“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
Avel was thrown off a few steps backward. He stared at Harvey in shock.Everyone else was a little bit startled. However, it wasn’t because they thought Harvey was skillful. Instead, they were shocked as to how someone could be so stupid.Brock, Stacy, and everyone present turned pale with fright and kept backing away.Only Mandy, despite looking as white as a sheet, stood beside Harvey.His two slaps had eliminated any possibilities of reconciliation between the two sides.Even ordinary people couldn’t afford to bear this disgrace, for fear that they would be rendered completely furious. This was especially so for the young master from the streets, Avel Naiswell.Harvey was finished. He was dead meat!It took a long time for Avel to react. He touched his face once more, and shot Harvey a livid grin. “Brat, how dare you slap me again?”“So what?”“How about another slap?”Harvey was indifferent. He then gave Avel another slap in the face.Slap!Such a clear sound! This slap
Soon, Harvey and Alexei walked into the auction hall discreetly with their heads low.The auction hall was incredibly spacious. It resembled a grand stadium, with individual seats placed all over. In the middle of the stadium was a tall auction platformThere was still some time before the start of the auction, but most of the guests were already there. Everyone nodded toward each other and started chatting. Not only was this an auction, but a lot of people also treated this as a place where they could socialize.Harvey and Alexei had been brought to seats at the corner by the staff. Harvey didn't mind this location. He picked up a tablet in front of him and started to swipe it. The content was mostly about the items up for auction."Hello, everyone! It is good to see all the familiar faces in Grand City's Charity Auction once more," said an old man with a cool expression in traditional garb as he appeared on the platform. His voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear.There w
Harvey frowned. "Isn't that a little too far-fetched? An Oracle Text that can predict the future?"Alexei shook his head. "Don't underestimate the Hierophant, Big bro. Few people throughout history could decipher the Book of Changes so thoroughly. "It was said that there was a prince from some oil-producing country who managed to get an Oracle Text that showed the word Chaos."It was predicting that his country would fall into chaos. That prince made early preparations. Half a year later, that country fell into chaos, but the prince managed to prepare for it and suppressed the chaos. He even gained a lot of benefits from it. "After that, the Hierophant's Oracle Text became extremely popular!"Alexei spoke as if he were explaining to Harvey some ancient secrets. He glanced around sneakily, like he was worried that someone would hear him gossiping about the Hierophant.After Harvey heard it, he became curious. "Looks like this Hierophant really has something unique about him. No
Around ten in the evening, Alexei took Harvey to the Grand City's Charitable Auction. The auction was organized by the priesthood. Every time they had an auction, they would invite the socialites to attend.To the socialites, the mysterious Grand City would only show a little bit of itself around this time. In this auction, everyone used H dollars. Of course, there were times when bartering was possible, with the preface that both sides found the trade agreeable.Harvey had also learned about the details of the auction before coming. The mayor was at the top of the social hierarchy, followed by the Seven Families. However, because Wenzel had been missing for all these years, the Hierophant had been leading the Seven Families. That was why the Priesthood's social standing was far higher than before, despite being just a non-essential body in the past.For example, the one who chaired this auction this evening was the so-called Priestess. Harvey had heard plenty of rumors about
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
