“I’ll get to that.”Zoe Garcia showed a warm smile before bringing a golden box from under the table and pushing it toward Harvey York.Her jacket slipped away from her, revealing her tender-looking shoulders while pushing the box.Then, she leaned over, as if she did not realize anything that was happening.“Sir York, India’s royal family wishes you to join our ranks!” said Zoe in a soft tone.“The royal family will make you a Brahmin if you do!“The future generations of your family will have the same treatment!”Harvey squinted after hearing those words.‘These people are quite something…The Indians knew that Harvey was not short of money. That was why they were using the title as a bargaining chip.Zoe, Axel Garcia, Cody Garcia, and Frankie Garcia were only Kshatriyas…And yet they offered Harvey a higher position than all of them.Simply put, if Harvey agreed to the deal, he could make anyone in India kneel!He would even be on par with the prince of India. The futur
“Your strength and abilities are definitely worthy of those rewards!”Zoe Garcia showed a sweet smile.“Of course, to show that you’re willing to become one of us, I’ll need a little proof from you.“After all, all 1.3 billion people in India are dying to be Brahmins.“Since India’s willing to sacrifice so much for you, you should at least make them understand that you’re worth this much, right?“If not, how are you going to please the crowd?“Proof?”Harvey York showed a faint smile.“Don’t tell me it’s about tomorrow’s fight.”“Smart man, Sir York. You got me.Zoe smiled.“Master Garcia said that if Amber Levine and the others lose their fights tomorrow…“We’ll give you the money and the badge on the spot!“Your other rewards will be prepared immediately after!“At the same time, we’ll prepare a private jet for you to travel to our mighty country!“If you want to bring your friends and family along, we can arrange that as well!“We’ll ensure that you live comfortably
Zoe Garcia froze.Harvey York’s words startled her. In her mind, Harvey would have firmly rejected the offer.She quickly regained her smile before quietly replying, “Of course!“That said, I’m still not ready yet. Why don’t we get some time after tomorrow, Sir York?”Harvey seemed a little annoyed after hearing Zoe’s words.“Are you going back on your word now?” asked Harvey coldly after taking a deep breath.“You’re making me work without me getting anything in return?“Of course, I need something good first before getting to work!“If you don’t want to do it right now, we can do this another way!“Here’s my card. Give me my money first!“You don’t have to worry about me running away either!“After all, I’m more interested in you!“I’m craving for your body already!”Harvey pulled out his bank card before slipping it into Zoe’s hand.Zoe’s smile instantly froze. Everything that Harvey did had completely caught her off guard.In her mind, Harvey would decline the offer
“Alright. That’s enough for today, Maiden Garcia.“Go back and tell Axel Garcia something for me.“Schemes don’t work like this. If he wants to make empty promises, at least show the real stuff first.“People aren’t stupid nowadays.“I have had no interest in your offer since the beginning, but I am interested in you.Harvey York held Zoe Garcia’s hand quietly before taking back his card with a profound smile.“Maiden Garcia, some of the things you’re promising me are just too good to be true. Those things are simply out of reach…“But not the Martial Hall.“We’ll still welcome you with open arms when you’re ready!“I don’t go back on my word…”Then, Harvey chuckled before walking away.Zoe’s mouth twitched when she was utterly enraged. She quietly put her hand back in her bag soon after.A card slipped out without a sound.Right when Harvey retrieved his card, he snuck another into Zoe’s hand.Zoe glanced at the Black Card in the corner of her eye with a hesitant look.
