Dozens of experts from the Longmen Warband instinctively raised their weapons after hearing Arya Johnson’s orders.All of them were showing fierce looks when they screamed at the experts of the Bauer family, forcing them to retreat.Some of Lucca Bauer’s trusted subordinates wanted to block the path, but they were immediately slapped aside by the Longmen Warband.Even if the experts were completely infuriated, they had no other choice but to make way.Three minutes later, Harvey York casually sat in his Toyota Prado before he made a gesture, signaling Arya’s men to send Lilian Yates to the hospital.Arya’s veins were bulging out of her forehead before she instinctively walked over.“What do you think you’re doing, Harvey?!“Did you not hear what I just said?!“Young Master Bauer prepared a banquet just for you!”“Go back and tell him something…” replied Harvey while he started his car.“Everything that happened just now was completely different than expected.“I don’t feel t
“Joseph Bauer’s completely crippled. Harold Bauer’s trusted subordinate was killed as well…“Jeff Bauer must be ecstatic at this point, right?“Because of this, Harold and I are forced to go against each other.“If I manage to cripple Harold because of this, Jeff can win the battle for the throne without even lifting a finger.Harvey York squinted with a calm look on his face.“Do you think that Harold meant to do all this? Or did Jeff trick him into doing this instead?”Rachel Hardy and the others looked at each other.Harvey was right.The entire incident seemed coincidental, but this was still a little too much.Both Lucca Bauer and Arya Johnson’s appearances seemed a little too deliberate.If this was all part of Jeff’s plans, then he was a lot more scheming than everyone thought.Rachel frantically twitched her eyes.“So, what should we do next, Sir York?” asked Rachel quietly.“Should we continue with Secretary Xavier’s acquisition plan?”“Of course. Why shouldn’t w
While the staff spoke, a few men in security uniforms came over with cautious looks when they glared at Xynthia Zimmer and the others.“We’re here to take over the chain Budokans originally from Flutwell’s business alliance.“We couldn’t inform you ahead of time because of time constraints…“But don’t worry. This is just a normal transfer of property rights. We won’t affect your work.”Xynthia obviously did her homework. She seemed like an experienced woman as soon as she spoke.“My name is Xynthia. Please tell your management about this so we can make a transfer.”Then, Xynthia’s assistant behind her handed over official documents for the staff to read.“You’re taking over the chain Budokans?”The staff seemed quite surprised, but she also knew what had happened the day before. She nodded before turning back inside without saying another word.Soon, a dozen people in traditional clothing walked out with an elegant-looking woman.The woman was none other than Jeff Bauer’s sev
“Enough talk!”Audrey Lopez instantly cut off Xynthia Zimmer with an annoyed look.“There are no misunderstandings, nor are there any friends here!“I don’t need to call anyone!“This is now Young Master Bauer’s property!“You people better get out of here right now! Stop affecting our business!“If not, I’ll tell Young Master Bauer to teach Harvey York a lesson he won’t forget!Audrey then waved her hand with a cold expression.“Come! Get them out of here!”A dozen security guards furiously rushed forward with firearms in hand.It was Xynthia’s first time seeing such a sight. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to comply for the time being.“We’re leaving!”Xynthia resentfully went back to the Martial hall.“Jeff Bauer bought every single property of Flutwell’s business alliance?Harvey’s eyes lit up after hearing Xynthia’s explanation.“There’s no rush. Let me make a phone call.”Harvey then gave Ansel Torres a call.Ansel froze. He immediately contacted the g
“Tell everyone that Joseph Bauer used such heinous tactics to earn money because Jeff Bauer pulled the strings!“Then tell them that to cover up the truth, Jeff abused his authority and sent his subordinates to kill one of Harold Bauer’s men!“Harold is a just man, trying to expose the entire thing to the public!“Make up a few more versions of this story!“Make it as exaggerated as you can…“In any case, everyone needs to know that Jeff and Joseph are in the same boat!“And Harold had been constantly targeted because of his righteousness!“The Bauer family’s infighting starts with Jeff…“We’ll give them utter chaos!”Kroom!While Rachel Hardy and Kayden Balmer were carrying out their missions outside, thunder broke out from the sky.All of Flutwell was hot and humid. A storm was brewing…In the evening.Inside a private golf course on the outskirts of Flutwell.The sun was shining brightly. The wind was blowing gently.After the rain, it was the perfect time to relax wh
Right as the group of people were happily chatting…A battery-powered four-wheel-drive drove over before stopping near Jeff Bauer and the others.Elanor Stanton, who had exquisite makeup on along with her sportswear and sunhat, walked out of the car.Her looks were extremely mesmerizing. Even Jeff, who was familiar with every single part of her body, could not help but be fascinated after seeing her sight.Audrey Lopez instantly squinted as soon as she saw her rival show up.“Young Master Bauer didn’t even ask you to come today, Elanor. What do you want?“Don’t his words matter to you now?”Jeff showed a warm smile as he waved his hand.“You’re sisters, Audrey. You need to play nice with each other. There’s no need to get jealous.”Naturally, Jeff quite enjoyed his women fighting over him. After all, his charm and status would only be shown because of this.Audrey coldly scoffed with a disdainful look.Elanor completely ignored Audrey and hastily walked toward Jeff.“You’re
