“And you were actually parading around with a man outside while we’re in the middle of marriage discussions?“And if I were to ask for a fair statement from the Xaviers, this man might need to die for it, right?”Chris Leo was showing a faint smile on his face. He looked at Harvey York with full of disdain.In the past, he did not want to argue with Harvey, the stink bug. But when the bug was right in front of him, he would need to take action himself.After listening to his words, Yvonne’s face had lost all color.She knew full well the capabilities of the Xaviers from Wolsing. If the Leos actually went up to the Xaviers’ doorstep, the family would surely take action against Harvey, even if it was only for pride.And could Harvey, the retired former chief instructor, really be able to deal with two top families?Especially the Xaviers from Wolsing, they were one of the ten top families!Without a second thought, Yvonne closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly opened
Harvey York finally looked at Rocco Ortiz and then said calmly, “I’m not in the mood to squash a small fry like you. While I’m still in a good mood, you should crawl out of here, and I won’t pursue this matter any further.“If not, I can guarantee you that you won’t need to even eat for the rest of your life.”He would not stop until he shocked people with his words!Not only did Harvey not give in, he even dared to say something like this, making the whole crowd in shock.After almost a minute of complete standstill, everyone then came back to their senses.“Hahaha, where did this hothead come from? You know that Representative Ortiz represents Prince Leo, right?”“If he apologized to you, would you even dare to accept it?”“Yeah, who even are you?! Since Prince Leo gave the order, you have to crawl out of here today!”“If you don’t, we’ll show you the way out!”The staff and fighters were all subordinates of the Leo family from Hong Kong. Instead of being ashamed, they were
After Yvonne Xavier’s expression changed for a moment, and she then whispered, “CEO, I’ll go ask my grandfather to show up and mediate the affair for us.”Harvey York smiled.“Why mediate the affair? If Chris Leo didn’t escape earlier, I could guarantee that he won’t be needing to eat for the rest of his life.”Yvonne sighed, not knowing what to say at that moment.After Harvey had sent Yvonne home, she left quietly and arrived at the Xaviers’ residence.“Grandfather, something happened. Please help Harvey! Out of all the people in South Light, only you can help him right now!”The sound of Yvonne kneeling in front of Sheldon Xavier could be heard.Yvonne never wavered even for her own affairs, but she did not want Harvey to provoke the Leo family and the Xavier family at the same time just because of her.Especially the Xaviers from Wolsing.Yvonne was a part of the family, so she knew full well how scary the capabilities of the Xaviers from Wolsing were.Even if Harvey was
“Fine, I accept!”Even though Yvonne Xavier was highly reluctant, she would do anything in her power to get Harvey York out of trouble.She had made her decision. Even if Chris Leo were able to marry her in the end, he would never have her.She was also ready to bring Chris down with her!At this moment, Yvonne’s sister-in-law, Rita Lawson, laughed coldly and said, “Grandfather, simply having a promise on some things just isn’t enough. Maybe we should get her to sign an agreement first?”The crowd of Xaviers all agreed in unison after hearing those words.Soon, an agreement was made. According to the promise, if the Xavier family could relieve Harvey of his danger, Yvonne would have to marry Chris.Yvonne’s expression was as dark as night, gritting her teeth while she finally signed the pact.All the Xaviers displayed blissful expressions on their faces.With the Leo family as their family-in-law, the Xaviers from Wolsing would definitely have the chance to rise once again str
The Xaviers from South Light all did not know about Harvey York’s true identity.They all nodded in unison after hearing those words.“Prince Leo truly has great foresight. Announcing the marriage on an occasion like this is equivalent to make the relationship between the Leos and the Xaviers from Wolsing public!”“With the chief instructor, Oskar Armstrong, the first-in-command of South Light’s military force along with the others as witnesses. This is an affair that will shake the entire country!”“After this, the status of the family will surely rise up quickly!”At this moment, nobody cared about Yvonne’s expression.In their eyes, selling out Yvonne for so many benefits was a business worth making!***At the same time, inside a luxurious villa.Chris Leo was attending to an important guest.The guest was none other than the Leo family’s distant relative, Jessie Tate.Jessie’s family was a branch of the Leo family, but the Leos never looked up to them.But Jessie was d
Jessie Tate was showing utmost admiration and respect written on his face.The Chief Instructor of Sword Camp was a myth in the military force, a living legend.Chris Leo then slightly trembled and asked, “What? A chief instructor might even be able to take the position of an Elder in the military force? Are you serious?!”“There’s no doubt about it. Who else would even have the right to do so other than him?” Jessie lamented.Chris took a deep breath and swiftly replied, “If that’s the case, then we should be fighting for his acknowledgment!“If he wills it, then it wouldn’t only be about my marriage this time. The important thing is that we’ll also have connections with the future Elder of the military force!”“Maybe we can even use the connection to put the Leos on the leaderboard as one of the top ten families!”Chris held off mentioning one more thing. If he could be acquainted with the Chief Instructor, then nobody would dare to threaten his position as Prince in the entir
At the same time.At the Yates family’s house.Grandma Yates, Carson Cloude, and Callum Robbins all stood up straight.As a first-rate family in Buckwood, those three showing up had meant that was something big happening.And not far away from them, a man wearing a black suit stood still with his left hand up while staring at his palm.There was an unspeakable aura surrounding the man. He did not do anything special, but the atmosphere had made Grandma Yates and the others freeze in place, not even being able to breathe.After a long while, Grandma Yates and the others all regained their courage after the man put down his left hand and said, “Young Master, what brings you here?“You didn’t call us beforehand to fetch you either.”Quinton York then replied, “If I’m any later, the four first-rated families will all be dead in a ditch.”Grandma Yates and the others all had a slight change in their facial expressions after hearing those words.Quinton was furious.At this moment
“Are you serious, Young Master?!”“If that’s the case, then we shall do whatever it takes and give you a surprise before the Ceremony of Changing Defenses!”Grandma Yates and the others were all rubbing their hands together.Dealing with Harvey York could be exchanged for their freedom. There were no better bargains in this world to them.Especially for the Yates family, they had never forgotten about Silver Nimbus Enterprise. Still, they were reluctant to take action since they would hinder the future first-in-command of South Light’s military force, Bellamy Blake.But now that Quinton York supported them, they were naturally unscrupulous.Looking at the few people that were highly exhilarated, Quinton’s expression had turned as cold as ice.He had already gotten word of Callum Robbins’ failure.He also knew about the Chief Instructor of Sword Camp attending the Ceremony of Changing Defenses for the first-in-command of the South Light’s military force.This was also the main
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
