Larry did not care about Faye’s threats.Even though Faye had some capability, to Larry, she was just a social butterfly in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry.Why would he fear someone a mere wench was scared of?As for the response from the police force, he had already inquired about the reason why it happened.Benjamin Lynch, who only had a few days left to live, somehow got rid of his low spirits along with his sickness and had recently made a strong comeback in Mordu.As a member of the Lynch family, Jay’s status had once again risen up. Naturally, nobody would dare to touch him.Simply put, Harvey did not have a strong support, nor was he extremely strong. He was just lucky.With Benjamin’s rise, nobody within the police force would oppose Jay.After figuring out the situation, Larry’s expression became calm and peaceful again.He lit up another cigar and took a puff, then gave his orders to his subordinates.“Number one, find that man’s address. Tell Seth that he's the
“Mr. Chambers, something’s wrong! Mordu’s Security Management System sealed off the Hengdian World Studios today!”“They said that there are serious safety hazards in our studio that must be thoroughly investigated. Nobody’s allowed in for the time being.”“Also, Durin spent a lot of money buying off the internet-famous people that we lifted up recently!”“After the curtain event went public, Country J’s Star Chaebol requested to permanently cease our collaboration.”“Several well-known celebrities under our contract had their scandals publicized, too! I’m afraid they won’t be able to show up in public for the time being.”“In South Light, the banks working with us immediately froze all of our assets. They said that our studio is a huge debt risk, and that they will not unfreeze our assets for now!”“...”With just a single call, Larry’s expression changed over and over again.These were news that came from his subordinates, who were shocked by the unexpected turn of events.E
Prince Patel signalled Larry to sit and said calmly, “Just tell me if something happened. You know me, I don’t like beating around the bush.”Larry let out a long sigh before replying quietly, “Prince Patel, the reason I came here so suddenly is to ask for your help.”“I think… I might’ve offended a big character!”“Hengdian World Studios is in big trouble because of him. It might even go bankrupt…”“Big trouble?” Prince Patel asked, not giving a straight answer.“If I was beaten to death when I’m away from Mordu, of course you’ll be in trouble.”“But now that I’m here, who dares to go against you?”“I suspect this man might have connections with the Lynch family. However, I was too careless and offended him before running a background check on him.”Larry’s eyes were twitching profusely.“I sent someone to investigate, so it shouldn’t be long before his information is revealed.”Prince Patel remained calm. “There’s no need for that. If he isn’t from one of the top ten famili
Harvey turned around at the sound of angry yells. As he looked back, he heard the sounds of high heels clacking behind him.A plastic face appeared in his view.A tall, svelte woman with a body that had gone through heavy plastic surgery marched over with her companions. She pointed haughtily at Harvey.“Who are you?”“Who let you in here?”“Don’t you know that this is the Keaton Real Estates’ banquet?!”“This isn’t a place just about anyone can waltz into!”“Unless you have an invitation, get out of here right now!”The plastic-faced woman glared at Harvey, filled with disdain. Naturally, she assumed that Harvey was just a dirty hillbilly sneaking in the banquet for some food.“I’m giving you one minute. If you don’t get out of here right now, I’ll get someone to break your legs and throw you out!”She was one of the core members of Keaton Real Estates, and was considered to be quite the big shot. Hence, her arrogance. Harvey did not say anything. Instead, he scrolled thro
Abbie Xavier waved her hand coldly after saying this. Suddenly, a few bodyguards walked over respectfully.“Secretary Xavier, what’s the matter?”Abbie turned around and said coldly, “Drive this little devil out. Don’t let him be an eyesore here!”Abbie was about to leave after speaking.The female employees behind her also looked at Harvey York with pity.This guy certainly did not know where he stood. He was certainly being suicidal! Coming to this place and challenged Keaton Real Estates.Several bodyguards came over with truncheons, trying to escort him out.Harvey said indifferently, “Abbie, do you want an invitation letter?”“I have a few with me. Do you dare to read them?”Abbie turned around and said coldly, “Do you have an invitation letter? If you can produce it, then I’ll kneel!”“Then you should be kneeling!”Harvey stepped forward in the next second.Slap!A crisp slap struck Abbie’s face, and her whole body flew out. A red palm print appeared on her plastic f
Bang!Both leaves of the brass door were knocked down by Harvey York’s kick to the ground, making a deafening noise.Everyone in the hall was startled, and they unconsciously looked over.The host speaking on the stage stopped abruptly and turned speechless as if he was being grabbed by someone by the neck.Seth Keaton was outclassed in Mordu. Nonetheless, he still had tens of millions of dollars in assets, after all. Thus, he had a good reputation in the real estate industry.All those who were invited by him to the banquet had high status and identity.No one expected that someone would knock open the door in such a way, unscrupulously and arrogantly.“Who are you?!”Everyone present also saw Seth’s secretary limping in the doorway, convulsing all over.More than ten of Seth’s bodyguards ran over in an instant. The one leading even screamed, and they all took out their truncheons and electric batons.“Who?! Who let you come and make trouble here?!“Do you know what place t
