Noemi slowly walked toward Harvey and looked at him with a bossy expression.Naturally, she knew everything that had happened the day before; that included Ellen getting back with Eden.For her daughter, this was the best place to be in.Not only was Noemi here to disrespect Harvey, but she was also here to stand up for Ellen and Eden.“How does it feel, Harvey?”“Now, are you starting to regret not heeding my warnings?”“If you didn’t have ulterior motives in the first place—if you didn’t try to take advantage of my daughter to climb the ranks, maybe you could’ve become her subordinate by now.”“You wouldn’t have to leave the store, and you’d probably have all of the Moreno family’s support.”“It’s a shame your greed got ahead of you. All you think about is climbing ranks!”Noemi’s elegant face leaned toward Harvey as she whispered nastily, “It’s a little too late for regret now.”“The high-end office building and the extravagant store have nothing to do with you now.”“All
“Naive?”Looking at the charming woman in front of him, Harvey smiled faintly. “CEO Moreno, people have always failed to recognize the things outside of their knowledge.”“You’re talking real big right now, but aren’t you scared you’d get completely disrespected again like last time?”“Don’t you understand that the effectiveness of the medicine is the reason they sell?”“The ones the Cobb family are making right now can’t even compare to most of the medicine on the market right now.”“Do you think it’s that hard for me to crush a business like that?”“Maybe the time I’m open for business is when I lead the business to become a living legend!”“Heh, heh, heh! I admire your naivety, Harvey.”Noemi showed a mocking look on her face and crossed her arms, pushing out her delightful cleavage.“You’re quite experienced—you have a few tricks up your sleeve, but that doesn’t mean that you know the business.”“You should really order a few flower baskets at least. It’ll be embarrassi
Harvey completely ignored Noemi and the others, and casually left the place after giving instructions to the workers.This whole event was about Katy, so he decided to go to her temporary place of stay.Julian was the one who arranged the villa located in the suburbs.Not just Katy; Dean, who was still extremely weak, was resting here as well.Many security guards were in charge of the place. Thus, Harvey felt at ease here.After heading into the main hall, Harvey saw Katy happily humming a song while cutting some vegetables in the open kitchen.Harvey narrowed his eyes at the sight; he didn’t think he’d see the bloodthirsty head of the South Sea Gang emanate such a feminine aura.As the sun went down, her elegant and tender figure could be seen clearly; any man wouldn’t hesitate to wrap their arms around her.Harvey let out a sigh to stop his heart from pounding hard, and then knocked on the marble wall.“You’re here?”Katy showed a warm smile upon seeing Harvey.“I heard y
“The people outside say that I’m a patient woman, but it looks like you’re one step above me right now,” Katy said.Harvey smiled, but didn’t say anything. He couldn’t just say that he was used to his life with the Zimmer family for the past three years.“Alright, let’s not talk about Ellen for now.”Harvey revealed a satisfied expression after taking a few more bites out of the curry.“In the first place, we only met because of you .”“Everyone thinks I’m just trying to climb the ranks using her, but you of all people should know the truth.”“I thought I’d make a new friend here, but it looks like it’s the opposite.”Harvey smiled helplessly; he felt a little disappointed.Ellen felt like a totally different person after everything that happened; he didn’t expect any of this to happen.Their friendship turned to dust in a matter of days; it wouldn’t be far off to call them enemies at this point.Eden and Noemi instigated the entire thing, but at the end of the day, their v
Bam!While Katy was still stunned, the windows of the main hall blasted open.A silhouette jumped in soon after.The silhouette then pulled the trigger in Harvey and Katy’s direction.Bang, bang, bang!Six bullets ricocheted out almost at the same time, stopping the two from going anywhere.Harvey immediately pushed Katy and covered her.At the same time, he rolled on the ground and picked up a knife, and threw it straight ahead.The sound of metals clanked, and the silhouette swung the firearm forward to deflect the knife.The knife pierced right into the kitchen hood.The killer froze for a moment, hands trembling profusely.The person’s figure could finally be seen clearly.She was a small person in a school uniform and a face mask; no matter how anyone looked at her, she seemed like an ordinary student.That said, she had quite nimble movements and deadly attacks.Harvey’s calm expression was enough to freeze the killer.She picked the best moment to strike, just for
