“Kneel!”Ben Yates chuckled coldly while walking toward Harvey York. He was about to press onto Harvey’s shoulders to force him to kneel.But how could he possibly press him down?“Kneel right now!”Ben felt like he was embarrassing himself in front of Third Master Yates. He desperately kept trying to push him now.“Croak!”Harvey suddenly gave a slap across Ben’s face.Ben was sent flying. His body was twitching when he finally landed on the ground.It went silent!To the point where you could hear a pin drop!Everyone could not believe what they saw.The Yates family was especially dumbfounded.What sort of identity did they have at this moment? What kind of status did they have?‘How dare this filth, Harvey, hit him like this?!’“Croak—”As Ben struggled to get back up, Harvey already walked over to step on his neck.Everyone gasped when they saw what was happening. Then, all of them also showed unbelievable looks on their faces.Ben Yates…Died?!Third Master Yat
Third Master Yates waved his hand at this moment, then exclaimed coldly, “Just let him go for now. Today is a big day for the Yates family. There’s no rush.“When the marriage with the Chief Instructor is settled, it’ll be easy to squash this bug later!”Grandma Yates froze over, then shyly replied, “Third Master, you’ve thought of everything! It won’t take us long to deal with a mere live-in son-in-law anyway!“The Chief Instructor’s visit is the main event tonight!”“If we can get the Chief Instructor to marry into our family, the Yates family will surely be the greatest family in all of South Light!”Just like that, Harvey left under everyone’s gaze.Third Master Yates then regained his unbending expression at this moment, then calmly asked, “Didn’t you say that the Chief Instructor was coming? When will he be here?”Grandma Yates then bowed and replied, “He didn’t specify the time, but I assume he’s almost here.“I’ll ask someone to call him.”After a short while, Leyton L
Yoel Graham looked deeply into the eyes of Third Master Yates, then slowly replied, “Third Master, I know that you’re here representing the Yates family from America, Texas.“Naturally, Texas of America also has a good relationship with Buckwood.“Because of that, I’m giving you a suggestion out of kindness.“Kneel and apologize, then pack your bags and leave the country. Never come back to Country H ever again.“You can’t go against that man!”Everyone was shocked after hearing Yoel’s words.Kneel and apologize? Then leave the country?“That’s right. I second this opinion!”“Buckwood isn’t as simple as the Yates family from America thinks it is. I suggest that it would be best for you to beg for forgiveness and leave, Third Master. It would be hard for us to give a statement to America if something were to happen to you here,” All the other higher-ups from the government of Buckwood spoke separately.Shane Naiswell then said with an unfathomable expression, “Third Master Yate
Yoel Graham and others gasped after hearing the words from Third Master Yates. Their expressions were utterly horrible at this point.They did not think that he would not give in, and he still wanted to enter Buckwood forcefully.Then asked everyone to side with him publicly.He wanted to go head-to-head against that man!After taking a deep breath, Yoel then made a statement.“Third Master Yates, I’ve said everything I want to say.“From the government’s perspective, we won’t interfere with competition within the business circle if it’s within reason, nor can we interfere with it.“Please understand, Third Master.”Third Master Yates’ gaze was as cold as ice, he couldn’t force the people from the government anyway. He then coldly asked, “Fine, what about the others?”The powerful people from the Morgan Financial Group looked at each other and then said in unison, “I’m willing to follow you, Third Master!”Even though those people were not higher-ups of their division, they w
Third Master Yates was showing a face full of righteousness.Shane Naiswell sighed after seeing him like this.He knew that no matter which side he chose, the Naiswell family would sooner or later be the enemy of the Yates family from America.Even if they were working with them then, what would happen afterward?It was another thing whether they could be opponents for that man.Even if they were to win miraculously, would the Yates family from America let the Naiswell family off the hook easily?No!They would never let others interfere with their affairs!If the Naiswell family chose to take the Yates family from America’s side, what other benefits would they have besides being their pawns?It was good that he knew full well how to choose already.Shane put down his right hand at this moment, then looked at Third Master Yates without any emotion in his eyes.“Third Master, I’ll have to disappoint you. The Naiswell family will side with Prince York from Sky Corporation!”B
The atmosphere fell into pin-drop silence. Nobody dared to utter a single word.Clap, clap…Amidst the silence, someone started to clap, an ice-cold expression on his face.It was Third Master Yates who clapped.He sized up Shane Naiswell with the same icy glare.At that moment, even Third Master Yates himself was in disbelief.He had assumed that no one dared to disobey his commands. When he entered Buckwood, he felt that it was a must for everyone to kneel before him. Who would’ve expected there would be so many who weren’t afraid of death, and even dared to belittle his power on the very first day he arrived in Buckwood.Harvey York didn’t want to live anymore!Prince York certainly didn’t know what was good for him.And now, even Shane Naiswell wasn’t showing respect to Third Master Yates?!Right then, Third Master Shane burst into laughter. It was an evil cackle that made anyone’s hair stand.Where’s their respect?The respect Third Master Yates had accumulated for s
Wicked wanton laughter rang throughout the Yates’s Manor.Everyone present broke into cold sweat.Third Master Yates was inhumane.He was a devil from America!Who could challenge his power and status?The trembling Shane Naiswell ended up leaving with the help of Yoel Graham and several others.One by one, the guests left. Some of them couldn’t hold it in and vomited their dinner on the roadside. It was too terrifying!Third Master Yates’s terror was akin to a dark shadow cast deep into their hearts.Even the overseas companies’ representatives who had chosen the Third Master’s side, such as Morgan Financial Group, were filled with sheer horror.They came to the realization that the Third Master’s arrogance would certainly swallow them alive in the near future.Unfortunately, they had no choice. If they didn’t stand with the Third Master, they would be running headlong into the throes of death. That night, the entirety of Buckwood’s upper-class elites were shaken. Da
Harvey chuckled again. “Third Master Yates will perish if he attacks so soon.”“I’ll give him a week’s time. If he’s in such a hurry to die, he can’t blame me for not keeping any of my promises.”The truth was, Harvey really couldn’t be bothered about Third Master Yates.However, things might be more interesting if the Yateses of America gave their all in this matter.…At the same time.In Buckwood Royale Karaoke Box.George Zabel and Old Niner were drinking in the box.Their statuses took a significant turn compared to before.They now had Harvey York backing them. Plus, Tyson Woods had become the new king of South Light’s underworld.Because of these factors, their statuses rose with manic speed. These days, they had already begun to discuss how they could whitewash their reputations and start a clean, decent business.After all, Buckwood’s market nowadays was lucrative. If they truly wanted to make some contributions to Buckwood, Harvey would surely offer them the o
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
