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
Sean was living in a village now, and without his son by his side, he became a constant target for the local gangsters.The second the door was kicked down, Sean assumed that the gangsters had shown up again.But when he realized that it was Harvey instead, rage filled Sean’s face. He roared, “What are you doing here?!”To Sean, had it not been for Harvey’s constant troublemaking, the Zimmers wouldn't have fallen into bankruptcy.Harvey was the reason the Zimmers ended up in squalor.Harvey strode toward Sean with a face colder than ice. He demanded with a red glare, “Where’s your son?”Sean only chuckled in reply.“Harvey, you’ve become so arrogant now. You think you can just disregard the law when your wife, Mandy, becomes chairman or something?”“Don’t forget, I’m still your elder!”“What right do you have to be arrogant in front of me?! You’re disobedient!”Harvey snarled, “I’m very impatient right now. Let me ask you again, where is Zack Zimmer?!”Sean fell into a fit o
Drake shrugged nonchalantly and said to Journi, "I don't care whether you want to kneel, but you know my nickname well."As they spoke, Drake's right finger was already starting to pull the trigger.Journi gritted her teeth, but in the end, she slowly bent the knee. Harvey was stunned as he was going to make his move. There was surprise in his eyes. All these men and women from high society had their own pride. He did not expect her to be able to be so flexible in a time like this. She deserved his praise!"Tsk. Aren't you a princess? Aren't you always prideful? Don't they call you a goddess?" Drake looked at Journi disdainfully when he saw her kneel. He patted Journi's hand with a sneer. "You've always despised me, haven't you? Why are you kneeling before me now?"If it isn't because Ms. Isis desired you, do you think I'll let you kneel here? You're just a daughter from some second-rate top family. You think you're untouchable, and you want to go against us? Do you think you're an
Hearing Drake's words, Journi coldly said, "Drake, are you stupid? Do you know who you are? Are you threatening me? Ruin my face, then. Show me if you can actually bear the consequences of your action!"Journi was quite fearless. Besides Harvey being right next to her, it was also because Journi was sure Drake would not dare to do anything to her. She was a member of the Stanton family, after all. While the Stanton family was not one of the top ten families or one of the five hidden families, they were still one of the top families.If they butted heads and went all out, it would never end well for both sides."Ha! Don't think I didn't know Emery is no longer interested in you," Drake waved his hand, and four brawny men walked out, their eyes locked on Harvey and Journi."I gave you some respect in the past because Emery wanted you, so I did it for his sake. Do you really think you mean anything? And now? Who do you think you are? So what if I tell you to kneel and call her Queen?
Just when Harvey was giving Isis a good look, Jouni could not help but yelp as if she had discovered something novel. "Drake Ward? Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be back in the Northern Lands?"Harvey looked at Isis and instantly frowned. Then, his eyes turned to the man sitting opposite Isis. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had a buzz cut. He was also covered in tattoos and looked very aggressive. Most importantly, he was the only man from Country H who could be on the same level as all these foreigners here.And the way he looked at Isis was one of unrestrained aggression. However, despite clearly noticing that, Isis did not say anything else. That also explained the man's high status because, typically speaking, someone like Isis would definitely kill any man who gave her those looks."Drake Ward?" Harvey was curious. "Why does this name sound so familiar?""Of course it is," Journi replied coldly. "He belonged to one of the five hidden families, the Ward family o
Since the other side wanted to drop all pretenses, he also could do it his way. They lived in an era when fighting fire with fire was the only way to go. The man's expression froze, somewhat darkened. He did not expect this man to be the current chairman of Country H Commercial Group, which meant he had bitten off more than he could ever chew. If he had known, he would not have wasted his breath.But from how calm Harvey was, he could tell that Harvey was definitely someone who would honor his threats. If Harvey really did take this to Elric, then it would simply make everyone look bad. Even if they were sure this place had nothing to do with the commercial group, who would they complain to when Harvey locked all the exits?The moment that thought crossed the man's mind, he could only say with a straightened expression, "I see that you're the chairman, Mr. Harvey. If that's the case, please come in. My master wanted to meet you for a long time."When Journi saw the man had taken a
"True, this is not our territory," the man said with a smile, "but since Mr. Stanton rented this place to us, this place is under our management for the time being. When he rented us this place, we made a promise. Other than the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group, only the guests that we designated can enter this place. "Even gods will have to follow this rule. Not only are you trying to make it hard for us, but you're also making it hard for your father. I believe you won't make it difficult for us, right?The man gave Journi a meaningful smile. A woman who came to his master after submitting herself to him didn't have anything to be proud of.Journi's expression darkened. "What if I said this man is my boyfriend?""Boyfriend?" The man smiled. "He can't enter even if he's your husband. But I know you people like to break the rules all the time. If you want to force your way through, then we'll act accordingly."The man clapped; instantly, eight powerful-built men walked
The next day, eight o'clock in the evening… Harvey got into a car, and Journi was waving at him with a smile. In the past two days, Journi didn't interrupt him and Yvonne, and simply let them clean up everything that had happened earlier.Once it was almost done, only then did Journi ask Harvey to do as he promised and pretend to be her boyfriend.According to Journi, the man from Country A who liked her was becoming worse and worse. One time, he even went to the female toilet and she almost lost her innocence. All she wanted was for Harvey to deal with this properly.Originally, Harvey didn't want to make a move. When he heard how improper the man acted, he was furious and agreed to Journi's request. However, Journi said that this couldn't be taken care of using force alone. She hoped Harvey would go and meet him and settle this peacefully. This would be good for both sides.Originally, Harvey was going to ask Tyson to immediately teach that man a lesson. But since Journi requ
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
