Yvonne Xavier’s expression turned sour. She was not a casual woman! Harvey York would have never said something like that.However, those words coming from someone like Wyatt Johnson infuriated Yvonne.She was barely restraining her anger as she said, “I’ve already contacted the York family to verify your identity, whether you are the new CEO or not. However, the titles of CEO and secretary are merely hierarchical relationships here, so please have some respect!”“Respect?” Wyatt smirked. ‘Sometimes, subduing a person is a very exciting process—Yvonne has a temper, so it’ll be interesting to make her yield.’Wyatt suddenly stood up from his chair and slammed the office door shut.Yvonne jumped, her heart pounding. “What do you think you’re doing, Wyatt Johnson?”“What do you think I’m doing?” Wyatt smiled creepily at Yvonne, and continued, “Didn’t I just tell you? I’m free right now, and isn’t this normal anyway?”Yvonne was shocked—she did not know Wyatt was this shameless. She
“Get away from me! Don’t touch me!”“You’d rather submit to force than accept my request, huh?” Wyatt slapped Yvonne across her face and pulled her hair roughly.Yvonne let out a pained cry, and Wyatt became more excited. The old witch had been tormenting him these past few days—his dignity had been thrown to the ground and stepped on over and over again.At that moment, he felt like he had gotten his pride as a man back.“Looks like the last CEO didn’t get it on with you, hmm? Well, I’ll be happy to take that opportunity!”Wyatt felt so powerful that he did not care about the consequences. He was the CEO of York Enterprise, what was the worst that could happen from sleeping with a secretary?Yvonne kept struggling, and her screams echoed throughout the office.Wendy Sorell was on her way to the office to report her progress after handling her matters at the main hall. She heard Yvonne’s screams and rushed to the office, swinging open the door. She gasped at the sight before her
“Do it then if you’re that capable! I’d like to see how powerful you actually are,” Yvonne snarled, eyes blazing with hatred for the man in front of her.“Alright, don’t think I’ll forget the both of you! I’ll make you two pay once my identity is confirmed!” Wyatt was a little dizzy at that point, so he could not do anything else even if he wanted to. He glared at them, then left the building quickly.In the CEO’s office, Wendy and Yvonne stared at each other blankly—they never thought that something like this could happen.“Miss Xavier, what happened? Where’s Mr. York? Did something happen to him?” Wendy was worried sick; Harvey had been absent for the past few days, then suddenly a new CEO had been elected. Was Harvey safe?“The CEO should be fine,” Yvonne said hesitantly. She quickly dialed Harvey’s phone, but he didn’t pick up.“What should we do?” Wendy started panicking.Yvonne inhaled deeply, forcing herself to calm down. “Come on, let’s get out of the office for now. We
“You…” The boss was panicking. The man in front of him was too calm! All of his men could not beat him, so what could he do on his own?“What… What do you want?” The boss mumbled, scared for his life.“The truth,” Harvey stated calmly. “If you tell me what I want to know, I’ll let you live. If you don’t, well, don’t blame me for what happens next.”“Of course…” The boss had sweat dripping down his face. The young man in front of him had an aura so terrifying that he unconsciously bowed. “B… Boss! Whatever it is you want to know, I’ll tell you!”“It was a woman who asked us to deal with you. She looked rich and only had one request: to cripple you. If you didn't behave, she said we could end your life too.”“End my life?” Harvey chuckled. “Is she from the York family?”“We have no idea—we only do what we’re told to get the money. But I do have a photo of her that one of my subordinates took secretly.” The boss quickly handed his phone to Harvey.Harvey glanced at the photo. The w
The streets of Niumhi were lively in the middle of the night following Tyson Woods’ order. Hundreds of men scoured the streets, going through massive hotels, clubhouses, and entertainment venues. No matter where Wyatt Johnson was hiding, they would find him.At that moment, Wyatt was in Cecilia Zachary’s apartment. The old hag hadn’t been tossing him around today, so he excitedly went to buy a few blue pills, ready to take his frustration out on Cecilia.However, Cecilia was not rushing anything—she had prepared a nice candlelight dinner, and the two were enjoying their food and being flirty with each other.Wyatt was a little impatient, but in his eyes, Cecilia was like a mouse that was already caught in his trap.“Oh Cecilia, how is it that I feel so comfortable around you?” Wyatt was leaning on the couch, his eyes half-closed in bliss as Cecilia gave him a head massage.Having this goddess of a woman give him a massage like a humble servant was truly heavenly.Cecilia was a
