Bright red palm prints could be seen on Jose Williams’ cheeks.His entire body trembled uncontrollably. He wanted to shoot Harvey York down so badly.“I’m sorry, Sir York!” he exclaimed.He had no other choice at this moment.He could not even compare himself to Ansel Torres!How would he even go against Harvey in a place like this?“Come.”Harvey hooked his finger in front of Jose. He had no intention of letting him go.“Tell me. How much does Paula pay you every month?”Jose trembled.“A… A thousand and four hundred dollars…”Slap!Harvey slapped Jose in the face once again.“Are you really that cheap?!“She bought you off for that spare change?!“A thousand and four hundred dollars?!“You’re embarrassing the entire police force!”Slap slap slap!Harvey slapped Jose around a couple more times.“You even dare talk to me about the law when you’re out here taking bribes?“Come! Please tell me what the law means to you!“Come on!”Jose tilted his head down while his
Reina Lee and the others were thrilled after seeing the man’s appearance.“Young Master Torres!” they screamed.The man raised Reina’s chin before kicking Jose Williams to the ground.“Useless filth! You have no right even to serve me!”Jose felt ashamed.He had been taking advantage of people wherever he went. A thousand and four hundred dollars would also go into his pocket every month.But he was utterly useless when he was the most needed. He had no power to go against anyone.Though, he did not leave immediately. He went to the side to see which side was stronger. That way, he would have an idea of who to join.“Let me tell you something, b*stard! Young Master Torres here is Elder Torres’ nephew!“He’s also Ansel Torres and Nelson Torres’ cousin!“Brady Torres himself!Paula felt extremely confident after seeing her greatest support here.She pointed at Harvey with her nose before she coldly scoffed.“Young Master Torres is also the biggest shareholder of the Fraterni
Harvey York smiled.“Don’t worry! They’re just a bunch of clowns!”Xynthia Zimmer could not help but frown. She felt that Harvey had gone a little too far with the insult.But she did not say another word out of her respect for him.“You call us clowns?!”“Who gave you the courage to say that?!”“Do you know who we are?!”“We’re not up to standards in the upper social circle, but we’re all relatives of the government here!”“We can squash outsiders like you with one finger!”“Where did you get the courage to call us clowns?!”The group of people was glaring at Harvey with disdainful smirks on their faces.“You’re dead, kid! It’s nothing if you go against Director Baker here, but you won’t be getting out of here unscathed for making fun of us like that!”“Oh! These ladies look pretty fine! I should play with them later! It’ll be a waste if I don’t!”The rich playboys were chuckling coldly while looking at Harvey, as if he was a lamb to the slaughter.The beautiful female c
“I’ve seen quite a lot of arrogant people in my life…”“But it’s my first time seeing someone who actually dared to challenge me!”Brady Torres showed a frivolous smile as he glared at Harvey York.He even gave Harvey a thumbs-up.“I don’t know whose young master you are…“I don’t know what family you’re from…“But I can tell you that I have total authority over the entirety of Flutwell!“You will kneel before me!“No matter who you are!“I don’t have time to play with you!“Break every single one of your limbs!“Leave the ladies with me for three whole days!“I’ll let you off the hook after that!“If you’re not happy with this arrangement, I’ll give you half an hour to call whoever you like!“If you manage to scare me off, I’ll kneel and start calling you ‘Daddy’!“But if not, then you’ll have to break your limbs!“Do you understand me?!”Brady casually lit up a cigar while he talked in an arrogant tone.It was as if Flutwell was under him…And he was the one true k
“Aaah!”Horrible screams of pain could be heard.Brady Torres held his leg while constantly twitching on the ground.Paula Baker and the others constantly ridiculing Harvey York were all completely stunned.They could not imagine Harvey being this dominant to step on Brady’s leg when he was clearly much more powerful.They heard Harvey’s phone call, but none knew that Ansel Torres, Flutwell Police Station’s first-in-command was on the other side of the call.Brady’s companions were all enraged at this moment.They were untouchable in Flutwell. They would always be the ones taking advantage of people.Nobody dared to go against them!What a joke this was!A dozen bodyguards stepped forward, prepared to destroy Harvey and everyone he held dear.Harvey completely ignored them and calmly glanced at Brady.“Are you going to bring your people and leave?“Or are you waiting for me to break your legs before you do?”Harvey’s words were calm and collected.But a dominating aura c
Brady Torres waved at his companions, signaling them to stop doing anything rash.He then sat up straight and looked at Harvey York with a miserable look.“Sir York…“I’m sorry. I was wrong…“I didn’t know who you were…”‘He apologized?’‘Young Master Torres himself?’Paula Baker and the others almost stumbled to the ground after seeing Brady sincerely apologizing while his face had completely lost all color.They were shocked. They did not expect that someone like that would actually lower his head in front of Harvey.Was the loser before them was actually capable after all?A single phone call was able to suppress a powerful man like Brady?Paula, who thought her support was as tough as nails, felt a little sluggish. She suddenly had a bad feeling about the entire situation.“Do you understand now?Harvey showed a calm look on his face when he stared at Brady.“But it’s just not enough.”Brady showed a horrible smile on his face after feeling Harvey’s gaze.“I’ll show
