“Perfect timing! An ignorant tourist is challenging my authority! He even hit me just now!”“He’s acting all high and mighty just because he has a capable bodyguard!”“Not only did he tell me to call people here, he also threatened to break all of my limbs!”“I told that guy my cousin’s Vance Toft, and that you’re backed up by the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, but he said he doesn’t care!”Jace was quick to fan the flames; he wanted Harvey killed as soon as possible.Jace called Vance here because the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance was protecting Vance. Vance’s bodyguards were all professional fighters; ordinary people wouldn’t be able to compare against them.No matter how strong Harvey and his bodyguard were, there was no way he’d stand a chance against Vance’s subordinates.Jace was sure that Harvey was finished!The beautiful women were filled with burning passion after seeing Vance arrive.‘What’s Harvey going to do with all these people here?’They stared
Vance had been crushed completely at the Marina Bay Clubhouse, while his personal bodyguard was crippled by a single slap.He knew how scary Harvey actually was.He was planning to look for someone to support him after a few days; he wanted a few expert fighters by his side before he confronted Harvey again…However, he didn’t think that he’d bump into Harvey here.Compared to Harvey, his subordinates…Immediately, Vance’s throat went dry. “Sir York…”His body was on the verge of giving in; he was about to kneel at that very moment.A sharp pain was still lingering in his head. His personal bodyguard Zora instantly froze as soon as she saw Harvey; she wouldn’t even dare go against him at all.“That’s him, Vance! He’s Harvey York!”“I investigated him before! He’s just a tourist from Country H!”Jace pointed at Harvey with a wretched smile.“That b*stard slapped me in the face and ruined my business!”Jace gritted his teeth, his face bright red, hoping that Vance would sta
Vance Toft could still feel his head aching ever-so-slightly. His body instinctively trembled as soon as he heard Harvey York’s words.“Of course not…”He did have opinions about this…But definitely not at this very moment.Even if he wanted revenge, it would be on another occasion.He would have been an absolute idiot if he was still going against Harvey, even when he knew he was completely outmatched.That was why Vance gave up as soon as he could.“No?”Everyone froze after hearing Vance’s words. All of them became sluggish in an instant.It was hard to believe that a local powerhouse who could trample on anyone would just give in like that.This was unimaginable!The beautiful women were stomping their feet out of rage. Some of them even slapped themselves in the face to make sure that they were not dreaming.The next moment, Harvey walked toward Vance.“Kneel.”Obviously, he was not planning to let Vance go at all.Not only did Vance try to force his hand on Katy C
The crowd went dead silent after seeing the sight.Their bodies occasionally shuddered while they all froze in place.They could not accept what had happened in front of them.Jace Lee felt extremely sluggish as well. It felt like they were living in a never-ending nightmare.After patting Vance Toft’s face, Harvey York showed a faint smile before Jace.“Looks like your cousin here won’t be able to stand up for you after all.“Even he isn’t enough to scare me off…“Tell him to stand. See if he dares to do that without my permission.Jace and the others felt parched. They did not know how to respond to Harvey at all.He knew that he would turn into Blackburn City’s biggest joke if he could not reclaim his reputation right then.Harvey wiped his fingers with some tissue before he glanced at Jace.“You cousins are the same. You want to take advantage of Ms. Cobb and a piece of Ms. Moreno.“I already took care of you. Do you want me to take care of your younger cousin too?”‘M
Jace Lee felt utterly resentful. He was covering his swollen face when he furiously yelled, “Why are you hitting me, Vance Toft?!“Who even is Harvey York?!“Isn’t he just a tourist?!“So what if he’s from Country H?! We stomp on people like this every year!“You should be helping me! Why are you siding with him?!”Jace was furious. He felt helpless and felt utterly irritated as well.He did not understand why his trump card was this afraid of Harvey.Even if Harvey was a capable man in Country H, this was still no grounds for local powerhouses in Blackburn City like Jace and Vance to be scared!People from Country H had no right to show off in a place like this!Besides, in Jace’s mind, he probably would not have the need to be afraid of people that Vance was terrified of.No matter what, he was still the third young master of South Sea’s Lee family!Even if he was not in line to be the family’s successor, he was still a man with immense authority! Why would he even be scar
‘Idiot!’‘That idiot!’When he saw Jace Lee acting recklessly, Vance Toft was on the verge of tears.He relentlessly slapped Jace around because he wanted him to know that Harvey York was no ordinary man.The situation could only be solved if they apologized to such a man.He did not expect Jace to reject his kindness and look for his own death.“You…Vance pointed at Jace while gritting his teeth.“I’m doing this for your own good! If you keep acting like this, you’re on your own!”“Who even are you?!“I got you here to deal with Harvey! Not only did you not do that, you even slapped me in the face and insulted me!“Did you forget who supported your rise to power?!“Let me tell you something! I’ll deal with you when I’m done with Harvey!“We’ll see if you’d still dare show off in front of me after that!“You think you’re impressive after showing off for such a long time, huh?!“No matter how powerful you are, you’re just a servant for the Blackburn City Martial Arts All
