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
Rosalie was still conscious. She stammered, trembling, “Third Master Yates! If you treat me this way, rest assured that my grandfather will fight with you until his last breath!”“Fight me until his last breath? Is he worthy?”Third Master Yates’s tone was full of mockery.“It’s just the Naiswells. If I desire it, your family could be ruined the very next day!”“But don’t worry. I won’t kill you.”“When the two of them have enough fun, I’ll leave you at the Naiswells’ gate. I want Shane Naiswell to understand the price he’ll pay after rejecting me in person!”Third Master Yates turned and left, the perverse grin still hanging on his lips.The two Texas boxing champions began to undress, wretched grins on their faces, as they prepared to assault Rosalie.Rosalie closed her eyes in despair. Harvey’s face appeared in her mind at that very moment, though she was unsure of the reason why. Just then, the balcony on the other side was suddenly kicked open. Bang!The two Texas boxin
The Yateses of Buckwood, who were serving by the side, shuddered.Third Master Yates’s underlings were terrible! They committed such abnormal acts.However, none of them dared to express their thoughts before Third Master Yates. Instead, they squeezed out a smile and simpered, “The way Third Master Yates’s men do things is indeed beyond one’s imagination!”“However, this is still the center of Buckwood City. It’s a good thing that there are no screams. We can avoid unnecessary troubles.”Butler Yates glanced at them and snapped frostily, “Presumptuous! When is Third Master Yates ever afraid of trouble?”“No matter if someone hears the sound, this is only Buckwood. Who dares to stop it?”“Yes, yes. We said the wrong thing!” One of the Yateses was so frightened, he almost fainted on the spot.To him, Third Master Yates was a despot, moody and terrifying. He dared not slip up and say the wrong thing, for fear he would end up horribly.Third Master Yates was not angry. Instead, he
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
