After kicking Brock over to the ground, Avel rushed towards Harvey and knelt. “CEO York, I was blind to the fact that you were there last night and offended you!”“Please be the better man and forgive me!”‘Forgive?!’The crowd was dead silent.Stacy and Rae were especially in utter disbelief.Avel, a mob boss, came all the way here to beg for Harvey’s forgiveness?This was proof of how strong Harvey truly was!Avel was here to sincerely apologize as well.When he returned home last night, still stubborn and unyielding, Shane only told him a name.Prince York.Shane didn’t need to say anything else. Avel was already drenched in his own sweat the second he heard that name.Even though he was a gangster himself, he knew how powerful that man actually was.There was no need to mention anything. The knowledge that Tyson Woods, the new king of the streets, actually worked under Prince York, was enough to point out the problem.Avel did not have much interest in inheriting the f
A man wearing bright clothes jogged all the way here, with the protection of several private bodyguards.He was none other than the talented, self-proclaimed genius of Country J, Steve Lee.“Master Lee! Master Lee!”Brock, who was still on the ground, almost jumped up after seeing him.“You finally came, Master Lee!”“You must bring me justice!”“This live-in son-in-law had been causing a ruckus here since early in the morning. He said something about you transferring all the assets of South Light’s business department to him!”“You have to tell me! He’s just a liar, right?!”“ Star Chaebol is extremely powerful! We wouldn’t be scared of a Country H citizen!”“Hurry, Master Lee! Crush this live-in son-in-law! Break his legs!”Brock exclaimed furiously as he pointed at Harvey, pride coloring his face.He was still in denial regarding Harvey’s power and status.He hoped that his boss Steve Lee, a man with an extraordinary status, would trample Harvey to death.But Steve quic
Steve’s eyes twitched. His face had lost all color.But without Harvey’s orders, he would not dare say a word.After kneeling that night, he had already lost his spine. He no longer had the courage to go against Harvey.He did not even have the courage to contact Peter in the past few days. He could only prepare every procedure needed to transfer the assets as fast as he could.“Enough. If I don’t let him, he won’t speak at all.” Harvey said, smiling faintly.“In the beginning, you used the contract deal as a guise to trick my wife into drinking. You kept forcing her to drink, over and over again. Everyone knew exactly what you were doing.”“Today, you keep ridiculing me for no reason, over and over again. I wanted to just fire you to reduce our problems.”“But why are you so fond of being this irritating?”“Steve, is everyone from Country J this oblivious? Or is it because you didn’t properly teach your dog some manners?”“Having him bark at me like this annoys me greatly.”
Avel took an antique wooden box from one of his subordinates’ hands and opened it in front of Harvey. A blood red gem was inside of the box.The jewel was bright red, but there was a dark line from within the gem. It looked quite spectacular.“CEO York, this is the legendary Gem of the General. It is said that ancient generals were buried with this beautiful gem.”“I heard from the old man that you’re good at appraising antiques, so I bought this gift for you. Consider it a small token of my appreciation.”Harvey did not reach out for the gem, but stared at it for a long while.“How much did this cost you?”Avel smiled and replied, “Not much. It only costs 1.5 million. Pocket change, really.”“1.5 million?”Harvey smiled calmly.“Thank goodness I know that you’re a mob boss with no connection to the Naiswells’ actual business.”“If not, I might just choke you to death along with your entire family.”Avel was shocked.“CEO York, why would you say that?”“I bought this from
At ten o’clock in the morning, Harvey and Avel showed up at Buckwood’s Antique City.Harvey came to join in the fun and see exactly who owned Flynn’s Antiques, and how they had the courage to target him.If Flynn’s Antiques turned out to be a business owned by the Leos from Hong Kong, then Harvey would understand.He had never met anyone from the Flynn family at all, so he couldn’t understand why they would do something like this.Soon, several people gathered at the entrance of Flynn’s Antiques.The gangster standing in the lead kicked down the door. The rest of his men marched inside, all of them oozing murderous intent.The customers in the shop were scared witless. They instantly took a few steps back to give way.“Who are you people? What are you trying to do?”The clerk and the security guards present looked as though they were facing a dangerous enemy. Some guards brought out their electric batons to fend off these gangsters.Avel stormed into the shop and kicked an ant
If it weren’t for Harvey finding out that the gem was faulty, the consequences could’ve been dire.Why would Darren bother pretending that he didn’t know anything?They were all gangsters, after all. Such a pretense was meaningless.A high-tech extract within an expensive blood gem?If it turned out that this wasn’t the Flynn family’s doing, Avel was prepared to behead himself!Avel glared coldly at Darren. “I’ll give you one more chance, Darren. Admit to what you did, and I’ll let you live.”“If you wait for me to spill the beans for you, then you won’t have another chance to open up shop anymore. You just wait for someone to get you a casket!”A grave look flashed across Darren’s face, but he was quick on his wits. He chuckled lightly. “I really don’t know what I did wrong. Please, tell me!”Naturally, there were some things Darren just couldn’t admit to.Avel smiled coldly and waved his hand. One of his subordinates brought over a suitcase to the counter and opened it.The
Fakes within the antique industry were next to nothing. Since everyone worked in the same industry, even if they were fooled, they would just let it beLosing money in this line of work only meant that the person wasn’t good enough. Others can’t be blamed.But hiding a radioactive substance to harm others was the equivalent of alienating yourself within the industry.Darren’s eyes twitched. A forced smile appeared on his face, as pristine as a white gem.“Master Naiswell, this must be a mistake! I was the one that brought this here. I even appraised it myself since it has such a good texture. If there was anything wrong with it, I definitely wouldn’t sell it to you…”“Cut the nonsense!”Avel immediately cut Darren off.“We’re all adults here. Let’s just cut to the chase. Since you’re trying to prove that you have no ill-intent, then that’s fine. Swallow this thing whole, then. Not only will I believe you, but I’ll also grovel and apologize to you! I’ll even let Flynn’s Antiques
The mention of the name confused Harvey.Faye Goddard was quite famous in Hong Kong; throughout the entire Chinese social circle, in fact.She was said to have taken extreme measures. During her time in university, she met a wealthy man in his eighties with just a first-class plane ticket.She was then married into a wealthy family before she even graduated. Her eighty year-old husband passed away when she graduated, and as a result, a huge portion of his assets all landed right into her hands.In Hong Kong’s upper social circle, Faye had the nickname of Black Widow.Her tricks or motives notwithstanding, she had the looks of a goddess. She was living quite a successful life in Hong Kong, Las Vegas, and South Light, and her face constantly showed up in magazines as well.Nobody expected for her to have relations with Flynn’s Antiques.Harvey frowned when he saw Avel’s face changing.Faye had some reputation of appraising antiques, and her nickname was quite frightening. The Nai
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
