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
“I don’t care who you are!”“I don’t care what background you have!”“If you hurt Boss Dart, you go against us!”“We’ll rip you to shreds!”“Let him go right now!”Under the gangster’s lead, his companions stepped forward with wretched looks.The Hatchet Gang were the ones who took advantage of others for so many years, and not the other way around.Boss Dart was currently strapped to the hood of the car after being completely crippled.Boss Dart, who was on the verge of death, chuckled coldly after seeing his brothers standing up for him. He felt extremely confident in his chances to survive.“You’re dead, you b*stards!”“How dare you cripple me!”“You want to destroy the Hatchet Gang?!”“Ha! What a f*cking joke!”“Just look at us! How are you supposed to get your way in?!”“Are you gonna ram your heads at us?!”“You’re dead!”“There’s no turning back!”“I’ve seen a lot of people who have a death wish, but it’s my first time seeing someone this eager to die!”Riley b
Even so, surely Aiden wouldn’t give them a chance to retaliate!He burst out laughing and stepped on the pedal once more with a crazed look on his face. Without warning, the Toyota Prado charged forward.A few elites would be knocked into the air every time Aiden charged forward.Aiden had no intention to hold back, regardless of whether the gangsters wielded hatchets or firearms.This rich playboy was indeed quite ruthless. Ordinary people wouldn’t be as well-prepared as him.The wicked would always suffer more evil. This incident was the embodiment of that meaning.In a blink of an eye, almost a hundred people from the camp fell to the ground screaming, without any strength left to fight back.Only the man with slicked back hair was left standing. He trembled uncontrollably.Seeing that Aiden was about to ram him with the car, he couldn’t hold his feelings back any longer.“You b*stard!”“Get out of the f*cking car and fight me if you dare!”Bang!Before he was done talki
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
