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
“Your granddaughter? I didn’t do anything to her! On the contrary, she helped me a lot.” Third Master Yates grinned once more.“Help?” Shane was stunned for a brief moment, overwhelmed.“She’s helping me serve my two Texas boxing champions well. They’ve been holding back for too long, after all. Such beauty should make them physically and mentally happy.” Third Master Yates’s smile turned cold.“You…!”Shane faltered.“Oh, right. She’s in the room at the corner of the corridor. Go and see for yourself.” Third Master Yates pointed to the location with a smile. He had no intention to stop them. Doing this kind of thing was a favourite of his.Letting the victim’s family watch how the victim was ruined.Such torture was countless times crueler than simply beating them.All of the Naiswells rushed over to the location. Third Master Yates followed as well, his hands folded casually behind his back.He was looking forward to seeing what would happen next.Unexpectedly, when Shane
Shane’s complexion worsened. He never expected that Third Master Yates would directly slap him.“I won’t kill you today, but I want you to send him my message.”“Since he wants to play like this, then I’ll prepare a ring in Buckwood Gymnasium and play with him!”“This is a battle of life and death, regardless of victory or defeat!”“If he doesn’t come, everyone from the Naiswells and Sky Corporation will perish!”Third Master Yates announced with a frosty tone, brimming with incredible self-confidence.In his opinion, if Prince York was killed, who else in Buckwood could stop the Yateses of America?Later, he ordered his men to send the Naiswells out of the Yateses’ ancestral home.He took no hostages, but his threat was real.Sky Corporation, along with the Naiswells, amounted to close to ten thousand people.Even for a man as strong as Prince York, it was impossible to protect every single one of them.***After the Naiswells left, the Yateses exchanged glances, an ugly e
Nighttime.The news of Third Master Yates inviting Sky Corporation’s Prince York for a duel spread all over Buckwood’s social circles.It was also reported that the two Texas boxing champions were suspected of being killed by Prince York’s men.When the news came out, the entirety of Buckwood fell into an uproar.Everyone knew full well of the two boxing champions’ mighty prowess. Even figures like George Zabel and Old Niner had their bones crushed with ease.It was proof of their skills. But since Prince York’s men managed to eliminate the two boxing champions, it indicated that Prince York’s prowess was far stronger.Despite that, why did Third Master Yates unscrupulously demand a duel from Prince York, even going so far as to set up a ring?One could easily infer what that meant.Presumably, Third Master Yates was dismissive of Prince York.Everywhere in Buckwood, various kinds of rumors buzzed about.“I heard that Third Master Yates once defeated the champion of the Ame
Most importantly, if the Chief Instructor happened to lose, the impact would be unimaginable.The five powerful nations might use this opportunity to attack the great Country H once again.***Just as Yoel and the rest were fraught with worry, the representatives from Sky Corporation appeared.Yvonne and Ray led the group. Harvey did not walk with them.The crowd fell silent the instant they saw Sky Corporation’s representatives.Everyone stared in that direction, desirous to know Prince York’s true identity.Prince York was much too mysterious! He hadn’t appeared in public since his debut.Someone from the Yateses of Buckwood stood up and looked in the direction of Sky Corporation. He demanded loudly, “Where’s Prince York? Let him come out and die!”Every single one of the Yateses of Buckwood were complacent.If Prince York was killed by Third Master Yates, Sky Corporation would cease to exist. The ones who could gain the most advantage out of this situation would be the Y
‘The people in this country are all cowards?!’Everyone present trembled with anger when these words were said.This was especially true for Yoel and others. At that moment, their complexions morphed into something dreadful. Third Master Yates’s words were bland, but if Prince York didn’t show up to fight today, not only would he lose his reputation, but it would also disgrace the Great Country H.This could even affect the status of the Great Country H in the eyes of the international community.Some local families from Buckwood couldn’t help but rise up.“Prince York! Since you dared to provoke Third Master Yates, you have to fight today!”“That’s right! Otherwise, not only you’re disgracing yourself, but you’re also disgracing the Great Country H!”“How dare a person like you claim to be number one in all of South Light?! What a big joke!”Everyone was kicking up a storm, going against Prince York, who hadn’t shown up at all.They had all forgotten.This ring was set up
