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
‘The car broke the sword from the Island Nations?!The blade was built from the highest-grade materials owned by the military.Money alone could not buy such things. People who owned these were naturally prominent figures with extraordinary identities.That said, all these only gave the right for Colson John to be slightly surprised.Harvey York faintly smiled at him. His gaze was profoundly stern and calm when he remained silent.“I know that you’re quite capable, Harvey…”Colson took a huff of his cigar.“I know you also have a pretty good relationship with Kairi Patel.“That said, do you really think you have the right to go against the John family just because of that?“Kairi’s just a woman. Do you think one can make the Patel family stand with you?“Ultimately, you’re just a live-in son-in-law who got kicked out by the Jean family’s ninth branch.“You have no right to fight us.“If I want to, I can make you die a horrible death just by moving a finger.”Colson showed
Harvey York smiled.“You should just kneel instead. It’ll save a lot of work.Harvey glanced at the watch on his wrist.“Since you’re the second eldest young master, I’ll give you two minutes to consider.“If you don’t, I’ll make you do it myself!”Colson John let out a sigh before showing a smile back.Sasaki could not help but step forward with a cold chuckle.“This can’t do, Young Master Colson. This kid’s just too good at showing off!“I’ve been in the city for so long, yet this is the first time I’ve seen someone like this!“I want him!Sasaki pointed his broken sword at Harvey’s nose.“I don’t have that much patience, kid!“I’ll give you one minute!“Bring Silas!“If you don’t, I’ll kill off every single friend and family you have in front of you before ending your life!”Along with Sasaki’s movement, the people in golden thread suits swarmed out.The beautiful women lit their thin, long cigars before blowing out puffs of smoke, thinking that Harvey was just bluff
Compared to Colson John’s extraordinary aura, Harvey York seemed like a poor sob.Harvey squinted before showing a faint smile.“So, are you saying you’ll take advantage of me?”“That’s right! Can you do anything about that?!” replied Colson with a stern expression.The beautiful women blew out puffs of smoke before bursting out in laughter.‘He’s still pretending now?!’‘What’s the damn point?!’Sasaki Tairo strutted forward with his broken sword.“You fool!“You’re still not going to kneel?!“You’re still not bringing Silas out?!“Do you want me to lash out or what?!”The people in golden threads chuckled wretchedly.Bam!At this moment, the sounds of engines could be heard from both sides of the alley, completely shaking up the silent night.Almost everyone was attracted by the loud sound.Colson and the others instinctively looked over with a cold expression.He wanted to see who was causing him trouble at that moment.His eyes frantically twitched when he saw the
“Who the hell are you, Harvey?!Colson was not an idiot. His extraordinary capabilities were enough to show that.After all, only the most talented could climb the ranks of the John family.As the top man inferior only to Blaine John, ordinary people could not imagine Colson’s either.He knew that there must have been some information he had gathered wrong.“I’ve never heard of such a prominent figure like you in the city before,” he said after taking a deep breath.Naturally, he was a pretty experienced man as well.But it was unbelievable for him to hear of such a well-known man in the city.More importantly, he could see Cliff Saban, Kellan Ruiz, Luca Robbins, and the others standing in the crowd.Those people would usually greet him politely.And yet, he seemed invisible to them at that moment. They were all politely standing beside Harvey as well.He had no choice but to reassess Harvey.“No matter the case, Golden Sands is still an ancient city.“There are thousands
"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
