“I didn’t mean that, Brother Tyson, I meant get rid of this fool…” Jake Surrey was confused at Tyson Woods’s sudden change of attitude. He thought Tyson was offended by his language, but who could resist that much money?“Did you just call me a fool again?” Tyson bellowed as he kicked Jake to the ground.“This Surrey guy just called me a fool, I’m gonna rip him apart myself!” Tyson yelled to his subordinates as they approached Jake.“Brother Tyson, I didn’t call you a fool! I came here to give you money!”“Brother Tyson, I’ll give you more!”“Why, Brother Tyson? Why?!”“Ahhh!”Jake let out a scream as he felt intense pain in his legs. He was just a pampered rich kid; he had no idea that he would ever face something like this.Jake fainted after a few seconds.“Sir, he passed out,” Tyson said respectfully as he walked towards Harvey.“So you’re accepting jobs from anyone now, huh? I made you who you are today to help me arrange resources, not to bully others. If you still don’
“The Brookes have a hand in both legal and illegal businesses. I heard that they run a security company which covers almost half of Niumhi’s territory,” Tyson said cryptically, then continued, “Two of our employees were beaten up the last time they went to tell them about the fund retrieval. It was a good thing our men interfered or they would be gone by now.”“Messing with the Yorks? How bold of them,” Harvey laughed, eyes gleaming in interest.“The Brookes are no big deal. I heard a rich kid from their family is close to Liam Stone, maybe that’s why they’re so cocky,” Tyson scoffed.Liam Stone was another thug in Niumhi. Both Liam’s and Tyson’s power were about the same, but they couldn’t do anything to each other.“So you mean that Liam is the backbone of the Brookes? Are you trying to tell me that you can’t handle this?” Harvey asked, narrowing his eyes.“Of course not, but we could lose a lot of men if we picked a fight with them. I wouldn’t do it without your permission,” Ty
That afternoon, Harvey received a phone call from Mandy.“Harvey, the first transaction of funds from York Enterprise has just arrived, help me thank Miss Xavier for me,” Mandy requested, a hint of joy in her tone.“Huh?” Harvey nearly leaped out of his seat. Did Mandy know about his identity?!“Wasn’t she your classmate? I would like to treat her one day when she’s free,” Mandy continued cheerfully.“Alright, we’ll see how it goes. I heard she’s usually quite busy.” Harvey was relieved that his cover had not been blown, and carefully rejected Mandy’s offer. God knows what would happen if those two women became friends.“Oh right, I’ll be coming home late tonight. I have something to take care of first,” Harvey told Mandy as he planned to pay Liam Stone a visit that night.“Okay… but I’ll probably keep my door… unlocked…” Mandy said shyly after a moment of silence.Beep… Beep… Beep...Mandy ended the call immediately after that.Harvey was excited after hearing what Mandy had
Meanwhile, an elderly man dressed in traditional garbs stood waiting in the underground boxing gym. He surveyed his surroundings with an unhappy gaze, not making any attempts to hide his displeasure towards the place.Anyone who watches television broadcasts on treasure authentication would easily recognize this man. He was none other than Shane Naiswell, the grand master of treasure authentication.The reason for his arrival in the city of Niumhi was to have Harvey York authenticate an extremely valuable relic.However, his appearance in the gym tonight was for the purposes of meeting up with an old friend rather than work. Rosalie Naiswell, who stood beside him all this time, wore a similarly displeased expression.From the room where they were in, they received a clear view of the boxing competition held down in the ring.Although they hailed from a respected lineage, occasions like this were no stranger to them. As a family well-known for working with antiques, there were ti
This was the most exclusive and highly anticipated segment of the underground boxing gym. Its primary purpose was to promote interaction between the boxers and the audience, giving the audience a chance to experience boxing in the ring. If they won, they would be able to leave with cash prizes. However, such an outcome was impossible.After all, they were merely spectators. How would it be possible for them to defeat professional boxers?“I’ll go up and play for a while, then.” Harvey York chuckled and donned a face mask. With a swing of his arm, he flipped into the boxing ring.“Seems we have a very brave and mysterious challenger here with us who wants to be the first to get punched.” The referee said with a wide grin. He couldn’t hide his look of disdain. What’s the point of putting on a mysterious act when you’d just end up on the ground with your blood splattered everywhere? The last time the referee saw a man with an iron man mask participate, that very same man ended up beate