Out of all seventy-two mistresses, not many women had hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets.Elanor Stanton was the one who had control of most of the assets, so she was usually excluded from the rest of the mistresses.If it were not for Jeff Bauer having such a big ego, the mistresses would have started ridiculing Elanor for cucking Jeff at this point.Elanor shuddered as soon as she realized what Audrey Lopez was actually doing. She instinctively shook her head when she said, “Don’t misunderstand me, Young Master Bauer.“I was just worried about you.“After all, that b*stard is extremely dangerous. If he gets angry because of this, there’ll be dire consequences…”Audrey coldly chuckled.“Get angry? What right does he even have?“Even if he did get angry, do you really think he can go against Young Master Bauer?“How ignorant and naive can you get?! You’re obviously being spiteful right now!”“Alright. That’s enough. There’s no need to argue about such a small mat
“Every big media in Flutwell is saying that the young masters of the Bauer family completely hate each other because of their battle for the throne!“Joseph Bauer, who had malicious intents toward the public, was actually backed by Jeff Bauer himself!“Harold Bauer is probably the kindest one out of the three young masters!“To avoid compensation, Joseph transferred every single one of his properties under Jeff’s name!“Joseph disappearing with his money without a trace also seems to be because of Jeff!”After returning to the family’s manor, Jeff was boiling with anger after looking at the headlines.‘This is shameless!’‘This is despicable!’Not only was Jeff being forced into a corner, but the things that should have been made public were also exposed all at once!All of the rage directed at Joseph also converged toward Jeff.Jeff taking over all of Joseph’s properties was all fact.Many news platforms were also leaking documents signed by the two!Simply put, the people
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
After hearing what Harvey had to say, everyone exchanged glances. Lune and Sol were very experienced, and they quickly zoomed into the video recording and started to check the details. After carefully scanning it, everyone noticed Neve's action was extremely mechanical, and her eyes were completely blank. Even her actions activating the Rainstorm Needles were extremely puppetlike.When Neve saw this, she was shocked. "How can I fall under someone else's control like this? I'm trained in Servitas' school of martial arts, and it demands extremely high mental mastery. How can I fall into someone's control so easily? Not to mention that one doesn't have to use the Six-Paths Fragrance to control me, right? But most importantly… I've never fallen for someone's mind control until Harvey appeared… Could it be that it's you who are controlling me?" Neve immediately turned to look at Harvey, looking vigilant.Harvey rolled his eyes. "What's the point of me doing that?""So you can get my gran
"Stop! Everyone, stop!" When Lune and Sol saw what was happening, they were stunned and stopped right before Harvey. They knew Geoffrey's condition, so they were very sure that it was Geoffrey's inner demon going wild just now."Drop all your Rainstorm Needles right now! We can decide everything once Mr. Geoffrey is awake!" Lune ordered the men and quickly checked the mobile that was already set up nearby, wanting to see what was happening."Are you stupid, Lune? Didn't you see that my grandpa is almost dead because of him? Sol, stop them right now! Do it! Kill Harvey! Kill whoever dares to stop you!" Neve screamed, on the verge of a breakdown.The dozens of security guards exchanged glances and hesitated and did not dare move when they saw how chaotic it was in the study."We'll see who's behind this right now!" Lune had already grabbed the phone, and he immediately projected what the phone had recorded onto the wide-screen TV in the study.Soon, they all saw how Neve appeared at
Harvey instinctively kicked Geoffrey's chair when he narrowed his eyes, looking at what was happening. There was a bang, and the chair fell to the ground. The silver needles from the Rainstorm Needles flew past where the two of them were just moments ago, striking the big desk.Instantly, a big hole appeared on the desk, and corrosive liquid flowed out. It was terrifying. However, Neve blankly raised her right hand. Just as Harvey was about to make his move, Geoffrey appeared right before Neve and grabbed her right hand tightly, his expression brutal."How dare you… I have raised you for twenty years! And now, you want to kill me? Time to die!" As Geoffrey said that, he moved Neve's arm and aimed the Rainstorm Needles in her sleeve right on her own forehead.Harvey blinked, and he instantly knew what was happening.Because of Neve's assault, the inner demon within Geoffrey clawed its way out. Geoffrey had already lost control. Meanwhile, Neve started to regain some clarity from the
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
