“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
George held his broken hand, almost crushing his yellow teeth in anger.“No! We of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets will never be embarrassed like this in a small country from the far East!”“We won’t let go of this matter that easily!”“I’ll cripple that man!”“Regency Enterprise is mine!”“That woman will be mine as well!”“What should we do then, Master?” George’s servant, King Cook, asked from the side.He was a citizen of Country H, but he had acquired a green card from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. At this moment, he had completely identified himself as a servant of said country.Such xenophiles were usually the most shameless.He would be utterly ruthless toward his fellow citizens just to pamper his new master.King had already begun to rub his palms together, thinking of ways to avenge his new master.George took a deep breath and asked, “How many people did we bring this time?”“A total of thirty people. The one leading the group is a retired knight
If it really were true, then it would explain a lot of things.Including Prince York himself proposing to Mandy.And why the Naiswells would just give her the resort.How Harvey had six hundred and twenty-five million dollars to spend.And how Harvey had the guts to break George’s hand.Along with many many things before, they all had a proper explanation.But the problem was that if Harvet was indeed Prince York himself, why didn’t he tell Mandy?Mandy frowned. She studied Harvey, question marks constantly popping out her head.…When everything was over, Harvey and Mandy had no intention to stay any longer. They got in their car and immediately left.With Regency Enterprise at hand, there were many things to arrange.Right after the two had left, George, who had a plaster cast, along with a few other men, kicked the door down.Seeing the empty room, George’s expression turned as cold as ice.“Where are they?”King replied timidly, “Master, they must’ve just left. My men
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
"All of us were ready to commit suicide for the 50 million A dollars!""We even sold out our country, meaning we could never return to the Island Nations!""You either give us all the money back, or we'll never stop hounding you for it!" All the Islanders were extremely furious.In truth, the Islanders who were paragons of unity and love were ordinary people in the end and could be swayed by profit. Without the money, they wouldn't have given such a performance.Linus couldn't help but shudder when he saw all the Islanders looking at him with murderous intent, as if a pack of wolves were glaring at him, with the intent to kill. "Stop making such wild accusations!" he cried. "While I really did pay to tell you to work, all I did was give you 10,000 dollars! And that's not A dollars, but H dollars. As for paying all of you 50 million dollars per person… Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm willing to pay so much just so you'll frame Yvonne? Why don't you consider if you're w
The phones of all the Islanders who were willing to commit suicide started to vibrate. All the Islanders who were in their righteous fury took out their phones. When they saw the content on the screen, they roared—they were so angry that they almost went mad.They instantly got up from the ground, their eyes bloodshot. All of them glared at Linus, as if wanting to tear him apart. The reporters and spectators were a little shocked, and instinctively took a few steps back. It was obvious that they felt a murderous intent.Before anyone could react, Nomura waved his hand. All the Islanders surrounded Linus and his men. Linus frowned slightly. "What do you all want?""Fools!" Nomura immediately aimed his longsword at Linus. "Don't you people from Country A call yourself a civilized world? That obeying the contract is important to you? Why did you suddenly break the contract when we've done everything you asked us to do?"The other Islanders all looked at Linus with a murderous expres
Linus wore a victor's smile. The reason he looked for Tojo Nomura earlier was to accuse Yvonne and the Xavier family on the spot, to make sure they would be accused of being traitors.He didn't expect a little money to be enough to make them act. Good, good. All he could say was that no matter how powerful or barbaric the Islanders were, they were nothing before the great people of country A. Not to mention, he had already given them their rewards. Even if he didn't, the Islanders still had to act as he ordered.Yvonne frowned. Of course, she knew that nothing the Islanders said was true—merely defamation. The problem was that she couldn't understand why someone like Nomura, who was a disciple of Shinto Way, had to make up such lies.The moment that thought crossed her mind, Yvonne looked coldly at Linus and said, "Just how much did you give them to the point they're willing to sell their country?""Tsk! You think that's enough to scare me?" Linus smiled wryly. "Everybody knows h
Very quickly, many Islanders ran to the stage. All of them were wearing the Islanders' traditional summer garb. The way they stood and the way they lifted their beard made them easily identifiable as Islanders.According to how unified Islanders were, everything they said would most likely be true.When Linus saw what was happening, sat down and folded his legs. His sexy secretary helped him light up a cigar. He took a deep breath, then looked at the unfolding scene with interest.Very quickly, the Islander leading the men took a step forward and said angrily, "Everyone! I'm Shinto Way's disciple, Tojo Nomura. I'm also the leader of the disciples still in Country H. "A few days ago, the Xaviers of Wolsing requested a marriage with our Young Master, Shingen. They have also signed a lot of contracts with us. Some of them include how Shinto Way will transfer the shares of our assets in Country H to them, while they will have to transfer ownership of their business on the Island Natio
When Yvonne saw Linus pulling out things they shouldn't and even giving them to the reporters, she instantly realized that he cared little about the consequences anymore.What he did was to ensure the Xaviers were blamed for everything. Even if he gained nothing from it, he still wanted to do it just so the Xaviers would have a hard time in Country H. He even wanted to use this to make both Country H and the Island Nation to force them to publicly deal with Shingen's death.Harvey, who caused all of this, would be in a lot of trouble. Yvonne looked at Linus coldly. "Linus, you know that taking things out of context and making up stories won't be beneficial to you. Where's your conscience?""Conscience? What's that?" Linus said with an exaggerated expression. "I'm not the one who killed Shingen. It's you Xaviers of Wolsing and the prospective son-in-law you wanted. Are you afraid others will find out? I'm just someone who knew the truth with a righteous heart!"I can't bear to see
The faces of Yvonne and the others from the Xaviers all shifted a little. It was obvious they didn't expect an Islander to appear. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at all of this coldly.Journi, who was a little bit surprised, turned to Harvey subconsciously. "What's going on?""We're simply giving the full package. The most difficult part of all of this was to explain why the Islanders would give up. Rather than waiting for others to expose the truth, why don't we give everyone the truth?" Harvey said calmly."What do you mean?" Journi said with a frown. "Simple. While these people are Islanders, they'll work for money. In this situation, the words of an Islander are more effective than the words of a hundred people from Country H…"Journi was curious about what Harvey wanted to do, but then some of the reporters realized what was happening. "Are these allegations from the Islanders true? Did you really assassinate Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, who wanted to improve the relationship
