Ten o’clock, Lujiazui, inside a large meeting room at the Walker Corporation building.Every single higher-up of the company was there. Every one of them had authority, status and was very outspoken.When Kait Walker, in a black suit, walked in with Harvey, who was calm and collected, everyone glared at them with judgemental eyes.Those gazes were filled with disdain, doubt, and rebellion, but none showed obedience in their eyes as Harvey wanted.Naturally, in their eyes, Kait’s sudden rise to power had ruined those people’s benefits along with their businesses up to this point.That was why those higher-ups were instinctively opposing her.Out of all those people, a man wearing an Armani suit, while dangling his cigar on his lips with a look of an unscrupulous playboy, was the most disgruntled.Inside the spacious meeting room, he was selfishly puffing smoke everywhere.Kait slightly frowned without saying anything, then walked toward the main seat and turned on the microphone
Harvey York squinted while looking at the man with an Armani suit.At the same time, he casually flipped through the documents in his hands.The man was extremely unscrupulous and did not pay any respect toward Harvey at all. He clearly had an extraordinary background.Harvey found information about the man soon after. He was Ronald John, Angelina John’s cousin and a collateral relative of the Golden Sands’ John family.The most important thing was that he was the former executive CEO.With Harvey taking the position would mean that Ronald was demoted back to an ordinary higher-up.Before Harvey even spoke, Kait Walker coldly gazed toward Ronald and said, “Ronald John, please think before you speak.“You know exactly how I took this position. You won’t be able to defame me with just a few words.“Besides, as the CEO, I have the authority to appoint someone I trust as the executive CEO.“If you’re dissatisfied, complain to the board of directors about it!“Another thing, watch
Everything happened because Kait Walker dismissed Ronald John from his position as executive CEO.Kait would have to take the blame if the company’s stocks were to plummet. She might even have to step down because of that incident as well!It was safe to say that those were elaborate traps set up by Justin Walker and Angelina John for her.Kait’s incapability would be blamed if she were to be fired on her first day in the position, and it wouldn’t be Justin’s fault for not keeping his promise!After understanding the situation, the higher-ups didn’t even bother standing up for Kait.They were all playfully looking at her, seeing how she would solve the problem in the end!After seeing Kait frown, Ronald then nonchalantly sat back on his chair and crossed his legs.“CEO Walker, let’s not talk about whether I should be reinstated as the executive CEO or not.“You should at least apologize to all the higher-ups and me here, right?“Because of you, everyone’s efforts for the past
“An explanation? I’ll give you an explanation right now.”Harvey York walked forward calmly, then swung his palm against Ronald John’s face again.Slap!“A mere higher-up dares to threaten both the CEO and the executive CEO?!”Slap!“Where did you get all this courage from?!”Slap!“CEO Walker already said earlier that my will is hers as well. I’m hitting you right now in her place!”Slap!“As the previous executive CEO, not only are you not doing your job properly and contributing to the company after getting such a high salary. You’re even threatening the company with your contract?”Slap!“The company gave you your paycheck for you to come up with ideas, not for you to rebel!”After a few slaps across his face, Ronald was severely bruised, but he was still screaming in anger then.“You bastard! How dare you hit me?!“It’s obviously because of you and Kait that Star Chaebol turned down the offer to work with us!“Both of you are responsible for this!”“We’re responsib
Looking at Ronald John, who was terrified and enraged at the same time, Harvey York threw a document on the table and calmly said, “So, what if it’s Star Chaebol? It’s just a business establishment from Country J anyway!“Is the power of attorney really hard to get from them? Do you really need the CEO or executive CEO to deal with this matter?“Any one of you higher-ups should be able to seal the deal!“If not, are you even worthy of getting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of salary and dividends?“Is the company paying you to slack off?”Harvey pointed at the resignation letters and coldly exclaimed, “If any of you think that I’m being too arrogant and illogical…“Or you think that your capabilities are limited and cannot complete the task. Then it’s simple: get out.“The people that get out right now will not miss out on this year’s pay and dividends.”The room was dead silent after hearing Harvey’s words. Even Ronald, who was yapping quite a lot in the beginning, tu
After hearing Harvey York’s words, everyone instantly targeted their rage toward Ronald John.The higher-ups thought of their past experiences when Ronald would get involved in their business for no reason, but his pay and dividends were still a few times more than everybody else’s...At this moment, all the higher-ups were showing cold expressions on their faces.‘What right does Ronald have to get such a high pay without any sort of capability or talent?’‘He’s been sucking our blood this whole time, and now he wants us to help him take back his position?’‘Does he think that we’re idiots?’In just a blink of an eye, the higher-ups were filled with a common hatred.Ronald burst out in anger.He had no idea how Harvey got the documents, but it was such a deadly blow for him after the records were exposed.“Mr. John, you’re the one in charge of Star Chaebol’s power of attorney this whole time!”“Now that the deal’s flopped, you even dare to shift the blame toward CEO Walker?!
