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
Rubert was only able to sigh in relief after kneeling for a long time.He raised his head to look at Harvey, trembling.The moment he confirmed Harvey’s face, he lowered his head in fear once more.“Are…are you alright?”His followers had no courage to look Harvey in the eye. Like Rubert, they were all trembling on the ground, completely terrified.Harvey replied calmly, “I’m fine, but the people from your country sure are bold.”“They had the gall to force my wife to sell Regency Enterprise.”“Then they dared to dirty my favourite shirt.”“Should I take all these as your country provoking me on purpose?”“No, no, no, no! Your Excellence! We mean no such thing! No such thing at all!”Rubert grovelled on the ground, filled with fear.“The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets does not allow this! There must be a fool here who’s causing a ruckus!”“I’ll be sure to give you a fair statement!”Rubert turned around as he knelt, sending a furious glare at those from Morgan Financial
What kind of identity did Harvey have?!Even the vice CEO of Morgan Financial Group was this scared of him!My God!Unbelievable!Nobody could even begin to guess Harvey’s identity.Harvey said calmly, “Forget it, don’t bring their family into this. Just let the person who caused all this to give me a statement. There’s no need to get other people involved.”“Yes! Of course! I’ll be sure to give you a fair statement! Please wait!”Charley crawled up and glared at Eddy, who was lying on the ground. “What is going on here? I let you be the representative of Morgan Financial Group so that you can earn us more benefits, not for you to stir up this much trouble!”“Do you understand that your actions today will cause the group to suffer unsurmountable losses? Maybe even drive us to complete bankruptcy?!”Eddy trembled in fear“This is unfair! Who is he?! Why can he just trample on me like this?!”“Unfair?!”Charley chuckled coldly. “You have no right to know this man’s identity!”
Later, Charley and Rubert swiftly left along with the rest of their people.The banquet fell into dead silence.Everyone was shivering to no end as they stared at Harvey, full of fear.They were not idiots.Harvey could easily suppress someone from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. Since that was the case, his words were enough to make everyone present lose everything.Harvey smiled and looked at Zach. His tone was cold. “I heard that you went out of your way to cause a ruckus on my wife’s worksite, Mr. Zach.”“Those were three old renovation projects approved by Yoel Graham himself. Did you suddenly attain the courage of the gods? You actually dared to halt the projects?”Cold sweat dripped from Zach’s head. He knew full well that the man in front of him had an extraordinary status.He even had the urge to kneel at this moment.But as a government official, he understood.He could not kneel no matter what! He had to fight for reason, even if he died trying.If not, his
Not long after, a car stopped at the entrance of Westin Hotel.A middle-aged man sporting a large belly walked gloomily out of the car.When Zach saw the man, he was filled with joy. He immediately rushed forward.“Father! You’re finally here! You must help me regain justice!”Zach’s father, Richard, carried a strong stench of alcohol. He was obviously drinking moments ago.He looked at Zach and asked, “Who is it?! How dare anyone disrespect me in Buckwood?!”Zach was still calm. He gestured at Harvey and whispered, “That’s him, Father. But his identity seems to be quite extraordinary.”“Extraordinary?”Richard sized up Harvey, then let out a derisive snort.“I’ve been working for the government for so many years. I’ve never seen a man as young as this with an extraordinary identity in the government!”“No matter how high a person’s status is, they’re all trash before government officials!”Zach received a burst of courage after hearing his father’s words.He initially assu
Boom!The words hit Zach like a strike of lightning, turning him weak.Richard trembled in fear, now completely sober.The father and son stared at Wesley in disbelief.Zach was fired…He was fired this easily?!Zach sank to the ground, his face pale. Richard soon returned to his senses. He snarled coldly, “Wesley, don’t forget that we have powerful people supporting the Braffs!”“Can you bear the consequences of firing my son so hastily?”Wesley, in return, glared daggers at Richard.“You have powerful people behind you? Richard, I ask you not to say their names! They’d just end up dead along with you!”“Wesley! You’re only the first-in-command of Buckwood’s housing system. Your status is equivalent to mine! How dare you threaten me?!”Richard flew into a fit of rage.“Threaten you?”Wesley chuckled coldly.He immediately called a number and said in a respectful tone, “Mr. Graham, I’ve arrived at the scene. I’ve already kicked the bug out of the housing system.”“But
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
