Vroom!Ten minutes later, sounds of engines could be heard from outside. A row of SUVs were parked at the entrance.A group of strong-looking men in golden robes hopped out of the cars.They were all carrying swords on their waists and bore fierce expressions. A rascally-looking young man walked out from the crowd.He was about five feet seven; he had a head of dyed blonde hair and the flushed complexion of a drunkard.He had a gloomy yet dignified expression.The mean woman and the people behind her immediately swarmed the young man with simpering expressions.“You’re finally here, Young Master Bierstadt!”“Those b*stards completely disrespected you! They didn’t even care about Golden Palace!”“You need to help us!”“How many times have I told you to mention my name when you get in trouble?”“Nobody in Flutwell dares to go against me, Koen Bierstadt!”“What?! He’s Koen Bierstadt?!”After hearing the name, the crowd was immediately horrified.Koen was only an outer dis
“Enough of this nonsense!”“Do you think I care about stupid details like right or wrong?”“Nothing is greater than my reputation!”Koen was clearly annoyed.“Since you’re from Golden Palace as well, I’ll give you a chance.”Koen was already informed of what had happened.“Number one: give my cousin the money she wants!”“Number two: get those three little b*stards to work for her for free! What’s more, they have to do that for three whole years.”“Number three: make them kneel on the spot!”“You’ll come with me after that! I’ll let it slide when all of the conditions are met!”“If not, then don’t blame me for what happens next.”“You’re the ones in the wrong! You can’t do this!” Layne exclaimed in a trembling voice.“What? You’re going to talk reason with me?!” Koen instantly lashed out.“You think I’m scared to go against you people?!”“Even after I destroy this place and cripple the little b*stards, you’ll still have to do everything as I say!”“Golden Palace is eve
“I’m not the same as you.”Harvey looked calmly at Koen.“I stomp on countless young masters with malicious intent all the damn time. This is getting really annoying for me.”“That said, I wouldn’t mind dealing with another if you have a death wish.”“Golden Palace can’t help you here.”Harvey pointed at the mean woman, his face cold.“Besides, I changed my mind.”“I want that woman to grovel in front of my friends as an apology. I want her to beg for their mercy.”“If she doesn’t do that, I’ll cripple her myself. You have my word!”“Even God can’t get her out of this!”“Oh?”Koen chuckled, filled with unbridled rage.“You’ve got guts, young man!”“You’re saying that you’ll go against me?!”“I understand having a little bit of ego because of your accomplishments…”“But there aren’t a lot of people as cocky as you!”“I can turn you into a damn porcupine if I want to! Don’t believe me?!”Koen waved his hand, and the people behind him fiercely pointed their crossbows at H
“Interesting. Really interesting…”Koen clapped, his face cold.“Not bad. Not bad at all.”“It’s my first time seeing someone insulting me and slapping my men away in Flutwell!”“Impressive!”“Enough yapping. Are you making her kneel or not?” Harvey said, not wasting a single second.“Or would you rather me teach her how to do things instead?”“What the f*ck?! I can’t believe you’re cockier than I am!”Koen was cackling out of pure rage; his expression was completely twisted as he laughed out loud.“Let me tell you something, kid! My people will not apologize!”“On the contrary, you’ll have to kneel in front of her house for three whole days!”“If not, I’ll make sure to come for you sooner or later!”“You have no chance no matter how strong your support is!”“I’m giving you thirty seconds to think about it. Kneel and crawl out of the entrance, then keep kneeling there!”“If you don’t, I’ll break every single limb you have!”“And if you resist, I’ll kill you on the spot!”
