The crowd was shocked.Everyone was looking at Harvey with disbelief. Nobody expected that Harvey would actually do something like this to deal with Elanor’s trick.In fact, only Elanor would usually do this to the others.It was the first time that she was getting trampled on like this.Mandy froze. She found herself getting a little sluggish as well.She didn’t think that Harvey would do something so simple yet so rash.That said, she couldn’t change anything at this point.Even if she was worried sick, she could only pretend to be calm while standing behind Harvey.“You…”“You b*stard! How dare you shoot the bull?!”“The Fifth Mistress’ bull at that!”“Can you even bear the consequences of doing such a thing?!”The crowd was in an uproar. Some of them flipped the coffee tables in front of them before bouncing off the couch.A few bodyguards pulled out their firearms and took off the safeties before pointing them fiercely right at Harvey.The other guards got word of wh
“No matter who you are, here, you’re only allowed to bow!”“A powerful man who falls is more inferior compared to the common folk!” Elanor said with a haughty grin.“Only a powerful man would dare challenge someone like you, after all,” Harvey replied calmly.Everyone was shocked after hearing Harvey’s words.His tone and actions weren’t just disrespecting Elanor—he was trampling all over her!Elanor had a profound look as she stared at Harvey. Then, she took a sip of her Cappuccino.“Since you’re so dominant, let’s not talk about who’s stronger for now.”“Let’s talk about fairness instead.”“Since this is a gamble, we’ll at least have to talk about that, right?”“The match hasn’t even been decided yet, and you already shot the yellow bull dead. You’re deliberately breaking the rules here!”“You think you can please the crowd by doing something like that?”“Please the crowd?”Harvey chuckled. He strode forward with his arms crossed.“Is pleasing the crowd really that impor
Harvey ignored the man and smiled at Elanor instead.“Looks like you’re not a good enough teacher, CEO Stanton.”“Your dog’s barking up a storm while the master’s talking.”“This doesn’t seem high-class at all. In fact, this feels pretty backwards, don’t you think?”“What did you say, you b*stard?!”“Say it again one more time!”The pompous-looking man glared fiercely at Harvey, an unspeakable aura seeping out of him.“My hearing isn't that good! Say it again, why don’t you?”“If I hear something I don’t like, I’ll strangle you till you die!”The man rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach Harvey a lesson he’d never forget.“Go look for a doctor, then,” Harvey replied calmly.“You have no right to demand that I repeat my words.”Fwoosh!The man was instantly agitated; he took a step forward and threw a punch right at Harvey’s face.The punch was quite terrifying. It was enough to make people think that he was an expert.Everyone could already imagine what would happen to H
“You’re crossing the line, Harvey.”“Don’t forget one thing…”“This is Flutwell!”“This place belongs to the Bauer family! You can’t just cause trouble here as you please!”Elanor gave a cold look soon after.Many of her people unsheathed their daggers and took off the safeties of their firearms, their faces fierce. Just like Elanor said, this was Flutwell.Harvey was just an outsider.It didn’t matter what kind of achievements Harvey had…In these people’s eyes, he was still inferior compared to them.They believed that with just a single word from Elanor…They’d be able to turn Harvey into a minced meat without any hesitation.Even the dogs were constantly barking, as if they were about to rip Harvey and Mandy to shreds.Mandy’s face had lost a bit of color.She had experienced things like this a few times, but she was still afraid of it. She was a powerless woman, after all. This was only natural.Harvey, on the other hand, glanced calmly at his surroundings.“We’re
The people surrounding Harvey glared at him disdainfully.‘He talks big!’‘Now what?’‘All he can do is show off in front of a woman!’‘Just look for Jeff if you’re so impressive!’‘What a joke!’“A gift?”Harvey narrowed his eyes, but his face was expressionless. “Am I supposed to bring him flowers at his grave as well?”“He might get angry if I don’t!”Bam!Elanor kicked the coffee table in front of her.“How dare you insult Young Master Bauer, you b*stard!” she exclaimed furiously.“I’m insulting him?”Harvey chuckled before turning around.“Tell him I want my money tomorrow afternoon.”“If not, I’ll add ten percent interest every day.”“If he still doesn’t give the money back by then…”“I’ll make sure to put him in the grave!”Harvey then walked away while holding Mandy’s hand.Elanor chuckled coldly.“How dare you threaten Young Master Bauer! Let me tell you something! If you can walk out of this door alive, I’ll call you Daddy!”“Get him!”Eleanor’s bodygu
