Boom!Gael Padlow was also a member of the Martial Arts Alliance. His teacher came from the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, and his father was the vice leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance.Not only was his family extremely knowledgeable in martial arts, but he was also quite a gifted man.As soon as he closed in on Harvey York, he instantly threw an immensely terrifying and fierce punch.The shame he endured because of Katy Cobb was all converted into energy that he dished out toward Harvey.According to his judgment, he was sure that every single one of Harvey’s bones would shatter, even if he did not die from the punch.“Die already!”Gael wretchedly chuckled when he pounced forward at lightning speed.The punch alone could kill a bull!To Nellie Padlow and the others, Harvey was scared witless.“You see that, Ms. Cobb?!“This is the man you chose. This is the Cobb family’s live-in son-in-law!“Other than a sharp tongue, what else can this man do?“He’s j
Gael Padlow’s face turned dark in an instant.“I’m Gael Padlow! I belong to the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance!“My teacher is the vice leader of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance!“You’ll die for doing this to me!“You shall pay!”Gael spoke up when he was lying on the ground, paralyzed.Bam!“Move.Harvey York instantly kicked Gael aside. His body flew right into a wall before he passed out with blood spurting out of his mouth.“I don’t care who you have behind you. I don’t care what kind of power you have, either.Harvey stepped forward before patting Gael’s pale face.“I’m giving you one chance. Suspend the business.“If I find out that you’re here cheating money again, then don’t blame me for what happens next.”***Nellie Padlow and the others were completely ignored.Harvey kicked the disciples aside before getting in Katy Cobb’s car while keeping Ellen Moreno safe.Then, Katy drove over to the hospital under her family’s name. After sending Ellen to the
Katy Cobb showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes before she cracked a smile again.“I didn’t believe it when people said you were a jerk…“Now, I’m pretty sure that you’re exactly that.“You’re already gone as soon as you’re done playing. You’re completely hopeless.”Harvey York’s mouth twitched. He did not know what to say against Katy’s relentless flirting.After all, it’s always the hardest to accept a beauty’s grace.Harvey would not dare go against the love of such a domineering person.Harvey had no other choice but to change the subject.“Judging from the conversation between you and Gael Padlow, your family must be in deep trouble right now.“Other than the South Sea’s royal family, the three great families have the most extraordinary background.”Katy had no intention of hiding anything from Harvey.“Other than that, the high and mighty Martial Arts Alliance, the first and second-rated families, along with some of the small forces here, have been causing chaos
Harvey York showed a profound expression on his face before he lightly chuckled.“Is it really that bad? Are you not even confident enough to keep me here?“Or are you saying you don’t want to share your earnings with me when everything’s all set and done?”“It’s not that it’s bad. I know you don’t like getting yourself in trouble,” replied Katy Cobb while looking at Harvey.“I’m already really grateful for you treating my grandfather’s wounds.“I shouldn’t be asking for more help.“Here are three first-class tickets for the plane tomorrow at eight in the morning.“I’ll invite you here again when everything’s settled. I’ll make sure to treat you kindly when the time comes.”Then, Katy set a letter in front of Harvey and looked deep into Harvey’s eyes before leaving.Harvey put his hand on the letter as he showed a faint smile behind Katy’s back.“Things are getting interesting. I’ll visit Elder Cobb tomorrow morning. If nothing’s going on, I’ll head back after that…”Harvey
“You offended Young Master Padlow just for the sake of a random stranger?”“And then you say he’s the family’s live-in son-in-law?”“How shameless can you get?”“Don’t you care about the family’s reputation?!” Eden screamed in rage.“Don’t you know that we’ve become Blackburn City’s biggest joke, all because of you?!”Eden couldn’t stop himself from rising and slapping Katy in the face.Katy couldn’t react quickly enough, and felt a sharp pain soon after.A bright red palm print could be seen clearly on her elegant, yet swollen face.Valery and several elders didn’t stop Eden at all; they expressed glee when they saw Katy slapped in the face.“I can handle my own problems. I don’t need you to teach me how to do things.”Katy endured the pain and rage in her, and took a deep breath; she knew her actions would definitely give the second and third house a reason to come at her…Still, she didn’t think that Eden and the others would be this quick to take action.“We’re not teac
Katy’s face was completely swollen after she was slapped around a bunch of times.The Cobb family were gossiping up a storm at the sight.“Katy’s such a troublemaker! She’s already hurt us once by hiding herself in Hong Kong and Las Vegas just because she didn’t want to marry someone!”“And then this happens! Does she want the entire family dead?!”“Senior Padlow’s really angry because of this! If he breaks off every single collaboration of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance with us, we’ll be losing hundreds and millions of dollars at minimum!”“Can Katy even bear the responsibility at this point?”“We all call her the master of the head house, but this is how she repays us!”The crowd kept shaking their heads.A few elders of the houses bore cold expressions; they were naturally disappointed in Katy’s actions.Katy took a deep breath.“I’ll deal with the supply rights, Eden. Now let them go…”“You’re dealing with it?”“With what? With your damn face or body?”Eden h
“Accept the deal already!”Valery kept whipping Katy; the former’s eyes were filled with resentment and rage.Ever since she was a kid, she harbored extreme jealousy toward Katy, who was always prettier and more outstanding than her.Now that she had a chance to dish out some damage, she would naturally take the opportunity.“Hurry up already!”Katy stumbled back after taking another round of whipping; she almost fell to the ground from the impact.“I’ll never marry Young Master Padlow…” she repeated, her tone steady.She then shot a worried look at the backyard.Since Dean was resting there, it’d be bad if his rest were to be disturbed by these people.“What? Are you worried about the old man? Why don’t you worry about yourself first?”Valery chuckled coldly when she looked at Katy’s eyes.She walked beside Katy and whispered slyly, “Don’t you worry. There’ll be someone taking care of that old man soon enough.”“When he’s dead, we’ll put all the blame on you! Hahahaha!”V
“B*stard!”After seeing his sister getting slapped, Eden screamed in rage and pounced forward angrily.Harvey calmly grabbed Eden’s neck and the latter’s head on the stone table.Bam!There was a loud bang, and the tea set on the table broke into pieces from the frightening impact.Blood covered Eden’s face completely. Harvey pulled Eden aside; Eden’s head was constantly spinning from the attack. Harvey then sent the latter flying with a single kick.The Cobb family froze; a second later, they charged at Harvey with stone chairs.Harvey instantly slapped them aside without even sparing them a glance.He kept slapping every single person Eden brought to the ground.In just under a minute, dozens of people from the Cobb family had fallen to the ground; they were all covering their faces as their bodies twitched in pain.“I don’t care where you come from or what you can do, kid…”“But this is the Cobb family’s territory!”“We’re one of the great families of the South Sea!”
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
