Mandy had been dealing with a lot of trouble since she came to Golden Sands.She had to deal with the ninth branch’s stocks and their financial difficulties.But because of the Jean family’s reputation, she had been doing pretty well in the city.The people she usually met would seem extremely polite while pulling the strings behind the back.No matter how fierce the battle would be in the dark, everyone would still respect each other on the surface.That said, she never thought that Idris would cross this line without hesitation. He was simply being overbearing at this point.“Shame?”Idris flashed her a pompous smile, and his eyes were a disdainful glare.“For the Evergreen Capital Group, people who disobey us die!”Idris’s lips hooked into a cold smile, and he held Mandy's chin.In recent years, with the Evergreen Capital Group and the Jackson family’s support, Idris had been doing whatever he pleased in the city.Even those from the Patel family and the John family would
Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Idris’s face. The latter rolled on the ground, until the screams completely stopped.His body only stopped rolling when he slammed into a few other people a few feet back.Idris’s right hand was completely twisted. It was so painful that he couldn’t even let out a shriek. Blood was constantly flowing out of the corner of his mouth as well.Harvey was just too fast.Safe to say, nobody could even react to his movements.There were a lot of eyes on Harvey, but none of them could tell what exactly happened.Jovie and Vienna covered their mouths, desperately holding in their screams of fear.They were terrified that Harvey would settle scores with them as well.Harvey wiped his finger with some tissues before walking toward Idris, who had been shivering to no end.Then, he stepped on Idris’s leg with a faint smile.“Apologize properly, or I’ll break your leg right now.”“Aaagh!”“You b*stard! You damn b*stard!”“You dare touch me
The entire place seemed a little colder, as if the temperature had dropped.Everyone’s mouths were sealed shut and they dared not utter a single word.“Where did you even come from, you b*stard?”“How are you not scared of the consequences of being so reckless?!”“Even if I decide to let you go…”“The Newgate Chamber of Commerce won’t do the same!”“Them?”Harvey smiled faintly. “Interesting. What do you mean by that?”“You’re just a country bumpkin!”“This entire place is theirs! You don’t know that, yet you’re here causing all this trouble?!”“The place’s owner, Ms. Lee, is CEO Ruiz’s favorite!”“If you disrespect her, you disrespect CEO Ruiz!”“Every single one of you will die horribly!”Idris gritted his teeth as he warned Harvey and the others.After hearing the Newgate Chamber of Commerce, the people around looked at each other.The Evergreen Capital Group was quite impressive, but it was only because of their money.The Newgate Chamber of Commerce, however, was
Mandy, however, didn’t say a word.Since Harvey stood up for her, she would naturally stand by his side.As for what would happen afterwards, she was already prepared to take everything head-on with Harvey!Clop, clop, clop!Sounds of high heels could be heard from the entrance.Many bodyguards were seen surrounding an extremely beautiful woman in exquisite makeup.An alluring aura could be felt on the woman. Before she even stepped inside the box, the scent of her faint fragrance had already spread throughout the entire box.“Oh my! Isn’t this Young Master Saban?”“What’s going on here?”“Which b*stard did this to you?”The woman was the person in charge of the place, Ms. Lee.She chuckled briefly before glancing around with a piercing gaze.“Which one of you did this to Young Master Saban?! I’ll need you to stand out right now!”She then shifted her gaze toward Harvey, as if she already knew the answer.Naturally, she was waiting for Harvey to admit to his fault.Harve
“Stop showing off in front of me, brat!”Idris gritted his teeth as he twitched on the ground, his face a horrible expression.“You’re finished!”“You went against me, Ms. Lee, and the Newgate Chamber of Commerce!”“I’ll make your life a living hell!”“You only have one chance to live, after all!”Jovie, Vienna, and the others were filled with glee as they waited patiently for Harvey to kneel.Clack!Meanwhile, Harvey didn’t waste any second to dial a number on his phone. Then, he threw it casually to Ms. Lee.“Since Kellan likes you, I’ll give you a minute to figure everything out.”“You can decide if you’ll kneel or fight me to the death after that.”Ms. Lee grabbed Harvey’s phone, grinning haughtily.“Keep pretending!”“Do you honestly think there’s a point to this now?”Harvey sat casually on a chair and poured himself a cup of tea, unfazed by her scorn.“You have fifty seconds.”At that, Ms. Lee and Idris froze.‘Who is this guy?’‘His tone and attitude are prett
Ms. Lee didn’t even dare look back.She was kneeling with her back completely straight, cold sweat dripping down without pause.“What happened?”Jovie and Vienna’s eyes were wide open, and their faces were twitching. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.‘Why would Ms. Lee kneel like that?’‘She’s kneeling in front of the filth, of all people…’Mandy, Thomas, and the others were surprised as well. They didn’t know what exactly happened.‘She kneeled after acting all high and mighty before?’Bam!The door was kicked open once again.After getting repeatedly kicked open, the poor door finally fell to the ground with a loud thud.Soon after, a group of fierce men in suits swarmed the entire box.Their faces were fierce and domineering as they kicked Idris’s bodyguards down without mercy.It was utterly shocking!Those who had gathered at the entrance to watch instinctively shivered.The workers and security guards didn’t even dare let out a single breath.A man whos
