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
