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
“Right, CEO York.“There are some things that I should tell you first.“Luke Perry isn’t just Star Chaebol’s Mordu representative.“He’s also the collateral relative of Star Chaebol’s Lee family, the most trusted subordinate of May Lee, the representative of the far east.“His existence represents the dignity of May Lee herself!“You should know who she is by now.“I heard that other than a person high above others, she wouldn’t even give anyone in Country H her respect!“That’s why you better not show off in front of Luke!”Ronald John was crossing his legs while lecturing Harvey York.“You have to be humble in front of Representative Luke. If both sides were to turn against each other because of you, CEO Walker might pay the price as well as your resignation.”Harvey calmly leaked a smile on his face.Harvey had killed off quite many people from Star Chaebol.Let alone, May Lee.Harvey casually smiled after hearing the name, then sent out a text message.***After half
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
