“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
The crowd smirked at Katy and Harvey upon hearing Grandma Cobb’s words.The elders of the Cobb family were glaring coldly at Harvey as well.They wanted to see just what Katy’s man could do under Grandma Cobb’s pressure.Everyone would be happy if Harvey couldn’t do anything; Katy would be sent to the Padlow family in an instant.“Do you want to get the supply rights back, or do you want to force Katy to marry Gael?”Harvey glanced at the crowd with a mocking look; he finally managed to understand the entire situation.Eden didn’t come for Katy this morning of his own will. Grandma Cobb was the one who instigated the entire thing.“Grandma Cobb, give me three days to think. I’ll do my best to solve the problem.”Katy took a deep breath; she would never marry anyone for no reason whatsoever.“Three days?”Eden instantly cut off Katy.“You know that our supplies are about to expire, right?”“We’ll be done for!”“It doesn’t matter if you even solve the problem or not at that
"Camellia?" Harvey said with a faint smile. "That sounds like the name of an ordinary housewife. Anything special about her?"Clarion's eyes twitched before saying, "Camellia is one of our distant relatives. When she was young, she was called the "Queen Bee". It was said that when she was young, the reason she fought was to make her opponents into her servants. If Grand City had a criminal underworld, then Camellia would be the queen of this underworld. "I've already cleaned up the car park, so Platinum Casino probably won't know what happened yet. However, Camellia has too many contacts in Grand City. It won't take long before she finds out it's you."Clarion hesitated for a little before continuing, "Mr. Representative, while you're very strong, Camellia's just too much of a pervert. I have a feeling that you two will see each other soon. Either you find a way to make peace with her, or you hide. If you do become enemies, then she won't stop until either one of you is dead."It
"Bastard!" All the men in black exchanged a glance and all pounced at Harvey with a dagger. Harvey looked like he could fight, but they were sure that one man couldn't win a fight when outnumbered.They were going to use their numbers to kill Harvey.Slap! Smack! Slap!Harvey didn't let them have their way and immediately slapped the men in black. He struck all of them onto the ground with one slap each.It was just a simple slap, but Harvey made their faces swollen and destroyed their self-confidence. They couldn't understand how despite being so slender, Harvey could fight so well.Forget about retaliation. They couldn't even avoid a slap from Harvey!The woman instantly pointed her gun at Harvey and sneered coldly, "You brainless, ignorant fool. You don't understand who you've crossed and what crime you have committed!"Slap!Before she could finish, Harvey had already appeared in front of her and slapped her away too. She screamed, thrown into midair, her back slamming ag
The woman who was drinking coffee frowned. It was obvious she was very unhappy with Havey's sudden interference."Kid, don’t you know you shouldn't meddle in affairs that don't concern you?" The bald man glanced at Harvey, disdain on his face. "There are many times when those who meddle in others' affairs die horribly."The bald man gestured to his men and the three of them pounced at Harvey, obviously wanting to teach him a lesson. However, they had just gotten a little closer when Harvey took a step forward.It was just a simple move, but the woman who was drinking coffee froze before yelling, "Baldie! Watch out!"The bald man was also instantly soaked with sweat. Harvey was just too fast! He never imagined someone could move so fast. Before he could even retreat, Harvey had already appeared right in front of him and slapped him.Smack!There was a loud smack, and Harvey's hand had already hit his face. The bald man's head slammed onto the ground, blood instantly flowing from
"I can't explain everything. I'm at the car park in Grand City's Central Business District! Please, save me!" Mrs. Hoffman begged. Harvey could hear the fear in her voice.While Harvey didn't know what had happened, he knew that if it wasn't because she was already cornered, she wouldn't have asked a stranger for help. He immediately put on the GPS and said, "Wait for me. I'll be there in three minutes tops."Very quickly, he drove into the car park and parked at a relatively hidden corner. Once he got out of the car, he put on a face mask. Opening the door, he saw a few men in black forcing a woman in a traditional garb into the corner.They held a cigar in their hands, huffing and puffing. They would even snicker perversely. A few security guards handling the safety of the car park weren't that far away, but they stood far away in the corner, too frightened to look.From that alone, it was obvious that these men in black's status must be quite high.Behind them, a coffee table
