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’
Emily glared fiercely at Harvey.“Don’t think you can boss us around just because you have the footage!”“Don’t think that these people will side with you, either!”“Let me tell you something! They’re all related to me!”“No matter what we do, they’ll never stand on your side! Rather, they’d forget everything that ever happened!”Emily looked around her with a cold gaze.“Come on! Tell this young man what you saw and heard!”Naturally, Emily wanted to test Golden Palace’s authority and status in Flutwell.The guests exchanged glances before shaking their heads.“Nothing! We don’t know anything!”Emily's face darkened in an instant.“How could you not?! You saw this man here hurting everyone, didn’t you?!”“He even conspired with the enemy to poison Amber and the other young talents right in front of our faces!”“We need to take revenge for them!”The guests nodded in unison upon hearing those words.They weren’t idiots; more importantly, they had an extremely good relati
“Another thing: I’ll give you one day to bring me the antidote of the Life Elixir.”“If I still don’t see the antidote by then, I’ll make sure that you burn!”“Of course, you don’t have to believe me. You can try resisting, if you like.”“But if you do, you won’t get anything good out of it…”“Even if you’re from Golden Palace.”Harvey shot them a cold glare before walking out slowly of the door with his arms crossed.Koen gritted his teeth when he saw Harvey acting so arrogantly.“You think you’re impressive, Harvey?!”“You’re making us kneel on Flutwell’s Peak and bring the antidote?!”“You threaten Golden Palace too?!”“Who do you think you are?!”“Do you even have the right to do that?!”“Let me warn you! You’re dead when I report this to my brother Adrian!”“You’ll be the one ripped to shreds—not us!” Emily yelled, her face fierce.“You think Golden Palace is just bluffing?!”“It’s already too late for you to kneel!”“But we don’t have to deal with you right now…”
“First things first,” Harvey said calmly.“I’m the one who reported the incident. Amber and the others were poisoned.”Ansel chuckled bitterly.“Judging from what you told me, the tea they drank must’ve been digested for quite a while already.”“We’ll get Mr. Rudolph and his team to extract their gastric juices for testing.”“But even if we have proof, this is just physical evidence; we’re lacking any testimonies.”“We’ve already sent our men to talk to Koen and Emily.”“However, every single one of them was chased out of Golden Palace!”“At the same time, they’re accusing you of hurting people!”“Because of this, the incident was reported to the highest order; a few elders of the royal court sent word, saying that the country’s reputation is involved and that they want this incident solved as soon as possible.”“If Koen and Emily did poison Amber and the others and conspire with the enemy, they’ll be heavily punished!”“Golden Palace would be dealt with accordingly for cove
The woman who looked like upper management was stunned when she heard Harvey called out to her. "Do you want to see our boss?""My, what a show-off," Nelly scoffed at Harvey's pretentiousness. "Do you want to complain against me by speaking to our boss? Xynthia, where did you find this man? Why is he so stupid? Does he think he can settle this by complaining? Is something wrong with his brain?"Not to mention who does he think he is, thinking he can see our boss whenever he wants? If he can see her, I will fall on my knees and call him daddy!"The other female models all covered their mouths and chuckled. To their understanding, what Harvey did was so laughable and childish. Even the lady from upper management mockingly looked at Harvey and said, "Sir, our company headquarters aren't that far. It'll only take three to five minutes to get there."But, do you really think you can see our boss, Ms. Marlee? Not only is she one of the Judds of Wolsing's three daughters, but ordinary peo
After Nelly finished saying what she had to say, several male models walked toward the women. It was obvious that if Xynthia still refused, she would have a fate worse than death. Xynthia's face turned a little pale. While she was already used to all the big scenes and would bring her bodyguards when she had to go somewhere dangerous to film, she did not expect to be in trouble, even in public, like Northsea Park.She was unsure what to say.Xynthia had already stopped talking back to Nelly and looked around, trying to see if she could get any help or escape. Nelly derisively looked at Xynthia when she saw Xynthia's darting eyes. "Stop looking, Xynthia. Judd Entertainment had reserved this entire space. It doesn't matter if it's the staff or the security; they all work for Judd Entertainment."In short, I am the queen bee of this place, and they'll do whatever I tell them to. That's why your fate has already been set."Nelly waved her hand, and the male models moved extremely qui
Just when Harvey was figuring out what was happening from Journi, Nelly and other female models had already surrounded Xynthia.Nelly gave Xynthia the elevator eyes, and the malice was clearly written on her face. "What right do you think you have to join Judd Entertainment's model competition? Look how skinny you are. I'm giving you a chance to keep Mr. Lee company, do you understand? Why won't you listen to me? Will you only give up after I hit your face until it's swollen?"All the other models were angry at Xynthia once they heard what Nelly had to say."That's right, Xynthia. If you don't listen to Nelly, just leave already!""Our circle is not for someone like you who comes from nowhere.""If we let someone like you join our social circle, it will be an embarrassment.""It's all thanks to models like you who came from nowhere that make others look down on our community, thinking that we don't have class."Xynthia frowned a little, but she still slowly replied, "I'm a stude
