Noah York took another puff of his cigar and then stood up.“I really don’t know what to say about you.“Should I call you ignorant?“Or are you just a little too vigorous because of your young age?“In any case, I’ll be teaching you a lesson today.“I’ll let you know what it means to have someone else that’s way better than you!”At this very moment, Noah was no longer pretending to be some businessman. He was a true upperclassman.A decisive and ruthless one at that.Harvey chuckled.“You think you can even lay a finger on me with these people, Third Lord York?“This isn’t enough now, is it?”“It’s enough. They’ll be able to humble you properly.”Noah glanced at the woman by his side and calmly said, “Snow, let this man see what a peak King of Arms looks like.“Let him know that his lame kung fu doesn’t mean anything to us wealthy families.“Right. Just break all his limbs. Don’t kill him just yet. I’m still waiting for him to be the next master of Hong Kong.“Only whe
Bang!The smell of gunpowder wafted in the air when the bullet flew. It was a decisive shot.Naturally, there was no hint of hesitation or mercy in the shot. Snow’s goal was to keep Harvey York in this very room.It was a shame. Snow was fast, but Harvey was faster.Harvey pounced forward as Snow pulled the trigger and tackled right into her torso.Bang!The stray bullet hit right at the ceiling.Snow was immediately sent flying before she crashed onto a bookshelf made out of Stayport’s yellow flower pear wood. Her orifices were bleeding profusely, while many of her bones were broken.The silver firearm flew away from her arms, spinning on the ground, out of reach from her.“You’re a peak King of Arms? That’s all you can do?”Harvey was showing utter disgust.The words were enough to put Snow in despair.Harvey could not be bothered to talk anymore. He left the office all on his own.He then walked into an elevator before arriving at the front door.“Who are you?!”“What
“What?“Third Brother took Harvey York away after leaving the garden villa?“His personal bodyguard, Snow, got completely crippled?“That b*stard even slapped Third Brother in the face?!”Inside the VIP sickroom of Hong Kong Hospital, LexieYork gasped as she spoke on the phone while cutting an apple for Vince York.Her face was filled with utter disbelief after she hung up.Then, she carried the plate of apples on Vince’s table before him and carefully poked a toothpick into one of the sliced pieces.Vince put down his laptop, removing himself from his busy business for the time being. He looked at Lexie and said, “What happened?”Lexie let out a huge sigh.“I don’t know what came over Third Brother. He went to stop Harvey…“And he suffered as a result.“He also got humiliated.”Lexie then explained everything that had happened to Vince.After biting into a piece of an apple, he then showed a confused look on his face.“Interesting. Julian York was taken to the Law Enforc
“What did you say?!”Vince York froze before coming back to his senses.“Looks like Third Uncle here’s trying to kick me out of my position without making a noise!“But is there proof?“He’ll never admit to it if we don’t show any evidence.”Lexie York then showed a picture on her phone to Vince.“According to his statements, he said that he has proof about what happened ten years ago. Besides the third house, everyone else in the family was involved.”Harvey York and Noah York could be seen sitting in front of each other in the picture.After squinting for a moment, Vince curiously said, “But he’s also involved with the incident…“If he shows the evidence, he’ll kill himself before he even gets to us.”“Knowing that sly old fox, the evidence will surely be in his favor since he already has it ready,” replied Lexie calmly.“Besides, he’s most likely trying to give the evidence to Selena Judd through Harvey’s hands.“And since Selena trusts Harvey that much, she’ll surely bu
The evening sun of the Victoria Harbor was just extravagant.Harvey York sat on the roof of a cruise ship while flipping through dozens of newspapers he bought.But after he was done, he seemed a little down.He did not expect that the reporters were such cowards. He gave them such a big scoop, but they would not even dare report anything interesting.The reporters would not dare to disrespect Vince York or Noah York.“As expected from the rich and powerful.“Even the media’s being controlled by them.”Right as Harvey was lamenting about the situation, a person walked up and casually sat on the recliner beside Harvey.He was Marcel York, the lord of the Yorks of Hong Kong.He was wearing a Hawaiian-styled floral shirt and a pair of big sunglasses. He did not bring anybody with him at this moment.If Harvey did not know who he was, he would have mistaken him for an ordinary man on the road.Harvey handed Marcel a cup of coffee after seeing him lie down.“Why are you here tod
Noah York was wearing a windbreaker, showing off his aura of an upperclassman.The palm print on his face was already adequately handled by a doctor. The mark was almost untraceable at this point.But when Harvey York glanced over, he could still see a faint palm print.Marcel York looked over curiously, interested in how Noah would play out this big show.“Is that you, Lord York?”“Ah! Sir York! You’re here too?”Noah came uninvited before jogging to Harvey’s cruise. When he reached the roof, he acted like he was close to Harvey.It was hard to imagine that he was planning to force his hand against Harvey and was slapped in the face just before this.Harvey squinted slightly. He had to acknowledge just how resourceful these sly old foxes were.Harvey could still vividly remember the slap across Noah’s face, but he looked as if he had already forgotten about it.Impressive…Harvey had no intention of letting Noah off the hook, though.“What a small world, Third Lord York!
