Everyone was shocked!Aurora Parker and the celebrities around her were at a loss. They felt extremely sluggish at that moment.In just three minutes, Aurora was completely blacklisted with just a single message!And it was not just the Kaizen Group!Every single partner within Durin had completely cut ties with her!Simply put, she was completely finished!She was one of the top celebrities in Country H, but nobody would recognize her outside of that!Without Country H’s market, she was just an ordinary person within the entertainment industry.After all, an industry like this had never been short of handsome men and beautiful women.‘I’m finished!’The thought came to Aurora’s mind.Aurora froze for a moment.“You must be joking.“Those calls must be fake, right?”“You can kneel now,” replied Harvey York calmly.Aurora trembled. Her phone was violently ringing at this very moment. After picking up a few phone calls, she was trembling incessantly.Without hesitation, s
“You’re pretty powerful! I’m just a little actress…”“Sure, you can blacklist me with just a single text.”“But don’t forget that I have people supporting me!”“Don’t you think that you’re a little too arrogant to corner me like this without even giving me a damn chance?!”“In this world, fortune knocks on every man’s door! This time, luck’s on my side!”“What goes around, comes around.”“You’ll pay for what you did today!”Aurora knew she was no match for Harvey.But she was still a celebrity at the end of the day. Since begging for mercy was useless, she would naturally have to make a few threats before slipping out of the place.“Leave already.” Harvey shooed her away, still calm.He felt that he was only dirtying his hands when dealing with people like this.Several security guards pounced forward like hungry tigers the very next moment.“I don’t need you to send me!”“I’ll get out of here myself!”Aurora glared at Harvey, her expression ugly.“I’m not done with you!
“Since we’re about done with our food, let’s talk business,” Queenie said, as she sipped her wine.Harvey chuckled.“I knew something was up. There are no free meals in this world, after all.”“What? Did you already figure out your fiance in just a single morning?”Harvey’s words infuriated Queenie.She then let out a huge sigh, pushing away her anger.“I didn’t manage to figure out everything about him, but I do have a rough idea.”“Young Master Leo here goes beyond my expectations.”“I’ve asked about him from some of my friends back in The Empire. For the past six years, Jason hasn’t been discreet as the rumors say.”“Apparently, he spent three years building his own billion-dollar company.”“He then spent an additional three years to join the Knights Templar before becoming the deputy commander. Rumors say that he might be a God of War now.”“In just six years, Jason has become quite the prominent figure in The Empire’s upper social circle.“It’s said that even The Empir
The return of the king!The comeback of a God of War!These weren’t simply rumors; they were proof of Jason’s strength!“So, what are you going to do about it?”Harvey thought about the situation before glancing at the horizon.“Judging from our current information, he didn’t come here for a stroll.”“It’s fine. I have a few cards up my sleeve.”Queenie’s gaze fell on Harvey once more. A faint smile played on her lips.“Me?”Harvey chuckled.“I do have a few scores to settle with Young Master Leo.”“The Mordu Casino-Palace, for example…”“Aurora, who had been embarrassing herself all over Durin as well…”“But before I take action, I’ll need you to prepare yourself.”“People who become Gods of War in a span of a few years are all extraordinary people.”Queenie nodded lightly. This was her first fierce battle out of many before she could rise to power within her family. Since this was also Vince’s scheme against her, she had to be ready.If she kept relying on Harvey, he
Seeing Aurora’s sorry state, the people around couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.She was quite the beauty, after all. Everyone would surely feel that way after seeing her in such distress.Harvey frowned. After hearing Aurora call out the name Mr. York for the third time, he knew someone was instructing her to do all this.‘Is she here to make a scene?’‘Or is she here to show off her crying?’“The moment you got out, everything’s already been settled.”Queenie’s face, however, was cold. “You getting blacklisted is no one else’s problem but yours. You brought this on yourself.”“Even without Harvey, someone else would’ve blacklisted you sooner or later.”“I’m really sorry, Mr. York, Miss York! I know what I did wrong.”Aurora moved her legs and crawled toward Harvey and Queenie, all the while putting on a pitiful look on her face.“I came to Hong Kong for my first ever concert. This is my first stop in Country H, my biggest highlight in the entertainment industry!” s
As the security guards dragged Aurora out, she kept struggling and begging for mercy with a hysterical expression.“Please! Give me one more chance!”“I was wrong! I was wrong!!!”Her followers started to echo her cries.In front of a crowd who didn’t know the minute details of what had taken place, Aurora and the others seemed like people who were being taken advantage of.When Aurora and the others were finally gone, Queenie said calmly, “That woman’s quite the character. She seemed like she was going to fight us to the death, but then she started groveling in front of us…”“What a flexible woman!”“Not quite.”Harvey stood up and went to the back door.“Let’s have a look outside.”Queenie froze. A hint of confusion could be seen between her eyebrows.…On Victoria Harbor’s plaza, Aurora and her followers could be seen kneeling at the Seaside Restaurant area even after being thrown out.She was still displaying a tearful expression as she wailed in sorrow.She was beggi
There was a satisfied look on his handsome face.“You did well, Aurora! I’m sorry to make you go through all that,” he said with a look of approval.“You’re too kind! It’s my greatest honor to serve you!”Aurora seemed quite coy when she spoke to him.“Besides, how dare Harvey and Queenie blacklist me throughout the entirety of Country H like that?! I’ll let them taste their own medicine!”“But I don’t understand. Why did you only ask me to go against Queenie, and not Harvey?”“If I’m correct, the person who blacklisted me must be the rumored powerful figure from Country H, Harvey York!”“We should be dealing with him right now!”Aurora knew her actions would cause a lot of trouble for Queenie, but she was more interested in taking revenge against Harvey.After all, she considered herself to be the person responsible for Durin’s fame. Additionally, the Kaizen Group wouldn’t have tasted success had it not been for her help.Thus, she wanted to trample on Harvey.“There is an
“If this keeps up, you’ll have your first casino license in just a few days!”Aurora couldn’t help but hug Mateo’s shoulder. This man who was within reach was simply far too outstanding.In just two days, he had stirred up a huge storm in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Not only was the Hamilton family forced to a corner, but the Yorks of Hong Kong also had their own set of troubles to deal with.This was a real man!“Young Master Leo was already prepared to deal with the Hamilton family.”“He told me that I have to fight them on the gambling table, so they have no excuses!”“The Mordu Casino-Palace’s casino license is just the beginning.”“I’ll make them hand over every single casino license to me, along with their assets…”“That way, it’ll be far more interesting.”Aurora giggled shyly.“Are you still going tonight?”“If you are, is it fine if you take me with you?”“Not tonight.”Mateo looked calm. “Didn’t the King of Gambling himself challenge me on social media?”“T
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