Harvey cleanly took off the killer’s mask and removed the poison sac in her mouth. He then quickly kicked her firearm away without hesitation.An innocent and pure-looking face could be seen.The killer seemed to be in her twenties; she had a good-looking face, but her gaze expressed her stubbornness.The woman glared furiously at Harvey.After realizing that she had no chance to even kill herself, she could only look at Harvey in anger.“Talk. Who are you? Who sent you?” Harvey asked with a judgmental gaze.The woman didn’t say a single word; she only looked away as if she didn’t mind what Harvey had done to her.Katy walked over, glaring at the woman with a small smile.“If I’m guessing correctly, you must be from the most well-known killer organization from the South Sea—the Royal Palace.”“You came here to kill me, not Harvey.”The woman instinctively glanced at Katy before scoffing disdainfully.“Let me guess again. If I’m correct, the Cobb family must’ve paid a high pr
Katy chuckled when Harvey saw through her completely. “Why don’t you guess why I decided to send her to the police instead of killing her?”“You sent her to the hospital with the cops for two reasons…” Harvey replied.“Number one, you want the Cobb family to know that their plan was foiled. You want them to panic.”“Number two, you want the so-called Royal Palace to go against them.”“No matter how much they were paid, it should be obvious how things would turn out if they found out that they were betrayed.”“Pretty impressive for you to come up with the plan on the spot. Two birds in one stone, as they say.”“That said, this is still a little risky. I’ll get Julian to send a few more experts to keep you safe.”Katy nodded.She turned the situation around against the Cobb family, but nobody knew what kind of tricks they were going to pull out after this.…At the same time, in the Cobb family’s courtyard.Inside the quiet meeting room, Grandma Cobb was sitting in her chair
Grandma Cobb’s hand trembled once again. She screamed, “Are you playing with me, you b*stasrd?”“You want that much deposit for some damn country bumpkin?”“Are you kidding me?!”“According to the rules, we’re not allowed to provide any sort of intel. That said, we’ll explain the current situation to you.”“This person’s true identity is quite extraordinary. He’s pretty skillful as well.”“According to our intel, he was the one who managed to get Katy in such a favorable situation against the Cobb family.”“If he doesn’t die, we can safely assume that your family will collapse without a doubt.”“Anyway, you can decide if you want to pay the money.”The person was about to hang up the phone.For them, the Cobb family was just an ordinary customer after all.“Wait!”Grandma Cobb took a deep breath, an odd look on her face.“I’ll pay!”“But I need to make sure that the formula will be in my hands after this!”“Not a problem.”The person smiled.“We’ll definitely complete t
When Royce saw the change in Xynthia's expression, he became even more pleased. He quickly explained everything that had just happened. Of course, he had changed certain details during his explanation, turning himself into an innocent victim. Meanwhile, Harvey and Xynthia became a despicable couple who did whatever they wanted."How shameless can you get, Royce?!" Xynthia couldn't help but yell when she heard how Royce changed the facts. "My mom did take your money, but I already promised that I'll give you back the money! But not only did you take away my phone, you didn't even let me leave. You're even going to force myself on you. Don't you think that what you're doing is especially shameless?"Royce's expression didn't even change as he said, "Shameless? It's true I have a thing for money and beautiful women, but I have my own rules. I never force anyone. Every woman that became mine did so out of their own volition. Everyone in Country A knows this!"Royce looked at Kyros and