"It's true that my family doesn't own Judd Entertainment, but without me, Judd Entertainment would have closed years ago," said the tall woman with a sneer. "Don't tell me you have forgotten that I'm Judd Entertainment's advertising department's superstar?"Harvey did not rush forward and simply squinted his eyes, looking at how things unfolded. Journi noticed the change in Harvey and softly said, "The tall woman is indeed the superstar for Judd Entertainment's advertising department. Her name is Nelly Parker. I heard that she's one of the mistresses of Sawyer Judd, the third son of the Judd family."She had suppressed plenty of newbies who could have become big stars in their own right within Judd Entertainment. She would use everything she had to kick a person out whenever her status was threatened to the point that the other person couldn't survive in the entertainment industry anymore."I've heard that female students from Wolsing's Academy of Motion Pictures have been sold to t
Harvey smiled. "You're welcome. Since I'm already treating you as my friend, I will help you deal with these problems to the best of my ability."Journi shot a strange look at Harvey but did not say a word. The atmosphere around them was becoming somewhat awkward. At this time, Harvey's gaze fell upon a small plaza not too far from the café.He saw plenty of filming equipment scattered around while some handsome men and beautiful women were filming something. It looked like there was some kind of event happening there.Journi looked at what Harvey was looking at. Then, as if she remembered something, she pointed at a logo next to the plaza. "Looks like it's an event organized by Judd Entertainment."Harvey saw a figure among the crowd and subconsciously asked, "Judd Entertainment?"Journi nodded. "The entertainment company belonged to the Judd family. Their business mainly involves filming dramas, movies, and advertisements. They're most widely known for their advertising. I heard
Elric was an experienced man. As someone who had survived and thrived in the business world for so long, he knew what Jon meant. Jon had not even done anything, but he already said he had nothing to do with its failure. And he even wanted Elric to sign a declaration.In short, Jon was already boasting when he said he had a 30% chance of success.When the thought crossed his mind, Elric squinted his eyes and took a deep breath. He waved his hand and signaled his secretary to give him a bank draft. Then, he laid it before Jon, saying, "Master Jon, 30% chance is still too low for me, so you don't have to do anything. Please take this 150 thousand dollars as compensation for coming all the way here."Jon smiled and picked up the bank draft, putting it in his pocket without hesitation. Then, he said as if he remembered something, "You're pretty wise in the way of the world, Mr. Elric. Usually, those in our industry won't recommend someone else even if we fail in a task. But seeing that y
"A charlatan?" Elric was shaking. "What do you mean?"Pamela smiled coldly. "That day when he saw me, that little bastard told me I won't live past 40 years old. He made it sound so believable too! In reality, whoever believed him was the real fool. While I'm feeling a little unlucky lately, once Master Jon is here, everything will be solved!"You should kill that charlatan as quickly as possible. I'm getting angry just thinking about him!" said Pamela. The moment she stood up, she suddenly felt her world spinning and instantly collapsed on her bed.Elric shuddered, instinctively wanting to call for the doctors in the health resort. However, Pamela gritted her teeth and said, "Quick, give Master Jon a call. My time is really running short here…"Half an hour later, Elric paced back and forth in the health resort's VIP room with his hands behind his back. Not far away from him was Pamela, who was already lying in bed with her face pale despite how energetic she had been earlier.Sh
"Mr. Stanton, I'm someone who likes to give second chances. However, I won't keep on giving those chances away," Harvey said to Elric as he stood up. Then, he picked up a paper towel from the table and wiped Elric's face."That's why I'm going to give you one final chance. Come see me once you have thought things through. You can choose to either give up and watch me dethrone you as the next chairman, or agree to my demands so that I will withdraw my candidacy. Don't appear in front of me anymore before you think things through. I've been quite busy recently, and I'm not in the mood to waste time with you…"After that, Harvey ignored Elric who wanted to say something and left with his hands behind his back. Elric had only regained his composure some time later, but even then he couldn't stop his eyes from twitching.He wasn't a gangster from the streets, but a truly important figure. He could already tell a lot of things from Mr. Lee's attitude. Harvey's identity was now revealed
"Why you little…!" When Mr. Lee heard Harvey was telling him to kneel, he could feel himself at the boiling point. However, he suddenly saw the badge right in front of him. He was instinctively startled, feeling his vision was covered in red.The others might not know what that thing was, but how could he not know? It was the Longmen Association's Scion Badge!Which also meant that the young man in front of him was the scion of the Longmen Association!The moment Mr. Lee realized it, he didn't hesitate and instantly kneeled on the floor with a thump. Blood instantly splattered the moment his knees hit the ground. He didn't even scream despite the pain, and he didn't even channel his energy to resist the pain.He kneeled there with his back straight like a child who had committed a grave crime, shuddering.Elric's expression turned blank. Even someone who had traveled far and wide like him didn't understand what had happened. A second ago, Mr. Lee was still yelling at Harve
