Darren Flynn quickly took out his phone and searched for a backer from Buckwood in it.Each of those staff looked at Harvey York with disdain.Although this guy did have an eye for antiques and let Flynn’s Antiques suffer a significant loss…However, what was the use of having this ability in the appraising industry?This thing was nothing in front of sheer power.They initially thought this live-in son-in-law would leave after he easily got off the hook. Nobody knew what to do with him.However, until now, he still wanted to pretend.He was genuinely ignorant and absurd, trying to get himself killed.“Just wait. I’m calling someone to come here now!”“Wait until he arrives. All of you will have to kneel on the ground for me!”Darren stared at Harvey with a vicious expression on his face and spoke between his gritted teeth.Faye Goddard was responsible for such a big incident today, but Darren’s responsibility was not trifling either.Unless Harvey could be taken down today
Although Henry Flynn was just the Director of Antique Management, he had a lot of authority. With his power, it was not difficult to destroy an antique shop or an antique player.There used to be a shop selling calligraphy and paintings. Just because the other party refused to send him gifts, he framed the other party, saying contrabands were in their calligraphy and paintings collection. Then, the shop was shut down, and the goods were detained.The owner found no avenue to redress, so he could only commit suicide by jumping into the river.However, Henry did not feel remorse at all. Instead, he forged a lot of evidence to prove that the dead owner did sell contraband.Later on, he even hid some of the calligraphy and paintings and sold them in Hong Kong, earning a lot of money in the process.Therefore, the expressions of those antique players present slightly changed, seeing the arrival of Henry Flynn, who was known as the Flayed man.“Director Flynn, you have finally come to
Faye Goddard also opened her mouth and said, “York, have you been living off women too much and treating yourself like a boss?“Do you actually think that your status as a consultant is that great?“I said a long time ago that your identity is just a paper tiger in front of the genuine big shots!”Harvey York replied indifferently, “You will soon know whether my status is useful or not.”“Pretend! Continue pretending!” Faye sneered, “A live-in son-in-law acting like a king!”Henry Flynn said fiercely, “York, it’s useless. I have the final say in this place, the antique market!“Even if you have the first-in-command, Yoel Graham, to support you, I’d still kill you!”“Yoel Graham, are you worthy?” Harvey said indifferently.It was quite a peculiar sight during those days. Even a nobody dared to name-drop the first-in-command of Buckwood.Meanwhile, several cars stopped at the gate of Flynn’s Antiques again.Then, a few people in uniform alighted from the car. The leading one wa
Henry Flynn’s face instantly darkened. Harvey York’s tone was the tone of the superiors lecturing their subordinates!What shocked them, even more, was that Michael Graham lowered his head at this moment. “CEO York, I’m sorry. I didn’t teach him well. I will surely give you an explanation regarding this matter!”After speaking, he turned around and walked toward Henry and the others.“Sir Graham, all this is a misunderstanding!“I’m sorry. I honestly didn’t know that Harvey was acquainted with you!“Please give us a chance!”Henry was used to trimming his sail to the wind. He immediately kneeled, cried while holding on to Michael’s thigh. He no longer had the pretentious aura.Michael was his superior. He could easily determine his career with just a word.It was just a matter of words to end his career.Slap!“Flayed man of Antique Management!”Slap!“You’re so awesome!”Slap!“Seizing other people’s things without any reason!”Slap!“Fining other people for 15.4 milli
Kyle Quinlan’s tone on the other side of the phone changed after hearing that Faye Goddard was hit. He then said sternly, “Who dares to do that to the representative of the Four Masters of Hong Kong?“Since the Four Masters of Hong Kong want to invest in South Light, then they are the guests of the South Light government!“Smacking them in the face is equivalent to smacking the South Light government and me in the face!“Miss Goddard, let them wait. I’ll come over there this instant!”Faye said with a smug, “Sir Quinlan, don’t worry. They can’t run away. We’re just waiting for you to come over to preside over justice!”Faye immediately hung up the phone after she spoke. She then gazed at Harvey York complacently and said, “Pretend! Pretending some more! I want to see how you will act when the second-in-command of South Light arrives here later!“The Four Masters of Hong Kong signed an investment and business engagement agreement with the South Light government when they entered t
“York, York, York, York…”Kyle Quinlan instantly stammered. He never expected that the other party was this person.Harvey York said indifferently, “Don’t call me Grandfather. I don’t have an unfilial grandson like you!”Boom!The crowd went silent!Harvey was certainly provoking Kyle!Just when everyone thought that Kyle was about to jump up and slap Harvey to death…However, Kyle’s superior aura instantly disappeared in the next moment and was replaced with an apologetic expression on his face. “CEO York, I’m sorry. I failed to distinguish between right and wrong. I will surely give you an explanation on this matter!”Kyle’s face was pale at this moment. This was because he knew full well about Harvey’s identity.Even if he was from the Quinlan family from Georgia, he could not afford to provoke the person before him, let alone him being the second-in-command of South Light.Faye Goddard and others covered their mouths tightly, worried that they would let out a scream.How
In Hong Kong, even during winter, it was still as warm as spring if compared with the ice and snow in the three northern provinces.At the top of an office building beside Victoria Harbor, a helicopter slowly descended.In the lounge below, two slender figures walked out.They walked to the edge of the helipad at will. Although there were skyscrapers at their feet, the two of them seemed to have not seen them. Instead, they wandered on the edge of the tall buildings.If there were reporters from the financial media present, they would certainly be frightened by the identity of those two people.The first one was Quinton York, who had just been promoted to one of the Four Masters of Hong Kong, representing the Leo family of Hong Kong.The other one was Matthew Flynn, who was from the Flynn family and the most arrogant and domineering of the Four Masters of Hong Kong.At this moment, Matthew bit a cigarette between his lips, and a solemn expression appeared on his chiseled face.