Harvey York called Kayden Balmer and the others here as soon as possible.With Kayden’s order, the group of people from the Hatchet Gang called for an ambulance before carefully getting Mandy Zimmer inside.Harvey let out a sigh of relief when Mandy and the others were sent off.Kayden then walked beside Harvey before he tilted his head down.“I have information, Sir York.“The people who did this to Mandy is one of the Gang of Six, the Bharata Gang.“Obviously, the Bharata Business Council is behind this.“It will be a little hard if we’re going after them.”“Hard?” asked Harvey.“Since you’re with me now, you should know that there’s no such thing.“We can’t just solve the problem by dealing with a few people…“Since they’re coming for me, I don’t mind erasing their gang from existence.Harvey patted Kayden’s shoulder.“Get ready to take over their gang.”“I’ll do whatever you say!”Kayden felt exhilarated after hearing Harvey’s words.He had been a part of the Gang o
“In any case, Aaron Garcia isn’t just an ordinary man. You need to be careful, Sir York.”“Didn’t the government go after the Bharata Gang for opening gambling businesses like these?” asked Harvey York.“They did a few times but managed to deal with the situation unscathed.”Kayden Balmer hesitated.“Besides, the Bharata Business Council would always show up and pull their diplomatic immunity card.“That was why the government couldn’t do anything.“The people from the Bharata Business Council had been doing quite a lot of business with people in Flutwell’s upper social circle for the past few years. That’s why the Bharata Gang had been so dominant lately…”Harvey let out a chuckle.“Their connections alone are able to scare off the government?“The Bauer family?“I heard that the vice chairman of the Bharata Business Council and Joseph Bauer are sworn brothers…”Harvey showed a cold gaze after hearing those words.If that were really the case, then Eli Burton’s attempt to
After Harvey had easily defeated Shouta and the great priest, he ignored the others and turned to look at Yvonne. He gave her a faint smile and said, "I'm sorry, Yvonne. I should have come here soon."Yvonne was somewhat stunned. She couldn't even control herself as she rubbed her eyes, thinking that she might be dreaming. In the next second, she immediately jumped into Harvey's arms. Harvey was stunned a little, but after some hesitation, extended his hand to pat her back. "It's fine. I'm here."Their actions, while simple, looked like some kind of TV drama in a place and situation like this.All the Islanders could only watch. Today was the wedding of the century! They didn't expect someone from Country H to cause a ruckus. Not only was Harvey humiliating Shingen, but he was also making Shingen's to-be wife cheat in front of his eyes!Shingen, who was supposed to be furious, was not angry at all. Instead, he simply looked at this scene with a dry smile. Today's events were beyo
Shouta had no choice but to unsheath the shortsword on his belt. He crossed the longsword and shortsword with each other and attempted to retaliate against Harvey using his twin-sword style. It was obvious that when there was nowhere for him to run, he hoped that he could force Harvey back using that. Even if he couldn't, he could at least deal damage to Harvey, couldn't he?Unfortunately, reality was much crueler than what Shouta had envisioned. He overestimated his power and underestimated Harvey's ability. Before the two blades could even reach Harvey, Harvey's palm had already fallen on his face.There was a loud slap, and Shouta's right cheek instantly became swollen as if a truck had rammed into his face. Even when he had secretly learned from Country H the way to absorb the force of an attack, he was in so much pain that he almost cried.When Shouta saw that Harvey was going to press on the assault, he instinctively took a few more steps back. Realizing this, he was filled
The blood-red coffin parted Yvonne and Shingen on two sides of the stage. Everyone could only watch, mouths agape and eyes wide.This was Yvonne and Shingen's wedding! Who would be so bold as to kick up a storm here?A slender figure appeared on the red coffin and smiled at Yvonne. Then, he immediately approached Shingen and slammed his palm downward. It looked like it had no power, but in Shingen's eyes, the palm kept approaching as if it would cover his entire vision.Shingen narrowed his eyes, wanting to fight back. Shouta had already rushed over and yelled, "Today's your wedding! It'll be bad for you to spill blood! Allow me to help you. Who are you? How dare you interrupt Master Shingen's wedding!"Shouta had already unsheathed the longsword in his belt and slashed at the figure in front of him.Swish!There was a loud noise. As the two sides clashed, sparks appeared mid-air. There was a screeching sound, and a lot of people felt their eardrums almost shatter. While Shou
