The crowd was shocked!Everyone gaped while looking at this scene, feeling their scalp tingle. They could not accept it.Oliver Bauer was here, and there were so many subordinates here. How dare Harvey York land a slap on Hugh Baker?Was he afraid that he would not die miserably enough?Oliver was even more stunned. This was because, in his opinion, anyone who was a little smart would have surrendered at this moment.This was because he was the branch leader of Longmen, Mordu. He had a high position and had powerful strength. Trampling Harvey to death was just as simple as stepping on an ant.However, no one thought that Harvey would actually ignore his existence and slapped Hugh in public. He even stepped on Hugh’s chest under his feet.This was not only about smacking Oliver in the face but also hitting at Longmen at the same time too!“Kill him! If he dies, it’s on me!”Oliver was so angry that he jumped on the spot.Many people held their breath while witnessing this scen
Harvey York ignored those people and calmly said, “Elder Bauer, I wouldn’t dare to ask you to do anything. But I’d like to ask: what was your original intention when you decided to establish Longmen?”Samuel Bauer realized something, but he still smiled and replied, “To protect the country for the emperor!“Of course, it’s because of that!”Harvey chuckled.“Indulging the branch leader under you and arrogantly bullying the citizens. You did all that in the name of protecting the country?“If you did, I feel like there’s no need for Longmen at all!”Samuel remained silent for a moment, then continued talking.“Harvey, what happened exactly? I’ll be sure to give you a fair statement.”Harvey calmly replied, “Nothing much. It’s just that one of your branch leaders is planning to kill me off.“Even though I wanted to deal with this myself, I would still have to ask if you’re supporting him, Elder.“Because if you are, I wouldn’t mind going to Wolsing myself!”Samuel then swiftly
The crowd was shocked, muddled, and terrified!Longmen’s branch leader was kneeling in front of a junior and being slapped left and right. Nobody would believe it if they weren’t there to see it for themselves!It did not matter what background Harvey York had or who he called.But victory had already been decided!When Oliver Bauer kneeled, all of his pride and dignity were already gone.And all those thirty-six men were kneeling on the ground as well without the courage even to raise their heads.It was safe to say that he was just as miserable as he was domineering before.The people that came to stand up for Hugh Baker were all utterly terrified by the sight and then quietly backed away.Even though they couldn’t get away, all of them had the same idea, and that was to stay away from Hugh and pretend that they were not acquainted with him.Hugh and Tristan Quinlan were filled with resentment. They wanted to choke Harvey to death so badly.Why would crushing a live-in son-
At the Gardens Residence.Harvey York carefully walked inside, about to take a shower in the bathroom.With a resounding click, the entire living room that was as dark as night was lit up.Mandy Zimmer and Xynthia Zimmer were wearing pajamas on the couch, hugging their arms while glaring at Harvey.Master York, who just crippled a branch leader of Longmen, felt like his head was going numb.He had to force a smile and ask, “Mandy, Xynthia, why aren’t the two of you in bed yet?”“What were you doing outside? And why did you come back this late?”Mandy was frowning.Harvey replied, “It’s nothing. I just went to have a talk with Hugh’s godfather.”“And then what happened?”“And then, the father and son realized their own mistakes. They promised not to step foot in Buckwood ever again, then held each other’s hands and left,” Harvey said, full of confidence.Mandy and Xynthia looked at each other full of disbelief, but they saw that Harvey was completely unscathed. It seemed like
On the next day.Harvey York had gotten word of Oliver Bauer being assassinated early in the morning.After giving a call to Yannick Bisson, Harvey then went to a funeral parlor.Oliver’s status was too extraordinary. That was why besides Yannick, Yoel Graham was there as well.Inside the morgue, there was a body that was as pale as a ghost. It was none other than Oliver himself, but with an additional red dot on his forehead.Harvey sized up the body and calmly asked, “What happened here?”Yannick took a deep breath and replied, “After Oliver and the group left the parking lot last night, they went to Edward Hospital to treat their injuries. They then drove toward Buckwood International Airport right after.“About twelve miles away from the airport, Oliver asked to open the car window right as they were leaving the urban district. It was then a suppressed bullet went right into his head. It was a one-shot kill!“The shooter’s extremely accurate. No ordinary person could’ve mad
Harvey York seemed indifferent.Yannick Bisson, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke, “CEO York, what do you think the killer’s motives are for assassinating Oliver Bauer?”Harvey calmly replied, “It’s not for money, and it’s not for revenge. Then, it’s most likely to cause trouble.“It might not be against me, but the killer is at least trying to shake things up in Buckwood for some reason. No doubt about it.“Buckwood is basically a metal bucket now, after all. It’s almost impossible for outsiders to just waltz in as they please.“But if they were to push me to the heart of the struggle and the government of South Light had to throw me out to give Samuel Bauer a fair statement, then, they might have a shot to come in.”Without a second thought, Harvey continued speaking.“If we think about it this way, the killer’s motive isn’t just to kill Oliver, and certainly it’s not to deal with me either.“They wanted to take advantage of the situation while Longmen is in chaos
