Xynthia froze. A second later, she sputtered indignantly, “Mr. Keaton, I did not do that!”“I couldn’t even react when the curtain fell! I myself was scared!”“I’m a victim too! I didn’t use Stacy as a shield, either!”“You can’t accuse me like that!”Seth replied coldly, “I’m accusing you? Between Director Miller and a nobody like you, who do you think is more trustworthy?” “Even if you didn’t push Stacy, why didn’t you help block the curtain for her?”“She’s the main female lead of this movie! As a supporting character, aren’t you supposed to protect her anyway?”“Even if you’re not the culprit, you only stood by while Stacy was in danger.”“Explain this to me!”In her anger, Xynthia began to laugh.“Mr. Keaton! Since you said that, you should understand that I’d never push Stacy.”“Protecting her? I’m not even her bodyguard! I’m just a weak woman myself. What can I do?”“Do you want me to just stand there and take the hit instead?”“I’m sad about what happened to Stacy
Xynthia finally understood why Seth was gunning after her. She gritted her teeth and replied, “I won’t do either of those things! This accident has nothing to do with me, anyway!”Slap!Seth slapped Xynthia’s face again.“It does when I say that it does!”“You’re just an unknown actress! How dare you talk to me about logic?!”Seth chuckled coldly. He was one of Mordu’s biggest real estate tycoons, with hundreds of million dollars worth of assets.He was on good terms as well with the Holt family as well. If he wanted to, he could just sleep with any actress in the entertainment industry.Yet, a mere supporting character dared to go against him.“Fine! Since you don’t want to choose, I’ll choose for you!”Seth grabbed Xynthia’s hair and dragged her into a room on the side.“I’ll make you serve me nicely. Then, you’ll kneel in front of my wife!”How could Xynthia agree to those terms? She began to struggle desperately.“I’m going to call the police!”“I don’t believe that
“It’s nothing like that at all!”“Stacy was just unlucky!”“Director Miller wanted to shift the blame, and CEO Keaton was extremely unreasonable! That’s why they all took their anger out on Xynthia!”“CEO Keaton isn’t human at all! He had other plans for Xynthia this whole time!”The girls could no longer hold back, and swiftly explained everything to Harvey.They also told Harvey that Seth almost took advantage of Xynthia.If it weren’t for Xynthia’s stout character, she would’ve ended up in a much worse condition.Harvey was initially furious, but after a while, he calmed himself down.He quickly understood that this whole incident was just a setup against Xynthia.Stacy getting hurt and Seth’s violence must’ve been all part of the plan.No matter who set all this up, Seth and all the related people would still need to be punished for their actions.Before Harvey could say anything, the female infirmary staff glared and screamed at the girls.“You filthy actresses! You da
The car doors opened to reveal a dozen inspectors in uniforms.A few security guards around the place tried to stop them, but the inspector leading the group kicked them right to the ground.They then marched right toward the infirmary in a straight line.The inspector leading the group saluted right in front of Harvey. “Sir York! I am Jay Bourne, captain of Mordu Police Station from the Hengdian district. Ms. Lynch already gave me a call before.”“Please give us your orders!”“We’ll make sure to do things by the book!”The staff trembled slightly after seeing the fully-armed inspectors show up. Her pride was no longer there.She did not expect police from the Hengdian district to actually appear simply because of Harvey’s call.“Xynthia’s Apple phone, Hermes bag, Cartier watch, rings, and money are gone…among other things.”Previously, Harvey had already asked the girls about Xynthia’s missing belongings and who had taken them.“Find me those things.”“Arrest the people who
Fred was feeling very conceited.Not only was he a director, he was also from Hong Kong. Often, he wielded significant authority in Country H. Even the police did not dare to touch him.As such, he was confident that he could trample on these nobodies standing before him.“You’re the director?” Harvey asked calmly.“That’s right, I am! Who are you…”Slap!Before Fred was even done speaking, Harvey had already moved forward and slapped him hard on the face. With just a simple slap, Fred’s face was already crooked and swollen.Fred froze, and then wailed in pain. He covered his face and screamed, “You bastard! How dare you hit me?!”“Don’t you know what death is?!”The followers behind him were seething.“Do you even know what this place is, you brat?! How dare you hit someone here!”“Do you think we can’t end you?!”“Director Miller is nobility, and yet you dared to hit him? You’re finished!”The crowd of followers were jumping in anger while Harvey walked forward nonchal
Fred froze. He gritted his teeth and swiftly made a call.After ten minutes or so, the sound of high heels clacking from the entrance could be heard. A beautiful woman with an enchanting body and exquisite makeup entered, accompanied by her bodyguards.The woman walked in with her high heels, cold and haughty. “Fred, I heard that there’s an oblivious man causing trouble in Hengdian World Studios.”“Rest assured, you’ll have your justice. Young Master Flynn has asked me to mediate the affair.”“I do want to see who in Mordu has the guts to go against Young Master Flynn!”The enchanting woman was none other than the Black Widow, Faye Goddard herself.No one expected her to show up in Mordu after being kicked out of Buckwood, and for her to still be working for Matthew, the man leading the Four Masters of Mordu.She crossed her arms and walked nonchalantly toward the middle of the room. Her gaze landed on Harvey.Harvey sat in a darkened area, so Faye could not have a clear look a
