Vroooom!The revving of the car engines could be heard. Under such dire circumstances, the driver was barely conscious. He carried out Xynthia’s commands as if he was a robot.The car entered a small road and went into an expressway leading straight to the airport.The Toyota Prados froze, shocked. Then, they hurriedly trailed Xynthia’s car.When the car arrived at the airport, the driver sped right toward the bustling internet hotspot.A lot of people looked over, trying to see what happened.This was a dead end, though; the car had to stop after arriving near a cafe.“What did you come here for, Xynthia?”“You don’t think that you can just fly away now, right?”Riley was so angry that she was laughing.“I won’t say anything if you try to escape through the highway.”“But you got yourself caught in a dead end! What’s the point of struggling in the first place?!”“You did nothing besides make the Hatchet Gang’s lives better!”“Listen to me! Do everything as they say!”“Th
Boss Dart and Dylan were part of the Four Goliaths.Since Dylan was a distant relative of the Bauer family, he cared about his family’s reputation. Thus, it was rare for him to do anything that would incriminate his name.However, Boss Dart was a real troublemaker. He wouldn’t care about useless things like his dignity. Every time he took action, he would never hold anything back.After seeing Boss Dart calmly smoking his cigar, Riley couldn’t help but stomp her feet.“What now? What now?!”“That’s Boss Dart, Xynthia!”“They’ll torture every single one of us before killing us!”“At least keep my body intact when I die…”Riley wasn’t the only one. The other two assistants went pale when they saw the man.They were going mad just thinking about getting tainted before being killed.Following the driver’s lead, the bodyguards locked the doors. Their faces were horrible.Even so, they were still shaking in their boots.Xynthia ignored them. Instead, she looked at the cafe not fa
Perhaps Xynthia’s actions gave the bodyguards some courage.Before, they were trembling in fear inside the car. Then, they gritted their teeth in determination and stepped in front of Xynthia.At this, Boss Dart and his goons guffawed mockingly. They looked at the guards with a spiteful glare. In their eyes, the beautiful-looking Xynthia and the fierce-looking bodyguards were all just lambs to be slaughtered.If the Hatchet Gang willed it, these people would’ve been ground to dust.Seeing the Hatchet Gang looking at Xynthia in such a way, and Boss Dart blowing a puff of smoke with an arrogant look…The driver couldn’t hold back his feelings any longer. He mustered the courage to step outside and held the firearm on his waist.“Show us some respect, Boss Dart! Xynthia’s a celebrity! She’s a top talent! She…”Slap!Before the driver could finish, he was slapped to the ground by one of the Hatchet Gang’s men.A hatchet was then placed right on top of his head before he could fi
Xynthia didn’t blame them, as they were just hired to do their jobs. She took a step forward and glared coldly at Boss Dart and his goons. “The Hatchet Gang, right?”“You think you’re strong?”“Then you better kill me right now!”“If not, you won’t have a chance to grovel when my brother-in-law’s here!”Riley and the others were completely shocked when they heard Xynthia’s words.They didn’t think that Xynthia would act this way, even under these pressing circumstances.Boss Dart and the others froze.They knew Xynthia was quite hard to deal with…But they didn’t think that she still dared to talk big.“Kill you?”A heinous look flashed across Boss Dart’s face.“Of course we’ll do that!”“We’ll do that in my bed later!”“I’ll guarantee you’ll beg for me to kill you when that happens!”“You want to die, don’t you?!”“Your wish is my command!”Boss Dart clapped and exclaimed, “Strip her and find the closest hotel! I’ll deal with her!”“I’d like to see if she’ll still r
The bystanders were completely shocked, so much that they stumbled backward.They were terrified; they knew that something terrible was about to happen that day.“It’s hard to drive around the highlands. I didn’t think that I’d miss one.”Right then, the Land Cruiser’s door was kicked open.Aiden jumped out of the car with an annoyed scowl.Since the main culprit was still alive, his achievement was robbed of him.At the sight of Aiden’s arrogant look and dominant tone, an unspeakable wave of fear occupied Boss Dart’s heart.He stumbled off the ground and wiped the blood off his face, and glared at Aiden.“Who the hell are you, you b*stard?!”“How dare you crash into us! We’re from the Hatchet Gang!”“Do you not care about your superiors?”“You’re completely lawless!”“How dare you challenge the Hatchet Gang?!”“Your fate’s already sealed!”Boss Dart gritted his teeth.Power has an important place in modern society.People like Boss Dart only dared to act pompously beca