Harvey York then replied calmly, “Even if everything that you said was true, what are you going to do about it?”Rachel Hardy hugged her arms and looked down on Harvey.“Let’s cut the nonsense. Kneel and break your arms, then we’ll talk after you have kneeled for seven whole days in front of my master’s grave!“If not, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”Rachel was domineering at this moment. There was an unspeakable aura surrounding her.It was apparent that this woman was at least capable. It seemed like she had been to war before.Her comrades were glaring at Harvey ferociously, as if they would kill him in any minute.Harvey calmly replied, “So, you’re saying that you won’t be investigating the matter any further?”“Investigate?! All of the facts are here, why would there even be a need for that?!” Rachel retorted coldly.“Even if you don’t, do you think that you’re worthy enough for me to break my arms and kneel in front of Oliver’s grave?”Harvey’s expression t
Rachel Hardy sized up Yoel Graham and let out a burst of laughter. “You must be the first-in-command of the government of Buckwood, Yoel Graham.“You’re nothing in front of me!“The first-in-command of South Light’s government being here should be more appropriate!“I’m telling you right now, nobody can protect Harvey today! Harvey York, you’re as good as dead!”In the middle of Rachel’s speech, she took out a red license and threw it right at Yoel’s face.Yoel grabbed the license and took a glance. His expression changed frantically after he saw it.“The license to kill?!”“It’s good that you know about this. Even though I already quit Longmen, my license is still here. Even the sovereign grants special permission to kill first before reporting!“Even if you were to stand in my way, Yoel Graham, I’ll just kill you off too! Who would even dare to stand up for you?!”Rachel did not give a sliver of respect toward Yoel. Her license to kill was her trump card.Besides, she alr
The young man, who Linus addressed as Mr. Parker, ignored Ray and immediately set his eyes on Sia. For someone like him who came out of the mountains, fashionable young women from the mountains were women he rarely had a chance to interact with.And then, he glanced at Harvey. He did not bother hiding the disdain in his eyes. It was as if a fly had landed on his delicious cake, and he could not help but feel disgusted. When the image crossed his mind, he said, "Mr. Linus, I don't like people who interfere with our business.""I understand," Linus said coldly. "Let me deal with it."Then, Linus waved his hand, and dozens of mutants from Country A cracked their necks as they moved forward."You're thinking of dealing with who?" A calm voice came from in front of Linus. Then, he saw Harvey was already standing up, as he had already finished helping Sia regulate the energy inside of her. Then, he grabbed the ashtray nearby and hurled it."Ah!" The ashtray landed right on Linus's head,
Sia was Yvonne's younger cousin, and the two of them had met once. She even called Harvey brother-in-law. However, he did not expect the two of them to meet again in these circumstances.Harvey quickly pushed open the car door, walked out, and immediately checked Sia's pulse and asked, "Sia, what's going on here?"Sia instinctively wanted to struggle when a man touched her. However, when she saw Harvey's face clearly, she calmed down and stopped being on her guard."Why are you here?""Stop talking. Your condition right now is quite unusual. Let me give you a hand," said Harvey with a frown. While he could tell that Sia had been drugged, he did not realize it would be so powerful. The person who drugged Sia also did not think about the consequences and used about ten times more than the standard dosage.Most importantly, this was not some typical poison. It was a kind of insect poison that could awaken one's primal desire. And this situation was quite difficult to deal with. With
One moment later, Janus approached Emery with a dark expression. Meanwhile, Emery was brewing tea.Emery had just added some tea to the teapot and relaxedly filtered the first pot of water. Then, he took out his antique cup and poured himself a cup of tea.Only once he was almost done did Emery glance at Janus. "What happened?"Janus had a strange expression before he spoke sternly: "Boss, Ms. Isis of Sherril Corp had just been humiliated. Drake, who had just returned from the Northern Land, had also been wasted. They had even knelt and vowed not to harass Ms. Journi again…Emery's hand held his teacup still as he listened. A glint of strange light illuminated his eyes before he calmly said, "Don't tell me Harvey did this."Janus nodded. "I really can't figure it out until today. Just where did Harvey come from? He didn't care who he offended at all. Here, he had just killed Hector and foiled the Island Nation's plans, and the next he did was hurt Drake and humiliate Country A."
Isis took a deep breath as she gritted her teeth, "If you dare hurt Drake, both the Wards of the Northern Land and the Sherril Corp won't show you any mercy!""Oh? Then, I really want to see how you plan not to show me mercy.After he said that, Harvey placed the revolver he held on Drake's shoulder and pulled it.Bang!There was a huge sound, and Drake trembled. His shoulder had been shot, and blood instantly started to flow. If every shout before this was simply trying to scare him, then this shot was clean enough to the point of scaring them. All of them felt Harvey was a murderer.At this point, they finally understood that Harvey was not a risk-taker. He was even crazier than Drake.There was only silence at the scene. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, as everyone was still stunned. They were truly stunned by how fast Harvey did it, and the entire club's atmosphere instantly plummeted. Many were shaking and trembling.While they believed they were more importa
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
