Everyone had the same thought at that moment. Taichi Ishikawa was here to force the Loxus Consortium so he could benefit from the situation.If not, why would he come all the way here after being thoroughly disrespected?Cory York managed to regain his composure before thinking of a way to deal with Taichi.“Miss Ishikawa, Young Master Ishikawa, this way please!”When Cory and the others stood up, planning to welcome the arrival of Taichi and the others, the front desk lady had already brought a dozen people to the meeting room.The person in front was an Islander-looking woman wearing an elegant suit.Her face showed a professional smile as she swiftly followed the front desk lady.The person behind her was none other than Taichi, who was showing utter despair.Secretary Akina, who still had a few palm prints on her face, was here with the assistants, the legal department, bodyguards, and other people…Harvey York curiously glanced at the woman and immediately recognized her
Cory York was showing an enthusiastic look.“If it’s something you need help with, we’ll definitely lend you a hand if it is within our power.“After all, there’s nothing I can’t handle in Hong Kong or Las Vegas!“Even if the people from Loxus Consortium managed to offend the honorable Ishikawa family, I’ll be sure to give you a fair statement if you say the word.”Naturally, Cory still thought that Yukiko Ishikawa dragged this many people with her so she could ask him for a fair statement.If not, with Yukiko’s status, why would she even come here all the way from Mordu?She even came in such a hurry. She was clearly looking for trouble.As for the polite attitude, Cory also felt it was normal.After all, peaceful measures should be used before war.The people from the Island Nations had been known as the country of etiquette. Even if they bump into the person who slaughtered their entire family, they would still bow properly before swinging their blade.It seemed normal for
Cory York slightly froze before forcing out a smile.“Miss Ishikawa, you must’ve been mistaken.“The young lord of the family is Vince York. It’s not Harvey York.”The meaning of those words was simple. Harvey was not even from the Yorks of Hong Kong, and there was no need to be this polite toward him.Cory then walked toward Taichi Ishikawa while showing a warm smile.“I heard about what transpired yesterday, Young Master Ishikawa.“This is no big deal. It’s all in the past now. Please stand up.”He then tried to lift Taichi off the ground.Taichi completely ignored him and kept slapping himself as he kneeled.“I’m moved by your generosity, Chairman York, but we have to admit to our faults! This is the rule of the Ishikawa family!“We came here today to ask for Sir York’s forgiveness.”Yukiko ignored Cory and kept bowing in front of Harvey.It was apparent that Cory had no say in the situation, and only Harvey did, but she did not say it out loud.Cory’s expression slight
Cory York and the board of directors squinted their eyes.Everyone knew that Harvey York was making an example out of the Islanders.Queenie York’s consultant was trampling them all over like a bunch of dead dogs.Who else would dare to go against Queenie in the future?Simply put, Queenie’s position as the executive CEO would be solidified after this incident.“Thank Sir York properly and change your ways.”Yukiko Ishikawa glanced at Taichi Ishikawa while she was constantly bowing.“If it weren’t for Sir York, you would’ve been thrown to the fishes this afternoon.“Be grateful!”Everyone gasped after hearing Yukiko’s calm words.‘The Islanders sure are ruthless! Not only are they merciless toward their enemies, but they also have no pity toward their own!’Harvey glanced at Yukiko while filled with interest before raising his caution.He knew if he did not manage to suppress Yukiko, he would have been the one to kneel and break his hand, and not Taichi.Due to Yukiko's ar
While the others only saw profit, Harvey York saw through Yukiko Ishikawa’s evil plans hidden underneath her generosity.Simply put, if Harvey were to sign the contract, he would turn into a menace within the entire company, maybe even to the Yorks of Hong Kong too!He would need to fight them all to the death if that were the case!Yukiko understood how powerful Harvey was. Since the Yorks of Hong Kong was one of the five hidden families, they would also have immense strength.If both sides were to fight each other to the death, Country H’s entire upper social circle would also be dragged into it.Trading three years’ worth of an exclusive deal with utter chaos between Harvey and the Yorks of Hong Kong…For the Islanders, who only wished for the people of Country H to suffer, this was an extremely lucrative deal.Without a second thought, Harvey reached out and raised Yukiko’s exquisite jaw with a warm smile.“Three whole years of that just isn’t enough, Miss Ishikawa.“I hav
With Queenie York’s signature on the contract, the Ishikawa Corporation incident came to a close.Queenie’s position within the company and the family was set in stone.After seeing Yukiko Ishikawa and the others stumble out of the venue, Harvey York calmly turned toward Dante Castro.Dante frantically changed his expression and tried to back off.“You remember the deal we made yesterday, Manager Castro?” asked Harvey calmly.“You’re supposed to leave the company if I get the contract, right?“So, when are you planning to do that?”The higher-ups looked at each other after hearing Harvey’s words.Nobody thought that Harvey would bring that up at this point.Dante’s face turned pale.“I… I… I…” he muttered.“Since you have a deal with Consultant York, you should leave then.“Since you’ve worked so hard for the Loxus Consortium for so many years, I’ll give you a year’s worth of salary as severance pay! Don’t you dare show up in front of me ever again!“Come! Give him the mon
