Colton told his secretary and assistant to lead the way to the Underground Eatery downstairs.The receptionist smiled after seeing Colton.“Welcome, Elder Torres. You look as vigorous as usual!”“Same thing today?’Colton smiled.“That’s right. I’ll take the Heavenly Box. Bring me your signature dish and wine too.”Colton then smiled at Harvey.“There aren’t a lot of dishes here, but all of them are the best of the best! You should try them.”Harvey smiled; he was about to say something when he heard a faint chuckle from behind.“Aren’t you Elder Torres?”“What a coincidence! You’re a little late though.”“I’m sorry, but we’ve already booked for the Heavenly Box.”Harvey instinctively turned around. He saw a man in a yellow robe, surrounded by several people. An old familiar face was right beside him as well.It was Clyde!Harvey stared curiously; he didn’t think Clyde would dare show up in front of him.Since Harvey wasn’t the main attraction and Clyde didn’t say anythi
“Enough! Do you think you have the right to speak here?” Dane exclaimed, taking a step forward.“Where are your manners?”“Did you forget everything I’ve taught you?”“Leader Torres wouldn’t dare fight us for the Heavenly Box if we just say so!”“However, you don’t have to say it like that!”“How is Leader Torres going to feel about this?!”“You’ll reflect on this when we get back!”After scolding the secretary, Dane looked at Colton with a small smile.“Sorry, Colton. My secretary’s just a little too straightforward. Please don’t mind her!”He then glared coldly at the secretary.“Are you still not apologizing?”The secretary crossed her arms after hearing those words.“I’m so sorry, Leader Torres.”“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.”“It’s not your fault you weren’t taught well. A filthy mouth can’t utter decent words, after all.”“Of course you wouldn’t know how to behave when you’ve been living in the gutter your entire life.”Colton’s face was expressionless; he was
“Since Clyde is the prince of the Osborne family, then he’s naturally a citizen here.”“Will he do anything bad to the country just because he can’t have a simple meal?”“Maybe the rumors are true after all. Maybe the four great Martial Arts Alliances banded together against us because of him.”“If that truly is the case, then I’ll make sure to investigate the situation further.”“I’m not afraid to tell you this either, Dane.”“You people from Golden Palace are getting a little close to the Indians right now. Best make sure you don’t let me find anything.”“If I do find anything, you won’t get away with it!”Colton turned around and made a gesture to invite Harvey into the box.“We’re taking this box,” he exclaimed coldly.“I’m sorry, Leader Torres. This box is already occupied!”A beautiful woman with a slender body, clad in a black uniform, walked out and stopped Colton in his tracks.“What’s the meaning of this, Sophia?” Colton demanded, his tone ice. The woman was the
“But we can’t just let this slide!” Colton exclaimed.“Of course.”Harvey smiled, and then looked at the receptionist.“You heard what Sophia said; the meal’s on the house.”The receptionist had a disdainful look on her face; she didn’t think that Harvey and the others would still eat here after being utterly disrespected.Even so, she still gave them a faint smile.“If you’re still willing to eat here, please come this way.”“No need!”Harvey smiled at her before making a call.“Get ten pickup trucks here. I’m taking all the food away.”An hour later, Sophia walked out of the Heavenly Box with Dane and Clyde, whose stomachs were full of wine and food.Judging by their appearances, they had quite a lot to drink.When the receptionist saw everyone come out, she hurriedly jogged over and handed over a receipt .“This is Leader Torres’s spending, Vice Leader Benett. They thanked you for your hospitality before they left.”The receptionist was sweating profusely.“They actua
Even though they had successfully disrespected Colton, they had to pay four million and three hundred thousand dollars for it.It would be hard to actually tell who was being disrespected here!More importantly, Dane felt that he was the one who asked for this.‘This is embarrassing! This is unforgivable!’Many were shocked to see Dane inside Colton’s room.Several workers from the Martial Arts Alliance came over nosily.“Calm down, Vice Leader Benett. You have a pretty high blood pressure, so please don’t get angry.”“If you get a stroke and die, it’ll be bad luck for everyone here.”“Leader Torres likes this office a lot. He won’t be able to use it if that’s the case.”Harvey looked calmly at Dane while he sipped his tea.“Another thing. What happened before had nothing to do with Leader Torres. I was the one who got the workers to take everything.”“I was thinking of a way to reward them, too. Thank you for your generosity, Vice Leader Benett.”“My subordinates were very
“That said, you kicked the door down and started jumping around the place before we could even talk about anything.”“People who know understand you’re angry because you can’t afford to treat us to a meal…”“But people who don’t might just think that you’re on the Indians’ side.”“Let me warn you, Vice Master Benett. You better keep your voice down.”“If not, all the responsibility might just shift toward you.”Harvey flashed Dane a playful look.“You sharp-tongued b*stard! What else can you do besides talk?!”Dane was furious. He wanted to slap Harvey to death so badly.That said, he knew that he was no match against Harvey. He couldn’t simply lash out in public either.Dane took a deep breath to calm himself down.He would’ve had a stroke if he didn’t.“Vice Leader Benett, there’s no point running your mouth over such a trivial matter.”“Why don’t you talk about your deal with Clyde instead?”“We gave you the Heavenly Box. Don’t tell me you two haven’t talked about anyth