“Do you think you can go against the leader of the organization?“If my senior hears about this, you’ll be dead in a few seconds!“Even a hundred of you wouldn’t be enough to fight him!“If he wants to, he can slap you all the way across the globe!“You better cherish your final moments!“When my senior’s here, you won’t even get a chance to beg!”Jace Lee did not want to talk to Harvey York any longer. He had never seen such an arrogant man in his entire life.The beautiful women returned to their senses before glaring at Harvey disdainfully.After all, he had no right to provoke such a powerful man like Jace.“Do you really not need me to get someone, Sir York?Julian York showed a serious expression on his face. He tried warning Harvey again after checking his phone for more information.“Trey Bierstadt is a peak King of Arms who defeated countless experts in Blackburn City! His name isn’t just for show!“Someone even considered him the most promising person to be the se
“You do have some talent, Harvey York…“But so what?“You’re just trash in front of Young Master Bierstadt anyway!“Right! He’s strong enough to make CEO Toft kneel, but what’s the point?“He’s lucky enough to show off once or twice!“But in front of a genuinely prominent figure, all this means nothing!“This is just incompetent rage of someone who’ll never succeed!“He’ll know just how much of a gap he has with Young Master Bierstadt soon enough!”Everyone was showing pitiful expressions as they stared at Harvey.No matter how powerful Harvey actually was, his background was still inferior compared to Jace Lee and the others.“Senior!”“Young Master Bierstadt!”“Mr. Bierstadt!”A group of people immediately swarmed Trey Bierstadt. Jace showed an extremely miserable look when he was in front of the crowd.“What happened here, Jace? Why’d you call me here to help?”Trey calmly rolled up his sleeves, as if nothing mattered to him.Jace coldly groaned.“This outsider kept
After that, the duo were just going to leave like that. Yvonne frowned and then calmly said, "Stop them."After she made her orders, dozens of security guards walked out from the corner. They were all security guards from the Xaviers of Wolsing, and each was extremely strong.They did not attack but simply blocked all the entrances. When Morganna saw that, she was instantly enraged. "What's the meaning of this? How dare you stop the path of those who come from a world of freedom? Do you know what will happen if you do this?"Harvey merely smiled and asked, "World of freedom? Why don't you tell me which world of freedom you're from?""I've already gained permanent residency in Country A, so of course I'm from Country A!" answered Morganna smugly. "Country A is the most advanced country in this world. Now that we have joined Country A, of course we're people of freedom! I'm warning you, now that we're from Country A, your law is useless against us! Now, step out of our way!"Harvey
The expression of the man and woman both darkened with Yvonne's questioning. "Who are you then? What right do you have to question us? How can you prove that this is a private hospital? How can you prove that this place is not under the jurisdiction of the Health Department? Who do you think you are? The boss of this place?"The woman cried out arrogantly. Even her arguments were full of disdain."That's right. You're not the boss of this place, so why are you interfering in our matter? Go away, or I'm going to make you pay for our destroyed drone!" The two pretended they did nothing wrong, and Yvonne's sudden appearance spoiled their plans.Harvey observed the two coldly. While they acted very roguishly, their flexibility and arrogant tone showed they were anything but ordinary.At the very least, they were very used to situations like this."I'm sorry, but I'm Saint Mary Hospital's CEO," replied Yvonne with a smile and then pointed at the man's mobile. "Delete everything you've
Harvey calmly asked, "Do we have any leads?"Jesse shook his head. "Currently? No. The one who's behind this hid their tracks too well. I've already sent my people out to investigate the source when this happened, but we didn't get any valuable leads. But at this time, finding the person behind this isn't important. The important thing right now is that we need to save the patriarch. "Otherwise, if anything happens to him, Linus will have another excuse to attack us tomorrow at the press conference."Harvey nodded, pulled out a mobile, and gave it to Jesse. Then he said, "Since I'm heavily suspected of being the person behind this ploy, I can't do anything to help him in this situation. But I believe Oskar will be able to help for my sake.""The National Doctor Senior Oskar Armstrong?" Jesse was slightly stunned when he saw the number on the screen of the phone Harvey handed to him. A moment later, he was already making a call on the other side. He wanted to contact him, but only
