“Oh? Is that so?“So, you’re the kind of man who seeks gratitude?Kairi Patel chuckled before lifting Harvey York’s chin with a finger.“How about this? I can give you my body for the rest of my life.”Harvey’s face turned bright red before letting out a cough.“That’s a pretty unconventional offer!“Normally, you should be doing my bidding for the rest of my life instead!”Kairi let out a scoff.“That’s for people who aren’t as good-looking. Of course, I’d have to give my body to someone as handsome as you.”Harvey smiled sheepishly.“I’ll have to respectfully decline your offer.“I’m just doing my duty, after all.”Kairi frowned after hearing Harvey’s words.“Are you calling me ugly?” Harvey chuckled.“Maybe I’m just a man with some decency!”Kairi was so angry that she almost broke a tooth gritting her teeth.‘People are lining up straight to Wolsing just to pursue me!‘And yet this b*stard won’t even choose me?!’Harvey let out another cough after seeing Kairi’s
“Your savior?”Ari Foster was confused. She could not understand what Kairi Patel meant.Kairi pointed at Harvey York.“There! That’s him! Harvey!“He was the one who saved me on the plane too.“That means he already saved me twice already.“Twice?Ari showed an odd expression as she glanced at Harvey.“Him?“He’s your savior?”Kairi merely smiled.“That’s right! I was planning to give him my body as well!“Though, it’s a shame that he didn’t want me…”Ari’s expression turned glacial before she glared at Harvey.“Go! Take this man down!“Kill him if he even tries to resist!”Kairi’s expression changed.“What is the meaning of this?”Ari let out a cold chuckle.“A young man like him actually managed to take out a King of Arms from one of the sacred martial arts training grounds…“He must be one of them!“Go!”Ari’s subordinates pulled out their firearms with cold glares, prepared to pull the trigger if Harvey even attempted anything.Harvey casually put away his p
Ari Foster showed a cold smirk when she squinted at Harvey York.The man furiously screamed at Harvey.“How dare you do this to me?! Do you have a death wish or something?!”Bam!Harvey instantly kicked the man and sent him flying before slamming onto the ground unconscious.Harvey’s decisiveness completely shocked the entire crowd.After all, he was also highly skillful.“Who the Hell are you, you b*stard?!” Ari exclaimed.Harvey could not be bothered to give any sort of reply. He immediately pointed his firearm in another direction before pulling the trigger.Bang!Sounds of overlapping gunshots and screams were heard. All the people surrounding Harvey were lying on the ground while holding their legs the next moment.Gaspian Patel and the others quickly changed their expressions when they saw the sight.Naturally, they did not expect Harvey would even do this.Ari was completely enraged after seeing the sight.“How dare you lay your hands on one of my men?! Do you have
After saving Kairi Patel, Harvey York left the scene for her to clean up.He believed that she would handle everything properly, judging from her abilities.Then, he called Thomas Burton for him to drive them both to a place to eat.Harvey wanted to go to a roadside stall, but Thomas insisted on treating him to a good meal. The two then went to the Golden Sands Hotel.Thomas was extremely quiet while he was on the road. He did not say a single word after seeing the bloodshed in front of him just now. He did not ask Harvey about the details, as if nothing had happened.Harvey felt impressed by Thomas’ attitude. Safe to say that he was a man who would achieve great things but was only hindered by luck for the moment.Soon after, the car was parked in front of the Golden Sands Hotel. Thomas quickly pulled out a bank card and gave it to Harvey when he remembered something.“Here’s 7.3 million dollars, Sir York. This is all I have for now.“Give this to Mandy Zimmer. Tell her that t
After hearing Thomas Burton’s sigh, Harvey York could clearly feel the weariness of a man.Harvey frowned.“Who’s been causing you trouble?“Even your past competitors wouldn’t do something like this to waste their own energy, right?”Thomas let out a bitter chuckle.“One of them was my good friend, and the other was the woman I loved…“Not only did they get together after my downfall, but they also kept trampling all over me!“Then, I found out that my friend had been siphoning money from me for the past few years…“That woman had been colluding with him too…“I’m a fool. I didn’t even realize that I was already betrayed.“They won’t let me rise again, no matter what.“They know that I’ll crush them the moment I do.“That’s why I quit doing business. I have a car with me here. Maybe I’ll try chauffeuring…“Those people will be at ease and I’ll be relieved as well.“When I’m done dealing with my matters, I’ll finally retire and return to my hometown.”Thomas seemed quite
