While Commissioner Thompson was showing utter disbelief, Nelson Torres walked up and tapped his shoulder.“Sir York is my brother’s good friend. I also look up to him. More importantly, my father is deeply indebted to this man.“Along with Head Balmer and Vice Head Hardy here…“Aren’t you supposed to pay some respect to all of us?”“Or are you saying you want my father to show up here too?“Or rather, would you like to invite the very person you’re supposed to protect?”At that moment, Commissioner Thompson’s face had completely lost all color.Nelson coldly chuckled before slapping Commissioner Thompson to the ground with the back of his palm.“Aaagh!”Commissioner Thompson’s face was utterly swollen when he was slammed onto the ground. Even a tooth came out from his mouth after taking the slap in the face.If it were not for Ai Kamino’s help, he would not even be able to stand up that time.Judging from this, it was clear that Nelson was standing up for Harvey. The slap wa
The wealthy lady from a second-rate family had quite the identity…But she knew full well that she was just a plaything for Commissioner Thompson and people like him.She would not resent Commissioner Thompson, nor would she dare go against the people who seemed to be way more impressive than him.She had no other choice but to glare at Harvey York.She believed that she only got humiliated to this point because of the kept man before her.Without him, why would she even be kicked in the stomach by the person she adored?This was just unforgivable!Harvey could feel the hatred in the woman’s eyes, but he could be bothered at all.Pigs could fly if a woman who could only trample on the weak managed to be successful in anything.Commissioner Thompson rubbed his face before forcing out a smile.“My apologies, Mr. Torres and everyone here.“This b*tch was just being ignorant.“I’ll apologize in her stead.”Then, Commissioner Thompson bowed respectfully.He was a core figure o
Commissioner Thompson’s expression changed.Every powerful figure in this day and age surely has a dark history behind them.Those things were not usually that threatening, but they would surely crumble if someone thoroughly investigated every detail. After seeing Nelson Torres’ look on his face, Commissioner Thompson’s expression frantically changed.He wanted to give in and see if he could redeem himself…But who knew that it would end up like this?He was finished!Not just his future, but his wealth was also about to be robbed from him!Commissioner Thompson showed a deathly glare at Ai Kamino.He would not have gone against Harvey if not for the person in front of him.He would not have ended up this way.All the wealthy ladies covered their mouths in shock.They did not think that Nelson and the others were this capable of dealing with someone like Commissioner Thompson.Senior Miller covered his swollen face with a horrible expression on his face.He realized he h
Nelson Torres’ face was devoid of any smile. Only a stern look was showing on him, as if he represented the law itself.“If you went against the Torres family or me, we would’ve let it slide for the sake of Prince Osborne.“But since you went against Sir York, you said and did things that you shouldn’t have let me hear or see…“I can’t afford to let this slide for the sake of justice and fairness!“Commissioner Thompson will resign tomorrow!“Of course, if you have nothing to fear, you can just ignore the fact that I’ll be conducting thorough investigations on every single one of you here.”Commissioner Thompson’s eyes frantically twitched.‘Nothing to fear?!’He knew full well about the things he did.He would surely suffer if he were investigated.Compared to that, he would rather just give up his position without making a fuss about it.Without a second thought, Commissioner Thompson’s face was filled with pain and unbridled rage.He wanted to lash out. He wanted to beat
Kayden Balmer was not hard to deal with…Rachel Hardy was not to go against either…But with the Torres family…Clyde Osborne would probably be fine.But Commissioner Thompson would definitely have to give up his position.Ai Kamino’s Capital Gang would also be completely taken down. The Gang of Six was definitely about to change.Both of them could not accept that fact…But they had no way to escape from the situation either.“You’re not going to convince them otherwise, Harvey York?!“These prominent figures are declaring an all-out war because of you! What do you think you’ll get out of this?!The wealthy lady kicked in the stomach could not help but speak up. Her gaze was filled with hate and resentment as she glared at Harvey.“You’ve already gotten so much out of this because of your woman!“Don’t you know when to stop?!“Do you know how many people will die if these people go against each other?! Flutwell will be thrown into chaos!“Not only are you not de-escalati
“Stop while I can?Harvey York showed a curious look on his face.Soon after, he calmly sized up Ai Kamino.“Things are only just starting. After getting this many people involved, I’d feel bad if I ended it right now.“That said, you’re right about one thing. I shouldn’t be causing trouble to the others here.Harvey took out his phone with a smile on his face.“I’ll deal with the Capital Gang on my own instead.”“Oh? Is there a point for you to show off in front of us?“Are you going to deal with the Capital Gang?“Are you even worthy?The wealthy lady scoffed with a derisive look on her face.“Without the Torres family, Longmen’s Law Enforcement, and the Hatchet Gang, how else are you supposed to show off?“With your mouth? Or with that tiny brain of yours?“What can you even do?She glared at Harvey coldly.‘A man who doesn’t belong to either the top ten families or the five hidden families, a man whom I haven’t even seen in the upper social circle, dares to go agains
