“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
“No! Don’t kill him, Harvey!Mandy Zimmer was distraught when she saw the bloody sight.“He’s just a scumbag. He deserves to die!“But you can’t stoop down to his level!“He should be spending the rest of his life behind bars!”Mandy mustered her strength to get up to stop Harvey York, but she was just too weak. She immediately passed out after her gaze turned dark.Silas passed out after getting another slap from Harvey and then made a call. Kellan Ruiz and the others showed up soon after to take Silas and his people away.Harvey dragged his thumb across his neck when Kellan showed a wretched smile on his face. Kellan naturally understood what to do then.What Silas did completely crossed Harvey’s line. He was about to be sent to the afterlife.That said, there was no need to do it in front of Mandy. Harvey felt relieved giving Kellan the task instead.After that, Harvey started checking Mandy’s pulse.Mandy was fine, but she consumed something in her alcohol that affected
Nobody expected Harvey York would dare hit Lilian Yates.Even she could not help but freeze up. She had always been boasting about her strength because Harvey usually would never do anything to her.She would not dare run her mouth in public against any other person who could fight as well as Harvey.After freezing up for a moment, Lilian showed a threatening look, prepared to beat the living hell out of Harvey.Simon Zimmer quickly held her back, preventing her from getting any closer.He could clearly sense Harvey exuding murderous intent after hearing Silas’ name.Harvey was in a horrible mood at this moment.“I wasn’t going to bother with you anymore, and yet you dare mention Silas’ name?“If it weren’t for your greed, Mandy wouldn’t have ended up like this!”“What are you saying, you b*stard?! Are you saying that Young Master John did this to her?! You’re obviously lying through your teeth?! Where’s Young Master John then?! You’re the only one here!“How dare you slander
Naturally, Lilian Yates wanted to disrespect Harvey York in public.“Don’t worry, Mother!“There are a lot of witnesses here! Harvey won’t get away with this!Gabriel Lee was excited.“He’ll be dead once this gets sent to the police!”Xynthia Zimmer showed a bitter expression.“You need to trust Harvey! He’s not that kind of person!”“Heh heh heh! Trust him?!“What do you know?!“He’s just a shameless man infatuated by beauty and riches!“He’s completely inferior compared to Young Master John!“I saw through him already!“People like him should be sent straight to jail!“That’ll teach him a lesson for sure!“I’m going to trample his pride in front of everyone right now!”Lilian pressed the play button with an excited look.But the next moment, the entire family trembled as if lightning struck them.They saw that the person doing heinous things was none other than the son-in-law Lilian looked up to, Silas John.The person who saved Mandy was Harvey!How shameful!Lil
“No problem!“Do you need me to send a few men for you?”“Of course I do. How are people supposed to know I’m your kept man if you don’t?”Harvey hung up the phone with a profound look.Vroom!Half an hour later, a few dozen Toyota Alphards showed up with blaring horns. It was a dominant sight.Under the dim lights, almost a few hundred people came forward.These people were wearing black suits embroidered with golden threads. They held steel bats and watermelon knives with fierce looks, as if they were prominent underworld figures.That said, none of them did anything. They all orderly spread out, completely blocking every single entrance and exit of the alley.As Harvey sipped his tea, a few more Toyota Alphards drove over.Soon after, a few people walked out.A middle-aged man with golden-rimmed glasses in a trenchcoat was leading the group. He bore a lot of resemblance to Silas John.Clearly, the man was the one whom Kairi Patel mentioned, Colson John.A few beautiful
The beautiful women showed faint smiles when they looked at Harvey York, thinking he was too arrogant.Harvey glanced at the man.‘He’s either out of touch or just plain stupid.’“Don’t be reckless, Sasaki…“We’re civilized people!“We need to speak reason before anything else.Colson waved his hand to stop Sasaki Tairo before showing a faint smile.“You’re right. I’m Young Master Colson, Colson John.Harvey showed a profound smile without saying a word.“I heard of what happened in the White Swan Hotel,” said Colson casually.“It doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong.“After all, you live in the society yourself. You should know that the strong prey on the weak. There is no reason. There is no right or wrong…“I came for only one reason!“Hand me my brother, and I promise to keep your body intact when you die.“You should be satisfied with the conditions, no?”Harvey showed a faint smile.“I should be thanking you then.”“Of course you should.“After you die, I’ll ask
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
After hearing what Harvey had to say, everyone exchanged glances. Lune and Sol were very experienced, and they quickly zoomed into the video recording and started to check the details. After carefully scanning it, everyone noticed Neve's action was extremely mechanical, and her eyes were completely blank. Even her actions activating the Rainstorm Needles were extremely puppetlike.When Neve saw this, she was shocked. "How can I fall under someone else's control like this? I'm trained in Servitas' school of martial arts, and it demands extremely high mental mastery. How can I fall into someone's control so easily? Not to mention that one doesn't have to use the Six-Paths Fragrance to control me, right? But most importantly… I've never fallen for someone's mind control until Harvey appeared… Could it be that it's you who are controlling me?" Neve immediately turned to look at Harvey, looking vigilant.Harvey rolled his eyes. "What's the point of me doing that?""So you can get my gran
"Stop! Everyone, stop!" When Lune and Sol saw what was happening, they were stunned and stopped right before Harvey. They knew Geoffrey's condition, so they were very sure that it was Geoffrey's inner demon going wild just now."Drop all your Rainstorm Needles right now! We can decide everything once Mr. Geoffrey is awake!" Lune ordered the men and quickly checked the mobile that was already set up nearby, wanting to see what was happening."Are you stupid, Lune? Didn't you see that my grandpa is almost dead because of him? Sol, stop them right now! Do it! Kill Harvey! Kill whoever dares to stop you!" Neve screamed, on the verge of a breakdown.The dozens of security guards exchanged glances and hesitated and did not dare move when they saw how chaotic it was in the study."We'll see who's behind this right now!" Lune had already grabbed the phone, and he immediately projected what the phone had recorded onto the wide-screen TV in the study.Soon, they all saw how Neve appeared at
Harvey instinctively kicked Geoffrey's chair when he narrowed his eyes, looking at what was happening. There was a bang, and the chair fell to the ground. The silver needles from the Rainstorm Needles flew past where the two of them were just moments ago, striking the big desk.Instantly, a big hole appeared on the desk, and corrosive liquid flowed out. It was terrifying. However, Neve blankly raised her right hand. Just as Harvey was about to make his move, Geoffrey appeared right before Neve and grabbed her right hand tightly, his expression brutal."How dare you… I have raised you for twenty years! And now, you want to kill me? Time to die!" As Geoffrey said that, he moved Neve's arm and aimed the Rainstorm Needles in her sleeve right on her own forehead.Harvey blinked, and he instantly knew what was happening.Because of Neve's assault, the inner demon within Geoffrey clawed its way out. Geoffrey had already lost control. Meanwhile, Neve started to regain some clarity from the
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
