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
Swoosh!Harvey took the initiative and stepped forward.His movement didn’t seem fast to the naked eye, but it was quicker than anyone’s imagination.In a blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of Jeff.Jeff’s trusted subordinates couldn’t even react to the situation.Slap!Jeff, who was screaming to fight back, was instantly sent flying by a hard slap across his face; blood splattered everywhere as he slammed right into a pillar behind him.Before he could get back off the ground, a cold hand was already grabbing him by the neck.Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Jeff’s face, waking up Jeff right as he was about to pass out.“You’re pretty boring, Young Master Bauer.”“Why do you always have to be such a glutton for punishment? I get so exhausted just by talking to you.”“I’m asking you this one last time…”“How will you choose?”The crowd was dead silent.‘How?!’‘How is this possible?!’Jeff was a martial arts expert!Even though he was no G
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
"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
