After the badge was found, people from the upper social circle around the district gossiped incessantly.“My God! Mandy Zimmer really is nasty. How dare she steal the Fourth Young Master’s casino license?”“She must have a death wish!”“There are only six of them throughout Las Vegas! They’re worth a fortune! If some outsider actually managed to steal it, the Fourth Young Master won’t be able to keep his position anymore!”“It’s said that the Fourth Young Master even opened a casino with her. He’s basically just taking one-sixth of the casino license’s profits to work with her! I can’t believe she’s being this greedy!”“Serves her right for doing this to the Fourth Young Master after all that he’s done for her!”“That bastard! The Fourth Young Master treated her so well too!”“M’lady is right! These b*tches from Country H are always trying to get married into a wealthy family from Las Vegas!”“We should just slap the devil out of these people!”The crowd was shaking their head
Mandy Zimmer’s face was completely swollen then.“Are you sure you want to frame me this way, Fourth Young Master?” exclaimed Mandy coldly.“You of all people should know that I’m the head of the ninth branch in the Jean family.“Are you not scared of the family plotting revenge against you for doing this?”“Mordu’s Jean family?”Ellie Palmer scoffed, then walked beside Mandy.“How are you this naive, Mandy?” whispered Ellie coldly with a tone only Mandy could hear.“I don’t understand how you’re able to be the head of the ninth branch with that brain of yours.“Do you think we’d dare go against you like this without any support?“Even if we kill you off today, the Jean family will just accept it and move on. Do you hear me?“After all, you’re obstructing someone else’s path!”Ellie took a step back while showing a playful yet derisive expression.Mandy froze slightly. Realization showed on her face before it was then replaced with a bitter expression.Obviously, she was n
“Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven…”While Mandy Zimmer was showing a terrible expression, Ellie Palmer had already started counting down.The Hamilton family’s bodyguard casually placed a finger on the firearm's trigger. One of Mandy’s subordinates was about to be shot.The inspectors of Las Vegas, who were supposed to uphold justice, all turned a blind eye to the situation.Mandy’s eyes frantically twitched before she took a deep breath.“Fine!“If that’s the case, I’ll admit it!“I was the one who stole the casino license. To compensate for what had happened, I’m willing to give up fifty percent of my shares of Mordu Casino-Palace!”Mandy’s expression was utterly horrible. Even though she felt resentful, Las Vegas was the Hamilton family’s territory.She was no match for them in their own turf.“Hear that, everyone?”Ellie clapped her hands and looked around her.“Since Head Zimmer confessed, it’s natural for her to give up fifty percent of her shares to pay the price.“The Hamil
Two inspectors were sent flying in an instant, making the others scream in anger when they were dead silent just before.“You bastard!”“Don’t you care about the law?!”“You must have a death wish!”Those inspectors were lackeys for the Hamilton family. They didn’t expect that an outsider like Harvey York would beat them up while they were “upholding justice.”The inspectors were boiling with anger at that moment.Even though they would usually do as they pleased, no one would dare oppose them.“The law? You spout things like you actually care.”Harvey coldly squinted at the inspectors.“You took the badge here to frame Head Zimmer, forced her to sign the contract and give up her shares, then got everyone here to witness her confession because this was all her fault?“Are you people shameless?“Or are you still expecting charity when you’re all acting like a bunch of bastards?!“You think you can just take advantage of every situation you get?”Harvey coldly glanced at his
Ellie Palmer covered her face as she scoffed.“Are you overestimating yourself a little, Mandy Zimmer? A thief wants to strike a deal?“Are you even worthy?”Mandy completely ignored Ellie and only glared at Jax Hamilton.“Let my mother go, Fourth Young Master. As long as you give her back, I’ll sign the contract,” said Mandy slowly word by word.“I swear by my position as the head of the ninth branch that I won’t pursue this matter any further.”Jax squinted in curiosity.“Let go of your mother?”“Right. It’s a simple request.”Mandy’s expression was as cold as ice then.“Since things have gotten to this point, there’s no need to deny the fact, Fourth Young Master.“You and I both know that Mordu Casino-Palace is just another distraction for me to come here. Even if the project itself is a cash cow, it’s still not enough of a reason for me to rush over here.“My mother being kidnapped is the real reason I’m here.“You’ll hand me my mother, and I’ll hand you the contract.