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne arrived at Saint Mary Hospital, a hospital the Xaviers had invested in. They immediately headed to the ICU.When the two of them walked in, Jesse, Sia, and the others from the Xaviers quickly walked over."Yvonne, Harvey." It was obvious that they were treating Harvey as one of them already.Yvonne nodded and asked, "What happened?"Jesse extended his hand and said, "You'll know when you see."Yvonne and Harvey exchanged a look and walked into the ICU together with Jesse. Then, they saw countless machines continuing to operate, surrounded by blinking lights in the innermost ward. Nashon was lying in the hospital bed with different kinds of liquid flowing into him through the tubes connected to him.As the liquid was intravenously fed into him, Nashon's life seemed to be hanging in a dangerous balance."What happened to Nashon?" Yvonne asked. She could not believe it. She just spoke with Nashon over dinner last night. Why would Nashon suddenl
Next morning.Two more days until Linus was released from prisonThis time, the Xaviers did everything they could. On the one hand, they used the media to set certain things as top searches. On the other hand, they used all the spies they had planted to find all the contracts regarding their work with the Island Nation.But as time passed, things did not progress well.At the CEO's office in Sky Corporation, Harvey had just finished reviewing some documents. Just when he was going to force himself to go through the rest, the office door opened slightly.Next, Yvonne slowly walked in with a cup of well-brewed coffee and lightly placed it on the desk. When Harvey saw her in the office, he was a bit surprised. "Why are you here? Are the problems with the Xaviers all done?"Yvonne shook her head. "Not yet, but we did everything we could. Whether we can solve it will depend on fate, I guess. But rather than staying at the residence with a frown, I rather do some work at Sky Corporatio
Janus was slightly surprised. "If we simply watch how things develop, Linus would absolutely fall. Nashon is a schemer and with Jesse's relationship with Dragon Cell and Dragon Guard… Even Yvonne isn't any ordinary woman. Not to mention that now Linus is imprisoned, everything will be over by the time he's out."Emery snapped his fingers and said, "Of course, I can't do something too obvious as an observer, but as Linus' friend, it's fine if we give him a word of advice, right? Linus is from Country A Xavier Inc., so we only need to tell him what will happen next. If he still doesn't know what to do, he deserves everything that comes for him."Janus nodded as he listened to Emery casually explain it. Since Linus started it all, he needed to end it. Everything Linus was facing right now should be solved by himself.Meanwhile, given Country A Xavier Inc.'s abilities and reach, countering the Xaviers of Wolsing should not be that hard once they knew what they wanted to do."There's an
Janus hummed under his breath for a while before saying, "Sir, aren't you overestimating Harvey too much? Think about it. He might be smart, but only a little. On Wolsing's chessboard, he's only a pawn at most. It's pure luck that he can accomplish some things and offend a few people here and there."Emery set down the teacup in his hand and sighed. "Lucky? I admit that he might be lucky, but can someone be so fortunate that he can take over both the Country H Commercial Group and Country H Martial Arts Alliance at the same time when he literally just arrived in Wolsing?"And then, it doesn't matter who goes against him, whether it's a Young Master from the top ten families or the arrogant Islanders, all of them end up badly. And then he even interfered with the top ten families and five hidden families' family matters, which meant that he was already part of the top social circle in our country and had access to our resources."But most importantly, someone like him was completely
Emery's gaze did not even shift as he calmly said, "Speak."Janus whispered, "Linus Xavier, who just came from Country A, had been sent to prison by the precinct. From the news we received from the precinct, this precinct's higher-ups have a vested interest in this, and they've even received some interference from Country A's foreign relations department."That's why the precinct will handle this as fairly as possible. According to my sources, Linus won't be convicted or deported, but he would be locked up for at least three days and three nights."Emery finished the tea from his cup and said, "Isn't he back to regain the Xaviers of Wolsing? How did he end up behind bars when he just arrived? Who did that?""Harvey," Janus did not want to mention the name, but he had to. "The man has a good relationship with Journi and impresses Princess Sienna. And according to my sources, he's also the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group and the representative of Country H's Martial Arts A
"Send out our men and use all our contacts and spies in the Island Nation. We must find all the originals and copies of the contracts we've signed with the Islanders and destroy all the evidence immediately. We must do it quickly and destroy them before Linus is released. If we can't, the problem we face will be worse than anything we can imagine," said Nashon with a stern expression.Harvey narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me help as well. Yvonne knows Sky Corporation very well. Let me know if you need Sky Corporation's ability or my help. While we seemed to face only Country A Xavier Inc., everything was too much of a coincidence."I believe this might be a continuation of what happened to the Shinto Way. The people behind all of this had to be from Country A. Not only is he aiming to throw this family into chaos, but he might also be aiming to throw the entire country into chaos. That's why we have to be quick, and we must achieve it. We must control the risk and losses to be as l