Seeing how Harvey York effortlessly knocked down all of Seth’s bodyguards to the ground, everyone finally understood why this little devil was being so arrogant.It turned out that he did have some skills.At this moment, Seth Keaton slightly squinted and did not care too much about Harvey’s ability in which he swept out all those people in an instant.After all, firearms were still more powerful than combat power in modern society.Power, status, wealth, and energy could instantly crush people more than the masters.There were so many ways to kill a strong master. There was no need to clash head-on with him.Meanwhile, Seth sent out a message calmly, asking the leading bodyguard to send over a few more bodyguards with firearms.Harvey looked indifferent and said coldly, “Seth, you still don’t want to come out at this point?”At this moment, an old man in a Chinese suit stood up, stared at Harvey with the noble aura of a superior.“Young man, do you know this is the center of
The old man in the suit screamed and struggled to get up. He then grabbed a wine bottle angrily after that, “Little brat, how dare you hit me?!! I’ll kill you!”Slap!Harvey York slapped the old man and once again sent him flying out!“I know myself very well. I said these things and did these things just to find out the truth!“You can go to the police! You can sue me! You can hire a lawyer!“But these aren’t the reasons for you to condone violence!“There’s law in today’s society!“As for your behavior, whether it’s right or wrong, I’ll have to send you to the police station first!”Harvey instantly returned the exact words to the old man, verbatim.The old man was so angry that he started to vomit blood. “You…”Harvey merely ignored him and walked up to the podium. Then, he kicked the various gifts prepared on the podium to the ground. He then looked around the audience again and said, “Seth Keaton, you still don’t want to come out now?”“Young man, don’t you know that I’
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
"If you're sober, bend your knee to the ladies and apologize, or I'll kill you!" Harvey snarled.The long-haired man was arrogant, but it was obvious for all that Harvey was even more so. All the spectators were shocked. It was the first time they saw someone acting so arrogant.The long-haired man finally realized what had happened; he held his face and yelled, "You idiot! How dare you touch me?"Harvey gave him another slap. "So what if I do? Can't I afford to? Do you want me to hit you a dozen times?"The long-haired young man didn't expect Harvey to make a move despite the current circumstances, and was completely stunned. He held his completely swollen face and screamed, "How dare you touch me! Kill him! I want him ground to dust!"Clang!Just as the men and women wanted to stand and attack Harvey, Durandal put down the teacup in his hand with a clang. He waved his right hand and said, "All of you… Are you blind? Can't you see that this is Ms. Mandy Zimmer, the leader of t
"150 million isn't enough?""1.5 billion?"Everyone gasped the moment they heard what Harvey had to say. At the same time, many people turned and looked at him at the same time. Aside from shock and disbelief, they looked like they were looking at a fool.Everyone could see that Durandal had already completely decimated this underground fighting pit. The Ninth Branch had lost hundreds of millions of dollars by now. No matter how sharp Maya's tongue was, it couldn't hide the fact that they had lost a lot of money.So when Harvey took the initiative and said something like that, many simply thought it was for their pride. Everyone knew that at this time, one should surrender and not scream in defiance. The men and women around Durandal all stared at Harvey. They didn't feel scared or excited, simply scornful.Mandy wanted to say something, but after hearing Harvey, she decided to keep silent and let him take control of everything. She believed that he could help her."Madam! Sir
Maya looked horrified. She was the one organizing things for the Ninth Branch. This fighter was already the most powerful the Ninth Branch had, but she didn't expect him to act like a complete newbie.As for Durandal, he picked up his teacup and sipped it. His phone screen was showing a game. It was obvious the fight in front of him had already been decided…and he was bored. A mobile game was even a better time killer than this.In some way, this was truly a way of showing how high and mighty he was.Meanwhile, a woman wearing a coat next to Durandal looked at the fight with scorn. It was obvious that the fight in front of her wasn't that interesting.After exchanging blows, the fighter from the Ninth Branch had completely lost his advantage. The Boxing Champion spun and broke his right arm in one strike.Crack!Before he could even scream, the Boxing King swooped right in front of him, then grabbed his head before punching him with all his might.Pfft…Blood immediately came o
"It was clear that this so-called champion had won countless matches. Otherwise, the spectators wouldn't be so excited when they saw him. Some of the women roared and screamed as if they were on cloud nine. The air was full of passion and excitement, as if this champion could really defeat everyone under the sun.Mandy frowned as she looked at the scene, and said slowly, "That's the elite fighter Durandal brought here. From the way he fought, he was indeed someone who had been fighting in underground fighting rings like ours for a long time. He calls himself the Boxing Champion, and has already won five bouts today. He has won at least 75 million dollars from us.""I see… He's a money printer…" Harvey looked at him and nodded. "From the surface, he's a peak King of Arms. If he let himself go, I believe he might be able to fight against those close to True Warrior."Mandy nodded before continuing, "He's just one of the elites Durandal brought with him. Other than him, there's the K
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
