Mandy assumed that Harvey might have received his status as the government’s consultant for the investment and business engagement forum before. There wouldn’t be much use for this status after occasions such as this had passed.Looking back, she felt like she underestimated him.But Mandy did not say anything about it. In her eyes, Harvey’s status as consultant was remarkable only because Yoel Graham was supporting him.The real power came from Yoel, not Harvey. …At this moment… Star Chaebol was in their branch office in Buckwood.A group of higher ups were holding a meeting, their faces full of disbelief. “What’s going on here?”“What’s the government of Buckwood doing? How dare they detain Master Cam! Where did they get all their courage from?”A higher up slammed on the table, incredulous.When Star Chaebol was at the three northern provinces, forget trivialties like these; it did not even matter if they were involved with murder! They would just throw around money u
“Where’s my car?”Cam chuckled coldly, ready to enter his car.“Deputy Representative Cam, you might not be able to drive a car for the time being. Your license is still being suspended, and you’re still out on bail…”Dominic looked worried.Slap!Cam swung his backhand against Dominic’s face. He spat, “Are you teaching me how to do things, now?”“N-no…!”“It was just dumb luck that I got arrested! Who in Buckwood would actually dare to touch me again?”Cam held an icy expression.He had been in Buckwood for a few years now. He had always been arrogant and domineering. Never did he ever face humiliation such as this.Soon, a car came roaring out.Dominic smiled bitterly at the sight. He was a higher up in Star Chaebol, with thousands working under him. Yet in the end, he was a mere underling. Before Cam, he had no status whatsoever.At this moment, the representative of Star Chaebol in Country H, Peter Lee, gave a phone call.“I heard my son was arrested recently around Bu
“Alright, I’ll handle this myself.”Harvey went downstairs soon after. He looked for Sky Corporation’s security team leader, Marcus.“Marcus, come with me.”Marcus did not know that Harvey was actually Prince York, but their relationship had always been quite good.Marcus saw that Harvey was about to stir up something for someone and subconsciously asked, “Brother York, are you going out for work? Should I bring a few more of my men?”“No need. Just drive the car for me. Remember, you’re just a driver today,” Harvey told him.Buckwood had gone through some hardship recently. The investment and business engagement forum that was planned for a long while had to be halted because of the previous incidents.Hence, Harvey wanted to handle a trivial task such as this as discreetly as possible.…At the Golden Pond Mountain Villa.Inside a Taekwondo dojo.Cam changed into his Taekwondo uniform, a black belt wrapped around his waist.A black belt!This man, who looked like a rich
“A mere first-in-command of Buckwood is worthy to be someone’s support?”Cam chuckled coldly.“Since we’ve got everything straight, Harvey York can wait for his death. As for Yoel, send word to him. If he comes here to apologize, I’ll let go of everything.”“If not, then consider his position revoked!”“Of course, sir!” Dominic said excitedly.Since Cam now had a target to vent to, Dominic wouldn’t get dragged into the situation.“Deputy Representative Cam, should I bring Mandy Zimmer here first for you to enjoy her?”Dominic’s wretched expression leaked out.“Go, make it quick.”Cam laughed. This was his favourite hobby.Bang!Right at this moment, the doors of the Golden Pond Mountain Villa were kicked open.“Where’s Cam Lee? Tell him to show himself.”A voice echoed.In a split second, about ten men from Country J clad in Taekwondo uniforms sprang out.Harvey and Marcus stepped inside.“Deputy Representative Cam, he looks like Harvey York!” Dominic exclaimed as he gl
Harvey nodded.“You’ve got guts, but you’re using it in the wrong places.”“What?”“Are you mad?”“Are you going to challenge me now?”Cam grinned tauntingly.“Harvey, you’re just a consultant from the Buckwood government. You’re a puppy owned by Yoe!”“Maybe your privileges gave you the wrong idea. Did they make you feel that you can challenge me?”“Should I call you naive or oblivious?”Cam then pointed at all of the inspectors lying on the ground.“I’m warning you. Not only will you be beaten to the ground today, but these men’s injuries will be on you!”“Let me tally the numbers for you. The criminal charge of battery against officers should be enough for you to live the rest of your life behind bars!”Cam had only thought of this in the spur of the moment, but he found that the idea wasn’t so bad.It would be amusing to make Harvey be the scapegoat of Cam’s assault on the officers.Cam didn’t even have to think of the specifics of the plan. With his words alone, at l
“Beings that I can’t cross?”Slap!Harvey slapped Cam’s back, then gave another with his backhand.The slaps rang as loud as thunder in the empty dojo.“I crossed you. What are you going to do about it?”The slaps formed two palm prints on Cam’s face.But Harvey had no intention of stopping. He swung his hand across Cam’s face twice more.“Who do you think you are?”“You, threaten me?”“You’re no different than a stray dog in my eyes, and Star Chaebol is even less so!”“Do you honestly believe that Star Chaebol would dare to act even after I snap your neck?”Harvey swung his hand after he spoke, sending Cam flying a hefty distance across the dojo.Cam flew past an assortment of sporting equipment in the process. The whole scene was a huge mess.Harvey’s flurry of slaps had made everyone’s jaws drop.Even the bodyguards who were supposed to protect Cam could not come to their senses.They could not believe what they saw!Who was Cam Lee?The deputy representative of Sta