Harvey York frowned. He could tell that this was the Indians’ doing without even doing any investigation.Safe to say that they were extremely scheming, carrying out two underhanded tactics simultaneously.That said, Harvey knew Axel Garcia would not dare kill off Amber Levine and the others to prevent the people of Country H from cursing him. After all, this would be too obvious.That was why Harvey was not that worried.“Did anyone suspicious go to the Martial Hall today?” asked Harvey after giving a thought about the situation.“Not really, but those troublemakers from the Golden Palace did.“Though, they weren’t here to cause trouble. They came to apologize to Amber and the others.“The mean woman even groveled right in front of the three…”“The Golden Palace?”Harvey frowned. He instantly knew that something was wrong.After all, they picked such a peculiar time to visit.Harvey quickly called a cab before heading back to the Martial Hall.Harvey arrived before thirty
“That said, if this is really the potion we’re talking about, the only way Amber Levine and the others turned this way is because they ingested something.“But the disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement are in charge of everything we eat and drink here. There’s no way they’d suddenly turn against us either.“Did they eat or drink anything that the outsiders brought in?”“The outsiders brought in…?”Layne Naiswell’s expression changed.“Tea…”“What?” Harvey York instinctively looked over.Layne’s expression instantly worsened.“About the people who came to apologize. The mean woman poured three cups of tea for the young talents while kneeling on the ground.“She said that drinking the tea would mean that they forgave her. If they didn’t drink the tea, she’d keep kneeling on the ground forever…“But the tea leaves and the water are ours. How…?”Harvey’s face darkened before he let out a huge sigh.“It’ll be extremely easy for them to poison those three.“For example, they
At ten o’clock at night. The Golden Courtyard.This place belonged to Flutwell’s sacred martial arts training grounds, the Golden Palace, and was also an important stronghold for their prominent figures.Rain was pouring outside, but the courtyard was still flooded with bright lights and people walking all over the place.Decorations were placed all over the main hall. It was indeed a dazzling sight.After all, this was the engagement banquet of the Golden Palace’s top outer disciple, Koen Bierstadt himself.His partner was none other than the daughter of an elder from the Golden Palace.Safe to say that this was quite a strong alliance.Koen invited many friends in the martial arts world to join the banquet.A banquet like this was where people from the upper social circle socialized and made friends.Even though many people here were martial artists, they were all fashionable.The women wore dresses from luxurious brands while showing off their limited-edition bags and acce
Emily Benett had a slender body with her hair tied into a bun. Her neck was also completely covered in jewelry.A diamond as big as a pigeon egg was hanging on her finger, dazzling every single woman around her.Without looking closely, people would actually think of the two as a golden couple.Koen Bierstadt burst out laughing when the people in front of him were pampering him and Emily while giving toasts.“Please, everyone! I’ll drink with you! Don’t make it hard for Emily!”“I’ll drink for her as well!”Koen happily drank Emily’s glass of 90-point wine.Emily showed a sweet smile after seeing the sight.“You’re too kind, Koen. I regret not being able to meet you sooner.”“Hahaha! Stop showing off your love in front of all of us!”“Come! Come! Let’s drink! We wish you a happy marriage!”The young masters and wealthy ladies had a toast before they downed their wine with a smile on their faces.“There’s something I heard previously, Young Master Bierstadt.”“Harvey York,
The young man, who Linus addressed as Mr. Parker, ignored Ray and immediately set his eyes on Sia. For someone like him who came out of the mountains, fashionable young women from the mountains were women he rarely had a chance to interact with.And then, he glanced at Harvey. He did not bother hiding the disdain in his eyes. It was as if a fly had landed on his delicious cake, and he could not help but feel disgusted. When the image crossed his mind, he said, "Mr. Linus, I don't like people who interfere with our business.""I understand," Linus said coldly. "Let me deal with it."Then, Linus waved his hand, and dozens of mutants from Country A cracked their necks as they moved forward."You're thinking of dealing with who?" A calm voice came from in front of Linus. Then, he saw Harvey was already standing up, as he had already finished helping Sia regulate the energy inside of her. Then, he grabbed the ashtray nearby and hurled it."Ah!" The ashtray landed right on Linus's head,
Sia was Yvonne's younger cousin, and the two of them had met once. She even called Harvey brother-in-law. However, he did not expect the two of them to meet again in these circumstances.Harvey quickly pushed open the car door, walked out, and immediately checked Sia's pulse and asked, "Sia, what's going on here?"Sia instinctively wanted to struggle when a man touched her. However, when she saw Harvey's face clearly, she calmed down and stopped being on her guard."Why are you here?""Stop talking. Your condition right now is quite unusual. Let me give you a hand," said Harvey with a frown. While he could tell that Sia had been drugged, he did not realize it would be so powerful. The person who drugged Sia also did not think about the consequences and used about ten times more than the standard dosage.Most importantly, this was not some typical poison. It was a kind of insect poison that could awaken one's primal desire. And this situation was quite difficult to deal with. With
One moment later, Janus approached Emery with a dark expression. Meanwhile, Emery was brewing tea.Emery had just added some tea to the teapot and relaxedly filtered the first pot of water. Then, he took out his antique cup and poured himself a cup of tea.Only once he was almost done did Emery glance at Janus. "What happened?"Janus had a strange expression before he spoke sternly: "Boss, Ms. Isis of Sherril Corp had just been humiliated. Drake, who had just returned from the Northern Land, had also been wasted. They had even knelt and vowed not to harass Ms. Journi again…Emery's hand held his teacup still as he listened. A glint of strange light illuminated his eyes before he calmly said, "Don't tell me Harvey did this."Janus nodded. "I really can't figure it out until today. Just where did Harvey come from? He didn't care who he offended at all. Here, he had just killed Hector and foiled the Island Nation's plans, and the next he did was hurt Drake and humiliate Country A."