“You…”Cory York was boiling with anger before abruptly leaving while coldly glaring at Harvey York.Harvey chuckled. Cory had lost his reputation within the company.It would only be a matter of time before Queenie York took over his place.***“That b*stard!”Inside the office building at Victoria Harbor, Cory still could not manage to calm himself down.The teacup in his hand trembled vigorously. Apparently, he was still enraged.His gaze then shifted toward Vince York before he coldly exclaimed, “I told you so many times already, Vince! Don’t go for Fourth Brother’s people willy-nilly, especially Selena Judd!“Fourth Brother treasures that woman the most!“Whatever you do, don’t ever go against her!“But what happened? Not only did you provoke her, you even got Fourth Brother angry! Now he’s releasing her exceptional daughter just to fight you!“What are you planning to do?!“It’s only five days before the damn birthday banquet!“I can’t believe you got into this big
After coldly looking at Cory York, Lexie York then spoke, “You’re saying Vince York and I are responsible for your loss?“Because we didn’t provide you the right info, so you suffered as a result?”“That’s not what I mean,” Cory coldly replied.“I’m only saying that if we had the right info, we might have the upper hand this time.“At this point, it’s useless blaming anyone.“We can only blame that b*stard for being so calculating and that b*tch for conspiring with the enemy!”“This is my fault, Father.”Vince, who had been dead silent the entire time, finally spoke up. He walked toward Cory and bowed slightly.“I underestimated both Harvey and Queenie.“I thought that a woman who only knew how to kill could be ordered around only after being in the Loxus Consortium…“But this isn’t what I expected to happen.“Both Harvey and Queenie are challenging to deal with after all!“I know there’s still rage in your heart, but you and Auntie shouldn’t be arguing right now.“This is
"Fine, let's stop wasting our breaths now," Linus said as if he had lost his patience. He immediately stubbed out the cigar in his hand and squinted his eyes as he looked at Yvonne. "I'll give you one day. At this time tomorrow, I want to see all the Xaviers of Wolsing kneel before me and all your assets tallied."You and you. Wait for me in my presidential suite tomorrow night," ordered Linus, pointing at Yvonne and Sia. If you miss even one of them, then Wolsing no longer needs a Xavier family."After that, Linus gave a despicable smile and waved his hand, wanting to take everyone with him and leave. Everyone from the Xavier family could only watch with dark expressions. Yvonne and Sia's faces were red with anger."I don't think we have to wait until tomorrow," Harvey stood up with his hands behind his back. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the shareholders. And I believe I have enough say regarding this. There's nothing wrong if you want to take something back from the X
Listening to Linus' gloat, Yvonne's expression slightly darkened. "You're shameless, Linus! Using fabricated evidence to threaten us!""Fabricated?" Linus shrugged. "You know best whether these things actually exist or not. I don't care what your aims are, but aren't you the ones signing these contracts? Don't tell me I'm the one signing it?"All I want to do is to reveal the truth, and you suddenly can't take it anymore? All I did was gently remind you that you, Xaviers of Wolsing, were born and raised here in Country H."What, scared? But I remember there's a saying. A clean hand wants no washing. But do you really think you're clean? Maybe, after I expose these secrets, I might be able to help your country find a family that also has many traitors within it."Linus snickered after he said that, looking as despicable as possible."We can explain everything from the beginning to the end," Jesse could not help but reply as he looked at how despicable Linus was. "If worse comes to
"Evidence working with Islanders?" A glint flashed through Yvonne's eyes. "What do you mean?"Jesse also added, "Everything you've presented is just typical business contracts. The Xaviers' businesses are spread throughout the globe, so there's nothing unusual about what you've just shown.While he was saying that, Jesse clenched his right hand slightly. These were some of the contracts they had signed in order to drag Shinto Way into the mud. After what had happened last night, they were supposed to be all destroyed.However, for some reason, there were photos of these contracts in Linus' possession. It was problematic, true, but not exactly serious.Even Harvey put down his cup. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen, and his expression became somewhat serious. Nashon was the same, and the wrinkle on his forehead became even more profound.Linus laughed, noticing everyone's change in expression, and told the lawyer to start showing more photos. As the lawyer did that, Lin
