“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.
“You bastard! How dare you touch me?! I’ll never let you go! Star Chaebol will never let you off the hook!”Cam was boiling with never before seen fury. He was the deputy representative of the Star Chaebol, for crying out loud! Never had he stoop this low!Shame aside, he felt that he had been robbed.Harvey crouched and calmly asked, “Could they?”“Harvey! You bastard!”“Kill me if you have what it takes!” Cam exclaimed furiously when he sensed Harvey’s disdain toward him.“Kill you? Why would I do that?”“I came here for your debt, not your life.”“in my eyes, you should live to pay the price instead of escaping punishment by dying. How’s that sound for you?”Harvey smiled.“You rammed into my wife’s car. Since you don’t know how to use the pedals in your car, I’ll break your legs as a lesson. That sounds fine, right?”“Harvey, enough!”Dominic could not bear to see the sight any longer.He couldN’t just watch as Cam was about to get his legs broken.If that happened, t
“You should stop what you’re doing! Grovel and apologize to the deputy representative. Listen to his request, and then pay the debt by sending your wife to him!”“You can have your life back if you do as he says!”“I guarantee you. I’ll ask the deputy representative to let you go if you do just that!”“Harvey, the deputy representative isn’t as simple as you think. The power of Star Chaebol isn’t something that you’d understand, either…”Dominic was bitterly advising Harvey.Crack!Yet, Harvey snapped Cam’s right leg in half with just one move of his foot.“Not simple? What do you mean by that?”Even the arrogant and unyielding Cam could not hold in his cry of pain.Cam wanted to roll on the ground, but had not even the strength to do so.“You…!”Dominic was stunned.He had said everything for Harvey’s sake, but why didn’t this man listen?He went ahead to do something like this! Was he trying to kill himself?!Dominic stomped on the ground, boiling with anger.“Harvey Y
Harvey trampling on Cam’s hand was equal to trampling on Rick’s dignity.Harvey beating Cam up was already quite a shocking sight for everyone.But Harvey daring to deliver another blow when one of the Eight Heavenly Kings in Star Chaebol of Country H showed up was another thing entirely. This was not just a simple fight for pride. Harvey never cared about Star Chaebol from the beginning.A young man who looked like he was in his twenties actually dared to challenge such a powerful company. In the crowd’s eyes, it was no different than him courting death.Some even felt that Harvey had chosen his burial spot.No matter what, Harvey destroying Cam’s hand made Dominic and those from Star Chaebol’s faces as stiff as a rock. Rick’s expression was now utterly horrible.Those who would still provoke the opposition even under these circumstances were either idiots, or had immense support. Harvey didn’t seem like he would be the former.Rick’s eyes twitched. It didn’t matter if he was
The light in the Taekwondo dojo was not very clear, and this, Greg couldn’t get a proper look at Harvey’s face.He exclaimed with a deep voice, “Trespassing property, assaulting…Right! And battery against officers! Do you care about the law?!”“Take him away! Shoot him on the spot if he resists!”Harvey’s smile grew wider, and it carried a hint of scorn.He glared at Greg, but when he spoke, his voice was calm. “Mr. Finch, these men on the ground with broken arms and legs are all your comrades. Aren’t you going to ask about what had happened?”“Can you bear the responsibility of falsely charging me with battery against officers?”“I don’t need you to teach me how to do things!”“You committed crimes of trespassing and assaulting! I, as the second-in-command of Buckwood Police Station, have the responsibility of taking you back for investigation!”“If you spout nonsense again, I’ll shoot you on the spot!”Greg marched forward, preparing to hit Harvey.Right when his hand was a
“That’s it?” Harvey said coldly, his eyes scornful.Slap!Greg immediately kneeled to the ground. He gritted his teeth and laid his head low. “I’m sorry! It was my fault!”Harvey’s cold gaze softened slightly. However, his voice was harsh. “Get out of my sight!”Greg quickly left with his men, his face utterly wretched.The sight turned Rick and his men solemn.Nobody imagined that the second-in-command of Buckwood Police would be scared off by Harvey! Greg wouldn’t even dare to fight back after taking a few slaps in the face!“It seems like our legendary consultant here has some capabilities, after all!”Seeing how Greg had run away with his tail between his legs, Rick then turned to Harvey with a humorless laugh.“But I do have to warn you. No matter who you are, no matter who you have behind you, Star Chaebol will never let you off the hook after you laid your hands on the deputy representative!”“Since the inspectors of Country H can’t keep you in check, I’ll be responsib
