“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
While Harvey was busy slapping Jeff relentlessly…A bodyguard of the Bauer family charged forward courageously as he took off the safety of his firearm.“You little b*stard!” he yelled fiercely as he pointed at Harvey.“How dare you talk to the young master like that! Who gave you the courage?!”“Not only are you blaming Young Master Bauer for something he didn’t do, but you’re also humiliating him in front of everyone!”“Young Master Bauer was generous enough to leave you alone!”“But I will not allow you to act like this in front of him, no matter what!”Naturally, the bodyguard was already quite infuriated at Harvey.He waved his firearm around, looking confident.“Come at me if you dare!”“If not, I’ll f*cking kill you!”Harvey smiled at the bodyguard.Bang!He swiftly moved the firearm placed on Jeff’s head and pulled the trigger.“Aaagh!”The bodyguard screamed in pain before lying on the ground, covering his injured hand.His firearm had been completely pierced b
Jeff seemed afraid, but the calm yet mocking look in his gaze never faded away.“I can’t prove my innocence.”“There’s no need for me to do such a thing, either.”“If you want to blame me for this so badly, then just shoot me already!”“I even show you a single frown right now, I’ll be nothing more than a coward!”Jeff grabbed a glass of 1982 Lafite wine on the table and took a large swig.He then spread his arms wide, with a smile on his face.“I believe that the world is just.”“Everyone here will surely bring me justice for this!”Upon hearing Jeff’s words, Clare’s expression changed constantly. She stood up, gritting her teeth.“If you lay even a single finger on Young Master Bauer…”“Not just the Bauer family, the Osborne family will fight you to the death as well!” she exclaimed coldly.“You should know what the top ten families and the five hidden families represent!”“Are you sure you want yourself, your family, and your friends to be in danger because of your arro
A group of people in black robes charged into Charity Garden, swords in hand.Their heads were raised high, and their hands were heavily callused. It was apparent that they were experts.They moved orderly and surrounded Jeff’s men as soon as they got inside.Langston looked horrified. “Rachel?! What are you doing here with your men?”Clare was immediately furious.“ Longmen’s Law Enforcement have no business being here!”“You think you can get yourself involved in anything that you want?!”The rest of the crowd watched with frantically twitching eyes.Everyone in Flutwell knew what Longmen’s Law Enforcement represented.They were Longmen’s police force.Not only were they powerful, but they also wielded powerful authority. They were granted special permission to take out whoever was necessary before making their reports by the royal court.Recently, Rachel had been rising to power within Flutwell’s upper social circle.A lot of people understood how she operated.Whi
“I’d like to see how you’ll get out of the situation after acting so high and mighty!”“You’ll regret it soon enough! You’ll pay for your ignorance!”The mistresses bore ugly, wretched looks.They were already used to Jeff’s arrogance and dominant attitude.Usually, they would usually be the ones humiliating others behind Jeff.When had they been on the receiving end? Thus, they couldn’t accept this fact.Rachel showed no emotion, unaffected by their outbursts.“Even if God shows up in the flesh, I’ll still stand with Sir York!”“Anyone who goes after him, dies!”Langston and the others were horrified. Everyone knew Rachel was the vice head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement. She was considered to be half a citizen of Flutwell.Despite that, she was working for an outsider with reckless abandon!Her attitude toward the situation would only cause more confusion.“I have to admit, you’re pretty damn bold!”“Not only did you suppress East Wood Hall, but you also surrounded my
Clare and the other women almost screamed out of fear.Langston and the others watched with frantically twitching eyes; they went weak after seeing what happened in front of them.They could tell Harvey was a dominant man…But they didn’t think he was actually ruthless enough to shoot Jeff!Did he really not fear the consequences?“Ngh!”Jeff’s body swayed to the point he almost fell, but he still gritted his teeth, desperately stopping himself from screaming.A prominent figure like him wouldn’t be able to stand any kind of shame.Harvey pointed his firearm at Jeff’s right arm, his eyes cold. “Where’s Mandy?”Jeff chuckled coldly, his face filled with disdain.“I don’t know!”“Shoot me again if you dare!”The guests were infatuated by his show of courage and quietly cheered him on. ‘That’s what a real man looks like!’Ordinary men would’ve given up at this point.“Fine.”Harvey nodded.Bang!This time, he pulled the trigger on Jeff’s right arm.Even the all-power
Jeff’s expression changed once again.He could accept a lot of things…But he couldn’t accept the fact that everything he owned would be given to his two brothers.Especially Joseph!In the past, Joseph was only his follower—his servant.How could he accept the fact that Joseph would be taking his place?After pondering the situation, he finally cast away his useless arrogance and calmed himself down.He would end up a lot worse if he didn’t, after all.“Let me call someone,” he said, his face a horrible expression.Rachel smiled, and took the phone out of his pocket.Jeff then dialed a number. A cold voice could be heard from the other side.“What are your orders, Young Master Bauer?”Jeff’s expression changed before he exclaimed, “Send Mandy Zimmer back to Hearthstone Corporation right now!”Jeff slowly pushed the firearm away from his head, remaining absolutely calm. “One more thing,” he said, his eyes blank as he looked at Harvey.“I decided to give you back the mon
