Ozzy waved his hand arrogantly to get the higher-ups and shareholders out of the room.“Hold it,” Harvey said.Ozzy changed his expression and hollered angrily, “What else do you want?”“Kneel and apologize,” Harvey replied.“You don’t have to do it, but if you don’t, I’ll break every single one of your limbs and feed you to the dogs.”Since Ozzy had to threaten Harvey before he left, it was only natural for Harvey to teach Ozzy a lesson, in case he didn’t know who was calling the shots.Ozzy was infuriated; he glared at Harvey furiously. But at the thought of going against Harvey, he managed to reel in his anger. After a whole minute, he let out a forced smile and slammed his knees to the ground.“I’m sorry, Sir York. I was wrong!”“Please! Pretend this never happened!”He even slapped himself on the face a few times before standing back up and leaving immediately after.Yet at that very moment, he was already formulating a plan to exact his revenge!He wanted Harvey dead
While Rachel was still handling the affairs involving Hearthstone Corporation, Harvey was sitting in the CEO’s office drinking tea as he planned his next step.Mandy’s problems would be dealt with soon, so there was no need to worry about that.Harvey would need to pay close attention to Joseph, though.After all, the thirteenth young master was said to be one of three successors of the Bauer family. Harvey couldn’t underestimate such a man.Harvey turned on the TV to catch up on Flutwell’s news while he pondered the current situation.He remained nonchalant until he saw the first news.“At nine o’clock in the evening, the Longmen’s Law Enforcement will be hosting a private martial arts tournament…”“It’s said that the current head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement hasn’t shown himself just yet, and the vice head, Ezra, was badly injured recently.”“Thus, the elders of Longmen’s Law Enforcement decided to pick a new head through the tournament.”“Many disciples are ecstatic to take
Harvey pulled out his phone and turned on the news app.The headline was naturally the same as the one shown on TV.Rachel gasped; she didn’t expect Joseph would think that far ahead about the private martial arts tournament.“You’ve never met Joseph, have you?”“Why is he going so far to deal with you?”Harvey took a sip of his Black Tea.“He’s quite the sinister man.”“I’ve been on his kill list as soon as I became the head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement…”“The thirteenth young master’s trying to use this chance to force himself on the throne.”“And my existence is an obstacle to his goal.”“Me ruining his future is almost as bad as murdering his entire family.”“It’s only natural for him to go against me.”Rachel frowned.“If that’s the case, his biggest competitors should be Jeff and Harold Bauer instead!”“Jeff has the Elder Group behind his back. Out of thirty-six branch leaders of Longmen, half of them are supporting his rise to power as well,” Harvey calmly replied.
Vroom!At nine o’clock in the evening, a Maybach showed up in front of Longmen’s Law Enforcement mansion.The mansion was heavily guarded. A hundred experienced disciples of the Law Enforcement were dispatched to survey the entire mansion and carefully check everyone’s identities.Other than preventing outsiders from going inside, they also wanted to make sure that nobody would be able to bring in firearms in order to prevent any bloodshed.Harvey walked past the front door, with Rachel accompanying him.When she showed the Longmen’s Law Enforcement Badge, the disciples willingly let them pass.After going past a few checkpoints and walking in such a massive mansion for several minutes, Harvey could hear faint screaming, clapping, and whistling echoing not far away.The clamoring alone was enough to get people riled up for the tournament.Soon, Harvey saw a big bronze door with eighteen disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement with weapons standing on guard. They were all on high
After pondering the situation for a moment, Harvey looked at the VIP area in front of him.A row of people was seated there.There were a few elderly people sitting on the side. All of them seemed extremely high and mighty at first glance. They were probably the elders of Longmen’s Law Enforcement.If Harvey guessed correctly, at least half of them were already bought off by Joseph.If not, they wouldn’t have shown up at the tournament in the first place.Joseph was nowhere to be seen. Ezra, who was already crippled, took his place at the centermost seat instead.Behind Ezra were several tall and strong people standing with their heads raised up high.Harvey glanced at them. He could only recognize Lydia.She was slapped in the face and thoroughly humiliated when she had showed up at Hatchet Gang’s base camp.However, she managed to regain her calm that night. Along with her exquisite makeup and her gown that revealed her pale and slender legs, she looked extremely attractive.
After hearing that Harvey called himself the head of Law Enforcement, the people behind Lydia scoffed.In the same group, a woman with short hair who was dressed in Chanel brand from head to toe and sporting an Omega Constellation watch glared icily at Harvey. She clenched her hand and laughed arrogantly. “Let’s stop wasting time on a man like him, Lydia!”“People like him think they’re on top of the world the moment they get praised!”“Look, he’s even thinking of joining the martial arts tournament!”“He thinks he can become the head of Law Enforcement and make everyone serve him!”“He's trying to be an elite of Flutwell!”She glared at Harvey again, her face disdainful.“Someone like him can never do anything responsibly!”“So why even waste time on him?”“I don’t care if he gets in the ring or not, but I know he’ll be beaten to death as soon as he steps inside!”“Forget it. A man like him won’t actually do what he says,” a man with short hair added with a gloomy tone.
Slap!Right at this moment, Rachel, who had kept herself quiet for the longest time, swung the back of her hand across Lydia’s face and slapped the latter hard.“Say that one more time! I dare you.”“You…”Lydia was terrified of Rachel.She was slapped in the face, but she didn’t dare fight back either. All she could do was cover her face as she stumbled back in fear.“Why don’t you get in the damn ring and hide behind this woman as well, Harvey?!” she exclaimed.“Let’s see how a kept man like you gets the crowd’s respect!”Harvey couldn’t be bothered to entertain Lydia any longer, so he casually walked forward without a care in the world.“Ignore him, Lydia!”“He thinks he can show off in Flutwell just because he’s being kept by a powerful woman!”“What a joke!”“Well, he’ll know what it means to go against someone way out of his league tonight!” the short-haired woman from before exclaimed with a disdainful look.She dragged Lydia back as quickly as she could; she was af
The champion calmly hooked his finger at Davian, taunting the latter.His cold and confident attitude had everyone completely shocked.The women who were huge fans of Davian started to look at the champion with infatuated gazes.Davian, who looked like an inexperienced fighter, trembled as he clutched the sword in his hand. His murderous intent was blatantly apparent.“Go ahead, Davian!”The champion then took a step forward. Suddenly, a loud bang could be heard.A spherical wave of air formed in the ring and blasted forward.The judge was a pretty good fighter himself, but he was on the verge of passing out as soon as he got hit by the airwave.Lydia and the others, who were acting high and mighty before, were all scared witless by what had just happened. The color on their faces vanished completely.They didn’t think a true expert would be this terrifying.Even Ezra couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He didn’t expect the champion to hide his true strength so well.If it we
