“I also know full well that Maki Takei could’ve killed you, but you used the Longmen’s name to suppress him before you snuck up on him while he wasn’t paying attention to you!“You’re shameless, Harvey York! Where are your morals?!Haider Bauer furiously pointed at Harvey.Harvey froze after hearing those words before looking at Carrie Kennedy with full interest.Before looking away, Carrie and the disciples behind her showed gleeful gazes toward Harvey. Nobody dared even to look him in the eye at that moment.Obviously, Carrie lied about the truth for Haider to show up.She never said that Harvey took down the entire Takei family with just a swing of his sword.She never mentioned anything about Harvey killing off a dozen of their men with just a single kick, Maki included…But she did find an excuse saying that Harvey used Longmen’s name to suppress the family.If Haider was not told that, he might have been too afraid to show up, knowing that Harvey was the one who killed o
Before long, Haider Bauer made a gesture, and then his subordinates stepped forward. With the sounds of metal scraping, the subordinates unsheathed their swords while glaring at Harvey York furiously.Leslie Clarke’s expression immediately worsened after seeing the sight.“Vice Head Bauer, nobody can take away my badge since it’s passed down to me by the master of Longmen himself,” reasoned Harvey calmly.“Besides, do you really think that I should just apologize to them?“What right do they even have for me to do such a thing?”“What? You think you’re some hot shot or something?”Haider’s face darkened.“Let me tell you something, Harvey. I’m already being respectful to the master of Longmen by not breaking your legs and throwing you straight to the Island Nations!“So, stop pushing your luck!“Maybe I have a better temper now that I’m old. If I were younger, I would’ve taken your head and your family’s life by now!”Haider was boiling with anger at this very moment, as if h
Haider Bauer kept struggling while he was forced to the ground. The palm and footprint marks were overlaid on his face, making him seem utterly wretched and miserable.He tried to wiggle out, but Harvey York’s feet kept him nailed to the ground. He could only tremble powerlessly at this moment.A lot of people rubbed their eyes filled with disbelief. Some even slapped themselves in the face to make sure they were not dreaming.The Law Enforcement of Longmen’s disciples became utterly sluggish.Nobody expected Harvey would be this fearless.It was already bad enough that Harvey slapped Haider in the face, but he even stepped on it at this moment. This action alone showed utter disrespect.Not only did Harvey disrespect Longmen’s Elder Group, but this was also a mockery toward the entire Bauer family.Elmer Evans came back to his senses while everyone else was still in shock.“What are you doing, Harvey?!” he screamed furiously.“How dare you?!“The audacity!“Bastard! How dar
“You…”Haider Bauer wanted Harvey York dead so badly, but the constant sharp pain had made him completely delirious. He was filled with utter anguish at that moment…He was the Law Enforcement of Longmen’s vice head and a member of the Bauer family.He was always superior whether he was in Flutwell or Longmen. Countless people would always indulge and respect him wherever he went.He believed that he would be able to use the power of his two identities to do whatever he pleased no matter where he went.He did not think he would bump into some reckless man who dared to disrespect him while making him suffer.Haider’s reputation and dignity were constantly being trampled on. At that time, he wished he had died so badly.He would not dare to challenge Harvey anymore. He was afraid that Harvey would not stop torturing him.“Looks like someone got a little clever. I’m sure you know what you can and cannot say at this point.”After seeing Haider’s resentful look, Harvey then kicked
Elmer Evans struggled back up while catching his breath before glaring at Harvey York and Leslie Clarke.“Just you wait, Leslie! You’ll regret this decision!” exclaimed Elmer while gritting his teeth.He then pointed toward the sky.“I’ll bring Hong Kong’s first-in-command down and make you regret everything you’ve done today!“I am the previous governor here! I have the power!“When I report this to the royalty of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, you’ll be finished!”Leslie chuckled without giving a reply.“The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets?“We’ll be finished, you say?”Harvey slowly walked toward Elmer while blatantly showing a playful look on his face.“Give them a call then. Ask them if they dare to meddle in our affairs here!“We, the people from Country H, are standing on top of the world, yet here you are living in their shadows!“You’re telling me that people like you can even become governors?“What a joke!“You’re just someone else’s dog from start to
“Do you feel superior just because you work for some outsider?“Or do you think that everyone else is just like you, kneeling to their sight without any hesitation?”Slap!Harvey York was getting a lot more furious the more he kept talking. He swung his backhand across Elmer Evans’ face, sending him flying once again.Elmer’s face was completely swollen. After crawling back up sluggishly, he instinctively retreated a few steps back with a horrible expression after seeing Harvey walking forward toward him.“I’m giving you one chance to apologize. Don’t even think of getting out of this place alive if you don't.“I guarantee you that you and Haider Bauer will be six feet under on the same day next year.”“You…”Elmer was trembling with anger. He wanted to say something, but after looking at Harvey’s gaze and feeling his swollen face, he swallowed down every single word that was on the tip of his tongue.It was said that authority, power, money, and connections are everything now
After a moment, Haider Bauer, Elmer Evans, and the others left while filled with resentment.Leslie Clarke sighed while holding the hundred and fifty million check.“This meeting was an absolute failure, Sir York.“I thought you’d be able to bury the hatchet with them!“But not only did you thoroughly disrespect them, you even sucked their money dry!“Those two old men made dozens of calls before getting their hands on this much money!”Leslie felt completely speechless.The two of them came to show off power, yet they did not even have a single dollar in their pocket at this moment.They even had to borrow all this money from wherever and whomever they could!Harvey York forcing them to pay up was a damage way worse than just disrespecting them.It was equal to robbing them of their retirement savings at this point.This meant that there would be no way to make peace with them in the future.“No worries. Even if we don’t go against each other completely, they’ll still hate
“If that’s the case, Vince York will surely change up his strategies after they complain to him about it!“And if Vince tries to play a long game because he thinks you’re too tough to deal with, the old dogs will think that he’s not even trying to seek justice for them.“With that, judging from the well-respected reputation that the two have, they might have a chance to sway Vince’s forces and put a dent in his people’s hearts.“If Vince decides to take action because of today’s incident, he’ll surely show the cracks in his plans!“You might even have the chance to deal with him completely.“Safe to say that you were already planning for this right when you walked inside this building.“This is what it means to win a battle without even being in person…”Leslie Clarke then handed over the check to Harvey York as she was speaking.She thought that Harvey was escalating the situation quite a bit and acting too reckless for his own good…But after receiving Toby Clarke’s pointers
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