Harvey was feeling extremely awkward. He faked a cough and changed the topic. "Mr. Wenzel, I don't know what you've been doing in the last decade, but for you to be able to return in such a critical time means you've been paying attention to Grand City all this time, correct? You have let things take its course in Grand City, haven't you?"At Harvey's words, Wenzel and Vaida both put aside the matter of Harvey's marriage.There was a hint of surprise in Wenzel's eyes. "Why do you think that?""Simple. From the way Dan managed to become a scion, I can tell there are plenty of different factions within Grand City. All these factions are probably only respectful of you on the surface. The moment you disappeared, they did everything they could to push Dan into the seat of power so that they could have a puppet they could control."It's sad Dan didn't realize that and simply believed he was skilled in the game. In truth, without their protection, he's no one worth mentioning."Wenzel
Wenzel chuckled and said to Harvey, "You're too humble, Harvey. While you're not the chef, you're the customer. The customer is always right in matters of taste. As a chef, I have to make sure my customers are happy, correct? Otherwise, no one will come anymore."What I want to know is whether you want to be full, or to have a good meal. If you just want to be full, there's plenty for you to taste. But if you want to have it good, you can probably eat a few loaves in the morning. You'll be hungry before lunch."Harvey gave it a thought after listening to Wenzel. Still, he sighed and said, "In reality, I want both. The oven tests a chef's patience a lot. You need to do it again and again, but you need different heat for different pastries. The faster you want them done, the harder it is to make them delicious."That's why if you ask me, rather than trying to simply be full, I believe that one should make each pastry the best it possibly can. If there's something you can't bake or can
"Once everything was ready, Lord Howell then stood on the hill overlooking Lord Felipe's camp across the Red River. He believed his victory was at hand. "Suddenly, a cold breeze blew and the flag of his army hit his face. Only then did he suddenly realize that Lord Felipe's ships were coming from the North, while his own ships were stationed in the South. This was during winter, and the wind was blowing the Northwest. Using a fire attack would not only spare Lord Felipe's forces, but his own ships would also be burned."Lord Howell fell sick and he couldn't be cured. All the generals and soldiers were very nervous. At this time, Lord Kye's chief strategist Lord Albion came to visit him. He said to Lord Howell, 'I have a prescription to cure you of your disease. To defeat Lord Felipe, flame is the best weapon. Everything is ready now except for the Divine Wind.""The wind changed direction as soon as he said that, and Lord Felipe was defeated. And that wind had decided the national
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the ambulance quickly appeared and took Dan and everyone away. Whether they had truly fainted or pretended to faint, they all cooperated throughout the ordeal.At the very least, fainting was better than being humiliated.And that was how a political move ended quickly before it could even officially begin. Everyone watching this was somewhat speechless. Their attention finally shifted to Harvey for a while before disappearing.Harvey couldn't be bothered by them. He smirked and then turned the streaming app on his phone off.After this, Lapis had become much more careful. She quickly arranged for more personnel to defend all the residence's entrances and exits. At the same time, she also sent more personnel to keep an eye on Dan so that something like this wouldn't happen again.Harvey simply shrugged and said nothing. He believed something like this wouldn't occur again. Dan was no fool. He would know that the same trick wouldn't work twice.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!Stickers of rockets filled the chat on the phone's screen. Harvey looked at the stickers and happily said, "Looks like you can attract quite the attention, Dan! You're almost as popular as a small YouTuber! The rocket sticker is one dollar, I think. There are so many here, meaning you've already earned around 60 dollars by kneeling a minute here! This is so worth it!""You…" The prideful Dan could feel himself choking. Suddenly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.He was the scion of Grand City. The scion of Parkerville! Yet to Harvey, he had just become a YouTuber who could earn 60 dollars a minute. Most importantly, Harvey was streaming him kneeling in front of numerous netizens. He ground his teeth, infuriated.Not that far away, Clarion and Neve quickly left. The moment Harvey appeared, they had a very bad feeling. When they saw Harvey fix his phone on the selfie stick, they could feel a chill down their spine. Realizing they weren't part of the st
