Slap!The car door opened, and Dennis Parker kicked Jax Hamilton out of the car and then swiftly closed the door.Jax rolled on the ground for a moment. His head bumped against the road curb and instantly bled.His face was swollen, and his clothes were tattered. The corners of his eyes were constantly twitching, and his expression was extremely resentful.After a while, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. “Second Brother, I have decided to assist you in moving to the upper position, but I only have one request. I want to kill Harvey York…”***At St. Andrew Hospital, Las Vegas.Teresa Thompson was pushed out of the emergency room. After an emergency gastric lavage, she was now back to normal and could even sit up and talk.Harvey handed her a bottle of soda water. After Teresa had finished drinking, he then said softly, “You shouldn’t stay here any longer because this place, Las Vegas, is not safe.“Things happened this time around because Jax wanted me to have
“The Yorks from Hong Kong…”Harvey mumbled to himself before smiling.“Don’t worry. As long as they don’t provoke me, I won’t go out of my way to get them.”“These five hidden families have nothing to do with the top ten families, anyway.”“But if they try to kill me or hurt the people close to me, I’ll make their lives a living hell.”“I know they won’t do anything rash.”“Besides, I’m sure they’re aware of who they can and cannot provoke.”Listening to how calm Harvey sounded, Edwin let out a long suffering sigh.“CEO York, you haven’t been around Hong Kong and Las Vegas for a while, so you might not know how these big families do things.”“They may have some limits, especially if the situation’s really serious.”“But once they decide to trample on you, they’ll chase you to the ends of the earth!”“Besides, I heard that the Yorks from South Light were a huge nuisance for the Yorks from Hong Kong when the latter were trying to take over Country H. Hong Kong’s Yorks were pla
Harvey smiled.“Quite recently, I slapped Dennis Parker in the face.”“I ruined Quinton’s plans, too.”“Right now, Dennis is on his way to pay Quinton a little visit. Judging from their actions, I’m sure they hate me to the core.”“But even if they band together, they won’t be a threat to me.”“Still, Edwin keeps reminding me to be careful of Hong Kong’s York family supporting them in secret. Thus, I need to figure them out as soon as I can before I die a vain death.”George nodded in understanding.“You’re right about one thing, CEO York. Quinton and Dennis has power and background, but more importantly, they’re both hardcore supporters of Vince York.”“According to my intel, Quinton was already Vince’s lackey when he took control of the Yorks from South Light.”“From this perspective, we can conclude that you were already a threat to Vince’s interests the moment you snatched control of the Yorks away from Quinton.”“As for Dennis, he’s quite the character himself.”“He’s t
“Andy didn’t give his position to his eldest son, Cory. Instead, his fourth son, Marcel, was appointed as the head of the family.”“I heard that his other three sons were quite unsatisfied about this, Cory included. They only accepted it since it grudgingly was their father’s order.”“Grandma York, Andy’s wife, was quite upset about this arrangement as well.”Harvey nodded. He didn’t expect the Yorks from Hong Kong to have such a history.“Marcel is now in charge of the family, but Grandma York harbors a lot of disdain on her youngest son and his wife.”“She tried her hardest to support her eldest son, hoping that he would take the position one day.”“There’s also another rumor saying that Grandma York and Marcel had different political beliefs.”“Grandma York is in the mind that the Yorks aren’t the same hidden family as they once were, and that they should’ve stood on the peak alongside the top ten families!”“But for the last few years, Marcel remained in charge of the fami
“So what’s your general opinion about Vince?” Harvey asked after a while of pondering.George thought about it, then replied, “He’s ambitious and powerful, but I think he’s too confident sometimes. That usually comes back to bite him.”“If the Yorks from Hong Kong are declining, then it’s probably because of him.”After listening to George, Harvey began to digest the information in the laptop.There wasn't much, but it was enough to show George’s professionalism. Not only did he give a general introduction to the Yorks from Hong Kong…But he also introduced the old rulers along with the younger generation of the family.According to George, these people were the backbone of the family.While Harvey was busy browsing through documents pertaining to the top four families of Hong Kong, he saw that the King of Gambling himself was also labeled as a loyal ally of the Yorks. He could not help but be impressed by it.Everyone said that the Hamilton family was king of Las Vegas, but as
“There’s something else. According to the information, one of the major shareholders of the ship is actually from the Hamilton family!”“It’s the second young master, Christian Hamilton!”“I suspect that he’s on the ship right now.”George drew in a deep breath.“They must be planning something, CEO York.”“They’re coming for you, I’m sure!”“If I’m correct, this is about avenging Dennis!”Harvey rubbed his forehead before jumping on a yacht.“That’s right. They’re definitely coming after me,” he replied quietly.“Elder Mendoza called me, saying that his daughter got in trouble as soon as I slapped Dennis in the face. Do you think I can just let this slide?”…At the same time, at the top floor of St. Hope, inside an extremely luxurious VIP guest room.The entire room was bright with colorful lights. Yet, a sense of danger loomed about. A man in a white suit and gold-framed glasses, his hair neat and slick, held a few chips in his hand. His lips were a warm smile.Behind
Bang!Edwin slammed his hand on the chips, stopping his sister.“Sister, you can’t keep following the bet! We don’t have that much money!” Edwin whispered, panicky.“If Father finds out about this, we’re screwed!”“You of all people should know that you shouldn’t mess with gambling! If you do, you’ll never go back!”But Yoana replied with a cold laugh.“Don’t you realize why I’m here right now?”“If it weren’t for that debt you owed three years ago through gambling, together with interests piling up to a total of three hundred million dollars, do you think I’d show up here to pay it for you?!”Edwin felt a stab of guilt.Before enlisting in the Sword Camp, he was a playboy and a wasteful rich heir who acted with reckless abandon. In just a few years, he almost exhausted the family fortune and owed many. His father Paul had already paid off his debt before he was enlisted, but all of a sudden, another debt was dug up now.Together with interests, tens of millions of dollars
Christian knew he had already won a hundred and forty million dollars with ease. Together with the three hundred million that Edwin owed, he firmly believed that Yoana would be under his control after just one more win…Perhaps, Christian might even control Paul Mendoza himself!At this moment, Christian was extremely confident. He stopped stalling and flipped his cards on the table, smiling warmly. “A pair of kings and aces!”“Show us your hand, Lady Mendoza.”“If you don’t have a Straight Flush, you lose.”Yoana looked at her cards, snickering. She then flipped them open.“Ten, jack, queen, king, ace.”“Royal Flush. I won!”Yoana took her check back, emotionless. She had achieved the best possible hand to win the round.The extremely confident Christian’s expression changed frantically. He froze, stunned. “How is this possible?”Edwin froze at the sight.“I’ve won this round. Together with the chips on the table and your three hundred million dollars, I’ve earned a
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
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
