An hour later. In the side hall of the John family’s manor, a handsome-looking man in a suit kicked Butler John ruthlessly to the ground.“Did Ansel really say that?”“Who gave him the courage?!”“Does he think he can do whatever he wants here just because he can fight?”“Did he forget that my uncle crippled his father with just a single move?!”“Does he think he can control the John family just because he’s the director of the Flutwell Police Station?!”“Ignorant fool!”The handsome man revealed an extremely cold expression.He was none other than the young master of the family, Elliot John!Dahlia was his sister.After hearing about the incident last night, Elliot had already planned to deal with the situation for his sister and reclaim the family’s dignity in the process. He didn’t care who was in the wrong at all.And so, he ordered the Northsea Tigers to take action. With Butler John, who had always done his job flawlessly accompanying them, Elliot thought it would be e
An elderly man in his fifties walked forward with crossed arms.The man was the head of the John family, Gavin John.He was Elliot’s father, and also the brother of the Golden Palace’s top talent.“Ansel means nothing.”“Even if he’s a God of War, he’s still no match for the Golden Palace.”“However, the Head Coach is not to be trifled with!”“We won’t talk about the Euro-American battle, but the one after—the first world war in the middle east.”“Because of the Head Coach, the Gods of War from other countries didn’t dare to step inside the borders of Country H. This alone should be enough to prove just how scary that man is.”“Before making sure of the Torres family’s relationship with that man…”“It won’t be wise to go against them right now.”“Let Ansel protect Harvey as he pleases.”“Why go against a man with such great support for someone you don’t even know?”Gavin looked bitterly at Elliot.“Next time, use your head instead of your emotions. Stop saying these stupid
Elliot John was enraged when he thought about an outsider completely disrespecting the John family.After all, he was on par with the three young masters from the Bauer family.He would rather die than be disrespected like this!That was why he was filled with rage after hearing about the incident.Gavin Bauer chuckled before patting Elliot’s shoulder.“Calm down.“Since Ansel Torres said he wanted to protect Harvey York, we’ll have to pay him some respect along with the people supporting him.“We won’t lay a finger on Harvey.“But that doesn’t mean other people won’t do it!“Harvey turned Freddy Garcia into a vegetable. He was the Celestial Temple’s top talent!“Tell me, if he was actually dead instead…“Will the Indians, who had constantly been suffering against Harvey, be able just to sit still?”Gavin showed a playful look as he explained the situation to Elliot.True upperclassmen should not just chase for what’s right ahead of them.They need to see it from a broade
Nine o’clock at night, at Flutwell People’s Hospital.Harvey York brought some fruits that he had picked before visiting Mandy Zimmer.After all, it was his own wife that had gotten injured. It was only natural for him to be this diligent.Lilian Yates could not stand Harvey, but he understood just how she would behave. Whenever he visited Mandy, he would always bring a huge check just to seal Lilian’s mouth shut. Lilian was a merciless woman, but it was good that she could let anything slide in the name of money. Harvey was able to keep his sanity during his visits because of this.After having a small chat with Mandy, Harvey left the fruits and walked away since he did not want to disturb Mandy’s rest.Because of the epidemic, Harvey carefully put on a face mask and reminded Mandy and Lilian not to leave the sick room so they would not get infected.When Harvey was going downstairs, the dedicated elevator opened.A doctor with a white coat and a face mask came out with a car
The doctor cracked a smile when the Indians started questioning him.“Don’t panic, everyone. I have my identification right here.“Please have a look.”The doctor brought out a laptop and handed it over to the Indians.The Indians let out sighs of relief after seeing the doctor’s actions. They were fully convinced that the doctor was legitimate.But the moment the Indians let their guard down, the doctor waved his hands, dropping every single can and bottle from the cart.A pungent smell slowly wafted after a small explosion was heard.The few Indians in front had no time to react to the situation. As soon as they inhaled the gas, they immediately fell to the ground while white foam came out of their mouths.The rest of the Indians changed their expressions before pulling their firearms out.“Don’t move!”“Who the hell are you?!”The doctor kept a straight face while hearing the threat. He waved his hands before scalpels flew right out from his sleeves.“Aaagh!”Screams of
But as soon as the doctor sat in the driver’s seat, his body froze.A scalpel was placed on his throat all of a sudden.“Good evening…”Harvey York poked his head out before showing a faint smile.When the doctor saw Harvey’s face, he could not react to the situation. He did not expect that he would meet the actual person.He quickly tried to reach inside his armrest for his firearm, but his body froze again after Harvey put some force into the scalpel.“That’s no good…Harvey smiled.“If you’re going to imitate me, at least try a little harder. I wouldn’t pull out a firearm that hastily.”The doctor showed a cold gaze in his eyes.“I didn’t want to kill you…“But now that you’re here…“I have no choice but to send you off.”“Send me off?” asked Harvey with a smile.“I’m the one with the upper hand here.“I don’t care about you killing Freddy…“But it’d be bad if you’re making me take the blame.”Harvey saw the entire operation but did not try to stop it. After all, he
