Queenie narrowed her eyes at Harvey, staring for a short while. She could tell that he didn’t want anything to do with her at all.She let out a cold snort.“Alright. I’m done scaring you,” she scoffed.“My father already told me what I need to do when I get out.”“He wanted me to gain total control of Loxus Consortium, the company working under the Yorks of Hong Kong before Grandma York’s birthday.”“I only have a chance to fight Vince if I get it in my hands.”“Do your best. I’ll make sure to help in any way I can,” Harvey said, flashing her a smile. At the same time, Harvey told Edwin to look up the location of the company before sending Queenie there.After that, Harvey would be able to leave.Queenie picked up the laptop beside her and checked her emails.“My father transferred all of his shares from Loxus Consortium under my name.”“It’s exactly thirty percent.”“But when he signed the agreement, I gave a suggestion.”“I wanted half of it to be under your name.”“
Bang!“What a move!”“They’re trying to remove my source of authority, you say?”An unspeakable wretched look could be seen on Vince’s face.“For so many years, the company belonged to the head house…”“When did some random outsiders get the right to show off in our own turf?!”“Do they think we’re just a bunch of cowards?!”…After having a simple meal with Julian and sending him back home, Vince hastily made his way to his office building at Victoria Harbor.He walked in, a gloomy look on his face. As he entered, he saw Lexie in her gown, gracefully playing the piano.She was playing the ninth opus of Nocturnes, a score resembling unending murderous intent and vengeance.Vince was in no mood to enjoy the masterpiece. He instantly walked forward and slammed his hands at the piano keys, ruining the moment.“Do you know what time it is, Auntie?! Yet, you’re still in the mood to play piano!”“You said Julian had to be kept in prison, right?!”“Not only is he out, but I also
The Toyota Prado stopped in front of the Loxus Consortium.Queenie made a few calls on the road for someone to send a complete set of uniform and makeup in a van.Stepping out of the van half an hour later, she had turned into quite the delicate beauty.With her steadfast way of doing things, she wouldn’t waste a single second so she could rise to power.After making a few more phone calls, she realized that her position of the executive CEO wasn’t low at all. Out of the entire company, she would be considered as the second-in-command.But personnel and financial authority was still being governed by the head of the head house, Cory York.Queenie was in charge of marketing.No one would dare oppose Cory’s decision, either. After all, he was the true holder of the Loxus Consortium; he was the chairman and the CEO of the company.Cory had displayed enough respect to assign Queenie as the executive CEO after one phone call from Marcel.Queenie knew full well that some things just
Harvey didn’t say a single word. He only stood behind Queenie quietly, as if he was her bodyguard.He wanted to see how this so-called capable woman would control the people around her.Queenie ignored the crowd’s gaze completely and took the CEO’s seat.“My name is Queenie York. I’m sure you know who I am, so I’ll cut to the chase.”“I hosted this meeting today to tell you all this: the lord himself has appointed me to be in this position.“Everyone here has a deep connection with the Yorks of Hong Kong.”“I hope we’ll all help each other and stick together at any cost.”“I, Queenie, will never treat any of you poorly.”“Another thing. Let me introduce you all to another person, Harvey York.”“He has no position within the company. He’s just a consultant.”“But his words are my own.”“His requests are the same as mine!”“If you go against him, you go against me.”“Understood?!”Queenie’s resolve had taken control of the crowd. Not only did she reveal her greatest support
The man in the Givenchy suit put on an intimidating expression.“If you can’t take responsibility for all this, then I’m afraid your position might not stay yours for long.”“This kept man here won’t survive for much longer, either!”Harvey glanced at the man in the Givenchy suit, curious. What a fierce man!He was already disrespecting Queenie on her very first meeting!Was he not scared of dying in the hands of the Yorks?After all, Queenie’s identity was still ever present. That was a fact no one could ignore.After flipping through the files, Harvey finally figured out who the man was. His name was Dante Castro, and he was the marketing manager of the company.At the same time, he had quite an interesting identity. He was said to be the son of Cory’s butler, and was raised under his wing. He was considered to be Cory’s trusted subordinate as well.Even Vince would have to be polite to him.With this identity, it was only natural for Dante to be this fearless when facing t
At Dante’s words, the higher ups in the room had playful smiles on their faces.They knew he was using the opportunity to bring Queenie down.After all, everyone knew that Ishikawa Corporation had the best selling electronic appliances.Because of its cheap price, the products were sold all over the entire world.As they were trying to get into Country H’s market, they were looking for a local distributor.Even Cory’s secretary wasn’t good enough to make a deal.Since that was the case, then surely Dante had no chance to gain the corporation’s favor.Even if he did, the Ishikawa Corporation wouldn’t use such a poor excuse to cancel the deal.After Queenie took position, it would be plausible to make her take the blame instead.After all, who else could take the blame? She had quite a high status, after all.The higher ups were all on the same side as Dante.Nobody would stand up for Queenie.Everyone looked at Queenie with faint smiles, waiting to see how she would deal wit
Bang!Before Queenie could say anything, Harvey picked up an ashtray and slammed it furiously on the table.The loud bang froze the crowd completely. Even the higher ups who were running their mouths couldn’t help but go silent.After all, this was a meeting room. Everyone would usually only run their mouths, but nobody expected that someone would dare threaten the whole room by smashing an ashtray.Before the higher ups could react, Harvey exclaimed coldly, “Bunch of useless idiots!”“Every single one of you are higher ups of the company, but you can’t even get a deal from a small company from the Island Nations?”“The company kept you here for this crucial moment, but what happened? None of you can even complete such a simple task!”“You idiots!”“You people dress up all nice, filled to the brim with luxury items…”“I’m sure you’re well-respected by many.”“And, yet! Not only do you not care about your own company, but you’re also pushing blame when you’re the most needed!”
