“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
Elanor had a faint smile when she saw Harvey calming down.She glanced at Harvey with a profound look on her face, and said quietly, “I have to admit, you’re very bold. The things you do are out of the ordinary.”“You killed your way to Charity Garden all by yourself, then you humiliated Young Master Bauer before shooting him in the arms.”“Aren’t you scared of him lashing out?”Elanor’s voice seemed to grow a little colder.“Am I supposed to call you reckless or bold?”A hint of rage could be seen in Elanor’s distant expression.Instead of losing her classy persona, the unspeakable aura she exuded was amplified by the emotions inside her.She had a face that was asking for punishment, yet, any man would want to be with her.She would be hated at first, but any man would want to conquer her after being with her for a while.“Are you done talking?”Harvey showed no emotion.“Sit down already.”“I’m already giving you enough respect for letting you off the hook for what happ
Elanor’s expression changed; drops of sweat could be seen gliding down her head.She didn’t expect Harvey to be this hard to deal with, and that he was able to see through Jeff so easily.Simply put, Jeff’s actions were as clear as day to Harvey.Harvey narrowed his eyes at Elanor for a while before flashing her a small smile.“But don’t worry.”“Since I’m here, that means I’m willing to work together with your young master despite his schemes.”“After all, we’ll all get what we need in this cooperation.”“You staying here is enough to show Jeff’s attitude toward the situation.”“Why don’t you tell me what Jeff wants me to do instead?”“I’ll be able to let go of today’s grudge, and I’ll happily cooperate with him.”Elanor finally let out a sigh upon hearing Harvey’s words.She thought Harvey would go against Jeff without hesitation because of Mandy’s kidnapping.But judging from the situation, Harvey had his bottom line and his way of doing things as well.Since Jeff didn’
Elanor froze.“Why? What makes you think that I’d say that?”Harvey stood up and picked up the check with a tiny smile.“You’re the fifth mistress. You’ll never become the lady of the Bauer family…”Harvey turned around and left after that.While Elanor’s expressions were constantly changing, Rachel entered the room.She casually put down a check in front of Elanor.Elanor’s eyes twitched frantically after taking a look at it.Seventy million dollars was written on it.The check was clearly signed by Harvey beforehand.Elanor’s eyes sharpened into a hard glare. “What’s the meaning of this?” she demanded coldly.“Is he trying to buy me off?”“Let me tell you something! Young Master Bauer’s women can never be bought!”“We only live for Young Master Bauer!”“Calm down.”Rachel tapped Elanor’s smooth shoulder, calm.“Sir York isn’t planning to buy you off.”“He just wants you to know that there are times when all the emperor’s concubines are sent to limbo.”“Let alone a
There was an elderly person sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall.His eyes were bulging out; he wasn’t breathing at all, nor was he moving a single inch. It was as if he was already dead.“Pay us what’s been owed, you b*stard! How do you not understand this?!”A hunk with a chiseled body was screaming viciously at Dillon.“My father loves martial arts, but my family didn’t allow him to train because of his old age!”“And then you people showed up!”“You were giving out flyers on the streets! My father got one of them!”“He came here to train after seeing that he can have three days here for free!”“What happened after that? He couldn’t even get a move down before dying!”“Is this a Budokan or a goddamn mortuary?!”“You’re killing people!”The other members of the family were completely infuriated after hearing the man’s words.“That’s right! Stop trying to lead your students astray if you can’t even teach them properly!”“You’ll pay for my grandfather’s life!”“En
“I didn’t let him enroll, since he looked pretty weak…”“But he insisted on coming, saying that he wants to get healthier.”“He grabbed a prop sword on his own before passing out.”“He stopped breathing after a short while.”“The family members showed up out of nowhere after that.”“They said we were the ones who killed him.”“I tried to explain the situation, but they just beat me up without even listening to me.”“If I wasn’t good at fighting, I would’ve been dead by now!”“I didn’t even fight back after so long.”Dillon briefly explained the situation to Harvey, sounding unspeakably helpless.As the top disciple of Flutwell’s Longmen branch, Dillon had always been the one showing off, doing whatever he pleased wherever he went.But not only was he taking the blame for something he didn’t do, he was also beaten up to the point where his face was completely swollen.While Dillon was explaining the situation, the hunk exclaimed loudly, “You killed my father!”“Everyone her
"It's your choice whether to believe it or not," said Harvey casually."Oh, come on," laughed Veer. "Since we've invited you all the way here, of course we believe you. Let's see… Please come this way."Then, Veer gestured and led him deeper into the estate. Harvey did not refuse and narrowed his eyes as he looked into the sky. He could already see a dark cloud gathering on top of the estate.In another courtyard, there was a huge lawn where a helicopter had landed. It was enough to show just how much wealth the Judd family had. But when Veer saw the helicopter, he was slightly surprised and asked, "Why is he back home?""He?" Harvey was quite curious. Veer was the leader of the Judd family. Could it be that someone else scared him within the family?When Veer saw Harvey's expression, he explained, "You probably didn't know this, but despite being the leader of the Judds of Wolsing, my father still has authority over me. However, he has been training in isolation all these years i
After a brief hesitation, Veer slowly spoke to Harvey. "Well… Let's start after you helped us deal with the problem haunting my mother. After that, all the seniors of the Judd family believed that there were some issues with the geomancy of this place. So, we were thinking of finding a new place to call home."However, the Judds are a big family. We have to make arrangements for many things. If we simply moved to another place, some might think that the Judd family is starting to fall. That's why we had to give up on moving, which meant the only other option left for us was to adjust the geomancy of this place."If you had asked me then, I would have asked you to help us with this since we shouldn't ask two persons to deal with the same problem. However, many elders rejected my proposal, saying you're too young and inexperienced."Ultimately, we asked Wolsing's top geomancer, Master Eridan, who has long stopped seeing any guests, to help us. Initially, everything went well. But afte