While Harvey York was asking Kayden Balmer’s help to accompany the doctor…At the John family’s house.Gavin Bauer was calmly sipping his tea.There were a few documents with information about Harvey, Joseph Bauer, and the Indians in his hand.After planning his schemes to deal with Harvey, he got someone to investigate all those people for him.He was quite surprised by the information he had gotten at that moment.He did not realize that Harvey had constantly been disrespecting the Indians and Joseph since he arrived in Flutwell.It was only natural for the John family to be at a disadvantage going against him.After all, the outsider, Harvey, was quite an enigmatic man.Right as Gavin was scheming with more plans, Elliot John walked in with a thin and long cigar in his mouth. He seemed pretty delighted at that moment.“We did it!“We did it, Father!Elliot was utterly excited.“We just got word! Freddy Garcia’s dead! That b*stard, Harvey, killed him!“The Indians there
Elliot John nodded lightly.“Don’t worry, Father! I’ve made every arrangement!”“Right. Can we trust the killer we sent out?” Gavin Bauer asked.“It’s fine! I also have arranged his escape!“He’ll leave the borders with one hundred and fifty million dollars when he’s done! He’ll be a wealthy man somewhere else!“With so many benefits waiting for him, there’s no chance he’d sell us out!” said Elliot with a confident look.Gavin nodded before leaving the place, but he turned around while squinting his eyes before he did.“I’ve been teaching you this all the time, Elliot!“We can only trust the dead!”Elliot froze before showing a faint smile.“I told you, Father. I have already made the arrangements.“The wealthy man will pass away in an accident soon enough.”***While the father and son were planning out their move, Kayden Balmer arrived.After giving him the hostage and telling him to get everything out of the doctor, Harvey York gave Ansel Torres a call.Harvey did not
The woman who looked like upper management was stunned when she heard Harvey called out to her. "Do you want to see our boss?""My, what a show-off," Nelly scoffed at Harvey's pretentiousness. "Do you want to complain against me by speaking to our boss? Xynthia, where did you find this man? Why is he so stupid? Does he think he can settle this by complaining? Is something wrong with his brain?"Not to mention who does he think he is, thinking he can see our boss whenever he wants? If he can see her, I will fall on my knees and call him daddy!"The other female models all covered their mouths and chuckled. To their understanding, what Harvey did was so laughable and childish. Even the lady from upper management mockingly looked at Harvey and said, "Sir, our company headquarters aren't that far. It'll only take three to five minutes to get there."But, do you really think you can see our boss, Ms. Marlee? Not only is she one of the Judds of Wolsing's three daughters, but ordinary peo
After Nelly finished saying what she had to say, several male models walked toward the women. It was obvious that if Xynthia still refused, she would have a fate worse than death. Xynthia's face turned a little pale. While she was already used to all the big scenes and would bring her bodyguards when she had to go somewhere dangerous to film, she did not expect to be in trouble, even in public, like Northsea Park.She was unsure what to say.Xynthia had already stopped talking back to Nelly and looked around, trying to see if she could get any help or escape. Nelly derisively looked at Xynthia when she saw Xynthia's darting eyes. "Stop looking, Xynthia. Judd Entertainment had reserved this entire space. It doesn't matter if it's the staff or the security; they all work for Judd Entertainment."In short, I am the queen bee of this place, and they'll do whatever I tell them to. That's why your fate has already been set."Nelly waved her hand, and the male models moved extremely qui
Just when Harvey was figuring out what was happening from Journi, Nelly and other female models had already surrounded Xynthia.Nelly gave Xynthia the elevator eyes, and the malice was clearly written on her face. "What right do you think you have to join Judd Entertainment's model competition? Look how skinny you are. I'm giving you a chance to keep Mr. Lee company, do you understand? Why won't you listen to me? Will you only give up after I hit your face until it's swollen?"All the other models were angry at Xynthia once they heard what Nelly had to say."That's right, Xynthia. If you don't listen to Nelly, just leave already!""Our circle is not for someone like you who comes from nowhere.""If we let someone like you join our social circle, it will be an embarrassment.""It's all thanks to models like you who came from nowhere that make others look down on our community, thinking that we don't have class."Xynthia frowned a little, but she still slowly replied, "I'm a stude
