Harvey York was taken aback while looking at this place.This was the famous restaurant in the estuary of Mordu. It was said that it had a history of more than a hundred years.This place was of high quality and class. It had a high-end atmosphere, luxurious and temperamental.Eating in such a place, a random dish could cost hundreds of dollars. If one wanted to reserve a room, it would cost at least two thousand and three hundred dollars.The price did not seem intimidating, but the main problem was that people from ordinary working-class simply could not come to such places to spend.Kelly had been doing very well over the years and was already considered a successful person.As for his wife, June Lee was rumored to have opened a chain of beauty salons, and the business was doing quite well. An annual income of hundreds of thousands of dollars should not be a big problem.Families like them could only touch the threshold of the upper-class circle in Mordu at most, but they wer
Harvey York frowned slightly, and his expression turned cold.“Harvey, are you here?”A calm voice came from behind at this moment.Then a big hand stretched out and patted Harvey’s shoulder.“Boy, you really have grown up. You’re not the same as before, but your face is still as gentle and delicate as you were previously.“I can easily recognize you even with a glance on the streets.”Kelly Malone looked at Harvey with a sense of relief on his face.Harvey turned his head and saw a familiar face. He smiled. “Uncle Malone, I haven’t met you in more than a decade.”“Well, well, you came at the right time. I was worried about when I would see you when I called you yesterday. I didn’t expect you to show up here today!“Since you’re here, have some fun!“There are many wonderful things in Mordu. Young people should come here to broaden their horizons. You can tell me where you want to go and what you want to buy. It’s all on me.”Kelly took out a bank card and was about to give
“Harvey, come in and sit next to me. Your aunt is always thinking about crooked ways all day. Just ignore her!”Kelly Malone brought Harvey York into the room and instantly ignored June Lee, who was outraged at that moment.June was so angry that the corner of her eyes twitched. She wished she could slap Kelly and even more, hoping to choke the shameless fellow, Harvey, to death.Harvey did not have the slightest intention to eat this meal. He knew this meal would be bad since June treated him with contempt.However, since Kelly has been treating him nicely, he could not bring himself to disappoint him.“Everyone, let me introduce you to you. This is my old friend’s son, Harvey. He comes to Mordu to work his way up this time. Please take care of him in the future for my sake!”Entering the room, Kelly introduced Harvey with an enthusiastic look.He just called yesterday, and Harvey instantly came to Mordu today. Thus, Kelly consciously felt that Harvey had come to join him.Non
A man and a woman, wearing luxury accessories and jewels, arrived together at this moment.The man was 1.85 meters tall. He was handsome and looked buffed. Other than that, he wore golden-framed glasses and seemed very gentle. However, his pale complexion and the faint fragrance perfume from his body made him exude a feminine temperament.This was the so-called sissy in the eyes of the older generation.As for the woman, she was about 1.7 meters. Her face was as delicate as jade. Her clothes, bags, watches, and accessories could sum up to ten years’ salary for an ordinary person.Her clothes were unique, revealing her tiny waist, which made people unconsciously want to touch it.Those two people were Steven Walker and Hazel Malone.“Isn’t this Young Master Walker? I was wondering why a magpie flew into our room just now! It turns out that you have arrived. How kind of you to come in person!”June Lee, whose face was dark as ink just now, had a smile on her face at this moment, f
Harvey York looked indifferent and drank his tea.This kind of showing off was meaningless to him.Unless Steven Walker could buy an aircraft carrier and place it in front of him, or else, Harvey would not feel anything.As for Kelly Malone, he was of a humble origin, so naturally, he despised such behavior of showing off one’s wealth.However, the problem was that Steven did not say anything himself. Instead, it was June Lee who took this opportunity to ridicule Harvey. Thus, Steven could not say anything.“Oh right, Uncle!”Under the praise of the group of people, Steven handsomely took out a gift box. He put it on the table, smiled, and said, “Uncle, this is the liquid gold that our Kaizen Group has been selling very well recently. Please accept it! This is very good for your health. It can prolong your life. Take this as a token of my appreciation.“It’s not that expensive. So, please don’t mind it.”Kelly frowned slightly, but he still said, “Thank you.”“Is this the lege
“Mother was nagging about it yesterday already, saying that Father was trying to entertain some poor relative again!“I didn’t think that it would be Harvey York!“Where does he get the courage to attend the evening banquet anyway? Compared to Young Master Walker, Harvey’s just a beggar.“Why did I even think that he was handsome when I was younger?”Hazel Malone looked at Harvey and could not help but let out a secret sigh, then subconsciously compared Steven Walker with her childhood sweetheart, Harvey. She didn’t know how appalling the comparisons were until then!Steven was exceptionally talented at such a young age, being the business manager of Kaizen Group at the moment. He also attended Mordu’s off-road car club and was the nephew of Deputy Branch Leader Walker.Regardless of the connections, influence, or capabilities, a character like this could be considered the top man in Mordu already.Compared to him, Harvey was not even worthy to carry shoes for him.As for Har
The crowd was dead silent after hearing those words. Everyone was shocked while looking at Harvey York.“Harvey, what exactly do you mean by that?”June Lee’s willow eyebrows frowned. She was furious.“Steven Walker gave you some respect for shaking your hand. It’s an opportunity for you. It’s fine if you don’t want to shake hands, but you said that he has no right to shake your hand?”“You said that he has too low of a status, capability, and identity?”“And that he’s unworthy to shake your hand?”“Who do you think you are?”“Longmen’s deputy branch leader?”Hazel Malone was dumbfounded when she stared at Harvey in astonishment.But she soon understood that Harvey, the live-in son-in-law, must’ve had come to Mordu to be the live-in son-in-law of the Malone family. This poor man must’ve planned to have a piece of gold for himself!Seeing that Hazel and Steven came together must’ve made Harvey quite jealous. That was why he started to insult Steven.At this moment, Hazel had
Steven Walker sighed. He was too tired to even talk with Harvey York any longer. He looked at Kelly Malone and said, “Uncle Malone, I won’t tell my uncle, Deputy Branch Leader Walker, about this out of respect for Hazel Malone and Aunty Malone.“But, you best send this country bumpkin back to where he came from.“If not, even I can’t help you if he were to spout nonsense outside.”Steven let out a sigh, then turned around and left after saying those words. He felt like he would be dragged into the mess if he even stayed in the same room as Harvey.All the other guests had their eyes twitching, then all of them stood up and showed forced smiles on their faces.“CEO Malone, I still have some business to attend to back home, so I’ll be leaving now. I’ll treat you to a meal next time! Next time!”After a few words, the guests ran faster than rabbits ever could.With the crazy person, Harvey, spouting nonsense here, the guests would also be in trouble if someone from Longmen were to
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
