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
“Impressive, kid!“I never expected anyone would have the courage to cause trouble here!“Come! Get every single security guard here! Bring my personal bodyguards too!“Another thing! Tell Ms. Patel to host the ceremony soon!“Make sure she doesn’t get affected because of some ignorant man!”Silas John took out a long and thin cigar and took a quick puff while showing a cold expression.After all, people who were not from the top ten families or the five hidden families…Did not deserve his attention to learn about their background or grudges…He knew that he would be able to crush every single person like this with ease!After all, judging from the John family’s authority as one of the top ten families, it was only natural for him to be this dominant.If it were not for the engagement ceremony, he would have told his subordinates to gun everyone down at this point.“Tell everyone to gather here! Bring the two experts down here too!”A young man with short hair nodded befor
Harvey York glanced at Ellen Moreno with a smile.“So what if I’m showing off here?”He was obviously challenging Ellen at this moment.The people behind Silas John changed their expressions instantly. They did not expect someone would dare to act this high and mighty.‘He must have a death wish or something!’Silas John’s subordinates were ready to teach Harvey a lesson before Ellen raised her hand to stop them.Then, she smiled at Silas and said, “Young Master John, his name is Harvey York.“He was a friend of mine.“He used to help us before this but crossed us after.“That said, my mother and I would always repay revenge with kindness!“Let me handle this for my sake, alright?“Only then will I finally be able to repay the favor.”Silas started showing a playful expression after hearing Ellen’s words.He squinted at Harvey with a curious look on his face.“Are you sure that’s your friend?”“That’s right. You’ll let him go when he kneels before you with the people fre
“I’m telling you one last time. Nobody can stop me from taking these people away.“I say so.“Even God can’t save them.”Ellen Moreno looked bitter.“What happened to you, Harvey York?“Can’t you just listen to me just this once?!“I’m doing this for your sake! Even if you’ve never seen the John family’s authority, you’ve at least seen it!“Power like this is incomprehensible to you! You can’t win!“Wake up!”Ellen stomped her way toward Harvey with her high heels.In her mind, she was transforming into a butterfly.She believed that she had the right to look down on Harvey at this point.She squinted at Harvey before she shuddered, as if she had realized something.“I get it now!” she exclaimed.“I know why you’ve been acting this recklessly!“You knew that I was engaged. You knew that I had found my soulmate! That was why you’ve been so uneasy!“I know that I’m still in your heart!“You were going against me before because you want me to give in to your authority!“
‘How is this even possible?!’Everyone went dead silent.Their jaws instantly dropped!Harvey York’s actions were completely beyond everyone’s expectations. Everyone was filled with disbelief when they looked at the sight before them.Nobody thought that Harvey would be this arrogant, slapping Silas John aside.Silas was a young master of the John family, after all!He was just an adopted son of the head house, but some blood of the John family was still running through his veins!Even if he could not become the next successor, he was still Eldest Young Master John’s trusted subordinate!His status, identity, and power were far beyond anyone’s imagination!Countless rich and powerful people would usually pamper people like Silas!He was clearly superior!Other than the top-rated young masters and princes, who would dare disrespect someone like Silas?That said, the prominent figure was slapped aside on his very own cruise…Nobody could accept that.Grandma Cobb and the ot
Ellen Moreno was angry. Things were about to get really ugly.She felt that she had already been nice enough to Harvey York…She poured her heart out just to get Harvey a chance to survive. She even gave him an opportunity to fix his own mistake…And then what happened?Not only did he not cherish it, he even slapped Silas John himself.‘He’s just looking for his death at this point!’‘Who gave him the right?!’‘Who gave him the courage?!’‘Impressive! Impressive!”Silas was a seasoned man. He returned to his senses before coldly glaring at Harvey while suppressing his murderous intent. At this moment, he did not burst out in anger at all.“I’ve seen a lot of insane people back in the Golden Sands…“But even if they’re from the five hidden families or the top ten families…“They wouldn’t dare act this cocky before me!“Not only did you lose your only chance, but you also managed to get me really angry!Silas rubbed his slightly swollen face.“You’ll pay for your arroganc
“Heh! Young men these days are completely fearless!“Doesn’t he know how to show respect just because he’s a little capable?”At this moment, a person in a robe showed up on the second floor.She crossed her arms, revealing her majestic cleavage as she looked down at Harvey York.Her attire seemed quite antique, as if she was born from another timeline.Her tanned skin and calluses on her hands were enough to prove that she was an expert martial artist.The expert tapped on the railing before landing in front of Harvey with an elegant flip. After that, a hint of pride could be clearly seen on the expert’s face.After looking at the sword hanging on her waist, people started thinking that she was some sort of heroine seen in movies.The short-haired man was ecstatic when he saw the woman’s face.“Ms. Lowe! Quick! Kill them!“These b*stards are disrespecting Young Master John!”Trey Bierstadt took a step forward and glanced at the woman.“Step aside!” he coldly exclaimed.“D
"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
After hearing what Harvey had to say, everyone exchanged glances. Lune and Sol were very experienced, and they quickly zoomed into the video recording and started to check the details. After carefully scanning it, everyone noticed Neve's action was extremely mechanical, and her eyes were completely blank. Even her actions activating the Rainstorm Needles were extremely puppetlike.When Neve saw this, she was shocked. "How can I fall under someone else's control like this? I'm trained in Servitas' school of martial arts, and it demands extremely high mental mastery. How can I fall into someone's control so easily? Not to mention that one doesn't have to use the Six-Paths Fragrance to control me, right? But most importantly… I've never fallen for someone's mind control until Harvey appeared… Could it be that it's you who are controlling me?" Neve immediately turned to look at Harvey, looking vigilant.Harvey rolled his eyes. "What's the point of me doing that?""So you can get my gran
"Stop! Everyone, stop!" When Lune and Sol saw what was happening, they were stunned and stopped right before Harvey. They knew Geoffrey's condition, so they were very sure that it was Geoffrey's inner demon going wild just now."Drop all your Rainstorm Needles right now! We can decide everything once Mr. Geoffrey is awake!" Lune ordered the men and quickly checked the mobile that was already set up nearby, wanting to see what was happening."Are you stupid, Lune? Didn't you see that my grandpa is almost dead because of him? Sol, stop them right now! Do it! Kill Harvey! Kill whoever dares to stop you!" Neve screamed, on the verge of a breakdown.The dozens of security guards exchanged glances and hesitated and did not dare move when they saw how chaotic it was in the study."We'll see who's behind this right now!" Lune had already grabbed the phone, and he immediately projected what the phone had recorded onto the wide-screen TV in the study.Soon, they all saw how Neve appeared at
Harvey instinctively kicked Geoffrey's chair when he narrowed his eyes, looking at what was happening. There was a bang, and the chair fell to the ground. The silver needles from the Rainstorm Needles flew past where the two of them were just moments ago, striking the big desk.Instantly, a big hole appeared on the desk, and corrosive liquid flowed out. It was terrifying. However, Neve blankly raised her right hand. Just as Harvey was about to make his move, Geoffrey appeared right before Neve and grabbed her right hand tightly, his expression brutal."How dare you… I have raised you for twenty years! And now, you want to kill me? Time to die!" As Geoffrey said that, he moved Neve's arm and aimed the Rainstorm Needles in her sleeve right on her own forehead.Harvey blinked, and he instantly knew what was happening.Because of Neve's assault, the inner demon within Geoffrey clawed its way out. Geoffrey had already lost control. Meanwhile, Neve started to regain some clarity from the
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