“They’re the young talents who are challenging the Indians on behalf of Longmen?” Koen said with a parched mouth as if he realized something.“What? They’re going against the Indians?”“These young masters are here on a mission?”“Someone from Golden Palace is forcing these people to be private instructors for their own gain?”The crowd started to show more doubt.The disciples of Golden Palace felt extremely sluggish as they gripped their crossbows.As the only sacred martial arts training ground in Flutwell, Golden Palace naturally knew that the Indians brought their own top talents to challenge Longmen.They knew Longmen had three top talents out to fight back as well.These were the children who were constantly pampered by the people around them!They were tasked to fight the Indians on behalf of Longmen!This was war!If anyone dared to touch these children before that, not just the outer disciples of Golden Palace, even the lord would have to pay!Koen trembled before
Koen’s eyes and mouth couldn’t stop twitching.He didn’t know what to say in front of Harvey.He’d be challenging Longmen’s authority if he said that he didn’t respect the organization in the first place; this was not something a mere outer disciple of Golden Palace could do.That said, he would be disrespecting himself if he acknowledged Longmen and the identities of the people in front of him.Thus, Koen wouldn’t dare say a single word; he could only look down in silence, his face awful.Many times, silence was also a form of agreement.Koen’s reaction shocked the entire crowd.They didn’t expect Harvey to completely dominate Koen by just showing his identity.The other disciples of Golden Palace looked at each other with awkward glances; they were completely forced into a corner.“Looks like Longmen still has some uses after all.”After seeing Koen remain silent, Harvey chuckled before looking back at the three young talents, who were in complete shock.“Did you learn any
“Oh?”“You’re threatening me?”“Pull the trigger if you dare!”“If I even blink, I’ll lick your damn boots!” Harvey exclaimed.The follower’s eyes twitched frantically, and cold sweat dripped down his back.He never imagined Harvey would be this headstrong.He knew exactly what he would get himself into if he did pull the trigger.Not only would he be cursed by the people, but Longmen and Golden Palace would most likely go to war because of this as well.No matter how angry he was, he couldn’t afford to pull the trigger.“What? You can’t?!”“What a wuss!”Harvey slapped the disciple away.He stepped forward calmly before going at the rest of the followers.Sounds of slapping could be heard all over the place.In just a single moment, the arrogant and domineering disciples of Golden Palace were all slapped to the ground; they wouldn’t even dare say a single word as they covered their faces.If this was any other day, they wouldn’t be afraid of Harvey’s identity…However,
Bam, bam, bam!Before Harvey could say anything else, the arrogant people immediately slammed their knees to the ground.Amber and the others straightened their backs at the sight; they felt extremely refreshed.…“B*stard! That goddamn b*stard!”After a long while, the people who had been kneeling till their legs were giving out crawled back into their cars.The mean woman sat in front of Koen with a twisted expression.“We can’t just let this go his way, Young Master Bierstadt!”“Our reputation will be completely tarnished!”“If we don’t do anything to stop Harvey from becoming the master of Longmen, we won’t have another chance to take revenge!”Clearly, these people weren’t grateful for Harvey’s mercy; they didn’t even care to reflect on themselves the slightest.As soon as they left, they were already thinking about revenge.Koen took a deep breath and spoke up after a long while.“Don’t worry. I won’t let it end like this!”“He thinks he can become the new master of
"Camellia?" Harvey said with a faint smile. "That sounds like the name of an ordinary housewife. Anything special about her?"Clarion's eyes twitched before saying, "Camellia is one of our distant relatives. When she was young, she was called the "Queen Bee". It was said that when she was young, the reason she fought was to make her opponents into her servants. If Grand City had a criminal underworld, then Camellia would be the queen of this underworld. "I've already cleaned up the car park, so Platinum Casino probably won't know what happened yet. However, Camellia has too many contacts in Grand City. It won't take long before she finds out it's you."Clarion hesitated for a little before continuing, "Mr. Representative, while you're very strong, Camellia's just too much of a pervert. I have a feeling that you two will see each other soon. Either you find a way to make peace with her, or you hide. If you do become enemies, then she won't stop until either one of you is dead."It
"Bastard!" All the men in black exchanged a glance and all pounced at Harvey with a dagger. Harvey looked like he could fight, but they were sure that one man couldn't win a fight when outnumbered.They were going to use their numbers to kill Harvey.Slap! Smack! Slap!Harvey didn't let them have their way and immediately slapped the men in black. He struck all of them onto the ground with one slap each.It was just a simple slap, but Harvey made their faces swollen and destroyed their self-confidence. They couldn't understand how despite being so slender, Harvey could fight so well.Forget about retaliation. They couldn't even avoid a slap from Harvey!The woman instantly pointed her gun at Harvey and sneered coldly, "You brainless, ignorant fool. You don't understand who you've crossed and what crime you have committed!"Slap!Before she could finish, Harvey had already appeared in front of her and slapped her away too. She screamed, thrown into midair, her back slamming ag
The woman who was drinking coffee frowned. It was obvious she was very unhappy with Havey's sudden interference."Kid, don’t you know you shouldn't meddle in affairs that don't concern you?" The bald man glanced at Harvey, disdain on his face. "There are many times when those who meddle in others' affairs die horribly."The bald man gestured to his men and the three of them pounced at Harvey, obviously wanting to teach him a lesson. However, they had just gotten a little closer when Harvey took a step forward.It was just a simple move, but the woman who was drinking coffee froze before yelling, "Baldie! Watch out!"The bald man was also instantly soaked with sweat. Harvey was just too fast! He never imagined someone could move so fast. Before he could even retreat, Harvey had already appeared right in front of him and slapped him.Smack!There was a loud smack, and Harvey's hand had already hit his face. The bald man's head slammed onto the ground, blood instantly flowing from
