“I’m sorry, Sir York!” apologized Rylee Patel while biting her lip.“I still can’t hear you. What did you say?” asked Harvey York with a curious look.“I’m really sorry, Sir York!” exclaimed Rylee.“If an apology’s enough, then what’s the point of cops in the first place?Slap!The hope in Rylee’s heart finally shattered into pieces.Her pride was utterly crushed when she slammed her knees before Harvey.“I was wrong, Sir York! This was all my fault!“I was being ignorant!“I was narrow-minded!“Please! Just pretend this never happened!“Please spare me!”Rylee also did not hesitate to show her sincerity…She kept slapping her own face until it was completely swollen.Her righteous and dominant attitude completely dissipated.Her heart was only filled with resentment and helplessness…She knew that she had no other choice.Not only would she lose her glory and riches…Without Harvey’s forgiveness, her entire family would be instantly killed off.Not just Queenie York
Silas John knew that the people around him had little to no chance of taking Harvey York down, but he did not expect Rylee Patel would kneel so quickly after showing up.He did not know what to say at this moment.He could not understand. He felt anguished.He was going insane. He wanted to scream…But Rylee completely ignored him while she tilted her head down without uttering a word.Silas stepped forward, preparing to pull Rylee up before someone tapped his shoulder.He froze instantly. A hint of murderous intent surrounded his body. He was barely able to control his bladders this time.Harvey calmly glanced at the crowd.“Who else is unhappy about this?“Who else wants to stand up for Grandma Cobb?“Step up.Nobody dared to stand out this time.Harvey completely outnumbered them.He outmatched Kaylee Lowe in terms of fighting skills.His authority was enough for Rylee to kneel.Silas managed to get a leg up because of his birthright, but so what?There was no point
“Harvey York!”Half an hour later, Silas John’s entire face and hand were covered in bandages when he kicked his marble tea set to the ground.He was from one of the top ten families. His whole life until now had been smooth sailing. It would be extremely easy for him to crush whoever he wanted…But at this moment, not only was his reputation completely ruined, but his entire face and hand were also destroyed.At this time, Silas’ bloodshot eyes were pronounced.His furious screams echoed throughout the whole room.It was as if he would not stop until Harvey was turned into mush.His trusted subordinates were trembling in their boots while they stood in the corner.They wanted to comfort Silas, but no one dared to utter a single word.Standing outside the room, Ellen Moreno would not dare knock on the door to tend to her darling before quietly leaving.She knew full well that all of Silas’ anger would be directed at her if she even got in his line of sight.At this point, sh
Silas John’s trusted subordinates nodded in unison after hearing Kaylee Lowe’s words.Silas showed a cold expression when he asked, “Who is that man?”Kaylee brought out a laptop.“His name is Harvey York. He’s a live-in son-in-law,” replied Kaylee quietly.“His wife is the new head of the ninth house of the Jean family, Mandy Zimmer herself…“But according to a reliable source, they already filed their divorce papers…”Before Kaylee even revealed Harvey’s other identities, Silas instantly cut her off.“Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?!” Silas exclaimed coldly.“You’re telling me that I got taken advantage of by some filth?!“He got Queenie York and Elias Patel on his side…“He got Rylee Patel to kneel before him as well.“Do you think someone like that can be a damn live-in son-in-law?!”Silas was usually gentle and refined. He would usually show his attitude of a top-rated young master, especially to his personal bodyguard from a sacred martial arts training groun
Silas John calmed down quite a bit after hearing Kaylee Lowe’s words.He was thoroughly embarrassed by a crazed dog earlier.He also suffered quite a bit because of this…But at the end of the day, his identity was still immense despite him being an adopted child of the family.Judging from his status, it did seem quite foolish to go against some ordinary insane person.It was good that he decided to stop while he still could…If not, he would have been dead, along with the person he went up against.Silas immediately seemed a lot calmer after realizing that fact.He stood up and walked toward the massive window in front of him before looking at the horizon.“I don’t care if this b*stard’s jealous or mad…“But I want him dead for going against me and disrespecting me like this!“How am I supposed to see the young master if he’s still alive?!”Kaylee showed a faint smile.“Don’t worry, Young Master John!“I already contacted my master!“He treats me like his own daughter.
“Not bad! Not bad at all!“I must admit, that kept man is quite impressive at his job…“Even I’m pretty interested in tasting this woman…”]“I’ll get you the best doctors the Golden Sands has to offer! I’ll get a few experts to help you recover the best they can!“And if you can’t, I’ll give you fifteen million dollars so you can enjoy the rest of your life!“In any case, I wouldn’t let people who serve me suffer in vain!“Another thing! I’d want to be with Mandy Zimmer soon!“After all, all that humiliated I endured because of Harvey York would be all for naught!”Silas John licked his parched lip with an excited look.Kaylee Lowe showed a faint smile.“I understand. I’ll get to it immediately.“At the end of the day, the Jean family wouldn’t send her all the way to the Golden Sands to deal with all that trouble if they really looked up to her.“We have all the time in the world to send her straight to your bed.“Your anger will be quenched soon enough.”Silas burst out
“No matter the case, I’m actually here to treat you to a meal.“After all, I’ve never had a friendly chat with you before this.“Dining while having some small talk is my way of showing respect! You can’t just reject me like this!Harvey York smiled brightly.“Besides, even the worse criminals get a last meal before they get executed anyway.“Are you sure you don’t want to eat?“This is some good food! I even got us a bottle of Riesling from eighty-two!”Then, Harvey poured himself a glass of wine. The amber-colored alcohol has a sweet aftertaste. After all, it was prime quality wine.Grandma Cobb showed a cold look after seeing Harvey pretending, as if he was a top-rated young master.“Just kill me if you want to! What’s the point of you acting this way?!“You damn b*stard!“I’m not afraid to tell you at this point!“I gave three hundred million dollars to the Seven Absolutes. I even promised them half of the Cobb family’s assets if they kill off Dean and you!“It’s a sha
“It’s said that even the most powerful Western countries have been hearing about this since ancient times.“A legend that existed since then…“Everlasting life.“Basic education and economics were rapidly expanding. The Western world held almost ninety percent of the world’s resources.“Their ruler naturally wished for long life so that he would reign forever and become a living God!“That was why the chaos of the Whip Dynasty occurred for a hundred years.“That said, the Western world never managed to get their hands on longevity.“Rather, because of their oppression, Country H finally rose and claimed glory after five thousand years.“The Western world was slaughtered by their own greed.“A hundred years later, the Euro-American battle happened. The battle seemed different from the Whip Dynasty, but it happened for the same reason.“It was a shame. The five strongest countries failed even harder.“The Chief Instructor crushed them single-handedly and made Country H stand o
"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