The Hamilton Council Chamber was located at the peak of Arcburn Mountain, surrounded by rolling mountains while facing the sea. The view was breathtaking.The Hamilton family occupying the summit of Las Vegas was the same as announcing their dominance within the country’s borders.Fifteen minutes later, Harvey York, Mandy Zimmer, and the others had arrived at the Hamilton Council Chamber.The place was extremely huge, covering around ten thousand square feet of space.Other than the wooden armchair in the middle of the place, numerous amount of official’s armchairs made out of golden-silk phoebe wood were placed on either side. Countless well-known calligraphies of famous people were hung all over the place. Even many treasures that were considered antiques were found here.Everything here was constantly flaunting just how wealthy the Hamilton family was.After seeing all this, Harvey was more interested in the legendary King of Gambling.Legends said that Fabian Hamilton was ju
Polly Bolton squinted and glanced at Harvey York without looking at the phone on the ground.After a while, she then cracked a smile.“Since you say you have proof, then it must be true.“I’ll give you a fair statement about this matter.”“Mother…”Jax Hamilton’s expression frantically changed.Polly glanced at Jax, then coldly exclaimed, “How embarrassing!“As a member of the Hamilton family, you can gamble, you can buy, you can even steal your casino license back if you want to!“But how are you supposed to refute when you get caught trying to frame someone else?!“Jax Hamilton, you are to shut yourself in the backyard for three days! If you don’t understand this fact, then don’t even think of coming back out!”Jax was showing an odd look on his face before he bowed.“As you wish.”After hearing those words, the people around were confused.‘What sort of statement is this? Jax can’t go outside for three days?’‘What kind of punishment is this even?’Before Harvey had a
“I don’t want your money. If you let my mother go, I’ll willingly give up my fifty percent share,” said Mandy Zimmer with a steady pace.“As long as I see my mother in one piece, I’ll…”Clang!The once polite and gentle Polly Bolton threw the teacup to the ground in a fit of rage.“How dare you?!“Head Zimmer, are you accusing that the Hamilton family kidnapped your mother to take your shares?!“The family has very successful businesses! What makes you think that we can’t just take the shares back with our own money?!“Do we even have the need to do something like that?!”Polly’s gaze was utterly disdainful.“Go outside and tell them! Tell them we kidnapped your mother! See if anyone believes you!”“What a joke! Who do you think we are?! We’re kings of Las Vegas! Why would we even do such a thing?!”“These people from Country H are ridiculous! They’re clearly trying to cling onto us! They’re using the fifty percent share of Mordu Casino-Palace to get more money, but they’re
In that instant, all the elites from Origin Fist could only gasp. They didn't know how to react when they saw what happened. Normally, once Harvey gave Kuro the chance to turn the table around, Kuro should have the advantage.But the result?Kuro was being stepped on, and he didn't even have the power to resist. Before Harvey's strength, he was just too weak."Not only can't you fight, but you're also making me very disappointed," Harvey said as he squatted and patted Kuro's face. It was a simple action, but it was enough to humiliate Kuro completely."Stop wasting time here, kid. I acknowledge that I've been careless, and I acknowledge that I'm not as skilled as you. I surrender!" The expression on Kuro's face was one of stubbornness. "If you can, kill me! I'm telling you, even if I die, the Origin Fist will never let you go! No matter who you are, you'll die in the hands of Origin Fist! If I die, your whole family will die with you!""How naïve," Harvey said with a smile. In t
"Your level of power is insufficient as well. Your so-called Black Hands is somewhat interesting, but you can't even unleash half of its power. Which means that the Sky Plane's martial arts aren't good, and so are you," Harvey said as he kept on slapping Kuro.Kuro couldn't even move away from getting slapped. His face was full of blood, and its contour had completely changed. All the Origin Fist elites could only watch this in shock.Kuro was the cream of the crop of Origin Fist. Not only was he a True Warrior, but he had even mastered the Black Hands. Why couldn't he escape the weak slaps from Harvey? How could Kuro not defeat Harvey, especially in a place like Grand City?This was the same as the Origin Fist's dignity being completely soiled!But another question appeared. Were the weak-looking slaps really that powerful?"You fool! How dare you slap me!" Kuro snarled, fury and doubt on his face. He was shocked at Harvey's power. He didn't think Harvey could slap him that e
"You fool!" Kuro was completely infuriated.He immediately appeared in mid-air in front of Harvey, his palms striking down. The black miasma surrounding his hands turned into gigantic palms, carrying a powerful aura. They seemed to be expanding without limits. At that instant, they seemed to be covering the entire sky.Everyone gasped.What was going on? Was this the legendary Black Hands?They couldn't believe it! Then they saw how Harvey seemed like he was stunned by the terrifying Black Hands. He simply stood there, unmoved, as if he was frozen.Alexei's expression changed. He wanted to call out to Harvey, but he noticed that he couldn't say anything as his throat had gone dry. He couldn't even move.He wasn't the only one. Even the bodyguards from the Foster family were all full of despair. They never expected the elites from Sky Plane could be so strong—it shook them to the core. Even among the seven families from Grand City, only the few most talented people would hav
