke the language of Country H very well, but if one were to listen, it was clear that his fluency was still quite lacking. A woman was walking next to him, playing with the sleeve of he
Alexei's eyes narrowed when he saw the man in the Island Nation's martial arts robe. "Big bro, are you really the scion of Dragon Gate? If you are, then this is going to be troublesome. The man who's challenging the training hall is one of the representatives the Island Nation's Sky Plane sent here. He's supposed to be an elite trained in the Origin Fist."Harvey's curiosity was piqued. "Origin Fist?"Alexei nodded. "You probably don't know this. While the so-called Six Schools sound great in the Island Nation, when it comes to the Origin martial arts from the Sky Plane, they are nothing! Even if we don't talk about the rest and just the Origin Fist, everyone who's trained in it is legendary. It's said that they can split mountains with their bare fists alone, and it's even more powerful than our country's Eagle Claw technique!"Alexei's expression was one of fear as he pointed at the wounds on all those trainers. If one were to look closely, all ad signs of being clawed upon. T
