There was a hint of rage in Freddy’s eyes; as a Kshatriya, he had never been disrespected like this in his entire life.But since he was still quite the capable man, he took a deep breath to calm himself. The emotion on his face completely dissipated afterwards.He wanted to trample on the man who dared to cross him…But he knew he didn’t have to do it himself.After all, the John family was the Overlord Gang’s honored guests. Compared to Freddy’s rage, Dahlia must’ve been way more embarrassed.The John family was on the upswing as well; there was no way they could take such disrespect.It would be bad if the situation ruined the family’s reputation completely.After calming down, Freddy put on a small smile.“Interesting. That’s normal, anyway.”“The Celestial Temple has no background in Country H. It’s only natural that they look down on us.”“If that wasn’t the case, Eli and his father wouldn’t be forced to kneel in front of the hospital a few days ago.”“This country sur
Upon hearing Dahlia’s orders, one of her subordinates, named Pork Wing, took the badge with a wretched grin.Pork Wing was one of the members of the well-known Safflower Fighters. It’s said that nobody could stand in his way when he wielded his steel pipe. He had killed quite a lot of so-called experts in his day.Flutwell’s Gang of Six had tried to buy him off for a high price…But he stayed with Dahlia.He had been fighting for her sake for the past few years, and had made quite an achievement for himself.Because of this, Dahlia’s status in the family was steadily rising.Pork Wing had rarely fought since then.After all, anyone would be terrified by Dahlia’s golden badge alone.And after all that smooth sailing, Pork Wing thought he had become quite the prominent figure.He believed that he was invincible, and that he could kill whoever he wanted.Simply put, he was just a servant who was infatuated with his master’s power!Pork Wing had a bossy look on his face as he he
Harvey’s emotions remained the same as he squinted at the sight in front of him.“Right. Since you’re just someone else’s servant, let’s just cut right to the chase.”“What do you want?”Pork Wing boiled with unbridled rage.“This is Lady John’s badge, kid! She wants you to break your own arms and send the woman to Young Master Garcia, and then kneel in front of our box for ten minutes! She’ll let you off the hook after that!”“Remember! She gave you a chance since we’re in the same country!”“You better cherish it!”“If you decline, you won’t be the only one getting it!”“Your family, friends, and everyone supporting you will all pay a huge price!”Naturally, Pork Wing mistook Harvey as a young master with a strong background after seeing Harvey act all high and mighty.He even took the badge out with an arrogant look on his face.Themen in suits behind him raised their heads pridefully, patiently waiting for Harvey to beg for mercy.After all, this was the John family’s b
“Dahlia John?”Harvey finally glanced at the badge, his face calm.“Is she flaunting her wealth in front of my face now?”“I don’t need any money, though.”“Go back and tell her that this won’t be enough to command me.”“It’s not enough to phase me, either.”Pork Wing grunted and held his nose, and then took a few steps back.“How are you this calm against the John family?!” he screamed in anger.“Who the hell are you?!”“Give me your name!”Harvey remained calm and collected.“Me? I’m just a live-in son-in-law.”“I have no other hobbies except dishing out justice.”“I don’t care who you are, kid! I’m going to cripple you for injuring me!”Pork Wing was filled with unbridled rage upon hearing that Harvey was just some live-in son-in-law.He then screamed at the men in suits, saying, “Go! Get him now!”The men from the Overlord Gang and the John family pulled out their weapons and rushed toward Harvey with great ferocity.Bam, bam, bam!Rachel narrowed her eyes and too
Pork Wing pulled out his phone and dialed a number…A cold tone could be heard from the other side.“Pork Wing? Why are you still not back yet?”Pork Wing trembled when he met Harvey’s eyes.“I’m no match for this man, Lady John.”“He said that your badge won’t hold him!”“I’m completely beaten!”After a moment of dead silence, Dahlia said calmly, “I thought I won’t have much to do tonight.”“Looks like someone here’s bringing me some fun.”“Clear out the place.”“We’ll play if he wants to play.”…Ten minutes later, every single customer of the bar was chased out.People from the Overlord Gang showed up soon after, completely surrounding the entire place.Even the streets were filled with tall and strong men.The warm mood inside the bar was replaced by a cold and distant feeling.The sound of high heels clacking steadily could be heard reverberating around the bar, and a hint of murderous intent was felt.When Harvey told someone to get him more tea, the door was kic
“Not bad. You’re pretty interesting.”Dahlia showed a beautiful faint smile upon seeing Harvey’s bossy look.She squinted her long and narrow eyes as she sized up Harvey.“So you’re saying you’re crossing me?”“That you want to go against me?”Naturally, the woman was quite arrogant, thinking that she had a higher status compared to everyone else in her family.“Go against you?”Harvey calmly picked up his teacup.“You have no right to that.”“I have no right?”Dahlia froze. Then, she burst into angry laughter. “Impressive! Really impressive.”“It’s been a while since I’ve seen someone like this!”“How dare you act so high and mighty in front of me?”“Have you thought about it?”“Have you considered it?”“Just how dire of a consequence it’d be if you say things like this?!”“Right. Just so you know, the entire bar was cleared out.”“There are a total of fifty experts from the John family and a hundred more from the Overlord Gang.”“Of course, we have someone from th
Footsteps could be heard from outside. Sienna walked in, her face pale. A lot of people who seemed like her bodyguards followed behind her. They were all glaring down at every single one of Dahlia’s subordinates.Freddy’s eyes lit up as soon as Sienna showed up.“I knew you wouldn’t leave me, baby! I ate three whole pills just for you! You’ll have a lot of fun tonight…”Slap!Sienna instantly slapped Freddy across the face before he could even finish his sentence. He couldn’t help but stumble backwards.He didn’t fight back. All he did was touch his cheek, a mystified look on his face.Upon closer inspection, Freddy’s breathing had grown even more rapid; as if he couldn’t wait any longer.Dahlia sized up Sienna for a moment.“So you’re Colton Torres’s goddaughter?” she asked after a brief moment of hesitation. This identity was used outside of Flutwell.If everyone knew that Sienna was actually the princess of the Wright family, a lot of people would be eyeing her.Even s
Dahlia knew Sienna had an extraordinary background…But she had no intention of giving up.After all, outsiders were no match against local powerhouses.The Torres family seemed to have a strong background to the rest, but they were nothing to the John family.After all, Colton lost against the head of the Golden Palace when they fought for the throne before. He was getting close to his death as well because of his past injury.Dahlia wasn’t about to be apologetic.She only felt that she would gain nothing by escalating the situation further, just because of a woman with a bit of authority. Freddy wasn’t showing any fear either; all he did was look at Sienna perversely.Naturally, he was still quite interested in her.Harvey could see an elderly person in a black robe standing behind Freddy. The person seemed quite inconspicuous, but it was clear that this was no one ordinary. Most likely, it was a Yoga expert from India.“I don’t need your apology.”“Nor do I need your mo
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
