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
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