Dante was trembling in rage.“You b*stard! You’re calling everyone here trash?”“Are you trying to go against all of us here?”“Do you want to be in the company or not?!”“Even the CEO won’t dare to provoke us! What right do you have to talk sh*t in front of all of us?!”“Let me tell you something! Because of CEO York, the Ishikawa Corporation’s business is ruined! This isn’t over!”“Let me tell…”Slap, slap!Harvey swung his palm across Dante’s face twice, resolutely aloof all the way.“This isn’t over, you say?”“You think I can’t go against everyone here?”“You think I’m talking sh*t?”“What? Are you angry at me? Or are you questioning CEO York’s arrangements?”Harvey calmly brought out a document and flipped through the pages before slamming it on the table.“The marketing department’s job is to find business partners and make deals.”“Since Loxus Consortium is such a huge company, the CEO’s job is to keep everything under control.”“If we can’t even make a deal wit
After that, the duo were just going to leave like that. Yvonne frowned and then calmly said, "Stop them."After she made her orders, dozens of security guards walked out from the corner. They were all security guards from the Xaviers of Wolsing, and each was extremely strong.They did not attack but simply blocked all the entrances. When Morganna saw that, she was instantly enraged. "What's the meaning of this? How dare you stop the path of those who come from a world of freedom? Do you know what will happen if you do this?"Harvey merely smiled and asked, "World of freedom? Why don't you tell me which world of freedom you're from?""I've already gained permanent residency in Country A, so of course I'm from Country A!" answered Morganna smugly. "Country A is the most advanced country in this world. Now that we have joined Country A, of course we're people of freedom! I'm warning you, now that we're from Country A, your law is useless against us! Now, step out of our way!"Harvey
The expression of the man and woman both darkened with Yvonne's questioning. "Who are you then? What right do you have to question us? How can you prove that this is a private hospital? How can you prove that this place is not under the jurisdiction of the Health Department? Who do you think you are? The boss of this place?"The woman cried out arrogantly. Even her arguments were full of disdain."That's right. You're not the boss of this place, so why are you interfering in our matter? Go away, or I'm going to make you pay for our destroyed drone!" The two pretended they did nothing wrong, and Yvonne's sudden appearance spoiled their plans.Harvey observed the two coldly. While they acted very roguishly, their flexibility and arrogant tone showed they were anything but ordinary.At the very least, they were very used to situations like this."I'm sorry, but I'm Saint Mary Hospital's CEO," replied Yvonne with a smile and then pointed at the man's mobile. "Delete everything you've
Harvey calmly asked, "Do we have any leads?"Jesse shook his head. "Currently? No. The one who's behind this hid their tracks too well. I've already sent my people out to investigate the source when this happened, but we didn't get any valuable leads. But at this time, finding the person behind this isn't important. The important thing right now is that we need to save the patriarch. "Otherwise, if anything happens to him, Linus will have another excuse to attack us tomorrow at the press conference."Harvey nodded, pulled out a mobile, and gave it to Jesse. Then he said, "Since I'm heavily suspected of being the person behind this ploy, I can't do anything to help him in this situation. But I believe Oskar will be able to help for my sake.""The National Doctor Senior Oskar Armstrong?" Jesse was slightly stunned when he saw the number on the screen of the phone Harvey handed to him. A moment later, he was already making a call on the other side. He wanted to contact him, but only
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne arrived at Saint Mary Hospital, a hospital the Xaviers had invested in. They immediately headed to the ICU.When the two of them walked in, Jesse, Sia, and the others from the Xaviers quickly walked over."Yvonne, Harvey." It was obvious that they were treating Harvey as one of them already.Yvonne nodded and asked, "What happened?"Jesse extended his hand and said, "You'll know when you see."Yvonne and Harvey exchanged a look and walked into the ICU together with Jesse. Then, they saw countless machines continuing to operate, surrounded by blinking lights in the innermost ward. Nashon was lying in the hospital bed with different kinds of liquid flowing into him through the tubes connected to him.As the liquid was intravenously fed into him, Nashon's life seemed to be hanging in a dangerous balance."What happened to Nashon?" Yvonne asked. She could not believe it. She just spoke with Nashon over dinner last night. Why would Nashon suddenl
