“Didn’t I tell you already?! I refuse!“Get out of here!”Queenie York was still in a state of rage. After seeing someone push the door open, she instantly lashed out.“This is how you treat someone who got you this position, Executive CEO York?”Harvey lightly chuckled.Queenie came to her senses and took a deep breath to calm herself down.“Sorry. I thought you were…”“There’s no need for that,” said Harvey while smiling.“I was just outside.“What? Someone’s already coming for you just after a few days as the executive CEO?”Harvey intentionally left out the conversation to give Queenie some personal space.Queenie had no intention to hide it, though. After heaving a huge sigh, she said, “Since you’re outside, you must’ve heard what happened, right?“Mateo Leo is Jason Leo’s most trusted subordinate. Do you know him?”“I’ve only heard of him, but not really,” replied Harvey calmly.Queenie frowned for a moment.“Jason was the most legendary person within Hong Kong and
Harvey York frowned.“The lord of the family too?”Queenie York shook her head.“My father would never agree to this.“After all, married daughters are lost forever. Once the marriage between Jason and I goes through, I’ll have to give up my authority within the family once and for all…“But since the cost of canceling the marriage is too high, Grandma York would surely refuse.“My father would always respect his elders…”Queenie was worried. She knew that this would be hard to deal with.“This time, the marriage will most likely go through.“Wealthy families have no feelings toward each other. Besides, I’m just an adopted daughter.”Harvey frowned.“Judging from the current situation, you might not be their target. Instead, they might be going for Lord York,” said Harvey calmly.“Lord York is using you to keep Vince York down.“Vince is then taking drastic measures to get Jason Leo back.“What a great plan!”Queenie froze slightly after hearing Harvey’s words before gri
Aurora Parker, Durin’s well-known celebrity, was revealed to have a green card of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets!At the same time, she also uploaded quite a popular video.The contents of the video were simple. Aurora was shamelessly praising The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Harvey York clicked on the video and saw Aurora in traditional clothing while showing her beautiful face on screen.The celebrity, who became famous because of Durin, fluently spoke in The Empire’s language while showing a warm smile.“Recently, fans have been asking me why I decided to get a green card from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.“This is what I tell everyone.“To smell a breath of freedom.“Five days ago, when I stepped out of the plane…“I prepared five masks and was about to wear one.”“But when I took a breath of air there…“I left my mask!“The air here is filled with freedom! It was just refreshing!“This strange luxury is what brought me to get the green card!”A
A few bodyguards in black suits stopped Harvey York and Queenie York in their path with serious expressions.A few couples and tourists were stopped as well.In front of the bodyguards, a woman in a white uniform coldly glanced at Harvey and the other.“Miss Parker is dining right now. None of you may enter.“Because of you people, her mood might get affected.“When she’s all done, you people may enter only then.”Those bossy words were filled with utter righteousness, as if she was used to doing those things.Harvey sized up the group of people and calmly asked, “Are you the boss or the manager here?”“Neither,” replied the woman coldly after hearing Harvey’s question.“So, did Miss Parker book out the entire restaurant?” Harvey questioned curiously.“Are you braindead or something?“Don’t you know that we’d need at least hundreds and thousands of dollars to do that?!“Do you think we’re idiots?!”The woman in white stared at Harvey, as if he was a clown.“We’re not payi
Queenie York showed no emotion at that time.“I’m giving you one whole minute. If you don’t get out of my restaurant right now, I’ll get security to throw you out of here!” exclaimed Queenie coldly.“Aaaaaah!”The woman in white was sent flying before she fell to the ground while she covered her face with a horrible expression.A bright red palm print was clearly showing on her beautiful face, completely ruining it. It was quite a miserable sight.She froze while covering her face, then stood up in a fit of rage.“You b*tch! Do you know who I am?!“Do you have a death wish or something?!”Slap!Queenie swung the back of her palm across the woman’s face once again.The woman fell to the ground and struggled for quite a while before getting back up again.This time, there were two palm prints on the woman’s face. Her face was as swollen as a pig when she showed a wretched expression.Queenie looked at the sight and calmly reasoned, “If I’m being blocked off by some outsider i
Even though the woman in white knew she could not go against Queenie York, she could not bear to take the humiliation.At that moment, she gritted her teeth while showing a resentful look.“Even if you’re the lady of the family, you can’t just hit people as you please!“There are laws here in Hong Kong!“I’ll call the cops right now!”“Laws, you say?”Queenie walked forward with a cold expression before swinging her palm forward.Slap!“When I reason with you, you come at me with power.”Slap!“But when I fight back, you try to reason with me?!”Slap!“How are you this shameless?! Are you planning to take advantage of the entire world until you’re satisfied?!”After slapping the woman around a few times, Queenie glanced at the restaurant manager, who was trotting toward her.“The customer didn’t book the entire restaurant, nor were there any orders from the higher-ups, but you still let her hog the entire place and chase the customers away like that?” exclaimed Queenie co
Harvey York looked at the fierce woman full of interest and recognized her as the woman he saw on Durin in the morning.She was the woman who got the green card for The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets and complained on Durin about the lack of fresh air and freedom in Country H, Aurora Parker herself.Harvey squinted after seeing her show up. He felt a little pity, thinking that the world was so small.Harvey was fully prepared to make Yvonne Xavier blacklist this woman. She then showed up before him while making such a big ruckus.“Miss York, right? This is a little inappropriate, isn’t it?”Aurora seemed quite stern. She did not give in even after hearing about Queenie York’s identity.She squinted with her long and narrow eyes at Queenie and coldly exclaimed, “No matter what, I’m still a customer here.“Yet, you dare hit my manager and throw us out of here?“Is this what you people are capable of?“This is your so-called advocacy on courtesy?“Do you know who you’re talki
“I’ll ask you one thing, can you take responsibility for your words?“You should know that some words are quite hard to take back.”Aurora showed a righteous look while she took a step forward, bossily.“When you’re done insulting The Empire, come back for me.“An internet-famous celebrity with millions of followers like me eating in your restaurant will not only boost your name. It’ll even turn this place into a hotspot.“I’m already kind enough not to ask for an endorsement fee.“So what if I occupy your restaurant for a little while?“As for stopping your other customers…“There’s just no other choice! I have too many fans here!“If I don’t keep them away, what if everyone pretends to be a customer here while they come to take pictures and ask for my signature?! How am I supposed to eat in peace?!“Even if they’re not my fans, I’m paying them my respect for making them wait while I have my meal.“They’re extremely blessed, and that’s why they have the right to wait for me
"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
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
