“We brought down Samson Lee and Cyrus Bierstadt, Master York!“Everything they did in the past, all the evidence of their corruption, is enough to put them both behind bars for the rest of their lives!Watson Braff’s high and mighty attitude was replaced by endless respect and politeness.“According to those two filth, Mandy Zimmer seems to be behind all this.”Watson showed a confused expression.Naturally, he already looked into her relationship with Harvey York.Harvey frowned. He did not expect Mandy to be this headstrong to use her connections against Fortune Hall.“Mandy’s just being considerate. She didn’t want you to hurt the neighbors or get into trouble because of your geomancy.“From this perspective, she’s only reporting the situation to the authorities.Watson had no intention of sugarcoating anything.“That was why we didn’t get Mandy to take responsibility. That said, there’ll be people to inform her that the situation’s been done.”Harvey lightly nodded.“Th
The moment Watson Braff put the cloth in his hand, it flew in the air before it turned to powder.Soren Braff was confused when he saw the sight.“What happened, Watson?”Watson looked at his brother before explaining the entire situation from the previous day.He immediately drove home after leaving the hotel…But somehow, he felt extremely tired while he was on the road.He knew that he should not fall asleep then, but his body and eyelids did not cooperate with him.On a bustling street such as the one he was on, it would be easy to think of what would happen if he really did close his eyes.Right as he was about to pass out, a hint of warmth came into his heart before he regained consciousness.But even so, his entire body was filled with cold sweat. He was this close to driving himself into the reservoir.Soren frowned after hearing his brother’s explanation.“This is nothing. Clearly, you just got tired.“It’s not that I want to complain, but you should’ve gotten your
That said, Soren Braff respected his brother so much that he did not say a word about the situation. He calmly looked at Harvey York, waiting to see just what he would do to deal with the matter.“I’ve seen what you can do, Master York!“I would’ve been dead without your help!“My entire family would’ve been buried with me six feet under!Watson Braff was filled with nothing but utter respect toward Harvey.“That said, I’m the only person who touched the car. I’ve never been to a cemetery or touched anything bad either…“I searched around the car but couldn’t find anything…”Harvey waved his hand to cut off Watson.“Let me take a look at the car.”Then, Harvey walked outside before reaching in front of Watson’s Audi A8.It was odd. Watson had gotten into several accidents already, but his car remained completely unscathed.Judging from Harvey’s deduction, the dead air coming from the car would not dissipate until Watson died.Watson and Soren followed over after seeing Harv
“That said, this doesn’t solve everything.“No ordinary person can just do something like this.“You can’t fix this unless you dig up the person behind the incident,” said Harvey York.Harvey had his guesses as to who would go against Watson Braff like this, but he would only speak about it if Watson wanted to.Watson lightly nodded.“I’ll deal with it, Master York!“I’ll think of a way to deal with the root cause…”Watson was filled with confusion when he looked at Harvey.In just a single night, his impression of Harvey completely changed.At first, he thought Harvey was just some con man…But now, he would not even dare think that way.If it were not for Harvey, he would have died a thousand times already.His enemy was extremely ruthless. He had no way to protect himself other than asking someone like Harvey to help.For the sake of his Hermit Family and his own safety, Watson knew that he had to cling to Harvey.Just for the sake of Harvey saving his life, he felt th
“I believe you, but I also believe my family would have the power to fix this!” exclaimed Soren Braff coldly.“Maybe in your eyes, you were the one who turned the tide of my brother’s life!“But for me, you’re clearly harboring ulterior motives!“You better hope that I’m wrong.”Then, Soren gave Harvey York a firm pat on his shoulder.Naturally, he would be able to dislocate any ordinary man’s shoulder with that strength.It was not that he had anything personal against Harvey. He only wanted Harvey to know just how powerful the Braff family actually was.Tap!Soren’s body trembled before he showed utter disbelief.Harvey stood completely still, but Soren felt he had just tapped his hand on a metal plate.The massive shock he felt on his hand trembled all the way to his chest to the point where it made him cough up blood.‘Damn! He’s an expert martial artist!’“I suggest you save some strength, Director Braff.Harvey smiled faintly before he brushed aside Soren’s hand.“I
Right when the siblings were filled with utter disbelief while deciding that they were going to be in Harvey York’s good graces…A huge group of people gathered around Fortune Hall’s gazebo.Cliff Saban handed Harvey a cup of tea with a bright smile.“You’re in luck, Sir York!“With the car, you can do whatever you want in Golden Sands now!”Dariel Jackson showed a faint smile.“I heard that there was a first-in-command who’d visit a geomancy expert every week, broadening his connections in a short amount of time.“I didn’t believe it before, but now I do.“No wonder everyone says that a true geomancy expert is the king of the underworld!”Harvey casually smiled.“Watson Braff and I are just friends. That’s a little exaggerated, don’t you think?“It’s fine when we talk about this now, but make sure the talk stays here.”Thomas Burton leaned over with an impressed look on his face.“You don’t know the Braff family, Sir York?“They’re one of the Hermit Families we’re talkin
“Simply put, if we’re talking about finances…“The Pagan family, the Robbins family, and the Jackson family had riches in different ways that could rival countries.“If we’re talking authority…“The Bolton family and the Gibson family are like the city’s great protectors! With them around, nobody would dare do anything to threaten the city!“That said, the one true powerhouse is still the Braff family!“The family is filled with extraordinary talent!“Watson Braff’s grandfather, father, and eldest brother were first-in-commands of the city before!“Two of the elders have already retired, but their influence on the government is still immense.“Watson’s brother was also just transferred to a higher position in Wolsing.“As for Watson and Soren Braff, you don’t need me to explain them anymore.“Other than that, countless people from the family also have important roles to play within the government!“Safe to say that the government of the city belongs to them!“That said, the
Dariel put down his phone before speaking.“Sir York, I heard that he’s gotten really close to your wife recently. Should I send my men to castrate him?“If it were me, I’d just have him buried at this point!” said Cliff Saban.“All you people think about is stuff like this.Harvey York let out a sigh.“I don’t like playing with underhanded tactics.“If we want him dead, we’ll get him fair and square.“I don’t want anyone to give him an excuse to think otherwise.“That’s why I’ll handle this myself.”Then, Harvey gave Arlet Pagan a call.“I need to buy something, Arlet. I have three hundred million on me right now, so don’t hold back…“Remember, I want an invoice.”***Six o’clock in the afternoon, in front of Zimmer Enterprise.Luxury cars were driving all around the place. It was the evening rush hour.Harvey leaned on the side of the road with a laundry bag, as if he was another one of the scavengers on the street.He squinted at the pedestrian crossing while he pati
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
