Not only was Ronnie slapped in the face, he was also slapped to the ground.Henley and the others were completely shocked to see it.Henley couldn’t help but slap herself in the face to make sure she wasn’t dreaming.Harley was filled with disbelief.She couldn’t believe the fact that every time she challenged Harvey, thinking she’d be able to get the upper hand, he’d bite her in the back.Her high and mighty attitude would never accept that.She wanted Harvey to feel fear. Thus, she wanted to cling to Ronnie. She wanted Harvey to beg for mercy, and not be in such high spirits.“How dare you, Harvey?!”Ronnie stumbled off the ground.“Do you think I’m scared of you?!”“Do you think I’m an easy target for you to push around?!”“I’m warning you…”Slap!Harvey slapped Ronnie in the face once again.“Warning me what?”Ronnie was in a daze after being slapped around for so long.“What do you want?”“Kneel and apologize!”Harvey swung his palm forward.“Then pay up!”“Are
Ignoring authority and background…Ronnie was sure he could take out ten Harveys.‘Without Wes, Harvey’s dead for sure!’“Don’t get too cocky, Harvey!”“I’ll definitely kill you when I get the chance!”Ronnie stood up before speaking up in a voice only he and Harvey could hear.“I’ll kill every single person you hold dear as well!”“I’ll burn all of your ancestors to the ground!”“I’ll settle scores with you sooner or later!”“Is that so?”Harvey chuckled calmly before kicking Ronnie down in front of everyone.Wes and the others were completely speechless to see it.‘Does this guy really have a death wish? Why would he still threaten Harvey now?’Harvey smiled.“I’ll wait for you.”“But remember…”“I kept you alive for Mr. Pagan and Kellan’s sake.”“Next time, it’ll be a different story.”Ronnie glared at Harvey with a wretched look.He swallowed his anger before stumbling his way out of the place.Henley and Harley’s beautiful faces were filled with resentment and
When Kellan left, Harvey approached Wes with a smile.“Thank you for showing up tonight.”“Without you, I would’ve been in a little trouble.”Wes burst out laughing.“You’re too kind, Sir York.”“It’s only natural for me to help when you’ve already saved my life.”“Besides, you wouldn’t be in any sort of trouble even without my help anyway.”“I’m only putting the icing on the cake at this point.”Naturally, Wes knew Harvey was a discreet man.It’d be embarrassing for Harvey if he wasn’t able to deal with the mess on his own.Arlet walked toward Harvey, then leaned into his ear.“You should be thanking me instead, Harvey!”“I was the one who took the shots! You would’ve been gunned down by Ronnie’s men if it wasn’t for me!”Harvey chuckled.“Sure. Thanks for that.”“How about this? I’ll give you a month off. Come back to work after that.”“You!”Arlet was speechless.“You stingy man!”“I saved your life, yet you still won’t cancel the damn bet?! I’ve never seen such a
Arlet popped out from the side before speaking up.“You should look at me too, Harvey!”She quickly leaned towards him.Harvey nodded with a smile, then studied Arlet.“That’s strange. Your luck isn’t supposed to be that good…” he said with a frown.“Other than your luck in fortune, you’ve been having good luck in terms of romance as well.”“Did you meet a man you like recently?”Arlet froze.“No. I haven’t seen anyone, but…”Arlet’s face went bright red, and she stopped herself.Harvey couldn’t be bothered to expose her after seeing her looking so nervous.He took another look at Arlet before frowning again. A hint of dead air was hanging on her as well.It looked completely identical to the one on Wes.“Is something wrong, Sir York?” Wes instinctively asked after seeing the look on Harvey’s face.Harvey smiled.“It’s not that big of a deal. That said, it’s still better to take precautions.”Harvey then drew something for Arlet and told her to keep it safe.Arlet was
The moment Wes and Arlet showed up, the arrogance on the man’s face dissipated quite a bit.“Come, come. Let me introduce you.”“This is Lachlan Bree, Arlet’s martial arts senior.”“He comes from one of the mysterious sacred martial arts training grounds. He’s an outstanding man from the younger generation of martial artists!”Wes passionately introduced Lachlan to Harvey.Arlet giggled upon hearing those words.“My senior’s pretty impressive, Harvey!”“He can break a few bricks at once with a single chop!”Lachlan smiled faintly, looking at Arlet like he was gazing at his private property.It was clear he had feelings for his junior.Wes, on the other hand, had no idea what the young’uns were thinking at all.“Young Master Bree, this is Harvey York. He’s well-versed in terms of geomancy arts.”“You can ask him to help if you get in trouble. You might just be surprised.”Harvey nodded at Lachlan to show his sincerity.Lachlan’s gaze turned a little colder when he saw Harv
Wes’s attitude clearly showed that Harvey was way more important than Lachlan.Lachlan looked at Wes, holding back his pride and not saying a word.Even so, he still scoffed coldly at Harvey.“We’ll take care of everything here. Don’t do anything stupid, and listen to our orders!”“With us here, not just Mr. Pagan and Arlet, but you’ll be fine as well.”“So just keep yourself hidden!”“We won’t take responsibility if anything happens to you!”Harvey smiled calmly as he looked at Lachlan’s prideful expression.“I won’t do anything as long as Mr. Pagan and Arlet are safe.”A disdainful look appeared on Lachlan’s face.The two beautiful women behind her were filled with nothing but disgust as well.‘Who does he think he is?’‘It’s already bad enough that he’s scamming people for a living, but he’s even getting involved in the underworld!’‘That’s just insane!’‘He’ll probably burst into tears the minute he sees blood…’After a few minutes, the car in the private garage drov
“It’s been a while, Mr. Pagan! You’re still as lively as ever!”The woman in a jacket stood up with a rippling smile after seeing Wes and the others show up.That said, her expression seemed quite distant.Harvey carefully sized her up, and then realized she was a killer pretty high up on the leaderboard.If not, her murderous intent wouldn’t be that apparent.Wes’s expression changed instantly after seeing the woman’s face.“Ah! Phantom!” he said after chuckling coldly.“I was wondering who dared to steal my family’s goods before coming to negotiate with me…”“I finally understand after seeing your face here.”Wes then sat casually on a couch.“That said, I’m afraid you’ll have to repay me for this, no matter who’s supporting you behind the scenes.”“Repay you?”Phantom smiled gently.“What kind of statement would you prefer?”“Do you want my life? Or do you want my money instead?”“I can tell you the people in charge of moving your antiques are all dead.”“The antique
The air was completely tense. A fight was about to break out at any moment…Phantom chuckled at that. “It’s useless talking more if things get sour. It’s inappropriate to start a fight without having a nice little chat now, isn’t it?”“Besides, there’s no such thing as eternal enemies—only eternal benefits.”“I believe that when you see my sincerity, you’ll understand that I didn’t come here to cause you trouble. I’m here to bring you money.”Phantom then made a gesture.A few of her subordinates set a box in front of Wes.The Pagan family glared coldly at them. Someone stepped forward to check the contents inside the box.“They’re the stolen antiques, Mr. Pagan.”Wes showed an odd expression, then signaled his subordinates to move the box.“Is this what you call sincerity? Giving back the things that you stole?” Wes said while squinting at Phantom.“Of course not. This is just the appetizer.”Phantom smiled faintly, and snapped her fingers.Another box was sent over soon
