Mandy still vividly remembered what happened at the resort before.Harvey narrowed his eyes, struck by the sinking feeling that something bad was about to happen.Morgan Financial Group had been extremely discreet recently, and hadn’t done anything out of line. Due to this, Harvey didn’t bother to pay them any mind. Yet tonight, Eddy was made the banquet’s main character!Interesting.“CEO Zimmer, this is what you don’t know. Morgan Financial Group was built in The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets through the real estate industry. They have properties in Hong Kong and Las Vegas, and all of them are selling like hotcakes!”“Morgan Financial Group has shown interest in a piece of Buckwood’s land. They’re prepared to start development on it.”“If they actually carried out their plans, then all of us present might need to cling to Morgan Financial Group to survive!”“Who else is worthy of the title of tonight’s main character other than the company’s representative?”“People lik
“What?! She’s Tracy Flores?!”The mention of this name baffled the many men present.Tracy was a renowned dancing beauty who had gained popularity on an online platform for the past few months. After her claim to fame, it was said that she had received many advertising offers. She was considered someone many men longed for, but ultimately untouchable.Yet someone like her actually followed Eddy, and he didn’t even bother knowing her name? They shot gazes of admiration, jealousy, and hatred towards Eddy.Tracy’s face went ice-cold when she saw that there were some who recognized her. She seemed to bear no fondness for foreigners. Dexter approached Eddy for an enthusiastic handshake. “Do you still remember me, Mr. Eddy? We’ve met before! I was the one who handled your company’s credentials…”“Mr. Holt. Of course I remember. Please drop by Morgan Financial Group headquarters for tea when you have the time,” Eddy said.Eddy only said that out of basic courtesy, but it was enough
Mandy frowned. She wasn’t stupid.How could someone from the Morgan Financial Group not know about what happened last time?What good could come out of Eddy calling her over?However, beggars can’t be choosers…As Mandy was about to stand up, Harvey reached out his hand to stop her. He said calmly, “ Morgan Financial Group means nothing. What right do they have to force my wife to greet them?”“Are they even worthy?”Just like that, everyone’s attention was now glued on Harvey.The words that came out of Mandy’s live-in husband stunned them completely. ‘That’s Morgan Financial Group he’s talking about!’‘How dare someone be this disrespectful towards Morgan Financial Group in front of so many people?! How could he say that?!’‘He’s trying to get himself killed!’Everyone glared at Harvey, as though he was a complete and utter fool.Zach was boiling with anger. He glared at Harvey and shot furiously, “CEO Zimmer! What is wrong with your husband?”“He won’t pay his respects
Eddy’s eyes blazed with anger as he glared at Harvey, who remained seated.He was a duke in The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, and enjoyed a prestigious status. Yet this monkey from Country H dared to ignore him!His anger rose tenfold when he saw Mandy and Tassa next to Harvey. Both women were far more attractive than Tracy, who was standing beside him.Not only were they elegant, but their figures were unmatched and they exuded a genteel aura.Tracy herself was quite beautiful, but she looked too much like a loose hussy. Eddy still felt content when he looked at her, but as soon as he saw Mandy and Tassa, he immediately started comparing Tassa with them.The guests present knew that things won’t end peacefully when they saw the fire in Eddy’s eyes. Zach glared coldly at Harvey.This live-in son-in-law really was looking to get himself killed!‘Doesn’t he realize that he has the worst status here?’‘He actually dared to provoke Mr. Eddy in such a way?!’‘If he’s n
Mandy took a deep breath. Her face had lost some color. She took a look at the contract and immediately frowned.This was the second time someone wanted to get ahold of Regency Enterprise.The Jeans from Mordu had already given her quite a lot of pressure before.Morgan Financial Group had increased the pressure tenfold.“I’ll give you three minutes to consider this. It’s up to you to sign the contract or not.”“But if you don’t sign, bear in mind that Morgan Financial Group will never allow someone that insulted the company off the hook!”Eddy laughed coldly.His bodyguards stepped forward with expressions as cold as ice, as if to go along with Eddy’s declaration. Their bloodlust was all too evident, enough to freeze the entire crowd with just one simple movement.Dead silence filled the venue. Everyone was holding their breath, and not a single puff of air slipped out.They all knew that it would do no good to offend Morgan Financial Group.They turned to Mandy, their faces
Harvey ignored everyone, and instead glanced at his clothes.“My wife gave me this shirt. I’m very fond of it.”“I’m angry right now, but I’m giving you a chance. Tell the ambassador of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to come kneel and apologize to me. If not, I won’t let you off the hook until all of our grievances have been avenged!”“What?! The ambassador of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets?!”His words had utterly shocked everyone present.Everyone was dumbfounded.After ten whole seconds, the crowd came back to their senses.“Harvey, are you mad? Do you know what that means?”“You want the ambassador of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to kneel and apologize to you? Dare you accept the apology?”“If word spreads, this will be considered a diplomatic dispute!”“You’re mad! You’re actually insane!”“Are you even worthy?! You’re just a live-in son-in-law! You don’t have the right, even if you were supported by Prince York himself!”Zach and the others were
Harvey threw out a kick, immediately breaking Eddy’s knee.Eddy let out a scream akin to a pig being slaughtered, and fell into a kneel before Harvey.Slap!Harvey then made his way to Tracy and slapped her so hard until she collapsed to the ground. The slap was so powerful, it seemed to have turned her face crooked.In no less than a minute, the two who had openly flaunted their pride were now brought to a kneel before Harvey.“Harvey? Do you know what you’re doing?! You just hit someone from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets! You’re looking to get yourself killed!”“Harvey, you’re insane!”Zach and Dexter’s sights turned black. Even if they wanted to stop Harvey, they had no courage to do so. Harvey turned to gaze calmly at them. Then, he casually grabbed a wine bottle on the table.Shatter!The sound of glass breaking rang out as the wine bottle burst into pieces. Eddy’s head was now dripping with copious amounts of blood, and his body was swaying all over.“I’ll sma
Harvey chuckled.“Why should we run?”“I’m still waiting for the ambassador from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to come and apologize.”“...”In under ten minutes, a luxurious car bearing a diplomatic license appeared in front of Westin Diner.Several men immediately rushed out from the car, heading straight to the box on the third floor.Eddy’s spirits were lifted when he heard the echo of leather boots outside.Zach and Dexter, among many others, grew exhilarated.A group of tall and strong western-looking men with blonde hair and blue eyes stormed inside.They wore layers and layers of clothing, and some even had fake white hair on.The one leading the group was a middle-aged western man. One look was enough to discern that he had been to war. He carried a powerful aura with him.He was none other than the ambassador of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, Viscount Rubert, in the flesh.He had another identity attached to his name, and that was the ex-vice comma
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