"Or maybe you're thinking that after working a little bit harder for a while, you'll be able to leave the country and live under the radar. Then, you can go to Country A and live the life you want? Your parents have already been sent over, right?"No matter what happens, Dan treats those who work for him well. But… There's something I don't understand. You're willing to leave your home permanently just because he treats you well? You're willing to give him your undying loyalty just like that? Is it worth it?" Harvey asked as he put his cup of latte down on the table with a curious expression.The ordinary young woman shuddered slightly before raising her head. She gave Harvey a look and said, "Are you talking to me, sir? Do we know each other?"Harvey smiled. "We don't, but I'm pretty sure you know me. Or should I say… It's exactly because you know me that you went to Country A and persuaded Royce to come to Wolsing. Whether it's the 150 million dollars given to Lilian or lying to X
The next day…What happened to Geraldton Hotel was being reported on the news. It was about how an underground criminal empire in Wolsing was being swept by the authorities. Harvey didn't expect things to go so out of hand. At the same time, he now knew that no matter what the Yates of Country A wanted to do, they wouldn't be able to make any moves in the short term after what happened.There was another rumor that Kyros alone had borne the brunt of the crimes for the Wright family. The Wrights of Wolsing had removed his name from the family and that was enough to settle things. They were also not part of the media report.It was easy for one to see that a compromise had been reached by all the factions involved. Otherwise, if the Wrights of Wolsing really wanted to get involved, no one could estimate how this would develop.Just as Harvey was reading the news, his phone buzzed. Yvonne's stern voice came from the other side. "Sir, I've managed to investigate everything clearly.
Just as Harvey was thinking about who was behind this, his phone suddenly started to buzz. He picked it up—there was only one message."Interesting," Harvey said with a deep smile as he read it. "It's George. After his investigation, the one leading the task force has a really clean background. However, when he was at university, he was fully sponsored by a charity fund belonging to the Jeans of Mordu."After his graduation, the speed he gets promoted is also much faster than his peers around the same age. No matter how I looked at it, someone had been giving him a boost. However, is this the result of Mandy going over to Purdue Mountain? It doesn't look like Zayden, as the patriarch of one of the top ten families, wants to calm things down…"Feels like he wants to make things even worse. How is this going to benefit the Jeans of Mordu?"Yvonne narrowed her eyes slightly. "At the very least," she said, "there are two ways they can benefit from this. Firstly, it's to clarify their
The next day.The estate in the third ring of Wolsing.Harvey had originally planned to go to Mordu at night when Mandy called him. She told him everything that happened in Geraldton Hotel had been settled. Zayden's side would make a move and demand a direct explanation from them for what happened.Harvey was quite shocked when he heard this.The leader of the Jeans of Mordu had been too discreet, so much so that this was the first time he heard about this name. But the problem was, Harvey didn't believe that the Jeans of Mordu who had been making things difficult for Mandy all this while would suddenly make a move without cause.However, Mandy kept on telling Harvey that everything was over. She would keep Xynthia in Mordu for a few more days. Once the dust had settled, she would then send Xynthia back to Wolsing.Hearing Mandy so confident with herself, Harvey decided not to say anything else. That being said, he still her Mandy that if anything happened, she must tell him imme
