Kori John covered her face while stumbling off the ground with a vengeful look.“How dare you sneak up on me like that, you b*stard?!“I wasn’t even ready yet!“This doesn’t count!”“Oh? Is that so?Harvey York hooked his finger in front of Kori.“Come back up here then.”Kori gritted her teeth while walking forward. She took a deep breath and grabbed a longsword from the weapons rack before pointing it at Harvey.“Let me make the first move if you dare!” she exclaimed coldly.Harvey lightly nodded.Kori swung her sword in the next moment.Slap!Harvey seemed indifferent when he swung his palm forward.Kori screamed in pain before she was sent flying again.And after slamming onto the ground, she could not get back up again…The crowd was utterly shocked.If the first slap was considered a sneak attack, the second one was clearly an obvious one.Kori even made the first move.Did this mean that Harvey was just way stronger?!Without a second thought, cold sweat dripp
Ruby Murray smiled.“Don’t worry, Young Master Bauer.“My brother had already hired ghostwriters and made fake deals to triple the price of the property of the first phase!“Based on our current progress, the value of our land for every ten square feet will be at least fourteen thousand dollars!“And since Flutwell is also the business and political center of the southeast part of Country H.“We can definitely mark up the prices a lot higher.“After all, the land you chose is just strategic!“Not only is the Holy Mountain right behind the district but the Holy Lake can also be seen in front of it!“The expansion of the district and the beautiful view just can’t be found anywhere else in Flutwell!”Joseph Bauer lightly nodded after hearing Ruby’s words.“Right. Keep an eye on the progress for me then.“We’ll lay low for the time being.“We’ll talk about everything else after the sale.”Joseph had to pay close attention to his real estate project. After all, he poured half o
“Oh?“He even dared to kill someone like that?“If I remember correctly, Freddy Garcia was Cody Garcia’s last disciple!”Joseph Bauer showed a surprised look.He had been following Harvey York for a while, but he did not expect that Harvey was actually this old.Ruby Murray nodded.“It’s true!“There’s word saying that Cody has already left the Golden Palace and arrived at Flutwell this afternoon!“Soon after, he met with Frankie Garcia!“One of his disciples, Wren Garcia, also followed him along with a group of experts.“Simply put, Cody’s getting his people ready to exact his revenge!”Joseph thought about the situation for a short while.“Is there proof that points toward Harvey’s murder?“None for the time being, but a few Indians saw his face when he did it.“There’s no other proof, but Mandy Zimmer was also staying in the same hospital where the murder took place.“The police doesn’t have enough evidence to take action against Harvey for now…“But, at this point,
While Joseph Bauer was scheming how to fan the flames harder…The next day, Harvey York brought some breakfast to Flutwell People’s Hospital.After passing through the hall and entering the elevator, he came to the inpatient department on the upper floor.Safe to say that Harvey was quite familiar with the place.Right when he came to the floor where Mandy Zimmer was, he frowned slightly.A faint smell wafted in the air.It did not smell like the typical fragrance but rather like a woody scent.Harvey could smell it his entire way here. He could not help but stay cautious because of it.After pondering the situation for a moment, he sent out a text before going inside Mandy’s sick room.A few disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement were seen inside the room. They were in charge of Mandy’s safety.They respectfully welcomed Harvey inside since they knew who he was.Harvey casually handed a check to Lilian Yates even before she could stand up, then proceeded to walk toward Mand
Pfft pfft pfft!The doctor waved her hand instantly, revealing silver needles flying right toward the disciples, who had no time even to react.The disciples were in disbelief before they fell to the ground without making a sound.Then, the doctor calmly turned around before coldly glaring at Mandy Zimmer.Mandy’s smile was replaced by a stern look.“Who are you?“I don’t think I know you.“Why come to kill me when we have no grudge against each other?“If you’re here for the gold mine, it’s useless even if you get to kill me.”The doctor took off her face mask, revealing her extremely gorgeous face.Then, she smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Zimmer. I won’t kill you.“It’s no good for us after all. We don’t want any unnecessary trouble.“But I’m afraid that you’ll have to come with me. You’re going to be our bargaining chip.The doctor showed a distant gaze.“Of course, you shouldn’t blame me for being so inhospitable.“Blame your ex-husband for that.“He was
Next, Wren Garcia walked to the side of the bed and revealed a silver needle behind her finger.“You people like acupuncture, don’t you?” she said while looking at Mandy Zimmer calmly.“I’ll make sure to turn you into a disabled person today.“I suggest you don’t resist. Just watch as I slowly do my job.“If I get into a foul mood, I might just lose control and kill you.“Don’t blame me when that happens.”Wren flicked her needle before pushing it into Mandy so she could deal with Harvey York later.Bang!But at this moment, a firearm poked out from underneath the bed and pulled the trigger on Wren’s stomach.“Aaagh!“You b*stard!”Wren screamed in pain. She was immediately sent flying by the force of the firearm.At this moment, she was filled with pain and disbelief.She never expected a gunner would be hiding under Mandy’s bed.The person was also terribly decisive. The trigger was pulled without wasting a second longer.Wren had no other choice but to cover her wound