While Xynthia was still caught up in her thoughts, Harvey calmly glanced at Boss Dart and dragged his thumb across his neck.Riley, who was hiding on the side of the street, saw Harvey’s gesture and her eyes twitched. She felt that something big was about to happen.Clack!Aiden’s lips curved into a wretched grin when he saw Harvey’s gesture, and then brought out a hunting rifle. He casually aimed it right on Boss Dart’s leg.Bang!Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger.In the next second, Boss Dart stumbled backward while clutching his leg.The crowd screamed in fear before running away, frightened they would get themselves involved with the mess.“Aaaaagh!”Wails of pain broke the air. Soon enough, only Boss Dart was standing in the middle of the place.“You…”“You people…”“You’re lawless!”“Do you not care about the law?!”“I’m Boss Dart! I’m one of the Four Goliaths of the Hatchet Gang!”Boss Dart was trembling uncontrollably. The confidence he barely muster
Rachel brought out a box of anesthetics and injected one in Boss Dart.She stopped the bleeding from his body to save him from death.Boss Dart’s expression darkened upon seeing what Rachel did.He knew a terrible fate awaited him.Boss Dart, who had been extremely arrogant and had always taken advantage of the citizens, was currently filled with immense hatred and despair.He was a ruthless man of the underworld, but when compared to these people, he felt he was nothing.He was the one who would make the people’s lives a living hell…Now, he had gotten a taste of his own medicine.“You’re still alive, right?”Aiden poked Boss Dart’s head with the hunting rifle.“Lead the way.”“We’re going to deal with the Hatchet Gang right now!”Two Longmen disciples ran over and lifted Boss Dart on a wheelchair.Boss Dart’s fury intensified when he saw that a wheelchair was already prepared for him.“You b*stards! You crossed the damn line!”Bang!Aiden wasted no time pulling the tr
Harvey casually picked up a bottle of soda and took a sip out of it, smiling.“A lot of people have already died. We’ve also crippled one of the Four Goliaths.”“If we don’t destroy the Hatchet Gang once and for all, we’ll have a hard time staying in Flutwell in the future.”“Don’t worry. When we’re done, I’ll treat you to a barbeque.”A strong sense of confidence was radiating from Harvey’s body.“Is your brother-in-law really that impressive, Xynthia?”Riley was shocked to hear Harvey’s words. Soon after, she tried to figure out his identity.‘If this man belongs to a rich family, I’ll have to cling onto him with all my might…’“Brother-In-Law’s a live-in son-in-law! Just like what Mother said, he only got this far because he’s my sister’s kept man,” Xynthia said quietly.Harvey had a lot of identities, but in Xynthia’s eyes, him being her brother-in-law was the most important one.Riley froze at that.“Is he really just a live-in son-in-law?”“Yeah! The kind that does no
Very quickly, many Islanders ran to the stage. All of them were wearing the Islanders' traditional summer garb. The way they stood and the way they lifted their beard made them easily identifiable as Islanders.According to how unified Islanders were, everything they said would most likely be true.When Linus saw what was happening, sat down and folded his legs. His sexy secretary helped him light up a cigar. He took a deep breath, then looked at the unfolding scene with interest.Very quickly, the Islander leading the men took a step forward and said angrily, "Everyone! I'm Shinto Way's disciple, Tojo Nomura. I'm also the leader of the disciples still in Country H. "A few days ago, the Xaviers of Wolsing requested a marriage with our Young Master, Shingen. They have also signed a lot of contracts with us. Some of them include how Shinto Way will transfer the shares of our assets in Country H to them, while they will have to transfer ownership of their business on the Island Natio
When Yvonne saw Linus pulling out things they shouldn't and even giving them to the reporters, she instantly realized that he cared little about the consequences anymore.What he did was to ensure the Xaviers were blamed for everything. Even if he gained nothing from it, he still wanted to do it just so the Xaviers would have a hard time in Country H. He even wanted to use this to make both Country H and the Island Nation to force them to publicly deal with Shingen's death.Harvey, who caused all of this, would be in a lot of trouble. Yvonne looked at Linus coldly. "Linus, you know that taking things out of context and making up stories won't be beneficial to you. Where's your conscience?""Conscience? What's that?" Linus said with an exaggerated expression. "I'm not the one who killed Shingen. It's you Xaviers of Wolsing and the prospective son-in-law you wanted. Are you afraid others will find out? I'm just someone who knew the truth with a righteous heart!"I can't bear to see
