Mandy Zimmer walked up and shook the young ladies’ hands, then smiled and introduced Harvey York to everyone.“This is my husband, Harvey.“Darling, let me introduce you.“This is Stacy Leo of the Leo family from Hong Kong. Even though Miss Leo is just a collateral relative, she is quite an influential woman. She came here this time to expand the market of Buckwood…“This here is Rae Flynn from Hong Kong’s Flynn family…“This here is…”Mandy introduced each and every one of those young ladies in a single breath.Harvey realized that those ladies were all from the four top-rated families from Hong Kong. Or rather, they had quite a lot of connections with the four top-rated families.Harvey took a closer look at Stacy and confirmed that there were no plans that were laid by Quinton York. It should have been a sheer coincidence that Mandy met her somehow.Without a second thought, Harvey smiled out of respect and said, “Hello, I’m Harvey. Nice to meet you all.”Stacy sized up Ha
Harvey York did not expose Brock Park’s weak identity for Mandy Zimmer’s sake. He then politely greeted the crowd, “Nice to see you.”“You’re Mandy’s live-in husband? I heard that both of you have been married for three years, but you haven’t even slept with her!”After the small talk, Brock was sizing up Harvey with a cold gaze in his eyes.“Use my name when you get in trouble around Buckwood next time. I’ll cover for you.”‘I’ll cover for you if you get in trouble around Buckwood.’Brock Park, who came from Country J, was boasting as if this is his country. It was as if he’s in control of everything here.Stacy Leo and Rae Flynn were shyly chuckling along with the others and said, “As expected of Sir Park to be this domineering.”Harvey then replied calmly, “Thanks, but no thanks.”Harvey looked at Mandy after his speech. He felt like there was no need to waste time and do this so-called business with Brock. He would rather go for a stroll with his wife.Because no matter ho
At this moment, Brock Park shifted his gaze toward Stacy Leo.Stacy then immediately clutched Mandy Zimmer’s hand, not letting her go.“Oh, Mandy. Everyone’s just kidding around. There’s no need to be this mad! Do you want me to apologize in Sir Park’s place?”Harvey York looked at Stacy and was about to say something, but Mandy cut him off calmly before he could even speak.“No matter how bad he’s living his life, he is still the consultant for the government of Buckwood.”Everyone felt indifferent after hearing those words.The people were either from Country J or Hong Kong. They would naturally not know the authority that a consultant in Country H represented.But after seeing Mandy’s grim face, Rae Flynn then swiftly tried to mediate the situation.“Alright, alright, we’re all here to have a good time tonight. Let’s grab a nice drink for this occasion. Go, bring the Ace of Spades that I saved here!”Rae then winked at one of Brock’s followers, Curtis Park, after her speech
“Let me tell you all something. Master Steve is the son of Star Chaebol’s representative. He’s also good at literature and martial arts. He’s quite the capable man!“Now that he’s here, it shouldn’t take long before Buckwood, or maybe the entire South Light’s market, is under Star Chaebol’s control!“Regency Enterprise will surely take off if you’re willing to work with the Star Chaebol. It wouldn’t be too big of a problem to be one of the listed groups too!”Brock Park was showing a face full of pride, even more so when he talked about Steve Lee himself.According to Brock, Steve was Country J’s true pride and joy. Not a lot of people from Country H could even compare to a big character such as this.Right when Brock was talking up a storm, his follower, Curtis Park, finally brought the Ace of Spades there while showing a face that had unfinished business.Rae Flynn glared at Curtis and asked, “What’s the hold-up?! Everyone’s waiting for the drink!”Rae immediately started to d
“Of course I am!”Brock Park waved his hand while showing an intoxicated face.“Even though Steve Lee is powerful, how long can he possibly stay in South Light? Let alone in Buckwood even?“I’m guessing that he’s going to leave after fifteen days or so!“When he leaves, Buckwood’s market would still be mine to govern!“Rest assured, all of you will have big opportunities when I take over after Steve leaves South Light!”Brock was in high spirits while he was showing off his capabilities to everyone present. People that didn’t know would usually think that he was the actual representative of Star Chaebol.Harvey York could not hold in his laughter. He was not very fond of Brock the moment he met him.But Harvey felt like he was watching a clown’s performance at that moment.He never thought that someone would be this much of a show-off in this day and age.Brock was showing off this much even though he did not know about Star Chaebol packing up their assets and leaving overnig
Brock Park could not even glance at Mandy Zimmer for a second. He continued to stare at Harvey York coldly and said, “Kid, are you mad at me? If you’re angry, you can just leave! My bar doesn’t welcome you here!“I’m telling you! It’s only because of your wife’s reputation that you’re allowed to sit here with all of us!“If not, you’ll never even be able to meet me with your status, let alone sit in front of me!“Do you have no idea of the value that you possess? Are you even worthy?“I can’t stand people like you, bragging up a storm when you don’t have a sliver of talent…”Brock was already blabbering at this point. He really wanted to slap Harvey so badly. If it weren’t for Mandy, he would’ve already let someone else do it for him.Harvey already looked at Brock as a joke previously, but then his gaze toward Brock had gotten colder.“Brock Park, do you really think that you’re some hotshot?”“You…”Before Brock could even speak, a beer bottle was slammed out of the blue ont
“Not bad, not bad at all. Flirting with my woman?”The man with long hair smiled.“I haven’t seen people like this in a long while.”Brock Park and the others all subconsciously shifted their gaze toward Curtis Park after hearing those words.‘Did this man actually flirt with some other woman?’‘Is he trying to kill everyone’s rhythm here?’Curtis walked forward while trembling to no end, then replied, “Mister, this must be some kind of mistake…”“Like Hell I would mistake you!”Before Curtis could even finish his sentence, the man with long hair already picked up another bottle and slammed it on Curtis’ head.“Aaaaaaah!”Cries of pain echoed out as if a pig was being slaughtered. The glass bottle shattered, Curtis was wailing in pain on the ground. His head was split open, his whole body trembling profusely.Stacy Leo, Rae Flynn, and the others gasped after seeing the sight. All of them subconsciously hid behind Brock and his followers.Even though they had the courage aft
The Naiswell family.The only surviving first-rated family left in Buckwood. They even had the strength to be a top-rated family.But in the eyes of the Yates family from America, the family was just someone that they could bully whenever they wanted.But for collateral relatives like Stacy Leo and Rae Flynn, the Naiswell family was a family that was too high for them to even reach for.And after hearing that the man with long hair was actually the master of the Naiswell family, Avel Naiswell, those people were all trembling incessantly.Nobody thought that they would actually bump into someone way stronger than them.It was said that the Naiswell family was working together with Prince York himself. Offending the Naiswell family would mean offending Sky Corporation.With one misstep, they might just lose their lives right there and then.Everyone’s face looked utterly horrible at this moment.Mandy Zimmer frowned slightly without saying another word.The others were terrifie
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
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