Noah froze. He couldn’t get himself to bring the cup over.Narrowing his eyes briefly at Marcel, Noel then let out a bitter laugh. “Looks like my Fourth Brother no longer has any emotions after being the lord for so long…”“I never understood how aloof wealthy families can get, but now I do.”“Speak. Don’t waste my time,” Marcel said, his voice ice.Noah hesitated for a moment when seeing Marcel’s apathetic, emotionless demeanor.“Second Brother should’ve called you by now,” Noah said quietly.“Let my son go.”“Why?” Marcel demanded coldly.“He’s my son. He made mistakes, but he doesn’t deserve death.”“The Yorks’ Law Enforcement are in charge of his case, but I’m sure they’ll respect your decision as well.”“We don’t have a lot of male heirs in the family this generation. Julian’s considered to be quite the great talent, too.”“I don’t want my son to have his future ruined just because of something like this.”“If you want, I’ll even make him your son.”“No matter what,
After Noah left, Harvey stood up and picked up a file. He flipped through the pages before asking quietly, “What show are you putting on now, Lord York?”“Since you knew all these were with Noah, why not just take it from him and give your son justice?”“Why go through all this trouble?”“You’re letting Julian out and giving him his position back just for these?”“That seems like a waste.”“I got it myself. It’s different if someone else gave it to me.”“At least in front of Grandma York, anyway.”“Besides, it’s necessary for me to free Julian.”“If I don’t, I won’t have an excuse to free my own daughter.”Harvey’s pupils shrunk. Marcel seemed to have started his plans.The day of Grandma York’s birthday would prove to be an exciting one.Harvey chuckled, amused.“If that’s the case, then I’d like an invitation to Grandma York’s birthday as well, Lord York.”“I’d feel bad for myself if I’m not there to see the show with my own eyes!”Marcel looked at Harvey with a profoun
When Royce saw the change in Xynthia's expression, he became even more pleased. He quickly explained everything that had just happened. Of course, he had changed certain details during his explanation, turning himself into an innocent victim. Meanwhile, Harvey and Xynthia became a despicable couple who did whatever they wanted."How shameless can you get, Royce?!" Xynthia couldn't help but yell when she heard how Royce changed the facts. "My mom did take your money, but I already promised that I'll give you back the money! But not only did you take away my phone, you didn't even let me leave. You're even going to force myself on you. Don't you think that what you're doing is especially shameless?"Royce's expression didn't even change as he said, "Shameless? It's true I have a thing for money and beautiful women, but I have my own rules. I never force anyone. Every woman that became mine did so out of their own volition. Everyone in Country A knows this!"Royce looked at Kyros and
Electric sparks surrounded the head of the war hammer, which exuded a charred stench. It was flying just like the legendary Mjolnir, a powerful aura surrounding it.Tyson's expression changed as he immediately moved and blocked in front of Harvey. He strikes at the hammer with both hands holding its hilt with all his might.Clang!There was a loud clang as the war hammer and sword struck each other. Tyson swayed for a moment, and blood trickled down from the edge of his lips.His eyes became extremely sharp, as if he had an epiphany. He once again stepped forward and pounced ahead, and the sword in his hand slashed downward.Bang!This time, there was a large bang—Tyson's attack struck the man's armor. The man shook, and he was blown away. He slammed into the restaurant's glass—it started to crack immediately, looking like a spiderweb, terrifying everyone who watched.At the same time, Harvey turned and looked at the man in the armor. His face was quite handsome, and the muscles