Harvey frowned and looked at Alexei. "Alexei, do all the people from Sky Plane have some emotional issues? Why are they all so self-centered?""Well…" Alexei was speechless. 'Bro… Big bro…' While Harvey had the strength to ignore the people from Sky Plane, Alexei didn't! Not only did he want to live, but he wanted to live a good life too!When Kuro heard Harvey's words, he smiled coldly. "You have quite the confidence, Mr. Representative. You probably don't understand what the words True Warriors meant. Today, allow me to help you understand just how terrifying the True Warriors from Sky Plane are!"As Kuro said that, he extended his right hand. A black miasma appeared around his fingers. Very quickly, it began to surround both his palms, looking extremely eerie.Mikan instinctively asked, "You're going to use the Origin Fist's ultimate attack, the Black Hands?"The so-called Black Hands was the ultimate technique of the Origin Fist. It was said that every use of it will make
To someone like Mikan, who thought of herself as someone at the top of the social hierarchy, what happened to her was humiliating and infuriated her deeply.She gritted her teeth and stared at Harvey. After a long while, she yelled, "Shameless… You shameless man! How dare you ambush me?!"Slap!Harvey sent Mikan flying again with another slap. This time, she slammed right into a giant stone pillar in the courtyard, and was instantly in a wounded state."Ambush? Do I even need to ambush rubbish like you?" Harvey's expression was full of disdain. "Who do you think you are? What makes you think you're worth ambushing?"Harvey fired a few more slaps at Mikan. There was no way for her to escape, and her entire face was now full of dirt. In the end, she was thrown out of the entrance. She rolled on the ground, and Harvey even kicked her on the buttocks.When all the spectators saw what had happened, their eyes grew wide, their faces filled with disbelief. They never expected that thing
Sky Plane and Grand City were similar. Their status in the Island Nation was also very high. Some of the Islanders even treat the Sky Plane as where the gods resided and would worship them.Since the ruling Royal Family and the Six Schools couldn't limit the Sky Plane, it made everyone who came from the Sky Plane incredibly arrogant. They believed they were the best of all. They believed that as long as they announced they were from the Sky Plane, no one could do anything to them.Mikan's attitude made everyone hold their breaths in anticipation. Some of those who still had compassion within them shook their heads.While it was nothing to them if they offended ordinary Islanders, members of the Six Schools and even those from the ruling Royal Family, crossing Sky Plane was a death wish.No one other than the direct descendent of the Grand City could attract Sky Plane's wrath.Just when all of them thought that Harvey was going to surrender, Harvey simply smirked and said, "As expe
"Since you're all coming for me, then there's no need to hide your intentions. Why don't you just directly tell me what your aim is?" Harvey said coldly. The attack on him smelled like a plot. However, the Islanders were making this too obvious… Only fools couldn't see through it."I'm Mikan Inoue, and this is my older brother Kuro Inoue. We are practitioners of the Origin Fists from Sky Plane," the Islander woman said with a commanding tone as she played with her martial arts robe, showing the size of her chest."When we're at the Sky Plane, we heard that the representative of Country H's Martial Arts had completely demolished all the Six Schools of the Island Nation. While they were simply servants of the Sky Plane, you still have to consider who their masters are. If you dare to hit our servants, then it's only natural for you to pay the price, correct?"Kuro Inoue also said with a smile, "Kneel and beg us to spare you. Then, we won't make a move. But the condition is that you
When Harvey saw what happened, his eyes became even colder. Even Alexei, someone who didn't know much about Harvey, could sense the murderous aura coming from him. He shuddered. Then, he mustered the courage he needed to yell, "Hey! You islanders! How dare you throw Dragon Gate into chaos! Do you have a death wish?!"When the elites from the Island Nation walked out of the inner courtyard and heard that, they hurled the injured trainers on the ground. Then, all of them tilted their heads as they looked at Harvey with a sneer.The leader among the Islanders' elites stepped forward and said in a nonchalant tone, "You're the Dragon Gate's scion as well as the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? You're only here after waiting for you for so long… Don't tell me you're scared?" He spoke the language of Country H very well, but if one were to listen, it was clear that his fluency was still quite lacking. A woman was walking next to him, playing with the sleeve of he
Alexei's eyes narrowed when he saw the man in the Island Nation's martial arts robe. "Big bro, are you really the scion of Dragon Gate? If you are, then this is going to be troublesome. The man who's challenging the training hall is one of the representatives the Island Nation's Sky Plane sent here. He's supposed to be an elite trained in the Origin Fist."Harvey's curiosity was piqued. "Origin Fist?"Alexei nodded. "You probably don't know this. While the so-called Six Schools sound great in the Island Nation, when it comes to the Origin martial arts from the Sky Plane, they are nothing! Even if we don't talk about the rest and just the Origin Fist, everyone who's trained in it is legendary. It's said that they can split mountains with their bare fists alone, and it's even more powerful than our country's Eagle Claw technique!"Alexei's expression was one of fear as he pointed at the wounds on all those trainers. If one were to look closely, all ad signs of being clawed upon. T
