“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
Once Harvey was at the Dragon Gate training hall, he narrowed his eyes.A huge crowd was right outside the entrance of the training hall. He counted at least a thousand of them with just a glance.They were all either martial arts elites or mutants. None of them were normal human beings.Of course, these people were mostly here to watch the show.There were also plenty of Islander men and women in their traditional summer garbs. All of them looked quite eager. Harvey could tell from first glance that they were either from Sky Plane or had the right to enter Grand City due to being at the top of the social pyramid in the Island Nation. All of them were filled with anger and resentment after Harvey chided them as weaklings. They were here to try and reclaim their dignity.When Harvey appeared, all of them instantly turned around. The anger within their eyes is apparent."Harvey York! Are you sure you want to go your own way? You're quite brave to challenge the entire Island Natio
"Dominating the Veiled Sanctuary?" Harvey asked Alexei curiously.Alexei scoffed. "Many years ago, a prodigy was born in the Veiled Sanctuary. He was said to be just a servant born into a small family. However, his powers grew exponentially after he accidentally learned martial arts."He became a King of Arms when he was 18, and then a True Warrior at 22. After that, he secretly stole the martial arts techniques from all the schools and mastered them. Finally, when he was 30 years old, he created his own martial art technique that had never appeared in the Veiled Sanctuary—the Technique of Elephants and Dragons."It's said that those trained in this technique can possess the power of ten elephants and ten dragons. They can forcefully tear apart space itself and step into the void, reaching unity between Man and Nature. Unfortunately, he has too little influence in Veiled Sanctuary. He stole too many secrets from the different schools, causing him to offend the higher-ups."In the
"Of course, only people from Grand City are supporting him. Whether it was Sky Plane, Sky Garden, Lost City, or the other locations, everyone criticized Harvey. They believed that we should have peace with all the other Sacred Lands. Harvey's existence would only cause fights between all of us."But the so-called peace from these Sacred Lands were only maintained because they were able to benefit from Grand City. Once Harvey's here and becomes mayor, the other Sacred Lands won't be able to get used to it," Geoffrey said.He was obviously quite pleased with this.For a long time, Grand City needed someone who could take control of the big picture. One of the reasons the E-A Battlefield occurred in the past was because the mayor went missing, and all the other Sacred Lands believed they could take advantage of this situation. That was why the five nations had worked together at the time.Luckily, the Chief Instructor was there at the time. He helped them defeat all their enemies and
When Harvey remembered that Vaida was schizophrenic, he suppressed the discomfort inside of him and smiled. "Ms. Vaida, why didn't you go back to rest? Isn't it boring to be at my place?"Vaida opened the door leading to the dining room. "I don't feel bored at all. I've been cooking for you the entire day. Since you're the man of my destiny, I'm simply doing what I'm supposed to, aren't I?"Cough!Harvey couldn't stop himself from coughing before saying, "Thanks, then.""That won't do, Senior Vaida! We grew up together and have known each other for almost two decades. You've never cooked for me. What's this, then? Do I really have no place in your heart?" Alexei said, almost to the point of crying and rolling on the ground.Vaida shot him a disappointed look. "Oh, you! Look at yourself. Are you acting like a man? I'm not expecting you to become an important person, but even if you're set on being someone spoiled rotten, can you at least be like a proper one? I heard that when I
With just a simple move, the Islander swordsman screamed in pain and crashed to the ground. He didn't even have the chance to spar with Harvey.An Islander wrestler immediately rushed out of the crowd. "I dare you to try me, Harvey!" Harvey calmly kicked a chair at the wrestler, who didn't even manage to enter the door before collapsing on the ground."Fool!""Die!"One by one, the Island Nation's elites attacked, but none of them could pass through the entrance into the training hall before collapsing.Harvey's technique was indeed very terrifying. What Harvey did without exerting much effort turned all the Islanders' excitement into despair. All the Islanders that had collapsed had some reputation in Grand City. But now, they were nothing before Harvey.Meanwhile, those from Country H were overjoyed. Many of them started to go around and spread the good news throughout Grand City.Harvey's reputation had spread in Grand City. A lot of people knew that the representative of
"All you Islanders are always acting so arrogantly in our territory. You'll sneer at us, calling us weaklings every now and then. Now, we simply stated the fact that you're weaklings too—and you find it hard to accept? Don't you understand that you should treat others how you like to be treated? If you're not weaklings before him, what are you then? Feces?"Hale shouted at the Islanders fearlessly, feeling refreshed as he did it. He seemed to have suffered a lot at the hands of Sky Plane, so he didn't hold back when he started his speech. It was enough to make the Islanders hear it go mad.However, Hale wasn't scared at all. Instead, he pointed at the Islanders and went on, "Yapping of sore losers."The Islander with the mustache almost went crazy. "Do you know what you're doing? You're trying to start a war! Can you bear this responsibility?"The other Islanders also joined in; all of them called for war, as if that would be enough to threaten Harvey. However, Hale didn't even b
Harvey couldn't tell what Hale was up to by borrowing his influence, but he knew very well that what he needed to do right now was to liven Grand City up. It would be best if he could cause a wave. Only then would he have the opportunity to achieve his goals.That was why he didn't stop Hale, despite not knowing what Hale was up to. Instead, Harvey let Hale do as he wanted.Hale took a deep breath. His eyes carried a meaningful gaze as he looked at Harvey, and he said with a dry smile, "What I'm going to do is to be quite intense, but I believe you can take it."Harvey chuckled. "Is it the kind that I prefer?""I don't know if you'll like it, but I believe you won't hate it," Hale said.Harvey clapped. "Sure. Let me see just how much of a ruckus your method that I won't hate will cause in Grand City!"Hale didn't waste his breath and grabbed a white piece of cloth and started painting something. Then, he immediately put it at the entrance of the training hall. As soon as the clot
There was cheer from the crowd when they saw how Harvey could easily defeat those from the Sky Plane and win back the pride of Grand City and the people from Country H.At this time, a middle-aged man, somewhat short and plump, approached Harvey with admiration on his face. "The way you fight is brilliant, friend. Most importantly, you managed to defeat the haughty Islanders without any trouble. Simply brilliant! You've won all our admiration!""That's right!" The people in the crowd all nodded, the admiration on their faces clear.It was said that amateurs watch the show for excitement, while the experts grasp the details. However, the people who formed the crowd this time were mostly martial arts elites. They understood just how powerful Harvey was from how he easily defeated Kuro, Mikan, and the other Islanders."It doesn't matter whether I earn your admiration or not," Harvey said with a faint smile as he entered the training hall. "Since you're not my training hall's student
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