“Don’t you think the demands are a little too cruel, Vice Leader Benett?”Harvey nodded.“If we accept those conditions, all martial artists in Country H will lose their dignity.”“How are we supposed to stand up straight in the future?”“They’re even bringing in supervisors to get a hold of every single one of the Martial Arts Alliance’s files and documents…”“How are we supposed to function on our own in the future?”“Besides, if I actually give them everything I’ve learned, they’ll use it against the Martial Arts Alliance. Next thing we know, they’ll get everything from the sacred martial arts training grounds.”“You’re a smart man, Vice Leader Benett. Can’t you see that the four great Martial Arts Alliances are trying to break us?”Harvey slowly revealed the risks of the demands calmly.There were three conditions targeted toward Harvey, but in actuality, this was just a test.If Country H were to surrender, then the four great Martial Arts Alliances would have ways to ma
Colton’s expression was as icy as he exclaimed, “This is completely unjust!”“How can I possibly accept it?!”“I completely understand you, but so what?!”Dane chuckled coldly.“The four great Martial Arts Alliances have the authority right now. Since they have a chance to act so unjustly, what can you do about it?”“Are you planning to end this by taking a group of people and challenging the four great Martial Arts Alliances in their Budokans?”“Wake up! Do you think you’re the Head Coach himself or something?”“Do you think you’re invincible?”“Besides, the Head Coach was only able to crush the five strongest countries because the Martial Arts Alliances weren’t involved!”“If they did, there probably wouldn’t be a Head Coach in our country!”“You think we can just show off however we please because we have a Head Coach in our country?”“What a joke!”“Besides, he belongs to the royal court!”“We’re trying to fix the underworld!”“The royal court has no say in this! Do y
Nelly fell on her knees without delay and started to slap herself dozens of times. Finally, she muttered an apology to Xynthia before turning tail and fled.It was obvious that after what had happened, she was no longer the queen bee of the advertising department. What Sawyer had said also meant that she would become a non-person in the entertainment industry. Someone like her would not have a good ending.However, Harvey was unaffected despite knowing how Nelly's life would end. Instead, he thought she deserved it. It was already quite lenient for her to end up like this for a woman who did not know her place and wanted to bully her juniors.-After it was all done, Marlee invited Harvey to a three-story office building that was only a couple hundred feet away.Xynthia and Journi followed them there. The two were similarly quite surprised when they saw Marlee's change of attitude toward Harvey.Marlee did not know who Xynthia was, but she was acquainted with Journi. They just di
"Tell him to give me his name!" Sawyer said. "I don't care if he is in Wolsing or anywhere in Country H. I'll make sure he regrets ever coming to this world!"Sawyer sounded extremely domineering, and his tone was very arrogant. It was as if the entire world was his to destroy whenever he wanted to. Not to mention, one could hear from his tone that he did not care about Marlee at all.Marlee's expression darkened, and she wanted to speak.However, Harvey waved his hand and said, "Sawyer Judd, is it? Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Harvey York. If you still don't know who I am, you can ask your leader or your grandmother. You can speak to me once you know who I am."Also, your woman has harassed my younger sister and that upsets me a lot. You better be able to give me an explanation. It would be best if you could give me one. If you can't, I'll give you one instead."Harvey calmly replied, but his words were even more domineering than Sawyer's from the other side.What the hell?
"Mr. York, why did you suddenly visit Judd Entertainment? Do you have any order for me?" asked Marlee Harvey in a serious tone."Not exactly," Harvey pointed at Xynthia with his right hand. "That's my younger sister over there, but we're not biologically related. She's currently working at Judd Entertainment. But what happened? Your advertising department's superstar is forcing her to sleep with an old man, otherwise she'll ruin her career."I'm here to question you on behalf of my younger sister. Is this a company rule?"When Marlee heard what Harvey had to say, her eye twitched, and she quickly turned around and slapped Nelly, who was caught completely unprepared.Nelly cried out in pain as she held her face and landed on the ground, looking at Marlee in disbelief. "Don't you worry, Mr. York. I'll give you a satisfying explanation about this."Harvey calmly said, "This is not the first time we met each other, Marlee. So, I know this has nothing much to do with you. That's why
Harvey had ignored Nelly's taunts and continued with the countdown. "Three minutes."At this time, Journi approached them from the back. Journi gave Xynthia a strange look and then said to the woman from upper management, "Here's my advice. You should give Ms. Marlee a call right now. Otherwise… I don't think you'll be able to shoulder the consequences."Compared to Harvey, who was wearing something quite plain, the outfit Journi was wearing, while still minimalistic, was all from luxury brands and could only be bought through reservations.She was wearing the Lady Arpels Pont des Amoureux watch, worth hundreds of thousands.What Journi was wearing gave immense pressure to the woman and, after a moment of hesitation, she pulled out her phone and started to dial a number."Oh ho! So, you're a sugar baby!" Nelly said derisively as she instinctively grew hostile to Journi when she saw her. "A sugar baby saving a damsel in distress, becoming the white knight of another woman… How can
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