The crowd stepped aside to let Tyson Woods in, and he stalked in menacingly. He glanced at Wyatt and laughed.“Yeah, we do. How about you give us a few million dollars for pocket change?”“I was joking and you thought I was being serious? You dare come to me for money? Who do you think I am?” Wyatt narrowed his eyes at them. It was easier to negotiate if all they wanted was money. The others should know about his identity, so he doubted they would dare touch him with his new status as the CEO of York Enterprise.“I don’t care who you are! If you don’t hand over the money, I’ll break your bones! You figure it out on your own,” Tyson growled, and kicked a coffee table which broke into half.“Ah!” Cecilia let out a frightened shriek, her body trembling.“Can it! Make another sound and I’ll tear your mouth apart!” Tyson glared at Cecilia icily.Cecilia’s face instantly turned white and she quickly shut her mouth.Wyatt had peed his pants after Tyson's display of brute force. Whateve
“Harvey York… Why is a worthless piece of trash like you here?” Wyatt Johnson snarled.Harvey got cut off by Tyson before he could even open his mouth. “Sir York is my boss, disrespect him again and I’ll make sure you never walk again!”Wyatt froze. That worthless trash was someone’s boss? ‘How is this possible? Is this some sort of sick joke? Were these people hired by Harvey to act and scare us?’Wyatt leaped to his feet furiously and pointed at Harvey.“Some sort of live-in son-in-law you are! How dare you get people to scare us?! Do you know who I am? I’m the CEO of York Enterprise! The Zimmer family will go bankrupt because of you tomorrow! You’ll pay for this!”Cecilia also stood up and glared at Harvey. “I’ll tell Mandy all about this and make her throw you out of the family—you won’t even have a spot to beg for food.”After seeing Harvey, Wyatt and Cecilia naturally regained their egos tenfold.In their eyes, Harvey was nothing but a live-in son-in-law—anybody could step
At that moment, Cecilia was sitting on the ground, frozen in shock. The woman had always been vain, so she was a bit aware of the situation.‘Harvey York really was their boss. Wasn’t the one in the lead respectful towards him too? How is that possible? He’s just a worthless live-in son-in-law!’‘For the past three years, whenever I would go to Mandy’s house, this piece of filth would always be washing feet or the restroom. I could even tell the filth to wash my dirty shoes and socks that I didn’t want to wash. But… I can’t believe that he’s a gangster boss…’This incident had really shocked Cecilia. Now that she knew his identity, would Harvey end her life here?Cecilia was terrified for her life. These people that lived on the streets were cruel and brutal—if they really wanted to do something, nobody would even know if she suddenly disappeared.“Harvey… Sir York…” Cecilia kneeled in front of Harvey and hugged his legs, sobbing hysterically. “I was wrong… I was truly wrong…” C
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
Ghostface instantly slammed to the ground. He got on his knees and coughed out a mouthful of blood after a long time, and only then did he stand up with a dark expression."Gah!"When he stood up, blood was trickling from the edge of his lips. His chest was heaving visibly, and he was in a terrible state. He was critically wounded by one hit, and that alone could tell just how powerful Harvey was.Meanwhile, Harvey could not be bothered to waste his breath with Ghostface anymore. He instantly jumped out and slammed his fist once again.Whoosh!Suddenly, a few ninjas appeared from their surroundings. It was obvious they saw Ghostface was at a disadvantage. But they were kicked away by Harvey when they had just gotten close. The ninjas from the Island Nations meant nothing when faced with Harvey when he was being serious."Quick! Use the Martial Arts Weapons!" Ghostface's expression darkened once more when he saw Harvey was unstoppable and yelled out to his subordinates. Ghostface
