Several men outside walked in with cold smiles, their eyes glaring at Teresa the way a wolf that had spotted prey would.Teresa’s expression changed slightly at their sudden appearance.“Are you serious, CEO Hamilton?” she asked coldly.“I am! I’m as serious as ever! If I lie to you, may my entire family be struck by lightning!”The roguish man swore an oath.“But! If you even do so much as to spit the tea out, I’m afraid it won’t be as easy as paying for damages. When that happens, you’ll have to compensate with your body as well!”His men, who were surrounding the place, chuckled coldly. They looked at Teresa with lustful stares.Teresa took the teacup, face full of disgust, and prepared herself.But at the most crucial moment, Harvey slapped the teacup away from her hand and let it fall to the ground.“What’s the point in you strong men bullying a young lady?”“Aren’t you embarrassed about trying to fool someone with tea leaves that have been rotting for at least twenty ye
Slap!Harvey’s movements were as quick as lightning, and he swung his backhand with a speed invisible to human eyes.“Are you sure you don’t want to talk about this?”Slap!“You know exactly what happened to this tea, don’t you?”Slap!“And yet, you have the guts to ask for compensation? Do you really think you’re allowed to do as you please just because we’re in Las Vegas?”The roguish man was completely dazed after being slapped around so much.When Harvey lifted the man up by his collar, his face had become completely bruised and swollen.“You… H-how dare you hit me?! Do you know who I am?!”“I’m a member of the Hamilton family!”“If you go against me, you’re going against the entire family!”“You’re going against the entirety of Las Vegas!”“You’re dead, kid! Not just you, your entire family’s done for!”“We’ll feed you to the fishes and get that woman behind you to serve customers at Sky Casino-Palace! Her life will be a living hell…! Heh, heh, heh!” Even after get
“Thank you, Young Master Flynn. I’ll be sure to thank you properly once the situation has been resolved,” Teresa replied quietly, and then glanced at the roguish man.“Where is everyone meeting tonight?”“Sky Casino-Palace.”“The Emperor’s Diner!”The tone on the other side of the phone was quite condescending.“Seven o’clock at night. You better be here on time, CEO Thompson! Don’t be late!”“Another thing. The Third Young Master said that he’ll let you off the hook for getting his men beaten up, all for my sake.”“You can take your staff members away for now.”“But you should think hard on how you should be thanking him!”“Thank you, Young Master Flynn. I’ll be there on time. Please say some good things about me when everyone’s there.”After hanging up the call, the roguish man’s phone rang. He spoke to the phone for a moment, before showing Teresa a wretched smile.“You’re pretty lucky to have Young Master Flynn’s support, CEO Thompson.”“The Third Young Master will give
Teresa stepped on the gas and drove as she explained her situation.“After I graduated from university two years ago, I went back home.”“My family wanted me to marry a rich playboy from an ancient family as a sacrificial tool. It was an arranged marriage.”“But I declined. I told them all that I want to live my own life, and that I have my own goals to strive for. I’m not their prisoner! They can’t just tell me what to do.”“I’d rather die than to be forced into marriage.”“And so, my family gave me a chance and made a deal with me.”“They would give me seventy-five thousand dollars to establish my own business.”“If I’m able to double the money within three years without any help from my family, I’ll regain my freedom.”“But if I can’t, I’ll have to marry that rich playboy and be my family’s sacrifice.”“Of course, my family won’t cause me any trouble during the process.”“I accepted the deal, but I only realized that everything wasn’t as simple as I thought once I started
It was just past lunch time when the two arrived at Sky Casino-Palace. There was still some time before the evening banquet.Harvey slipped out of the presidential suite, with the excuse that he wanted to expand his horizons in the casinos downstairs.He snuck inside the staff’s changing room and put on a waiter’s uniform he found there. Then, he started roaming around the guest room area.Judging from the angle, background, and the layout of the room as seen in the picture, Harvey was sure that Lilian was held hostage in the guest room area’s middle floors.From that height, the night view of Las Vegas would be visible.In addition, guests would usually be busy checking out of their rooms during the afternoon.After surveying the guest room area, he deduced that the eighth guest room on the eighteenth floor was most likely the place Lilian was held hostage.Harvey stood in front of the room, frowning. Thick dust covered the carpet of the entire floor. No one had come to clean u
