Kayden Balmer trembled after hearing Harvey York’s calm words.Soon after, he bowed with both his arms beside him.“Don’t worry, Sir York. I’m quite familiar with the people there. I can’t make them release Lilian Yates and Mandy Zimmer, but I can definitely arrange something to make them feel more comfortable.“But why do you think Logan would keep them locked up?“He suffered quite a big loss today. Is he not scared of you?“You’re like the head of Law Enforcement!”Harvey merely let out a chuckle.“Oh, you. Didn’t you hear what Mac Bauer said?“Longmen belongs to the Bauer family.“This means that in Flutwell, the Bauer family’s already using one of the four cornerstones of Country H as their weapon.“People in Flutwell don’t fear Longmen, but they’re terrified of the Bauer family.“Under these circumstances, do you think they’d care about my identity?“Besides, they’re the ones who are trying to force me out of my position.“Looks like my existence alone is hindering s
“I don’t know you, Manager Bowie. This is the dressing room.“I’m going to remove my makeup now. I need you to leave!”Xynthia Zimmer was shocked by Dylan Bowie’s arrival, but she still managed to keep her composure.Then, she secretly sent a text to someone while she was talking.Aiden Bauer, who had been following Xynthia, stepped forward with a cold look.No matter who this person was, whoever crossed Xynthia would die horrible deaths.“Tch tch tch! You little b*tch…“You change quicker than you change your f*cking clothes, don’t you?!“You took my benefits, came to my show, earned my money, and now you’re planning to pretend that you don’t know me?!“Was I being too kind to you yesterday? Is that why you’re having some sort of mistake right now?”After Boss Dart went to trouble Xynthia, he disappeared without a trace.But after seeing Xynthia perform, Dylan thought that Boss Dart still had not taken action yet.Dylan could not hold his feelings back any longer, so he de
After all, Xynthia Zimmer was here to perform, not to cause trouble.The entertainment industry was already a huge mess, to begin with.If some journalists manage to take pictures of the situation, it would be a huge scandal, no doubt.Even though Dylan Bowie was an insolent man, Xynthia wanted to step on his face so badly…Still, she wanted the situation to die down.“You’re from Mordu yourself, Xynthia. You know exactly how the world works.“But, how are you still so naive?!”Dylan pulled out a cigar and lit it up before blowing a puff of smoke at Xynthia’s face with a playful expression.“Even if you don’t know my identity in Film City, you should at least realize that nobody in Flutwell’s entertainment industry is allowed to reject me, right?“But, you keep doing it repeatedly, then ask me to leave?!“Who gave you the courage?!“I can tell you for sure that you’ll have to do exactly as I say, even if you don’t want to!“I got exactly a hundred and ten fighters from the
Disdain was showing on the corner of Dylan Bowie’s mouth when he coldly exclaimed, “Just play your part as a pretty boy, alright?“Don’t f*cking run your mouth in front of me without permission!“I can kill outsiders like you with a single slap if I want to!“I’d kill at least eight people like you every single month!“At least see if you’re capable enough to save a damsel in distress!”Dylan spoke to Harvey York in a peculiar tone before making a gesture, signaling his men to surround Harvey.Dylan then walked up to Xynthia Zimmer while chuckling coldly.“Just tell me if you’re that impatient, pretty girl!“Why get yourself a pretty boy from so far away…“When you can have me instead?“I’m strong! I got lots of tricks up my sleeve as well! I can last at least five minutes!“I’ll have fun with you today! As long as I have my fill, I promise I won’t bother you ever again!“Just sign the paper, and I’ll even reward you with a few more! You’ll earn so much money!“It’s your b
The moment he raised his finger, Harvey York grabbed it and pushed it back in a split second.Crack!The young man screamed in pain along with the sound of the loud crack before he kept rolling on the ground relentlessly.The man did not expect that something like this would ever happen.He was just a small fry in Flutwell, but he was still Dylan Bowie’s lackey!How could a pretty boy from outside even dare to do something like this?He must have had a death wish!A few beautiful women covered their mouths and stepped back in shock after seeing the sight.This far exceeded their expectations.They never thought that anyone would even challenge a man like Dylan.Their hearts were beating rapidly when they instinctively moved back, afraid they would somehow get dragged into the situation.Dylan froze. He did not expect someone to hurt one of his men in front of him.Bam!Before Dylan could even say anything, Harvey kicked the young man out of the door before he derisively wi
