Gulping on food and drinks in such a high-end venue like the Paramount was an embarrassing act to those well-known ladies.‘Where did this guy come from?’‘Is he a reincarnation of a hungry ghost?’A middle-aged man wearing a suit then walked over soon after. He seemed pretty polite, but there was a fierce look in his eyes.Apparently, a person like that had been around the underworld for a while and recently retired.There was a name card on his chest, Hall Manager Lenny Thompson was written on the card.Lenny strutted toward Harvey York, then slapped Harvey’s plate onto the table and coldly exclaimed, “Sir, where is your invitation? Or can you tell me who brought you in here?”“What? Do I need an invitation to a banquet now?“I need another person to get me in too?“Is this place the Emperor’s palace now?”Harvey raised his eyebrows for a second, then grabbed a tart without minding anyone else.“How come I’ve never seen you ask for an invitation from other people?“Are yo
If anyone were just doing their job as they were told, Harvey York wouldn’t make it harder for them either. He wouldn’t mind telling them his background.But since Lenny Thompson obviously came here to support Steven Bauer, how could Harvey even possibly stay civil?“With the gods’ courage, you say?“Kid, I don’t need that to deal with you.“But speaking of, why are you doing this?”Lenny looked at Harvey as if he was a scoundrel that could not be taught.“Since you’re just a low-class person that doesn’t belong in this upper social circle, you shouldn’t be crashing without any invitation!“You should know that you wouldn’t gain anything other than embarrassing yourself by coming here without knowing your limits.“Do you understand what I’m talking about here?“If you are willing to get out of here obediently, I’ll pay for your cab myself.“I wouldn’t want a rotten egg spoiling the entire basket in the Paramount either. You understand, right?”Lenny then pulled out a hundred
A few tall and strong security guards came closer to Harvey York with cold expressions on their faces, ready to throw Harvey out.“I’m sorry! I brought him here!”Tamara Ebony and Xynthia Zimmer just came out after fixing their makeup.Seeing that Harvey was in a conflict with Lenny Thompson, they came forward to mediate the situation.Xynthia immediately rushed toward Lenny and apologized.“Manager Thompson, his name is Harvey. He’s my friend, and I brought him here to attend Lady Walker’s birthday banquet.“He’s quite rash, so please be patient with him!”Naturally, Xynthia didn’t want Harvey to be kicked out before the main event even started.Tamara glared at Harvey, full of disdain. But after seeing Xynthia standing up for Harvey, Tamara still quietly exclaimed, “Manager Thompson, please do it for my sake!“I’ll make him apologize!“Harvey York, hurry up and say sorry!”“There’s nothing else to say.”Harvey started to twirl the knife and fork in his hands.“I already
In Bryan Holt’s eyes, he could kill off an outsider like Harvey York with a flick of his finger. He could trample on Harvey however he pleased.Bryan felt like he was already giving enough respect toward Xynthia Zimmer for not taking action at that moment.“Young Master Holt, why are you here already?”Tamara Ebony could not help but get closer to Bryan, just as if she wanted to be merged with his body.At that moment, she pretended to stop the fight.“Mr. Harvey York here is a good friend of Xynthia’s.“When I went to fetch Xynthia, she said that she wouldn’t attend if Mr. York isn’t coming too.“That’s why I also invited him here.“Please don’t get mad, Young Master Holt. And don’t chase him away either. I won’t be able to keep Xynthia here if she wants to leave!”Tamara then looked at Harvey and said calmly, “Harvey, please don’t mind all of this. Young Master Holt is a very outspoken person. He has an extreme sense of loyalty as well, always sticking out for his fellow bro
“Maybe in the past, but all that changes now.”Just then, Harvey York decided to let the Kaizen Group take complete control of Mordu’s entertainment industry only to support Xynthia Zimmer and nothing else.If not, God knows how many random people would come to harass Xynthia when she was just trying to succeed in the industry. How annoying would that even be?Without a second thought, Harvey was too tired even to mind Bryan at that moment. He pulled out his phone and dialed Aiden Bauer’s number.“Two things. Number one, get into the market for Mordu’s entertainment industry. I want to see the company become number one for Mordu’s entertainment industry.“Number two, there is a person named Xynthia Zimmer. I’m supporting her while she’s in the entertainment industry. Kill off whoever dares to even take advantage of her!”Harvey nonchalantly hung up his phone after he was done talking.“Go on! Keep pretending!”Bryan Holt coldly laughed.“You must be so clueless, you country bu
Bryan Holt coldly chuckled while moving forward.Steven Walker coldly exclaimed, “Young Master Holt, I’m getting sick of this country bumpkin already! Let’s get him!”Tamara Ebony then subconsciously replied, “Young Master Holt, this isn’t the right occasion. You, of all people, should know the rules that the Paramount has. If we force our hand here, we will get in serious trouble!”Tamara naturally did not care about Harvey’s wellbeing. She was only afraid that she would be dragged into the situation.“Ms. Ebony, this country bumpkin is so arrogant right now! If I don’t kill him off now, my reputation will be tarnished entirely!“You should stay out of this matter! I’ll handle all responsibility for this incident!”Bryan strode forward fiercely after he was done talking.“Lady Kait Walker has arrived!” Someone exclaimed right at this moment.Everyone subconsciously turned their heads. Even the fierce Bryan had his flames diminished quite a bit.Harvey turned around, full of c
“Harvey York.”Before Tamara Ebony and the others introduced Harvey, he calmly continued talking.“I’m a security guard at Fragrant Hill clinging onto Xynthia Zimmer for food.”Kait Walker froze, then showed a hint of interest in her eyes.‘Someone actually dared to name their career in this day and age where everyone loves showing off. Truly interesting.’Xynthia was speechless for a moment. She did not know what to say.Her brother-in-law was always like this. But since she knew that Harvey must have other plans, she did not expose him then.Tamara, on the other hand, had her face turn beet red. She felt extremely embarrassed. Tamara was the one that brought Harvey in after all. Harvey tarnished her reputation when he declared to Kait that he was just a lowly security guard.Bryan Holt coldly exclaimed at that moment, “Lady Walker, I feel like we should just throw people who cling onto someone else for food like this out of here.“This circle doesn’t welcome people like that
“Is there something wrong?”Harvey York showed an indifferent expression, not even looking the three in the eye.Bryan Holt leaned closer and raised his wine glass toward Harvey.“Lady Walker is right. Since we all know each other, we’re all friends here!“We don’t have to be particular about making friends here! I’m here to apologize for how rash and rude I treated you earlier!”Steven Walker squinted his eyes and said, “Sir York, please be the better man here and don’t fuss about us clueless people. How does that sound?”Tamara Ebony leaned over as well.“Harvey, let’s all just get along in peace.”Xynthia Zimmer did not notice what was going on here since she was still chatting with a director in the crowd.Harvey gave a faint smile while looking at the three, then calmly replied, “I’m sorry, the three of you have no right to be my friend.“You’re not worthy!”“Ow!”Tamara twisted her high heels suddenly, and she almost fell to the ground. But she was fine since she fell
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