Just as Matthew Flynn was filled with emotions, suddenly, his mobile phone vibrated, and someone had just sent him a message.A smile appeared on the corners of his mouth after reading the message. “Interesting news.“This Prince York forced Star Chaebol of Country J to transfer all their assets in South Light to Sky Corporation.“This news has now reached the three northern provinces.“The representative of Star Chaebol in the great Country H, Peter Lee, will come to Buckwood and kill Prince York.“Star Chaebol…”Quinton’s eyes slightly flashed. He then smiled and said, “This Prince York certainly didn’t know his place. He offended Peter Lee after he offended us. He certainly wants to die!”Apparently, Quinton York and Peter had met several times.Representative Lee, who was said to have conquered the business world of the three northern provinces, was not a foolish person. Once he wanted to deal with someone, he would certainly go all out and spare no effort.“It seems that
Isis's expression instantly darkened. Harvey's earlier decisiveness had already made her understand that Harvey would pull the trigger."Bend the knee, apologize, and make your vow," Harvey ordered calmly. "I'm growing impatient. Three, two, one…"Without giving Drake a chance to speak, Harvey pulled the trigger again.Clack!The fourth time. It was still a dry fire.Isis's mind was completely blank, and she was blinded momentarily. While she always looked like someone high-and-mighty, she felt like she was nothing in front of everything Harvey had been doing. She thought that she could easily lose her life.Drake was so scared that he was shuddering.While it was still a dry fire, the next time he pulled the trigger, there was a 50% chance of it being a bullet. No matter who Harvey pointed the gun at, that person would have a 50% chance of going to hell."My, they always said that those who are kind live short lives while those who are problematic live a very long life. I didn
"You're threatening me?" Harvey patted Drake's cheek. "I know you must be very haughty, but the problem is that you're right in my hands tonight. Do you think threatening me like that is going to help you? Do you actually think I wouldn't dare to pull that trigger after you threatened me?"I've killed people like you for a dime a dozen. Nothing happened to me anyway. Why am I still standing perfectly fine here? At the root of it, it's because people like you are useless!"Harvey continued in high spirits, "Hey, Drake. Do you want to make a bet? Let's bet that no matter how headstrong you are, you're going to kneel on the ground and beg me to spare your life."Drake coldly replied, "And what's the wager? Your life?"Harvey blurted out a laugh. "No, you're not nearly valuable enough to make me wager my life. But, if you don't beg me until the very end, I can agree to any of your conditions.""Fine. At the time, I'll make you kill yourself!" Drake said as he gritted his teeth. "We'll
"You're that lucky?" Harvey said, his shock palpable on his face. "Alright, one more time."This time, Drake raised his left hand to block the gun's muzzle using all his strength. He believed that if this continued, even if he would not die from a bullet, he would die from the fear alone. "You're scared?" Harvey looked at Drake curiously. "Aren't you the Madman? Aren't you the third in Wolsing out of all the Young Masters? Why are you so afraid of dying? You're so arrogant while harassing my girlfriend. Why are you such a piece of trash now, huh?" Harvey patted Drake's face disdainfully.In that instant, there was only silence. No one expected this man who called himself Journi's boyfriend to be so big-headed. Not only did he dare to threaten Drake, he really wanted to kill Drake. Was he not afraid the Wards of the Northern Land would show him no mercy?But of course, to someone like Journi, while she was surprised, she was mainly touched. She was certain someone like Harvey would
And then, Harvey waved his left hand. The moment when Drake was stunned, the revolver then dropped into Harvey's hand.Once Harvey had obtained the revolver, he spun the cylinder, unlocked the safety, and pointed the revolver around. All the people who were so smug earlier started to scream and tried to find places to hide after being shocked.Harvey's play with the revolver made it obvious that he would discharge it accidentally.Even Isis, who had always been so high-and-mighty, had her expression darkened for a while and hid behind a marble column subconsciously. He who has nothing to lose has nothing to fear. Harvey looked like he had nothing to lose at all.That was why the foreigners all believed that if they were killed by Harvey, even if Harvey was willing to die for his mistake, it was still something they could not accept. After forcing the group away, Harvey then pointed the revolver at Drake's head.Drake's eyes turned cold. "Who are you, kid? Do you think this is som
