Diana slowly took off her sunglasses, revealing her seductive eyes.But a distant look could be seen on her face and she glared at Harvey.The fact that she came all the way here made it seem like she was afraid that Xynthia wouldn’t join the banquet.Upon realizing that, a profound smile made its way to Harvey;s lips.“I invited you to the banquet for our sake, Xynthia.”“How can you be so rude?”Diana’s expression worsened when she saw Xynthia tugging on Harvey’s arm all lovey-dovey-like.“If Young Master Burton knows that you’re bringing an outsider with you…”“He’ll be upset!”“There’ll be consequences, you know!”‘Young Master Burton?’Harvey looked at Diana after hearing that name, curious.He realized that Xynthia wanted him to tag along so he could be her shield.However, he wasn’t angry about it.Ansel told him that the people from India were most likely involved in the situation that got him framed.Though it seemed like they were only going after Xynthia, Harv
Not only was Eli a tall and handsome man, but Diana could also feel a special aura out of him. She knew that Eli was an elite at first glance.Eli’s family was also considered to be quite wealthy back in India. The family specialized in making generic drugs. Eli became a true top talent by following in his family’s footsteps.It’s said that with Eli’s strength and skill set, he would’ve had way better achievements if it weren’t for the caste system restricting him.Even Frankie looked up to Eli.Frankie was the vice chairman of the Bharata Business Council.A man like that looking up to Eli was enough to prove a lot of things.In any case, Harvey was nothing compared to Eli. Eli was in another league!Diana believed that Harvey had no right to get close to Eli, no matter how impressive Harvey actually was.But after seeing Xynthia so determined to follow Harvey wherever he went, she had no choice but to bring the both of them along.“Let’s get in, Brother-In-Law.”Xynthia fel
“I brought Xynthia here for her to see a young master from India!”“Auntie Yates agreed to this too!”“You showing up here will make the young master extremely unhappy!”Diana’s face was harsh.“You shouldn’t be here!”“Here’s fifteen dollars! Get yourself a cab and some food!”“Just treat this as a freebie!”Diana then pulled the money out of her purse and flailed it around arrogantly.Harvey’s eyes turned cold. He was about to shove the money right into the annoying woman’s mouth when he was interrupted.Xynthia came out soon after, preventing him from doing so.“You’re still not coming in, Harvey?”She held onto Harvey’s arm, afraid that he would flee the place once he had the chance.“Harvey said he’s feeling unwell, and that he’s just about to leave.”Diana thought that Harvey was scared when she saw that he didn’t react to her threats. She then pulled out some more cash and threw it at Harvey.“Is fifteen dollars not enough for you?”“Here’s a hundred and forty d
Diana smiled sweetly, as if she was ready to lay right on top of Eli.“I’m so sorry for ruining your fun by being this late, Young Master Burton.”“Heh, heh, heh! What are you saying, Diana?”“It’s my honor to have you here!”“It doesn’t matter if you’re a little late.”Eli took a sip of his champagne before his burning gaze fell on Xynthia.“And this must be Xynthia, right?”“Right. That’s her,” Diana replied.“Xynthia Zimmer of the Jean family’s ninth branch.”“Other than being extremely well-known on the internet, she’s also a university student! She’s as pure and innocent as a child!”“You’ll be having fun tonight, Young Master Burton.”“I see. It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Zimmer.”Eli happily reached out his hand, a determined look on his face.“I’m Eli Burton. I come from a family of Vaishyas.”“You might not understand the caste system in my country. Let me explain…”“Us Vaishyas are born to be businessmen and have immense wealth. You should be able to understand no
“Oh?”“Ex-Husband?”“A shield?”“I see. Interesting!”Eli looked as if he realized something. He looked at Harvey with narrowed eyes filled with disdain.“It’s good to use your brain more frequently.”“A gentleman knows when to quit, after all.”“I’m warning you: don’t try to be a hero.”“If not, a low-class human like you will die a horrible death.”Eli’s calm words were filled with harsh threats.Xynthia was glued to Harvey’s arm, making Eli extremely jealous.“Harvey’s my boyfriend!” Xynthia exclaimed determinedly.“Stop insulting him already!”The crowd burst out laughing.A woman from a big family and a kept man…They were from completely different worlds, but Xytnhia kept saying that they were together.Who would believe her?“Stop making such a lame joke, Xynthia.”Eli chuckled disdainfully.“How could you lower yourself to his class?”“He has no right to be with a goddess like you. Right, everyone?”The crowd laughed again at Eli’s words.‘A worthless man
The crowd was shocked after hearing Harvey York’s words.They did not believe an outstanding woman like Xynthia Zimmer would be with such a worthless man.Harvey chuckled, as if he was planning to take things a step further to prove himself.“I know that you people don’t believe me. If that’s the case, I definitely can do more!”Harvey hugged Xynthia’s waist and gave her another kiss.This time, he did not actually touch Xynthia’s lips. He was stage-kissing, just like in the movies.To the others watching, the pair seemed to be having a passionate moment with each other, but in reality, they only touched cheeks.But even so, this display was quite shocking.Xynthia was about to pass out.She would never be able to explain the situation if her mother and sister knew about this.She knew full well just how Lilian Yates would react.She would never allow her daughters to be with some worthless b*stard…Let alone Harvey.“You’re insane, you b*stard!“You people from Country H
“You hear that, kid?! Ms. Zimmer doesn’t need you to take care of her!“Listen to me! As India’s Vaishya, even though I don’t have that high of status, my family still has hundreds and millions of dollars!“But I still think I wouldn’t be able to care for Ms. Zimmer.The young man with a buzz cut showed a playful look on his face after seeing Harvey York’s confident expression.“Since you talk so big, you must have at least that kind of money, right?“I wonder which top family you’re from! Maybe from one of the five hidden families?“Tell us already! Make us scared! We won’t stop you from having your freedom after that!”The crowd was showing a disdainful gaze.Naturally, everyone could tell that the young man was just mocking Harvey.But that was normal anyway. How could a mere kept man have that much money in the first place?If he actually had that much money, then why would he be someone’s kept man in the first place?Why would he be kicked out of the family?“Hundreds
“Of course! I understand!”The young man showed a respectful look as he bowed incessantly.“Please forgive me if I did anything wrong, Sir York!“Don’t drown me in your target income!“I’m so scared!“All of my property is only worth a dozen of your target incomes!”Bohdi was showing a scared look when he respectfully bowed in front of Harvey York, making the crowd laugh.Harvey became a clown in the beautiful women’s eyes.“A man like you must be Flutwell’s best, Sir York!Eli Burton chuckled while the gold chain dangled on his neck.“I came here to build a pharmaceutical base and produce some of the most needed medicine internationally!”“I was planning to ask the bank for a loan of a few hundred million dollars, but I think it’s better if I just ask you for that instead of praying to the gods!“If you’re willing to invest in us, I guarantee you can get back the ROI in a year!“Your investment will even triple in size in just ten years!“How’s that sound?“Are you inte
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