Harvey walked forward nonchalantly and lightly slapped Faye on her face. He asked calmly, “So you’re Fred’s support?”“Y-ye… No…”Slap!Harvey swung his hand furiously across Faye’s face and exclaimed, “Louder! Did you not eat or something?”“No!”Faye trembled when she came back to her senses. She knelt on the ground, scared witless. “Sir York, I have nothing to do with this man!”‘Sir York?!’The crowd was dumbfounded to hear how she addressed Harvey. Nobody expected that a fierce and prideful woman like Faye would actually kneel in front of Harvey, let alone call him Sir York!What was going on here?!“You don’t?”“Then what are you doing here?” Harvey asked again.“I’m here to greet you myself, Sir York. If there’s nothing else, I’ll just leave right now… I’ll leave…!”Faye dearly wished that she had not come here in the first place.This man in front of her dared to send Matthew flying with a kick. Obviously, she would amount to nothing to him!In front of this m
Slap, slap, slap!Larry was merciless. He ruthlessly swung his palm against Fred’s face, slapping the latter dozens of times. Every single swing was full of power. Each time Fred got hit, he unleashed a loud yowl of pain. Harvey watched everything with narrowed eyes, saying nothing. He was curious. Larry kept on slapping Fred as he spoke. “It’s not that big of a deal when people come and cause trouble here.”“The problem is that you’re too useless! Not only did you let people act wildly, you even let a bunch of nobodies waltz in here as they please! Do you think I won’t be embarrassed?!”Naturally, Larry was openly insulting someone else.Jay could not help but say out loud, “You…”Harvey waved his hand, signalling Jay to quiet. He wanted to see what else Larry could do.“And how many times have I already told you?! Stay away from that woman whenever possible!”“She’s just a vixen who sleeps with countless people! She can show off if she bumps into an ordinary person, but wh
The VIP seats opposite Maya had a group of men and women chatting loudly in plain clothing. All of them looked arrogant, and the way they looked down on others seemed second nature to them. A bald man was in the center of it all. He was wearing a simple white jacket and a pair of outdated cloth shoes. When he sat there, he looked like he was shifting between a state of awareness or sleep."This is the man leading the challengers. All of them called him Mr. Parker." Mandy's eyes immediately fell on this bald man as she explained. It was obvious that while she wasn't here all the time, she knew a lot about the underground boxing gym.Harvey then asked calmly, "He's so easily identifiable. You really can't find anything about him at all?""Nothing. But to him, money is nothing but a number," Mandy sighed. "He didn't look anything unique, but from the limited edition Richard Mille watch he's wearing? That watch is called a 'Billionaire's Watch'. Just that alone is proof enough of how
"Even if they're really from another world, they wouldn't be anyone ordinary. They're dressed simply, but we could tell they're no ordinary people. They looked at all the other guests like they were ants, as if they stood on top of the world. Speaking of which, the one who led them was someone with the last name Parker…"At this point, Mandy found it difficult to continue the conversation. Not only did she lose so much money, but she wasn't even sure who she lost to. It was a total humiliation!"Parker… Not ordinary people… Looking down on everyone…" Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from Parkerville?"A few days ago, Harvey had just humiliated Clarion. In the days that followed, Clarion seemed to have completely disappeared. It didn't fit his modus operandi. Harvey started to suspect that the Parkers of Parkerville were behind this.Most importantly, they could anger him through Mandy. It seemed not everyone from Parkerville was brainless. At the very least, they were quite goo
Mandy kept mum.Harvey sighed. "Fine. Let's not talk about closing the underground boxing ring. Explain to me what has been going on lately. Just how much have you lost?"Mandy took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat opposite Harvey. She picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp before saying with a sigh, "Because of what happened with the real estate earlier, the Ninth Branch can't simply open up new markets in a short time. We're bleeding money every day. "I realized the Ninth Branch can be supported by just the underground boxing ring. Unfortunately, even our profit from the ring is falling. One of our shareholders gave us the idea to allow guests to bring their own fighters rather than simply betting on fighters. That way, it becomes a competition between the host and the guest."A few days ago, a group of guests came with eight elites and wanted to bet with the underground boxing ring. They said they'll be betting 7 million dollars a match. I didn't want to agr