Harvey York calmly glanced at Dylan Bowie and his lackeys.He knew that the people behind them were the same people who had Mac Bauer’s back.He did not mind teaching those people a lesson so they would humble themselves.“You b*stard!“How dare you?!“You hit me twice?!A mouthful of blood spurted out of Dylan’s mouth. He was chuckling out of unbridled rage.“You ignorant f*ck!”Dylan furiously pointed toward Harvey’s direction.“Kill him!” he exclaimed.“Go!”A dozen fighters from the Bowie family took off their jackets before charging at Harvey with tables and chairs in hand.Harvey walked forward without a care in the world.Slap slap slap!A series of slaps could be heard.In just a single moment, the fighters were all covering their faces as they were sent flying. As soon as they landed back on the ground, they were wailing in pain while all of them rolled all over the place.The trump cards Dylan would usually use to flaunt his strength were all taken down in jus
Harvey York then calmly strutted away with Aiden Bauer and Xynthia Zimmer.Dylan Bowie, whose face was completely swollen, was showing a wretched look on his face at this moment.When Harvey and the others were gone, he furiously jumped up and screamed, “That b*stard!“That goddamn b*stard!“How dare he go against me in Flutwell?!“Call for reinforcements!“Right now!“I’ll make him understand!”“I’ll let him realize that he has no right to go against a man of my status!“Remember! Get my uncle here as well!“Not only am I going to make him remember…“I want him behind bars for the rest of his life!“Surely he’ll regret offending me after that!”Dylan was gritting his teeth with a vile look on his face.He was not the greatest young master, but he had been ruling Flutwell’s entertainment industry for many years.At least eighty starlets had shared the same bed with him by then.A few years ago, an arrogant young master tried to fight him for a woman when he went to Wols
Aiden Bauer knew that Harvey York would not even bother for a nobody like Dylan Bowie.But, he knew that Joseph Bauer would be hard to deal with. That was why he decided to warn Harvey.In reality, Joseph alone would not mean anything either way.But the Bauer family, Longmen, and the Golden Palace that supported him were the most troublesome bunch.“It’s okay. If Joseph doesn’t show up here, we’ll just disregard it.“But, if he does turn up, I’ll just beat him up anyway.Then, Harvey patted Aiden’s shoulder.“You’ve been with me for a long while now, Aiden. You’ve made a lot of achievements.“But bear in mind, there’s only one rule you should follow when you’re with me.“As long as we’re being reasonable, we shouldn’t be scared of anyone!”Aiden nodded passionately. As expected of Sir York himself.Only he could make such arrogant remarks sound so sensible!Vroom!In just thirty minutes, dozens of top luxury cars were parked right in front of the mall’s parking lot.The
"Or maybe you're thinking that after working a little bit harder for a while, you'll be able to leave the country and live under the radar. Then, you can go to Country A and live the life you want? Your parents have already been sent over, right?"No matter what happens, Dan treats those who work for him well. But… There's something I don't understand. You're willing to leave your home permanently just because he treats you well? You're willing to give him your undying loyalty just like that? Is it worth it?" Harvey asked as he put his cup of latte down on the table with a curious expression.The ordinary young woman shuddered slightly before raising her head. She gave Harvey a look and said, "Are you talking to me, sir? Do we know each other?"Harvey smiled. "We don't, but I'm pretty sure you know me. Or should I say… It's exactly because you know me that you went to Country A and persuaded Royce to come to Wolsing. Whether it's the 150 million dollars given to Lilian or lying to X
The next day…What happened to Geraldton Hotel was being reported on the news. It was about how an underground criminal empire in Wolsing was being swept by the authorities. Harvey didn't expect things to go so out of hand. At the same time, he now knew that no matter what the Yates of Country A wanted to do, they wouldn't be able to make any moves in the short term after what happened.There was another rumor that Kyros alone had borne the brunt of the crimes for the Wright family. The Wrights of Wolsing had removed his name from the family and that was enough to settle things. They were also not part of the media report.It was easy for one to see that a compromise had been reached by all the factions involved. Otherwise, if the Wrights of Wolsing really wanted to get involved, no one could estimate how this would develop.Just as Harvey was reading the news, his phone buzzed. Yvonne's stern voice came from the other side. "Sir, I've managed to investigate everything clearly.
