Faye’s expression morphed into something horrible at Avel’s declaration. She remembered what had happened at Flynn’s Antiques before. She wanted to tear off Avel’s mouth so badly!Faye picked up her phone, her face icy.“The Naiswell family’s Antique Cities are suspected to traffic fakes. Tell the people from the antique management system to investigate them!”“Another thing! Contact every medium to small shareholder of the Naiswell family. Tell them that we’re buying off their entire stock!”“Also, contact every single family that has connections with Star Chaebol and the top four families from Hong Kong. Tell them to blacklist the Naiswell family from now on!”“I want the Naiswell family to go bankrupt right now!”Faye was coldly issuing orders against the Naiswell family, along with everyone that stood by Sky Corporation.The entire crowd listened to it in pity.. They then turned to Shane, looking disdainful of him.The Naiswell family would be history because they stood b
The crowd immediately fell silent after hearing that name.Dead silence filled the air.A major character such as this actually came to support Harvey?Even if it were just fifteen hundred dollars, who would dare to waste his investment? Who would dare to make him lose money?They, or perhaps their family, might need his help to recover when they fall seriously ill.Oskar ignored everyone else and casually approached the journalists with a light wave.“I, Oskar Armstrong, am buying some of the Sky Corporation’s stocks. This shouldn’t count as an inside trade, right?”The journalists all looked at each other. Seconds later, the news spread like wildfire. News from the stock market had such a big impact!A large group of investors saw that Oskar Armstrong, of all people, was buying a stock from Sky Corporation. Like sharks that smelled blood in the sea, they took immediate action. The red line that was on the verge of plummeting was once again skyrocketing at an unimaginable
Buckwood was a first-rate city. Many luxurious cars and amazing number plates were around.Some of the cars had number plates that came from Hong Kong, Las Vegas, and even in inland cities.But no matter how amazing these plates were, they could not compare to the Audi A6 in front of the crowd.The number plate was labelled “Buckwood 00001”!There was only a single number plate with this label in Buckwood, no, the entirety of South Light. Only one man was allowed to have it!It was none other than the first-in-command of South Light, Sheldon Xavier himself!There were rumors that the first-in-command of South Light would be transferred away.Even so, as long as he was taking office, he would still be king.No matter how powerful a person was, they could not cross Sheldon if they wanted to make a living in South Light.It was this very reason that everyone fell silent the moment they saw the plate.The door of the car’s passenger seat opened soon after. South Light government’
Boom!Sheldon was far away, but Peter and the others could feel an unspeakable pressure heading toward their direction.This was the authority of the first-in-command of South Light, Sheldon Xavier, who had worked for the government for many years!Not to mention, he was a part of the Xavier family from Wolsing!The Xavier family was one of the top ten families in Country H.Sheldon standing here represented his entire family’s support toward Harvey.At this moment, the pressure coming from Mordu’s Jean family had suddenly dissipated.Everyone present hung their heads low, lacking the courage to look into Sheldon’s eyes.Peter, Karl, and Faye especially looked woebegone. They had to avoid Sheldon’s scornful gaze no matter what.“Hmph!”Along with Sheldon’s gaze, Yoel and the rest of the government officials gave off a cold snort as they scanned their surroundings.They represented the government of Buckwood and South Light. Sheldon and Yoel were especially powerful.With th
Karl could not figure out why Harvey had the right to be supported by all the big shots of the government.Star Chaebol was indeed quite wealthy, but at the end of the day, Representative Lee was only a representative in Country H. He was titled king in the northern provinces, but that did not mean he had a huge reputation in South Light.The top four families from Hong Kong were powerful as well.Yet right now, none of them were present.They would only think of coming if Flynn and the others turned up dead.If not, how could anyone even think of short stocking the Sky Corporation under these circumstances? How could they make the company’s stocks plummet?How could they make Harvey go bankrupt?Karl’s throat dried, and he turned to Faye. He then coldly said, “Princess Goddard, what do we do now? How will Master Flynn…”“Shut your mouth!”Faye’s expression was utterly horrible. She groaned, full of rage.She shot Harvey a scornful glare and quickly sent a text message, tremb
