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
Harvey York looked at the sight without giving a direct answer.“Thank you, Director.”The director kept slapping Rico Padlow around before he exclaimed, “Apologize to Sir York this instant!”“I’m sorry, Sir York! I’m really sorry!Cold sweat was covering his entire body while he kept bowing.“I was wrong! I’ll get everything done right now!”“While you’re kneeling,” replied Harvey.“You hear that?! Do that while you’re kneeling!”Gael Padlow could guess what had happened after hearing Harvey’s words.Gael instantly kicked Rico down while he gritted his teeth. He wanted him dead so badly at this moment.Harvey almost crippled the entire Padlow family, and yet Rico was still showing off in front of him regardless.Gael’s rage was not quelled then. Rico’s face was utterly swollen after taking a few more kicks in the face.Rico would not dare to stand, nor did he fight back. He had no other choice but to endure everything.When Rico looked like he was just about to pass out,
Harper Klein knew she was making everything complicated for Harvey York because of her inexperience.“I’m sorry for being this helpless, Sir York,” said Harper shyly.Harvey shook his head without saying anything before he left the building.As soon as he was about to call a cab, he glanced at the store at the corner of the street.Even though the store looked quite large and luxurious, it looked abandoned since the people here were not too keen on spending money.A board was placed in front of the store, saying it was also up for rental.Harvey nodded after taking a few glances at the store.“This place isn’t bad at all. We’ll definitely do great if we make this our flagship store!”Harper could tell that the store was in a strategic spot as well.“No problem! I’ll contact the property owner so we can rent the place!”“No need to rent this out. We’ll just buy it,” replied Harvey.Harper lightly bit her tongue upon realizing how deep of a pocket Harvey had.‘He does seem li
“I gave him a chance, yet he won’t cherish it!“He won’t give me a call! He didn’t even bring me a single gift!“He’s scum! He’s just some playboy!“I’ll never give this man another chance!“Who does he think he is?! All he does is hurt me!”Ellen Moreno lightly bit her lip. At this moment, she felt extremely resentful.The security guards were all trembling in fear when they saw Ellen swaying around, as if she was about to fall at any moment.After all, there were too many people who needed to take responsibility for the situation.“No!” exclaimed the security guards in unison.“You can’t do that, Ellen. What am I supposed to do without you?” said Harvey York quickly after rushing forward.“You didn’t forget, did you? Not only am I your boyfriend, but I’m also your fiance!“You can’t just jump for another man in front of me!”“What?!”The security guards were showing odd expressions after hearing Harvey’s words.They thought Ellen was just a pure and innocent woman who w
“Aaah!”“No!”The security guards screamed in fear.They could already see the image of a beautiful young woman turning into ground meat.Swoosh!Harvey York’s body moved instantaneously!He quickly stomped on the ground before he launched himself forward like an arrow!An afterimage could almost be seen. It looked like a special effect that could only be seen in movies!Right when Ellen Moreno was about to close her eyes and accept her fate, a firm grip immediately held her still, keeping her on the ground.Everything happened so fast. The security guards’ jaws immediately dropped. They could not even utter a single word because of all the shock they had to take in.Ellen instantly trembled after experiencing the life-and-death situation. She was wide awake at that point.She looked behind her with a horrified expression before turning back toward Harvey.“Thank you, Harvey!”She was not stupid. She knew she would be dead meat if not for Harvey’s help.Harvey slowly lift
In Harvey York’s mind, he wanted to buy off the store at market price to prevent any other trouble from brewing.But Ellen Moreno kept saying that her things were Harvey’s to own and that she wanted to repay him for saving her life.Along with the fact that she was Katy Cobb’s friend and they were going against the Cobb family, it was only natural for her to take action.This was when Harvey discovered that Eden Cobb was actually Ellen’s ex.While Harvey was surprised by the small world he was living in, he sat back while everything was taking its course.The basic outline of the store was quickly built. As long as the production of the medicine could keep up, the store would be up and running in no time.The Cobb family’s business was on the other side of the street. From the looks of it, it seemed like the store was about to celebrate its anniversary.If the renovation of Ellen’s store were quick enough, Katy’s business would be able to catch up to that.Word spread as soon a