However, the only top family in Las Vegas was the Hamiltons.The Hamiltons had been managing Las Vegas so well, without any loopholes.Moreover, there were no grudges between him and the Hamiltons. Thus, why Hong Kong?“No!”Harvey York suddenly understood.It wasn’t because of him but because Mandy Zimmer would surely come to Las Vegas for gambling business.Indeed, this setup was designed for him, but their entry point was always directed toward Mandy Zimmer.Then, the ones who arranged all that, was it the Jean family of Mordu, the Hamiltons from Las Vegas, or those old acquaintances who he had not met for a long time?Harvey took a deep breath. His gaze then fell on the building opposite the Casino-Palace.Some problems could be solved easily as long as he could capture the sniper who was shooting him at the moment.Pff, pff, pfff. Just as Harvey was pondering things, several sounds came out again!Apparently, the sniper had already spotted Harvey, and all those shots la
Teresa Thompson temporarily moved to another hotel and rebooked a presidential suite at the Paris Hotel next door due to the chaos at the Sky Casino-Palace.Harvey York appeared as if nothing had happened and helped Teresa send all her luggage over.During this period, Harvey also called Mandy Zimmer to make sure that everything was going well for her at the moment. Only then was he a little rest assured.Harvey was almost certain that no matter who wanted to kill him, then they would aim at him. As long as he did not meet Mandy, then Mandy would not be in danger for the time being.Moreover, Harvey also believed that the third wave of the opponent’s attack would not appear too soon because they had repeatedly failed even with careful planning.Now, he should concentrate on solving the trouble for Teresa. Only then would he have time to turn the tables and get rid of them before they could take action.Everything was just as Harvey expected after checking in and staying in the Pa
Harvey York slightly squinted his eyes and said indifferently after a while, “Miss Thompson, since you know Dale Flynn’s behavior, why would you still meet him tonight? Aren’t you afraid that he would take advantage of you?”Teresa Thompson smiled. “I have you.“Moreover, even if I don’t want to admit it, I still am a member of the Thompson family of Wolsing.“In business, he may dare to deceive me.“As for other things, he wouldn’t dare to do it.”Harvey smiled and did not say anything more. Instead, he made up his mind that he had to go there tonight.He might be able to find out some news from Third Young Master Hamilton.***Dinner time came soon. Harvey followed Teresa into the car, driving into the heavy traffic.“CEO Thompson, Third Young Master Hamilton has been waiting for a long time. Why aren’t you here yet?”At the entrance of the private manor at the bay ten kilometers away, a suave-looking man wearing golden glasses was urging Teresa.“Teresa, I agreed to be a
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
All of Clarion's men exchanged looks. They did not want to but had no choice but to retreat. It was obvious that they could not simply watch Neve die like that. Harvey quickly motioned to Mandy, signaling for her to exit with her.Shortly after, they arrived at an empty space on the surface. An armed helicopter was waiting there. They had moved it here from somewhere, and it was also warmed up. Harvey took Neve hostage and was going to bring Mandy up into the helicopter.But before they could get any closer, hundreds of men and women in uniform appeared and surrounded them. They were all armed with weapons such as Rainstorm Needles and Royal Flushes, specially designed against martial arts masters. If they were used, the damage they could cause would be devastating."Do you really think you can escape, Harvey?" Lanny walked out from behind the crowd."I've indeed prepared a helicopter for you, but do you dare to go up? If you do, we have plenty of weapons to take it down so you can
Blade's expression turned extremely dark when he heard what Harvey had said. For someone like him, who had obeyed the laws of Grand City all his life, what Harvey had said was a hard pill to swallow. The point was that Harvey was right.While what happened looked like a coincidence, it resulted from Lanny's deliberate neglect. Was it not a joke for them to want Harvey to follow the rules when they themselves broke the rule first?However, Neve did not seem like she was threatened at all. She was already in a state of crazed fury, and she smiled. "You killed my fiance and then slapped me? Do you think you can leave just like this? Dream on! Even if I had to die today, I'll drag you down into the grave with me!"Crack!Harvey tightened his grip and snapped Neve's right arm. Then, he took the Rainstorm Needles and aimed them at Neve's head again. This simple action showed Harvey's determination.Neve almost let out a scream of pain as she could not stop shuddering from the pain of he
