“This isn’t about that. You’re going to pay for my losses,” Harvey said calmly as he studied Silas’s arrogant expression.Silas laughed coldly.“I’m paying for your losses, you say? Are you out of your mind?”Alma quickly took out her phone.“You’re trying to cause us trouble, aren’t you?”“Fine! I’ll get the cops here to deal with this!”“We’ll see how you’ll get out of the situation after that!”“After all, blackmail is a big crime!”Alma excitedly dialed the three numbers. It would be so cathartic to send the live-in son-in-law straight to jail!“Hurry up already,” Harvey urged.“You should be giving your way to pedestrians on pedestrian crossings. This is the law.”“Also, you’ll have to take responsibility for my losses if you run into me. This is also the law.”“The police will surely give you a lesson about this once they arrive.”Harvey’s calm words were filled with a dominant aura. Silas’s pupils shrunk and he suddenly found it hard to breathe, as if he was having
“I’m so sorry, Young Master John. We’ve carried out a full investigation of the situation this time. You’ll have to take full responsibility for this.”Silas’s daydreaming was interrupted when a bald inspector looked at the footage they acquired and said that to him.“According to traffic laws, you should be the one paying for Mr. York’s losses.”The smile on Silas’s face froze instantly. He didn’t expect something like this to happen.He wanted to say that Harvey was working with the police, but he knew that the cops were sent here randomly. Nothing here could prove what Silas was thinking.Him spouting random nonsense would only dig him into a deeper hole.Realizing that, his face turned cold.He didn’t think that squashing a live-in son-in-law would be this hard.“What the hell are you thinking?!”“This isn’t our fault at all!”Alma was stomping the ground furiously, screeching like a petulant child.“He’s just a useless piece of crap! He was trying to blackmail us, and n
“The market value of this in Hong Kong and Las Vegas is three hundred million dollars.”“I bought this from Archa Corporation for the same price.”“The receipt’s right here.”Harvey opened the bag, pouring the shattered porcelain to the ground before showing the receipt inside.“I was supposed to give this to my wife.”“And then what happened?”“You destroyed it!”“Do you think fifteen thousand dollars is enough to fix this?”“Are you taking advantage of me?”“Of course, you can call anyone to confirm this if you don’t believe me!”‘Three hundred million?!’The siblings froze, and their faces turned completely purple.The inspectors were speechless as well, thinking that Harvey was simply ruthless.‘How are we supposed to fix this?’Harvey did get on the pedestrian crossing, and was supposed to be let through. This was the law.He had a receipt for his invaluable porcelain as well.Simply put, all the evidence Harvey had was no less than perfect.Even if he was suspect
“Besides, why are you talking to me about respect now?” Harvey pressed.“Even if I intentionally broke the porcelain here, you’ll still have to take responsibility.”“If Silas didn’t cause trouble the day before, this wouldn’t have happened!”“If you want to play, then at least make sure you’re capable enough!”“If you lose, then admit your own defeats!”Harvey calmly took a few steps forward, as unperturbed as always.“Nonsense!” Rylee screeched.“Silas is a personable man! He’s not the man who you say he is!”Silas’s face was cold. There were some things that he just couldn’t say out loud.“This is slander, Harvey! Do you even have proof?”Alma looked at Harvey with an odd look.She thought Samson and the others were still doing their jobs. She was ready to see the bright look on Harvey’s face dissipate…But she didn’t think that all they had done was to no avail….Since Harvey was perfectly fine, it was clear Samson and Cyrus suffered quite a huge loss.“You know full
After stepping away from the company’s building entrance, Harvey got inside his Audi A8 and told Thomas to drive.Thomas wanted to say something, but he ended up stopping himself.Harvey had already shown a demonstration of his power. At this point, Thomas already knew that Harvey wasn’t just a live-in son-in-law.“Where are we going, Sir York?” Thomas asked instinctively after starting the car.“We have a meeting with Kellan at the Indigo Mountain, right?”“There’s something I need to tell him.”“If he can get all of the money back, I won’t even take a single dollar.”“He probably didn’t have this much money even after taking protection fees for the past decade.”“He’ll definitely put all his back into this.”Harvey leaned on the chair before taking a sip of tea.He understood Silas too well.With that attitude, that man would never pay the money back.Besides, a member of the Patel family was with him. He had no choice but to fight for his pride.The best way to draw out
