Alma John saw the figure on the ground before she was filled with disbelief.The person was none other than Colson John himself!The usually high and mighty young master, a truly prominent and invincible figure who would only lower his head before Blaine John, looked no different than a dead dog!“What happened to you, Colson?Alma instinctively stepped forward after getting such a huge shock, wanting to lift Colson off the ground.“You’re the second young master of the John family! You represent the family’s glory!“You can’t just kneel like this!“What happened here?!Colson did not say a word when he showed a vengeful look, wanting to strangle her to death so badly.If it was not for Alma and Silas John conspiring to take advantage of a woman…Silas would not have been missing by now.Colson would not have suffered such humiliation.If he could choose again, he would definitely stay away from Silas’ business.“Why are you here, Harvey?!“Why are you sitting in my broth
Slap!Before Alma John was done speaking, she was instantly slapped in the face again. Her plastic face was immediately disfigured and completely swollen.She covered her face and stumbled to the ground with resentment.“I’m not your brother, Colson, but we’re still blood-related!“I also belong to the John family too!“How can you just watch me get beaten up by some live-in son-in-law?!“He’s doing this for no reason!Alma could not believe how someone dared to act this arrogant before her.“The John family can never be humiliated like this!“You taught me this since I was a child!“Did you forget about it already?!”Colson John’s eyes twitched along with the muscles on his face, but he would not dare mutter a single word.He had already lost his dignity kneeling in front of Harvey York the night before.Where would he get his courage to go against Harvey?“No reason?Harvey showed a playful smirk.“You invited Mandy and drugged her for your own heinous goals!“She tr
“You’re only going against me because of the Jean family!“You’re nothing once they oust you from the family!”In Alma John’s mind, Harvey York’s courage came from the Jean family.If not, he would not have dared to challenge the John family.After all, the only people who could go against the top ten families were other members of the top ten families.Harvey smiled faintly with a playful gaze.He did not intend to explain himself to such a heinous and pompous woman.“I’ll tell you, Harvey! Mandy wanted it herself!“She and Silas love each other with a burning passion!“It’s useless for an ex-live-in son-in-law like you to be jealous!Alma regained her arrogance when she fiercely spoke up.“When Mandy gets a lesson to learn right from wrong, everything will pass!“She’ll forgive me!“She’ll come to thank me even!“And how dare you hit her good friend and go against the John family with the Jean family’s strength?!“You’re finished! You’ll end up horribly soon enough!“
Alma John did not think her presumptions were wrong.Rather, she believed that she saw through the truth.In her eyes, Harvey York was nothing.As for what she did to Mandy Zimmer, she knew that Mandy could not do anything about the situation anyway after it was already set in stone.‘What is she going to do? Change the past?‘Impossible!Alma proudly called Mandy in front of Harvey again.Only another busy tone was heard. In the end, nobody answered.She even sent texts over, but she did not get any replies at all.A red exclamation mark could be seen on the chat log as well.At that moment, Alma finally came to her senses!She was blocked!The good friend who had been listening to her beck and call blocked her!‘How dare she?!‘She has no right!Alma was enraged.She snapped out of it before furiously glaring at Harvey.“I know now!” she exclaimed, gritting her teeth.“It’s you!“You twisted the truth and kept fanning the flames to Mandy! That was why she blocked m
Harvey York did not mind much about Colson John.He was not planning to kill off Colson.After all, Alma John and Silas John were both from the John family.There would definitely be a massive uproar after two members of the family died.Blaine John, who had been extremely cautious, would probably not take any action for the time being.That was why Harvey needed someone like Colson.He believed Colson would deal with the situation neatly, even just to save his skin.That was why he left without stirring a ruckus.Harvey could not be bothered about Colson’s resentful and vengeful emotions either.Rather, those feelings were his driving forces.Maybe he would even fight to the death against Blaine because of this.Harvey felt quite thrilled after thinking about it.It mattered not whether Colson was from Evermore or not.He only cared about how Blaine would eventually handle the situation.Of course, Kairi Patel was trailing behind him as well.Harvey had nothing to worry
After seeing the massive rivets pushing the door open, Harvey York could not help but feel impressed. As expected, the less wealthy were still richer than poor families.It was already quite discreet for the Braff family to call the ancestral house that.This place must have been the royal palace, after all.That said, the house was only one-tenth of Wolsing’s Forbidden City.That said, the Braff family stayed here because of their immense authority and the Wright family’s admiration.It was only natural. The Braff family’s ancient dynasty was the country’s very last. The Braided Dynasty belonged to the people who invaded the country after that, so it didn’t count as an official dynasty for the country itself.Under such a strong background, it was only normal for the Braff family to stay here.Soon, the car was parked in front of an exquisite courtyard.The place was quite spacious. Bright red walls and floor tiles were also seen all over the place. No renovation would be need
Watson Braff looked at Harvey York, hoping he would pay Eliel Braff respect.Harvey showed a smile before stepping forward.“Mr. Watson…”Before Harvey was done speaking, Eliel indifferently glared at him.“Your geomancy arts isn’t as good as I thought, kid…”Harvey froze.“Me?”He was impressed by Eliel. After all, that was the exact truth.He was well-versed in the art of killing and not geomancy arts.Watson jumped in shock.“You can’t say that, Father! Harvey’s geomancy arts is best in the city…”“You do everything indecisively. You get scared of every tiny detail. You care about showing off, yet you’re afraid of causing trouble for yourself after that…“You don’t even know how to gauge your enemies’ luck. You can’t even tell if you can afford to go against the people you challenge or not…“And yet you tell me that you’re a geomancy expert?Eliel showed a dignified look when he casually glanced at Harvey.“So, what right does a person like you even have to help the f
“No matter how impressive Colson is, he’s still just the second young master!“In the younger generation of the John family, Blaine is the only one who holds weight.Harvey York had no intention of hiding anything.“Not only is he a direct descendant of the family, he’s an extremely talented person with exceptional martial arts.“More importantly, I suspect he’s the most important figure of Golden Sands related to Evermore.“It’s a little troubling to deal with him because of that.“I let go of Colson and show him my cards for one reason.“I wanted him to know that there aren’t many people in the younger generation who could go against someone like Blaine.“But I’m definitely one of them!“If Colson wants to rise to power, he’ll surely provide me with enough information!“As soon as he calms down, he’ll understand I’m the best person to suppress Blaine.Harvey smiled faintly.“From this perspective, not only would Colson not betray me, but he’d also do everything in his pow
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