Veer cleared his throat and said, "Firstly, allow me to apologize on behalf of my nephew. He already informed me about Nelly and is now kneeling inside our estate's chapel. As he said, he will repent for three days and nights. Since he can't leave at the moment, he asked me to send you his apologies. "Other than apologizing for my nephew, please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of the Judds of Wolsing. The reason for all of this is because we aren't strict enough with our education and discipline. I swear in my family's name that things like this won't ever happen again in the future. We will also take full responsibility for cleaning up all the despicable acts that happen in the entertainment industry within Judd Entertainment."Veer was unsure how to feel when he said something like that. How could he not know that the sons of the Judd family had other women outside? But the problem was, it was fine for them to keep other women. But why did they allow those women to provoke
Harvey squinted his eyes and whispered to Marlee, "I don't know who your family has invited to change the geographical features of your estate, but the worst thing he did was to move away the two statues at the gate."If I'm right, your grandmother's condition has already stabilized initially. After changing the geological features, she should be pretty energetic as well. However, she is starting to feel a little numb after the two statues have been moved. "In the beginning, all of you thought it was just because she was getting older. You also started to feel something was wrong during these few days, right?"Marlee was a little shocked. "Why does it feel like you've witnessed the entire thing?"Then, Harvey explained, "Everything leaves a trace, and it's the same for geomancy. Don't tell me you think I won't be able to see something has changed when you move the two statues that protect the fortune of your entire family?"If you ask me, the geomancer you've hired is either not
Nelly fell on her knees without delay and started to slap herself dozens of times. Finally, she muttered an apology to Xynthia before turning tail and fled.It was obvious that after what had happened, she was no longer the queen bee of the advertising department. What Sawyer had said also meant that she would become a non-person in the entertainment industry. Someone like her would not have a good ending.However, Harvey was unaffected despite knowing how Nelly's life would end. Instead, he thought she deserved it. It was already quite lenient for her to end up like this for a woman who did not know her place and wanted to bully her juniors.-After it was all done, Marlee invited Harvey to a three-story office building that was only a couple hundred feet away.Xynthia and Journi followed them there. The two were similarly quite surprised when they saw Marlee's change of attitude toward Harvey.Marlee did not know who Xynthia was, but she was acquainted with Journi. They just di
"Tell him to give me his name!" Sawyer said. "I don't care if he is in Wolsing or anywhere in Country H. I'll make sure he regrets ever coming to this world!"Sawyer sounded extremely domineering, and his tone was very arrogant. It was as if the entire world was his to destroy whenever he wanted to. Not to mention, one could hear from his tone that he did not care about Marlee at all.Marlee's expression darkened, and she wanted to speak.However, Harvey waved his hand and said, "Sawyer Judd, is it? Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Harvey York. If you still don't know who I am, you can ask your leader or your grandmother. You can speak to me once you know who I am."Also, your woman has harassed my younger sister and that upsets me a lot. You better be able to give me an explanation. It would be best if you could give me one. If you can't, I'll give you one instead."Harvey calmly replied, but his words were even more domineering than Sawyer's from the other side.What the hell?
"Mr. York, why did you suddenly visit Judd Entertainment? Do you have any order for me?" asked Marlee Harvey in a serious tone."Not exactly," Harvey pointed at Xynthia with his right hand. "That's my younger sister over there, but we're not biologically related. She's currently working at Judd Entertainment. But what happened? Your advertising department's superstar is forcing her to sleep with an old man, otherwise she'll ruin her career."I'm here to question you on behalf of my younger sister. Is this a company rule?"When Marlee heard what Harvey had to say, her eye twitched, and she quickly turned around and slapped Nelly, who was caught completely unprepared.Nelly cried out in pain as she held her face and landed on the ground, looking at Marlee in disbelief. "Don't you worry, Mr. York. I'll give you a satisfying explanation about this."Harvey calmly said, "This is not the first time we met each other, Marlee. So, I know this has nothing much to do with you. That's why
Harvey had ignored Nelly's taunts and continued with the countdown. "Three minutes."At this time, Journi approached them from the back. Journi gave Xynthia a strange look and then said to the woman from upper management, "Here's my advice. You should give Ms. Marlee a call right now. Otherwise… I don't think you'll be able to shoulder the consequences."Compared to Harvey, who was wearing something quite plain, the outfit Journi was wearing, while still minimalistic, was all from luxury brands and could only be bought through reservations.She was wearing the Lady Arpels Pont des Amoureux watch, worth hundreds of thousands.What Journi was wearing gave immense pressure to the woman and, after a moment of hesitation, she pulled out her phone and started to dial a number."Oh ho! So, you're a sugar baby!" Nelly said derisively as she instinctively grew hostile to Journi when she saw her. "A sugar baby saving a damsel in distress, becoming the white knight of another woman… How can
The woman who looked like upper management was stunned when she heard Harvey called out to her. "Do you want to see our boss?""My, what a show-off," Nelly scoffed at Harvey's pretentiousness. "Do you want to complain against me by speaking to our boss? Xynthia, where did you find this man? Why is he so stupid? Does he think he can settle this by complaining? Is something wrong with his brain?"Not to mention who does he think he is, thinking he can see our boss whenever he wants? If he can see her, I will fall on my knees and call him daddy!"The other female models all covered their mouths and chuckled. To their understanding, what Harvey did was so laughable and childish. Even the lady from upper management mockingly looked at Harvey and said, "Sir, our company headquarters aren't that far. It'll only take three to five minutes to get there."But, do you really think you can see our boss, Ms. Marlee? Not only is she one of the Judds of Wolsing's three daughters, but ordinary peo
