“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
Dale Flynn looked indifferent. He did not continue to speak but shifted his gaze and squinted toward the entrance.In this turf, Las Vegas, no matter who came to challenge them, they would have to pay the price.After the other guests reacted, they also showed sarcastic looks while holding the glass in their hands.They had seen many people wanting to challenge Third Young Master over the years.However, all of them were crushed by him without exception.The more miserable ones were even thrown directly into the sea to feed the fishes.This also enabled them to act rashly when they were in Las Vegas.Meanwhile, the people there were anticipating, waiting to enjoy the show.Soon, Harvey York stepped in first, followed by Teresa Thompson.“Teresa!”Dale recognized Teresa and heaved a sigh of relief. His task would be deemed completed as long as this beautiful junior of his show up.However, Dale’s complexion suddenly dimmed, looking at Harvey, who was walking in front of Teres
Harvey York stepped forward and stood in front of Teresa Thompson. He then squinted at this greasy man and said indifferently, “You can try.“I was able to crush dozens of people earlier in the morning. Of course, I’ll be able to destroy a couple more tonight.”“So, it seems that the ignorant brat who beat the subordinates of Third Young Master this morning is you.”The greasy young man carefully looked at Harvey.“You’re pretty good! But didn’t anyone tell you? Everyone has to at least show some respect to the Hamiltons in Las Vegas!“And you even dared to hit Third Young Master’s underlings. You certainly have a death wish!“I initially wanted to look for that ignorant brat and kill him. But now that you’re here, everything’s just right!“Come, break his limbs and throw him into the sea to feed the fishes!”Dale and other guests were amused, and under their derisive gazes, four towering and burly foreign bodyguards walked over while cracking their necks. Their eyes were full
As he said that, the Islander switched on his phone and started streaming the event. It was obvious he wanted to see how Harvey was going to react to this.If Harvey agreed to fight ten warriors in one go, then the people he had arranged would swarm him and kill Harvey.If Harvey refused, then he would verbally humiliate Harvey.In other words, he had made full preparations for today.Harvey calmly drank a cup of tea and clapped. Rachel, who was fully prepared, walked from the back of the crowd. She turned on her phone and played a video clip on the TV screen. In the clip, it was obvious that Hale was the one who claimed Harvey could fight ten to one, not Harvey."What? Since when must our representative bear responsibility for something he has never said? If someone said he can fight 100 to 1 suddenly, should he fight a hundred men at the same time?" Rachel said.While fighting ten to one was something simple to Harvey, he wasn't interested in being involved in a plot the Island
Once Harvey was at the Dragon Gate training hall, he narrowed his eyes.A huge crowd was right outside the entrance of the training hall. He counted at least a thousand of them with just a glance.They were all either martial arts elites or mutants. None of them were normal human beings.Of course, these people were mostly here to watch the show.There were also plenty of Islander men and women in their traditional summer garbs. All of them looked quite eager. Harvey could tell from first glance that they were either from Sky Plane or had the right to enter Grand City due to being at the top of the social pyramid in the Island Nation. All of them were filled with anger and resentment after Harvey chided them as weaklings. They were here to try and reclaim their dignity.When Harvey appeared, all of them instantly turned around. The anger within their eyes is apparent."Harvey York! Are you sure you want to go your own way? You're quite brave to challenge the entire Island Natio
"Dominating the Veiled Sanctuary?" Harvey asked Alexei curiously.Alexei scoffed. "Many years ago, a prodigy was born in the Veiled Sanctuary. He was said to be just a servant born into a small family. However, his powers grew exponentially after he accidentally learned martial arts."He became a King of Arms when he was 18, and then a True Warrior at 22. After that, he secretly stole the martial arts techniques from all the schools and mastered them. Finally, when he was 30 years old, he created his own martial art technique that had never appeared in the Veiled Sanctuary—the Technique of Elephants and Dragons."It's said that those trained in this technique can possess the power of ten elephants and ten dragons. They can forcefully tear apart space itself and step into the void, reaching unity between Man and Nature. Unfortunately, he has too little influence in Veiled Sanctuary. He stole too many secrets from the different schools, causing him to offend the higher-ups."In the
