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
Yoana walked out from the crowd and calmly looked at the sight before her.“Possession of illegal firearms is a huge felony. The Dragon Palace will be in charge of this!”She then kicked the leading security guard to the ground.“Where is the Cobb family?!”“Tell them to come out!”The security guard was shivering in pain.“Do you realize what you’re doing?” he exclaimed while covering his face.“Do you know who owns this cruise?”“Do you understand the consequences of doing this?!”Bam!Yoana couldn’t be bothered to talk to someone like him. Instead, she picked up a firearm from the ground before pulling the trigger on the security guard’s thigh.There was a loud gunshot, the security guard was rolling on the ground in immense pain.When he saw Yoana raise her firearm once again, he immediately replied while gritting his teeth, “The main hall! They’re in the main hall celebrating Young Master John’s marriage ceremony!”“You’ll die if you do so much as disturb them there!”
As soon as Harvey and the others walked out, everyone finally got to look at their faces.The guests revealed disdainful expressions when they saw Harvey’s ordinary-looking face.They at first believed that the troublemakers were either insane or truly powerful.‘Doesn’t he know that the Diamond Cruise is under the John family’s name?’‘More importantly, today’s Young Master John and Ms. Moreno’s engagement day!’‘He must have a death wish to do something like this!’Bam!While the guests were all glaring disdainfully at Harvey, several men with firearms stepped inside.They immediately took off their safeties and surrounded the place completely .The wealthy ladies all screamed in fear before stumbling to the back.After all, these people looked just like pirates trying to hijack the cruise.That said, nobody thought that they would be pirates at Victoria Harbor.Grandma Cobb showed a gloomy look on her face before murmuring, “Harvey?”Eden and Valery’s expressions change
“Is that so? I’m so scared,” Harvey replied.“You should be!”Grandma Cobb could tell that Harvey was simply ridiculing her, but she still remained confident.“More importantly, this is Young Master John’s engagement day!”“Even if you’re going to cause such a huge trouble, at least know your own limits!”“Do you even understand what consequences you’ll bear for doing something like this?!”Grandma Cobb pointed at Eden and Valery.“Don’t say I’m not giving you a chance, Harvey.”“I’ll give you one minute! Let go of my grandchildren!”“If not, it’ll be bad when Young Master John gets angry!”“That’s right, Harvey! How dare you?!” Eden exclaimed furiously, despite the fear rushing through his head.“Young Master John will never let you go for this!”“You were the ones who hired people to kill me. If I wasn’t good at fighting, I would’ve been six feet under by now, right?” Harvey replied with a faint smile.“Do you think you can just get away with just a few words?”“You bar
Harvey’s tone was enough to make everyone change their expressions slightly.But before anyone could say a single word, Julian had already stepped out with his men behind him, his face icy.A few men stepped forward to show off their courage, but they were instantly kicked to the ground before they could even utter a single word.A few of them tried fighting back, but firearms were immediately pointed toward their heads. It was a wretched sight.Grandma Cobb changed her expression as she swung her cane forward, trying to cripple Julian.Julian grabbed the cane coldly, and snapped it in half before slapping her squarely in the face.He didn’t care about respecting the elderly at this moment.After all, he knew just how heinous this wicked witch could get.Soon, two elites of the Dragon Palace picked Grandma Cobb up.She kept struggling on the ground, but all she did was get a few more slaps across her face.“You people are insane!”The middle-aged man with a big belly reveale
Naturally, Ellen didn’t think that she’d see Harvey here.The exquisite look on her changed, and she felt a little awkward…However, she quickly took a deep breath before wrapping around Silas’s arm as they walked out.Harvey was a little surprised upon seeing Ellen.‘What a small world…’He didn’t think he’d see so many of his enemies on the cruise.He looked curiously at Eden, who had a gloomy look on his face, not saying a single word.After all, Harvey and Ellen had nothing to do with each other at this point; there was nothing to say that was worthwhile.He then glanced at the man with the Givenchy suit.The man was handsome; he had a strong figure but a feminine temperament. It was clear he was a young master brought up in a wealthy family.The man must’ve been Young Master John, Silas John himself.He wasn’t a direct descendant. Rather, he was just a child adopted by the family’s head house…However, he had the highest status out of everyone here.Silas calmly walke
Blade took a deep breath. He remembered his own duty and stood in front of Clarion, shielding him. Then, he said with a cold expression on his face, "Madam, Mr. Zeon, my apologies. However, as I'm currently the Assistant Hallmaster and Clarion is my superior, it's my duty to protect him. May I ask how he offended the two of you to the point that he pressed the red button?"Blade put on the face of someone who was only doing his job. He was loyal to his duties.Clarion's expression changed. He did not realize that Blade was a Jackson. However, since Blade chose duty over his personal ties, it was enough to calm Clarion down.Whoosh!At the moment when everything was at a standstill, Zeon suddenly stepped forward and appeared right before the crowd. He immediately slapped Blade's face.Slap!He slapped Blade so hard and loud that Blade stumbled backward as he was not on his guard and almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Clarion reacted quickly and helped Blade up. Otherwise, Blade wo
"I'll give you one last chance to answer me. If you refuse, it won't be my fault for not showing you any mercy." Camellia's pretty face became colder as she stared at Clarion before waving her right hand.After what she did, she saw all the security from Platinum Casino stepped forward, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.Clarion smiled. "Looks like not only have you captured him, it doesn't sound like you're going to release him at all. Looks like I mean nothing to you madam!"Camellia sat down back on the sofa as she folded her legs once more. She raised her chin as she looked at Clarion, coldly saying, "You're right. You mean nothing to me. What? Are you going to go mad? Do it, then! Show it to me! I'm curious to see just what our Young Master Clarion Parker can do to make a scene!"Clarion took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Don't blame me for this, then!"After that, Clarion's right hand pulled out a small red button and pressed it.Vroom!As soon as he di
"All your casino shares?" Camellia stroked her chin as she gave Clarion a meaningful smile. "If I remember, they all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the interest you gain annually is also quite substantial. Without that, your worth as the heir of Parkerville will drop significantly."Looks like Hale probably saved your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have paid such a price for a garbage like him," Camellia's eyes were judgmental when she said those words. She stared at Clarion curiously, wanting to see something from his actions and expressions.Unfortunately, Clarion maintained his cool and indifference."Madam, it'll take a long time to talk about the relationship between us. Hence, there's no need for me to explain everything here. All I want to ask is, will you accept this trade?"Camellia once again walked over to Clarion's side and bent closer, whispering in his ears. "Of course I'm willing, since you're offering me so much. Unfortunately, since I don't have Hale
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
