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
Harvey glanced at Katy; he didn’t think she’d accept such a horrible condition.Katy sighed.“They used my grandfather’s life against me. I was forced.”Harvey nodded; then, he glared coldly at Eden and the others.He didn’t think the Cobb family would be this shameless.If Harvey boarded the plane and left, Katy would’ve been bossed around however they wanted.Eden’s eyes twitched after seeing the icy look on Harvey’s face.“W-What? She made our family suffer! It’s only natural for her to pay the price!”“Eden and the others were a little out of hand, but it was all Katy’s fault in the first place!” the elderly person with a goatee exclaimed desperately.“The Cobb family isn’t the same as it was before!”“We finally managed to work together with the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance. And then, she came back and ruined everything!”“I even pitied her while she was getting beaten up!”“And then what happened? You showed up out of nowhere before beating up our people!”“H
Half an hour later, Harvey and the others went to the Cobb family’s meeting hall inside the villa.The entire place was built around mountains and rivers; the entire building had a vintage feel to it.Different types of culture were perfectly blended into one; the builders’ ambition could clearly be seen through the immaculate designs.It was a shame the Cobb family was on the verge of falling apart.The meeting hall was about three thousand and two hundred feet wide. An expensive chair was set right in the middle of the hall.Rows of wooden chairs were placed on both sides; it was an extremely lavish sight.Harvey and the others stood still as footsteps could be heard from the back.Six people showed up from behind the hall. After a while, an old lady with white hair stepped out.She was a little small; her back was slightly arched, and she had a cane in her hand. She seemed quite scrawny, but her gaze was very sharp.She had a cold look on her face as she glared at Harvey; h
“This will negatively affect our core interests. My brother and I are terribly anxious about it!”“That was why we went to Katy’s home, hoping she’d give us a proper explanation or apologize to the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance…”“But throughout the entire process, we were a little reckless as we couldn’t control our emotions properly while we were teaching Katy a lesson.”“That said, we did everything for the sake of the entire family!”“And then what happened?! Her savage partner beat us all up just because he can fight!”“More importantly, he even slapped our elders down without hesitation! He’s completely disrespecting us!”The two elders with swollen faces stood up to show everyone what Harvey had done.Katy stepped up after hearing those words.“Things didn’t happen this way, Grandma Cobb…”“You b*stard!”Grandma Cobb didn’t even give Katy a chance to explain herself and swung her cane at Katy’s leg.“It’s been so many years, yet you still don’t care one bit abo
“As for the rules…”“No matter how powerful your family actually is, you can’t just outrule the law now, can you?”Harvey was giving Grandma Cobb no respect whatsoever.“I’m only telling you this once…”“I was the one who hit Gael. I was the one who broke his arms as well.”“Katy had nothing to do with anything.”“Eden took the opportunity to threaten a marriage between Katy and Gael. He wanted to rise within the family so he could kick Katy out!”Harvey then glared at Eden.“You can’t tell me you didn’t do everything for this exact reason.”Eden’s face darkened instantly.“What do you mean by that?!”“Do you think Grandma Cobb would believe such a lie from a man like you?”“I did everything for the sake of the Cobb family!”He screamed in righteous fury, desperately trying to hide his true intentions.“I have no ulterior motive!”“If I did, I'd be struck by lightning!”Eden started to panic. He did all this to Katy for two reasons.Number one: Katy’s presence threaten