A sharp, piercing pain immediately filled Harvey's entire being as he felt a huge needle had stabbed into his left arm. While there was no actual injury, the pain was excruciating. But the pain was not physical, it was from deep within his soul.When Ghostface saw Harvey's expression, he widened his eyes as he once again spat more fresh blood from the tip of his tongue on the doll, and the doll convulsed even harder. After that, Ghostface could only let out a cold laugh as he once again picked up the needle and this time, pinned it on the doll's chest.A shapeless pain began to spread in Harvey's being, and this time, it was heading straight to his chest.Harvey's expression changed again. Just what kind of a curse was this? How could it have had such an effect? As the needle went deeper, Harvey could start to sense the pain in his chest. He suspected that when the needle completely went into the doll, his heart would burst open.At that moment, even Harvey had to sign in admiratio
As the gigantic fireball flew straight toward Harvey, he could feel that even the humidity in the air had completely evaporated. The scent of scorching heat permeated the air. Harvey retreated again and again. With every step he took, he would kick a few pieces of rocks right at the fireball, trying to make the fireball collapse on itself.Thud! Thud! Thud!The ball of fire that was rolling toward Harvey exploded before it could get close to him in the end due to the surging of the air currents. However, all the surrounding plant life had been scorched into dust by the powerful heatwave, as if someone had detonated an explosion in the scene.Harvey's eyes narrowed when he saw what had happened. This technique had already surpassed what one would normally call martial arts. It was bordering close to fantasy. It was the first time Harvey saw a killing technique like this.And so, Harvey retreated once more and maintained a safe distance between himself and Ghostface before looking cu
Clang!The dagger instantly shattered into pieces and shot out in all directions. Some even sliced century-old trees in half. After shattering the dagger, Harvey's fist did not stop. It continued to crash forward inevitably, surrounded with aura.Ghostface's expression immediately changed, and a ghost mask instantly appeared on his face, his aura once again strengthening.Crack!But before his aura could reach his height, a crack appeared on the ghost mask, which was cut into two. With Harvey suppressing Ghostface's aura, his ace in the hole was completely useless and meaningless."Impossible…" Ghostface muttered as he could feel the cold sweat on his skin and the hairs on his arm standing up. He continuously hurled all kinds of weapons with his hands. Daggers and darts were thrown repeatedly, and his figure kept retreating backward, wanting to stop the attack with everything at his disposal.Clang!The sounds of metal being shattered rang again. His resistance was futile. In th
Whoosh!As one of the most outstanding elites among the Origin Ninjas, Ghostface had always been extremely decisive in his actions. Before he had even finished speaking with Harvey, a dagger had already appeared in his hand. His figure flickered, and the dagger went straight for Harvey.Harvey whipped his right hand out, as if he was already expecting Ghostface would ambush him, and a branch from a tree that he took parried Ghostface's dagger.Clang!As their weapons clashed with each other, a loud clang rang. Harvey's figure wavered a little bit while Ghostface's figure was flung into the air, and he landed where he started.Ghostface was shocked that Harvey could deflect his ambush with just a tree branch. With a cold smile on his face, the aura around him became even more intense. While Harvey was quite powerful, he himself was not that weak either. Those who had reached this stage had an indomitable fighting spirit.Harvey was also quite surprised when he saw Ghostface's batt
This moment caused Djinn's expression to twist in shock as he instinctively took half a step backward. The dread on his face was obvious. Who could expect that the attack he put all his might… An attack that was so terrifying did nothing at all.Before Djinn could regain his footing, the Swarm Queen's figure moved again, and the blade in her hand slashed.Djinn's figure paused as his footsteps froze, and fear spread in his eyes. That was because the Swarm Queen's blue blade had already pierced into his chest.Spurt!Fresh blood spurt out from his wound. However, the blood was not scarlet red, but a brilliant blue…"You…" Djinn's expression twisted when he saw what happened. He was not suffering… He could not even feel the pain. Then, his body slowly began to sway before crumpling on the ground. His life was slowly being drained away.Djinn seemed to remember something.He blew his final breath and said, "You… You're Belladonna Cult's Guardian… The cult's most powerful ace…"-
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
