Kade tapped Harlem’s face before speaking up.“I’ll give you a chance…”“All the men, grovel and get out of here.”“All the women, stay.”Imani and the others were horrified; they knew they’d suffer soon enough.“You’re crossing the line!”“We’ll call the cops!”Harlem’s lackey gritted his teeth; groveling and leaving the women here would ruin his reputation completely. Before he could take out his phone, one of Kade’s men walked up and snapped his arm.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain could be heard, catching everyone’s attention.Under Kade’s command, the others walked and beat everyone from Country J to the ground.Kade stepped up, and raised Imani’s chin. He smiled.“Not bad. You look pretty good. I’ll have a good time with you…”Imani was panicking. She was from the entertainment industry, and she wasn’t an innocent lady. However, men who craved her would have to pursue her for a long time before they could get their hands on her. It was her first time seeing someone as a
Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Kade’s face without even looking at the latter.“Move!“You can do whatever you want with the others…“But I’ll kill you if you even lay a finger on my woman!”Harvey’s calm words sounded absolute. Everyone was dead silent; the bar seemed like it had frozen in place.Xynthia was a little shocked. Then, she smiled faintly. She was worried about Harvey’s safety, but she was also moved.It didn’t matter how impressive Harvey was; even when a so-called prominent figure like Harlem gave in, Harvey still stepped up for her. This alone was enough to show just how important she was to him.After all, he wasn’t just going up against a random gangster on the street—he was going against Kade Bolton! The young master of the Bolton family!In a place like Golden Sands, he was definitely one of the people with the most authority.Xynthia realized that she didn’t love the wrong man. Only a brother-in-law like Harvey deserved her love.“Did
“He’s Harvey York, Young Master Lee! He’s just a kept man—a live-in son-in-law!”“People like him wouldn’t have any strong background! He’s nothing!“He only got here because of his sister-in-law!“If not, he wouldn’t get to spend money here even after working for eight different lifetimes!“You need to deal with people like him immediately!”Harlem crawled beside Kade as if he was Kade’s lackey. His glare at Harvey was filled with resentment.On the one hand, he was afraid Harvey would get him killed by doing something so reckless.On the other hand, he hoped for Harvey to make a fool out of himself, since Harlem had completely embarrassed himself.If Harvey made a name for himself instead, Harlem’s reputation would be tarnished!“Harvey York!” he screamed.“Look closely!“Do you know who you’re going up against?!“He’s Mr. Bolton’s son—he’s from one of the Hermit Families!“You can’t afford to go against him!“If you don’t want to die, then start groveling already!“St
But even as she held Harvey’s hand, Xynthia was still a little scared.The first slap could be interpreted as him defending her…But the second one was different; he was outright challenging Kade.Not just him—any other prince or young master would be completely infuriated.‘Harvey’s done for!’‘He’s finished!’Kade rubbed the palm print on his face, and chuckled coldly.“You hit me again?”“What? Do you think you’re dreaming? Are you still asleep?” Harvey smiled calmly. “Let me wake you up, then.”He took a step forward, and swung the back of his palm furiously.Slap!The sound was a lot more crisp and clear; Kade stumbled back, blood oozing out of his mouth. There was a tooth mixed in the blood.The entire crowd was shocked.Nobody thought Harvey would slap Kade a third time, and make him lose a tooth at it!“Young Master Bolton! We don’t know this guy!”“Xynthia brought him!“He has nothing to do with us!”Harlem quickly came to his senses and crawled his way out, d
Seeing everyone’s attitude, Kade wasn’t in a rush to take action.He looked at Harvey mockingly, his eyes narrowed. He wanted to kill Harvey, but he also wanted to torture Harvey’s heart first.Harvey would feel true pain if his dear sister-in-law betrayed him as well.“I’ll let you go if you stay away from your brother-in-law.”Kade smiled faintly at Xynthia.“If not, I’ll take you out with him!“You’re young—you have all the time in the world to enjoy things!“With one word from me, you’ll be the entertainment industry’s brightest star!“And if you leave that man for me…“I won’t lay a single finger on you unless you want me to!“Well? Pretty good deal, huh?“I never blink when I kill, but I always keep my promises!“Make your pick!”Xynthia’s eyes lit up. She started to tremble.“I… I…”Harvey was a little curious. He looked at Xynthia.He knew how she’d usually react to situations, but he was interested to know how she would fare when faced with power.Xynthia’s
‘What did he just say to me?Kade Bolton guffawed after hearing Harvey’s words.‘What a joke!‘What the hell is going on today?!‘A live-in son-in-law without any background fearlessly slapped me before everyone, then asked me if I’m capable enough to kill him?!’His reputation in Golden Sands would be completely sullied if word were to spread.His family’s dignity would be gone in an instant.If Harvey did not die now, Kade would turn into the city’s biggest joke sooner or later.Without a second thought, he let out a horrifying laugh.‘This is bad!’‘He’s finished!’‘There’s no way to bury the hatchet now!’‘Not just Harvey, even the king wouldn’t be able to mediate the situation!’Harvey kept challenging Kade without any regard for his ability…Harlem Lee and the others were filled with despair after seeing the sight.Even they did not know how they were going to end up.“How boring. Anyone would call themselves young masters nowadays…”Harvey heaved a sigh before f
Harvey York let go of Xynthia Zimmer’s hand before leaning into her ear.“You should also leave with the others.”Xynthia froze before she furiously shook her head.“I won’t! I’ll die with you if I have to!“I can’t just leave!”“Go. I’ll be fine,” reassured Harvey.“Trust me. When have I ever lied to you?“Many people are watching. You won’t be able to do anything here. Those people also might just use you to threaten me.“Call Tyson Woods when you’re outside. Maybe he has friends here to save me.“Even if he doesn’t pick up, you can also call the cops.”Xynthia finally got through after hearing Harvey’s words.She would only be a burden if she stayed. She would be more useful if she were outside.Harvey glanced back at Kade Bolton after seeing Xynthia being reluctant.“At least keep the woman out if you want to come at me, Young Master Bolton,” he said playfully.“Release her, and you’ll be less embarrassed when I get your face all swollen.”Kade briefly froze before h
Harvey York smiled faintly.“I never kneel.“Of course, I would happily accept if you’re going to do that instead.“I’m a natural softie. I usually would go easy on the people who kneel before me.”Harvey finished his alcohol before casually dropping the cup to the ground.It was a complete mess.Harvey glanced at the sight before him, as if he wanted Kade Bolton to kneel there.‘This b*stard’s actually insane!’The beautiful women could not help but pout their lips with utter disdain.It was their first time seeing someone this capable of showing off.“Heh! Are you making yourself some ground to kneel on?“What do you think you’re doing?“You’re just asking for punishment at this point!Kade twirled the bottle in his hand with a faint smile when he calmly stepped forward.Loud cracks could be heard coming from under his leather soles.A menacing expression could clearly be seen on his face.“Harvey, right?“Since you’re being this bold, I’ll give you some respect.“T
