“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
“Enough with your stupid ideas, Audrey Lopez!” Elanor Stanton exclaimed while frowning.“Don’t you know that Harvey York’s also an expert martial artist?! Using brute force against him won’t work!“How did you think he managed to deal with Frankie Garcia and disrespect Clyde Osborne in a place like Flutwell?!“Ordinary people would’ve died a thousand times over doing this!”“Then, what else are we supposed to do?!” exclaimed Audrey.“Young Master Bauer will become a joke if we keep letting Harvey run free!“When that happens, it’d be good enough if the family’s elders don’t start calling him out, let alone him rising to power!”“Harvey only did this because Young Master crossed the line,” Elanor replied with a bitter look after taking a deep breath.“Young Master Bauer, Harvey will always treat others how they treat him.”“At this point, I do hope you put enough thought into the properties of Flutwell’s business alliance!“Those are really good properties to have…“But, are
At seven o’clock in the evening, Harvey York was sitting inside Elanor Stanton’s car and entered the Bauer family’s manor without a hitch.Harvey glanced around him as he got out of the car.The manor was located on the outskirts of Flutwell. The buildings were fascinating, and the scenery was breathtaking. The Holy Lake was also quite close to the place.Legends said Jeff Bauer would always take baths in the Holy Lake as part of his training.“Young Master Bauer and Mrs. Lopez are waiting for you, Sir York.”A few guards respectfully ushered Harvey into the buildings when Elanor disclosed who he was.“Sir York, Young Master held the banquet ahead of time to show you an apology and also to give you an explanation,” whispered Elanor while walking beside Harvey.“He said that Joseph Bauer was the one who tricked him into taking the properties of Flutwell’s business alliance.“I do hope that you’ll pay him some respect. Please lighten up when you talk to him later.“After all, he
Jeff Bauer’s calm words were jaw-dropping.Elanor Stanton, who was standing right beside Harvey York, had her face devoid of all color.At that moment, she understood that Jeff had no intention of negotiating with Harvey…Rather, he was prepared to frame Harvey and take him out.Clearly, he was getting desperate.At the same time, dozens of experts from the Bauer family showed up from both sides of the hall.Those people showed cold glares with their face masks and axes on their backs.Naturally, they would not hesitate to turn Harvey into minced meat if Jeff wanted them to.The senior of the Longmen Warband, Arya Johnson, was wearing a white robe while sitting in a corner.She glared at Harvey emotionlessly, as if she was looking at a dead man.A fight could break out at any time.Blood would spill all over the place at any minute.“I’ve experienced many things, Young Master Bauer. I knew you were planning to do something like this tonight...“That said, you’re a lot dumb
"Of course, you can. You're the leader of the Judd family!" Veronica said to Veer in a sarcastic tone. "However, to think that you've mistreated our mother… Aren't you supposed to resign already?"Veer coldly replied, "Don't worry. Even if I do resign, you won't be the next leader. So you can stop dreaming about it already."The corner of Veronica's lips twitched. She had wanted to say something else when an old man with white hair came out from the inner chamber at that moment. With a cold voice, he rebuked them, "Enough! Your mother is still unconscious in bed right now, but all of you argue amongst yourselves here. Where are your manners?"I have not been managing things for many years, but do I no longer have any influence within the family?"Veer narrowed his eyes a little when he saw the old man. Then, he stepped forward and bowed his head. "I understand, father."After seeing Veer's attitude, he turned his attention to Veronica and the others. "It's the same for all of you.
"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
