Joseph’s face was frosty. A hundred and fifty million was a small amount to him. It wouldn’t be hard for him to bring out that amount of money in an instant.However, he planned to sell ten thousand houses that day…Concepts like internet-famous spots and hype are simply that: concepts.If Harvey actually returned the hundred houses, the idea of this place being the top district of the southwest would dissipate in an instant.The wealthy who came here out of impulse would probably calm down and choose to wait.If that were to happen, Joseph’s plans to sell out every single property of the new district would go up in flames.It didn’t matter if he wanted his money back as soon as possible, or if he wanted to keep hyping up his properties…He couldn’t allow Harvey to return the houses, no matter what.Joseph was beginning to regret his decision.If he knew Harvey was this troublesome to deal with, he wouldn’t have coerced the Indians to go against Harvey in the first place.
After hearing Joseph’s words, the hesitant buyers instantly felt relieved.If Joseph still didn’t allow the houses to be returned, they would have doubted his words about their interests being secured.But while Joseph was arguing with Harvey, he decided to take a step back and allow the houses to be returned.He even allowed Harvey to return them without any conditions.Other than proving that Joseph was indeed wealthy and generous, it also showed that he was confident about Flutwell’s new district.Everyone’s interests were surely guaranteed!If anyone wasn’t happy with their purchases, they could always just return them!After seeing Joseph making such a comeback, Harvey couldn’t help but be impressed.As expected from the young master who rose to power in just six years.Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to imitate his schemes and decisiveness.“Since you’re talking so big…”“I don’t think I’ll go to the after-sales service.”“Why don’t you just transfer me the money for
Chapter 3425Suddenly, the loud blaring of trumpets could be heard all over the place.Thousands of people showed up on the streets soon after.They were grouped up in fours, and were carrying bright red coffins. Some were in charge of mourning, as if they were crying for their family.Aside from that, there were rows of white wreaths set outside the property of the first phase.The same people were headed in the same direction.With all these coffins wreaths and the loud trumpets…It looked to be a massive funeral!The grandiose district turned eerie and ghostly in an instant.The elderly who had brought cash were on the verge of blacking out upon the ghastly sight.Out of everything, they were most terrified of bad luck.Upon seeing so many coffins and the eerie, loud trumpets…Even if they were in a sales office…People who didn’t know would probably think of this place as a large cemetery!“I’ll turn every single one of those houses into graves!”“And because this is such a great p
In the evening, at the Bauer family’s manor.Lights shone around the side hall.Joseph comforted several important members of Flutwell’s business alliance before sending them off. Then, he approached an exquisite calligraphy hanging on the wall.A little neglect may breed great mischief!Joseph upheld this principle with great seriousness—this was the main reason he was able to rise so quickly in just a span of six years.He had been planning for Flutwell’s new district for many years; this was a very important battle for him to win, all for the sake of rising to power.Yet… Not only did Harvey make a joke out of the entire event, but he also turned Joseph into the family’s biggest joke.Most importantly, Harvey turned the entire district into the most luxurious cemetery.This meant that Flutwell’s top district had instead become the top cemetery for the wealthy.Besides a few successful trades Joseph forced, ninety-nine percent of his property remained untouched.After all,
Joseph froze. Then, a frown appeared on his face. “How did Harvey manage to get Golden Palace’s Law Enforcement to fear him?”“I usually give them quite a lot of money.”“Why are they being so hesitant now that I want someone dead?”Ruby frowned as well.“Maybe they’re scared of the person who came with Harvey that night.”“After all, that person had the Dragon Guards with her. She was in a car with a license plate from Wolsing as well. Her identity must be quite extraordinary.”“Before figuring out Harvey and the person’s identity, Golden Palace probably wouldn’t take action.”“You may be right…”Joseph let out a huge sigh.“Harvey’s quite impressive!”“He knows how to make use of someone else’s strength pretty well.”“I think I know why the houses ended up in his hands now.”“That person from Wolsing must’ve helped him.”“If not, judging from those young masters and princes, there was no way they’d finish the procedures overnight.”“That person must have a pretty high
“Joseph can just get his men to carry the coffins out of the place, right?”Mandy was confused.“He wouldn’t dare,” Harvey calmly replied.“The noble Kshatriyas are the ones sleeping there. Every single one of them died in Flutwell for no reason.”“Now that a kind-hearted person gave them such a high-class funeral, the Indians would definitely thank the person no matter what they truly think.”“If Joseph decides to move the coffins away, he’ll completely turn against the Indians and the Celestial Temple.”“Judging from Joseph’s behavior, he wouldn’t do something that would make him suffer any loss.”“He’ll think of another way to deal with this.”“That said, this isn’t what we should be worrying about right now.”“After losing the capital return of the new district, Joseph and the business alliance’s control in Flutwell’s business world will plummet.”“If you want to stand your ground here…”“You should definitely make arrangements as soon as you can. Make sure to take advan
