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
Just as Brock was at a loss and didn’t know what to do…Avel’s face brightened up as he looked at Stacy and the rest.These women were social butterflies, and they were quite pretty.Thinking of this, Avel said indifferently, “Well, I’m in a good mood today. I’ll give you a chance. Guys get out, but girls stay and serve me!”Both Stacy and Rae were shocked. Serving such a young master from the streets wasn’t easy. If they weren’t careful, they might be destroyed!Most importantly, they cherished their bodies. Ordinary people didn’t deserve to sleep with them.The gangsters behind Avel licked their lips, anticipating. Stacy and the rest shuddered at the sight.“Don’t go overboard. We, Star Chaebol, aren’t that easy to bully either!”Brock’s subordinate stood up and spoke out.Bang!Before he could finish speaking, Avel smashed a wine bottle on him and he slumped to the ground.The citizens of Country J were skillful at bragging and boasting.However, they would immediately
The name Avel Naiswell alone incited terror.Even the bragging Brock Park was now reduced to a coward. He himself never imagined that Harvey wouldn’t hesitate to hurt Avel. This wasn’t about impulsiveness.A man who didn’t even have the courage to protect his own woman was worthless, even if he did have two balls.“You slapped me?”Avel paused. He then reached to touch his face, completely taken by surprise.Brock and the rest thought they were seeing things.Stacy, Rae, and her posse couldn’t believe what they were seeing.They tried looking carefully again. He was still the same man!However, this live-in son-in-law now carried a tough and hard-edged image, very different from what he seemed like previously.When did a live-in son-in-law seem so powerful?“Who are you?!”Avel spurted out a mouthful of blood. He waved to stop the gangsters who were glaring at Harvey, ready to smash him into a pulp.“You’re the first one who dared to hit me at my place. You should tell me
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
