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
“What are you trying to do?!” George asked, his tone severe.“These two don’t want much. For now, all they want is to borrow your heads!”Butler Yates smiled and backed away, before closing the door shut.Old Niner and George Zabel exchanged dark looks.The next second, they each grabbed a chair and charged forth.There was nothing else to do. Even if they tried to run away, it wouldn’t help. “Argh!”Moments later, pained screams rang once more.Outside of the box, Butler Yates folded both his hands behind him, a smile on his face.Despite the unending shrieks from the inside of the karaoke box, there was little change in his serene expression. On the other hand, all of his underlings’ eyes were twitching.It was said that one needn’t do much to kill a person. Apparently, the two boxing champions didn’t share the sentiment. Only God knows the torment Old Niner and George Zabel, the two masters of Buckwood’s underworld, suffered under the hands of the boxing champions ins
The usual morning hustle and bustle of Buckwood was replaced by utter silence.Those from Buckwood’s upper class, who often paraded their wealth, were now hiding away in their respectives homes as they trembled in fear. The Yateses of America were truly arrogant!Although it’s said that one didn’t need to do much to kill another, the Yateses’ act of crushing one’s bones into pieces was beyond cruel. The victim couldn’t live or die in peace. The many families and corporations that had chosen to be neutral were now regretting their decisions. Every single one of them feared getting attacked by the Yateses of America.This was especially true for the Naiswells. Despite being a top class family, they didn’t have the nerve to operate their businesses today. All of the family guards were situated at every inch of the Naiswell Manor. None of the Naiswells dared to take a step outside. Shane Naiswell knew full well that Third Master Yates’s attack last night was merely a warning.His
When Royce saw the change in Xynthia's expression, he became even more pleased. He quickly explained everything that had just happened. Of course, he had changed certain details during his explanation, turning himself into an innocent victim. Meanwhile, Harvey and Xynthia became a despicable couple who did whatever they wanted."How shameless can you get, Royce?!" Xynthia couldn't help but yell when she heard how Royce changed the facts. "My mom did take your money, but I already promised that I'll give you back the money! But not only did you take away my phone, you didn't even let me leave. You're even going to force myself on you. Don't you think that what you're doing is especially shameless?"Royce's expression didn't even change as he said, "Shameless? It's true I have a thing for money and beautiful women, but I have my own rules. I never force anyone. Every woman that became mine did so out of their own volition. Everyone in Country A knows this!"Royce looked at Kyros and
Electric sparks surrounded the head of the war hammer, which exuded a charred stench. It was flying just like the legendary Mjolnir, a powerful aura surrounding it.Tyson's expression changed as he immediately moved and blocked in front of Harvey. He strikes at the hammer with both hands holding its hilt with all his might.Clang!There was a loud clang as the war hammer and sword struck each other. Tyson swayed for a moment, and blood trickled down from the edge of his lips.His eyes became extremely sharp, as if he had an epiphany. He once again stepped forward and pounced ahead, and the sword in his hand slashed downward.Bang!This time, there was a large bang—Tyson's attack struck the man's armor. The man shook, and he was blown away. He slammed into the restaurant's glass—it started to crack immediately, looking like a spiderweb, terrifying everyone who watched.At the same time, Harvey turned and looked at the man in the armor. His face was quite handsome, and the muscles
Harvey ignored the arrogant Royce and immediately took Xynthia's hand, attempting to turn and leave. Though he wanted to floor Royce and grind that scumbag's face against the floor, he decided to end everything here. Considering that Xynthia was still present, he was worried it might scare her.But when Royce saw Harvey taking Xynthia and heading to the exit, he thought Harvey was scared. He scoffed coldly and waved his hand; without wasting another breath, he ordered, "Get him!"The foreign bodyguards didn't even waste any more time and obeyed his command, roaring as they charged toward Harvey. Electric sparks appeared around them as their muscles turned green, and steel claws emerged from their fists. It was obvious now that they weren't normal people, but rather mutants from Country A.Many were stunned when they saw this scene and grew pale, and instinctively stepped backward to avoid them.The mutants hadn't even reached Harvey when Tyson, who had been standing aside quietly
Royce let out a cry as his body shuddered. He held the other side of his face, which had swelled. There was only disbelief on his face; he couldn't help but take a few steps back.He couldn't believe that Harvey dared to give him a second slap! Everyone who saw it was speechless, as if they had seen something horrifying. Many of the scions and influential people quickly withdrew along with the beauties in their arms. None of them wanted to get caught in this.One who dared to slap Royce again and again was either truly talented or had a death wish. But no matter which kind of person he was, there was no way this would end peacefully today.Even someone ordinary, maybe with a bit of influence, would fight to the death against another who slapped him twice."Brother-in-law…" Xynthia looked at Harvey with admiration. She knew Harvey was good, but she didn't expect he would act so rashly for her. After a while, Royce finally managed to recover. He held his face, the muscles on it
The scions and the politically powerful within the restaurant thought they had drunk too much and were hallucinating. The bodyguards behind Royce even slapped themselves a few times, just to make sure they weren't dreaming.It was obvious that they couldn't believe that Harvey had walked into the revolving restaurant on top of the Geraldton Hotel without a care in the world and even slapped the secret owner of the hotel to the floor.That was Royce, the scion of the Yates of Country A! How dare Harvey? How could he do that?"Just who are you?" Royce demanded. Royce finally realized what was happening. He crawled back up as he held his face, stopping his bodyguards that were going to attack. While he was used to being arrogant, he had learned from his experience in Country A. He knew that no matter how prideful he was, someone would always try to use him as a stepping stone.Someone like that… It was either a madman or a scion with a powerful background.No matter how Royce loo
"Do you think your own sister won't abandon you?" Royce said sadistically as he attempted to provoke Xynthia. "My dear Xynthia, that's not 15 dollars—that's 150 million dollars! A lot of people are willing to sell their countries and families for that much. All I'm asking them is to give you up to me…and that's nothing."I've watched so many things like this happen in the past years. If you ask me, you should just give up. I'm someone with limited patience. Once I've lost interest in you, I'll simply throw you out of the stage. And then, you'll know what awaits you after that…" Royce leaned over toward Xynthia and extended his right hand, wanting to raise her chin."No! Don't touch me!" Xynthia yelled with a dark expression. "My sister will definitely send the money! Do you think I don't know what my sister is like?""What deep sisterly love!" Royce said as he clapped. "Fine—seeing how deep your love for your sister is, I'll give you ten minutes. But remember! If your sister isn't
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
