Larisa wasn’t injured very badly—she wasn’t in danger…However, she was in complete shock.She kept twitching on the ground as she covered her wound, and wouldn’t respond to anyone calling her name.Xynthia was so scared that she started shivering.She was the one who pulled the trigger. She didn’t think that the firearm would actually shoot out a live bullet.If it weren’t for the recoil, Larisa would’ve been dead!Xynthia's heart kept racing. She knew she had to call Harvey after something this big happened.After understanding the situation, Harvey drove here as quickly as he could.Flutwell’s Film City was a brightly-lit place filled with food and entertainment.Xynthia kept shivering as she sat slumped on a bench. She was holding a bottle of water, but she didn’t even take a sip of it.The local police force were already involved with the situation. The owner of the Script Murder place was apprehended instantly.Xynthia’s university friends and everyone else had to stay
“Larisa!”“Are you alright?!”“My baby girl!”A middle-aged woman in traditional clothing arrived on the scene with several companions.She approached Larisa anxiously, before throwing a large fit.Senior Miller immediately stood up and bowed in front of the woman, calling her Mrs. Lee.Xynthia wasn’t from Flutwell, so she didn’t know who Mrs. Lee was.The university students began to mumble to each other.“That’s Larisa’s mother!”“I heard she’s from Flutwell’s business alliance! She’s involved with the development of Flutwell’s new district! She’s filthy rich!”“Her father’s even better! I think he’s a prominent figure from Longmen!”“Her family’s so rich! Larisa said she was going to pay for the Script Murder, but who knew that this would happen?”The students were showing admiration; Larisa’s family was simply too extraordinary. She wouldn’t need to ask for a single thing her entire life; she already had everything.The students were born in normal families. Even some
Mrs. Lee glared vengefully at Xynthia.“How do you not understand why I’m hitting you right now?!”“I know everything, you b*tch!”“You were the one who shot my daughter!”“You were jealous of her! That was why you wanted to scare her!”“You knew the gun was going to go off!”“So what if I hit you?! I’m doing this for my daughter!”Mrs. Lee swung her palm again.Slap!This time, however,Xynthia was prepared to block the slap.“Be reasonable, ma’am!”“We came here to play!”“Larisa picked the role herself!”“I was just following the script!”“I’m sorry that this happened…”“But this isn’t my fault! I’m a victim as well!”Xynthia had a helpless look on her face.“Why would I pull the trigger if I knew that there was a bullet?”“I feel guilty about it, but you can’t put all the blame on me!”“Be a little more reasonable! It doesn’t matter if you’re angry!”Xynthia tried her best to explain her situation.Mrs. Lee’s expression turned as cold as ice.“You still can’t c
A few students wanted to stop the fight before they saw Mrs. Lee’s wretched expression on her face. They had no other choice than to watch Xynthia Zimmer being tortured.“You little b*tch! My daughter must’ve bought all these for you, right?!“You take everything from my daughter, yet you’re still trying to kill her out of jealousy?!“People like you deserve to die!”Mrs. Lee was getting tired after slapping Xynthia a dozen more times. She snatched Xynthia’s Hermes handbag with a cold look after that.She thought that a person like Xynthia did not deserve such a thing.The handbag would cost a few thousand dollars just for the shipping!Mrs. Lee believed that Xynthia probably got this from Larisa Lee.She became a lot more furious after that.She took everything out of Xynthia’s handbag and tossed it to the people passing by.“This laptop’s yours now!“Here’s a wallet!“I’m doing a favor for this b*tch!”Mrs. Lee gave everything Xynthia had before keeping the Hermes handba
Mrs. Lee stepped forward and kicked Xynthia Zimmer to the ground while she was screaming loudly.“How dare you fight back, you little b*tch?!“Die already!“You uneducated wh*re!“I’ll teach you some manners if nobody’s teaching you!“I’ll teach you how to respect your elders!Mrs. Lee was boiling with anger, especially when she looked at Xynthia’s beautiful face. She wanted to step on her face so badly with her high heels.“Die! Die! Die, you little b*tch!”Xynthia was constantly kicked around when she slammed to the ground, but she covered her hands around her head so she would not get injured there.But even so, Xynthia’s arms were covered in blood and bruises.“You’re still blocking?!“If I don’t make you pay today…“I’d rather go die!Then, Mrs. Lee pointed at a few male companions around her with a cold smile.“Rip her clothes off and take a few pictures as commemoration!”The male companions’ eyes lit up before they walked forward with wretched smiles on their fac