"Thank you, everyone, for attending the wedding of the century. Thank you for coming all the way here, no matter where you're from," a great priest from the Church of the Western Court said, looking at everyone with gentle eyes as he held a tome in his hand."Today is the wedding of Mr. Shingen Tokugawa from the Island Nation and Ms. Yvonne Xavier from Country H. From today onward, they will become a family. From today onward, they shall take the vow of marriage, and everyone here in this wedding will be their witness."Now, Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, Ms. Yvonne Xavier. We shall start with the first step."The great priest looked at Shingen, then brushed his hand at the golden debit card he had just received. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, I stand here as a representative of the gods to ask you one question. Are you willing to take Ms. Yvonne Xavier as your wife? In sickness and health, in good times and in bad, to love her and honor her all the days of her life?"Many
After they had finished paying attention to Jesse, some started watching Yvonne. Initially, they all thought that Yvonne could not possibly be some kind of beauty.But after giving her a few looks, many of the men started to have lustful expressions. That was because, as pale as Yvonne was, her beauty was not something the Islanders had ever witnessed.No matter which of the island's famous beauties, they could not compare themselves to Yvonne. Some of the women who wanted to compare themselves to Yvonne gave up. That was because they clearly knew that they could not hold the candle to Yvonne.Shingen was satisfied with his inflated ego when he saw the men's jealousy and the women's humble expressions.At the same time, he stood there with his hands behind his back, as if he was an emperor looking down on his subjects.Clang… Clang… Clang…When Yvonne and her entourage arrived at the stage, the bell had been struck seven times.The most fortuitous hour had arrived.The expensiv
When the guests saw the staff working, they knew the newlywed should be arriving soon.They were right. As the helicopter the Island Nation's TV crew rented soared through the sky, Hotel Hope's entrance appeared on screen. The 52 Toyota Centuries decorated with flowers slowly drove over. All the cars were covered with red roses and fresh flowers, making others feel romantic.The real time for the wedding was 6.50 p.m.It was said that this was the hour that the groom, Shingen, chose himself. He believed that this was the luckiest time for him.As the time drew closer, so did the crowd.Most of the people from the crowd were from the Island Nation, while only a handful were people from Country H who had the right to observe the wedding. They had already been allied with the Islanders a long time ago.Not far from the embassy, one could see the cars used by the Wolsing's precinct coming in and out. The staff inside the car would observe the wedding with their binoculars, but their
Evening. Six o'clock. The sun was already setting. It was the most beautiful hour of the day, and it was also the most fortuitous hour of the day.However, an iciness slowly expanded from the Island Nation embassy in Wolsing's countryside, next to Lake Dove.According to international law, the area where the embassy was belonged to the Islanders. Which meant this area, including Lake Dove, was territory belonging to the Island Nation. This land followed the law of the Island Nations, and the ones protecting the land were their nations.After working hard for decades, the Islanders finally acquired such a good piece of land, which was a rare opportunity for them.Today was also a day that was worth remembering for the Island Nation's Shinto Way.How attractive it was for someone from the Shinto Way, one of the Island Nation's Six Schools of Martial Arts, to marry someone from Xavier of Wolsing, one of Country H's Top Ten Families.That was why the Island Nation's five other sc
Yvonne's expression was cold as she said nothing. Shingen could feel his anger building up when he saw how Yvonne refused to say anything, as if she were not afraid.He immediately pushed Jesse away, who wanted to stop him. He walked over and grabbed Yvonne by the throat. "Do you think you can act arrogantly just because Jesse is protecting you and I need to show your family respect? I'm warning you. After today, that sorry excuse of a man you love will have his fate decided!"I will turn his head into a decoration and put it right on our bedside table! I will make sure he watches us sleep together forever!"Shingen let go of his hand when he said that, then turned to look at Jesse with a dark expression. "It's getting late. Make sure she looks pretty, and get her into the bridal car! If you missed the time, then the entire wedding is off!"After that, Shingen gave a cold snort and left with his men. It was obvious that not only did he want to conquer Yvonne, but he was going to us
Yvonne did not even raise her eyes, as if an air of death surrounded her. It was as if everything she did today was just to complete a mission. And once that mission was done, her existence would be meaningless after that.Slap!When Shingen saw that Yvonne was like a marionette, his arrogant smile became cold and furious. He immediately slapped her on the face with an open palm.Yvonne said nothing but could not control herself and fell to the ground because of the force. Even her forehead was bleeding a little from the hit."Do you think you can avoid this by pretending to be deaf? Or do you think you can die once you've married into the Tokugawa family after the wedding is complete, and the Tokugawa family's and Xavier family's cooperation is complete?" Shingen said with a smirk."It's useless. If you obey me, then it's fine. If you don't, then I'll simply feed you the special Bonerust Powder that the Shinto Way makes. Forget about trying to commit suicide; you won't even have
