“They’re in Hong Kong right now?”Harvey froze.“Don’t they know that in Hong Kong and Las Vegas, we can easily crush them with our strength?”Julian replied with a stern tone, “They’re not that stupid, Sir York.”“They paid a huge amount of money to get on the cruise and registered their names from abroad as well. The cruise is even filled with armed mercenaries from Dark Island!”“Other than that, there’s also hundreds of prominent figures visiting America on the cruise!”“There’s no easy way to get on it.”“That’s why it’s going to be a little difficult to take down Grandma Cobb and the others.”“The John family?”Harvey frowned.“One of the top ten families?”“That’s them,” Julian replied.“The Oceanic Corporation is the John family’s best money tree. They have businesses under the company’s name just so it’d flourish.”“I heard that even the Patel family is completely inferior in the shipping business compared to them.”“That’s why, judging from this alone, it’s enou
After the phone got hung up, Grandma Cobb could sense that she was in danger.If he wasn’t dead, she knew he would surely chase her to the ends of the earth.She was glad she had planned everything out beforehand.She had already made arrangements for the worst-case scenario. The Diamond Cruise was about to set sail…She’d be able to do anything after getting to America.‘Even if he’s that powerful, there’s no way he’d chase me all the way there!’“Why are we running, Grandma Cobb? Don’t we look guilty just by doing this?”“Besides, without any solid proof, Harvey can’t just kill us in Blackburn City even if everything fails!” Valery exclaimed with a frown.“Blackburn City belongs to the South Sea! A man from Country H wouldn’t dare be so reckless!”Valery didn’t want to doubt Grandma Cobb’s speculation…However, the Cobb family’s property belonged only to the second house.Because of the recent series of events, Grandma Cobb was scared witless.The old woman spent the rema
Valery and Eden looked at each other after hearing Grandma Cobb’s words. They thought that she was being a little too intense…Grandma Cobb sighed. “Besides, there’ll always be time as long as we’re alive!”“Prosperity won’t last forever!”“Katy’s in her prime right now because of that b*stard Harvey and so many others!”“We can’t win against her at this moment!”“But as long as we stay alive in America and cling onto those tycoons, we’ll always have another chance to rise.”“Americans have been trying to establish a bridgehead in the South Sea to go against Country H after all!”“If we show our loyalty to them, they’ll surely support our cause!”“When that happens, it wouldn’t be hard for us to make a strong comeback!”After hearing Grandma Cobb’s plans for the future, Eden and Valery all nodded in unison, as if they were fully convinced.On one hand, they had no reason to risk their lives just yet.On the other hand, they’d have another opportunity to rise again as long
“Even after you’ve made all these arrangements, it’ll be easy for Harvey to track us down when he’s giving out so much money!”“Is he going to chase us down, Grandma Cobb?”Eden was worried sick.“We should’ve gotten on a plane to America instead!”“Even if Harvey has an army, he wouldn’t be able to stop the plane from taking off!”“Who does he think he is? Superman?!”“You idiot!”Grandma had a bitter look on her face, as if she was giving Eden a lesson.“That’ll be the easiest way for us to leave tracks behind us! Harvey can track down exactly where we land if we do!”“It’s different if we get on the cruise. We’ll go past dozens of cities abroad just to get to America!”“No matter how powerful he is, there’s no way for him to know where we get off next.”“Besides, we haven’t even decided where to get off in the first place!”“He’d be completely clueless if we decided to get off on our first stop!”Eden and Valery nodded in unison after hearing Grandma Cobb’s explanation.
“Right. I heard about this before.”“The third young master of the family, Silas John, was told to be in charge of the cruise as a test.”“Other than that, one of the three wealthy ladies from the Patel family, Rylee Patel, is here!”“Simply put, despite the small size of the cruise, the power of the people behind it is insane!”“No matter how impressive Harvey actually is, he wouldn’t dare go against the John family and the Patel family here.”Grandma Cobb showed a prideful look, as if she had calculated everything.Eden and Valery nodded in unison after hearing her casual tone.Naturally, no matter how ill-informed they were, they knew exactly what the top ten families and the five hidden families meant.The so-called three great families of the South Sea were completely inferior compared to that. This was why the Cobb family was easily crushed. Eden let out a long sigh, desperately trying to cast his rage and frustration aside.He believed that if he could get to America,
At the same time, in another presidential suite, a beautiful woman in a dress was lying on a long chair.Her figure was extremely slender; age was only able to make her more attractive than she already was.Her aura of a mature lady was enough to infatuate all the men around her.Even the experienced bosses and tycoons couldn’t help but be attracted by her alluring charm.A faint shine of the sunset landed on her pale long legs, which looked like a pair of ivories with a pleasing fragrance.She shook the glass of red wine in her hand while whispering to Ellen, who was wearing a gown as white as snow.“I didn’t think that my daughter would be able to find her other half this quickly.”“He’s a young master of one of Country H’s top ten families as well!”“You’re destined to prosper, Ellen!”The beautiful mature woman was none other than Noemi herself.She became a lot more charming compared to the time when she was in Blackburn City.“Speaking of, Young Master John really is b
“I want that b*stard to regret disrespecting me! I want him to regret not being my lackey!”“I’ll pay him back tenfold!”“He won’t even get the right to be my lackey when I’m done with him!”Naturally, everything that happened in Blackburn City didn’t make Ellen feel any regret or sorrow…Rather, her heart had been completely blinded since then.She didn’t let it all go, despite meeting his Prince Charming.Rage and vengeance had consumed her completely.“You’ve been looking down on me this whole time, Harvey! You’ll pay for that!”“I want you to see me flourish! I want you to see me bask in my glory!”“Just you wait!”“You’ll regret it soon enough!”Ellen raised her head, a prideful look on her face.Noemi smiled faintly. “You can’t be reckless from now on, Ellen. You need to be clever about this!”“After the ceremony, we’ll basically be a part of the John family!”“With their name, Harvey will have to respect us wherever we go in Country H!”Noemi stood up, still sha
“Enough about this, Mother!”Noemi nodded.Her daughter was a prominent figure; it’d be embarrassing for them to talk about Eden again.Even if they were completely shameless, the John family wouldn’t endure this humiliation.“I’ll be leaving, Mother. It’s almost time to look for Young Master John now. Don’t be late!”Ellen changed the subject before standing up.A group of people immediately swarmed her as soon as they saw her walk out of the room.She raised her head like a prideful peacock before heading toward Silas’s room.“Not bad! Not bad at all!”Noemi was pleased upon seeing the sight; even though she would probably turn into a plaything for the young masters, she didn’t mind at all.Compared to the things she could earn just by doing this, what did it matter if she gave away her body?She wasn’t a pure and innocent woman anymore; she couldn’t care less about something like this!After showing a sluggish smile, Noemi was ready to wear her black Balenciaga stockings
