‘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
Gradually, time passed within Buckwood Gymnasium.Soon enough, ten minutes had gone by. By now, Third Master Yates was already standing inside the dueling ring.Just as Harvey was about to step in, his phone buzzed with a notification.Harvey pulled out his phone without much thought, and was greeted with a picture. In it was Mandy and her secretary, bound and gagged inside a dirty room.Instantly, Harvey’s face darkened into a wretched expression. Murderous intent seeped out of his entire being. The nonchalant and high-and-mighty Third Master Yates suddenly found the air around him turning cold, and an involuntary chill struck him. Butler Yates approached Harvey with a meaningful grin. “Harvey York, I hope you can give your best against my master. Do show us the Country H’s fighting spirit.”With that said, he spun on his heels and left. Harvey’s eyes twitched slightly.This was a clear and blatant threat.As soon as the picture reached Harvey, Butler Yates had immedi
His strike was as light as a feather.His fist landed on Harvey at a ridiculously slow speed.The power…Alright, fine. There wasn’t much power in it, either.Third Master Yates was far from a veteran fighter. In fact, he was a nobody who couldn’t even put on a convincing pretense! But as Harvey thought of Mandy’s ill predicament, he forced himself to sway light and then retreated three steps behind. The sight of it sent the crowd into an uproar. In truth, none of them understood what they were witnessing. “There it is! There it is!”“That’s Third Master Yates’ first move in the Art of Conversion! Take that!”“If this live-in son-in-law can’t even handle the first move, how could he possibly be an opponent for Third Master Yates?”“This oblivious fool’s now getting a taste of Third Master Yates’ greatness! That’ll teach him not to be so arrogant!”“To think he’s representing Country H in this fight. If news of this spreads, it’ll be the biggest joke ever! This is just too
Several people began to jeer at Harvey, intending to force him out once and for all.Of course, the men under Morgan Financial Group were leading the charge.Disrespecting Harvey was the equivalent to disrespecting Prince York himself, thus, they were extremely willing in their actions. “I’m giving you one last chance, Harvey! Kneel and beg for mercy. Admit your mistakes.”Third Master Yates wore a frosty stare. This was the ending he desired. To think just a few days ago, this arrogant live-in son-in-law actually dared to threaten the Yates of America, demanding them to kneel and beg for mercy at his home!Third Master Yates wanted this filth to kneel right before the many people present.“Third Master Yates, we’re not finished here.”With that said, Harvey turned and made his way out of the place.Yvonne and Ray exchanged glances before running after him.Moments after, loud laughter rang from inside the gymnasium.In the crowd’s eyes, Sky Corporation had failed to ach
As for why they went for Mandy, their reasoning was simple enough to understand.Buckwood’s Yateses had always been of the opinion that she was Prince York’s secret lover.In the end, the one who turned up to fight in the ring was Harvey.Butler Yates using Mandy to threaten Harvey was reasonable.If the Yateses of America truly did so for a mere victory in the ring, then they would’ve released Mandy by now. The fact that Mandy had yet to show up was proof that things weren’t so simple.“CEO, what’s going on? Who’s the one behind all this?”Tyson wore a distressed expression.All of the streets of South Light were under his control, and yet the perpetrator was still able to snatch Mandy away. Safe to say, the man behind all this was extremely powerful.“It’s probably the Yateses of America. They usually don’t leave any traces behind. The people who did this are playing it off as if they’re not connected to that family, at least in public.”“Tell your men to gather more infor
“Mandy, do you really think your live-in husband will give up that much of cash for a loose woman like you?” Zack snarled, casting Mandy a sidelong glance.Mandy frowned and shot him a livid glare. Bandages wrapped most of his body, covering his face and shielding his expression. But when he talked to Harvey earlier, Mandy saw through him.She hissed, “There’s no way you’re getting the money, Zack.”The once prideful Zack swayed the second Mandy called out his name. He instantly stoody up in anger.“No need to panic, I already guessed who you really are. Even if you refuse to admit it, what’s the point?”“Did you think Harvey couldn’t guess who you are as well?”“Zack Zimmer, you’re overconfident!”Zack’s expression fluctuated between different states. Finally, with a deep breath, he removed the bandages off of his face. Scar upon scar crisscrossed the skin of his face. Yet, his grin remained visible. He approached Mandy and spoke with a cold hiss. “So what if you’ve figur
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
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