The crowd grew even noisier at Harvey’s words.“Harvey, you’re just a live-in son-in-law. Do you really think you’re the star? You have no say here!”“We’ll know after we fight? Who do you think you are?”Harvey ignored them. Instead, he shot Third Master Yates a mocking gaze.“This is a matter between Third Master Yates and I. You don’t have the right to speak here. Can’t you just shut up and watch the fun?” Harvey said indifferently.“Are you really that anxious to die?” Third Master Yates looked down at Harvey, his hands on his back.Harvey smiled. “I’m giving you a chance. If you fall by my hand, you won’t have to kneel or grovel to me and admit your mistakes.”“Gasp…!”The onlookers gasped after listening to Harvey.This live-in son-in-law certainly didn’t know where he stood. He was actually mocking Third Master Yates in front of so many people!Didn’t he know that Third Master Yates could kill him with just a single slap?Most importantly, with his level of skills, ho
In the outskirts of Buckwood.In a warehouse, full of waste… Mandy and her secretary were tied up in a corner.Halfway to Regency Enterprise this morning, they were stopped. They were still clueless as to what was going on.The men Tyson had arranged to protect them were quietly taken care of. Thus, even Tyson had yet to receive word of what had happened.Outside the warehouse, a blond man sat. A cold aura radiated from him; he looked like a veteran soldier who had been on the battlefield.He sipped some vodka, occasionally turning to look at Mandy and her secretary."These two ladies aren’t bad. It’s a shame I can’t touch them now. Otherwise, it’d be so much fun!” He lamented.Butler Yates was his superior. Before that man, he dared not mess around.When Mandy heard his words, she was relieved.She didn’t know what was happening, but there was still hope as long as these men didn’t touch her or her secretary.Meanwhile, a few more blond men entered from the door.They sta
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
Harvey stood behind Clarion as he looked at all these men and women in their luxurious outfits. Other than the heirs of the large families from Grand City, Harvey could not really tell how powerful they were. Harvey even noticed quite a few mutant elites from Country A. All of them gathered together and all the topics they discussed about were extremely sophisticated, making them feel that they were the most important individuals in this world.Other than these people, she saw a woman wearing purple traditional garb in the middle of the group. She could not tell the woman's age, but her figure was slender and curvaceous. She carried an esteemed imposition. Or perhaps, it was better to describe her imposition as queen-like.She held an exquisite hookah in her hand that was made from gold. She would sometimes take a puff before blowing out a stream of smoke, as if she were some kind of empress.Quite a few men would glance at her before averting their eyes, as if they were too afraid
Every word Clarion heard from Jade made his expression turn even darker. When she finished, Clarion almost wanted to stomp on the woman even as he suppressed his anger. Just when Clarion was going to slap Jade in the face as she deserved, Neve stopped him.Neve then took a golden card from her Hermes handbag and gave it to Jade. "I have a member card. This is the card your madam gave to me when the Platinum Casino was first established. I believe you will accept this."Neve never paid much attention to the card when she first received it and simply kept it in her handbag. She did not expect it to have some use today. "This is one out of the fifty member cards the casino gave out at the beginning. I was told it gives me the highest privilege. You won't deny this, will you?"While Neve was smiling, her words were cold and harsh. "If you won't, then I can assume the Platinum Casino has a problem with the Fosters of the Universal Sect. I will then report this to my grandfather."Clario
The woman was beaming at Clarion and said, "Everyone knows who you are in Grand City, sir. My name is Jade Bierstadt, and I'm your biggest fan. Although I'm a fan, I still need to obey the rules here. It will be bad for society if everyone can simply break the rules, right?"In other words, it's not because I have something against you. But it's because I have no choice as this is my duty. Since I'm making a living here, I need to perform my duties to earn my salary, correct? So, please forgive us and show us workers some mercy. But if you must ignore the rules here, then I'm afraid I'll have no choice…"And then, Jade gently clapped her hands. A group of men-in-black slowly walked out of the VIP passage after that. There were also some clicking sounds from the high ground some distance away, as several men started to parade their sniper rifles.The Platinum Casino had truly demonstrated their superiority today.Harvey narrowed his eyes. He had quickly determined that whether it wa