“That’s bullsh*t!” a student could not help but exclaim.“Xynthia Zimmer’s a victim as well, but Mrs. Lee had to lash out at her since she couldn’t do it to anyone else!”Then, the students explained the entire situation…Including the fact that Mrs. Lee was about to take naked pictures of Xynthia.The students did not know who Harvey York was, but they believed he would surely keep Xynthia safe after seeing the rage written on his face.Harvey gradually calmed himself down after hearing the students’ explanation.“Don’t you know who Mrs. Lee is? How dare you criticize her like this?The woman glared at the righteous student with a cold gaze.“Do you want to die or something?!“If I tell Mrs. Lee about this, she’ll rip off all of your clothes too!”The others were coldly chuckling while looking at the students.They were excited to see what they could get out of the situation if the students were also stripped clean.The students frantically twitched their eyes before runni
Harvey York completely ignored the woman and quickly found some medical equipment to treat Xynthia Zimmer.It was good that Xynthia was only externally wounded. Harvey had dealt with those injuries before on the battlefield, so it was pretty easy for him.Ten minutes later, a dozen police cars with blaring sirens stopped outside the Film City.The captain of the team and also Mandy Zimmer’s best friend since university, Vivian Hall, showed a cold gaze as she walked out with her team behind her.Two security guards tried to stop her before they were kicked to the ground.Soon after, the inspectors swarmed into the medical room.Vivian showed an odd look when she saw Harvey.“Were you the one who called, Sir York?”The others in the room completely lost color on their faces after they saw so many inspectors in the same room. They did not expect that something like this would actually happen.Nobody believed that such a young man who seemed fragile and powerless would be able to
“What’s going on here?!“What are you doing?!“Do you people have warrants?!“How dare you arrest people and look at our surveillance cameras as you please?!“Who gave you the nerve?!”Rapid footsteps could be heard from outside before eight people walked in.The person leading the group was Senior Miller himself.His respectful demeanor was entirely replaced by rage when he pointed at Vivian Hall and the others.“Are you people braindead?!“Don’t you realize what place this is?!“Without a warrant, without our permission, the police aren’t allowed to do anything here!“I’m giving you three minutes! Release every single one of them in this instance!“Get out of here when you’re done!“If not, I can even fire every single one of you with a single phone call!”Naturally, Senior Miller was not just the boss of the Script Murder. He was also one of the shareholders of Film City.He substituted himself as the boss of the place at that moment.He still acted fiercely, even in
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
Two in the afternoon. Wolsing residence.52 Toyota Centuries appeared in front of the gate.All the cars had diplomatic plates, and one could sense the arrogance of the drivers and passengers from miles away.Several members of the Xavier family had just prepared to ask them for their identities. Still, they did not expect the convoy to crash into the gate and barriers immediately and then walk into the Xavier family's residence.Several islanders even rolled down their cars, gave them the middle finger as they could only watch in shock, and said, "You don't even know our convoy? If it isn't because our boss is willing to marry someone from your family, you'll drop out of the top ten soon enough! How blind can you be?"The islanders let out a laugh.They managed to break into one of the small courtyards within the residence in no time. They kicked open the door, and behind it was Yvonne's room, which she had grown up in.Currently, maids are helping Yvonne change into her tradit
