Harvey York waved his hand before walking to the meeting room with Colton Torres and Elanor Stanton.Before even pushing the door open, a loud slam on the table was heard inside.Bam!Soon after, a dominant and arrogant voice could be heard.“Where’s Colton?! Isn’t he the leader of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance?!“Why isn’t he here to see us yet?!“He thinks he’s more impressive than us or something?!“Today’s the last day of the deadline! Does he think he can actually hide from us?!“Let me tell you something! Your actions are infuriating! There will be consequences for this!“We’ll raise your punishment to the highest level! Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance will be crushed for sure! The people who train in martial arts here will be disgusted the moment they hear that name!“The people of Country H will hate you for all eternity!”An Indian wearing traditional clothing was the one who slammed on the desk. He was the one yelling around the room.The man was definitely
“You’re the legendary Harvey York?”Obviously, Emilio Garcia and the others had read Harvey’s information beforehand.After seeing Harvey show up, the representatives straightened their backs before they sized him up.Their faces were filled with utter disdain when they saw such an underwhelming look on Harvey. He did not seem like one of those prominent figures with dominant auras at all.‘So what if someone like this can win a few fights in the ring?’‘The true battle is always about smarts!’‘Just let the subordinates do the fighting and killing!’Emilio did not even try to hide his disdain when he coldly chuckled.“Do you think you can negotiate with us on behalf of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance?”Dane Benett frowned.“What’s the meaning of this, Leader Torres? How can you be this reckless?”“I’ve made my decision. From now on, Harvey will represent both me and Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance.“His words are my own.“Whatever he agrees with, I’ll do the same.“I
“You’re insane! What kind of money do you think you’re asking for?!” exclaimed a worker.Slap!“Who told you to speak up?Emilio Garcia slapped the worker aside before walking forward with a cold smile.“Isn’t Country H the world’s strongest country?“Your country also has the world’s largest economy judging from how fast you’re developing…“If anything, you have the most money.“So what if we take fifteen billion dollars from you?“This is nothing.Emilio extended his hands toward Harvey York’s face.“Enough haggling, Harvey. If you even say a single word, I’ll make your life a living Hell!”Slap!Harvey casually swung the back of his palm across Emilio’s face.“Country H has outstanding people, land with abundant resources, and money that grows on trees, but what does it have to do with you people?“Not just fifteen billion; we won’t even give you fifteen dollars.”“Aaagh!”Emilio stumbled backward while Harvey blatantly insulted him. His face was utterly swollen when
Emilio Garcia let out a cold chuckle.“Fine! Since you don’t want Prince Osborne’s help, we’ll just go all out then!“Because of Harvey York’s actions, you’ll have to compensate ten times the previous amount!“Other conditions will remain the same, but Harvey will have to kneel right in front of India’s royal palace for three whole days!“Make a choice, Leader Torres! Are you planning to accept our conditions, or will you endure the storm that’s about to come?“For now, only a few Country H Budokans from abroad were smashed up and robbed, along with a few people being deported!“Even I wouldn’t know what will happen next if things keep escalating!“When that happens, I want to see just how you’ll explain to your people!Haru Miyamoto showed a faint smile.“I suggest you accept the conditions right now.“After all, Country H and the Island Nations have been in good relations. If it weren’t for Harvey, we wouldn’t be fanning the flames like this!”“Stop pretending, you three!
Emilio Garcia was showing an expression of utter disdain as he opened the envelope.He believed that he would never be moved no matter what was inside the envelope.He was a noble Indian. He came here to reclaim his pride…But there was another reason. Clyde Osborne had given him a lot for this occasion.Harvey York would not be able to sway him just with a small treat. No simple blackmailing would work on him either.But the moment he saw what was inside the envelope, his expression frantically changed.He started reading the piece of paper out of disbelief, desperately trying to find anything wrong with it…But the more he read, the worse his expression would get.Haru Miyamoto and the others wanted to take a peek, but Emilio instantly pulled the paper away.“Look at what you have!” exclaimed Emilio while he was trembling uncontrollably.Haru and the others froze for a moment before they opened up their respective envelopes.Their faces instantly changed after seeing the l
Every single killer move of the respective Martial Arts Alliances was an untold secret.Only the leader and the core disciples would be able to learn such secrets…But not only did Harvey York manage to get ahold of that information, he even understood the weaknesses of the moves of the four great Martial Arts Alliances.This was utterly terrifying.“You b*stard! Where get you get this from?!Emilio Garcia held the paper in his hand while he trembled uncontrollably.“How did you know India’s Martial Arts Alliance’s secrets and weaknesses?!“This is illegal!“Colton Torres! Dane Benett! You need to give me an explanation about this!“If not, there’ll be consequences for Country H to bear!”After hearing Emilio’s words, Haru Miyamoto and the others glared at Harvey fiercely, waiting for him to give a statement about the situation.They also felt extremely guilty. With their identities, they naturally had the right to learn everything from their Martial Arts Alliances…But peo
Clyde Osborne’s face darkened in an instant. He was gritting his teeth when he resentfully glared at Harvey York.He never expected Harvey could easily point out such weaknesses in other people’s martial arts.Strength like this was just way beyond his comprehension.In Clyde’s mind, nobody was stronger than his dominant trump card, no matter how strong people were at fighting…But Harvey exposed the representatives’ weaknesses and made them fear him.Then, who would dare go against them?Clyde showed a horrible expression when he exclaimed, “What do you want?“So what if you can point out their weaknesses?“Other than proving that you stole their secrets, what else can you do?“Let me tell you something! These people won’t be scared off like this!“The people who oppose you won’t be scared off because of this either!“Your information is useless to these representatives!”“They don’t have to be scared of me.Harvey showed a bright smile.“They can even pretend that the i
“Nobody knows if the four great Martial Arts Alliances will fall even if you expose the information to the public…“But we’ll do everything in our power to kill you!” exclaimed Haru Miyamoto while gritting his teeth.Rowen Caddel and Gordon Moreno showed horrible expressions without uttering a single word.“Oh? You say that like you won’t kill me if I don’t expose the Martial Arts Alliances!Harvey York showed a playful expression.“Weren’t you the ones demanding me to reveal everything I learned before I kneel in front of India’s royal family?“You’re saying that you’re being reasonable…“And I’m the one committing the sin?“If you don’t want something done to yourselves, then you shouldn’t have imposed it on others in the first place.“Come! You clearly have something up your sleeves to fight me if you’re still willing to threaten me right now,” reasoned Harvey calmly.“Then, use it all on me! See if I’ll get scared!”The representatives were all gritting their teeth after
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
