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
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
"All of us were ready to commit suicide for the 50 million A dollars!""We even sold out our country, meaning we could never return to the Island Nations!""You either give us all the money back, or we'll never stop hounding you for it!" All the Islanders were extremely furious.In truth, the Islanders who were paragons of unity and love were ordinary people in the end and could be swayed by profit. Without the money, they wouldn't have given such a performance.Linus couldn't help but shudder when he saw all the Islanders looking at him with murderous intent, as if a pack of wolves were glaring at him, with the intent to kill. "Stop making such wild accusations!" he cried. "While I really did pay to tell you to work, all I did was give you 10,000 dollars! And that's not A dollars, but H dollars. As for paying all of you 50 million dollars per person… Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm willing to pay so much just so you'll frame Yvonne? Why don't you consider if you're w
The phones of all the Islanders who were willing to commit suicide started to vibrate. All the Islanders who were in their righteous fury took out their phones. When they saw the content on the screen, they roared—they were so angry that they almost went mad.They instantly got up from the ground, their eyes bloodshot. All of them glared at Linus, as if wanting to tear him apart. The reporters and spectators were a little shocked, and instinctively took a few steps back. It was obvious that they felt a murderous intent.Before anyone could react, Nomura waved his hand. All the Islanders surrounded Linus and his men. Linus frowned slightly. "What do you all want?""Fools!" Nomura immediately aimed his longsword at Linus. "Don't you people from Country A call yourself a civilized world? That obeying the contract is important to you? Why did you suddenly break the contract when we've done everything you asked us to do?"The other Islanders all looked at Linus with a murderous expres
Linus wore a victor's smile. The reason he looked for Tojo Nomura earlier was to accuse Yvonne and the Xavier family on the spot, to make sure they would be accused of being traitors.He didn't expect a little money to be enough to make them act. Good, good. All he could say was that no matter how powerful or barbaric the Islanders were, they were nothing before the great people of country A. Not to mention, he had already given them their rewards. Even if he didn't, the Islanders still had to act as he ordered.Yvonne frowned. Of course, she knew that nothing the Islanders said was true—merely defamation. The problem was that she couldn't understand why someone like Nomura, who was a disciple of Shinto Way, had to make up such lies.The moment that thought crossed her mind, Yvonne looked coldly at Linus and said, "Just how much did you give them to the point they're willing to sell their country?""Tsk! You think that's enough to scare me?" Linus smiled wryly. "Everybody knows h
Very quickly, many Islanders ran to the stage. All of them were wearing the Islanders' traditional summer garb. The way they stood and the way they lifted their beard made them easily identifiable as Islanders.According to how unified Islanders were, everything they said would most likely be true.When Linus saw what was happening, sat down and folded his legs. His sexy secretary helped him light up a cigar. He took a deep breath, then looked at the unfolding scene with interest.Very quickly, the Islander leading the men took a step forward and said angrily, "Everyone! I'm Shinto Way's disciple, Tojo Nomura. I'm also the leader of the disciples still in Country H. "A few days ago, the Xaviers of Wolsing requested a marriage with our Young Master, Shingen. They have also signed a lot of contracts with us. Some of them include how Shinto Way will transfer the shares of our assets in Country H to them, while they will have to transfer ownership of their business on the Island Natio
When Yvonne saw Linus pulling out things they shouldn't and even giving them to the reporters, she instantly realized that he cared little about the consequences anymore.What he did was to ensure the Xaviers were blamed for everything. Even if he gained nothing from it, he still wanted to do it just so the Xaviers would have a hard time in Country H. He even wanted to use this to make both Country H and the Island Nation to force them to publicly deal with Shingen's death.Harvey, who caused all of this, would be in a lot of trouble. Yvonne looked at Linus coldly. "Linus, you know that taking things out of context and making up stories won't be beneficial to you. Where's your conscience?""Conscience? What's that?" Linus said with an exaggerated expression. "I'm not the one who killed Shingen. It's you Xaviers of Wolsing and the prospective son-in-law you wanted. Are you afraid others will find out? I'm just someone who knew the truth with a righteous heart!"I can't bear to see
The faces of Yvonne and the others from the Xaviers all shifted a little. It was obvious they didn't expect an Islander to appear. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at all of this coldly.Journi, who was a little bit surprised, turned to Harvey subconsciously. "What's going on?""We're simply giving the full package. The most difficult part of all of this was to explain why the Islanders would give up. Rather than waiting for others to expose the truth, why don't we give everyone the truth?" Harvey said calmly."What do you mean?" Journi said with a frown. "Simple. While these people are Islanders, they'll work for money. In this situation, the words of an Islander are more effective than the words of a hundred people from Country H…"Journi was curious about what Harvey wanted to do, but then some of the reporters realized what was happening. "Are these allegations from the Islanders true? Did you really assassinate Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, who wanted to improve the relationship