Harvey revealed a calm smile.“I don’t know if Jeff will actually return the money…”“But I do know one thing: it’s only natural for people to give back what’s been owed.”“If you want absolute authority within Hearthstone Corporation and use this opportunity to build a career…”“Taking the money back is a good start.”Harvey chuckled.“While your mother’s gone, I can go with you to the Whitebane Center if you’re feeling well.”“I can get the money back for you.”Mandy shook her head, and flashed Harvey a warm smile. “It’s fine. I've already found someone to do it for me.”“She’ll be able to get the money back. All I need to do is to give her something in return.”Upon seeing the confidence on Mandy’s face, Harvey smiled and said nothing.She had been struggling in the business world for the longest time. Surely, she would have ideas of her own at this point.And so, Harvey patiently waited for Mandy to deal with the situation.…“Brother-In-Law! What a coincidence!”R
“Huh?”The woman’s name was Larisa Lee; upon hearing Harvey’s words, she froze, her pale face going bright red.She instinctively stepped toward Xynthia and whispered, “Is your brother-in-law crazy or something?”“How can he talk to a woman like this?”“Is he still a pervert who’s never touched your sister for three whole years, just like you said?”Naturally, Xynthia must’ve said those things back then. Thus, Larisa was showing an odd look as she glared at Harvey.Xynthia felt awkward.“You’re mistaken, Larisa…”Xynthia quickly thought of a way to relieve the awkwardness.“My brother-in-law’s pretty talented, Larisa.”“He wouldn’t ask you this for no reason.”“Are you actually losing sleep?”Larisa nodded, still looking weirded out. “Xynthia, your brother-in-law isn’t some conman, is he?”“I heard there are people who can see what’s wrong with everyone’s bodies, and use that to scam others…”Xynthia was at a complete loss—she had no idea how to explain the situation.
With just a simple move, the Islander swordsman screamed in pain and crashed to the ground. He didn't even have the chance to spar with Harvey.An Islander wrestler immediately rushed out of the crowd. "I dare you to try me, Harvey!" Harvey calmly kicked a chair at the wrestler, who didn't even manage to enter the door before collapsing on the ground."Fool!""Die!"One by one, the Island Nation's elites attacked, but none of them could pass through the entrance into the training hall before collapsing.Harvey's technique was indeed very terrifying. What Harvey did without exerting much effort turned all the Islanders' excitement into despair. All the Islanders that had collapsed had some reputation in Grand City. But now, they were nothing before Harvey.Meanwhile, those from Country H were overjoyed. Many of them started to go around and spread the good news throughout Grand City.Harvey's reputation had spread in Grand City. A lot of people knew that the representative of
"All you Islanders are always acting so arrogantly in our territory. You'll sneer at us, calling us weaklings every now and then. Now, we simply stated the fact that you're weaklings too—and you find it hard to accept? Don't you understand that you should treat others how you like to be treated? If you're not weaklings before him, what are you then? Feces?"Hale shouted at the Islanders fearlessly, feeling refreshed as he did it. He seemed to have suffered a lot at the hands of Sky Plane, so he didn't hold back when he started his speech. It was enough to make the Islanders hear it go mad.However, Hale wasn't scared at all. Instead, he pointed at the Islanders and went on, "Yapping of sore losers."The Islander with the mustache almost went crazy. "Do you know what you're doing? You're trying to start a war! Can you bear this responsibility?"The other Islanders also joined in; all of them called for war, as if that would be enough to threaten Harvey. However, Hale didn't even b
Harvey couldn't tell what Hale was up to by borrowing his influence, but he knew very well that what he needed to do right now was to liven Grand City up. It would be best if he could cause a wave. Only then would he have the opportunity to achieve his goals.That was why he didn't stop Hale, despite not knowing what Hale was up to. Instead, Harvey let Hale do as he wanted.Hale took a deep breath. His eyes carried a meaningful gaze as he looked at Harvey, and he said with a dry smile, "What I'm going to do is to be quite intense, but I believe you can take it."Harvey chuckled. "Is it the kind that I prefer?""I don't know if you'll like it, but I believe you won't hate it," Hale said.Harvey clapped. "Sure. Let me see just how much of a ruckus your method that I won't hate will cause in Grand City!"Hale didn't waste his breath and grabbed a white piece of cloth and started painting something. Then, he immediately put it at the entrance of the training hall. As soon as the clot
