While Clyde was preparing a surprise for Harvey…At the Bauer family’s courtyard inside Flutwell.Elanor strutted into the Bauer family’s most well-known entertainment spot while scrolling through the documents on her phone.Jeff was training with a few wolfhounds, his defined muscles on his body clearly visible.The wolfhounds had been starving for days. They had fierce and ruthless expressions, as if they had completely forgotten who their master was. All they thought about was food to fill their stomachs.Jeff remained as steady as a rock even in front of the starving dogs; every punch he threw was enough to send the dogs flying.Jeff was in a playful state before he saw Elanor. He instantly grabbed one of the dogs with both hands and twisted its neck, drawing its final breath.After throwing the dead dog to the ground as food for the rest, Jeff took the warm water his servants brought and wiped his body with it.He then respectfully walked toward Elanor.“You’re early toda
Elanor took a deep breath.“According to my reports, Prince Osborne hasn’t done anything major yet. He’s probably shocked by what he heard.”“After all, Harvey is a tough nut to crack. He’s been dominant during his time in Flutwell recently.”Jeff chuckled lightly after hearing those words. An unspeakable aura of power could be felt on him.“Interesting. Very interesting!”“Someone dares to act this arrogant in front of me in this day and age?”“My two brothers are quite prominent figures as well. They have no choice but to behave themselves in front of me anyway.”“No matter how strong Harvey actually is, he’s still just a castaway from the Yorks of Hong Kong!”“What can he even do besides being a kept man?”“Run his mouth? Ha!”“Or does he think he’s impressive because he killed Cody?”“He’s just a mortal no matter how impressive he is at martial arts! He’s no match against planes and cannons!”Jeff’s face was frosty. “If I wanted it, I’d have an entire army against hi
“With Harvey, we’ll be able to stir up trouble behind the scenes.”“We’ll use the opportunity to deal with both Joseph and Ken in one go.”“This plan can only be beneficial to us.”Elanor told Jeff her thoughts. This was her plan to succeed after getting information about the situation.After all, she could only rise if Jeff does the same.Her wealth and glory was attached to Jeff.“You’re right.”Jeff nodded.“That said, am I just going to humiliate myself in front of him?” “Am I compromising for a mere outsider?”“If word spreads about this, I’ll be utterly humiliated!”For Jeff, his pride was more important than anything else.He had never bowed down to anyone his entire life. Yet, he was about to do that to an outsider?This was unforgivable!“I know what you’re thinking, Young Master,” Elanor said.“This is a bit embarrassing for you, yes. Your image will be affected if anyone else knows about this.”“But if we look at the bigger picture, working together with Ha
“Alright, enough of this talk. Let’s have some breakfast.”Jeff smiled.“Another thing. While you were coming here, I already sent someone to grab Mandy.”“Harvey’s pretty impressive, right?’“If he finds out where we took his wife and saves her…”“Then I’ll acknowledge his strength!”“If he doesn’t manage to get his wife tomorrow this time…”“I’ll sell her to the Dark Island!”“The chiefs there love tender-looking women like her the most!”Jeff revealed his dominance.“I’d like to see how Harvey will react!”Elanor’s eyes twitched.“You’ll get Harvey furious if you do!”“There’ll be no going back if things go south!”“Didn’t you say he was impressive?”Jeff chuckled coldly.“You wanted him to stand by me and be my ally, right?”“Well, now I’m giving him a chance to show off!”“I’d like to see how he’ll fight back!”“If he can’t scare me, then what right does he have to go against Joseph?”“What right does he have to be my weapon?”“He wouldn’t be worthy!”“Even i
“Maybe, what?” Harvey asked, frowning.“Maybe it was someone from Longmen with a powerful status.”“Judging from the scene, the disciples didn’t even unsheathe their swords yet.”“If it weren’t someone like that suppressing them, this wouldn’t even happen.”Harvey let out a sigh of relief.“Who would have this much power to frighten people from the Law Enforcement?”“There are a few.”“The master of Longmen’s personal bodyguards.”“The three young masters of the Bauer family.”“The people from the Elder Group.”Rachel had a horrible expression.“It’s not that the Law Enforcement can’t deal with them! A lot of the disciples are from Flutwell!”“They wouldn’t dare go against them!”Harvey’s gaze turned cold.“We had a conflict with the Elder Group before, but we’ve never met since then.”“The same goes with the Seventh Young Master.”“Joseph suffered a big loss because of me. He has no time to deal with his problems right now. Why would he come for me?”“The only person
In the evening, A Toyota Prado charged right at the Charity Garden where the event would be held.There was no proof, but judging from the clues and aspects of various conditions, Harvey was sure that Jeff had Mandy hostage.If this was any other time, he would’ve calculated the risks and gathered evidence before taking action.However, he couldn’t wait any longer since his wife was involved.According to his intel, Jeff was a stubborn man who would do as he pleased.Compared to the self-proclaimed strategist, Joseph, who was quite methodical in his actions…Not only was Jeff harder to deal with, but his way of doing things was even more insane.Harvey had no confidence in guaranteeing Mandy would come out of the situation unscathed.He drove the car at lightning speed, charging past red lights and going through shortcuts just to get to the Charity Garden as soon as he could.At the same time, he gave George a call so the latter would hack into the place and send the schematic
Bang, bang, bang!A fighter peeked outside the car window and shot at the Toyota Prado in front without hesitation.Harvey’s gaze turned cold when he heard the gunshots behind him. He intentionally slowed down the car.The moment the leading G-Wagon charged forward, Harvey furiously turned the steering wheel and stepped on the brake.His car drifted right into the G-Wagon, slamming right into it.The G-Wagon let out a horrible sound as it spun in place.Using the momentum of the car, Harvey steered the wheel right into the second G-Wagon.The driver of the G-Wagon instinctively steered away out of fear, but it was still rammed to the side of the road.Vincent, who was a little behind, revealed a horrible look on his face when he saw such driving skills.He knew that Jeff’s enemies were all extraordinary, but he didn’t think that Harvey would be this insane.“You think we’re easy to deal with, you b*stard?!”Seeing Harvey’s arrogant attitude, a fighter in the third G-Wagon op
When the sun finally set, the bustling Charity Garden was lit up with bright lights.Not just the hall, but even the courtyard and field were filled with people.Prominent figures from all around Flutwell were gathered here. Together with the staff members, there were about a thousand people there.This was an extremely grand charity event.The people who came were donating their love to those in need.The exquisite-looking long table was filled with all sorts of refreshments, pastry, and wine.The guest would occasionally have some food while chatting up a storm, exchanging business cards in the process. It was quite the friendly sight.The host of the charity event was none other than the head of the three Bauer family’s young masters, Jeff Bauer.The people who showed up here were considered to be extremely powerful or wealthy.More importantly, they showed up to prove their loyalty to Jeff in his fight for the throne.If Jeff were to rise to power, the people who showed u
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
