Along with a loud bang, Harvey York was seen walking inside.“Don’t you know that you’ll get beaten up if you say those things to a woman with a husband?” he coldly exclaimed.“Don’t, Harvey…”Mandy Zimmer froze before she spoke.She was afraid Harvey would hurt her savior.Harvey saw Mandy’s worried expression before glancing back at Silas John.“Since Mandy’s still in one piece, I’ll let you off the hook.“There will be no next time.”“Do you think so?”Silas was not intimidated by Harvey’s threats at all. He believed that Harvey would not dare to lash out in a place like this.“You’ve been acting pretty cocky on the cruise, right?!” whispered Silas after sizing up Harvey.“You’re not coming at me when I was just about to go at your wife?!“What? You’re scared she’ll start pitying me before she finally falls in love?“Don’t worry!“I’ll make sure of that!“Not only will I sleep with your damn wife, I’ll get her to do it willingly!“When that happens, I’ll make you und
Creak!At this very moment, the door was pushed aside.Simon Zimmer, Lilian Yates, and Alma John showed up together.Maya Lee was behind them with two bags in her hands.The moment she saw Harvey, she instantly showed an awkward look.Alma came to her senses first when she saw the chaos.“What are you doing, Harvey?!” she furiously exclaimed, rushing forward before lifting Silas John.“My brother’s just here to visit Mandy! How dare you hit him like this?!“Even if you’re jealous, this is no ground for you to do this!“You and Mandy are divorced!“Even if you’re still the live-in son-in-law, you have no right to get jealous!“If you’re that impressive, why didn’t you save Mandy then? I didn’t see you beating up Anthony like this!”Lilian frowned.“What are you trying to do here, Harvey?!” she coldly exclaimed.“I told you! Unless you make Mandy the head of the Jean family, I won’t agree to the remarriage!“You’re already kicked out of the house! What right do you have to
“I won’t blame you since Mandy’s still in one piece, Harvey…“But you better not push it!“You’d do anything out of jealousy!”A righteous look was showing on Lilian Yates’ face.“No matter how capable you are, do you think you’re actually better than Young Master John?“Apologize to him right now, and we’ll consider it done!“If not, don’t even show up in front of my face ever again!”“We’re giving you enough respect! You better know what’s good for yourself!” exclaimed Simon Zimmer coldly.Harvey could not be bothered to respond to the couple.“Do you also trust that this useless filth can actually save you?” asked Harvey York while looking at Mandy Zimmer.“Do you really?”Mandy hesitated. Her logic told her it would be child’s play for Harvey to save her…But all the proof was already there. At this point, it would be hard for him to try stealing the credit.Harvey knew that Mandy was also fooled by Silas after seeing the look on her face.“Get in here, Maya!”Maya L
Maya Lee’s face had completely lost all color as she kept retreating. She finally bumped into a wall when she gritted her teeth, speechless.“I don’t blame you for this.“You suffered a lot for Mandy that night. You were completely beaten up. You also almost got taken away by mistake.“That’s why I forgive you.“That said, Mandy and I don’t owe you anything anymore.“I believe the John family has given you enough.”Harvey York was not angry, nor was he insulting Maya, but every single word cut into her heart like razors. Silas John quickly gave Alma John a look after seeing Maya was on the verge of collapse.“Stop trying to warp the truth, Harvey!” she exclaimed after stepping forward.“Maya was involved in the situation! My brother’s the one who saved Mandy! She said so!“You can’t protect Mandy, but my brother does!”Lilian Yates let out a cold chuckle.“I can finally see your true colors, Harvey!“You wish everything turned out your way!“I thought you were at least c
Harvey chuckled.“You’d rather trust an outsider than me?”“Trust you? How am I supposed to do that?” Mandy sneered.She shot Harvey a glare of daggers.“The picture’s right in front of me!”“My secretary even told me the truth!”“How do you want me to trust you?”“Harvey York…”“I trusted you too much!”Before Harvey could say anything, a series of knocks on the door took his attention.Several grim-looking inspectors entered.Everyone instinctively turned to look.The inspector in the lead had two badges pinned on his shoulder.“Hello,” he said. “We’re from the Golden Sands Police Station. Here are our credentials.”Lilian stared at them with narrowed eyes, quick to realize they were just a bunch of nobodies.“Is there something wrong?” she asked.“We’ve already talked about Anthony last night, haven’t we?”“That’s right! We told you everything we know,” Simon exclaimed.“What’s the matter?”The inspector gazed coldly at them. “This is a different matter.”“Anth
Alma froze.“Marlon’s dead?” she asked in a trembling voice. “Ronnie and his father, too?”The inspector smiled.“That’s right.”“We suspect that the person who heavily injured Anthony is also involved in these incidents.”“Don’t worry, we won’t accuse anyone without solid proof.”“Though we’re requesting you to cooperate with the investigation, it doesn’t mean you’re guilty of anything.Silas squinted at the inspector. “Have you really figured out who the murderer was?”He was certain the police shouldn’t be going against him in the first place.After all, based on Anthony’s testimony, it should’ve been clear that Silas wasn’t involved.He couldn’t figure out who had so much power to make the police forget about all the evidence and shift all blame toward him.‘Is Harvey really powerful enough to clear the accusations on him?’‘Is that why I’m being blamed when I’m trying to take his credit?’The thought came to Silas’s mind, but he immediately squashed it a second later.