The faces of Yvonne and the others from the Xaviers all shifted a little. It was obvious they didn't expect an Islander to appear. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at all of this coldly.Journi, who was a little bit surprised, turned to Harvey subconsciously. "What's going on?""We're simply giving the full package. The most difficult part of all of this was to explain why the Islanders would give up. Rather than waiting for others to expose the truth, why don't we give everyone the truth?" Harvey said calmly."What do you mean?" Journi said with a frown. "Simple. While these people are Islanders, they'll work for money. In this situation, the words of an Islander are more effective than the words of a hundred people from Country H…"Journi was curious about what Harvey wanted to do, but then some of the reporters realized what was happening. "Are these allegations from the Islanders true? Did you really assassinate Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, who wanted to improve the relationship
All the reporters and attendants were captivated by Yvonne's story. They didn't expect a commercial clash would be even more exciting than what they watched in dramas. At the same time, Yvonne highlighted the helplessness she felt when she was forced to marry Shingen. Everyone pitied her for what she had to do.As for how they dealt with Shingen, Yvonne simply brushed it over, saying that the Xaviers managed to get what they were after. She sighed and said, "These are all supposed to be secret, something not supposed to be revealed. The reason I revealed everything today is that I wanted to prove that the Xaviers didn't have much to do with the Island Nations."You can investigate this and see whether it's real or not, and I can bear full responsibility for what is said today. Also, to prove everything that I said and destroy baseless accusations, I now invite our patriarch Mr. Nashon Xavier to speak with everyone right here and now."With a wave of her hand, a door was opened fro
"First of all, the Xaviers had never thought of working with the Islanders. Not in the past, not in the present, not in the future. "Secondly, I will never marry an Islander. I'm born here, and my allegiance is to our country. "Thirdly, there are some photos on the internet about contracts and weddings. I acknowledge that they do exist, but I can swear to all of you that it is simply the result of a commercial clash. And in the end, the Xaviers have won. Please don't worry about the process. Just take note of the result." Yvonne spoke calmly and honestly.She also didn't hide the wedding that she shouldn't be speaking about. She acknowledged it, not trying to hide or evade the question. There was only silence; everyone felt Yvonne's sincerity.Normally speaking, when someone started a press conference like this, it was so that they could wash some of the rumors away. However, Yvonne didn't do that. She simply stated the truth. And it was truth like this that was the most trus
Since Harvey already had his decision, Yvonne wasn't going to say anything else. She made a few calls and they began the acquisition. This time, they were going to use Harvey's capital and name, so on the surface, this had nothing to do with Sky Corporation.In other words, even if Country A noticed someone was acquiring all the shares in the stock market, they wouldn't be able to tell it was Sky Corporation for the time being. Once they realized who was the one acquiring the shares, it would be too late.After that was done, Harvey gave Journi a sly smile. "Is there anything else we should do? "Dealing with the rumors and making a declaration are already impressive moves. There's only one last move to make," Journi chuckled. "Tomorrow, when everything will be settled, the Xaviers will need to organize a major news conference. There, the patriarch Nashon Xavier would need to reveal himself. That way, we'll be able to dispel the rumors without needing to exert any more effort. A l
As the proofs had all been posted online, some netizens writing badly against the Xaviers immediately separated into two camps.A few still believed that the Xaviers had turned coat, but most believed in the Xaviers. Yvonne was still single, after all. That alone was enough to gain their trust."I told you. The Xaviers were one of the top ten families in country H. They wouldn't have become a servant to the Islanders.""The beautiful ladies from our country should remain single instead of letting anyone have them.""I believe someone is targeting the Xavier family. Maybe this is an action from some overseas forces. Don't believe those lies, everyone!""The Xavier family has already published their explanation. They've even posted their contracts on their website for everyone to check. It's enough to prove that they had nothing to hide.""The relevant departments should interfere with this as soon as possible and restore their reputation."Everyone sighed in relief when some neti
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