The door of the Maybach opened first. Matthew Flynn, dressed in a suit, appeared.A thin and long unlit cigar rested between his fingers.His casual stride exuded unfathomable dominance.The door of the Rolls Royce opened soon after. Quinton York, who was in casual clothing, walked out.Quinton was originally one of the Famous Four of the Yorks. Who in South Light wouldn’t recognize him?Yet, nobody expected that Quinton would undergo such a massive change and become one of the four masters from Hong Kong after the York family collapsed.His scheme shocked the entire crowd.The two’s appearances were enough to choke Buckwood, maybe even South Light’s authority to the point where they could not catch their breath, whether it be the well-renowned Matthew Flynn or the newly appointed master from Hong Kong, Quinton York.Karl’s face brimmed with ecstasy, while Faye trembled with excitement.Harvey frowned. He did not think that the place would get this crowded.It would be fine i
“As expected from Elder Xavier, how domineering. Truly, the lord of the city…”Quinton clapped his hands and smiled.“You are indeed quite powerful as the first-in-command of South Light, but I’m also here today representing my grandmother’s will.“From today onward, you and the family you support will be the York family’s target!”“I’ll even request the higher authorities to do the same against you!”“If they don’t do as we ask, us Yorks will do it ourselves!”The York family represented absolute authority and power.Even if the Xavier family was one of the top ten families of Country H, the Yorks were fully capable of collapsing the Xaviers if they willed it.“Since Master Yorkhad announced such news, I should be doing the same…”Matthew lit up the cigar between his fingers and smiled, narrowing his eyes.“Whoever stands up for Harvey or Sky Corporation will be considered an enemy of the Four Masters of Hong Kong!”“And I!”Peter chuckled coldly as he took a step forward.
“Which blind fool dares to challenge me?!”When Matthew heard a daring voice daring to stand against him during such a critical moment, he exploded in anger.“Show yourself!”Quinton, who had recognized the unknown man, had no time to stop Matthew.“Show myself?”“The four top families from Hong Kong? How dignified! How domineering!”“It seems like the four top families from Hong Kong are kings of Country H now, even though I couldn’t care less for your presence!”An elderly man in a green shirt appeared. He was being escorted by another as he walked toward Sky Corporation’s entrance from the street.The clothes he donned were extremely bland; his movements were also quite slow, but he would only take a dozen steps to walk a long distance of three hundred feet.Harvey narrowed his eyes and immediately recognized the man. It was none other than the master of Longmen, Samuel Bauer himself!Harvey called Samuel the day before Oliver’s death.Nevertheless, he didn’t expect Samue
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
One hour later, Harvey once again appeared at the VIP seats. Durandal and the others had been waiting for them. When they saw Harvey appear, they grinned. "One hour is over, pretty boy. Can we start the battle now? Looking at how confident you are, maybe you should consider fighting yourself. If you're willing, I can tell the Boxing Champion to just use one arm."It was obvious that not only did Durandal want to use this chance to test Harvey's power, but he also wanted to get him killed.Harvey smiled. "There's no need for overwhelming firepower. Even your father couldn't make me fight him, let alone your underling."Durandal's eyes turned incredibly cold when he heard that. Just as the atmosphere in the VIP seats was becoming fired up, the atmosphere around the ring was also becoming more tense.They hadn't even fought yet, but both sides were already staring down at each other apprehensively. It would be quite intense once the fight really began.Very quickly, Durandal took a
Harvey ignored all of them, but simply looked at all the fighters. In the end, Harvey's eyes fell on a young man of about eighteen years old. It was obvious he had just come of age, and he had trained his body well. From his physique, Harvey could tell that his martial arts abilities were quite good too.Harvey could tell immediately that the young man probably had an extraordinary upbringing to have such power at such an age. He might be a core student who came out from a Sacred Training Ground to train.Most importantly, the other fighters either looked at Harvey warily or in envy. Only he looked at Harvey peacefully, as if everyone in this world were ordinary people.Harvey gave Maya a look, and Maya quickly introduced him. "Sir, this is a servant that a member of the Ninth Branch picked up from under the bridge. He's mute, but he's extremely loyal. When we realized he has great talent in martial arts, we decided to turn him into a fighter."Harvey narrowed his eyes. What kind
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
