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
Jeff didn’t hold back from looking at Clare. He flashed her a faint smile.“If you don’t mind, why don’t you join me in my place later?”“Let’s have some fun drinking together.”Langston pretended not to hear what his daughter was planning, and held his glass up.After having a few sips, he then said with a smile, “I heard something happened on your end recently, Young Master Bauer.”“Rumors have been spreading about an ignorant outsider demanding money from you!”“I heard he even shot one of your bulls!”“How could this happen in a place like Flutwell? Does the law not matter to him?”“If you don’t mind, I’ll deal with that man for you.”“I’ll teach him to respect his elders!”“I’ll do everything it takes to help you!”There were many people like Langston within the Osborne family.Collateral relatives like him were destined to be doomed for the rest of their lives.Thus, he desperately found a way to attend the charity event.Even if it meant selling out his own daughte
The banquet, which was filled with cheer and laughter, immediately went silent. Everyone instinctively looked toward the entrance.“What on earth?”“What’s wrong?”“Did someone ram Charity Garden’s gate?”“Are you kidding me?! Doesn’t that guy know that Jeff Bauer is hosting the event?”“It doesn’t matter if the event gets trashed, but ruining Young Master Bauer’s mood isn’t going to be pretty!”As the crowd was wrapped in utter shock…Jeff glanced at the gate curiously.A loud sound could be heard from the entrance once again.The gate that was barely hanging on was rammed once more.Several bodyguards of the Bauer family were sent flying as well.The Toyota Prado, which was responsible for ruining the gate, drove steadily into Charity Garden, dominant and fearless. The beautiful women screamed in fear. They couldn’t bear to see such a bloody sight.Clare’s warm smile immediately vanished.“How dare someone cause trouble in Young Master Bauer’s place!”“Who is it?!”“
As he smiled at Harvey, Jeff quietly made a gesture.Dozens of the Bauer family bodyguards swarmed the entire place. They looked frighteningly ferocious. Jeff was an experienced man; he knew Harvey would probably kill his way here. That was why Jeff was prepared for this occasion.Bang, bang, bang!Without giving Harvey a chance to speak, the bodyguards instantly pulled the trigger. Bullets flew all over the place like fireworks.Harvey calmly took a step back and dodged every single bullet in the nick of time. He twirled the firearm in his hand before pulling the trigger.“Aaagh!”Pfft!Screams rang all over the place. In just a single minute, the bodyguards were all lying in puddles of blood, paralyzed. Their bodies were twitching, and they couldn’t do anything.A few snipers, who were already on high ground, were easily spotted by Harvey.Before they could take the shot, they were completely suppressed by Harvey’s fire.As the snipers fell, those who were carefully place
Seeing the well-laid snipers and bodyguards gunned down that easily, Jeff’s smile froze instantly.He knew he would get in trouble when he kidnapped Mandy.Thus, he got the Skipjack Gang and all the firepower he had to aid him. He wanted to let Harvey know who was the bigger man.Based on what just happened, though, it seemed Harvey’s abilities went beyond his imagination.“Jeff Bauer.”Harvey calmly took off the safety of his gun.“I’ll ask you again: where’s my wife?”“You’re Harvey, right?!”“What are you trying to do?”Clare was quite afraid when she saw Harvey’s fierce look, but she still stepped up with gritted teeth.“Do you know what this place is?”“This is the Charity Garden!”“Us from the upper social circle are doing charity work right now!”“Country bumpkins aren’t allowed here!”“You can’t just barge in here and do as you please!”“Leave! Stop trying to show off!”“If not, you won’t be able to bear the responsibility for this!”Slap!Harvey swung the b
Jeff was confident—he took everything quite casually…As if he had the situation under control.The mistress calmly nodded before standing behind Jeff while covering her face.Jeff slowly moved the firearm on his head away from his head with a finger. Then, he looked curiously at Harvey.“Sir York.”“You come here causing all this trouble and hurting so many of my bodyguards. You even hit two of my women!”“I have to admit, you’re pretty impressive. You’re quite cocky, aren’t you?”“If this was any other day, I would’ve fought you to the death.”“But this is a charity event. We have a lot of respectable guests here.”“I can’t just let my guests be in danger because of my recklessness now, can I?”Cheers could be heard from all over the place after Jeff spoke.‘As expected from the head of the Bauer family’s young masters! Of course he’d protect the safety of his guests! No ordinary man would be able to do something like this!’At the same time, they were all glaring hateful
“Even if Young Master Bauer played with your woman, it’s still her own damn fault!”“Right! You can’t make him take responsibility for this!”“How can you just murder everyone here for a woman like that?!”The crowd fell in an uproar, acting as if Harvey was just looking for trouble.Slap!Harvey ignored them and swung the back of his palm across Jeff’s face resolutely.“Some rich playboy you are.”“You think you can do whatever you want? You’re getting a little ahead of yourself.”“Can’t you see who’s in control here?”“I decide if you live or die.”“Why should I give you proof?”“You should think whether you’re going to give me my woman quietly, or convince me that she isn’t here.”Harvey slapped Jeff across the face once again.“If not, don’t blame me for slipping my finger.”“When that happens, I’ll definitely compensate for your family’s loss.”“Ngh!”Jeff grunted as he stumbled, almost losing his footing in the process.Two vivid palm prints appeared on his face,
Jeff shot Harvey a mocking look. “There’s a saying: give a dog a bad name, then hang it!”“Even if I prove my innocence, judging from how arrogant you’ve been acting, you’d probably look for another excuse to give me a bad name, wouldn’t you?”“But trust me. When I die, you’ll be joining me soon after!”“And not just you—your family and friends will pay for the price too!”“Your ancestors will be dug out from the ground just to be burned to a crisp!”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Jeff’s face again, making the latter stumble backward.“You’re threatening me?” Harvey sneered coldly.“You think this is going to work?”“Besides, do you really think that I have no proof?”“There were bodyguards from Longmen’s Law Enforcement with my wife.”“Since they wouldn’t dare fight back, they were all crippled before they were sent to the hospital unconscious!”“My wife’s body is nowhere to be found, even until now!”Harvey’s gaze immediately turned a few degrees colder
