Bam!After beating up Gael Padlow and his father, Chase Smith kicked the two toward Harvey York.“They’ve constantly been going against you because of my lack of discipline, Governor York.“Please punish them as you please.”Chase showed a respectful look. He would not dare show a hint of arrogance then.At this point, Gael’s face was as swollen as a pig’s. He wanted to say something but could only stare at Harvey with a fearful expression.Rhett Padlow, on the other hand, lowered his head with a vengeful gaze.He did not want to believe that the person they were trying to crush was actually way out of their league.Harvey showed an emotionless expression when he saw through Chase’s trick to gain his trust.He patted Chase’s face before calmly saying, “You should handle your own men instead, Leader Smith.“It’s already eleven o’clock at night. There are still seven hours before daylight.“Since you’re this understanding, I’ll give you some time.“Julian York will arrive at
Harvey York returned to rest after he was done with his business.On the next day, early in the morning, Katy Cobb came over to his villa to have a chat over breakfast. A security guard jogged over to report Harvey about something.“Sir York, there’s a man at the front door. His hands are covered in plasters.“He said his name is Gael Padlow. He’s here to ask you and Ms. Cobb for forgiveness.”Harvey cracked a calm smile.“Ask for forgiveness? Interesting…”Katy froze. She did not know what happened last night for Gael to come all the way here just to apologize.But since she was a smart woman, she only smiled without saying another word.“Come on. Let’s have a look outside.”Harvey took a sip of his drink while he walked to the front door.A man was seen kneeling in the courtyard.He was kneeling with his back up straight. He did not even dare move a single inch.Compared to last night, his dominance from the Lost City Bar was nowhere to be seen.He seemed extremely miser
Even when Katy Cobb had a strong heart, knowing that her previous family was this relentless toward her was a huge blow.After chasing Gael Padlow away, Harvey York told Katy to have some rest and stay with Dean Cobb.He planned to deal with Katy’s affairs himself.He had the Cobb family’s formula for the Silver Elixir. Katy’s assets were about to be usable once again…The best course of action would be to register a company for the elixir’s transportation as soon as possible to keep up with the sales or production for Katy.Harvey believed everything would return to normal as soon as there was business for Katy to do as soon as she had a running company.After getting the number of Katy’s secretary, Harvey sent a few texts to arrange a couple of things.When Harvey was about to head out in the afternoon, his phone suddenly rang.Harvey picked up the phone soon after. A woman with slightly broken English could be heard speaking from the other side.“Are you Sir York? I’m the s
Harvey York sighed secretly. No wonder the secretary was being toyed around like this.Not a single man in the world could resist such a young and innocent-looking woman, after all.After sizing up the secretary, Harvey replied, “You are…?”“My name’s Harper Klein,” replied the secretary shyly.Harvey nodded.“Right. Who was the one who said those shameless things to you again?Harper hesitated for a moment.“He’s the man in charge of the approval registration, Rico Padlow. He lives here.“It’s said that he belongs to the same family in charge of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance. That’s why he’s been acting so high and mighty in front of everyone.“I heard that the people who come to register, especially the women from abroad, would have a hard time because of him!“The men lose their money while the women lose their bodies…”Harper was filled with worry and fear.She wanted to do an excellent job with Harvey’s task…But she could not accept that she needed to give
Harper Klein felt resentful. She was furious but would not dare say a word about it.The beautiful woman coldly scoffed before she said, “I’m doing business, kid! I have to entertain Chief Padlow here!“You didn’t let him cop a feel when you came here this morning!“You didn’t let him have a smooch when you came this afternoon!“And now you’re here asking him to work for you? How do you expect him to do anything at this point?“If I were you, I would’ve let Chief Padlow take a good look at my body to make everything easier already!Then, the woman bashfully leaned into Rico Padlow’s arms with a smile.“Am I right, Chief Padlow?”The woman then disdainfully glared at Harper.Rico burst out laughing while he moved his hands around the woman’s body.“That’s right. That’s exactly how it should be! Take your clothes off so I can get a good look at you, kid!“If I’m happy about it, I’ll probably be open to discussing many things!”The woman showed a disdainful expression. She obv
The woman was about to make the call.“Please don’t! It’s just a misunderstanding…”Harper Klein was terrified. She was born in the South Sea. That was why she knew what would happen if she went against those people.She took a step forward before bowing deeply.“Sir York’s from Hong Kong and Las Vegas, Chief Padlow. He came here with good faith. Please, help him.“We’ll reward you nicely after everything’s done.”“Reward my *ss!”Rico Padlow sized up Harper with a disdainful look on his face.“Don’t you know how I work?! I want my reward now!“You want me to wait until everything’s done?!“You can’t even do things properly now! How can I expect you to do anything after this?!”Rico was filled with a burning passion. If he could take the innocent young woman for himself, he would have an enjoyable time soon enough.And since nobody else was there, he would not mind being a little more fearless with his actions.Harvey stepped in front of Harper to block her from Rico’s gaz
“You’re pretending to call Gael Padlow?”The woman was showing a disdainful look when she saw Harvey York using the phone.“Do you know who Gael is? He’s the Padlow family’s young master. His identity in the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance is immense!“Are you calling him?“Who are you trying to fool here?“At least make it more convincing!“Take a look at yourself in the mirror while you’re at it!“You think you have the right to even call Gael?!”Rico Padlow let out a cold chuckle.“You’ve got guts to show off in front of me, kid!“If I tell this to Young Master Padlow, you’re dead for sure!“Judging from how he does things, whoever’s using his name to show off will be forced to grovel as an apology!”Harvey hung up the phone before he looked at Rico.“Don’t worry. I don’t need you to do that for me.“That said, you’ll have to kneel while you finish registering the business.”‘What did he just say?’The woman showed a playful smile.“Are you done pretending?” sh
Gael Padlow quickly stumbled into the room while his entire body was covered in plasters and bandages.A few higher-ups of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau showed horrible expressions while following behind Gael.Rico Padlow frantically stood up and bowed.“Young Master Padlow! Sirs!”The woman and the other workers quickly stepped back before respectfully greeting Gael and the others.Other than Gael, both the director and vice director of Blackburn City’s Industrial and Commercial Bureau were there. Their statuses were extraordinary.The small fries in front of them were no different than dogs on the street.Gael completely ignored the people before them and quickly walked toward Harvey York.“Is there something causing you trouble here, Sir York?” asked Gael with his face leaned in.“Who is it?!“I’ll take him out right now!”Rico and the woman instantly lost color in their faces after seeing Gael’s submissive demeanor in front of Harvey.They did not expect that Har
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
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