Neve, Lanny, and the others figured that once they captured Mandy, they would have it in the bag. They could do whatever they wanted to Harvey. However, they did not expect Harvey to respond with such fierceness."How dare you, Harvey!" After a moment of silence, Clarion finally reacted to what had happened. And as he waved his hand, everyone around him immediately rushed over. All of them raised the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, aiming at Harvey. It was as if they would turn Harvey into a beehive if he dared to make another move."How dare you touch me? Even my dad never hit me! You have a death wish! You're just a powerless representative! Even if you do have power, your demise is already determined after what you did openly just now!" Neve's face became twisted with anger."I might not be able to do anything to you if you don't touch me, but now that you did, no one in this world can protect you!" There was a crazed look on Neve's face. Obviously, she believed that Harvey wou
After Neve made her orders, all the men and women beside her revealed what was under their sleeves. They were all wearing the martial art weapons, the Rainstorm Needles. This was something ten times better than guns when targeting martial artists.However, Harvey ignored all of them and continued moving forward. He exclaimed coldly, "Stop! If any of you are going to continue to attack Mandy, I'm going to cripple you!"Neve gave an icy smirk. There was only disdain on her face as she narrowed her eyes at Harvey. "Who do you think you are, Harvey? Do you think you're in a position to make me stop just by telling me? Are you having heartaches for her? I'm going to hurt her right before you now!"Neve kicked Mandy to the ground and then stomped on her stomach. "You witch! Witch! Let's see who can stop you tonight! Durandal is already dead, and I don't want to live anymore! I'm not going to stop until you're dead!"Then, Neve revealed the Rainstorm Needles under her sleeves and put them
Jackson's eyes narrowed when he heard what Clarion had said, but he said nothing else. He gave Harvey an apologetic smile and then ordered his men to temporarily take Harvey into the prison at the back. While it was nothing more than symbolism, Blade knew that Clarion simply wanted to use this chance to disgust Harvey.Just when Harvey was going to be taken away, Clarion pulled out his mobile and dialed a number. Shortly after, the door was once again kicked open with a bang.Then, Durandal's companions appeared with anguished expressions. They were led by a long-haired man and a woman in a face mask. Once they entered the courtroom, the woman removed her mask. She was so sorrowful as if her husband had passed away.As for that long-haired man, while he had lost a finger and had his hand bandaged, there was a malevolent aura coming from him."Mandy! How could you kill my fiance?! I'll kill you!" The woman was instantly filled with rage the moment she saw Mandy. She immediately ran
Shortly, Blade escorted Harvey through the door made of rock. They followed the staircase down and into an underground area. It was quite spacious down there, and it was probably formed naturally. Plenty of man-made structures were built within the underground space.However, these buildings must be at least hundreds of years old. The lights added afterward suggest this was some kind of underground city.Harvey was quickly dragged to a place that looked like an ancient court. There was a sign board saying "Justice" on top, and three different kinds of guillotines were placed there. Bronze, silver, and gold. The ground under the guillotine seemed to be dark from the color of dried blood. One could faint by just watching the dried blood.It was obvious that countless people had died under these guillotines in the past few centuries. Harvey was unfazed by them. Instead, he found a bench and sat down, enjoying the sights of his surroundings.Those who were informed would know that he w
After a long while, Harvey sighed and said, "If that's the case, can you let me see the original files and conversation with the nurse? I also wanted to know just what kind of evidence the people from the Forbidden Wasteland believed was real."When Lanny heard Harvey's request, she coldly replied, "I'm sorry. But we haven't reached that part of the procedure yet. We know that you might be someone at the True Warrior level. It would be easy for an elite like you to assassinate or mislead someone. That's why, before we can confirm their safety, we won't show you any of the evidence or witness."Harvey shrugged. "I do have the power of a True Warrior. If I wanted to, I could easily kill everyone standing here.""I know," Lanny answered coldly. "But will you? No one is an island in this world. If you do that, all your friends and family will die because of you. Grand City will also categorize you as the most dangerous criminal and will do everything we can to kill you."You know all o