"It's true that my family doesn't own Judd Entertainment, but without me, Judd Entertainment would have closed years ago," said the tall woman with a sneer. "Don't tell me you have forgotten that I'm Judd Entertainment's advertising department's superstar?"Harvey did not rush forward and simply squinted his eyes, looking at how things unfolded. Journi noticed the change in Harvey and softly said, "The tall woman is indeed the superstar for Judd Entertainment's advertising department. Her name is Nelly Parker. I heard that she's one of the mistresses of Sawyer Judd, the third son of the Judd family."She had suppressed plenty of newbies who could have become big stars in their own right within Judd Entertainment. She would use everything she had to kick a person out whenever her status was threatened to the point that the other person couldn't survive in the entertainment industry anymore."I've heard that female students from Wolsing's Academy of Motion Pictures have been sold to t
Harvey smiled. "You're welcome. Since I'm already treating you as my friend, I will help you deal with these problems to the best of my ability."Journi shot a strange look at Harvey but did not say a word. The atmosphere around them was becoming somewhat awkward. At this time, Harvey's gaze fell upon a small plaza not too far from the café.He saw plenty of filming equipment scattered around while some handsome men and beautiful women were filming something. It looked like there was some kind of event happening there.Journi looked at what Harvey was looking at. Then, as if she remembered something, she pointed at a logo next to the plaza. "Looks like it's an event organized by Judd Entertainment."Harvey saw a figure among the crowd and subconsciously asked, "Judd Entertainment?"Journi nodded. "The entertainment company belonged to the Judd family. Their business mainly involves filming dramas, movies, and advertisements. They're most widely known for their advertising. I heard
Elric was an experienced man. As someone who had survived and thrived in the business world for so long, he knew what Jon meant. Jon had not even done anything, but he already said he had nothing to do with its failure. And he even wanted Elric to sign a declaration.In short, Jon was already boasting when he said he had a 30% chance of success.When the thought crossed his mind, Elric squinted his eyes and took a deep breath. He waved his hand and signaled his secretary to give him a bank draft. Then, he laid it before Jon, saying, "Master Jon, 30% chance is still too low for me, so you don't have to do anything. Please take this 150 thousand dollars as compensation for coming all the way here."Jon smiled and picked up the bank draft, putting it in his pocket without hesitation. Then, he said as if he remembered something, "You're pretty wise in the way of the world, Mr. Elric. Usually, those in our industry won't recommend someone else even if we fail in a task. But seeing that y
"A charlatan?" Elric was shaking. "What do you mean?"Pamela smiled coldly. "That day when he saw me, that little bastard told me I won't live past 40 years old. He made it sound so believable too! In reality, whoever believed him was the real fool. While I'm feeling a little unlucky lately, once Master Jon is here, everything will be solved!"You should kill that charlatan as quickly as possible. I'm getting angry just thinking about him!" said Pamela. The moment she stood up, she suddenly felt her world spinning and instantly collapsed on her bed.Elric shuddered, instinctively wanting to call for the doctors in the health resort. However, Pamela gritted her teeth and said, "Quick, give Master Jon a call. My time is really running short here…"Half an hour later, Elric paced back and forth in the health resort's VIP room with his hands behind his back. Not far away from him was Pamela, who was already lying in bed with her face pale despite how energetic she had been earlier.Sh
"Mr. Stanton, I'm someone who likes to give second chances. However, I won't keep on giving those chances away," Harvey said to Elric as he stood up. Then, he picked up a paper towel from the table and wiped Elric's face."That's why I'm going to give you one final chance. Come see me once you have thought things through. You can choose to either give up and watch me dethrone you as the next chairman, or agree to my demands so that I will withdraw my candidacy. Don't appear in front of me anymore before you think things through. I've been quite busy recently, and I'm not in the mood to waste time with you…"After that, Harvey ignored Elric who wanted to say something and left with his hands behind his back. Elric had only regained his composure some time later, but even then he couldn't stop his eyes from twitching.He wasn't a gangster from the streets, but a truly important figure. He could already tell a lot of things from Mr. Lee's attitude. Harvey's identity was now revealed
"Why you little…!" When Mr. Lee heard Harvey was telling him to kneel, he could feel himself at the boiling point. However, he suddenly saw the badge right in front of him. He was instinctively startled, feeling his vision was covered in red.The others might not know what that thing was, but how could he not know? It was the Longmen Association's Scion Badge!Which also meant that the young man in front of him was the scion of the Longmen Association!The moment Mr. Lee realized it, he didn't hesitate and instantly kneeled on the floor with a thump. Blood instantly splattered the moment his knees hit the ground. He didn't even scream despite the pain, and he didn't even channel his energy to resist the pain.He kneeled there with his back straight like a child who had committed a grave crime, shuddering.Elric's expression turned blank. Even someone who had traveled far and wide like him didn't understand what had happened. A second ago, Mr. Lee was still yelling at Harve