Harvey ignored the arrogant Royce and immediately took Xynthia's hand, attempting to turn and leave. Though he wanted to floor Royce and grind that scumbag's face against the floor, he decided to end everything here. Considering that Xynthia was still present, he was worried it might scare her.But when Royce saw Harvey taking Xynthia and heading to the exit, he thought Harvey was scared. He scoffed coldly and waved his hand; without wasting another breath, he ordered, "Get him!"The foreign bodyguards didn't even waste any more time and obeyed his command, roaring as they charged toward Harvey. Electric sparks appeared around them as their muscles turned green, and steel claws emerged from their fists. It was obvious now that they weren't normal people, but rather mutants from Country A.Many were stunned when they saw this scene and grew pale, and instinctively stepped backward to avoid them.The mutants hadn't even reached Harvey when Tyson, who had been standing aside quietly
Royce let out a cry as his body shuddered. He held the other side of his face, which had swelled. There was only disbelief on his face; he couldn't help but take a few steps back.He couldn't believe that Harvey dared to give him a second slap! Everyone who saw it was speechless, as if they had seen something horrifying. Many of the scions and influential people quickly withdrew along with the beauties in their arms. None of them wanted to get caught in this.One who dared to slap Royce again and again was either truly talented or had a death wish. But no matter which kind of person he was, there was no way this would end peacefully today.Even someone ordinary, maybe with a bit of influence, would fight to the death against another who slapped him twice."Brother-in-law…" Xynthia looked at Harvey with admiration. She knew Harvey was good, but she didn't expect he would act so rashly for her. After a while, Royce finally managed to recover. He held his face, the muscles on it
The scions and the politically powerful within the restaurant thought they had drunk too much and were hallucinating. The bodyguards behind Royce even slapped themselves a few times, just to make sure they weren't dreaming.It was obvious that they couldn't believe that Harvey had walked into the revolving restaurant on top of the Geraldton Hotel without a care in the world and even slapped the secret owner of the hotel to the floor.That was Royce, the scion of the Yates of Country A! How dare Harvey? How could he do that?"Just who are you?" Royce demanded. Royce finally realized what was happening. He crawled back up as he held his face, stopping his bodyguards that were going to attack. While he was used to being arrogant, he had learned from his experience in Country A. He knew that no matter how prideful he was, someone would always try to use him as a stepping stone.Someone like that… It was either a madman or a scion with a powerful background.No matter how Royce loo
"Do you think your own sister won't abandon you?" Royce said sadistically as he attempted to provoke Xynthia. "My dear Xynthia, that's not 15 dollars—that's 150 million dollars! A lot of people are willing to sell their countries and families for that much. All I'm asking them is to give you up to me…and that's nothing."I've watched so many things like this happen in the past years. If you ask me, you should just give up. I'm someone with limited patience. Once I've lost interest in you, I'll simply throw you out of the stage. And then, you'll know what awaits you after that…" Royce leaned over toward Xynthia and extended his right hand, wanting to raise her chin."No! Don't touch me!" Xynthia yelled with a dark expression. "My sister will definitely send the money! Do you think I don't know what my sister is like?""What deep sisterly love!" Royce said as he clapped. "Fine—seeing how deep your love for your sister is, I'll give you ten minutes. But remember! If your sister isn't
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
