A forced surrender!Master Ziegler was obviously forcing Harvey to surrender.Though Benjamin looked up to Harvey, he was more worried about his wife than anyone else.Benjamin could only sigh at that moment.“Sir York, you can see my wife’s condition. She was indeed cursed.”“We’ll leave it to Master Ziegler. Please, show me some respect and don’t speak any more.”“Did you hear that?!” Timothy loathed Harvey. He quickly followed up on Benjamin’s words and deliberately struck a verbal blow on Harvey.“Only specialized professionals know how to deal with metaphysics and geomancy. An outsider like you should stop butting in! If you chase Master Ziegler away, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”Harvey replied calmly, “But Lady Lynch isn’t cursed at all. Her body’s under a malicious incantation.”“Her being able to sleep this soundly is not due to Master Ziegler’s efforts. Incantations are the most powerful during evenings. Whoever caused this is most likely storing pow
Harvey nodded, then turned around and left without saying another word.Seeing him leave, Yona hurriedly followed him.Timothy watched her with a frustrated expression. He had unspeakable feelings for Yona. He wouldn’t allow any other man to get close to Yona, especially Harvey……Outside the Lynch Residence, Harvey called a cab and was about to leave the area. Yona swiftly ran over and apologized quietly.“I’m sorry, Sir York. My godfather is only blinded by his worries. I didn’t quite believe Master Ziegler either, but…”“One more thing…”Harvey shook his head to dissuade Yona from apologizing. “Master Ziegler might have a bit of talent, but incantations are man made. I couldn’t figure out why someone would do this, but whoever the culprit is, he or she has been planning this for a long time. I doubt they're only targeting your godmother.”“The culprit would most likely use your godmother to kill your godfather, so prepare yourself accordingly as soon as you can.”After
Harvey looked calmly at Timothy, not at all perturbed. “I’m not fighting you for a woman.”Timothy flashed Harvey a prideful smirk at Harvey’s words. He thought that Harvey’s words were a sign of submission, and that Harvey was now under his control. But before he could even reply, Harvey continued.“You don’t have the right to fight me, nor are you worthy.”“I’m not worthy?!”Timothy froze, stunned. A second later, he roared with disdainful laughter.“Harvey York, do you think that you’re some sort of big shot?”“Do you think that tricking my brother-in-law into liking you would gain you some measure of authority around here? Do you think you can look down on me because of this?”“Yes, my brother-in-law did like you. He even allowed Yona to take care of you then. But do you really think you have any more value in his eyes after the earlier incident?”“Let me tell you right now! Even if I break all of your limbs, he wouldn’t even care!”“To me, you’re just filth that failed to
A loud boom followed suit.Timothy was sent flying, landing right on one of the cars parked nearby. The headlights of the car shattered completely as his body crashed into the car.Blood leaked out of Timothy’s forehead. The cigar that he was dangling around fell on the ground.Hissssss!Harvey did not stop there. He picked the cigar off the ground, then pressed it right onto Timothy’s bleeding forehead.“Aaaaaaaargh!”Timothy screamed in pain, the sound like a pig being slaughtered.The cigar was extremely hot, perhaps around two hundred degrees hot. If Timothy did not scream, he would not be human.Timothy’s entire body twitched in agony. He subconsciously looked up, trying to move away from the bright red tip of the cigar.But right as he moved his head up, Harvey stuffed the cigar right into his mouth.Timothy’s cries of pain rang louder than ever.The entire crowd fell into stunned shock.Everyone was dumbfounded. Nobody expected that Harvey had the guts to torture Tim
Timothy was neither a prince nor a master, but his sister was too kind and spoiled him rotten.That was why he had the gall to blatantly use Benjamin’s name and flaunt his authority everywhere and anywhere he wanted. He even wanted to make Yona his.When outsiders tried to show off in Mordu, Timothy would spare them no mercy and crushed every single one of them.Not long ago, a few arrogant young masters from wealthy families in Wolsing wanted to fight Timothy for a woman. Yet they all ended up in humiliating defeat.Who was Timothy?Who did he need to fear?!Yet, a stinking hillbilly actually kicked him down to the ground and beat him up.Timothy was frothing with anger.This hillbilly had beaten up so much without a care for the terrible consequences. Not only that, he arrogantly added that Timothy was allowed to call whoever any of his cronies.Timothy was so angry, he stopped feeling the pain in his injured body. He and his followers hurriedly made phone calls.Harvey,
“Consequences?!”Harvey laughed, unperturbed.“Weren’t the consequences just you getting kicked and slapped?”“You bastard! You’re still being this arrogant even at this point?!”“Let me warn you right now! I even invited Longmen’s Young Master Aiden Bauer here! Let’s see if your attitude will stay the same when he arrives!”Timothy was enraged. He could not stand the fact that a stupid hillbilly dared to go against him to this degree.Harvey smiled.“Is that so?”“Unfortunately, Aiden will disappoint you.”Boom!Right as the two were still in the middle of talking, a row of dark green Toyota Land Cruisers drove over at a steady speed. The sight was quite shocking to everyone present.The Land Cruisers sped to the center of the road and stopped right in front of Timothy.The sound of the car doors being kicked open followed suit. Eighteen fierce looking men in suits appeared. Their waists seemed packed, obviously full of firearms. They carried menacing auras that were leagu
Those who were unaware of the whole story glared at Harvey, full of disdain.The women bore looks of utter loathing, despising Harvey to their cores. To them, Harvey was oblivious as to what his limits were.“You bastard! How dare you go against me, Aiden Bauer? Don’t you know that…”Aiden was filled with rage, and took a furious step forward to get a closer look at Harvey. The next moment, the two locked gazes.The insufferably arrogant Aiden Bauer fell into a spiral of terror the second he had a good look at Harvey’s face.He was thunderstruck. For a brief moment, his mind blanked. He never thought that his new boss was the so-called outsider everyone was talking about.“Sir…York…”Aiden’s body went limp along with his two feet, subconsciously wanting to kneel.But as his left leg was covered by a cast, he could not. If it weren’t for the cast, he would’ve been on the ground in a matter of seconds.“Young Master Bauer! That’s him! Harvey York!”Timothy turned his head a
Boom!Timothy and everyone present watched, their minds falling into absolute chaos.With only Harvey’s words, the young master of the Bauer family -- the man who had reserved the position as Mordu’s deputy branch leader of Longmen and was Kaizen Group’s executive CEO -- kneeled.It was fine if that was the only thing he did...But he even barked in front of everyone like a common mongrel!The entire crowd was at a loss. They couldn’t snap back to their senses.“Kneel with your back straight.”Harvey ordered with an indifferent tone.“Woof!”Aiden nodded respectfully and straightened his back, then leaned his face toward Harvey.Slap!Harvey slapped Aiden’s mouth, making Aiden’s head spin profusely.“Not only didn’t you do as I’ve ordered you before, you’re helping Timothy take revenge?”Aiden dared not explain himself.Slap!Harvey slapped Aiden’s face.“Do you think I’m keeping you alive so you can bully other people?”Aiden dared not open his mouth to retaliate. He
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