“You want me to leave?”Harvey sipped his tea with a faint smile.“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, CEO Ruiz…”“I can’t just leave right now.”“This man—Idris Saban.”“Not only did he try to take advantage of my wife, he also started beating people up here.”“More importantly, he said that the Newgate Chamber has his back, and that he’d get people from the organization to deal with me.”“Right now, I can’t leave even if I want to.”“Even if you say I can leave, what will happen to my wife?”“I can’t just let Young Master Saban take advantage of her now, can I?”“I have duty calls.”Harvey casually narrated the entire situation. Idris felt a cold shiver run down his spine.“My organization has his back?” Kellan repeated slowly.Then, he turned to glare coldly at Idris; his eyes were filled with murderous intent.“Who are you?”“I-I’m Idris Saban, CEO Ruiz…” Idris replied in a trembling voice.“I don’t know you.”Kellan cut Idris off without hesitation.“My organ
Idris’s entire body shivered in disbelief after hearing Kellan’s words.He didn’t think that even his own father, the chairman of the Evergreen Capital Group, meant nothing to Kellan.It was only to be expected, after all; they were running usury businesses to take advantage of ordinary people.They had no choice but to kneel in front of people like Kellan.If it wasn’t for the Jackson family supporting them, they would’ve been trampled on quite a lot of times already.Completely ignoring Idris, Kellan glanced coldly around him once again. His face was stormy.“Can useless filth like you even handle my respect?”Jovie and the rest instantly lowered their heads; they wanted to stick their heads in a hole so badly at that moment.Looking Kellan in the eye alone was cause for great fear.At this moment, Idris finally understood what it meant to despair.Kellan had no intention to stop, as he wanted to continue pleasing Harvey.“Sir York is a kind man. He doesn’t like to take ad
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
Harvey stood behind Clarion as he looked at all these men and women in their luxurious outfits. Other than the heirs of the large families from Grand City, Harvey could not really tell how powerful they were. Harvey even noticed quite a few mutant elites from Country A. All of them gathered together and all the topics they discussed about were extremely sophisticated, making them feel that they were the most important individuals in this world.Other than these people, she saw a woman wearing purple traditional garb in the middle of the group. She could not tell the woman's age, but her figure was slender and curvaceous. She carried an esteemed imposition. Or perhaps, it was better to describe her imposition as queen-like.She held an exquisite hookah in her hand that was made from gold. She would sometimes take a puff before blowing out a stream of smoke, as if she were some kind of empress.Quite a few men would glance at her before averting their eyes, as if they were too afraid
Every word Clarion heard from Jade made his expression turn even darker. When she finished, Clarion almost wanted to stomp on the woman even as he suppressed his anger. Just when Clarion was going to slap Jade in the face as she deserved, Neve stopped him.Neve then took a golden card from her Hermes handbag and gave it to Jade. "I have a member card. This is the card your madam gave to me when the Platinum Casino was first established. I believe you will accept this."Neve never paid much attention to the card when she first received it and simply kept it in her handbag. She did not expect it to have some use today. "This is one out of the fifty member cards the casino gave out at the beginning. I was told it gives me the highest privilege. You won't deny this, will you?"While Neve was smiling, her words were cold and harsh. "If you won't, then I can assume the Platinum Casino has a problem with the Fosters of the Universal Sect. I will then report this to my grandfather."Clario
The woman was beaming at Clarion and said, "Everyone knows who you are in Grand City, sir. My name is Jade Bierstadt, and I'm your biggest fan. Although I'm a fan, I still need to obey the rules here. It will be bad for society if everyone can simply break the rules, right?"In other words, it's not because I have something against you. But it's because I have no choice as this is my duty. Since I'm making a living here, I need to perform my duties to earn my salary, correct? So, please forgive us and show us workers some mercy. But if you must ignore the rules here, then I'm afraid I'll have no choice…"And then, Jade gently clapped her hands. A group of men-in-black slowly walked out of the VIP passage after that. There were also some clicking sounds from the high ground some distance away, as several men started to parade their sniper rifles.The Platinum Casino had truly demonstrated their superiority today.Harvey narrowed his eyes. He had quickly determined that whether it wa