"While the Xaviers of Wolsing looked courteous before us, the people from Country H are known for their schemes. We must be on our guard at all times…" It was rare for Shingen to be so patient and to educate his assistants.After that, Shingen remembered something and said, "Right, did you manage to get Ky City's Director Netsu?"Nobita snickered. "Not only did I manage to, but Director Netsu even led his entire team here when he heard it was to serve you. He said that they can accommodate you no matter what kind of script you want."Shingen scoffed. "I don't need any special script. He simply needs to ensure he records the video when I bed her tonight, and then send some to Harvey. I heard that the woman who will become mine used to be Harvey's. If he sees his woman become the Director Netsu's female lead for his latest work, he might even lose his Martial Art focus," replied Shingen smilingly.That was his kink.He liked to sleep with his opponent's wife or family member, make s
Nobita whispered, "Sir, I believe there's no need to use this crazy woman. I'll tell all my men to attack, and we can outnumber Harvey if that's what it takes. That bastard… How dare he take the initiative to challenge us instead!"He must be someone reckless. Didn't he know that it's his people's fate to stay inside and surrender?"Looking at the furious Nobita, Shingen coldly replied, "If he's that easy to deal with, he wouldn't be able to become the representative of Country H's Martial Arts Alliance. Get more of the drugs from Country A's embassy and give them to Liza. We can kill Harvey by throwing money at him."Both Shouta and Nobita nodded. "Understood."After that, Shingen calmly asked, "How's the promotion of my wedding?"Shouta said, "Don't worry, sir. While the wedding was in Country H, we let all the Island Nation's media's best reporters come over. Before long, the Island Nation will know that you will marry a daughter from the Xaviers of Wolsing. Your status is alre
George briefly hesitated before continuing and said, "I also noticed something other than this. The Island Nation embassy was preparing for a wedding. From the looks of it, tonight would be the wedding."From my informants, the people getting married are Yvonne and Shingen."Geroge paused momentarily before continuing, "From what I heard, Yvonne lost her parents a long time ago, and Sheldon brought her up. However, Sheldon is still imprisoned within the Xavier of Wolsing's ancestral land. I heard that if Yvonne refuses to marry, then Sheldon will die."Only now did Harvey manage to connect the dots. For example, why did Yvonne leave without saying a word? For instance, why would Yvonne suddenly marry another man? When the thought crossed his mind, Harvey extended his right hand, slammed the table, and said, "From now on, you have the authority to use everything I have. But you must get Sheldon out before the wedding tonight."George was stunned. "Sir, please do anything rash! That'
"You!" Liza was so furious that she seemed to go berserk as she kept pouncing at Rachel. Unfortunately, Rachel had already realized that her lower half was defenseless. No matter how she attacked, Rachel would only focus on her legs.After exchanging blows, Rachel used a chance to kick Liza in the stomach. Liza let out a scream as she was immediately thrown out. When she dropped to the ground, the burst of internal energy and the drug after-effects made her twitch on the ground, and she could not get back up after some time."See? This is the price you pay for your revenge," Harvey signaled Rachel to stop as he looked at Liza and gave a sigh. "The power of martial arts comes from training for a long period. You, or should I say, the person behind this all, had the wrong understanding. They all think that you, after using the genetic drug, would be able to kill me with your increased power."Unfortunately, it was meaningless. In front of absolute power, your fake power meant absolute
"Everything was an act that you directed yourself! Your acting is so good that even I almost believed all of this!" Liza could not be bothered by Harvey's explanation as she was drowned in her own rage. "Someone like you can lie to the entire world, but you can't lie to someone as smart as us! All the other overseas Martial Arts Alliance will fight you till the end! We won't allow someone like you to have such a high position within the Alliance!"And then, Liza pulled out the one last syringe and stabbed it into herself. Then, she moved. She roared as she pounced toward Harvey's location.Bang!Charlotte instinctively stepped before Harvey, using her hands to block Liza's attack wave. However, she did not expect that after Liza had injected herself with so much drug, not only had her power increased, but her entire combat capabilities also had improved.Charlotte, who could normally crush Liza, was forced back after one single punch. She only stopped after she slid almost 30 feet