“She’s my ex, Sydney Lee.“We were together for many years. I loved her. I wanted to give her the entire world.“But I never knew she hooked up with my good friend for so long!“After my assets and business were frozen by the government, not only did she take away the money I had left, she conspired with my good friend to trick me into signing a contract, forcing me to put up with all that debt…“Thank goodness I got lucky. I would’ve sent those b*stards to jail by now if that weren’t the case!“That said, I must thank Mandy Zimmer for saving me back then…”A sense of respect was showing on Thomas Burton’s face.Harvey York smiled.“Do you still hate her?”“Of course, but I thought about it for a few days…Thomas showed a stern expression.“Hating on a woman is the most useless thing I can do.“If I have power, I should be taking revenge instead.“It’s a shame that I have none. I can’t do anything except try my best to survive.“I have no right to take revenge.“No matte
“Who in Hell is that fatty over there?! He’s dressed like a damn country bumpkin, and he’s even staring all over us!”“He must be some sort of pervert! Look! He’s staring at my legs now!”“Ugh! I can’t believe this! I forgot my stockings today! He saw every part of my legs! How disgusting!”“I know, right?! People like that are just heinous! Doesn’t he know that we’re innocent and pure women here?!”“How are we supposed to get married after this?!”“Disgusting!”“Pervert!”“A man like him is trying to have a piece of good meat?”“Dream on!”The women were gossiping up a storm.Sydney Lee, who was on her phone, raised her head at this moment.A playful smile was showing on her face the moment she saw Thomas Burton.“I was wondering who it was! It’s Young Master Burton himself!”Sydney obviously remembered who Thomas was. After all, the two had been together for quite a while.After being reminded of the past, Sydney felt like vomiting.Her beautiful face was filled with u
After being ridiculed by his ex-girlfriend and her group of friends, Thomas Burton could not hold his feelings back any longer despite his good nature.“Don’t you dare cross the line, Sydney Lee!” exclaimed Thomas while showing a cold glare.“You know just how well I used to treat you! I don’t care how you mock me…“But if you keep taking advantage of other people, then don’t blame me for what happens next…”“What did you say?!Sydney showed a disdainful glare.“You’re just useless trash who fell off! Do you think you’re still the Garbage King or something?!“You can’t tolerate anything! Are you a man or what?!”“Huh?!”Thomas did not know how to refute after being relentlessly ridiculed.Harvey tapped on Thomas’ shoulder with a smiley face.“Alright. Don’t run your mouth to despicable people like those. Let’s head inside.”“What did you say?!“You called us despicable?!“Let me tell you something! We’re all with rich and wealthy people here!Sydney disdainfully glared a
Drake shrugged nonchalantly and said to Journi, "I don't care whether you want to kneel, but you know my nickname well."As they spoke, Drake's right finger was already starting to pull the trigger.Journi gritted her teeth, but in the end, she slowly bent the knee. Harvey was stunned as he was going to make his move. There was surprise in his eyes. All these men and women from high society had their own pride. He did not expect her to be able to be so flexible in a time like this. She deserved his praise!"Tsk. Aren't you a princess? Aren't you always prideful? Don't they call you a goddess?" Drake looked at Journi disdainfully when he saw her kneel. He patted Journi's hand with a sneer. "You've always despised me, haven't you? Why are you kneeling before me now?"If it isn't because Ms. Isis desired you, do you think I'll let you kneel here? You're just a daughter from some second-rate top family. You think you're untouchable, and you want to go against us? Do you think you're an
Hearing Drake's words, Journi coldly said, "Drake, are you stupid? Do you know who you are? Are you threatening me? Ruin my face, then. Show me if you can actually bear the consequences of your action!"Journi was quite fearless. Besides Harvey being right next to her, it was also because Journi was sure Drake would not dare to do anything to her. She was a member of the Stanton family, after all. While the Stanton family was not one of the top ten families or one of the five hidden families, they were still one of the top families.If they butted heads and went all out, it would never end well for both sides."Ha! Don't think I didn't know Emery is no longer interested in you," Drake waved his hand, and four brawny men walked out, their eyes locked on Harvey and Journi."I gave you some respect in the past because Emery wanted you, so I did it for his sake. Do you really think you mean anything? And now? Who do you think you are? So what if I tell you to kneel and call her Queen?