Isis took a deep breath as she gritted her teeth, "If you dare hurt Drake, both the Wards of the Northern Land and the Sherril Corp won't show you any mercy!""Oh? Then, I really want to see how you plan not to show me mercy.After he said that, Harvey placed the revolver he held on Drake's shoulder and pulled it.Bang!There was a huge sound, and Drake trembled. His shoulder had been shot, and blood instantly started to flow. If every shout before this was simply trying to scare him, then this shot was clean enough to the point of scaring them. All of them felt Harvey was a murderer.At this point, they finally understood that Harvey was not a risk-taker. He was even crazier than Drake.There was only silence at the scene. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, as everyone was still stunned. They were truly stunned by how fast Harvey did it, and the entire club's atmosphere instantly plummeted. Many were shaking and trembling.While they believed they were more importa
Isis's expression instantly darkened. Harvey's earlier decisiveness had already made her understand that Harvey would pull the trigger."Bend the knee, apologize, and make your vow," Harvey ordered calmly. "I'm growing impatient. Three, two, one…"Without giving Drake a chance to speak, Harvey pulled the trigger again.Clack!The fourth time. It was still a dry fire.Isis's mind was completely blank, and she was blinded momentarily. While she always looked like someone high-and-mighty, she felt like she was nothing in front of everything Harvey had been doing. She thought that she could easily lose her life.Drake was so scared that he was shuddering.While it was still a dry fire, the next time he pulled the trigger, there was a 50% chance of it being a bullet. No matter who Harvey pointed the gun at, that person would have a 50% chance of going to hell."My, they always said that those who are kind live short lives while those who are problematic live a very long life. I didn
"You're threatening me?" Harvey patted Drake's cheek. "I know you must be very haughty, but the problem is that you're right in my hands tonight. Do you think threatening me like that is going to help you? Do you actually think I wouldn't dare to pull that trigger after you threatened me?"I've killed people like you for a dime a dozen. Nothing happened to me anyway. Why am I still standing perfectly fine here? At the root of it, it's because people like you are useless!"Harvey continued in high spirits, "Hey, Drake. Do you want to make a bet? Let's bet that no matter how headstrong you are, you're going to kneel on the ground and beg me to spare your life."Drake coldly replied, "And what's the wager? Your life?"Harvey blurted out a laugh. "No, you're not nearly valuable enough to make me wager my life. But, if you don't beg me until the very end, I can agree to any of your conditions.""Fine. At the time, I'll make you kill yourself!" Drake said as he gritted his teeth. "We'll
"You're that lucky?" Harvey said, his shock palpable on his face. "Alright, one more time."This time, Drake raised his left hand to block the gun's muzzle using all his strength. He believed that if this continued, even if he would not die from a bullet, he would die from the fear alone. "You're scared?" Harvey looked at Drake curiously. "Aren't you the Madman? Aren't you the third in Wolsing out of all the Young Masters? Why are you so afraid of dying? You're so arrogant while harassing my girlfriend. Why are you such a piece of trash now, huh?" Harvey patted Drake's face disdainfully.In that instant, there was only silence. No one expected this man who called himself Journi's boyfriend to be so big-headed. Not only did he dare to threaten Drake, he really wanted to kill Drake. Was he not afraid the Wards of the Northern Land would show him no mercy?But of course, to someone like Journi, while she was surprised, she was mainly touched. She was certain someone like Harvey would
And then, Harvey waved his left hand. The moment when Drake was stunned, the revolver then dropped into Harvey's hand.Once Harvey had obtained the revolver, he spun the cylinder, unlocked the safety, and pointed the revolver around. All the people who were so smug earlier started to scream and tried to find places to hide after being shocked.Harvey's play with the revolver made it obvious that he would discharge it accidentally.Even Isis, who had always been so high-and-mighty, had her expression darkened for a while and hid behind a marble column subconsciously. He who has nothing to lose has nothing to fear. Harvey looked like he had nothing to lose at all.That was why the foreigners all believed that if they were killed by Harvey, even if Harvey was willing to die for his mistake, it was still something they could not accept. After forcing the group away, Harvey then pointed the revolver at Drake's head.Drake's eyes turned cold. "Who are you, kid? Do you think this is som
In the end, Journi took a deep breath and buried all her helplessness and fury deeper into her heart. Then, she slowly said, "You must be joking, Ms. Isis. You are the daughter of the Sherril Corp from Country A. No matter how bold I am, I wouldn't dare to cross you. However, I simply wish for you to show some mercy…"To thank you, I'm willing to give you some of the assets in Country A I owe you for free as my gift. I believe you won't make it difficult for me, right?"Journi thought she had already lowered herself to the point that she was practically begging Isis to show her mercy. At this point, she even felt that she was giving up. She even forgot that she had Harvey pretend to be her boyfriend.Harvey was pleased, however. Instead of using an excuse like having a boyfriend, she was willing to accept other conditions in exchange for her freedom. This was a sign that she was maturing."Tsk… Assets from Country A? The few mansions you bought on the West Coast?" Isis lit a cigare
