George smiled complacently when he noticed the awful complexions that dawned on the faces of the Great Country H’s citizens.He was a nobleman of the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. For a man like him to invest in such a poor country was akin to a charity visit. When he was still in the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, he had heard that some of the citizens of the Great Country H worshipped everything foreign and fawned over foreigners.Now, it seemed that was true.All these merchants from the great Country H were frightened of him!George turned to Mandy with a smug look. “Pretty lady, you’ll gain innumerable benefits if you go out with me!”“Not only can I show you the traditional culture of the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, but I can also help you obtain a green card that will allow you to become a citizen there!”George was determined.When he was in the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, he had also heard that there were many beauties residing in this mysteriou
“Him?”Harvey laughed.“Morgan Financial Group is just a third-class financial group in the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. Why are they acting like they’re such a big deal here in the Great Country H?”Harvey wasn’t simply talking out of his hat. Back when he was still on the battlefield, the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets had surrendered a lot of shares of their financial groups as gifts to ransom the nobles Harvey captured.The Morgan Financial Group wasn’t among them.It could be said that this financial group was just so-so. They might even be rated as low-class in the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Thus, Harvey thought that it was unnecessary for these big shots to fear Morgan Financial Group.It didn’t matter even if Morgan Financial Group was from the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.In the previous battle, five powerful nations joined forces, but they were still defeated by Harvey.The Great Country H had already risen in the world. There was no need to
“He’s indeed a noble from the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. His actions are ruthless!”“The aristocratic heritage of the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets is too profound. We can’t be compared to it!”“He has diplomatic privileges so he doesn’t need to pay a lot of taxes when he gets Regency Enterprise. Based on this point alone, we’ve lost!”The large families were all abuzz, their complexions awful.Even if they continued to increase prices, there was a high probability that they would only lose money under such circumstances.At the moment, the senior executives of Regency Enterprise were thrilled. It wasn’t a matter of price. If they were wholly-owned by Morgan Financial Group, then they would become a foreign-funded enterprise.Foreign-funded enterprises receive better treatment than domestic enterprises.These senior executives had been in Regency Enterprise for many years, and had grown unscrupulous.They couldn’t care less about their country. They simply wanted
It was important to know that the men of Morgan Financial Group originated from the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Even if there were a few citizens from the Great Country H working in the company, they were basically green card holders living in the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Therefore, they too enjoyed diplomatic privileges when in the Great Country H.Such men took advantage of this privilege. Thus, they knew that the government would always try to be on their side whenever they faced a conflict with citizens of the Great Country H.Normally, no one wanted to antagonize foreigners with diplomatic privileges.Yet, right now, someone actually dared to provoke the citizens from the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Especially George, who was a baron!Even within the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, he was considered to be part of the ruling class.He stared at Mandy and Harvey from a distance, smiling grimly.So they dare to anger him?This moron, who’d never s
After announcing the price, George shot Harvey a defiant look.546 million was the highest price Morgan Financial Group could afford.They had to set aside some funds to settle in Buckwood.George wanted to see if this man dared to follow.If he didn’t, Regency Enterprise would fall into Morgan Financial Group’s hands.However, should Harvey continue to increase the price, George couldn’t follow up and add on the price anymore.Nonetheless, George wanted to see how this low-class monkey could come up with 546 million.At this moment, everyone’s eyes fell on Harvey.Mandy, who was on the side, looked nervous.Judging by George’s expression, everyone knew he couldn’t pay a higher price.Everyone wanted to see what Harvey would do. Harvey smiled at George and raised his placard. He said indifferently, “625 million.”These few words, spoken lightly, shocked everyone present.“What?!”“625 million?!”Everyone’s complexions became awful when they heard this price.Everyone a
George’s face was filled with arrogance.His warning shook everyone back to their senses. That was 625 million!It wasn’t merely 6.25 dollars!Did this seemingly ordinary Harvey really have the money?At this moment, the complexions of the Buckwood government officials present became awful.If Morgan Financial Group used this event as an excuse to create trouble, some of them might lose their jobs.After all, they were in charge of this auction. Naturally they would take the credit if it succeeded, but it would also be their responsibility if it failed.A government official stood up and turned to Harvey. “Sir, you need to prove you have enough assets to participate in this auction!”“If you can’t, you’ll be temporarily detained for disrupting international business activities.”“You must also apologize to the honorable Sir George.”At these words, Harvey asked nonchalantly, “I have to prove it? What about him?”Harvey pointed at George.The staff member smiled and said,
George knew what a live-in son-in-law meant.A cold chuckle leaked out of him.“You’re actually looking down on me when you’re just a kept man?”“I already told you. If you can’t prove your worth, then this will be considered a diplomatic dispute. I’m afraid you and your wife have to come with me to the embassy!”Harvey chuckled icily.“And what if I refuse?”“Then I shall report this incident to the Empire Parliament. I think they would want to inquire your government for a statement!” George retorted coldly, a threatening expression on his face.In the past, it would be unfavorable for him to do something like this.“You threaten me? And my country?”Harvey frowned.“So what if I threaten Country H? It’s just a country full of monkeys anyway!”George chuckled coldly.The people present all frantically changed their expressions after hearing those words. Even those from the Buckwood government did the same.Although quite a lot of people fawned on foreigners, how many of