Travis said mildly, "Logically speaking, you've been with Harvey for so long. You know him better than normal soldiers like us. You think that if we don't report what happens to him at such a critical time, we're hiding things from him. Won't he feel guilty once he finds out in the future?"In the past, he taught us that those who have martial power should serve the people and the country. Are you really going to say nothing to him at this point?"Ethan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We'll take it step by step. We might not really end up in a conflict on the border, so let me think about it."-The third ring of Wolsing, the Ninth Branch.In the CEO's office, Mandy had just poured Harvey a cup of coffee. She was stunned."How did you know about the underground boxing ring? We do have an asset like that, but since it's in a gray area, it's not suitable to be spoken of openly. "That place has raised a lot of martial arts elites and trained many of our security guards, which
"You'll get your chance. Maybe you'll find a chance to kill him and it'll be fine," Harvey said, patting Ethan on the shoulder. "You're here in Wolsing to make your annual report, right? We'll finish this first, then we'll go to the Judds of Wolsing. There are certain things that we need to deal with first. As for someone like Clarion… Don't worry about him."There was a strange expression on Ethan's face, but in the end, he took a deep breath and said, "Alright. I'll listen to you. I'll come to help you once I've made my annual report at the ministry."Suddenly, Ethan remembered something else. "Right, there's something quite problematic you didn't know. I heard one of the underground boxing gyms belonging to the Ninth Branch of the Jeans of Mordu, where Mandy is from, has been continuously challenged by someone. They've lost dozens of matches, and it's causing huge losses in the past few days."The underground boxing gym is located in the countryside of Wolsing, and it should be
While it was vital for Dan to see Sienna, it became something very few people noticed as the situation in Wolsing kept changing. This included Harvey. While his men had been keeping an eye on Dan and his entourage, even they couldn't confirm all his movements. A man like Dan had to keep their planned routes in secret more than anything else.Most importantly, there were quite a number of talented people around him. Even when George used everything Sky Corporation had access to, they couldn't find out everything clearly in a short time.After making their reports to Harvey, he made sure George's operations were funded even more and told George to find a way to hire more martial arts elites, as George's people were no longer sufficient to deal with what they had to do right now.The next few days had been quiet, as if nothing important was going to happen anymore in Wolsing.One morning, a man clad in military uniform stood outside Harvey's residence. It was Ethan Judd, the Longsword
"Right, there's something else," Dan said as he slapped his forehead. "It's almost time for my grandmother's 90th birthday. She's a good friend of our teacher. If you have the chance, please convince him not to stay in Wolsing all the time. He should head to Grand City once in a while. He might think things through after that."Sienna nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'll try talking to him. After all, staying in Grand City for a few days might improve his condition."After half an hour, Dan quietly left the temple of the Saint of Death and got back into the red car. Shortly, the car started and slowly left the national park.Once the car was back on Wolsing's freeway, the woman who had been playing with it called Lanny beamed and asked, "So, how did it go? Did that junior of yours change her impression of you?"Lanny crossed her legs, and the fragrance from her tickled Dan's nose. He wished he could immediately pounce on her and pull her pantyhose away."Things aren't that easy," D
"That's right, because he really impressed me. But the reason I'm impressed isn't because he has become the representative for the Martial Arts Alliance. It's simply because he's willing to fight for our country. Few people have such pure thoughts in this age," Sienna said after giving it a thought."That being said, few people know that I've been impressed. How did you find that out?"Dan smiled. "You must have forgotten something. While you're our teacher's last student, I'm also a favored student myself. Just because you called our teacher didn't mean we didn't remain in touch. I know you're impressed by him through our teacher as well. And I heard from our teacher that you want to find a chance to introduce him formally?" Hearing what Dan had said, Sienna nodded. She often mentioned Harvey to her teacher but did not expect her teacher to divulge it to Dan."The thought did cross my mind," Sienna said in honesty. "You should know that our teacher should have reached the level o
"As for Parkerville controlling the Martial Arts Alliance? I don't think you need to do that. Among all the Sacred Training Grounds, Parkerville is the one Sacred Training Ground that is linked to the broader society the most. The Country H government is aware of your actions and is on their guard."If you really manage to become the representative, not only will the top ten families suppress the Martial Arts Alliance, but even the five hidden families and the four pillars will do that. That way, it will simply make our factions lose our power due to infighting. It's a demerit for all of us," Sienna said with a hint of sternness."If I were you, I would spend some time in Wolsing, have dinner with your representative, warn him a little, talk about cooperation, and then leave. This is the best choice for us, for you, and for the entire country."When Dan heard what Sienna had to say, he smiled. "Thank you for your thoughts. However, as a man, my life should be one of glory and passio