A Taekwondo blackbelt indeed possessed some strength.Seeing Cam’s performance, his lackeys all started to cheer for him and praised him to no end.“Harvey, it’s still early for you to kneel!”“Even Yoel and Yannick can’t help you today!”“Without those two behind you, you’re just an ordinary man in front of our deputy representative!”“You can’t even take one blow from him! Deputy Representative Cam is a blackbelt! One kick could turn your whole head crooked!”“Taekwondo is the best martial art in the world when it comes to killing! How could someone like you even understand?”‘The best martial art for killing?’Harvey gave a smile full of ridicule. From what he knew, Taekwondo is the worst martial art out of the martial arts that he knew of.Forget Muay Thai; Taekwondo can be easily beaten if a person practices mixed martial arts.But Cam didn’t share this opinion. The black belt he had gave him immense courage. He marched toward Harvey with a cold expression, his gaze fill
Dominic couldn’t accept the reality before him.Cam’s lackeys could not accept it, either!Even Marcus, who came with Harvey, found this whole thing hard to believe!Cam was trembling with anger.He wanted to take action himself and turn Harvey into minced meat, but he never imagined that Harvey would simply slap him into oblivion.His dignity was being trampled at this very moment!Cam was distressed and upset. He glared at Harvey, exclaiming furiously, “You snuck up on me again?!”“You’re shameless!”Dominic and the others let out a sigh of relief after hearing that it was a sneak attack, acting as if they understood what happened.No wonder Cam would get hit like that! The filth, Harvey, went for a sneak attack!How shameless of him to land an attack like that in an actual fight!“Bah!”But before they could even start to insult Harvey, Harvey already went ahead for another hard slap.Slap!The stern and fierce look on Cam disappeared when he was sent flying once more.
In the end, Journi took a deep breath and buried all her helplessness and fury deeper into her heart. Then, she slowly said, "You must be joking, Ms. Isis. You are the daughter of the Sherril Corp from Country A. No matter how bold I am, I wouldn't dare to cross you. However, I simply wish for you to show some mercy…"To thank you, I'm willing to give you some of the assets in Country A I owe you for free as my gift. I believe you won't make it difficult for me, right?"Journi thought she had already lowered herself to the point that she was practically begging Isis to show her mercy. At this point, she even felt that she was giving up. She even forgot that she had Harvey pretend to be her boyfriend.Harvey was pleased, however. Instead of using an excuse like having a boyfriend, she was willing to accept other conditions in exchange for her freedom. This was a sign that she was maturing."Tsk… Assets from Country A? The few mansions you bought on the West Coast?" Isis lit a cigare
Journi ignored Drake, who was threatening her, and simply stared at Isis. "Isis, we're all part of the elite society. In this community, there are rules for everything. If I'm willing, you can do whatever you want. If I'm willing, I hope you can show me some respect so we can all preserve our dignity."Slap!Isis suddenly stood up and slapped Journi's face. "You little witch! Do you think your dignity is worth anything here? Do you think I need to preserve my dignity? Are you stupid? Not even your father has the right to speak to me like this, and you most definitely don't."The sudden slap stunned Journi. Finally, she managed to compose herself, gritted her teeth, and said, "Isis, are you trying to fight me until the end?"Isis made a hand gesture when she heard that voice. Instantly, dozens of brutal mutants came near. Each of them looked at Journi with a cold expression."Until the end, you say?" sighed Isis as she shook her head. "Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. You
Harvey's expression was becoming even colder. He had a new understanding about the "Madman", the third Young Master of Wolsing. If he was willing to humiliate a woman like that, it meant that he was not of good character."Alright, Drake. I told you not to provoke my Journi. Why are you still threatening her? Aren't you just making things hard for me?" Isis retorted, and then she looked at Journi with heartache. "I'm so sorry, Journi. He's only doing this for our future. No matter what, I owe you an apology on his behalf. Please don't keep this against him. Come, clean your face a little."And then, Isis picked up the towel she had used before and threw it in front of Journi. Journi narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to commit. However, she managed to suppress everything in the end. She had to remind herself she had other objectives for appearing here today.Regardless, she had to see if she could succeed.Journi slowly stood up, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Isis. "Thank you."
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
