“Please don’t touch the clothes, Miss! Our products are precious here! We won’t be able to sell them if you dirty them!”Just as Leona was about to take the clothes down, a prideful woman, who seemed like the store manager, strutted over in her high heels with a disdainful expression.Leona froze before she instinctively replied, “I’m sorry. I’d like to buy these clothes here. Can you bring them down for me to try?”“You want to try them on?The manager sized up Leona and was disdainful when she saw her fading shirt.“Are you sure you can buy something this expensive? Why would I even let you try this on?!”“What are you saying?!“You’re talking to the lady of Fortune Hall herself!”Thomas could not help but speak up after hearing those words.“The lady of Fortune Hall?”The manager froze before forcing out a smile.Even someone like her had heard about the news.The Fortune Hall was not as famous as before, but the manager would not dare go against prominent figures like t
After hearing Henley Johnson’s words, a few customers quickly formed a circle around the commotion with disdainful expressions.‘Not only is that man ignoring his family’s needs, but he’s also out here trying to find a sugar mommy!’‘How shameless can he get?!’“Henley, right?”Leona Foley’s face instantly darkened after hearing Henley relentlessly criticizing Harvey York.“We’re here to shop, not to hear you run your mouth!“I’ll sue you for this!”Leona did not care that she was being insulted…But she just could not accept Harvey getting the same treatment.“You’re suing?Henley was in disbelief.“Is your head okay?“Don’t you know that I’m one of the ten Golden Managers of the Royal Mall?“What’s the point of suing me?!“Kept man like these are everywhere! I can tell just by looking at them!“I’m saying all this for your own good!“Not only will your family not sue me for this, but they’ll also thank me for this!“You sure you can even afford these clothes?”A few
The other shopping guides showed righteous looks after hearing those arguments.‘Not only can they not buy the clothes, but they’re also causing us all this trouble!’Leona Foley was a little angry at the sight.“What kind of manager are you, Henley Johnson?!“What’s the point of treating us like this?!“Do you really think we can’t buy the clothes?!”“Treating you like this?Henley let out a chortle.“You overestimate yourself, Miss.“Do you think you have the right to say something like that?“I’m one of the Golden Managers here! I earn hundreds and thousands of dollars every single year!“You? You’re just a woman with a faded shirt! Stop pretending to be rich already!“Even if you’re going to buy clothes, this is not somewhere you should be right now!Then, Henley pointed toward the street outside.“Just walk here for a while, and you’ll see a lot of stalls around soon enough!“You only need a few dollars per clothing as well! You’ll definitely be able to afford it!
“All of it?Henley Johnson showed a disdainful glare before she burst out laughing.“Does he think he’s a wealthy heir or something? He’s just a kept man!“Do people have no self-awareness nowadays?!“If he can even afford a sock in that store, I’ll admit defeat!”After all, many of the rich and powerful would not even dare buy anything from the Elegant Edge.‘A kept man wouldn’t even have the money for this!’A large group of shopping guides and customers quickly came over to watch Harvey York make a joke out of himself.The staff from the Elegant Edge hesitated when they looked at each other, but they decided to fully serve Leona in the end.Soon after, every piece of suitable clothing was chosen. Dozens of bags with clothing worth millions of dollars were filled.Beep!A small receipt popped out as soon as Harvey casually swiped his card.“Huh?!”Everyone around was completely shocked.The shopping guides and guests were filled with utter disbelief. They were all showi
When Harvey York and the others returned, a dozen cars were already gathered around the place.The police, the housing department, and even the street department were there.Simply put, those people represented the government’s joint law enforcement.Dozens of people in uniform were completely surrounding the place, laying their hands on everything with fierce looks on their faces.Someone was even driving their excavator with a righteous yet distant gaze.Two bald men were standing in the very front. One of them was taller than the other. The other was a little stockier.The tall one was wearing the uniform of the housing department with a tag on his chest labeled ‘Samson Lee’. The chubbier man was an inspector of the police department called Cyrus Bierstadt.The two were usually employed by the government together to sweep out any illegal buildings.Their target for the day was none other than Fortune Hall itself.Cliff Saban did not show up but had already told his subord
“Scamming people?”The customers were shocked.“There must be some mistake, Inspector!”“Yeah! Fortune Hall’s been around for so many years now! At this point, everyone in the locality is an old customer!“More importantly, they don’t even take any money!”“How are they supposed to scam people?!”“Yeah! Fortune Hall’s been here since the Whip Dynasty! What do you mean that there are illegal documents?!”“Are you people cursed or something? Are your heads okay?”Everyone burst out laughing, thinking that Samson Lee and Cyrus Bierstadt were making a mountain out of a molehill.“We represent the law! Don’t you see?!“This place is a huge scam! People will die for this!“How can you not understand this?!”Samson’s face instantly darkened before he screamed at the crowd, “Go! Get out of here before I also arrest all of you for the investigation!”“You people have no say whether the place is a scam!”“Yeah! This place has been for the locals since the beginning! It’s fine as lo
After being utterly disrespected, Samson Lee was showing a horrible expression on his face. He wanted to lash out but could not find a reason to.Scared that nobody was getting an easy way out of the situation, Thomas Burton quickly walked out with a forced smile.“It’s all just a misunderstanding, Director Lee!“That said, we can’t just let everyone come here for nothing, right?“I’ll arrange a feast for everyone at noon! I’m sure we’ll all be happy about it!”“A misunderstanding?! Bullsh*t!Samson kicked Thomas aside.“If you keep yapping and try to bribe us again, I’ll charge you for obstructing the law!“I’ll make you live behind bars for the rest of your life!”After seeing the ruthless man throw out accusations without shame, Thomas’ expression changed.As soon as he was about to say something, Harvey York waved his hand to stop him.“Enough, both of you. Fortune Hall has every single piece of document that you need. I also have certificates to validate my work experie
Soon, Harvey York and the others were all taken inside the government vehicles.Even their phones were confiscated, preventing them from contacting the outside world.Voom voom voom!Harvey’s phone suddenly rang while on the road. An unknown number was showing on the screen.Cyrus Bierstadt annoyingly swung the phone around before picking up the call.An apologetic and respectful tone could be heard from the other side.“Hello! Is this Master York? I…”Cyrus let out a cold chuckle.“Enough! Harvey doesn’t even have the credentials to open up his business! We’ve already arrested that man!“You best not look for the damn con man anymore!“He’s about to be locked up!”“I’m Watson Braff. Who the Hell are you?”A cold tone could be heard from the other side.“Why does it even matter to you?!Cyrus was boiling with anger after hearing the aggressive tone.“I’ll arrest you too, if you keep yapping! I’ll track your down through your phone if I have to!“Hmph!”Cyrus then immed
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