“A Bioweapon?”Kellan gasped. He naturally knew what the thing was.“I didn’t think you people have ties with the Americans! Why would you get something that heinous here?”“Do you think I’ll just fold after seeing that?”“Even if you rip me to shreds and burn me up, I’ll never betray the head!”“Kill me already!”“If not, I’ll tear you b*stards apart!”“Interesting. I admire your tenacity.”The woman put away her makeup box before picking up the needle and tapping on it a few times.“Still, that tenacity is nothing to us.”“You’re an experienced man. You know that once we inject this into you, you’ll beg for mercy no matter how strong of a man you are!”“When that happens, you’ll do whatever we tell you to!”Kellan’s expression changed instantly. Sweat dripped down his face.After living in the underworld for so long, he knew exactly what the needle had in store.The American Bioweapon was combined with the Frontier Possession Technique.Once the fluid was injected, all
The woman smiled.“People like you can never imagine what Mr. Faceless has in store.”“You want to go against someone like him? How naive can you get?”“You should just give up now. Struggling does you no good, anyway.”“You’ll have people joining you soon too. Kairi and the others will kneel.”The woman crouched down, ready to inject Kellan with the needle.“Try me!”Kellan’s expression changed. He grabbed a piece of glass on the ground and swung it toward his neck.He’d rather die than become one of these people’s slaves.Bam!The woman quickly kicked the glass out of Kellan’s hand.She stepped on his chest, ready to inject the needle again.“Sigh…”A sigh could be heard.Harvey walked out with his arms crossed.This had nothing to do with him, but he had no choice but to take action after hearing that Kairi and Evermore would probably get involved in the situation.After all, this was one of the reasons why he showed up in Golden Sands.The woman and her companions
“The art of killing is an odd one, but this is just child’s play to me.”Harvey was as calm as ever.“I can deal with this in just three minutes.”The woman squinted, then threw Harvey a judgemental gaze.“So you want us to let you and Kellan go in return for doing us the favor, right?” she said, grinning.Harvey casually nodded.He didn’t want to fight if he could avoid it. After all, it’d be bad if he killed the people who were involved with Evermore.How was he supposed to get information out of those people then?“It’s quite an attractive deal, but I’m afraid I have to decline.”The woman smiled calmly.“That said, I’ll make your death a quick one since you’re being this nice.”Harvey narrowed his eyes. He thought the woman would agree to the deal instantly.Even if she had a deep grudge against Kellan, it’d be nothing compared to her own life.But since she declined so decisively, then she was clearly not forced into the situation.She had willingly brought this up
Isis's expression instantly darkened. Harvey's earlier decisiveness had already made her understand that Harvey would pull the trigger."Bend the knee, apologize, and make your vow," Harvey ordered calmly. "I'm growing impatient. Three, two, one…"Without giving Drake a chance to speak, Harvey pulled the trigger again.Clack!The fourth time. It was still a dry fire.Isis's mind was completely blank, and she was blinded momentarily. While she always looked like someone high-and-mighty, she felt like she was nothing in front of everything Harvey had been doing. She thought that she could easily lose her life.Drake was so scared that he was shuddering.While it was still a dry fire, the next time he pulled the trigger, there was a 50% chance of it being a bullet. No matter who Harvey pointed the gun at, that person would have a 50% chance of going to hell."My, they always said that those who are kind live short lives while those who are problematic live a very long life. I didn
"You're threatening me?" Harvey patted Drake's cheek. "I know you must be very haughty, but the problem is that you're right in my hands tonight. Do you think threatening me like that is going to help you? Do you actually think I wouldn't dare to pull that trigger after you threatened me?"I've killed people like you for a dime a dozen. Nothing happened to me anyway. Why am I still standing perfectly fine here? At the root of it, it's because people like you are useless!"Harvey continued in high spirits, "Hey, Drake. Do you want to make a bet? Let's bet that no matter how headstrong you are, you're going to kneel on the ground and beg me to spare your life."Drake coldly replied, "And what's the wager? Your life?"Harvey blurted out a laugh. "No, you're not nearly valuable enough to make me wager my life. But, if you don't beg me until the very end, I can agree to any of your conditions.""Fine. At the time, I'll make you kill yourself!" Drake said as he gritted his teeth. "We'll
