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!”
After comforting Katy, Harvey turned to Eden and the others with a calm gaze.He finally knew why Katy wanted him to leave.She understood just how headstrong her family was, and was afraid that Harvey would be put in danger because of her.“Where did this man come from? How dare you hit us like this?!”Valery came to her senses.She stumbled off the ground while covering her injured face.“I’ll kill you!”“I want you two locked behind bars for the rest of your lives! You’ll wish you were dead when that happens!”“You’re Katy’s man, aren’t you?!”Eden crawled up from the ground, his face covered in blood. He gritted his teeth.“You two are a match made in heaven for being so shameless and arrogant!”Eden wanted to fight back, but he could only glare at Harvey in anger. He was terrified of Harvey’s dominant and fierce attitude, so a glare was the only thing he could manage.“Enough! Stop talking to this b*stards and call the cops!”Valery was screaming like a madman, and fl