Bam!Wren Garcia was sent flying before she slammed into the wall.She struggled to stand up when she fell to the ground, but Harvey York was already standing before her.Wren gritted her teeth and thrust her dagger, desperately trying to turn the tables.A bright glare was coming from the dagger. It was a terrifying sight.“Harvey! Look out!” exclaimed Mandy Zimmer instinctively.Slap!Harvey steadily swung his palm forward.His movements did not seem fast, but he managed to slap Wren across her face even before she could do any damage.Wren screamed in pain. She was sent flying once again as she covered her face. She had no strength left to crawl back up when she landed on the ground again.Clap clap clap!Harvey clapped his hands.Soon after, Rudolph’s team went inside the room.They quickly injected anesthetics into Wren’s body and treated her injuries to ensure she would not pass out due to blood loss.Wren gritted her teeth when she observed what had happened. It se
“Of course, no one can do that,” replied Harvey York calmly.“In reality, Black Rose would just sit in a corner so people outside wouldn’t be able to see her.“But, when I arrived at the hospital, I smelled something.“It wasn’t just any fragrance. It was the smell of agarwood, an Indian specialty.“I knew an Indian was here as soon as I smelled it.“I didn’t know if you were planning to come for my people or not…“But I like to be a little careful. That was why I sent a text to Black Rose so she could prepare herself.“When you came knocking on the door, I smelled the same scent on you.“I immediately identified you after that.“But since I didn’t know what your motives were, I did my best to put up a show.“As for what happened next, you know better than I do.”Harvey calmly explained the entire situation to show his sincerity.At the same time, he wanted Wren to fall into despair.After all, to a prideful woman like her, it was more painful that her plans were foiled th
Blade took a deep breath. He remembered his own duty and stood in front of Clarion, shielding him. Then, he said with a cold expression on his face, "Madam, Mr. Zeon, my apologies. However, as I'm currently the Assistant Hallmaster and Clarion is my superior, it's my duty to protect him. May I ask how he offended the two of you to the point that he pressed the red button?"Blade put on the face of someone who was only doing his job. He was loyal to his duties.Clarion's expression changed. He did not realize that Blade was a Jackson. However, since Blade chose duty over his personal ties, it was enough to calm Clarion down.Whoosh!At the moment when everything was at a standstill, Zeon suddenly stepped forward and appeared right before the crowd. He immediately slapped Blade's face.Slap!He slapped Blade so hard and loud that Blade stumbled backward as he was not on his guard and almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Clarion reacted quickly and helped Blade up. Otherwise, Blade wo
"I'll give you one last chance to answer me. If you refuse, it won't be my fault for not showing you any mercy." Camellia's pretty face became colder as she stared at Clarion before waving her right hand.After what she did, she saw all the security from Platinum Casino stepped forward, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.Clarion smiled. "Looks like not only have you captured him, it doesn't sound like you're going to release him at all. Looks like I mean nothing to you madam!"Camellia sat down back on the sofa as she folded her legs once more. She raised her chin as she looked at Clarion, coldly saying, "You're right. You mean nothing to me. What? Are you going to go mad? Do it, then! Show it to me! I'm curious to see just what our Young Master Clarion Parker can do to make a scene!"Clarion took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Don't blame me for this, then!"After that, Clarion's right hand pulled out a small red button and pressed it.Vroom!As soon as he di
"All your casino shares?" Camellia stroked her chin as she gave Clarion a meaningful smile. "If I remember, they all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the interest you gain annually is also quite substantial. Without that, your worth as the heir of Parkerville will drop significantly."Looks like Hale probably saved your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have paid such a price for a garbage like him," Camellia's eyes were judgmental when she said those words. She stared at Clarion curiously, wanting to see something from his actions and expressions.Unfortunately, Clarion maintained his cool and indifference."Madam, it'll take a long time to talk about the relationship between us. Hence, there's no need for me to explain everything here. All I want to ask is, will you accept this trade?"Camellia once again walked over to Clarion's side and bent closer, whispering in his ears. "Of course I'm willing, since you're offering me so much. Unfortunately, since I don't have Hale
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
