After being afraid of people catching on to something, Koen Bierstadt quickly stood up and showed a warm smile.“The conflict between Harvey York and me isn’t that serious anyway.“I don’t want to talk about that incident anymore.“Besides, people like us wouldn’t care about such trivial things like taking revenge.“No matter the case, Harvey has done much for the country by participating in the fights.“For my sake, please don’t look for him for more trouble.“As for how he’ll end up, that’s for him to decide.”The young masters and wealthy ladies nodded in unison after hearing Koen’s words.“You’re so generous, Young Master Bierstadt!”“We’re the narrow-minded ones for even saying something like this!”“Harvey did all those heinous things and went against so many people. He deserves to be punished anyway! There’s no need for you to do anything!”“Alright. Enough about this. Let’s eat and drink to our heart’s content!Emily Benett stood up to change the subject before she
But after the initial shock, everyone showed disdainful looks.The name started to ring a bell. They quickly came to their senses soon after.‘Isn’t he one of the top talents fighting against the Indians?’It was a shame that everyone in Flutwell believed that other than Amber Levine and the young talents, the others were utterly useless.They thought Harvey York only got lucky because the Indians did not come to Flutwell before to challenge him.If not, he would have been done for by then.‘How dare he even cause trouble here?’‘Who does he think he is?’‘A God of War?’Koen Bierstadt and Emily Benett’s faces darkened instantly.They did not expect that Harvey would show up at such a crucial time.Not only was he challenging the couple, but he was also challenging the entirety of the Golden Palace!Harvey crossed his arms as he walked inside through the rain.Soon after, eight disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement calmly walked in.They were carrying a black coffin when
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!In just a single moment, a string of golden knives flew out in fierce succession.A quick and ruthless attack!Many disciples of Golden Palace fell, screaming in pain as they tumbled down, rolling on the ground while covering their wrists.Harvey was impressed. It seemed like Layne had recovered quite a bit.If that wasn’t the case, she wouldn’t be able to make such a spectacle.“What?!”The remaining disciples of Golden Palace were shocked.They all knew who Layne was, but they never imagined that she was actually this terrifying!Layne pulled out a long, thin golden sword.She took a step forward and then jumped right past the disciples at lightning speed; the disciples all stumbled back and immediately held their wrists.In just a single move, all of them succumbed to defeat!The disciples all came from the same sacred martial arts training ground, but Layne was simply way out of their league!She threw her sword away right after.A disciple, wh
Many people knew Adrian to be one of the most outstanding disciples in the Golden Palace’s outer circle, and that he had a chance to become the young lord of the sacred martial arts training ground.Adrian must’ve assigned Smoke to Koen in order to get the support he needed and gain total control of Golden Palace’s outer circle.Simply put, the engagement banquet represented Adrian’s absolute will.Not only did this mean that Adrian was determined to take over the entire outer circle, but he was also dead set on permanently dealing with Harvey and the others.If they only ruined Koen’s engagement, they would probably still have the chance to live. However, they were destined to die horrible deaths if they tampered with Adrian’s plans!Bam!An elderly man in a yellow robe took a step forward from the corner where he stood, and then pounced.He looked like an eagle diving down onto his prey, flying right toward Layne before swiping its claws.A killer move!The man was planning
Even though Smoke was filled with hate and resentment, he dared not cause any more trouble.He had no choice but to crawl to the side and make way for Harvey.He knew that if he continued challenging Harvey at this point, Rachel would definitely beat him to death.“Harvey! How dare you cripple my fiance’s subordinates?!”“You’re even here with a coffin! You’re ruining my engagement banquet!”Emily’s face darkened in an instant when she saw Harvey walking in.“You think we’re easy targets?!”“Go! Kill him!”No matter the case, Koen was still the Benett family’s son-in-law.Disrespecting him would mean disrespecting the Benett family.Thus, Emily had no choice but to take action.Besides, she was terrified of Harvey saying things that couldn’t be made public. She wanted Harvey dead as soon as possible.“Die!”Eight experts from the Benett family pulled out their golden swords and pounced at Harvey without hesitation.Bam!Rachel laughed nonchalantly. She grabbed the sword
