Harvey’s expression worsened.“Why are you doing that? What are you trying to say here?” he asked.“Do I look like the kind of person who wants that to happen to you?”“Aren’t you supposed to heal me?” Arlet shot back. A timid expression colored her face.“I’m ready for you to hit me however you want!”“You can do whatever you want as long as I’m healed!”“I like it when you hit harder!”“You…” Harvey was startled. “You’re not actually a masochist, are you?”Harvey stared at her with a bemused look. Then, he swung his palm forward.“Who told you I was going to heal you that way?”“Last time, I was just clearing your veins to relieve your headaches!”“This time, I’ll have to deal with the problem once and for all through the martial arts you’ve been practicing.”“I need you to tell me what style you’ve been training in to see where the problem is.”After hearing Harvey’s words, Arlet’s face turned as red as a traffic light.She quickly retracted from him and went to ru
“Congratulations, Arlet!”“Looks like you weren’t lying after all!”“Quick! Tell us where that person is!”“We need to see him as well!”Mr. Robbins was filled with anxiety.“We found so many well-known doctors from all around the world. Even Oskar Armstrong took a look at us before!”“He told us that it isn’t a sickness, and that it’s a curse!”“Only a geomancy expert can deal with it!”“Even so, we couldn’t fix it even after hunting down so many of them…”“In any case, we’ll do anything as long as you can get the expert to help us!”Mrs. Robbins sighed.“Everything’s all up to you, Arlet.”“When I deal with all this, I’ll make sure to find you a husband that can take a beating from all the top-rated families!”Harvey’s face darkened instantly.‘A husband that can take a beating? What does that even mean?’Arlet appeared very awkward when she saw the look on Harvey’s face, and hurriedly changed the subject.“The expert’s right in front of you, Mrs. Robbins.”“Let me i
Saul was boiling with anger after hearing Harvey’s words.He immediately thought Arlet was probably fooled by the man in front of him.‘He doesn’t even have a certificate, yet he dares to call himself an expert?’‘What a joke!’‘Is he a con man or an idiot?’“Did you graduate from the Springfield University of the royal family, perhaps?”“Not at all,” Harvey said. “I learned how to operate an excavator pretty well during my time at university. I have a certificate for that, too.”“You’re just bullsh*itting then, aren’t you?”After hearing Harvey’s words, Saul’s expression turned as cold as ice.“You’re in a completely different profession!”“Why are you talking to us about geomancy when you only drive excavators?!”“What a joke!”“Don’t you understand the importance of geomancy to Country H as a whole?”“We’ll beat you to death if you keep trying to fool us like this!”Arlet’s expression changed after hearing Saul’s words. She knew that the situation was about to escalate
“Ah…”“Please! Come back!”Saul snapped to his senses and stumbled out, screaming for Harvey.Lola looked as if she came back from a dream, and then hurriedly she followed Saul.A shame Harvey completely ignored them; he stepped into the elevator before disappearing into the crowd within.The couple was panicking; Saul quickly took out his phone to call their subordinates to chase Harvey down.Arlet, who had been following the two, slapped the phone to the ground.“What is wrong with you, Saul?!” she snarled, annoyed.“Harvey’s clearly furious now! What’s the point if you even manage to find him?”“In the first place, you won’t be getting any help if he’s not willing to give you any!”Saul’s head was drenched with cold sweat.“We were wrong, Arlet! We were ignorant!”“We didn’t know that he was such a talented man!”“Please! For the sake of us not having a baby for so long, help us say something to him!”“Money isn’t a problem at all!”“We’ll give him as much money as he
“My branch hasn’t received any pay for the past two months because of this.”“The workers are getting emotional, and the production’s on a standstill as well.”“The company will go bankrupt if you don’t do anything about this.”Mandy carefully passed over a cigarette, looking very sincere.“This isn’t your first time working with the ninth branch, Manager Lee.”“You should know the strength of my branch. After all, we’re being supported by the Jean family, one of the top ten families of Country H.”“If you’re willing to help, I’ll make sure to repay the favor.”Sonny smiled as he looked at Mandy.“I told you already, CEO Zimmer.”“The ninth branch has no money on the ledger right now. There’s no way for you to pass our risk assessment!”“We can’t possibly risk our business and go against our morals to help you.”“You won’t get a single dime out of the bank!”“That said, there is still a chance for you…”Sonny threw a contract on the table.“Young Master Lowe from Heaven’s
Mandy’s expression worsened.“I’m telling you this one more time, Manager Lee!”“No matter what you say, I will never accept this!”Sonny sighed.“Why don’t you get it, Mandy?”“Just sleep with him for a while. You’ll get so much out of this!”“A lot of people have been dreaming about this opportunity, but they don’t even have a chance to!”“Why are you so stubborn?”“Besides, you’ve already divorced. So what if you sleep with him for a while?”“More importantly, you’ll open more roads for yourself.”“After this, you’ll be Young Master Lowe’s woman. You’ll be able to do whatever you want in the Golden Sands!”“But if you don’t accept the offer… Forget getting any money, it’ll be hard for you to survive here!”“Why would you go against money?”Sonny was clearly an experienced man when it came to despicable offers.His words were filled with double meaning, constantly alternating between different tones.Ordinary women would be immediately moved by his words, but…Mandy f
While Mandy was shrieking in fear, Sonny stood up and gritted his teeth.He wiped the blood off his mouth, and pointed furiously at Harvey.“Who the f*ck are you, you b*stard?!”“What do you think you’re doing?”“How dare you hit me!”However, Harvey walked up and beat Sonny to the ground again.“You’re asking me that when you’re doing this to my wife?”“Look at yourself in the damn mirror!”“Your wife?”Sonny froze before exclaiming, “You’re the useless live-in son-in-law?”“How dare you?!”“I’ll f*cking kill you!”Despite Sonny’s screams, Harvey swung his palm forward again.Slap!“You can insult me all you want, but if you even lay a finger on my woman…”“I’ll kill you!”Sonny covered his face, and fell sitting on the ground. His entire body was trembling in pain, and his face was completely swollen.“Stop hitting him, Harvey!”Mandy quickly dragged Harvey back, anxious.“He’ll really die!”She had butterflies in her stomach, but she was also very worried about H
Naturally, Sonny was so shameless to the point that he didn’t care for his self-respect anymore.He was quick to explain and twist the entire situation in his favor…Hoping that Chloe would take out Harvey for him.“That’s not true, Vice President…” Mandy quickly said.Yet, it was clear that Chloe was supporting Sonny. She had no intention to listen to Mandy’s explanation.“You hit our people in our own turf?” she snarled coldly.“How bold can you get?”“You’ll be blacklisted here from now on!”“Come! Get these people out of here!”Her tone was filled with a righteous and fearless aura.After hearing Chloe’s words, Mandy’s face immediately lost all color.She didn’t think that things would escalate like this.The ninth branch was already in deep trouble…Yet, their fate was set in stone because of this!‘I haven’t even been in charge of the ninth branch for that long…’ she thought, miserable. ‘How could I think of becoming the person in charge of the Jean family when I’
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
