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
In one of the antique shops owned by the Naiswells… Rosalie Naiswell asked the staff to put away several precious antiques. She then closed the shop, about to leave.Just then, a few large men surrounded her. “You must be Miss Rosalie of the Naiswells, right?”“My master would like to meet you.”They spoke in a polite way.The startled Rosalie had an inkling where they might have come from. She said coldly, “I’m sorry. I still have some things to settle here, so I’ll see him another day.”The shop staff were somewhat frightened, but they also knew that this could be their chance to show off their valor. They stood in front of Rosalie.“Miss Naiswell, aren’t you too naïve to rely on just a few ordinary people to protect you?”The other party flashed her a grim smile.Moments later, screams rang out from the shop. In the end, Rosalie was taken away, leaving only the wailing staff.***Soon after, Tyson made a call to Harvey.“CEO York! We just got word that Miss Naiswell
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
Tina was no fool. The moment she saw the sleeping drugs, she saw through everything. What Coco's secretary asked her to write was not some complaints but her farewell note. With that note and her death, it would be enough to drag Harvey and Vaida into the mud.Tina knew very clearly about this because she had done something similar, treating others as pawns. However, she would never willingly become someone else's pawn, especially when she had to sacrifice her life for someone else's hand on this game board.When she was writing the complaint halfway, Tina made an excuse about her needing to go to the bathroom to compose herself. But at the window, she already saw some people outside planting some evidence while removing their traces.She shuddered. She could sense the cold hand of Death around her throat. She immediately escaped through the window and immediately ran to her own car, leaving without looking back.However, Coco's secretary made his preparations as well. The moment T
"Let's not talk about whether they fail or succeed," said Harvey with a sigh. "From what happened last night, Dan was going to fight me until the end. Next, he was going to manipulate another group to try and kill me again. Unless I leave Grand City, give up on the Three Halls, and my identity as the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, all this is never going to stop…"Vaida gave Harvey a thought and asked, "Then, what are you going to do next? If you want to leave, I can send you away."Harvey shook his head. "I haven't completed my objective for coming to Grand City yet. No need to rush. Not to mention, Dan is quite petty, which means that he isn't suitable to become the mayor of Grand City. This city is very important to Country H. While I'm not interested in becoming mayor, I wish the person who becomes the mayor is someone who can serve the country and its people."Hearing Harvey's words, there was a strange glint in Viada's eyes before she said with a smile, "If
The moment the name appeared in Sverker's mind, he opened his mouth with a hoarse voice. "You're… you're the Ministry of Defense's… living legend… The Chief Instructor?!"When Ghostface heard that name, he shuddered with an expression of total disbelief.Impossible!How was it possible!He was the scariest nightmare for the Island Nation and even Sky Plane itself!Harvey sighed and no longer looked at Sverker. Instead, he turned to look at Ghostface and narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, "Ghostface, let me ask you a question. What is one plus one equal to?"Ghostface instinctively replied, "Two…'"Ha…" Harvey let out a long sigh with a face of regret. "You and Sverker are the same. Both of you have the same problem. You know too much…"In the next moment, the longsword in his hand instantly shattered into fragments and shot in two different directions. A simple action managed to clear the location of any murderous intentions as Ghostface and Sverker both held their throat a
"It's almost my turn, right?" After Harvey parried Sverker's attack easily, Harvey made his move and jumped into the air. The longsword in his hand swung down.The most powerful martial arts in this world were the ones that were the fastest.This attack was not complex at all, but just one look was enough to strike fear into one's heart. Especially Ghostface. When he saw Harvey's attack, there was an indescribable fear within him. He had a feeling that, if Harvey wanted, he could easily kill him on the spot.And then, he also understood that when Harvey was fighting him, he probably did not even use 70% of his full power."Will of the Blade!" When Harvey saw the attack, Sverker's expression also turned into shock. He had practiced the use of a sword for many years, but he never awakened to the Will of the Blade. He did not expect that Harvey would have awakened to it despite his young age!Whoosh!Sverker did not dare to face such a simple but terrifying attack head-on. All he co
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