“Yeah! Why would my fiance do something like that?!”“He told everyone to let you off the hook for the sake of the country and its people, too!”“He’s such a generous man! Don’t you think it’s shameful to slander him like that?!”“Besides, it’s your problem that Amber and the others were forced to be in deep sleep! That has nothing to do with us!”“Don’t think you can say whatever you want just because you have some fighters with you!”Clap, clap, clap!Harvey clapped, his face filled with admiration.“No wonder everyone’s calling you two the world’s best cheating couple!”“Looks like it’s all true, after all!”“It’s my first time seeing someone lie through their teeth like that.”Koen’s face darkened instantly.“You’ll pay for saying things like that, Harvey!”“Have you thought of the consequences for saying that without proof?!”Harvey smiled.“Proof? Didn’t you two idiots already give that to me?”“When did I say that Amber and the others were poisoned? When did I say
“Maiden Garcia had a chat with me today.”“She said that she wants me to join her. In exchange, she’ll give me ten billion dollars, three hundred acres of land, and the title of Brahmin!”“She told me you’re already on their side too.”“The royal family of India even gave you the title of Kshatriya!”“And for that, you got your cousin to fake an apology to Amber and the others in the Martial Hall.”“You made her mix the Life Elixir into the tea before she fed it to the young talents,” Harvey said calmly.“At the same time, the royal family agreed to give you the title of Brahmin if you keep devoting yourself to India while lurking in Country H.”“That said, they never expected Zoe to sell you out, no?”“Not only did she give me a lot of proof, but all the conversations you had with the Indians were recorded as well.”“Tell me. Aren’t you scared of dragging your entire family down for conspiring with the enemy?”“Huh?!”After looking at Harvey’s calm look on his face, everyon
Koen waved his hand, gesturing to his subordinates to shut the door.He then took a step forward and glared at Harvey.“As far as I know, it hasn’t even been a few weeks since you’ve known Amber and the others.”“I’m pretty sure the relationship between you people isn’t as close as you portray it to be.”“You’re here to get back at me for them? What a joke!”“In this day and age, every man fights for himself! Do you really think I’d believe your stupid lies?”“I know exactly why you’re here right now!”“As long as you ignore Amber’s incident and forget about what happened today…”“As long as you don’t say a single word about this…”“I have a check worth one hundred and fifty million dollars for you. Consider this a gift for our friendship!”Koen painstakingly pulled out a check.This was given to him by the Indians…Yet, he had to pull it out before he could even warm it up in his pocket; he was completely infuriated by this.That said, he had no other choice.If he didn’
Coco looked at her phone and saw her Facebook alternate account had just added Tina. She frowned slightly. The only reason she approved the request was so Willy and the others could use that to pinpoint Tina's current location. She didn't expect Tina would dare send her voice messages…and so many of them in one go, at that.Originally, Coco wanted to delete all those voice messages. However, the last message read, "This is for your own good, so you better give it a read." There was even a smiley face at the end.Coco was slightly stunned when she saw it. She exchanged a look with Dan, and the two told everyone to leave before playing the voice messages.Coco wasn't interested in everything in the beginning, since it was Tina begging for her life. She didn't take it to heart. But when she reached the end, Coco's expression suddenly darkened. "How you and your brother poisoned Alexei, how you ordered Sky Plane to ambush the mayor for your brother's sake, and the truth behind Duran