Just as Harvey was thinking about who was behind this, his phone suddenly started to buzz. He picked it up—there was only one message."Interesting," Harvey said with a deep smile as he read it. "It's George. After his investigation, the one leading the task force has a really clean background. However, when he was at university, he was fully sponsored by a charity fund belonging to the Jeans of Mordu."After his graduation, the speed he gets promoted is also much faster than his peers around the same age. No matter how I looked at it, someone had been giving him a boost. However, is this the result of Mandy going over to Purdue Mountain? It doesn't look like Zayden, as the patriarch of one of the top ten families, wants to calm things down…"Feels like he wants to make things even worse. How is this going to benefit the Jeans of Mordu?"Yvonne narrowed her eyes slightly. "At the very least," she said, "there are two ways they can benefit from this. Firstly, it's to clarify their
The next day.The estate in the third ring of Wolsing.Harvey had originally planned to go to Mordu at night when Mandy called him. She told him everything that happened in Geraldton Hotel had been settled. Zayden's side would make a move and demand a direct explanation from them for what happened.Harvey was quite shocked when he heard this.The leader of the Jeans of Mordu had been too discreet, so much so that this was the first time he heard about this name. But the problem was, Harvey didn't believe that the Jeans of Mordu who had been making things difficult for Mandy all this while would suddenly make a move without cause.However, Mandy kept on telling Harvey that everything was over. She would keep Xynthia in Mordu for a few more days. Once the dust had settled, she would then send Xynthia back to Wolsing.Hearing Mandy so confident with herself, Harvey decided not to say anything else. That being said, he still her Mandy that if anything happened, she must tell him imme
"In other words, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it," Zayden said. "As for the Ninth Branch, that's the fruit of your labor. At least, I don't see anyone has the right to replace you as the head. Unless you have made a very serious mistake, your status as the head of the Ninth Branch is guaranteed. Remember, never say something like giving up your spot as the head ever again."Top families like the Jeans of Mordu have their own rules. There are certain positions that can't be taken just because you wanted to, and there are those that you can't leave just as easily as well."Mandy was stunned after she heard Zayden's criticism of her. Then, she nodded. "Understood. Thank you for your lesson, sir. I will do everything I can in the service of the family."Mandy wasn't that surprised to see that Zayden was willing to make a personal appearance. Since Kyros didn't show any respect to the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden needed to make a show of force once things reached thi
After about half an hour, Mandy finally saw figures appearing at the entrance. She grew a little uneasy. She put down the phone that she was using to work, and stood up."Ms. Mandy, Mr. Zayden is now ready to see you." Ms. Judd smiled and signaled Mandy to come with her. The estate might look quite small, but in actual fact, the entire land surrounding it was considered part of the estate. Without someone leading the way, no one could find their destination.Very quickly, Ms. Judd took Mandy to the Storm Pavilion in the garden. This place was quite warm, and it made Mandy feel quite relaxed. In the middle of the pavilion was a table with several plated snacks. They were all things that could be found in the countryside, like peanuts and carrots. Other than that, there was a bowl of barley.A man around fifty years of age was just getting ready to eat when he raised his head and smiled at Mandy. "Why are you here, Mandy? Aren't you supposed to be in Wolsing handling the Ninth Bra
Purdue Mountain, Mordu.A brand new Mercedes-Maybach drove into an ancient estate on the hill of the mountain. As it was close to the ocean and the temperature quickly dropped during the fall season, other than some coldness from late autumn, the estate also carried a certain frigidity.Mandy got out of the car wearing a thin jacket, looking at the ancient structures within the estate. Some of them were centuries old, and no one could tell how long they had existed. However, the buildings looked like they were newly constructed. The Jeans of Mordu would renovate and repair the buildings once every three months, as well as install the newest technology.Just that alone was evidence of how important this place was for the Jeans of Mordu. The truth was that this was the residence of the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden. He had been extremely discreet these past years.Normally, the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu would stay here. All his words and actions would decide the ent
"You…" Royce gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Harvey. However, he knew that Harvey did this intentionally to take revenge against them, giving him a so-called choice. Harvey did it to completely humiliate both him and Kyros.Harvey also wanted to use this matter to create a crack in the Wright of Wolsing and the Yates of Country A's relationship during their honeymoon period. The problem was, Royce didn't have a choice. If Harvey truly decided to do whatever he wanted, then both he and Kyros would be in deep trouble.Royce gritted his teeth for a long time before finally slowly bending his knee and said, "I'm sorry…"Harvey immediately raised his foot and kicked Royce to the floor. "I know you're not sincere in your apologies, but I'll still accept it with mercy. But remember—if you want to do something in the future, do it for me. If you do anything to the people close to me again, even your gods can't protect you."And then, Harvey grabbed Xynthia's hand and left. H
As the leader of the top ten families, the Wrights of Wolsing had their own duties and responsibilities. They needed to maintain the high and mighty image of the top families in the hearts of the commoners.Once this was fully exposed, perhaps the people from the precinct and Dragon Cell wouldn't take any action against the Wright family, but Emery might personally eliminate him in the name of justice to protect the family's reputation.Since Emery hadn't truly become the leader of the family yet, Sienna was still present to challenge him.If Harvey really decided to reveal this without a care, then Sienna would use this chance to make things worse for Emery. Especially during an inner struggle, a microscale change can sometimes cause a big enough change.Of course, the most important part of this was that Kyros worried this would really affect Emery's ascension. That was more important than Harvey's wanton actions.Even Royce's expression also became pale. It was true that he was