Electric sparks surrounded the head of the war hammer, which exuded a charred stench. It was flying just like the legendary Mjolnir, a powerful aura surrounding it.Tyson's expression changed as he immediately moved and blocked in front of Harvey. He strikes at the hammer with both hands holding its hilt with all his might.Clang!There was a loud clang as the war hammer and sword struck each other. Tyson swayed for a moment, and blood trickled down from the edge of his lips.His eyes became extremely sharp, as if he had an epiphany. He once again stepped forward and pounced ahead, and the sword in his hand slashed downward.Bang!This time, there was a large bang—Tyson's attack struck the man's armor. The man shook, and he was blown away. He slammed into the restaurant's glass—it started to crack immediately, looking like a spiderweb, terrifying everyone who watched.At the same time, Harvey turned and looked at the man in the armor. His face was quite handsome, and the muscles
Harvey ignored the arrogant Royce and immediately took Xynthia's hand, attempting to turn and leave. Though he wanted to floor Royce and grind that scumbag's face against the floor, he decided to end everything here. Considering that Xynthia was still present, he was worried it might scare her.But when Royce saw Harvey taking Xynthia and heading to the exit, he thought Harvey was scared. He scoffed coldly and waved his hand; without wasting another breath, he ordered, "Get him!"The foreign bodyguards didn't even waste any more time and obeyed his command, roaring as they charged toward Harvey. Electric sparks appeared around them as their muscles turned green, and steel claws emerged from their fists. It was obvious now that they weren't normal people, but rather mutants from Country A.Many were stunned when they saw this scene and grew pale, and instinctively stepped backward to avoid them.The mutants hadn't even reached Harvey when Tyson, who had been standing aside quietly
Royce let out a cry as his body shuddered. He held the other side of his face, which had swelled. There was only disbelief on his face; he couldn't help but take a few steps back.He couldn't believe that Harvey dared to give him a second slap! Everyone who saw it was speechless, as if they had seen something horrifying. Many of the scions and influential people quickly withdrew along with the beauties in their arms. None of them wanted to get caught in this.One who dared to slap Royce again and again was either truly talented or had a death wish. But no matter which kind of person he was, there was no way this would end peacefully today.Even someone ordinary, maybe with a bit of influence, would fight to the death against another who slapped him twice."Brother-in-law…" Xynthia looked at Harvey with admiration. She knew Harvey was good, but she didn't expect he would act so rashly for her. After a while, Royce finally managed to recover. He held his face, the muscles on it
The scions and the politically powerful within the restaurant thought they had drunk too much and were hallucinating. The bodyguards behind Royce even slapped themselves a few times, just to make sure they weren't dreaming.It was obvious that they couldn't believe that Harvey had walked into the revolving restaurant on top of the Geraldton Hotel without a care in the world and even slapped the secret owner of the hotel to the floor.That was Royce, the scion of the Yates of Country A! How dare Harvey? How could he do that?"Just who are you?" Royce demanded. Royce finally realized what was happening. He crawled back up as he held his face, stopping his bodyguards that were going to attack. While he was used to being arrogant, he had learned from his experience in Country A. He knew that no matter how prideful he was, someone would always try to use him as a stepping stone.Someone like that… It was either a madman or a scion with a powerful background.No matter how Royce loo
"Do you think your own sister won't abandon you?" Royce said sadistically as he attempted to provoke Xynthia. "My dear Xynthia, that's not 15 dollars—that's 150 million dollars! A lot of people are willing to sell their countries and families for that much. All I'm asking them is to give you up to me…and that's nothing."I've watched so many things like this happen in the past years. If you ask me, you should just give up. I'm someone with limited patience. Once I've lost interest in you, I'll simply throw you out of the stage. And then, you'll know what awaits you after that…" Royce leaned over toward Xynthia and extended his right hand, wanting to raise her chin."No! Don't touch me!" Xynthia yelled with a dark expression. "My sister will definitely send the money! Do you think I don't know what my sister is like?""What deep sisterly love!" Royce said as he clapped. "Fine—seeing how deep your love for your sister is, I'll give you ten minutes. But remember! If your sister isn't
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