As he observed Rosalie’s changing expressions, Liam Stone sniggered inwardly. He wasn’t dense enough to ignore the implication that Rosalie Naiswell may have a special relationship with the man who had just climbed into the ring. Thinking this, he saw hope in having her all to himself. Without anyone noticing, Liam Stone quickly texted something on his phone. Once finished, he glanced over at Rosalie Naiswell. If everything went according to plan, this beautiful woman would be his tonight.…Outside the boxing ring.Standing in the spectator wing, Tyson Woods was on pins and needles. Harvey York was simply out of his mind. Facing Liam Stone in person to make the deal was a far better option than whatever he was attempting right now. Perhaps Harvey York couldn’t understand the meaning of the word ‘death.’…In the boxing ring.Harvey York casually wrapped his fists with white bandages, his expression neutral and unperturbed.His opponent, the boxer, studied him with an amused s
As he ended his sentence, Liam Stone was unable to hide his look of disgust. The boxer who had just got knocked out by Harvey York was in truth a reputable fighter in this gym, having once won ten consecutive matches. Though he may not be the strongest, his skills were definitely on the upper level. To actually defeat him would pose quite the challenge. “Miss Naiswell, the next one up is no normal boxer. Do you have any words for me?”Liam Stone turned to watch Rosalie Naiswell attentively.Rosalie’s face went as pale as a sheet. She clenched her teeth and replied, “Liam Stone, your subordinate has just lost a match…”“That’s right, one of my men just lost. But since I have to let you enjoy a good show, I can’t let you down.” Liam Stone grinned. “How about this? If you want to say stop, you should do it at the right time. Or else, I can’t guarantee what will happen…” He picked up his phone and made a call. “Find a better one. This man is someone our VIP friends here know, so b
“That’s entirely possible. Back when I was in the capital city, I’ve witnessed something like this. True masters of his kind have immersed themselves in the world of martial arts for a very long time.” Shane Naiswell replied with a chuckle. “They might not be as good as what was often described in martial arts novels, but one person killing a hundred men isn’t simply a legend.” Liam Stone’s face turned a shade darker. The more Shane Naiswell’s interest grew, the more embarrassed Liam Stone became.Rosalie Naiswell couldn’t focus on anything the two were saying. Her mind was blown away.This man was simply extraordinary! Even two terrifying boxers couldn’t defeat him. He was definitely not an incompetent deadbeat. Yet, he willingly became a live-in son-in-law and allowed himself to be taunted by everyone in the city. Why?Was it truly because of a woman? But he hadn’t even touched his wife’s hand even after three years of marriage, had he?Rosalie Naiswell’s thoughts were a confus
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
It was obvious everyone knew the kind of situation Yvonne was in, so none of them were in the mood to cook. Instead, they simply ordered some takeaway and tried to see what they could do about this as they had dinner."Sir, according to the clues we can cover, the one pushing and controlling this should be Linus. The data he had should be complete, but he knew we wouldn't publish the second half of the wedding, which was why they could do this without fear of reprisal," Ray said angrily."Also, all these people on the internet are so stupid. They started to spread rumors without knowing any truth… Damn them! Didn't they know they should let the bullets fly a little?"Tyson thought about that, and said, "Sir, give me the word and I'll be able to find all of them one by one. We'll make them pay for their mindless ramblings!"Harvey glared at him. "Do you think you're George? Find one for me, then. Not to mention, this isn't something that violence can solve.""But we can't let them
"Despite being one of the top ten families, they worked together with the Islanders to profit themselves. They allied themselves with our enemies and made the eldest of their daughters marry an Islander. The Xaviers, one of the most powerful families in Country H… Hmph. Just what kind of filth are they hiding under all the glamor?"Our people have been at the top of the world for so many years, but now, there are those that kneel to some Islanders? Disgraceful! Shameful!"After Linus had gone to the rest stop, several of the most famous message boards on the internet started to show some hot searches which included words like top ten families, collusion, Islanders, and words like that. These words are all very eye-catching, and since there are people intentionally pushing things along, a series of events very quickly occurred on the internet.First of all, someone summarized that the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families, were in a state of weakening. Then, someone pointed
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