Just when Harvey was giving Isis a good look, Jouni could not help but yelp as if she had discovered something novel. "Drake Ward? Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be back in the Northern Lands?"Harvey looked at Isis and instantly frowned. Then, his eyes turned to the man sitting opposite Isis. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had a buzz cut. He was also covered in tattoos and looked very aggressive. Most importantly, he was the only man from Country H who could be on the same level as all these foreigners here.And the way he looked at Isis was one of unrestrained aggression. However, despite clearly noticing that, Isis did not say anything else. That also explained the man's high status because, typically speaking, someone like Isis would definitely kill any man who gave her those looks."Drake Ward?" Harvey was curious. "Why does this name sound so familiar?""Of course it is," Journi replied coldly. "He belonged to one of the five hidden families, the Ward family o
Since the other side wanted to drop all pretenses, he also could do it his way. They lived in an era when fighting fire with fire was the only way to go. The man's expression froze, somewhat darkened. He did not expect this man to be the current chairman of Country H Commercial Group, which meant he had bitten off more than he could ever chew. If he had known, he would not have wasted his breath.But from how calm Harvey was, he could tell that Harvey was definitely someone who would honor his threats. If Harvey really did take this to Elric, then it would simply make everyone look bad. Even if they were sure this place had nothing to do with the commercial group, who would they complain to when Harvey locked all the exits?The moment that thought crossed the man's mind, he could only say with a straightened expression, "I see that you're the chairman, Mr. Harvey. If that's the case, please come in. My master wanted to meet you for a long time."When Journi saw the man had taken a
"True, this is not our territory," the man said with a smile, "but since Mr. Stanton rented this place to us, this place is under our management for the time being. When he rented us this place, we made a promise. Other than the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group, only the guests that we designated can enter this place. "Even gods will have to follow this rule. Not only are you trying to make it hard for us, but you're also making it hard for your father. I believe you won't make it difficult for us, right?The man gave Journi a meaningful smile. A woman who came to his master after submitting herself to him didn't have anything to be proud of.Journi's expression darkened. "What if I said this man is my boyfriend?""Boyfriend?" The man smiled. "He can't enter even if he's your husband. But I know you people like to break the rules all the time. If you want to force your way through, then we'll act accordingly."The man clapped; instantly, eight powerful-built men walked
The next day, eight o'clock in the evening… Harvey got into a car, and Journi was waving at him with a smile. In the past two days, Journi didn't interrupt him and Yvonne, and simply let them clean up everything that had happened earlier.Once it was almost done, only then did Journi ask Harvey to do as he promised and pretend to be her boyfriend.According to Journi, the man from Country A who liked her was becoming worse and worse. One time, he even went to the female toilet and she almost lost her innocence. All she wanted was for Harvey to deal with this properly.Originally, Harvey didn't want to make a move. When he heard how improper the man acted, he was furious and agreed to Journi's request. However, Journi said that this couldn't be taken care of using force alone. She hoped Harvey would go and meet him and settle this peacefully. This would be good for both sides.Originally, Harvey was going to ask Tyson to immediately teach that man a lesson. But since Journi requ
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