“Do you know just how many branches of the Capital Gang are in Flutwell? Do you know how many fighters are in each of those branches?“You understand nothing yet want to destroy the Capital Gang?“What a joke!“Keep on dreaming!”The beautiful women were laughing their stomachs off.They were enjoying the show too much! This was all too exciting!They did not think they would be able to see a clown performing right before their eyes!Ai Kamino pulled out a thin and long cigar before lighting it up.As long as Nelson Torres and the others did not take action, he would not be scared at all.Senior Miller’s phone suddenly rang. He froze up momentarily before putting the phone beside his ear.The moment he heard something from the other side, his facial expression instantly darkened.Ai had a bad feeling about the situation after seeing the sight.“What happened?” asked Ai instinctively.Bam!Senior Miller slammed his knees on the ground in disbelief.“This is bad, Mr. Kamin
Ai’s face lost all color as soon as he heard Harvey’s words.“Things won’t end this way, Harvey!” he exclaimed.“You’re no match for Prince Osborne, even if you’re this cunning!”“He’ll make sure you’re dead for good!”“I’ll be waiting for you behind bars!”Under the crowd’s shocked gaze, Ai was slapped in the face twice by one of the inspectors after he ran his mouth. He was kicked inside the trunk of the car soon after.…The day after Ai was thrown behind bars…Clyde was training in his garden as usual.When he was finally done, he sat under a balcony and waited for his servants to bring him breakfast.Clyde valued his mornings more than anything else.He believed successful people would never sleep in. People like that should train themselves early in the morning to keep their bodies strong and their minds sober.He would use the shortest amount of time to finish every single one of his tasks.The time that was left would be used to enjoy himself…When his servants brou
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
Harvey stood behind Clarion as he looked at all these men and women in their luxurious outfits. Other than the heirs of the large families from Grand City, Harvey could not really tell how powerful they were. Harvey even noticed quite a few mutant elites from Country A. All of them gathered together and all the topics they discussed about were extremely sophisticated, making them feel that they were the most important individuals in this world.Other than these people, she saw a woman wearing purple traditional garb in the middle of the group. She could not tell the woman's age, but her figure was slender and curvaceous. She carried an esteemed imposition. Or perhaps, it was better to describe her imposition as queen-like.She held an exquisite hookah in her hand that was made from gold. She would sometimes take a puff before blowing out a stream of smoke, as if she were some kind of empress.Quite a few men would glance at her before averting their eyes, as if they were too afraid
Every word Clarion heard from Jade made his expression turn even darker. When she finished, Clarion almost wanted to stomp on the woman even as he suppressed his anger. Just when Clarion was going to slap Jade in the face as she deserved, Neve stopped him.Neve then took a golden card from her Hermes handbag and gave it to Jade. "I have a member card. This is the card your madam gave to me when the Platinum Casino was first established. I believe you will accept this."Neve never paid much attention to the card when she first received it and simply kept it in her handbag. She did not expect it to have some use today. "This is one out of the fifty member cards the casino gave out at the beginning. I was told it gives me the highest privilege. You won't deny this, will you?"While Neve was smiling, her words were cold and harsh. "If you won't, then I can assume the Platinum Casino has a problem with the Fosters of the Universal Sect. I will then report this to my grandfather."Clario
The woman was beaming at Clarion and said, "Everyone knows who you are in Grand City, sir. My name is Jade Bierstadt, and I'm your biggest fan. Although I'm a fan, I still need to obey the rules here. It will be bad for society if everyone can simply break the rules, right?"In other words, it's not because I have something against you. But it's because I have no choice as this is my duty. Since I'm making a living here, I need to perform my duties to earn my salary, correct? So, please forgive us and show us workers some mercy. But if you must ignore the rules here, then I'm afraid I'll have no choice…"And then, Jade gently clapped her hands. A group of men-in-black slowly walked out of the VIP passage after that. There were also some clicking sounds from the high ground some distance away, as several men started to parade their sniper rifles.The Platinum Casino had truly demonstrated their superiority today.Harvey narrowed his eyes. He had quickly determined that whether it wa
