“So you’re saying Faceless was the one behind the plane incident where someone was trying to kill Kairi with a C4…”“That’s right. He was probably involved with the ambush Kairi got in before, too.”“The Skeleton Gang were the ones taking action, but Faceless is definitely controlling them.”Kellan nodded.Many things seemed completely unrelated to each other…But after analyzing the situation, that was simply not the case.“Looks like it was right for me to come here,” Harvey said.Evermore took action as soon as he arrived.Either Harvey got extremely lucky, or Evermore’s luck finally ran out.“Alright. Enough of this.”Harvey tapped on Kellan’s shoulder.“Where are you going next? Let me take you there.”Kellan sat up straight.“I’m headed to the Regency Building,” he replied.Half an hour later, the car arrived in front of the place.This was one of Golden Sands’ important landmarks.The first four floors were a large shopping mall, followed by an office building up
Under Ronnie’s playful gaze, Westin’s eyes twitched frantically.He pretended not to see Ronnie, but the latter still showed up in front of him anyway.“What? Aren’t you going to apologize to your boss after embarrassing all the rich playboys here?!”“Did you forget how to give a proper greeting too?!”“Pretty cocky, I’d say!”Ronnie approached Westin and tapped the latter’s face.Westin, who was always acting all high and mighty, didn’t seem angry at all even though he was being thoroughly humiliated.Instead, he quickly stood up and started bowing.“I’m sorry, Boss! I didn’t see you!”Westin forced a smile, but it was clear that he was utterly terrified of Ronnie.It seemed he didn’t want to see Ronnie at all.“Oh? Has the young master of Deepsky Corporation become so cocky now?”“Were you pretending that you didn’t see me?”“Are you blind? Or are you looking down on me?”Ronnie pinched Westin’s face with a disdainful expression.“Come on! Smile for me!”The usually a
“Not bad! Not bad at all! We have such pretty ladies over here!”Ronnie immediately sized up Henley.“I have a whole box of 1982 Rieslings today, Ms. Johnson. Why don’t we have a good time tasting all that alcohol together?”“Right, I forgot to tell you. I don’t like people disrespecting me.”“If you say no, then you’re doing just that.”Ronnie then slid his hand on Henley’s thigh.“Oh! You’re so mean, Young Master Lee!”“I can’t drink that well! Two glasses are all I can manage…” Henley said shyly.After she was fired from her store, she had been throwing herself into everyone’s arms before becoming Westin’s girlfriend.That said, she didn’t feel despair at all; she seemed welcoming to the idea of leaving with Ronnie despite acting the other way.At her coy demeanor, Ronnie smiled from ear to ear.“She’s my girlfriend, Young Master Lee…”Westin quickly pushed Ronnie’s hand away.He didn’t like his girlfriend that much, but no man could stand being cucked.Besides, this w
“Harley, you…”Westin didn’t expect his own sister to jump ship as well. He was completely infuriated to the point where he was about to cough up blood. He couldn’t even say a single word.“Smart. Real smart…”Ronnie burst out laughing.“Not only is your sister real pretty, she’s smart too…”“How about this? You should come with me!”Harley’s eyes lit up.“Thank you for the opportunity! It’s my honor!”Naturally, Harley knew that Deepsky Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy. If she didn’t find someone to cling to soon enough, she’d have no way to enjoy the rest of her life in glory and riches anymore.After seeing the horrible look on Westin’s face, Ronnie burst out laughing and put his hands around the two women.“Come on! If you two make me happy, I’ll make you two my goddaughters!”“You two get a hundred and fifty thousand dollars every single month!”“Now, start calling me Daddy!”“Daddy…” Harley and Henley said shyly.Harley already knew just how powerful Ronni
Henley and Harley glanced over, then saw Harvey with a knife.“Harvey…”The two froze instantly.Westin recognized that face as well.He couldn’t accept the fact that he bumped into Harvey during the most humiliating moment of his life. He wanted to hit his head against a wall so badly.The two women who were about to leave tugged on Ronnie’s arms before pointing at Harvey and whispering quietly into his ears.Ronnie brought his people closer with playful looks on their faces.Westin was scared witless. He thought the crowd was after him again, and he quickly stumbled out of the place.He was completely infuriated, but he knew full well he was no match against Ronnie.He’d suffer a horrible death if he stayed any longer.Bam!Right as Harvey was preparing to cut his steak, Ronnie immediately kicked a chair straight at him.Harvey stepped back, evading the chair with ease.A loud bang could be heard as the chair slammed into the table.It was a complete mess. The entire me
Harvey didn’t even bat an eye at Ronnie.“Move!”“You b*stard!”Ronnie slammed the table, fuming.“You don’t know what’s best for you, huh?!”“Fine! I’ll let you know what happens when you go against me!”Ronnie waved his hand, sending many bodyguards against Harvey at once.“Hey, Ronnie! Who gave you the courage to go against Sir York?”Many burly, fierce-looking men showed up at the entrance.Kellan’s wrathful face could be seen at the very front.He was full of injuries, but his entire body was completely surrounded by radiant light.Harvey noticed that a few of his subordinates were martial art experts as well.Kellan had finished whatever business he had upstairs. He had received full support from the people backing him as well.“Sir York is my brother! Whoever goes against him, I’ll f*cking kill them!”Kellan showed his stance without hesitation, as if he was Harvey’s actual subordinate.Westin froze; he didn’t think Kellan would actually side with Harvey.“Heh, h
“You should just kneel right now, Harvey!”Harley couldn’t help but speak up, pride written all over her face.She wanted to see this live-in son-in-law in tears, begging for mercy.“Ronnie isn’t just any other man, Harvey! His identity and status aren’t something you can comprehend!”“Kellan can protect you for now, but he can’t protect you for the rest of your damn life!”Harley raised her beautiful face arrogantly.“If you don’t kneel right now, you’ll have hell to pay in the future!”“I suggest you do everything Ronnie says before he gets angry!”“If not, everything will be all too late for you!”Henley squinted at Harvey as she laughed coldly.“Young Master Lee isn’t someone you can go against, Harvey!”“Maybe you have a pretty good relationship with Kellan for him to call you his brother.”“Maybe you’re good enough to fight ten people yourself.”“But so what?”“Young Master Lee and the people behind him are way more powerful than you can ever imagine!”“Kneel alrea
Kellan had an odd look on his face; he didn’t know what to say.He realized that he had completely underestimated Harvey.Ronnie clearly was going to leave, but Harvey still stood up to disrespect him.Nobody knew if Harvey was just utterly ruthless or powerful enough to deal with a small fry like Ronnie.The other customers were completely shocked to see it.Naturally, none of them could believe someone would act this arrogant in front of Ronnie in a place like Golden Sands!“You ruined p my entire meal, dirtied my clothes, and ruined my mood,” Harvey said with a righteous look on his face.“And you think you can just walk away like this?”“For Kellan’s sake, I won’t argue with you.”“As long as you kneel and pay 1.5 million dollars, I’ll let it slide.”“If not, I’ll have you lying on the ground outside.”The entire crowd was shocked by what Harvey had said.They all stared at Harvey, filled with disbelief.‘He’s nuts!’‘He’s actually nuts!’‘When did a live-in son-in-l
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
