“Don’t be too stubborn, Harvey York!“You’re still young! There are things that you still can’t handle!Ai Kamino blew out a puff of smoke before he sat up straight.“I admit that I have underestimated you.“But even if you have the Torres family with you, you have no right to do as you please!“For instance, you should be respecting me right now.“After all, you have no right to go against the person behind me.”Then, Ai snapped his fingers before his secretary walked over with a case.Ai opened the case and took out a business card before setting it right on Harvey’s coffee table.Clyde Osborne!There was nothing else on the card besides wild scribbles of the name!The calligraphy felt powerful yet elegant. An aura of invincibility and dominance could be felt just by merely looking at the card!“Clyde Osborne?”Harvey frowned. He was not familiar with the name.Ai showed a profound look on his face.“That’s right. Prince Osborne himself.“I visited his place before co
“Seems like you’re no ordinary person either. At least you have some experience.“You wouldn’t be able to guess that Prince Osborne is from one of the five hidden families if that weren’t the case.Ai Kamino nodded with pride and confidence, blatantly showing on his face.“Since you know what sort of person Prince Osborne is, I’m sure we’ll have a great talk.”Ai then took out a list before throwing it right before Harvey York.Other than Mrs. Lee’s compensation, Film City’s losses for the past few days were also written on the list, along with Senior Miller’s medical fees among other things. Every single thing was written in detail.“You’ll have to compensate for the amount listed here tenfold. Do you understand me?” said Ai while squinting at Harvey.Harvey merely shrugged before showing a smile on his face.“If I wasn’t looking closely, I really thought you were the one compensating my sister-in-law’s losses.“Heh!”Ai disdained Harvey’s sharp tongue. At this moment, he lo
At that moment, a dozen Longmen disciples were following Bowen Lee. It was a truly dominant and spectacular sight.Ai Kamino instinctively stood up as soon as he saw Bowen.He respectfully nodded before smiling coldly at Harvey York.“Speak of the devil.“You’re finished, kid.“Looks like Branch Leader Lee’s in a bad mood…“I don’t think I can help you at this point.“You’re on your own.”After hearing Ai’s words and Bowen’s gloomy expression, Senior Miller and the beautiful women were all looking at Harvey gleefully.‘All this guy does is show off!’‘Who knew that karma would bite back this quick?!’‘Not only is he going against Mr. Kamino, even Branch Leader Lee is here to trample all over him!’Under Ai’s exhilarated gaze, Bowen walked briskly toward Harvey before slamming his knees on the ground.The people behind him kneeled in unison with horrified expressions on their faces.Ai froze before instinctively gasping.“What are you doing, Branch Leader Lee?”Bowen com
Harvey York walked up and patted Ai Kamino’s face before he sighed.“Even Joseph Bauer couldn’t protect Mrs. Lee…“Even Longmen couldn’t keep Bowen Lee safe.“Then, what makes you think Clyde Osborne can enable you to flaunt your strength here?“I didn’t want to deal with you anymore, but I’ll indulge you if you insist on butting in.”Harvey then slowly tore the business card to pieces.The beautiful women were heartbroken, as if Harvey had committed a heinous crime.Ai’s expression also frantically changed.“How dare you tear Prince Osborne’s card, you b*stard?!“You have a death wish or something?!”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Ai’s face.“I’m not so sure about that…“But I know that you’re looking for yours right now.“Come.“Call the cops.Harvey’s word was enough to seal Ai’s face.“Ai Kamino tried to blackmail me for a hundred and fifty million dollars! Punish him according to the law!”***In just half an hour, Vivian Hall and her team took A
Ai Kamino immediately trotted toward Clyde Osborne before respectfully bowing.“Prince Osborne.”Clyde rinsed his mouth with the seventy-six thousand dollar Red Robe Tea before he said, “Do you think this is a scenic spot, Ai?”Those calm words were enough to astound Ai.He came here on the same morning, but then he showed up once again.This could only mean that Ai did not deal with the arrogant young man he had previously talked about.Not only that, but he also probably lost his reputation in the process.If not, he would not have shown up that quickly.Cold sweat was dripping down Ai’s entire body.“I’m sorry, Prince Osborne. I have tarnished your name. I couldn’t carry out my job properly,” he apologized quietly with his arms on the side.“I wanted to reclaim your reputation for what happened before. That was why I asked for your business card.“But that man tore the card apart and even sent all of us to jail.Ai would not dare lie to Clyde about a single thing.“Righ
After hearing Ai Kamino’s words, Clyde Osborne comfortably leaned on his seat while enjoying the service of two beautiful handmaidens.“It’s already pretty impressive having the Torres family backing him for this long.“You may not know this, but the Wright family also has connections with the Torres family.“Even the Bauer family might not go up against them!“With the Torres family’s support, he does have the right to flaunt his strength in Flutwell!”“The Wright family?Ai’s facial expression changed slightly.“The Big Boss’s family?”Clyde merely showed a faint smile.“Flutwell might only seem like the borderland of the southwest region, but its waters are deeper than anyone can imagine.“Harvey has been popping up everywhere, challenging everyone in his wake. I even received reports that he went against the Indians recently.“I’m guessing he might be one of the Torres family’s pawns!”Ai could not look away when he showed envy toward Clyde being served by two goddesses
“Oh? How beautiful are we talking about here?”Clyde Osborne seemed to perk up after hearing Ai Kamino’s words.Ai already prepared a few pictures on his phone this morning to send to Clyde.Clyde looked at his phone for a moment before he burst out laughing.“One’s a mature housewife, and the other’s an innocent school beauty. Interesting. These two are really intriguing…“Since it’s rare to get sisters like them, I’ll have to take action myself.Clyde then waved at the secretary not far from him.“Call Commissioner Thompson.”***While Clyde was making a phone call, Harvey York did not even care about the incident anymore.After taking care of Xynthia Zimmer, he called a cab to the center of Flutwell while curiously looking through the contracts.He came to an antique Budokan. It was as silent as the grave.The Budokan has more than a decade’s history. Bowen Lee inherited the place from his father. The name of the place was called the Martial Hall.The name was very clas
“There are about a hundred students here in the Martial Hall.“Teachers used not to have time for the students…“That was why we hired ten instructors to teach them.“Every instructor is an expert martial artist from a well-known family.“They are in charge of ten students each. They also do a pretty good job.“There’s no need for you to manage the Martial Hall after you take over.“With these instructors here, all you need to do is collect the money.Dillon Lee showed a pleasing look on his face.“You might not know since you haven’t seen the ledger, Sir York.“It wouldn’t be hard for the Martial Hall to earn fifteen million dollars annually.”Harvey was surprised.“You can get this much money just by teaching?”Dillon showed a proud expression.“Well, of course. The branch leader of Longmen’s Flutwell branch is teaching here. Training in this place is the same as being Longmen’s outer disciple. Anyone will look good when they enroll here.“Many wealthy heirs were willin
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,
