“They’ve always been vicious. Since Harvey angered them and they took him away, he’s as good as dead.”“You should remarry!”Finn was all smiles. He could barely wait. According to the agreement, that trash Harvey was about to die soon, right?That trash dared to make Finn kneel before him!He definitely deserved to die by the hands of those gangsters!Seeing everyone’s sneers, Mandy grew desperate. She then kneeled in front of Grandma Yates, crying piteously, “Grandmother! No matter what, Harvey is still your grandson-in-law!”“Have you forgotten? Previously on your birthday, he tried his best to give you a gift!”“Even if it’s only because of that reason, please let Uncle save him!”Grandma Yates sneered. “Bribing someone with a mere pill? He must be dreaming!”“Mandy! If you still acknowledge the Yateses as your family, then just turn a blind eye on this matter.”“Wait until the news of his death is confirmed, then go through the formalities for widowhood. Grandmother wi
The Yateses had been waiting for this day for far too long!They were a family of bureaucrats. They were unable to make much progress in the business industry.Due to the lack of funds, they were unable to rise into a top-tier family for a long time.Now that they had Silver Nimbus Enterprise’s equity in their hands, they were one step closer into becoming a top-tier family. To some of the Yateses, right now, they were already a top family. When Keith saw that Mandy had signed the agreement, he immediately dialed his phone. “Is this Yannick Bisson, the Chief Inspector of Buckwood Police Department? I’m Keith Yates.”“My grandson-in-law, Harvey York, was kidnapped by a group of gangsters from Siam. I’ll leave this matter to you. I expect some results within twenty-four hours!”“Yes!”On the other side of the phone, Yannick quickly saluted and went to arrange various things.After hanging up, Keith said nonchalantly, “Just wait for the news quietly. Yannick Bisson is the Chief
Thud!A figure was sent flying, falling straight in front of Eric.Eric’s face, initially full of smiles, instantly darkened. He automatically turned around.When he took in the scene before him, he grew so frightened that he began to tremble. What was going on?Did all the mercenaries just collapse so easily?“You…who are you?!” Eric yelled instinctively. “Who am I? I’m someone you can’t afford to provoke.”“Help me pass this gift to the people behind you. Tell them that this is the consequence of angering me.”Harvey approached Eric.Eric staggered back in fear, petrified. He stammered, “Don’t come!”Crack!Harvey wasn’t interested in exchanging any nonsense with Eric. He stepped forward and kicked Eric’s right leg.“Ugh!”Eric, whose right leg was now broken, rolled on the ground. Harvey, indifferent, continued to stomp on Eric a few more times, instantly breaking all of the latter’s limbs.When did Eric, who had lived a life of extravagance, would face a predicamen
“Harvey, are you alright? They didn’t do anything to you, right?” Mandy didn’t care about anything else and hugged Harvey, studying him carefully.She was so worried, she almost fainted. Had she not been strong enough, she might be lying in the hospital right now.“Honey, I’m fine. Don’t cry, let’s go back.” Harvey gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Mandy’s eyes.He would surely follow-up on this incident until the end, but right now it was inappropriate to say this in front of Mandy.“You should send Halsey to the airport first. She almost missed the plane for your sake.”“I have something to discuss with Uncle and the others.”Mandy said, inhaling deeply.Harvey was a little confused, but he did not think much about it. Instead, he took Halsey away and sent her to the Buckwood International Airport.Meanwhile, Keith asked a lawyer to come and testify to the agreement.“According to the agreement, from this moment on, all the equity that was originally in Miss Man
“What do you mean…?” Grandma Yates pondered slightly.“Mother, we have to complete the act. We’ve just acquired Silver Nimbus Enterprise today. If Harvey gets killed within these two days, Mandy will easily grow suspicious of us.”“While I’m not afraid, if they find out about us while investigating, it’d mean big trouble!”“This time, the Yates family’s gains are huge. Naturally, we must be careful in everything.”Keith didn’t become a hothead just because he had obtained Silver nimbus Enterprise. On the contrary, he remained composed. Grandma Yates said, “We’re fine, but are the Robbinses and the Cloudeses willing to accept this?”“Also, how do we explain this to the Second Young Master?”Keith pondered briefly before flashing a shrewd look. “I’ll let the Buckwood Police Department increase the intensity of patrol and publicize it, with the excuse of preparing for South Light Military’s switch of defenses ceremony.”“As for the Second Young Master, we’ll say that due to the f
After getting along with Harvey these days, Mandy discovered that she had actually accepted Harvey from the bottom of her heart.It was just, there were still some barriers between the two which prevented them from living like a married couple.After this incident, Mandy found that she was unable to leave Harvey.It was especially evident when she saw him taken away by those gangsters. Mandy never wanted to experience that heartrending feeling again. How about taking this opportunity to consummate tonight?Consider it the last memory in this house…? A shy look appeared on Mandy’s originally pale face.Harvey, who was at the side, looked baffled. What was going on with this woman?Weeping one moment, laughing the next, and then being shy again.“Honey, what’s the matter with you? I’m fine, aren’t I?” Harvey automatically comforted her.“Nothing, I just want to cry. Oh, right.” Mandy took the initiative to change the topic. “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook it for y
Mandy fell into a daze when she listened to Harvey’s words.Was it true that she was deceived? Did Harvey get away by himself?Thinking about it carefully, the time frame did not seem to match. Keith did mention that the results of the investigation would be known within twenty-four hours.However, Harvey re-appeared within an hour.“Harvey, what are you thinking? You’re still bragging!”“Do you know who took you away? Those are gangsters from the borders of Ohio! Those guys kill without blinking!”“If it weren’t for the Yateses, who control the police in South Light, sending out many inspectors to find you and causing tremendous pressure on those gangsters, how would you still be alive?!”“You’d probably end up as a corpse!”“Didn’t you see that the people on the streets are from the police department? Buckwood’s security was raised for your sake!”Both Simon and Lilian assumed that they had known the whole story. Hence, they were livid right now. In their opinion, Harvey’s
Harvey’s bold words rendered Simon and Lilian dumbfounded.After some time, Simon sighed and lamented, “Forget it. At this point, we won’t say anything anymore.”“It’s not an easy day for you today. Take a good rest.”After that, Simon dragged Lilian away.Disappointed!There was only disappointment in their hearts!Evn in this kind of situation, Harvey still talked big. They couldn’t be bothered to say anything more at this moment.To them, a person like Harvey was utterly hopeless.Mandy smiled. “Honey, don’t make fun of me.”“In the future, let’s think of a way to start a small business. It won’t be difficult to survive if we do our part.”“If it doesn’t work, we’ll go sell on the streets. Haven’t we been engaged in the street stall vendors recently? How about starting tonight?”Mandy would always do what she said, and had a strong drive.She then went online to search for several small commodity wholesale markets nearby, and then took Harvey to stock the goods with inte
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