Next morning.Two more days until Linus was released from prisonThis time, the Xaviers did everything they could. On the one hand, they used the media to set certain things as top searches. On the other hand, they used all the spies they had planted to find all the contracts regarding their work with the Island Nation.But as time passed, things did not progress well.At the CEO's office in Sky Corporation, Harvey had just finished reviewing some documents. Just when he was going to force himself to go through the rest, the office door opened slightly.Next, Yvonne slowly walked in with a cup of well-brewed coffee and lightly placed it on the desk. When Harvey saw her in the office, he was a bit surprised. "Why are you here? Are the problems with the Xaviers all done?"Yvonne shook her head. "Not yet, but we did everything we could. Whether we can solve it will depend on fate, I guess. But rather than staying at the residence with a frown, I rather do some work at Sky Corporatio
Janus was slightly surprised. "If we simply watch how things develop, Linus would absolutely fall. Nashon is a schemer and with Jesse's relationship with Dragon Cell and Dragon Guard… Even Yvonne isn't any ordinary woman. Not to mention that now Linus is imprisoned, everything will be over by the time he's out."Emery snapped his fingers and said, "Of course, I can't do something too obvious as an observer, but as Linus' friend, it's fine if we give him a word of advice, right? Linus is from Country A Xavier Inc., so we only need to tell him what will happen next. If he still doesn't know what to do, he deserves everything that comes for him."Janus nodded as he listened to Emery casually explain it. Since Linus started it all, he needed to end it. Everything Linus was facing right now should be solved by himself.Meanwhile, given Country A Xavier Inc.'s abilities and reach, countering the Xaviers of Wolsing should not be that hard once they knew what they wanted to do."There's an
Janus hummed under his breath for a while before saying, "Sir, aren't you overestimating Harvey too much? Think about it. He might be smart, but only a little. On Wolsing's chessboard, he's only a pawn at most. It's pure luck that he can accomplish some things and offend a few people here and there."Emery set down the teacup in his hand and sighed. "Lucky? I admit that he might be lucky, but can someone be so fortunate that he can take over both the Country H Commercial Group and Country H Martial Arts Alliance at the same time when he literally just arrived in Wolsing?"And then, it doesn't matter who goes against him, whether it's a Young Master from the top ten families or the arrogant Islanders, all of them end up badly. And then he even interfered with the top ten families and five hidden families' family matters, which meant that he was already part of the top social circle in our country and had access to our resources."But most importantly, someone like him was completely
Emery's gaze did not even shift as he calmly said, "Speak."Janus whispered, "Linus Xavier, who just came from Country A, had been sent to prison by the precinct. From the news we received from the precinct, this precinct's higher-ups have a vested interest in this, and they've even received some interference from Country A's foreign relations department."That's why the precinct will handle this as fairly as possible. According to my sources, Linus won't be convicted or deported, but he would be locked up for at least three days and three nights."Emery finished the tea from his cup and said, "Isn't he back to regain the Xaviers of Wolsing? How did he end up behind bars when he just arrived? Who did that?""Harvey," Janus did not want to mention the name, but he had to. "The man has a good relationship with Journi and impresses Princess Sienna. And according to my sources, he's also the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group and the representative of Country H's Martial Arts A
"Send out our men and use all our contacts and spies in the Island Nation. We must find all the originals and copies of the contracts we've signed with the Islanders and destroy all the evidence immediately. We must do it quickly and destroy them before Linus is released. If we can't, the problem we face will be worse than anything we can imagine," said Nashon with a stern expression.Harvey narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me help as well. Yvonne knows Sky Corporation very well. Let me know if you need Sky Corporation's ability or my help. While we seemed to face only Country A Xavier Inc., everything was too much of a coincidence."I believe this might be a continuation of what happened to the Shinto Way. The people behind all of this had to be from Country A. Not only is he aiming to throw this family into chaos, but he might also be aiming to throw the entire country into chaos. That's why we have to be quick, and we must achieve it. We must control the risk and losses to be as l