The inspector looked at Alma’s pretty face and hesitated.“According to Anthony’s testimony, the person who gave him a concussion is the same person who took out his brother.”“And because Anthony’s nerves are injured, he’s completely blind.“That said, he’s still fine.”“In any case, we have all the evidence we need.”“Judging from the jaw’s sentences, Silas will most likely be executed by gunshot.”“My condolences. You should prepare for the worse.”The inspector sighed.The hero went to save a damsel in distress, yet this was the outcome. How miserable!‘Anthony’s blind?!’‘The person who gave him a concussion was also the one who killed Marlon?!’‘There’s enough evidence!’‘My brother will be executed!’Alma was beside herself with shock.‘We’re finished…!’‘We’re done for!’‘Who knew stealing Harvey’s credit would turn out like this?!’“Come, men!” the inspector said. Take him away!”The inspector waved his hand, signaling for the others to handcuff Silas, who wa
After seeing Harvey leave, Silas and Alma stumbled their way out of the room.At this point, their pride was completely tarnished.They were here to take credit, but they had no choice but to give it away again.No matter how shameless Silas was, he couldn’t bear to stay.Mandy sat blankly on the bed with a face filled with regret.She regretted not trusting Harvey completely.At the same time, she was afraid that Harvey actually killed someone for her sake.Even though Harvey was escorted out of the room politely, they were still the police.“You need to get it together, Mandy!”“You got saved by that savage once, but you’re already this grateful?”Lilian felt annoyed after seeing her daughter in low spirits.“A live-in son-in-law like him has no right to make you like this!”“If it were up to me, you should be thinking of ways to be married into a wealthy family by now!”“That way, you wouldn’t be suffering in the Jean family.”“Look at the ninth branch! Other than gett
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
One hour later, Harvey once again appeared at the VIP seats. Durandal and the others had been waiting for them. When they saw Harvey appear, they grinned. "One hour is over, pretty boy. Can we start the battle now? Looking at how confident you are, maybe you should consider fighting yourself. If you're willing, I can tell the Boxing Champion to just use one arm."It was obvious that not only did Durandal want to use this chance to test Harvey's power, but he also wanted to get him killed.Harvey smiled. "There's no need for overwhelming firepower. Even your father couldn't make me fight him, let alone your underling."Durandal's eyes turned incredibly cold when he heard that. Just as the atmosphere in the VIP seats was becoming fired up, the atmosphere around the ring was also becoming more tense.They hadn't even fought yet, but both sides were already staring down at each other apprehensively. It would be quite intense once the fight really began.Very quickly, Durandal took a
Harvey ignored all of them, but simply looked at all the fighters. In the end, Harvey's eyes fell on a young man of about eighteen years old. It was obvious he had just come of age, and he had trained his body well. From his physique, Harvey could tell that his martial arts abilities were quite good too.Harvey could tell immediately that the young man probably had an extraordinary upbringing to have such power at such an age. He might be a core student who came out from a Sacred Training Ground to train.Most importantly, the other fighters either looked at Harvey warily or in envy. Only he looked at Harvey peacefully, as if everyone in this world were ordinary people.Harvey gave Maya a look, and Maya quickly introduced him. "Sir, this is a servant that a member of the Ninth Branch picked up from under the bridge. He's mute, but he's extremely loyal. When we realized he has great talent in martial arts, we decided to turn him into a fighter."Harvey narrowed his eyes. What kind
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
