Harvey smiled and curled his fingers in Fred’s direction.Fred looked disdainful. He approached Harvey again and barked, “Why? Do you still want to provoke me and let me come over?”“Come, come, come! Hit me!”“Come on, just hit me!”“If you don’t hit me, you’re a coward! A bastard…”Slap!Before Fred could finish his words, Harvey instantly slapped him.“Argh!” Fred screamed in pain, blood spurting from his mouth and nose. He was sent flying and hit the wall before falling to the ground, looking extremely miserable.The crowd was shocked. The female stars’ faces slackened with fear and disbelief.Larry’s hand, which was about to light up his cigar, stiffened and it trembled slightly in mid-air.Even Elisa Jean, who was initially calm and relaxed, was also slightly taken aback.She never imagined that Harvey would actually hit Fred.Before her eyes, to boot?Anger surged up in her heart. Elisa, who was always domineering, felt that she was being trampled under someone’s fo
Elisa was taken aback for a moment when she saw the newcomer. The next second, she quickly regained her composure once more.She had already heard from Larry and the others that this woman was probably Harvey’s backer. Although she was surprised, she wasn’t completely shocked.She stared enviously at Yona’s beautiful, youthful visage and remarked coldly, “I was wondering who’s actually acting pretentiously?”“Turns out it’s Miss Yona Lynch, known as the number one socialite in Mordu’s upper circles!”“You may be a huge celebrity, Miss Lynch, but frankly speaking, you’re just Benjamin Lynch’s glorified secretary.”“Browsing documents, arranging the itinerary, even serving tea and washing the lavatories… these are your specialties.”“Tasks like upholding the justice of the law, arresting and interrogating people are certainly out of your league!”“You’re just a secretary. You don’t have any jurisdiction over me!”“For Benjamin’s sake, I won’t hold you accountable for obstructing
“Of course.” Yona’s expression remained unchanged.Elisa said with a half-smile, “Beating Fred like this, letting Mr. Chambers suffer huge losses, and even ruining Prince Patel’s plaque…”“I’m afraid you won’t be able to protect him with just your name, Yona.”“Then how about adding my name, Benjamin Lync, into the mix? Is that enough, Elisa?”At that moment, a majestic voice filled the air.Benjamin strode in, accompanied by his secretary and bodyguard.Benjamin Lynch?!Elisa’s face instantly turned pale the moment she saw him.As for Larry and the rest, their complexions also changed again and again.Against Yona, Elisa still dared to be arrogant and domineering, even going as far as to give scathing comments. But facing the far more superior Benjamin, she didn’t even dare let out a fart. Benjamin walked to Elisa and said indifferently, “Brother York is my guest. He’s also my savior.”“But, I have respect for the law. If you can show me evidence of Brother York violati
“Director Jean?”Benjamin was indifferent. “She wasn’t the Director before, and she won’t have the chance to be the Director in the future.”“From now on, she is not the Deputy Director anymore.”Benjamin only needed to say one sentence to get rid of the evil Elisa.“Rubbish!”The female star who just spoke was dissatisfied. “Director Jean isn’t just the Deputy Director of Mordu Police Station!”“She’s also a member of the Jean family of Mordu!”“Do you really think you can do anything to her?”This female star had become popular only recently. Her status in the entertainment industry was about the same as Fred’s.Seeing her idol Elisa n beaten and threatened by the other party into losing her title, the female star was deeply unhappy.Benjamin took the handkerchief his secretary handed to him and slowly wiped his fingers. At the same time, he said indifferently, “Then you should ask Elisa and see if the Jeans can protect her.”“Shut up!”Elisa quickly stood back up and s
Elisa’s complexion became extremely awful after hearing Benjamin’s words.She knew very well that if Benjamin had already said that, then her future and wealth were ruined.The Jeans would never stand up and speak for her.After all, she was originally a collateral member of the Jean family. She was not a direct descendant.Thinking of this, Elisa felt dizzy. She subconsciously glared at Larry, wishing to choke him to death at this very instant.He was the one who dragged her into this mess today! Otherwise, would this have happened to her?Fred covered his face, his complexion awful. Even Elisa was suppressed, so how could a small filmmaker like him survive?Only Larry could maintain a certain degree of calmness.However, he also knew what happened would certainly cause him and Elias a lot of trouble.He might have to give the Jean family of Mordu an explanation.Elias would also find him incapable and drive him out.Thinking of this, Larry could only toughen himself and sa
“Consequences?!”Benjamin remained indifferent.“Then I’d like to see them.”He glanced at Yona and said lightly, “Yona, inform all the companies and groups under the Lynch family of Sunan to terminate all cooperation with Hengdian World Studios.”“Tell the public that I have a problem with Elisa Jean having no respect for the law.”“Whoever dares to get along with them will be considered my enemy!”“I’m going to let you know how it would get back to you, and how serious the consequences are.”“Yes!” Yona quickly responded. In front of everyone, she began dialing several numbers. As Yona made the calls one by one, Elisa, Larry, and the rest of their posse looked extremely wretched.They never imagined that they would meet their defeat today.Not only did Benjamin come to help Harvey, but he also went all out to support Harvey.Even if they were backed by Elias and the Jeans of Mordu, they would still suffer major losses.“York, do you want to see Mordu’s big shots fight ea