There was cheer from the crowd when they saw how Harvey could easily defeat those from the Sky Plane and win back the pride of Grand City and the people from Country H.At this time, a middle-aged man, somewhat short and plump, approached Harvey with admiration on his face. "The way you fight is brilliant, friend. Most importantly, you managed to defeat the haughty Islanders without any trouble. Simply brilliant! You've won all our admiration!""That's right!" The people in the crowd all nodded, the admiration on their faces clear.It was said that amateurs watch the show for excitement, while the experts grasp the details. However, the people who formed the crowd this time were mostly martial arts elites. They understood just how powerful Harvey was from how he easily defeated Kuro, Mikan, and the other Islanders."It doesn't matter whether I earn your admiration or not," Harvey said with a faint smile as he entered the training hall. "Since you're not my training hall's student
In that instant, all the elites from Origin Fist could only gasp. They didn't know how to react when they saw what happened. Normally, once Harvey gave Kuro the chance to turn the table around, Kuro should have the advantage.But the result?Kuro was being stepped on, and he didn't even have the power to resist. Before Harvey's strength, he was just too weak."Not only can't you fight, but you're also making me very disappointed," Harvey said as he squatted and patted Kuro's face. It was a simple action, but it was enough to humiliate Kuro completely."Stop wasting time here, kid. I acknowledge that I've been careless, and I acknowledge that I'm not as skilled as you. I surrender!" The expression on Kuro's face was one of stubbornness. "If you can, kill me! I'm telling you, even if I die, the Origin Fist will never let you go! No matter who you are, you'll die in the hands of Origin Fist! If I die, your whole family will die with you!""How naïve," Harvey said with a smile. In t
"Your level of power is insufficient as well. Your so-called Black Hands is somewhat interesting, but you can't even unleash half of its power. Which means that the Sky Plane's martial arts aren't good, and so are you," Harvey said as he kept on slapping Kuro.Kuro couldn't even move away from getting slapped. His face was full of blood, and its contour had completely changed. All the Origin Fist elites could only watch this in shock.Kuro was the cream of the crop of Origin Fist. Not only was he a True Warrior, but he had even mastered the Black Hands. Why couldn't he escape the weak slaps from Harvey? How could Kuro not defeat Harvey, especially in a place like Grand City?This was the same as the Origin Fist's dignity being completely soiled!But another question appeared. Were the weak-looking slaps really that powerful?"You fool! How dare you slap me!" Kuro snarled, fury and doubt on his face. He was shocked at Harvey's power. He didn't think Harvey could slap him that e
"You fool!" Kuro was completely infuriated.He immediately appeared in mid-air in front of Harvey, his palms striking down. The black miasma surrounding his hands turned into gigantic palms, carrying a powerful aura. They seemed to be expanding without limits. At that instant, they seemed to be covering the entire sky.Everyone gasped.What was going on? Was this the legendary Black Hands?They couldn't believe it! Then they saw how Harvey seemed like he was stunned by the terrifying Black Hands. He simply stood there, unmoved, as if he was frozen.Alexei's expression changed. He wanted to call out to Harvey, but he noticed that he couldn't say anything as his throat had gone dry. He couldn't even move.He wasn't the only one. Even the bodyguards from the Foster family were all full of despair. They never expected the elites from Sky Plane could be so strong—it shook them to the core. Even among the seven families from Grand City, only the few most talented people would hav
Harvey frowned and looked at Alexei. "Alexei, do all the people from Sky Plane have some emotional issues? Why are they all so self-centered?""Well…" Alexei was speechless. 'Bro… Big bro…' While Harvey had the strength to ignore the people from Sky Plane, Alexei didn't! Not only did he want to live, but he wanted to live a good life too!When Kuro heard Harvey's words, he smiled coldly. "You have quite the confidence, Mr. Representative. You probably don't understand what the words True Warriors meant. Today, allow me to help you understand just how terrifying the True Warriors from Sky Plane are!"As Kuro said that, he extended his right hand. A black miasma appeared around his fingers. Very quickly, it began to surround both his palms, looking extremely eerie.Mikan instinctively asked, "You're going to use the Origin Fist's ultimate attack, the Black Hands?"The so-called Black Hands was the ultimate technique of the Origin Fist. It was said that every use of it will make
To someone like Mikan, who thought of herself as someone at the top of the social hierarchy, what happened to her was humiliating and infuriated her deeply.She gritted her teeth and stared at Harvey. After a long while, she yelled, "Shameless… You shameless man! How dare you ambush me?!"Slap!Harvey sent Mikan flying again with another slap. This time, she slammed right into a giant stone pillar in the courtyard, and was instantly in a wounded state."Ambush? Do I even need to ambush rubbish like you?" Harvey's expression was full of disdain. "Who do you think you are? What makes you think you're worth ambushing?"Harvey fired a few more slaps at Mikan. There was no way for her to escape, and her entire face was now full of dirt. In the end, she was thrown out of the entrance. She rolled on the ground, and Harvey even kicked her on the buttocks.When all the spectators saw what had happened, their eyes grew wide, their faces filled with disbelief. They never expected that thing
