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
“We did pretty well together when we collaborated a few times.”“As long as you give me back my properties and apologize, I’ll at least consider forgiving you, right?”Harvey York showed a bitter expression on his face.“Why would you bother making a mess out of the whole thing?“I gave a thought about your suggestion.”Jeff Bauer looked as if he wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Harvey.“It’s a shame that you forgot something…“I’m also in a tough spot too!“Even though I’m the top young master of the Bauer family, even though I’m supported by half of Longmen’s higher-ups…“You forget that Grandma Bauer despises me!“All she ever wanted is for Harold Bauer to rise to power!“Under these circumstances, I can’t just let someone else have the properties of Flutwell’s business alliance now, can I?“I’ll be ruining my future by doing this! Grandma Bauer will have an excuse to take me out!“People like me are destined to rise! If I lose that chance, I might as well just
Slap!Harvey York calmly swung the back of his palm across the expert’s face in front of him.The expert felt a sharp pain before he blacked out as he was sent flying.The expert crashed into the crowd, simultaneously knocking out a few others.Then, Harvey casually slammed his hand on the table. A few plates immediately shattered into pieces before flying everywhere.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain could be heard, but it was not enough to stop the experts.Whenever someone would fall, others would replace them. Those people were fearless. They were like moths to the flame, swarming Harvey relentlessly.Harvey still remained as calm as a cat. Sometimes, he would throw more utensils. Other times, he would just slap the experts in the face.The mistresses who were hiding in the dark to watch the show could not believe what they were seeing.It was their first time seeing someone this calm while going against this many experts.Elanor Stanton, backed up to the door with a horrified lo
“Die! Die! Die!”Arya Johnson was screaming relentlessly as her movements were getting faster.The sword in her hand was slashing from different angles. She really wanted to rip Harvey York to pieces.Harvey showed a calm look when he evaded Arya’s attacks with ease.The experts from the Bauer family were utterly shocked.After all, everyone knew just how powerful Arya was…But even she was not able to lay a scratch on Harvey.Jeff Bauer, who seemed confident the entire time, showed a horrible expression when he saw the sight.He already thought highly of Harvey. He had used almost all of his resources just for this event.There would be a lot of trouble if Harvey managed to leave this place alive!While Jeff was frowning, Arya’s body turned into an afterimage when the gleam of her blade completely surrounded Harvey.Slap!Right when everyone thought that Arya was about to win, a resounding slap could be heard.The dazzling gleam was gone. Even the afterimages also disappe
“What? Are you going to give up? Or are you planning to see how far you can go?”Jeff’s face was gloomy. “You should know, I have enough people to deal with you! They’ll tire you out if they have to!”“Not bad. You have a lot of strong people with you.”Harvey smiled calmly.“But since I knew you were planning to do this to me in the first place, why would you assume I’d come here alone?”Jeff froze. Then, he glared furiously at Elanor.“You useless wench!”Bam!Almost at the same time, the door of Eclipse Building was kicked open. A hundred people in robes and face masks swarmed in immediately.They were all holding swords, looking very calm.Rachel was standing in the middle of them.They quickly scattered around Harvey, ready to confront the experts of the Bauer family.“Longmen’s Law Enforcement?”“Rachel?”Jeff chuckled coldly.“Are you all insane?!”“Did you forget who I am?”“How dare you cause trouble with your men here! Who do you think you are?”“I didn’t
Harvey stood up. Rachel instinctively took a step backwards; she wouldn’t dare stand next to Harvey.Jeff froze at the sight.Elanor was confused as well.An impossible thought came to their minds right then and there.Harvey calmly smiled.“I am the head of Law Enforcement.”The disciples of Law Enforcement all saluted with stern expressions and swords in hand.“At your service, Head York!”“All hail Head York!”The sound echoed throughout the entire place.Jeff froze instantly; his mistresses became completely slack with shock as well.“Head York?!”Elanor was completely shocked; she figured out from Jeff that Harvey was probably supported by the head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement…But she never once thought that Harvey was the head himself!“Head York?”“People have been saying that the newly-appointed head of Law Enforcement is a God of War—a top talent with terrifying strength that the master of Longmen trusts. There’s no way he’s the man, right?”“How is it possibl
Before long, frantic footsteps could be heard from outside.It was clear there were a lot more people outside, more than Jeff’s experts.Blood would fill up the entire building if the situation wasn’t handled properly!After hearing Harvey’s words, Jeff’s trusted subordinate stepped forward. The man screamed, “Even if you’re the head of Law Enforcement, what gives you the right to bark at Young Master Bauer?!”“Longmen and the Bauer family are two different things! You think you can just get involved with the family’s affairs so easily?!”People were completely moved by the subordinates’ words. They started screaming in unison.They were all claiming that the head of Law Enforcement had no right to take down Jeff.At the same time, a few other subordinates saw people with crossbows and sniper rifles peeking their heads out on the high ground, waiting for the moment to pull the trigger.“True, Longmen does not have the right to govern the Bauer family…”Harvey’s words made the
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