"I can't explain everything. I'm at the car park in Grand City's Central Business District! Please, save me!" Mrs. Hoffman begged. Harvey could hear the fear in her voice.While Harvey didn't know what had happened, he knew that if it wasn't because she was already cornered, she wouldn't have asked a stranger for help. He immediately put on the GPS and said, "Wait for me. I'll be there in three minutes tops."Very quickly, he drove into the car park and parked at a relatively hidden corner. Once he got out of the car, he put on a face mask. Opening the door, he saw a few men in black forcing a woman in a traditional garb into the corner.They held a cigar in their hands, huffing and puffing. They would even snicker perversely. A few security guards handling the safety of the car park weren't that far away, but they stood far away in the corner, too frightened to look.From that alone, it was obvious that these men in black's status must be quite high.Behind them, a coffee table
Harvey was feeling extremely awkward. He faked a cough and changed the topic. "Mr. Wenzel, I don't know what you've been doing in the last decade, but for you to be able to return in such a critical time means you've been paying attention to Grand City all this time, correct? You have let things take its course in Grand City, haven't you?"At Harvey's words, Wenzel and Vaida both put aside the matter of Harvey's marriage.There was a hint of surprise in Wenzel's eyes. "Why do you think that?""Simple. From the way Dan managed to become a scion, I can tell there are plenty of different factions within Grand City. All these factions are probably only respectful of you on the surface. The moment you disappeared, they did everything they could to push Dan into the seat of power so that they could have a puppet they could control."It's sad Dan didn't realize that and simply believed he was skilled in the game. In truth, without their protection, he's no one worth mentioning."Wenzel
Wenzel chuckled and said to Harvey, "You're too humble, Harvey. While you're not the chef, you're the customer. The customer is always right in matters of taste. As a chef, I have to make sure my customers are happy, correct? Otherwise, no one will come anymore."What I want to know is whether you want to be full, or to have a good meal. If you just want to be full, there's plenty for you to taste. But if you want to have it good, you can probably eat a few loaves in the morning. You'll be hungry before lunch."Harvey gave it a thought after listening to Wenzel. Still, he sighed and said, "In reality, I want both. The oven tests a chef's patience a lot. You need to do it again and again, but you need different heat for different pastries. The faster you want them done, the harder it is to make them delicious."That's why if you ask me, rather than trying to simply be full, I believe that one should make each pastry the best it possibly can. If there's something you can't bake or can
"Once everything was ready, Lord Howell then stood on the hill overlooking Lord Felipe's camp across the Red River. He believed his victory was at hand. "Suddenly, a cold breeze blew and the flag of his army hit his face. Only then did he suddenly realize that Lord Felipe's ships were coming from the North, while his own ships were stationed in the South. This was during winter, and the wind was blowing the Northwest. Using a fire attack would not only spare Lord Felipe's forces, but his own ships would also be burned."Lord Howell fell sick and he couldn't be cured. All the generals and soldiers were very nervous. At this time, Lord Kye's chief strategist Lord Albion came to visit him. He said to Lord Howell, 'I have a prescription to cure you of your disease. To defeat Lord Felipe, flame is the best weapon. Everything is ready now except for the Divine Wind.""The wind changed direction as soon as he said that, and Lord Felipe was defeated. And that wind had decided the national
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the ambulance quickly appeared and took Dan and everyone away. Whether they had truly fainted or pretended to faint, they all cooperated throughout the ordeal.At the very least, fainting was better than being humiliated.And that was how a political move ended quickly before it could even officially begin. Everyone watching this was somewhat speechless. Their attention finally shifted to Harvey for a while before disappearing.Harvey couldn't be bothered by them. He smirked and then turned the streaming app on his phone off.After this, Lapis had become much more careful. She quickly arranged for more personnel to defend all the residence's entrances and exits. At the same time, she also sent more personnel to keep an eye on Dan so that something like this wouldn't happen again.Harvey simply shrugged and said nothing. He believed something like this wouldn't occur again. Dan was no fool. He would know that the same trick wouldn't work twice.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!Stickers of rockets filled the chat on the phone's screen. Harvey looked at the stickers and happily said, "Looks like you can attract quite the attention, Dan! You're almost as popular as a small YouTuber! The rocket sticker is one dollar, I think. There are so many here, meaning you've already earned around 60 dollars by kneeling a minute here! This is so worth it!""You…" The prideful Dan could feel himself choking. Suddenly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.He was the scion of Grand City. The scion of Parkerville! Yet to Harvey, he had just become a YouTuber who could earn 60 dollars a minute. Most importantly, Harvey was streaming him kneeling in front of numerous netizens. He ground his teeth, infuriated.Not that far away, Clarion and Neve quickly left. The moment Harvey appeared, they had a very bad feeling. When they saw Harvey fix his phone on the selfie stick, they could feel a chill down their spine. Realizing they weren't part of the st
