Noemi Moreno glanced at her daughter after sensing her deathly stare.“He may look all calm, Ellen…” she explained after letting out a light chuckle.“But he must be sweating bullets right now.“I bet the situation’s got him dumbfounded.“A small fry like him can only pretend at this point!”Eden Cobb nodded with a stern expression.“That’s right! These pretenders can do nothing but show off!”Ellen Moreno felt slightly relieved after hearing those words.That said, she still furiously glared at Harvey York, quietly hoping for him to roll around on the ground in sorrow.At this very moment, a middle-aged man with a red and chubby face strutted forward with a dozen people surrounding him.“Grandma Cobb! CEO Moreno! Hello!“Congratulations on your anniversary’s big hit!”The middle-aged man lightly nodded in front of Grandma Cobb as a greeting, as if his arrival was more than enough to pay respect to the Cobb family.“Vice Leader Olford is a busy man! He came all the way bac
“Oh? He isn’t here for the Cobb family?”Allen Olford squinted slightly, with a hint of rage showing in his eyes.Noemi Moreno smiled before whispering into Allen’s ear.Allen quickly understood the situation.Then, he looked at Harvey York’s side profile.Harvey’s face seemed quite familiar, but it did not ring a bell since he was still too far away.Allen showed a disdainful look on his face when he coldly chuckled.“How dare a country bumpkin from Country H challenge the Cobb family on their own turf?”Allen was getting irritated after realizing that Harvey and the others completely ignored him without showing some respect.Grandma Cobb coughed with a gloomy look before she said, “Vice Leader Olford! Our family has been quite unfortunate!“Not only did an ungrateful daughter of the family decide to cast us aside, she even had a kept man going against us!“I’m sorry you had to see this!“He even stole the Cobb family’s medicine formula and made a counterfeit out of it! Th
Harvey York did not mind at all. He calmly sipped his tea while looking at Noemi Moreno and the others.“You’ve got a lot of connections, CEO Moreno. It’s truly terrifying.“Ordinary people would’ve been kneeling before you by now, wouldn’t they?“That said, are you sure you’re going to challenge me with that idiot?”Noemi smiled calmly.“This isn’t a challenge, Harvey. This is justice.”Allen Olford realized something after hearing that name…But he did not think much about it when he saw the beauty before him.“What the f*ck did you just say, you b*stard?” said Allen with a gloomy tone after coldly chuckling.“Did you just call me an idiot?“Do you know who I am? Do you understand just how powerful I am?“I’ll turn your entire damn store into rubble with a single word!“Kneel and apologize right now!“If not, you won’t even get the chance to apologize later!”The dozen people behind Allen stepped up while cracking their necks after hearing his threats.They were showin
Grandma Cobb and the others were completely stunned!It would be hard for the Cobb family to stay unpopular after this!“The first-in-command of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is here!”“Trey Bierstadt himself is here!”“Rhett and Gael Padlow are here!”“Chase Smith is here!”“Even the representative of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, Gordon Moreno, is here!”Announcements were getting louder and louder when the well-known figures arrived one after another.The guests’ jaws dropped instantly. They could not even utter a single word.After all, those people represented immense authority within the entire city.Any single one of them would cause an uproar just by showing up.Besides, it was shocking for all of them to arrive together in a small place like this!Someone like Noemi Moreno and Allen Olford would never be able to compare to the likes of them!Even Allen immediately straightened his back with a respectful look on his face after hearing the names of the
“Hahaha!”Allen Olford burst out laughing after seeing everyone’s shock on their faces.Soon, he respectfully walked toward Chase Smith and the others.“You’re here, Director!”“Leader! Fancy seeing you here!”“Representative Moreno! What an esteemed guest! We’ll have to get drunk tonight!”Allen was also quite surprised.It was still normal for the first-in-command of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to show up, but Gordon Moreno and Chase were both highly prominent figures!With their identities, they would never show up at such an event.That said, Allen had no time to think about this at all. Noemi’s praise was enough for him to be in a trance.He boldly stepped forward to show off his acquaintance with those people.The first-in-command showed an odd expression after seeing Allen. Gordon coldly scoffed while Trey showed a faint smile…Chase, on the other hand, stepped out before swinging his palm forward.Slap!A loud slap was heard!Allen stumbled around, almos
“How is this even possible?“Why did this happen?”Ellen Moreno’s entire body was shaking.She was still looking up to Allen Olford just a minute ago, hoping that Eden Cobb would become a man like that…But a minute later, Allen was lying on the ground while getting thrown around like a punching bag.Ellen could not accept that fact.Even Eden shivered when his face had completely lost color. He could feel something in his heart collapsing at this very moment.“Alright, Leader Smith. It’s bad to spill blood on the opening day.”Right as Allen’s face was as swollen as a pig, a calm voice could be heard when he would not even dare to speak himself.It did not matter if Allen died or not…But a person’s death would surely affect Harvey’s business.Ellen and the others instinctively turned around before showing playful smiles when they saw that Harvey was the one who spoke up.“Who do you think you are? You’re nothing in front of Leader Smith, you…”Eden went dead silent befor
Allen Olford quickly came to his senses and crawled toward Harvey York before he started groveling right in front of him.“I’m sorry, Governor York! I was just ignorant! I didn’t know anything!“Please be the bigger person and let me go! Just pretend that I was clowning around!Then, Allen kept slapping himself around nonstop.“Please! Give me a chance!”All of his trusted subordinates slammed their knees to the ground in fear after seeing the sight.They all also have heard of Harvey’s great achievements.Soon, a whole group of people was kneeling with their backs straight in front of Harvey’s store.Noemi Moreno and the others were completely stunned when their eyes were frantically twitching.They could not understand why Allen was just about to teach Harvey a lesson a minute ago…And then he was acting like a scared cat right after that.‘Are you kidding me?!’‘Isn’t Harvey just a country bumpkin?!’‘Does he have another identity?!’‘How did he manage to get Allen to
Grandma Cobb looked as if she had been dead for three whole days.Then, Gordon Moreno stepped up while laughing heartily.“Congratulations on your opening, Harvey York!“Here’s a gift on behalf of the South Sea Marital Arts Alliance! I hope you like it!”Gordon then waved his hand before a few disciples of the organization brought over a plaque.The plaque had four words written on it.“Cobb family’s Silver Elixir!”Other than that, the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance’s signature was also left under the plaque.Without any promises or orders…It was clear that the organization was planning to buy all of its ointments from Harvey!More importantly, with the plaque here, nobody would dare go against Harvey, even if the business were to expand in the city.At this point, the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance was clearly on his side!The benefits were endless!“What?!”Noemi Moreno and the others understood that fact.When they saw the sight, they could not help but stumble on
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