Larry, Fred, and all of the female stars bore mocking expressions.Harvey was being far too pretentious! He actually saw himself as someone amazing. An insignificant security guard actually wanted to take action against Hengdian World Studios himself?Was he out of his mind?Wasn’t Benjamin who was in front of them his largest backer?Without Benjamin, what could Harvey do?Only Benjamin and Yona showed great interest.Both were well aware of Harvey’s abilities, but Harvey had never shown any of it yet. If they took advantage of today's timing, they might be able to see Harvey’s true strength.Harvey didn’t respond to the sneering gazes directed at him. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed a number.“Oppress Hengdian World Studios for me.”“I hope that from now on, Hengdian World Studios’ stocks will crash.”“Their reputation must be completely shattered.”“All artists and actors under the Hengdian World Studios will be hated by everyone.”Harvey casually hung up the
“What?!”Larry’s body trembled all over after hearing Fred’s words. He subconsciously stammered, “How is this possible?!”The other female stars were also shocked. Their eyelids twitched wildly when they looked at Harvey.No one imagined that Harvey could trample Hengdian World Studios Group so quickly and so remarkably.Who the hell was this brat?How could he have such terrifying power?Creak!After a while, someone pushed open the door of the ward. The leading inspector ignored Elisa, who was present, and instantly handcuffed Larry.“Mr. Chambers. Just now, eighteen actresses reported to us at the same time that you have forced them to sleep with you.”“Please cooperate with the investigation.”“They have provided enough evidence, including the clothes, surveillance video, and so on.”“Your crime is unforgivable. Please come back with us. If you can’t explain yourself clearly, you don’t have to go out.”Looking at the warrant in the hand of this leading inspector, the co
"Bro! Big bro! I finally got it now! You're Harvey York, the guy who stole Dan's spot of becoming representative! To be able to become a lackey of someone like you… Oh, this is such a glorious day for me and my family!" Alexei said excitedly."Big bro, since this is your first time here, you're not familiar with Grand City, right? Let's see… Let me personally take you to the Golden Road! I have a car, so it'll definitely be faster than you travelling on foot, right?"Alexei had already swiftly got into his Range Rover. After starting the car, he performed a handsome drift and stopped right in front of Harvey. Harvey hesitated a little but still got into the car.Since… He really didn't know Grand City well. By the time he arrived, it might already be too late.As he got into the car, Harvey checked the texts in his phone. There should be a livestream from Geoffrey's people who were on the ground. The Dragon Gate training hall had always been quite discreet. While they had put up
After hearing that, Harvey was stunned. The corner of his eyes twitched. He didn't expect that Alexei would be so idiotic.One shouldn't say such words without running them through their mind first!When Alexei saw that Harvey didn't react, he continued. "What? Do you think my Senior Vaida is not pretty enough? Too aggressive? It's fine, there are plenty of clubs in Grand City too! I can always take you to the clubs to check on the pretty ones to make you understand what it means to have paradise on Earth! No matter what happens, you're my big bro now! You'll be my big bro forever! You have to protect me from now on!" As he said that, Alexei even wanted to drag Harvey to get their relationship certified.Harvey blinked. He really had no idea how to deal with someone like this. But with Alexei close by, Harvey believed that Alexei could able to help with his objective here. Currently, Grand City is like a body of still water. No matter how much things were bubbling underneath t
After saying all that, Vaida turned and left. Harvey understood that Vaida probably had some clues about this, but she needed to do her investigation.Harvey didn't know how to feel when he saw Vaida was back to normal. Other than mistaking him for her man of destiny, Vaida was acting like a normal person.Once Vaida's figure had completely disappeared, Alexei turned around and looked at Harvey for a while, his expression still dark. He snorted and said, "Don't take this the wrong way and think you're my big bro now, Harvey. It's true you saved me, but you still deserve to die for putting Senior Vaida in your crosshair! I'm someone who compartmentalizes these things. I'll repay you for saving me, but I'll snuff out your desire as well."Harvey smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry. I won't stay in Grand City for long.""Really?" Alexei said happily, but then he quickly spoke in a huffy manner. "If that's the case, you're my guest! No matter where you want to go, or what you want t
