The expression on Nick’s face grew even more smug when he heard Mandy talking humbly like this.“CEO Zimmer, since you say it that way, then I’ll have to watch over your business.”“All these stockings, I want them!”Nick looked more despicable when he finished speaking. “I want to buy a pair too!”“Hahaha…!”Nick’s subordinates laughed wretchedly. Their eyes fell on Mandy, full of desire.Nick grinned maliciously and said, “Mandy, I heard you already gave away all of Silver Nimbus Enterprise’s equity. That means you have nothing left now. Maybe you can’t even rent a house!”“How about this? Recently, our company's looking for a secretary for me. Seven hundred and eighty dollars a month.”“I haven’t found a suitable candidate yet. If you behave well, I could give that position to you!”“But you have to remember one condition of being my secretary. You have to sleep with me!”Harvey couldn’t hold back anymore. This guy was too filthy. Right now, Harvey wanted nothing more th
Nick hastily got up from the ground.He was livid and humiliated. He took out his phone and pressed the dial button.“Brother Fly, it’s me, Nick!”“I was beaten by a street vendor in the pedestrian street!”“This is your turf. You must come and give me justice!”Everyone’s expressions changed when they heard Brother Fly’s name.After a while, someone could not help saying, “Hey, boss. This Brother Fly you mentioned, could he be the big boss of the pedestrian street?”“You’re quite knowledgeable. Yeah, it’s that Brother Fly!”“Brother Fly is one of the big bosses on the streets. He watches over the pedestrian street!”“He’s my big brother!”Nick had a triumphant expression on his face.Many people’s expressions changed drastically at this statement. As of this moment, some of the street vendors’ complexions were extremely awful.A few kind stall owners couldn’t help but exclaim, “Girl, hurry up and go!”“Brother Fly isn’t that simple! Everyone who sets up a stall here has t
Brother Fly sneered, “Setting up a stall on my turf without paying the protection fee? Interesting!”“It’s been a long time since I met a person who has some balls!”As he spoke, he spat on the ground. He said indifferently, “Brat, lick my spit clean! Kneel on the ground when you talk to me!”“Or else, I’ll cut off all your limbs today!”Nick and his subordinates sneered.Nick glared at Harvey and added, “Brat, did you hear that? Hurry up and get on your knees!”“If you behave now, Brother Fly might not kill you!”“If you don’t, I’m afraid you won’t be able to even crawl out later!”Harvey watched as Nick continued acting like a clown, utterly indifferent and unmoved. Mandy quickly stepped in front of Harvey and blocked him, whispering, “Harvey, these people are from the streets. We can’t afford to provoke them.”She apologized to Brother Fly, saying, “Brother Fly, we’re new here. We still don’t know the rules.”“I’m not sure how much we need to pay, but I’ll settle the fee
Brother Fly’s mistress, Becca Day, giggled quietly.“Darling, this man’s acting so arrogant! Hedoesn’t even bat an eye at you.”“He doesn’t know what’s good for him!”Hearing these words, Brother Fly’s gaze turned ice-cold.He had been around Pedestrian Street for so many years. Even if the first-in-command of the police station in the area were to bump into him, they’d have to pay him respect.Who would’ve imagined this hothead who showed up out of nowhere would be this disrespectful?He even told Brother Fly to kneel inside a trash can? What a joke!“I’m warning you one more time. Kneel and lick my spit clean!” Brother Fly demanded, laughing coldly. The whole place fell into dead silence. Everyone around dared not utter a single word. They didn’t even have the courage to breathe.All of them could sense that Brother Fly was truly livid.In Pedestrian Street, enraging Brother Fly would do no one any good.Only Harvey remained as still as a rock, his face also as cold as
“Mr. York, are you insane? Do you know who Brother Fly’s boss is? Do you even have the guts to accept his apology even if he did come here?”“That man is a true master in this line of work! With just a snap of his fingers, he could do whatever he wants! Yet you want a man like that to bow down to you?”“What are you thinking? You’re just a live-in son-in-law setting up a street stall! Are you even worthy?”Nick Lachey and the rest jabbed their fingers at Harvey and rebuked him. Naturally, they had never encountered a person who was this oblivious about the good and bad.Mandy was a bundle of nerves.‘Demanding the boss to show up and apologize to me?’‘What’s Harvey thinking?’‘Isn’t he just trying to get us killed?’Mandy panicked and pulled out her phone. Trembling, she sent Keith and Finn Yates a text.Under these circumstances, although Mandy really didn’t want to resort to begging, she was afraid that Harvey would be beaten to death by Brother Fly and his lackeys if she d
Watching Harvey’s arrogance, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on Brother Fly’s face.“You’re finished, kid!”“When my boss shows up, you’ll understand the true meaning of death!”“It’s not just you! I won’t let your wife off the hook either!”Harvey didn’t reply. He casually picked up a steel pipe and immediately swung it at Brother Fly’s face.“Argh!”Brother Fly let out an unintelligible wail as a mouthful of teeth sprayed out.He glared at Harvey, his eyes flashing with anger. He wanted to threaten Harvey, but dared not open his mouth for fear of Harvey hitting him again.To the watching crowd, Harvey was finished.This whole mess couldn’t be fixed by simply crippling him anymore. Mandy was so frightened, she was on the verge of tears. She never imagined that her husband would be this rash!Even if the Yateses did show up to help, settling this problem won’t be easy. Mandy grabbed Harvey’s hand and pleaded, “Darling, let’s leave quickly. Let’s get out of Buckwood and re
A few minutes later, van after van stopped at the roadside of Pedestrian Street. Crowds of men then rushed out. Seeing this, Brother Fly brightened.Even Nick Lachey and his lackeys were exhilarated.Soon, a large group of men were present.They were all dressed in black suits, tall and strong. It was obvious that they were fighters at first glance.The man leading them was a middle-aged man wearing a suit, he looked extraordinary at first sight.He was none other than Buckwood’s well-renowned head, Master Caesar.Master Caesar and his man moved to the front of the crowd and fell into shock. It was especially evident when they spotted Brother Fly kneeling in front of Harvey.“Boss, save me! This man actually hit me! He’s not even paying you any respect!” Seeing his savior, Brother Fly couldn’t help but speak. But then he saw Master Caesar immediately rushing toward Harvey, saying, “Are you alright?”His men were all bowing with their hands folded. They dared not spare a sin
Brother Fly was not the only one. Everyone else was just as bewildered.The way they looked at Harvey changed.What happened?Even Mandy was at a loss.She did ask the Yates family for help.Maybe the Yateses were actually quite powerful? Perhaps a phone call alone was enough to pressure Master Caesar?Thinking about it, this was expected. The Yateses controlled South Light’s police force, coincidentally making them a mobster’s worst enemy. Perhaps Harvey too understood this fact, which explained why he was acting so unscrupulously.Just then, another group of men stepped forth. The man leading the group was none other than Tyson Woods.“This…this is the new king of South Light’s streets, Tyson Woods!”“Right, that’s him! Why did he come here?!”Everyone gasped. To think a trivial matter like this could actually provoke a major figure like him to show up! Tyson didn’t care for the others and swiftly rushed toward Harvey. He automatically asked, “Sir York, are you alright?
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