Mandy sighed.“But judging from Elanor’s attitude, she wouldn’t give up that easily.”“If she gets reckless and starts convincing Jeff to fight us…”“We’ll be in a lot of trouble, won’t we?”Naturally, Mandy understood Elanor’s behavior quite well.Harvey smiled.“The Bauer family is split three ways. Every single young master was chosen by the master himself.”“Naturally, they’re not ordinary people.”“Or rather, they’re definitely smart people.”“Of course, our tactics might be useful, but it might not make Jeff give in that easily.”Mandy froze.“So, do you mean…?”“We have to act fast, of course.” Harvey smiled.“But there’s no rush.”“We gave him three days.”“If he still doesn’t know how to choose…”“I’ll just teach him again.”…Harvey put the thought to the back of his head and focused on the Longmen Summit for the time being.Early in the following morning, Harvey showed up at the Flutwell Gymnasium for the provincial qualifiers.The event looked a lot mo
A man in a suit walked out soon after. He had a stubble, similar to someone from the Island Nations.He was a lot taller than the people there. A fierce and dominant aura could be felt on him.Harvey glanced curiously at the man. Then, he realized that the man looked quite similar to Larisa.He could tell that the man was none other than Bowen Lee, the branch leader of Longmen’s Flutwell branch.A few officers read out a bunch of nonsense before introducing the jury and examiners.After that, Bowen walked on stage and looked calmly in front of him.“Aside from the strength to walk the underworld…”“Everyone knows that the most important thing is to learn the Art of Killing from different schools and curses.”“The goal is to not teach you how to kill, but to have the strength to protect yourself when met with odd situations!”“That’s why this test will be a lot different than before!”“By my judgment, I have someone here who was cursed by something unknown!”“It’s why she’s i
Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing Bowen’s words.This was the Longmen Summit—it should be a place to brawl to one’s heart’s content.Why were they forced to treat someone, of all things?Even so, Bowen’s words made a lot of sense. Hence, nobody dared to refute him.Even Fisher couldn’t help but rub his head. He was unsure if he should try to talk Bowen out of this or remain silent.Kori, on the other hand, was filled with glee. Her eyes fell on Harvey immediately. She was certain Harvey would never be able to pass a test like this!Even if Harvey had been practicing martial arts when he was still in his mother’s womb, he wouldn’t be able to deal with a curse.After all, the underworld was an extremely dangerous place full of the unknown.Imagining Harvey embarrassing himself and getting disqualified, Kori felt exhilarated.“Right! Begin!”Bowen took a step back, his expression stern, and gestured to everyone to keep quiet.The first examinee was a short-haired woman.
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
Bart coughed out a mouthful of blood after being slapped. Even a few teeth were in the blood as he looked completely out of his element. He wanted to stand up and fight against Harvey until the end, but he finally discovered that his arrogance and power meant nothing before Harvey."Harvey! You've crossed a line!" Zoe finally could not sit still and threw the cup she held onto the floor. Then, she pointed his finger at Harvey and yelled, "Do you even know what you're doing? Don't you know we have hundreds of hostages? Do you think we're still fighting in an arena in Flutwell?"So what if you can fight? So what if you're the representative? The Second Caste succeeded in a military coup! We have millions of soldiers and countless weapons! No matter how powerful you are, do you think they're more powerful than modern firearms? Regardless of your influence, do you think it's enough to suppress a country? No matter how rich you are, can you buy the entire Country I?"I'm warning you now,
