“There are two reasons why I’m here today.”“Number one: I’m here to be a witness for you and reclaim justice for my mother-in-law.”“Number two: I’m here to complete our wedding. Your grandfather, your father, your aunt, your uncle—every single member of your family agreed that you’ll be marrying me today.”“Marry you?!”In her rage, Kait found herself chuckling. “Lucas, did you not hear what I just said?!”“I’d rather die and slam my head on the floor right now than marry you!”But Lucas remained calm. “Even if you did that, you’d have to marry me no matter what.”“You’ll be a part of the Jean family.”“Whether you’re dead or alive.”“After all, you have to obey your parents’ orders!”“Your matchmakers’ orders!”“You’re going to marry me…”“Whether you like it or not!”Kait’s tone was ice. “Why don’t you try it, then? I guarantee that even my corpse won’t end up with you!”But Lucas was not enraged by those words. Instead, he responded to her with a warm smile.“So y
As the Walkers left, Lucas waved his right hand. His subordinates brought out a traditional wooden bed from the corner of the hall.Colorful lights and decorations were placed soon after, lighting up the hall with a joyful ambience.The sight shocked Kait. Subconsciously, she tried to leave.Tap!However, Macy spread out her hands and blocked Kait’s path. She smiled at Kait.“I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave today, Madame.”“What did you say?”Kait threw a scornful glare at Lucas, gritting her teeth.“What are you trying to do, Lucas?”“What am I trying to do?”Lucas chuckled.“I wanted to see the statement that the Walker family would give you.”“But your grandfather did not do that, and even gave me a mission.”“You should know, I always respect my elders…”“That’s why, I’m going to complete Grandfather-In-Law’s mission right now.”“There’s no rush to get the shares back. Let’s commence with the wedding festivities for now…”Lucas stretched out his hand and lifte
Kait gritted her teeth and exclaimed firmly, “I’ll tell you one more time!”“Even if I die, I’ll never marry you!”Bang!Lucas could not hold back any longer. He sent Kait flying with a kick, and she crashed right into the red wooden bed.Kait grunted in pain, blood seeping out of her mouth. It dyed the blanket crimson. The splash of blood spread like red winter sweets. It was a miserable sight.“You!”Kait raised her head up with all her might and glared at Lucas, but Lucas’s gaze was filled with twisted passion.It seemed torturing the women he fancied was a hobby of his.Faced with such a gaze, Kait felt a cold shiver run down her spine.She was reminded of a rumor some time ago: Lucas was a twisted pervert.His favorite pastime was to torture and kill women. In fact, hundreds of women had already died in his hands in recent years.“Strip, Kait.”Lucas took a deep breath, and wiped his fingers with tissue paper. He was holding back his immense desires.“If you keep re
The powerful men in suits flashed Harvey wretched grins. A shame that Harvey sent them each flying with a mighty kick before they could even do anything.Invincible!That man was invincible!“Harvey, you bastard! I’ll kill you!”Lenny pulled out a firearm and aimed right at Harvey as he pulled the trigger.Kait screamed, “Harvey, look out!”Bang!Harvey did not even pay Lenny the hall manager any mind. With just a single kick, Lenny was sent flying. The bullet from Lenny’s shot struck one of the guards who was standing on the side. Right after that, two more men were sent rolling on the ground.“Is this all that Mordu’s Jean family can offer?”“No wonder you can only remain as the tenth family in the ranks.”There was no emotion on Harvey’s face, but his words were blatantly disrespectful.“As expected from the sixth Prince of Mordu. You can’t surprise me at all.”Lucas and the others’ faces were utterly horrible.Lucas was proudest of the fact that he was listed as one of
“Drop the prince and we can still go back, Harvey. If you don’t, you’ll die without a burial place!”Macy ignored the sting on her face and pulled out her own firearm, aiming it right at Harvey.Slap!Harvey gave Lucas a slap across the face, then used a little more force to choke Lucas.About a dozen firearms were now aimed right toward Harvey, but he was still standing there calmly.“Would you all like to see if your guns are faster than my hand?”Harvey used a little more force to choke Lucas harder than before. Lucas’s face, which had lost all its color, immediately swelled red. There were red veins building in his eyes, which looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.Macy and the others were scared witless by the sight. They wanted to shoot Harvey, but they were afraid that Lucas would get caught in the crossfire.Brennan rushed toward the scene as soon as he got the message. He was also holding a firearm when he rushed to protect Kait.“Drop your weapons,
Slap!Harvey slapped Lucas’s face again and spat, “Try yapping one more time.”“Every time you spout nonsense, I’ll hit your master.”“We can see if your yapping’s better than my slapping if you want.”Macy clenched her teeth in anger. She wanted to skin Harvey alive so badly, but she dared not say anything more.She could tell that the man in front of him was a ruthless one. If he were to go all out, only God would know the things that could happen.“Kait. You two go ahead.”“Wait for me in the villa.”Harvey glanced at Kait and Brennan.Kait trembled and replied quietly, “No, Harvey. What’s going to happen to you if I leave?”Harvey smiled.“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”“I wouldn’t be able to do much with you here, anyway. We might not be able to leave if that happens.”Before Kait could say anything, Harvey shot Brennan a look.Brennan understood, and then began to drag Kait away by force.Several men in suits blocked their path, having no intention to let Kait leave.
“Do you want to end up dead together?”Harvey York reached out his hand and patted Lucas Jean’s face with intrigue.“In your eyes, you are like porcelain, fine and precious, and someone like me is like a crock, impure and low.“Why would you want to die with me?“Are you out of your mind?”Lucas frowned and said, “Then, what do you want?“You won’t even have a chance to regret it if you anger me.”Lenny Thompson stood up and shouted from not too far away, “Harvey, there are some people that you can never afford to offend!“Don’t you even begin to compare Prince Jean with the likes of Bryan Holt!“If you hurt the Prince, you can’t even pay with your life!”Slap!Harvey slapped him again. He used enough force and instantly knocked out one of Lucas’ teeth this time.“Look, look. Isn’t your subordinate being disobedient?“I already mentioned it earlier. If they spout nonsense again, I will slap you, and now there are still five slaps left!”Harvey squinted and began to slap h
Harvey York smiled. “Well, in that case, are you going to recruit me, Prince Jean?“Why don’t you tell me…“How will you recruit me?“What are you willing to offer me?”Lucas Jean laughed and said, “You’re so straightforward. I admire someone like you the most!“Although you had already hit so many of my brothers today and even disgraced me!“But, I still think highly of you!“As long as you kneel and succumb to me now and become my subordinate from now on, I can guarantee you the status that Denzel Washington had while he’s with me!“You’ll be my number one subordinate as long as you kneel.“And the ownership of Paramount will also fall into your hands!“This is a pretty huge thing!“How about this condition?”Harvey smiled and replied indifferently, “The condition is good. Even more, I really admire your acceptance for making such conditions while facing an opponent.“Unfortunately, I can’t promise you.”Lucas frowned and asked, “Why?”Harvey reached out his hand, ligh
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
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