In the end, Journi took a deep breath and buried all her helplessness and fury deeper into her heart. Then, she slowly said, "You must be joking, Ms. Isis. You are the daughter of the Sherril Corp from Country A. No matter how bold I am, I wouldn't dare to cross you. However, I simply wish for you to show some mercy…"To thank you, I'm willing to give you some of the assets in Country A I owe you for free as my gift. I believe you won't make it difficult for me, right?"Journi thought she had already lowered herself to the point that she was practically begging Isis to show her mercy. At this point, she even felt that she was giving up. She even forgot that she had Harvey pretend to be her boyfriend.Harvey was pleased, however. Instead of using an excuse like having a boyfriend, she was willing to accept other conditions in exchange for her freedom. This was a sign that she was maturing."Tsk… Assets from Country A? The few mansions you bought on the West Coast?" Isis lit a cigare
Journi ignored Drake, who was threatening her, and simply stared at Isis. "Isis, we're all part of the elite society. In this community, there are rules for everything. If I'm willing, you can do whatever you want. If I'm willing, I hope you can show me some respect so we can all preserve our dignity."Slap!Isis suddenly stood up and slapped Journi's face. "You little witch! Do you think your dignity is worth anything here? Do you think I need to preserve my dignity? Are you stupid? Not even your father has the right to speak to me like this, and you most definitely don't."The sudden slap stunned Journi. Finally, she managed to compose herself, gritted her teeth, and said, "Isis, are you trying to fight me until the end?"Isis made a hand gesture when she heard that voice. Instantly, dozens of brutal mutants came near. Each of them looked at Journi with a cold expression."Until the end, you say?" sighed Isis as she shook her head. "Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. You
Harvey's expression was becoming even colder. He had a new understanding about the "Madman", the third Young Master of Wolsing. If he was willing to humiliate a woman like that, it meant that he was not of good character."Alright, Drake. I told you not to provoke my Journi. Why are you still threatening her? Aren't you just making things hard for me?" Isis retorted, and then she looked at Journi with heartache. "I'm so sorry, Journi. He's only doing this for our future. No matter what, I owe you an apology on his behalf. Please don't keep this against him. Come, clean your face a little."And then, Isis picked up the towel she had used before and threw it in front of Journi. Journi narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to commit. However, she managed to suppress everything in the end. She had to remind herself she had other objectives for appearing here today.Regardless, she had to see if she could succeed.Journi slowly stood up, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Isis. "Thank you."
Drake shrugged nonchalantly and said to Journi, "I don't care whether you want to kneel, but you know my nickname well."As they spoke, Drake's right finger was already starting to pull the trigger.Journi gritted her teeth, but in the end, she slowly bent the knee. Harvey was stunned as he was going to make his move. There was surprise in his eyes. All these men and women from high society had their own pride. He did not expect her to be able to be so flexible in a time like this. She deserved his praise!"Tsk. Aren't you a princess? Aren't you always prideful? Don't they call you a goddess?" Drake looked at Journi disdainfully when he saw her kneel. He patted Journi's hand with a sneer. "You've always despised me, haven't you? Why are you kneeling before me now?"If it isn't because Ms. Isis desired you, do you think I'll let you kneel here? You're just a daughter from some second-rate top family. You think you're untouchable, and you want to go against us? Do you think you're an
Hearing Drake's words, Journi coldly said, "Drake, are you stupid? Do you know who you are? Are you threatening me? Ruin my face, then. Show me if you can actually bear the consequences of your action!"Journi was quite fearless. Besides Harvey being right next to her, it was also because Journi was sure Drake would not dare to do anything to her. She was a member of the Stanton family, after all. While the Stanton family was not one of the top ten families or one of the five hidden families, they were still one of the top families.If they butted heads and went all out, it would never end well for both sides."Ha! Don't think I didn't know Emery is no longer interested in you," Drake waved his hand, and four brawny men walked out, their eyes locked on Harvey and Journi."I gave you some respect in the past because Emery wanted you, so I did it for his sake. Do you really think you mean anything? And now? Who do you think you are? So what if I tell you to kneel and call her Queen?
