At this very moment, Mandy radiated a fierce aura.She was distant and unapproachable.Because of this, the men who wanted to get closer to her hesitated.“You’re here, Mandy!”Alma, who was dressed in a denim shirt and jeans, emerged from the bustling crowd with a smile.“You’re late again.”Mandy frowned, not bothering to look at her. “Why can’t we just talk at home? What’s the point of coming here?”After what had happened, Harvey’s departure annoyed her very much.After Xynthia returned, she managed to make Mandy see everything in a clear light. Mandy understood that to get Harvey back, she needed to make up for all the wrongs she had done to him.After realizing that she had misunderstood Harvey because Silas tried taking his credit so many times, Mandy no longer had a good impression of Silas.She stopped being friends with Silas immediately, and even canceled every single contract she had with him.Lilian explained to her that Silas did all this because he loved her
Mandy seemed a little gloomy after saying those words.Her greed drove her into getting more contracts and get closer to Silas, causing her to misunderstand Harvey even more.If that wasn’t the case, the two could’ve been remarried by now.Regret surged in Mandy’s heart.She was worried Harvey would have feelings for Kairi because of this. What was she going to do if that were to happen?“You still hate my brother?!”Alma looked bitter.“Not only did you cancel every single one of the contracts you had with him, but you also kept avoiding me whenever I invited you out! You’re clearly disrespecting me!“Do you hate me, too?!”Alma signaled the waiter to bring a cocktail that was prepared beforehand.Mandy hesitated for a moment when she looked at Alma’s sincere expression. “Trust me, I don’t think less of you because of your brother,” Mandy said, taking the cocktail.“You and your brother are two different people.“Let’s just end this here. Tell Young Master John that I do
At this very moment, a Maybach appeared quietly from the side.The window of the driver’s seat rolled down, revealing Silas’s handsome face.Alma said, “Looks like you’ll never be able to get Mandy on your side, Silas.“I don’t know what happened to her recently, but she probably won’t be in touch with you ever again.“There’s only one way you can use to make Harvey regret.“I heard he never touched his wife since they got married three years ago.“You should just send a video of you popping Mandy’s cherry. I’m sure that’ll be enough torture for him.”Alma pulled the door open, and pushed Mandy into the car. At that moment, Mandy lost all consciousness.Seeing Mandy’s sleepy look, Silas grinned. “Don’t you worry! I’m still pissed after everything that Harvey did to me!“Since my plan’s already failed…“I’ll have to crush his heart this way, no matter what!“I’ll take revenge for what happened on the cruise!”Silas’s expression was filled with nothing but malice and hate.
At the White Swan Hotel, inside the presidential suite.Mandy was paralyzed as she lay on the high-class bed.She still had some consciousness intact, but her body wasn’t in a state to resist at all. This was more painful than death itself.She knew exactly what was going to happen.Regret and fear came rushing to her mind at this very moment.She was on the verge of tears.She regretted trusting Alma and being so soft-hearted.At the same time, she hoped Harvey would come swooping in like her guardian angel. She swore to never leave his side again.Silas slowly leaned over, as if he could feel the change in Mandy’s emotions. However, he didn’t lay a finger on her just yet.“There’s no rush, Mandy,” he said, burping. It reeked of alcohol.“I’ll change you into a white gown and give you the biggest diamond ring. We’ll have our sweet time together after that! Be patient!”Silas burst out laughing, then walked into the changing room on the side. When he came out again, he was w
“Dream on, Silas!”Mandy gritted her teeth, her heart aching.“I’d rather die than marry you!“I’ll put you behind bars for this!“What? You’re going to sue me for this?”Silas smiled.“Since Uncle and Aunty like me so much, I’m sure they’ll try to convince you otherwise.“The Golden Sands Police Station is filled with people from the John family! You won’t get any strong evidence on your side when the time comes to it.“Another thing! You belong to the ninth branch. Can you bear to embarrass your entire family for this?“You have no choice but to acknowledge it, no matter what!“Besides, you think that I’d care if this escalates?“I’d only be sleeping with another wealthy woman who’s into me.“You, on the other hand, will be completely impure from then onward.”Silas approached her, breaking her last line of defense down with his words.“Are you telling me that you have a choice?“You don’t. Your best bet is to swallow everything, and pretend that this is all just a bad
“That was why I started investigating your parents.“I know that they’re into status and riches.“I investigated you, too.“I even used the John family’s influence to ruin the ninth branch’s businesses! I wanted you to be desperate enough, so that my arrival would catch your heart.“I tried taking all the credit, just so you’d do everything to stay with me.“A shame you don’t know how to cooperate with me at all. Even after everything, you’re still trying to get back together with Harvey!“At this point, you have nobody to blame but yourself!”Silas removed his final button, revealing a part of his upper body.“I’m forced to do this, you know.“Anyway, I’m pretty handsome. A lot of women want me.“We don’t know who’s losing out just yet!”Silas let out a crazed cackle.The flame in his heart burned brighter after revealing his past.He kept trying to take Harvey down, but he failed every single time.He wanted to vent all this hate on Mandy.“Have you thought of the cons
Bam!At this very moment, the front door was suddenly kicked down.The loud sound echoed throughout the entire room.“You have a death wish or something, Silas?”A calm yet unspeakably distant voice was heard.Silas John, who had been completely taken over by the pills, froze before instinctively looking toward the door.Mandy Zimmer looked over as well.Even though her vision was blurry, she could still see a figure standing in front.It was a tall and strong figure, yet extremely familiar…‘Harvey!’Tears started flowing down her face the moment she saw him.She did not think that he would come for her at such a crucial moment again.She did not know how he found out about the incident or her whereabouts…But she was instantly relieved.She knew that she was saved.“Harvey…” said Mandy while bursting into tears.Bam!Silas threw Mandy on the bed. His mind was completely foggy after being influenced. He could not recognize that Harvey York was standing right at the fr
Naturally, Silas John knew what was necessary. Since he was entirely outmatched, he had no intention of going up against Harvey York.It was already good enough if he could get himself out of the situation.That said, Harvey squinted without saying a single word.“Let me go, Harvey!“I’ll give you back the money I owe you. The money you blackmailed me for!Silas was utterly infuriated after seeing Harvey remain silent.“I promise that I won’t go for Mandy ever again!”Harvey taciturnly stepped forward while showing a cold glare.His gaze was filled with a chilly sensation, forming into murderous intent.He thoroughly despised heinous people who would commit despicable crimes and take advantage of the people at large.Not a hint of pity was showing from him at this moment.He knew that he caused this to happen because he kept Silas alive.If he did not deal with it then and there, the same would recur in the future.Harvey was not afraid of clowns like these, but he would a
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
