“I’m grateful you care about my health. I’ll do a check up as soon as I get the time.”“But we’ll have to end things here. Ellen and I need to go!”Noemi had a profound look on her face.“I wish you all the best.”Harvey could tell Noemi didn’t believe him after seeing the distrustful look on her face.“Why don’t you give me some time? I’ll take a look for you…”“Enough, Harvey! I’m trying to save your face for Ellen’s sake!”“Stop trying to cross the line!”Noemi stepped forward and spoke to Harvey in a voice only he could hear.Harvey sighed, then he left without saying another word.Noemi scoffed coldly before taking her daughter inside the Toyota Alphard.Ellen hesitated; she wanted to say something, but she couldn’t go against her own mother.“That man did save you, true. He also beat up Eden and the Cobbs…”“But you can’t be sure if he’s working together with them to fool you!”“Eden was your ex, and he almost took advantage of you; what more a man you just met!”“
Meanwhile, Harvey didn’t know that Noemi actually went for a check-up.After leaving the police station, he gave Katy a call.He then called a cab and headed to the Cobb family’s villa.Katy was confident he was able to get out; she quickly got the chef to prepare a big meal to celebrate his return.“What are you planning to do next?”Katy poured Harvey a glass of red wine, smiling. She was deeply interested in his promise of building a family for her.This was the best course of action for her, anyway.On one hand, she wouldn’t need to be forced around by Grandma Cobb and the rest of the Cobbs.On the other hand, there would be a chance for the family’s to be restored.“It’s simple, really. Since the Cobb family wants to cling to the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance so badly, we’ll just have to break them off.”“I’ll turn the organization against them. Soon enough, they’ll serve us.”“As long as the organization’s on our side, the Cobb family’s business will be under
Harvey froze after seeing Katy’s surprised look.This was too much of a coincidence.That said, Katy could use the formula to reopen her family business.She would be able to restore the family’s past glory in the shortest time possible.While the two were discussing how to put the formula into production, Katy’s phone suddenly rang.Katy’s face darkened the moment she picked up the call. “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, Sir York,” she said, her head hung low.“Gael managed to freeze every single asset I have in the South Sea by suing me.”“Without the assets…”Katy chuckled bitterly; she didn’t think that the Cobb family would be this shameless.If it wasn’t for someone in the Cobb family tipping off Gael, he wouldn’t have sued Katy so quickly.“Gael and the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance…”Harvey smiled and tapped Katy’s soft hands. After that, he dialed a number.“Don’t worry, I’ll handle this.”“I told you that I’ll help you. I’m a man of my word!”…
Irene didn’t say another word upon seeing Julian acting this decisive.Harvey had ordered them to bring Gael back for a talk.If they asked for more help, Harvey would probably start to doubt their abilities.Soon, five people sat inside the box.The box wasn’t as big but it looked quite exquisite; the dance floor could clearly be seen from there. The people outside the window looked like ants.Tasting fine wine while watching the pretty ladies go crazy would make anyone feel like a king; it was truly one of life’s greatest enjoyments.“My dear guests, what would you like to have?”Julian and the others didn’t sit for long until a waitress in a nurse’s outfit showed up; her fishnets wrapped around her slender legs and provided a sensual sight.“If I order a Dragon Set, you’ll stay here with me for the night, right?”Julian flashed the nurse a lustful expression as he stared lecherously at her legs.He reached out and copped a feel for himself, pretending to be a rascal playbo
Dozens of men in suits rushed in and surrounded the entire box.A man wielding a golf club was leading the charge; he had a wretched look on his face, and murderous intent seeped out of his body.Julian’s face turned frosty. “We’re still drinking here, dammit!” “What the hell are you trying to do here?”“What do you think?!”The man in front waved his hand, his face filled with disdain.“We’re here to kill you off, of course!”The men pounced forward, flailing their golf clubs in the air; the entire place was in utter chaos.Julian’s body had grown a little weak after drinking a bit too much, so he couldn’t react to the entire situation in time.Irene, on the other hand, kicked the coffee table in front of her with her slender legs, knocking a few men to the ground.Instantly, she knew that their plan had failed.“We’re leaving!”Bam!The man in front charged forward and kicked her to the ground.He was naturally an expert martial artist.Irene was a skillful fighter,
Bam bam bam!After hearing their orders, all the men started smashing beer bottles at Julian York.Julian barely managed to block a few attacks but was still struck down after that.Bam!Then, the leading man slammed his golf club right on Julian’s back.A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth before he kept twitching on the ground.“Stop! Stop right now!Irene Johnson was in a complete mess.“You’ll regret this!”Slap!The leading man slapped Irene in the face.“Regret?!“Sure I will!“Let me tell you something! You people from Country H have no right in front of us!“You think you can just show off here just because you have a little bit of money?!“You want Young Master Padlow to have a toast with you?!“You just want to grab him when he gets here, right?! He told us to take out every single person from Country H just before!“Go! Beat the sh*t out of them!”Dozens of men behind him wretchedly chuckled before they became more relentless and hasty with their at
“Why should I?!“I’m not even interested in you!”Rooster disdainfully crouched down and patted Julian York’s face before taking off his belt.“Your woman’s quite the looker. She has the body and an innocent look on her face. I like that a lot!“Since she’s so important to you, I’ll just go on her right in front of you so you can watch along…Rooster walked forward with a wretched smile before gesturing to the men so they would lift Irene Johnson’s butt.“Move!“Every single one of you!”Irene kept struggling.“You people are completely lawless! You won’t get away with this!”Rooster tore Irene’s black Balenciaga stockings apart with a heinous smile.“I’ll die happy if it’s right under this piece of meat!”Bam!Right when the men were about to take off their belts, the door was kicked open once again.A figure charged right in.Bam bam bam!A few men in front of the door were instantly sent flying. They could not even react to the situation at that moment.Harvey York
Rooster’s eyes kept twitching when he saw the sight. He wanted to step forward, but he realized that his body had constantly been trembling.Rooster barely managed to squeeze out his last bit of courage when he glared at Harvey York.“Who are you, kid?” he asked with a cold glare.He had been training in the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance for many years. He also had fought many experts in his lifetime.He had gone up against a lot of thugs in the Golden Triangle before as well, but it was his first time seeing someone as headstrong as Harvey.Bam!Harvey swung his feet forward without wasting a single second.Rooster instinctively blocked with his hands but was instantly snapped in half.He was sent flying into a marble pillar before sliding down slowly.Blood flowed from every single orifice. He was in extreme pain. He wanted to say something but could not utter a single word in the end.‘He’s insane!’Harvey’s strength was just terrifying. The crowd would not even da
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