"You're that lucky?" Harvey said, his shock palpable on his face. "Alright, one more time."This time, Drake raised his left hand to block the gun's muzzle using all his strength. He believed that if this continued, even if he would not die from a bullet, he would die from the fear alone. "You're scared?" Harvey looked at Drake curiously. "Aren't you the Madman? Aren't you the third in Wolsing out of all the Young Masters? Why are you so afraid of dying? You're so arrogant while harassing my girlfriend. Why are you such a piece of trash now, huh?" Harvey patted Drake's face disdainfully.In that instant, there was only silence. No one expected this man who called himself Journi's boyfriend to be so big-headed. Not only did he dare to threaten Drake, he really wanted to kill Drake. Was he not afraid the Wards of the Northern Land would show him no mercy?But of course, to someone like Journi, while she was surprised, she was mainly touched. She was certain someone like Harvey would
And then, Harvey waved his left hand. The moment when Drake was stunned, the revolver then dropped into Harvey's hand.Once Harvey had obtained the revolver, he spun the cylinder, unlocked the safety, and pointed the revolver around. All the people who were so smug earlier started to scream and tried to find places to hide after being shocked.Harvey's play with the revolver made it obvious that he would discharge it accidentally.Even Isis, who had always been so high-and-mighty, had her expression darkened for a while and hid behind a marble column subconsciously. He who has nothing to lose has nothing to fear. Harvey looked like he had nothing to lose at all.That was why the foreigners all believed that if they were killed by Harvey, even if Harvey was willing to die for his mistake, it was still something they could not accept. After forcing the group away, Harvey then pointed the revolver at Drake's head.Drake's eyes turned cold. "Who are you, kid? Do you think this is som
In the end, Journi took a deep breath and buried all her helplessness and fury deeper into her heart. Then, she slowly said, "You must be joking, Ms. Isis. You are the daughter of the Sherril Corp from Country A. No matter how bold I am, I wouldn't dare to cross you. However, I simply wish for you to show some mercy…"To thank you, I'm willing to give you some of the assets in Country A I owe you for free as my gift. I believe you won't make it difficult for me, right?"Journi thought she had already lowered herself to the point that she was practically begging Isis to show her mercy. At this point, she even felt that she was giving up. She even forgot that she had Harvey pretend to be her boyfriend.Harvey was pleased, however. Instead of using an excuse like having a boyfriend, she was willing to accept other conditions in exchange for her freedom. This was a sign that she was maturing."Tsk… Assets from Country A? The few mansions you bought on the West Coast?" Isis lit a cigare
Journi ignored Drake, who was threatening her, and simply stared at Isis. "Isis, we're all part of the elite society. In this community, there are rules for everything. If I'm willing, you can do whatever you want. If I'm willing, I hope you can show me some respect so we can all preserve our dignity."Slap!Isis suddenly stood up and slapped Journi's face. "You little witch! Do you think your dignity is worth anything here? Do you think I need to preserve my dignity? Are you stupid? Not even your father has the right to speak to me like this, and you most definitely don't."The sudden slap stunned Journi. Finally, she managed to compose herself, gritted her teeth, and said, "Isis, are you trying to fight me until the end?"Isis made a hand gesture when she heard that voice. Instantly, dozens of brutal mutants came near. Each of them looked at Journi with a cold expression."Until the end, you say?" sighed Isis as she shook her head. "Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. You
Harvey's expression was becoming even colder. He had a new understanding about the "Madman", the third Young Master of Wolsing. If he was willing to humiliate a woman like that, it meant that he was not of good character."Alright, Drake. I told you not to provoke my Journi. Why are you still threatening her? Aren't you just making things hard for me?" Isis retorted, and then she looked at Journi with heartache. "I'm so sorry, Journi. He's only doing this for our future. No matter what, I owe you an apology on his behalf. Please don't keep this against him. Come, clean your face a little."And then, Isis picked up the towel she had used before and threw it in front of Journi. Journi narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to commit. However, she managed to suppress everything in the end. She had to remind herself she had other objectives for appearing here today.Regardless, she had to see if she could succeed.Journi slowly stood up, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Isis. "Thank you."
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?