"Settle the score? What score is there to be settled?" asked Yvonne as she glared at Linus' face."Stop with the act. Of course there is," Linus blew a ring of smoke at Yvonne's face. "Your branch has conspired against us and stolen all the Xaviers' assets. And now, you're going to pretend it never happened? It's not going to be that easy."The reason I'm coming back this time is to warn you. You can either give us back the Xaviers of Wolsing, or I'll forcibly take it back. However, when I do make my move, the entire process wouldn't be that pleasant."Yvonne chuckled and said, "Your things? When your branch left the country, the entire country only left us a single bread. Everything the Xaviers of Wolsing had right now was built using our own two hands. What does this even have to do with you? Whether through logic or the law, what we have now has nothing to do with you. And now, you said you want everything? Who gave you that kind of bravery?"Linus laughed. "Do you think I'll co
"Do you know how we do it in Country A? To cultivate our fighters, we simply inject them with genetic drugs. If we succeed, they become our fighters. If we fail, we'll dump them into the bin. Cultivating a martial artist like you requires decades, But the genetically engineered elites? I only need about ten days. Just that alone; how are you going to fight against us?"Linus' disdain was obvious. He looked down on the Xaviers of Wolsing, especially the primitive techniques used in Country H. In his understanding, Country A's genetic technology was invincible."Well, if I knew you were doing so bad here, I would have prepared dozens of bodyguards for you. They can guard you while you're alive and dead!" Linus cackled in madness and arrogance.All the people he brought over had a meaningful smile on their faces.Meanwhile, the martial artist elites that the Xaviers of Wolsing had cultivated looked at them angrily.It was apparent that Linus' words not only humiliated the Xaviers of
"What are you doing? Why didn't you crawl and go on your knees when you saw your master return, and you keep on screaming when the Xavier family of Wolsing is just a vassal of Country A Xavier Inc!"Didn't that old man Nashon ever teach you what to do? Your attitude makes Country A Xavier Inc. very sad! Even a dog I raise won't bite me, but all you do is keep barking!" reprimanded Linus as he kept shaking his head as if he had got the wrong dog.But the most important part was that such words were aimed at the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families of Country H. While shocking, it also showed just how domineering Country A Xavier Inc. is.Nashon's expression also instantly turned dark.But before he could say anything, Yvonne snorted and said, " Country A Xavier Inc? They're just one branch of our family who betrayed our family. They're just a conglomerate that managed to expand their business after running away into Country A! And now you dare to come here to treat the pl
Vroom!Just as Harvey and the others were almost finished and were about to move on to tea and desserts, the sounds of engines roaring suddenly came from the side door where they were having lunch.At the same time, there were also the sounds of the Xavier family's security guards calling and yelling.But for some reason, the usually stubborn security guards could not stop the engine sounds from getting closer. Very quickly, twelve Black Badge Rolls-Royce drove over and stopped right at the entrance of the side chamber with arrogance.All the artificial hills, flowers, and grass were in a mess.Thump! Thump! Thump!Instantly, dozens of men in military uniforms opened the door and exited from their cars. Their eyes were full of spirit and full of vitality. It was obvious that they were all martial arts elites. Other than that, there were also dozens of elite men and women wearing suits and leather shoes.Then, two sexy secretaries walked over to the car's back seat and opened the
"Harvey's here," Nashon smiled when he saw Harvey arrive. His smile was even brighter than usual when he knew Harvey had agreed to sign the contract.Obviously, Nashon was getting increasingly happy with this man who might become his family's son-in-law in the future."Come, let me introduce someone to you. Behind Yvonne is my granddaughter and Yvonne's cousin, Sia Xavier."Meanwhile, Harvey gave Sia a strange look. She was a young woman who was of 18-years-of-age. She had just matured, and an innocent aura surrounded her. Her plump face and her hourglass figure made her have both innocence and lust.If she were to download a particular streaming app and start streaming, she would instantly get tens of millions of fans very quickly."Come, this is Harvey." Obviously, Yvonne also doted on her cousin.Sia's eyes landed on Harvey briefly, and she weakly greeted, "Brother-in-law…"When Yvonne heard that, her face turned red, and Harvey's expression instantly froze as he almost fell
Harvey sighed. "I thought so too; that's why I gathered everyone here. Why don't all of you give it a look and see what we should do? Should we sign the contract?"Harvey said in a helpless tone. "The old man also said that I don't have to worry. This is not part of Yvonne's assets if she marries over… That the Xavier family wouldn't be such a cheapskate…"The atmosphere became even more awkward. Everyone knew that Yvonne only had her eyes on Harvey, but Harvey's attitude was unclear. After receiving this 10% share, Sky Corporation will be completely bonded with Xavier Corporation.Perhaps Nashon also wanted to use this chance to improve Harvey and Yvonne's relationship a little more.Tyson grinned and said, "Boss, seeing that Yvonne treats you that well, why don't you just marry into the Xavier family and become their live-in son-in-law? That's one of the top ten families in Country H, and if Sky Corporation works with them, we might have a fighting chance even if we're going agai
