Harvey York looked at the list of names. There were three out of the ten top families in Country H that signed up.They were, respectively, the John family from the Golden Sands in seventh place.The Jean family from Mordu in ninth place.The Xavier family from Wolsing in tenth place.Other than that, a plethora of large enterprises and big corporations had signed up as well.Besides, some powerhouses from overseas, like Morgan Financial Group, were making a strong comeback.But those people had brought business visas this time. Based on the submitted information, it seemed like they were prepared to conduct actual business.After looking at the information, Harvey decided not to cancel the names of those overseas powerhouses.After all, if those people were to invest in Buckwood, he would gladly welcome them.Of course, if they were to come to cause a stir, Harvey could easily send them to their demise.When Harvey was taking his short break, a staff member hurried over and
At Buckwood Hotel.Sasha Larson had called over most of the idolizers at this moment. All of them gathered together to strategize how they could acquire the research project ahead of time the next day.Consultant York had already agreed to meet, after all. Sasha would surely be given a chance. With her way of doing things, how could she even pass up on such a good opportunity?“Oh, Sasha. You’re so capable!”“A lot of people don’t even have a chance to meet Consultant York ahead of time!”“But I didn’t think that he would choose to meet with you alone!”“Tell me, is Consultant York longing for Sasha’s good looks? If so, we must all go there to protect her!”The idolizers were filled with righteousness as if they would beat up anybody who was trying to make a move on Sasha.Sasha’s heart was filled with pride after hearing those people’s words.She showed a humble smile.“All of you! Stop spouting nonsense!“Consultant York is a prominent character. How could he possibly look
“Right, Sasha, there’s also something good that I haven’t told you yet!”“I heard that because of Harvey York, Regency Enterprise had gotten a lot of people returning the property they bought! There are even cash flow problems right as we speak!”“All the higher-ups in Regency Enterprise have strong opinions now, saying that they won’t go to work anymore if Mandy didn’t kick Harvey out and speak clearly about him and the people working for the company!”“Maybe Regency Enterprise would have a chance to be recorded in history as the first company that’s bankrupt because of a live-in son-in-law!”Right at this moment, one of Sasha’s lackeys reported another affair.“One blessing after another, I see!”Sasha felt delighted. She thought that it was worth coming to Buckwood this time.First, she might just be married into a wealthy family if she could meet Counselor York.Besides, it could not be any better if she could deal with Harvey to the point where he was forced to kill himse
On the next day.Buckwood Exhibition Center was in full swing to prepare for the forum.There had already been more than a thousand businesses that signed up to attend the forum.It was safe to say that this would be one of the biggest investment and business engagement forums ever to be held at Country H.Sasha Larson and her co-workers had arrived at the exhibition center early in the morning.“Sasha, I’m already in Buckwood. I’ll be going to meet Consultant York with Tim Zepeda from Buckwood Education System. You must seize the opportunity!“Other than the man, you must acquire the research project as well!”The deputy dean of Mordu University, Sasha’s godfather, Percy Williams, gave her a phone call.“Rest assured, Godfather. I’ll complete my mission!“There is no man in the world that I can’t get!”Sasha was joyfully making her look more beautiful at this moment.She had always been confident about her good looks.Her idolizers were showing admiration at this moment as
They had constantly been trying to defame this man with all their power.The king of all kept men in Buckwood was a title that they made up for him.In their eyes, Harvey York was no better than a street rat trembling in a corner, waiting for an opportunity to leave Buckwood.But Harvey was actually in the exhibition center!And he was standing with the deputy dean!Sasha Larson’s brain was literally fried. She subconsciously shouted at this moment, “Harvey, you filth! What are you doing here?! This isn’t someplace where you can just come to!”Everyone was dead silent after hearing her words.The staff members all tilted their heads up and glared at Sasha with an unbelievable expression, as if she did something heinous.Sasha felt chills crawl up her spine after feeling everyone's gaze.An unbelievable thought popped up in her head!At this moment, a staff member immediately walked up to her from the side and whispered, “Representative Larson, what are you saying?! He’s the a
Sasha Larson came back to her senses after being kicked around on the ground.She screamed horribly, “Godfather, please stop! Please stop! It hurts!”Percy Williams trembled even harder after hearing Sasha call him that. He immediately grabbed Sasha by the neck, lifted her up, and then constantly slapped her across the face.“Who’s your godfather?! Huh?!“Who’s your godfather?!“I’ll beat you to death if you keep on spouting nonsense!”Percy knew that he would be finished if he showed that he had relations with Sasha.Percy stopped his hand after a long while. Sasha’s cute little face was utterly ruined.She was twitching on the ground helplessly at this moment. Blood and tears were forming on the corners of her eyes.She never thought that Harvey York had an identity like this.If she knew, she would indulge him every chance she had! She would not even dare to offend him!But Harvey had no intention of letting the “father and daughter” off the hook.At that moment, he said
Since the man had spoken, he had no other choice but to cooperate.Mordu University had sent out an emergency message soon after apologizing to the citizens publicly and cleared Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer’s family name.At the same time, Sasha Larson was exposed using her good looks to do unspeakable things with the deputy dean of Mordu University, her so-called Godfather.Sasha was expelled from Mordu University.Percy was expelled as well.Both of them had a big fight in front of the university. Both of them also sustained severe injuries.But because of their notoriety, both of them turned into street rats. Nobody even bothered to send them to a hospital.Nobody even batted an eye even after they were lying on the ground for quite a while. They could only struggle to stand back up on their own in the end, limping to the hospital for treatment.After that, the duo had disappeared without a trace. It was said that they lived miserable lives.***Right when the investment a
At Buckwood Hotel.A few representatives of big businesses from Mordu gathered together. One of the men leading the group was Charlie Gibbs.He was standing on the side of a wine table at this moment while speaking respectfully on the phone.“Master Todd, rest assured. We remember what you asked of us!”“We’ll make sure to film a spectacular movie tonight. This woman will be robbed of her standing and reputation!”Charlie was showing an evil smirk.The Jean family actually controlled the few businesses that came from Mordu from behind the scenes.Todd Jean had given them orders last night. Charlie and the others would naturally do as he asked.After Charlie hung up the phone, he started to chug yogurt along with the other representatives. Yogurt is used to cure hangovers, and it has proven to be quite effective.Around half an hour later, the members of Regency Enterprise pushed the door and came inside.Charlie showed a sullen face while standing in front when he saw many pe
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
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