“This!”Gasps from the crowd echoed throughout at this very moment.“It worked?”“How is that even possible? He actually paid six hundred and twenty-five million dollars?”Those from Morgan Financial Group became so terrified, to the point where they almost fell to the ground on their hinds. The ashtray in George’s hand fell onto the carpet with a loud clang.This…How did he meet such an amazing mega tycoon the very first time he came to Country H?Out of everyone there, Mandy was the most shocked. She could barely comprehend how Harvey had made the Naiswells give her the resort before.But he actually had six hundred and twenty-five million dollars to buy Regency Enterprise?Where did he get all that money from?The pocket money Mandy gave him could never accumulate to that amount!Before Mandy could return to her senses from her shock, a Buckwood government worker said respectfully, “Mr. York, please follow us backstage to go through the formalities!”Clearly, the wo
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
Ghostface instantly slammed to the ground. He got on his knees and coughed out a mouthful of blood after a long time, and only then did he stand up with a dark expression."Gah!"When he stood up, blood was trickling from the edge of his lips. His chest was heaving visibly, and he was in a terrible state. He was critically wounded by one hit, and that alone could tell just how powerful Harvey was.Meanwhile, Harvey could not be bothered to waste his breath with Ghostface anymore. He instantly jumped out and slammed his fist once again.Whoosh!Suddenly, a few ninjas appeared from their surroundings. It was obvious they saw Ghostface was at a disadvantage. But they were kicked away by Harvey when they had just gotten close. The ninjas from the Island Nations meant nothing when faced with Harvey when he was being serious."Quick! Use the Martial Arts Weapons!" Ghostface's expression darkened once more when he saw Harvey was unstoppable and yelled out to his subordinates. Ghostface
A sharp, piercing pain immediately filled Harvey's entire being as he felt a huge needle had stabbed into his left arm. While there was no actual injury, the pain was excruciating. But the pain was not physical, it was from deep within his soul.When Ghostface saw Harvey's expression, he widened his eyes as he once again spat more fresh blood from the tip of his tongue on the doll, and the doll convulsed even harder. After that, Ghostface could only let out a cold laugh as he once again picked up the needle and this time, pinned it on the doll's chest.A shapeless pain began to spread in Harvey's being, and this time, it was heading straight to his chest.Harvey's expression changed again. Just what kind of a curse was this? How could it have had such an effect? As the needle went deeper, Harvey could start to sense the pain in his chest. He suspected that when the needle completely went into the doll, his heart would burst open.At that moment, even Harvey had to sign in admiratio
As the gigantic fireball flew straight toward Harvey, he could feel that even the humidity in the air had completely evaporated. The scent of scorching heat permeated the air. Harvey retreated again and again. With every step he took, he would kick a few pieces of rocks right at the fireball, trying to make the fireball collapse on itself.Thud! Thud! Thud!The ball of fire that was rolling toward Harvey exploded before it could get close to him in the end due to the surging of the air currents. However, all the surrounding plant life had been scorched into dust by the powerful heatwave, as if someone had detonated an explosion in the scene.Harvey's eyes narrowed when he saw what had happened. This technique had already surpassed what one would normally call martial arts. It was bordering close to fantasy. It was the first time Harvey saw a killing technique like this.And so, Harvey retreated once more and maintained a safe distance between himself and Ghostface before looking cu
Clang!The dagger instantly shattered into pieces and shot out in all directions. Some even sliced century-old trees in half. After shattering the dagger, Harvey's fist did not stop. It continued to crash forward inevitably, surrounded with aura.Ghostface's expression immediately changed, and a ghost mask instantly appeared on his face, his aura once again strengthening.Crack!But before his aura could reach his height, a crack appeared on the ghost mask, which was cut into two. With Harvey suppressing Ghostface's aura, his ace in the hole was completely useless and meaningless."Impossible…" Ghostface muttered as he could feel the cold sweat on his skin and the hairs on his arm standing up. He continuously hurled all kinds of weapons with his hands. Daggers and darts were thrown repeatedly, and his figure kept retreating backward, wanting to stop the attack with everything at his disposal.Clang!The sounds of metal being shattered rang again. His resistance was futile. In th
Whoosh!As one of the most outstanding elites among the Origin Ninjas, Ghostface had always been extremely decisive in his actions. Before he had even finished speaking with Harvey, a dagger had already appeared in his hand. His figure flickered, and the dagger went straight for Harvey.Harvey whipped his right hand out, as if he was already expecting Ghostface would ambush him, and a branch from a tree that he took parried Ghostface's dagger.Clang!As their weapons clashed with each other, a loud clang rang. Harvey's figure wavered a little bit while Ghostface's figure was flung into the air, and he landed where he started.Ghostface was shocked that Harvey could deflect his ambush with just a tree branch. With a cold smile on his face, the aura around him became even more intense. While Harvey was quite powerful, he himself was not that weak either. Those who had reached this stage had an indomitable fighting spirit.Harvey was also quite surprised when he saw Ghostface's batt
This moment caused Djinn's expression to twist in shock as he instinctively took half a step backward. The dread on his face was obvious. Who could expect that the attack he put all his might… An attack that was so terrifying did nothing at all.Before Djinn could regain his footing, the Swarm Queen's figure moved again, and the blade in her hand slashed.Djinn's figure paused as his footsteps froze, and fear spread in his eyes. That was because the Swarm Queen's blue blade had already pierced into his chest.Spurt!Fresh blood spurt out from his wound. However, the blood was not scarlet red, but a brilliant blue…"You…" Djinn's expression twisted when he saw what happened. He was not suffering… He could not even feel the pain. Then, his body slowly began to sway before crumpling on the ground. His life was slowly being drained away.Djinn seemed to remember something.He blew his final breath and said, "You… You're Belladonna Cult's Guardian… The cult's most powerful ace…"-
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
