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
Harvey looked at Avel nonchalantly and said, “Are you sure you want to fight me?”Avel was startled. Then, he chuckled.What’s going on today?A live-in son-in-law slapped him three times in the face of a large number of people. He even asked whether Avel wanted to fight him!Avel had grown delusional from rage. He assumed anyone who had the courage to slap him would either come from a wealthy family or be a prince.Rather than a live-in son-in-law.If Avel didn’t kill this live-in son-in-law today, then he wouldn’t have the right to show his face in the streets in the future.“This, this, this…”Seeing Harvey’s arrogant demeanor as he faced Avel, Brock, Stacy, Rae, and others were filled with despair.“Recently, the situation in Buckwood is so chaotic that the Naiswells have struggled to maintain the title of being the only first-class family. They’ve done everything possible to achieve this.”“But you, a Young Master of the Naiswells, didn’t help. Instead, you put on arroga
Immediately afterward, Avel’s subordinates grabbed many empty wine bottles. It was obvious that they were going to smash the bottles on Harvey’s head in a while.“Let me advise you. There is no one around now. If you kneel and grovel, you may still have a chance!”“Yes! Just grovel a few times, and Young Master Naiswell might be in a good mood and let you live.”“You’re quite talented. If you still don’t know where you stand right now, then it’ll be too late for you later.”The few women who were left stared at the ever calm Harvey, and thought that he was still pretending.‘At a time like this, why not hurry up and get down on your knees to beg for mercy? You’re certainly asking for a beating! What a pain!’They couldn’t fathom how powerful Harvey could be.To them, how could Harvey be more powerful than Young Master Naiswell?Harvey said indifferently, “Kneel? If Avel kneels later, then I might consider letting him go.”Everyone was amused at his arrogance.“You want me to
Avel’s eyes twitched.He instinctively sensed fear at this very moment.The other party was the most powerful person within the Naiswells, Shane Naiswell!How could he have the right to prance around the streets without Shane and the Naiswells’ approval?Yet Harvey, who was in front of him, was talking to his grandfather with such a cold tone.He sounded like a superior scolding his employee, or a master admonishing his servant.Avel broke out into cold sweat.“CEO York, calm down! Please calm down! I’ll surely give you an explanation!”Shane was also sweating all over.He knew very well how domineering Harvey was.The former top families in Buckwood fell apart one by one after Harvey arrived in Buckwood. This alone was sufficient to show how strong Harvey was, aside from the fact that Harvey had rescued the Naiswells before.The most important reason the Naiswells were still able to do well now was because they sided with the right one.Yet now, their unscrupulous descenda
Harvey could see the resentment and anger in Avel’s eyes.He reached out to pat Avel’s face softly. He said indifferently, “You seem to be unconvinced?”“You think I’m using Shane to overpower you?”“That if it weren’t for him, I’m not qualified to challenge you at all?”Harvey had a half-smile on his face.Avel avoided Harvey’s hand and said bitterly, “CEO York, enough is enough!”Although Avel didn’t say it outright, he gave in for Shane’s sake, not because of Harvey.Harvey didn’t spare any time for nonsense. Instead, he picked up a wine bottle from the ground.Bang! Harvey hit Avel’s head with the bottle.The bottle broke into pieces, and blood smeared Avel’s face. He snorted, and staggered back a few steps.He was holding back all of his anger, and dared not vent it out.“This one is due to your disrespect to my wife.”Bang!“This one is because you cleared up the place and wanted to destroy me.”Bang!“This one is because I don’t really like you.”“I hit you three
Mandy took a deep breath and said, “Harvey, you’re safe this time. You must thank CEO Park.”Stacy, who was standing at the side, approached Harvey with a cold glare. “Trash! If it wasn’t for CEO Park who contacted Master Lee to help you out, I’m afraid you would have already been thrown into the river!”“You’ll also drag us down with you!”“You trash! It’s okay if you’re trying to be a hero, but don’t take us all with you!”“Do you think you’re that great? How dare you slap Young Master Naiswell three times in front of so many people!”“I’m telling you, you should be grateful! If it wasn’t for CEO Park’s generosity, you would have ended up badly.”Stacy, Rae, and others began to admonish Harvey.Brock folded his arms and feigned an aloof appearance, as if everyone present would be corpses if it weren’t for him.Brock? Finding someone to help them out?Harvey was taken aback. After a while, he smiled. He never thought that Brock still dared to pretend at this point.Thinking
Mandy looked hesitant. “CEO Park, I’m afraid…”Brock sneered. “You said you owe me a favor. You can choose to not come. But from then on, the cooperation between you and Star Chaebol will be completely terminated!”Mandy was uncomfortable. She knew that Brock had bad intentions, but she still told him that she owed him a favor.Harvey intervened coldly, “Brock, did you truly help us out tonight? How do you know that?”“With Steve Lee’s ability, how could he solve this problem?”Brock’s heart jolted, as if someone had seen through the secret. He immediately jumped up and barked angrily, “Brat, what do you mean?”“You’re not only insulting me, but also insulting Master Lee!”“Damn it! Had I known, I wouldn’t have found someone to help you. I should just let you be trampled to death by Young Master Naiswell!”“I used my connections to save you, yet you’re still being ungrateful and dared to question me?”“I’m telling you. If it wasn’t for CEO Park, I’d kill you right now!”Just
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