When Vaida saw that she managed to scare Alexei, she sighed. However, there was pity in her eyes. After a moment, she still coldly said, "Remember. From now on, Harvey is your big bro. From now on, you'll have to listen to everything he says in Grand City, okay? If you won't, I'll immediately kick you out. Understand?"Harvey didn't sense any maliciousness in Vaida's words. Instead, he could sense how frustrated and disappointed she was from her tone. If it wasn't because Alexei was being so useless, Vaida wouldn't be in the situation she was in right now.But… Harvey didn't hate Alexei's character. From a certain angle, he liked Alexei."Understood, Senior Vaida. I'll listen to you," Alexei said in a defeated tone. He even looked deflated physically, as if he was sighing.Looking at how pitiful Alexei was, Harvey couldn't stop himself from smiling. He took a step forward, saying, "Vaida, I was a little harsh on him just now, so it's not his fault. But both he and I got to know e
Harvey realized why Dan was the best choice to succeed the previous mayor. Vaida was schizophrenic, and then his oldest disciple was…this.Who else can the Belladonna Cult depend on other than Dan?"Senior Vaida! Where are you? We haven't met for so long, but you brought a man home just like this! He's bullying me! This Harvey is bullying me!" Alexei screamed. His next step was probably going to be rolling on the ground."I have enough! I don't want to live anymore! It's either he's gone, or I'm gone! It's either he dies, or I die! You have to know who has a closer relationship with you! Don't become an enemy to your dear junior just because of a pretty boy!" Alexei's face was full of tears and mucus. No matter how Harvey looked at him, Harvey felt like he didn't have much intelligence at all.Harvey's eye twitched. Whether it was an arrogant scion or a haughty young master, he could simply slap the man to the ground and kick him to the curb. But… What was he supposed to do w
Harvey was stunned. What was going on? The childhood friend was out here too? Harvey stared intently at the man with the machete, who looked around 23 or 24. He was at least around 200 pounds, and he looked like an explosive keg. While he held a machete, his face was a strange, pallid color.With just one look, Harvey was sure that had severe internal injuries and didn't manage to recover. Harvey glanced at the Beads of Eye he was carrying on his chest, finding it strange."Come out, Harvey! Face me if you're a man!" roared the man, looking like he was going to explode at any time. The moment he saw Harvey, who was on his way to go on a walk, he instantly stormed forward and raised his machete.He roared at Harvey, "You're that idiot Harvey, right? Tell me, how did you lie to Vaida? She's my goddess! You can't just get close to her whenever you want!"Harvey looked at him curiously. "Why don't you tell me who you are?""Who am I?" The angry man waved his machete. "I'm the olde
Harvey could not stop rolling his eyes as he could feel his head throbbing again, but he still suppressed what he was feeling. "Thanks, but I don't like anything too greasy in the morning. I prefer vegetarian if possible. You can put the deep-fried hoppers aside. I'll reheat it in the afternoon."Vaida blinked her beautiful eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "I see. We'll set it aside for now, then. This is a local delicacy in Grand City. You can't even buy this with money.""Thanks; I appreciate it," replied Harvey, feeling the pressure. He had no choice but to get himself a bowl of oats with milk and slowly eat it. Harvey was worried Vaida might add something special to the oats or milk, but after eating, he realized there was nothing weird in it. It was just delicious.If food also had realms, while this was not at the level of a True Warrior, it was definitely at the level of a King of Arms. That was something that Harvey found surprising."Right, Harvey. I heard you become
"Oh, right," Geoffrey remembered something else. "While Harvey was the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, his identity isn't accepted by the seven families of Grand City. In other words, he has no support in Grand City at all. Even if everyone recognized that he is indeed your man of destiny, it's difficult for him to become mayor. Grand City is no longer the same city as it was a decade ago."Vaida frowned and said, "Getting Harvey to garner support in Grand City is not difficult. Find a way to make him the leader of the Belladonna Cult. Before making him the mayor, we can make him the cult leader first."That way, not only can we make it easier for Harvey, but we can also disgust the hell out of Dan. He's been obsessed with taking over the cult, right? Does he really think he can become mayor after becoming the leader of two of the seven families? He's dreaming!"Geoffrey was speechless. "Things aren't as easy as you think. If you simply give the cult to Harvey
"Not to mention, during the decade that the ex-mayor had disappeared, the entire Grand City had lost their respect toward him and the Belladonna Cult. Even you have become someone who only existed in the fringe. While Grand City looks like it didn't have a singular leader, the Hierophant's prophecy was guiding everything."That’s why we must be patient. On the one hand, we needed to make Harvey accept all of this. On the other hand, we have to rebuild a solid foundation as we advance. We will make the entirety of Grand City understand that the Belladonna Cult is still the same cult that rules over all! Only then can we obtain everything he has left for us."Then, Geoffrey cleared his throat. "Even I can wait for so long. I believe you'll be fine, correct?"Vaida gave it a thought, but she still hesitated. It was good for her that someone like Harvey, who fit the prophecy, appeared. But the problem was… This was supposed to be done slowly. Trouble was brewing underneath Grand City. H
