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
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