"Of course, only people from Grand City are supporting him. Whether it was Sky Plane, Sky Garden, Lost City, or the other locations, everyone criticized Harvey. They believed that we should have peace with all the other Sacred Lands. Harvey's existence would only cause fights between all of us."But the so-called peace from these Sacred Lands were only maintained because they were able to benefit from Grand City. Once Harvey's here and becomes mayor, the other Sacred Lands won't be able to get used to it," Geoffrey said.He was obviously quite pleased with this.For a long time, Grand City needed someone who could take control of the big picture. One of the reasons the E-A Battlefield occurred in the past was because the mayor went missing, and all the other Sacred Lands believed they could take advantage of this situation. That was why the five nations had worked together at the time.Luckily, the Chief Instructor was there at the time. He helped them defeat all their enemies and
When Harvey remembered that Vaida was schizophrenic, he suppressed the discomfort inside of him and smiled. "Ms. Vaida, why didn't you go back to rest? Isn't it boring to be at my place?"Vaida opened the door leading to the dining room. "I don't feel bored at all. I've been cooking for you the entire day. Since you're the man of my destiny, I'm simply doing what I'm supposed to, aren't I?"Cough!Harvey couldn't stop himself from coughing before saying, "Thanks, then.""That won't do, Senior Vaida! We grew up together and have known each other for almost two decades. You've never cooked for me. What's this, then? Do I really have no place in your heart?" Alexei said, almost to the point of crying and rolling on the ground.Vaida shot him a disappointed look. "Oh, you! Look at yourself. Are you acting like a man? I'm not expecting you to become an important person, but even if you're set on being someone spoiled rotten, can you at least be like a proper one? I heard that when I
With just a simple move, the Islander swordsman screamed in pain and crashed to the ground. He didn't even have the chance to spar with Harvey.An Islander wrestler immediately rushed out of the crowd. "I dare you to try me, Harvey!" Harvey calmly kicked a chair at the wrestler, who didn't even manage to enter the door before collapsing on the ground."Fool!""Die!"One by one, the Island Nation's elites attacked, but none of them could pass through the entrance into the training hall before collapsing.Harvey's technique was indeed very terrifying. What Harvey did without exerting much effort turned all the Islanders' excitement into despair. All the Islanders that had collapsed had some reputation in Grand City. But now, they were nothing before Harvey.Meanwhile, those from Country H were overjoyed. Many of them started to go around and spread the good news throughout Grand City.Harvey's reputation had spread in Grand City. A lot of people knew that the representative of
"All you Islanders are always acting so arrogantly in our territory. You'll sneer at us, calling us weaklings every now and then. Now, we simply stated the fact that you're weaklings too—and you find it hard to accept? Don't you understand that you should treat others how you like to be treated? If you're not weaklings before him, what are you then? Feces?"Hale shouted at the Islanders fearlessly, feeling refreshed as he did it. He seemed to have suffered a lot at the hands of Sky Plane, so he didn't hold back when he started his speech. It was enough to make the Islanders hear it go mad.However, Hale wasn't scared at all. Instead, he pointed at the Islanders and went on, "Yapping of sore losers."The Islander with the mustache almost went crazy. "Do you know what you're doing? You're trying to start a war! Can you bear this responsibility?"The other Islanders also joined in; all of them called for war, as if that would be enough to threaten Harvey. However, Hale didn't even b
Harvey couldn't tell what Hale was up to by borrowing his influence, but he knew very well that what he needed to do right now was to liven Grand City up. It would be best if he could cause a wave. Only then would he have the opportunity to achieve his goals.That was why he didn't stop Hale, despite not knowing what Hale was up to. Instead, Harvey let Hale do as he wanted.Hale took a deep breath. His eyes carried a meaningful gaze as he looked at Harvey, and he said with a dry smile, "What I'm going to do is to be quite intense, but I believe you can take it."Harvey chuckled. "Is it the kind that I prefer?""I don't know if you'll like it, but I believe you won't hate it," Hale said.Harvey clapped. "Sure. Let me see just how much of a ruckus your method that I won't hate will cause in Grand City!"Hale didn't waste his breath and grabbed a white piece of cloth and started painting something. Then, he immediately put it at the entrance of the training hall. As soon as the clot
There was cheer from the crowd when they saw how Harvey could easily defeat those from the Sky Plane and win back the pride of Grand City and the people from Country H.At this time, a middle-aged man, somewhat short and plump, approached Harvey with admiration on his face. "The way you fight is brilliant, friend. Most importantly, you managed to defeat the haughty Islanders without any trouble. Simply brilliant! You've won all our admiration!""That's right!" The people in the crowd all nodded, the admiration on their faces clear.It was said that amateurs watch the show for excitement, while the experts grasp the details. However, the people who formed the crowd this time were mostly martial arts elites. They understood just how powerful Harvey was from how he easily defeated Kuro, Mikan, and the other Islanders."It doesn't matter whether I earn your admiration or not," Harvey said with a faint smile as he entered the training hall. "Since you're not my training hall's student