Kait Walker looked at Harvey York full of admiration. Harvey was just too good. An ordinary person wouldn’t even think to use a tactic such as this.Even if the tactic were widely known to work, it wouldn’t completely suppress Ronald John without absolute confidence and power, whether it was unexpected or not.It was safe to say that Harvey’s strength had far surpassed anyone’s imagination.Who would even still remember to take down Kait at that moment?Money was the main priority after all!“Stop spouting nonsense, Harvey York! Stop distracting the others with your yapping!”Ronald was both terrified and mad when he slammed on the table and screamed at Harvey.“I won’t bet with anybody other than you!“I’ll give you three whole days. If you can get the power of attorney from Star Chaebol’s Mordu representative, I’ll resign right now without even taking a single dollar!“But if I’m the one who seals the deal, you have to resign and let me have back the executive CEO position!
Harvey York calmly sipped his tea and replied, “Don’t worry. It doesn’t matter how difficult this Mordu representative is to deal with.“The power of attorney is yours if I say so.“I’ll seal the deal in a day. And after that, Walker Corporation will be yours to control.”Twelve o’clock in the afternoon, at Mordu Marina.Young masters and famous celebrities loved to gather in this place.After sailing their yachts to the open seas, they would not be bound by the laws of Country H any longer.The young masters and famous celebrities could do whatever they pleased while surrounded by such open seas.In a small yacht under the name of the Walker Corporation, Ronald John, who was wearing Hawaii beach clothing, showed a faint smile at this moment.“CEO Walker, CEO York.”“Since we’re making a bet here, I’ll give both of you a chance out of respect for the company’s pay!“I already invited Star Chaebol’s Mordu representative, Luke Perry, to come here!“He’s currently on vacation o
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
One hour later, Harvey once again appeared at the VIP seats. Durandal and the others had been waiting for them. When they saw Harvey appear, they grinned. "One hour is over, pretty boy. Can we start the battle now? Looking at how confident you are, maybe you should consider fighting yourself. If you're willing, I can tell the Boxing Champion to just use one arm."It was obvious that not only did Durandal want to use this chance to test Harvey's power, but he also wanted to get him killed.Harvey smiled. "There's no need for overwhelming firepower. Even your father couldn't make me fight him, let alone your underling."Durandal's eyes turned incredibly cold when he heard that. Just as the atmosphere in the VIP seats was becoming fired up, the atmosphere around the ring was also becoming more tense.They hadn't even fought yet, but both sides were already staring down at each other apprehensively. It would be quite intense once the fight really began.Very quickly, Durandal took a
Harvey ignored all of them, but simply looked at all the fighters. In the end, Harvey's eyes fell on a young man of about eighteen years old. It was obvious he had just come of age, and he had trained his body well. From his physique, Harvey could tell that his martial arts abilities were quite good too.Harvey could tell immediately that the young man probably had an extraordinary upbringing to have such power at such an age. He might be a core student who came out from a Sacred Training Ground to train.Most importantly, the other fighters either looked at Harvey warily or in envy. Only he looked at Harvey peacefully, as if everyone in this world were ordinary people.Harvey gave Maya a look, and Maya quickly introduced him. "Sir, this is a servant that a member of the Ninth Branch picked up from under the bridge. He's mute, but he's extremely loyal. When we realized he has great talent in martial arts, we decided to turn him into a fighter."Harvey narrowed his eyes. What kind
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