"In other words, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it," Zayden said. "As for the Ninth Branch, that's the fruit of your labor. At least, I don't see anyone has the right to replace you as the head. Unless you have made a very serious mistake, your status as the head of the Ninth Branch is guaranteed. Remember, never say something like giving up your spot as the head ever again."Top families like the Jeans of Mordu have their own rules. There are certain positions that can't be taken just because you wanted to, and there are those that you can't leave just as easily as well."Mandy was stunned after she heard Zayden's criticism of her. Then, she nodded. "Understood. Thank you for your lesson, sir. I will do everything I can in the service of the family."Mandy wasn't that surprised to see that Zayden was willing to make a personal appearance. Since Kyros didn't show any respect to the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden needed to make a show of force once things reached thi
After about half an hour, Mandy finally saw figures appearing at the entrance. She grew a little uneasy. She put down the phone that she was using to work, and stood up."Ms. Mandy, Mr. Zayden is now ready to see you." Ms. Judd smiled and signaled Mandy to come with her. The estate might look quite small, but in actual fact, the entire land surrounding it was considered part of the estate. Without someone leading the way, no one could find their destination.Very quickly, Ms. Judd took Mandy to the Storm Pavilion in the garden. This place was quite warm, and it made Mandy feel quite relaxed. In the middle of the pavilion was a table with several plated snacks. They were all things that could be found in the countryside, like peanuts and carrots. Other than that, there was a bowl of barley.A man around fifty years of age was just getting ready to eat when he raised his head and smiled at Mandy. "Why are you here, Mandy? Aren't you supposed to be in Wolsing handling the Ninth Bra
Purdue Mountain, Mordu.A brand new Mercedes-Maybach drove into an ancient estate on the hill of the mountain. As it was close to the ocean and the temperature quickly dropped during the fall season, other than some coldness from late autumn, the estate also carried a certain frigidity.Mandy got out of the car wearing a thin jacket, looking at the ancient structures within the estate. Some of them were centuries old, and no one could tell how long they had existed. However, the buildings looked like they were newly constructed. The Jeans of Mordu would renovate and repair the buildings once every three months, as well as install the newest technology.Just that alone was evidence of how important this place was for the Jeans of Mordu. The truth was that this was the residence of the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden. He had been extremely discreet these past years.Normally, the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu would stay here. All his words and actions would decide the ent
"You…" Royce gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Harvey. However, he knew that Harvey did this intentionally to take revenge against them, giving him a so-called choice. Harvey did it to completely humiliate both him and Kyros.Harvey also wanted to use this matter to create a crack in the Wright of Wolsing and the Yates of Country A's relationship during their honeymoon period. The problem was, Royce didn't have a choice. If Harvey truly decided to do whatever he wanted, then both he and Kyros would be in deep trouble.Royce gritted his teeth for a long time before finally slowly bending his knee and said, "I'm sorry…"Harvey immediately raised his foot and kicked Royce to the floor. "I know you're not sincere in your apologies, but I'll still accept it with mercy. But remember—if you want to do something in the future, do it for me. If you do anything to the people close to me again, even your gods can't protect you."And then, Harvey grabbed Xynthia's hand and left. H
As the leader of the top ten families, the Wrights of Wolsing had their own duties and responsibilities. They needed to maintain the high and mighty image of the top families in the hearts of the commoners.Once this was fully exposed, perhaps the people from the precinct and Dragon Cell wouldn't take any action against the Wright family, but Emery might personally eliminate him in the name of justice to protect the family's reputation.Since Emery hadn't truly become the leader of the family yet, Sienna was still present to challenge him.If Harvey really decided to reveal this without a care, then Sienna would use this chance to make things worse for Emery. Especially during an inner struggle, a microscale change can sometimes cause a big enough change.Of course, the most important part of this was that Kyros worried this would really affect Emery's ascension. That was more important than Harvey's wanton actions.Even Royce's expression also became pale. It was true that he was
