The bodyguard was boiling with anger.“Don’t you dare slander me, you b*stard!”“If you didn’t do as you pleased and kill the bull, causing the business to plummet…”“Why would I do something like this in the first place?!”“You brought this on yourself!”Harvey smiled.“Is that so?”“These Indians are armed to the teeth with military equipment.”“Can’t you tell that something’s clearly wrong here?”“Besides, how much could they give you if they were just using a venue here for training?”“In the first place, why would you take such a big risk if you didn’t get anything yourself?”“They clearly came prepared, too.”“If I wasn’t skilled enough, everyone here besides you would’ve died.”“And if we die, all you need to do is tell Jeff that the Indians came after me for revenge and killed CEO Stanton in the crossfire after you clean up the scene a little. You’d be able to get as far away from here as possible while living your high life.”“You can try to refute me, but I don’
“Really, now?”“What? Do you actually think you’re impressive? You think you’re untouchable because of your strong background?”“Or do you think you’re a part of the Bauer family just because you have the same surname?”Harvey revealed a faint smile after hearing the man’s words.The man laughed coldly.“The Fifth Mistress should know this. Young Master Bauer himself put me here to spy on her every single move!”“Besides, I’m a distant relative of the Bauer family!”“It’s not much, but it’s still blood!”“If you touch me, not only will you lose Young Master Bauer’s trust, but you’ll also get into big trouble!”The man showed regret at this point.“I’ll admit! This was my fault.”“That said, there’s still ample time for us to play, Harvey!”“You won’t get so lucky next time!”Harvey smiled when he saw the man’s arrogant look.“Do you think you can be ignorant just because you have a bit of a connection to the Bauer family?”“Yeah! I’m Young Master Bauer’s personal guard,
Upon hearing Jeff’s words, the man with a buzzcut was filled with pride. He naturally knew that things were going to end this way.Elanor’s eyes twitched while holding the phone. She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t utter a single word.She had been extremely loyal to Jeff, but she didn’t imagine he never cared about her life at all when he was plotting against Harvey.Jeff wouldn’t even feel a thing if she died after being dragged into the crossfire…Elanor felt her heart growing colder at this very moment.“Make sure to remember who the master is?”Harvey casually grabbed Elanor’s phone. He smiled as he replied to Jeff on the other side.“Only I have the right to say that. Not you.”“So what if I beat the sh*t out of your lackey right now?”Bam!Harvey instantly sent the man flying with a single kick; the man slammed right into a wall. Nobody knew if he was alive or not after such a violent attack…Even if he was, all of his bones were definitely broken; he was de
Elanor let out a sigh. Then, she said quietly, “Young Master Bauer…”“Enough. Let’s not talk about this.”Jeff waved his hand to cut her off.“How are your injuries?”“Were you scared?”“That b*stard was one of mine, but he still tried to kill you! He deserves death!”Jeff clapped his hands. Right after that, someone handed a firearm to him.He pulled the trigger without even bothering to look at the man with the buzzcut.Blood splattered all over the place. Jeff hugged Elanor tightly, a tender look on his face.“Don’t worry. Even if he’s my trusted subordinate, I’d kill him for going against you like that!”“I’ll even kill him a thousand times over if I have to!”“I promise, nobody will be able to hurt you ever again!”Despite seeing Jeff’s attitude and decisiveness to stand up for her, Elanor didn’t feel a hint of warmth at all; a cold shiver went down her spine at that instant.She knew she was just like that man; she was only alive because she was still beautiful and
While Jeff was planning to make a spot for another woman…On the next day, inside the Martial Hall’s courtyard…Harvey swayed on his rocking chair comfortably for a while before opening his eyes to a morning glow.“Did you get anything from George yet, Rachel?”“He sent everything this morning.”Rachel poured a cup of fragrant black tea beside Harvey with a warm smile.“Just as we know, Jeff has half of Longmen’s support along with the Inner and Outer Halls.”“Other than that, some of the elders within Longmen sided with him as well.”“On the surface, Jeff sure looks like the strongest young master out of the entire Bauer family. He has immense authority too…”“The government of Flutwell, the military force, and the underworld are all filled with his men.”“That said, the all-powerful young master has a deadly weakness as well.”“He seems pretty young, but he’s just great at taking care of himself.”“In reality, he’s already nearing his forties. Not only is he ten years old
“Judging from the current situation, though, we still need his influence in Flutwell to deal with Joseph.”“It’s not time for us to go against Jeff yet.”Harvey stood up.“We should still deal with Joseph as soon as possible…”Rachel’s eyes grew cold. “Sir York, we’re probably going to take Joseph down sooner or later.”“However, will the other forces take advantage of this when we do?”“Probably. Probably not,” Harvey replied.“Flutwell’s waters aren’t that deep. We’ll make the waters murkier after we deal with Joseph. That way, we’ll be able to take advantage of everything.” “Come. We’re running a street stall.”Half an hour later, Harvey showed up in front of the Bauer family’s courtyard entrance.This was Joseph’s place of stay; Harvey came to the front and told Rachel to set up a stall here, with the Martial Hall sign hung up.Because of the Martial Hall, more than half the students who trained in the chain Budokans were woken up. Their bodies were all mostly recover
“Is that it?”Joseph sat at the long table while drinking his milk calmly.“Is that all he can do?”“Has he already run out of tricks?”“How boring.”Ruby frowned.“It’s not just that, Young Master Bauer.”“The stocks of Flutwell’s business alliance has been plummeting since this morning because of what happened the past two days.”“One tenth of our stocks were gone in just a matter of minutes!”“The elders of the business alliance have very big opinions about us right now.”“They called here asking you to deal with that b*stard Harvey as soon as possible.”“If not, they want you to compensate for the losses in the stock market.”“They signed a capital guarantee agreement, after all…”After a few battles against Harvey, Joseph’s strength was a lot better compared to before.After hearing Ruby’s words, however, he was on the verge of coughing up blood.“These old b*stards!”Joseph revealed a deathly cold gaze.“They were the ones crying to join Flutwell’s business allia
“Young Master Bauer!”Right as Ruby was about to leave, a steward of the family rushed over with a mystified expression.Joseph didn’t even raise his head.“What is it?”“Harvey said he wants to see you,” the steward replied.Joseph froze.“What for?” he asked, a curious look on his face.“Is that man trying to test me?”“Or is he just here to laugh at me?”The steward became hesitant.“He said he wanted to buy something; he wanted to make peace with you.”Joseph was planning to ignore Harvey, but his heart throbbed after he heard the steward’s words.“Let him in,” he said after a long while.If Harvey was willing to talk, Joseph wouldn’t mind it.After all, there would be a lot of casualties from both sides if they kept fighting.Soon after, Harvey showed up at the Bauer family’s courtyard with his arms crossed.Harvey smiled when he saw Joseph still having his breakfast.“You seem pretty calm. I didn’t think you’d still be in the mood to have breakfast. I have to adm
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
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
