“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
The person who had the badge was none other than the live-in son-in-law…Not only was it a shocking discovery, but it also put everyone in disbelief.Harvey York did not seem like he would do anything significant to the family initially.That said, Kade Bolton would not dare lash out any longer.He took a deep breath before showing a stern expression.“Who are you?!”“Why don’t you ask your father that?Harvey seemed indifferent when he wiped his hand with some wet wipes.“Your grandmother got to live longer because of me.“Your father avoided an assassination because of me.“Who do you think I am, then?”Kade’s expression changed instantly.He was a playboy indulging in his debaucher and a usually arrogant and dominant man…But this did not mean he lacked affection toward his family. Rather, he valued his family immensely.He knew exactly what had happened to the family.At this very moment, he froze as his eyes were frantically twitching.“You’re Master York?!”Kade’
Kade Bolton was making a twisted expression.He was enraged. He was filled with disbelief.He was arrogant but understood that his father was an extremely prominent figure in Golden Sands.Since Harvey York spoke in such a dignified tone when he talked to Azrael Bolton that way, it was enough to prove just how powerful he was.Kade instinctively shuddered. He felt utterly speechless, thinking he got into deep trouble.His group of companions trembled in fear. Their legs were getting limp to the point where they were about to kneel.“Is that so…Azrael froze before replying with an apologetic tone.“If you can, I’d like to talk to that person.“If he’s actually the useless filth from the family, then I’ll make sure to give you a statement you’ll be happy with.”Azrael’s tone was filled with rage and murderous intent.“Of course.Harvey smiled before hooking his finger before Kade.“Mr. Bolton’s looking for you.“Are you coming here on your own? Or do you want me to go ther
The security guards at the entrance finally reacted to what was happening. They started to call for reinforcements when they saw Yvonne's sportscar was stopped.The range rovers' doors were kicked open, and dozens of men and women clad in traditional Country H's garbs got out. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with a deep scar on his face. It was obvious he had survived a terrible battle against death once.He ignored all the security guards and quickly approached Harvey and Yvonne."Stop them!" Yvonne called out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Who are you? What do you want?"The security guards from Sky Corporation quickly ran over. Dozens of people had started to gather around Harvey. In terms of numbers, they were finally able at an equal level.In truth, anyone from the other side should be able to easily defeat the bodyguards from Sky Corporation. Harvey, who knew this very clearly, also opened the door and walked to Yvonne's side. He looked at th
After Harvey was done with the Ninth Branch and sent Mandy home, he left. Mandy had shown him that she cared, but there were a lot of problems between them. They didn't even have to look for it—Lilian's existence alone was a constant thorn in their eyes. Unless Lilian chose to stop being a problem, Harvey had no interest in becoming the Zimmer family's son-in-law again. After leaving the Zimmer family, Harvey wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, he went to Sky Corporation's HQ. He was surprised to see that the light in the CEO's office was still lit.Harvey arrived at the door and saw a beautiful woman still working quietly at the desk. He had just wanted to go in before hearing Yvonne's voice. It sounded like she was on a call. "Investigate it. We have to investigate this no matter what! Even if he's not going to ask about it right now, we still have to do it. What will happen if Mr. York wants to blame someone?"After that, Yvonne hung up."What happened?" Harvey asked as h
Durandal raised his eyebrow when he heard Harvey's provocation. He was quite shocked that Harvey was able to see through everything with such ease, but he didn't show much of it. He simply said coldly, "No one can order me around. I simply didn't like you. So? Go on! Kill me if you're really as powerful as you make it sound."Harvey sighed. "I'm trying to talk some sense into you, but you refuse to listen to reason. I never said I wanted your life. All I want is your hand. Since you refused to choose the option I'm giving you, I suppose I'm going to take what's mine."Harvey took a step forward, grabbed Durandal's right hand, and then twisted it.Snap!There was a snap, and Durandal's right arm was twisted into an irregular shape. Durandal suppressed the pain inside of him, but he was also quite shocked. He never expected that, despite being a superior martial artist, he would be completely useless when facing Harvey. The moment Harvey attacked, forget resisting—he didn't even
Durandal and his men's faces changed when they saw how calm Harvey was. They looked at Harvey with shock. It was obvious they didn't realize that Harvey had already made all sorts of preparations. He was ready to set them up all along—all he needed was for them to be in position.Meanwhile, Mandy and the rest of the Ninth Branch's senior members looked enlightened. They finally realized why Harvey was so confident. He had already found out the Boxing Champion's weakness!Meanwhile, the young fighter was also very prideful. Once he knew his opponent's weakness, he would do everything he could to become victorious.In short, this was not just a mere match. Before both sides began fighting, both sides had already planned and executed their strategies.Durandal's eyes narrowed. He didn't continue to verbally defend himself, and simply glared at Harvey. "I didn't expect that you've got quite the brain…"Harvey smiled. "I love it when others underestimate me. Because, that way, I can
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
