Around eight burly men turned around and furiously glared at Harvey York after hearing someone calling them out behind their backs.The woman dressed in a gown coldly chuckled with a pleased look on her face.She seemed pretty satisfied with Harvey’s appearance at this moment.“You bastard! Don’t you know we’re filming here?!”The strong man leading the group squinted at Harvey before he coldly laughed.“Get out of here already!“And forget whatever you saw today!“If not, I’ll make you one of the main characters too!”“I’m sorry. I can’t just leave right now.”Harvey chuckled.“The man you beat up is acquainted with me. Since he’s asking me for help, I can’t just ditch him and leave, right?“For my sake, why don’t you let him go?”Harvey showed a smile.The strong man froze slightly after hearing Harvey’s words, then burst into laughter.“You must have a death wish or something, Kid!“Do you know who we are?!“You’re asking us to respect you?!“You think you have the
“Fine. I can let him go.”Harvey York smiled before throwing the strong man to the ground.The moment the man slammed to the ground, his throat became sore, and his eyes blacked out. Utter despair could be seen on his face at that time.At the same time, blood could be seen spurting out of his mouth. It was a horrible sight.He tried to gasp for air, but he could not as if someone was choking him.The strong man fainted on the ground, filled with shock and resentment. He could not believe that Harvey would actually do something like this to him.Bang!Harvey kicked the man toward the woman in a gown and said, “I let him go. Satisfied?”Rupert Howell could not help but let out a smirk after seeing what had happened.This was precisely what he wanted.“All together!”The other strong men looked at each other before screaming their hearts out while running toward Harvey.Their boss was taken out. If they did not deal with Harvey, their end would be worse than death.Slap slap
After dealing with the matter, Harvey York then gave Edwin Mendoza a call so he could clean up the mess at the Marine Park.Harvey wanted to call Leslie Clarke, but he stopped after thinking that it was quite inappropriate for a woman to handle these things.Not long after, Rupert Howell was sent to a nearby hospital for his treatment.Edwin stood behind Harvey with a frown on his face. Naturally, he recognized Rina French, who was unconscious at this moment.“What? Is there a problem?” Harvey asked after seeing the troubled look on Edwin’s face.Edwin nodded.“There might be, yes. This woman’s from the Emerald Club.“The Emerald Club is one of the top four families of Hong Kong, the Parson family’s territory.“You provoked Kaitlyn Parson before this, and now the Emerald Club. I’m sure they won’t let you off the hook that easily at this point…”“The Parson family?” Harvey burst out laughing.“Are you sure that I’m the one who provoked them and not the other way around?”Ed
To completely squash the problem, Edwin Mendoza decided on his own and brought Leslie Clarke with them.Clearly, he knew that he did not have that much influence in Hong Kong. With Leslie, the three would likely have the strength to suppress the enemy, maybe even make his words carry more weight.As for Harvey York, he had a change of clothes and looked just like a bodyguard escorting them. He was completely inconspicuous at that moment.The convoy arrived at the Emerald Club soon after.The place was located around Edgeworth territory. Every single inch of the land was worth gold, and the building had quite the rustic feel to it.The Emerald Club occupied a very large area in the city center, but it was still well proportioned. Truly a scenic view.This was one of the favorite places for the rich and powerful people to hang out. Safe to say that there had been no people below standard who showed up here.Other than those people, there were many well-known beauties that looked l
Helena Hoffman’s professional smile was as fake as possible, tempting people to slap her across her face.Harvey York glanced at Edwin Mendoza with a smile. These people were obviously trying to make Edwin’s life harder.After all, even though Edwin was not from Hong Kong or Las Vegas’ top-rated family, it should not be a problem for him to enter just by showing his face in places like these.But since everyone knew that the Mendoza family was standing beside Harvey with confidence…They were clearly trying to give Harvey a hard time by stopping Edwin.When Edwin was about to force his hand, Leslie Clarke stopped him immediately.“There’s no need to do it here, Young Master Mendoza. Since we’re both here, we’ll be known for breaking the rules if you start throwing hands.“I have a membership card here. The highest level one at that.”Leslie pulled out a card from her Hermes bag as she was talking.Kaitlyn Parson was the one who gave her that a long time ago. Even though she ha
Kaitlyn Parson was wearing a gown tailored to fit her body with the cut ending on the top of the thigh, revealing her pale and slender legs.It was truly a captivating view.After all, the future lady of the Yorks did seem to possess some decent qualities.Even after getting beat up without grumbling about it in her room, her socializing was enough to prove her attitude and capabilities.While Harvey York was showing his admiration, Edwin Mendoza frowned after glancing at a dark-skinned young man sitting beside Kaitlyn.“Louis is back in Hong Kong? How come I didn’t know about this?“Wasn’t he screwing around as a mercenary at the Dark Island? He took over a few gold mines recently, didn’t he?” Leslie Clarke quietly exclaimed.“Why is he back now? It doesn’t seem right!”Harvey shifted his gaze toward the dark-skinned man in a camouflage uniform while the two were whispering.The aura that the man exuded seemed like a mercenary on the battlefield. A murderous intent could be f
“Don’t cross the line, Louis Castro!”Leslie Clarke frowned, seeing the sight.“We’re all from the same circle here! Why are you pulling your gun out for?!“Are you trying to cause a commotion here?!”Edwin Mendoza showed an expression as cold as ice.“Are you braindead?! Are you pointing your gun toward me?!”“Pull the trigger then!“If you don’t, I’ll make sure that you’ll sleep six feet under!”No matter the case, Edwin was still a King of Arms who was brought up by the Sword Camp.Even though Louis was a little well-known in the Dark Island, Edwin still was not as intimidated as the others.He would have instantly forced his hand if it were not for the peace talk that day.The only subordinate following Edwin instinctively took action, but the dark-skinned men close by all pulled out their firearms before pointing them right toward the group.Naturally, those people were all mercenaries that Louis brought from the Dark Island. All of them lived their lives on the edge.
Louis glared at Edwin, who was suffering in silence, before letting out a disdainful chuckle. Arrogance was written all over his face. He narrowed his eyes and hissed,“Alright, Edwin. Since you can’t be all high and mighty anymore, let me ask you again…”“Are you kneeling or not?!”Leslie’s face turned icy. “Don’t you dare cross the line, Louis!” she growled, livid. “Cross the line?”Louis sized up Leslie with a scornful look.“Do you think I don’t have the guts to hurt you just because your father’s the first-in-command for Hong Kong?”“Try to stop me, and I’ll come for you right after I’m finished with him!”Louis gave her face a threatening pinch, his gaze on her filled with utter disdain.Then, he shifted his attention back to Edwin.“I’ll count to three. Kneel, and I’ll give you a chance to talk with Kaitlyn,” he warned grimly. “And if you don’t, I’ll just kill you right here.”“Of course, you can try to resist. But if you do, I’ll kill every single one of you!”
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