"Coco, it's fine. This is not Willy's fault," Dan said calmly as if he had everything planned and saw through everything.He pulled out a vintage wine that he had been saving, uncorked it, and poured Coco a glassful, hoping his sister could calm down at this key moment."Who could have expected at this day and age, a mere servant could fight back when forced into a corner? Tina was indeed just an ordinary woman, but when facing a life-and-death situation, it was quite normal for her to have a burst of energy. She ran straight for the Fosters' territory, which was obviously meant to make things difficult for us."Willy not performing as well as we expected is only because we can't make an enemy out of the Fosters just yet. This is for my good, so stop blaming them anymore."At the very least, he has already arranged a few snipers nearby. The moment Tina shows her face, they'll kill her immediately. Things aren't so bad that they can't be solved," Dan said, sighing.Then, he continu
"What do you mean?" Tina was slightly stunned, unable to react to Harvey's words.Harvey waved a familiar-looking phone. In front of her, he tapped on the red exclamation marks. When the resend button appeared, he tapped it. Ding! Ding! Ding!All the voice messages that failed to be sent out earlier had all been sent out. Meanwhile, Tina finally managed to react. Tina screamed."Ahhh! Harvey, you fool! You're going to get me killed!" Tina screamed.She momentarily forgot the wounds on her as she almost jumped from the bed, as if wanting to choke Harvey to death. She knew very well what the sent messages meant for Coco.Most importantly, she even told Coco she had a recorder with her…This…This gave Coco the perfect reason to get her killed. Her fate had been decided the moment Harvey pressed the send button!That bastard!He really was a bastard!How could there be such a shameless man in this world? If eyes could kill, Tina believed she would have already killed Harve
When she was on the brink of getting killed, Tina wanted to drag Coco down with her. She even blurted quite a few secrets. The problem was, she remembered the red exclamation marks when she sent out her voice messages.That meant she probably still had time. She didn't need to go against Coco permanently. She still had time to patch things up. As for Harvey… To someone like Tina, he seemed too good of a person to be true.She instantly knew who she should cross between the two. Offending Harvey? She would at most be slapped a few times. Offending Coco? Well, she would face certain death. As the thought crossed her mind, Tina took a deep breath and put on a sincere expression."Please, Mr. Representative! I understand what you're saying, and I know who I should stand with. However, I'm just a manager for Port View Restaurant. The most I know is Princess Coco taking advantage of the restaurant."The problem is that I don't have proof of that! Even if I do, it won't deal any substan
The way Tina saw it, she wouldn't have fallen so far if not for Harvey and Vaida refusing to listen to her and even humiliating her in Port View Restaurant. It was all Harvey's fault!"Looks like I've saved someone ungrateful. I saved your life after going through so much effort and even got you here by spending so many resources. But you? You look at me as if I've butchered your entire family."Harvey casually grabbed a vitamin water. After opening its cap, he put a straw in and fed it to Tina. "Even after this, you still didn't dare to be angry at the person who wanted to kill you. You still wanted to pin the blame on me, didn't you? Do you think your savior won't kill you? Or do you think that Coco is scarier than me?"Harvey sighed. "No wonder the saying goes that the righteous always live a shorter life compared to the wicked. If everyone who was saved acted just like you and didn't know how to be grateful, no one in this world would do good anymore. If Grand City's moral
"We already know the answer without even having to see it, right?" Harvey said to Vaida with a shrug. Then, he gave Tina's phone, which he had picked up earlier, to Vaida. Vaida was slightly stunned. After a few tries, she managed to unlock the phone and the Facebook Messenger app popped up. When they looked at the red exclamation marks, Harvey and Vaida knew very well that this wasn't just a normal conversation.Vaida tapped on the replay button, and their expressions began to change—especially hers. Her expression changed from one of calm to one of searing fury. Even her breathing was getting laborious.Harvey extended his hand and patted her shoulder with a sigh.This was normal, however. Things were extremely complicated in Grand City. Some of the truths revealed right now were within his deduction.-Around six in the evening, Tina fully awakened after the anesthetics inside of her had finally lost their effects after surgery. She was currently in a private hospital owned b
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
