As Chiba Nobita passed out, Harvey York threw his cup away and regulated his energy before fully returning to normal.He looked as if he did not even take a sip of alcohol then.He walked toward Chiba while he was seemingly tipsy, then lifted Chiba’s head as he poured alcohol right into Chiba’s mouth.He had no intention to go easy on someone like Chiba.After another bottle, Chiba fell flat onto the ground as he occasionally twitched around.Xynthia Zimmer was utterly speechless.The dozen people were all put down by Harvey single-handedly!This was just terrifying!“That was awesome, Harvey!Xynthia pounced and wrapped her arms around Harvey before touching his forehead.“Are you okay?“Are you drunk?”“I’m fine. I’m perfectly sober.Harvey smiled.“Go outside first. See if you can get a cab here.“I’ll head out after washing my face.“Let’s not walk together for now. The security might get suspicious.”Harvey was worried that he would cause more trouble.Xynthia qu
Prince Gibson was just an arrogant, rich playboy, but he was not stupid.Quill Gibson did not need to remind him that Harvey York’s status had completely changed. He knew he could not afford to go against Harvey.If he kept causing trouble, his father would probably break every one of his limbs.After a restless night, he stumbled to the Fortune Hall after hearing that Shay Gibson was coming to clean up the place.His goal was simple: he wanted Harvey’s forgiveness while also repairing their relationship, maybe even using the opportunity to cling to him.Harvey could obviously tell what he was planning then.“Shay’s here to mop the floors, Prince. Why are you even here?Harvey felt utterly speechless.“This is a small place. It’s not suitable for you.”“Don’t say that, Sir York,” replied Prince in horror while holding onto his crutch.“I was stupid before. I took advantage of people while committing heinous crimes…“But after you taught me a lesson, I’ve been reflecting! Now
‘Didn’t I get Kellan Ruiz to take care of the family?‘What’s going on here?’Harvey York froze.“What happened?”“Chiba Nobita and the others probably did this!Xynthia Zimmer seemed extremely worried.“I told Father and Mother not to go out, but they wouldn’t listen!“Gabriel Lee and his wife got completely beaten up after being covered in sacks early in the morning! Both of them were sent to the hospital after that!“Father and Mother wanted to visit them, but a pickup truck rammed into them as soon as they got out! They almost died because of it!“Mandy almost got kidnapped when she headed out! Thank goodness a few bystanders went and helped her!“A dozen people in masks poured gasoline all around the house!“But before they could light up the fire, security caught them in time…“Things would’ve gone incredibly wrong if that didn’t happen…“Chiba even told Ensley Johnson to call me, saying I must warm the bed for him tomorrow night!“If not, he’ll destroy the entire f
“Chiba Nobita’s visa only allows him to stay for seven days! He’ll have to return after that!“When that happens, everything will pass!“You’ll be safe too!”Xynthia Zimmer was constantly thinking for Harvey York, hoping he would be fine.But Lilian Yates’ screaming could be heard as soon as Xynthia was done talking.“You’re still talking to that ungrateful b*stard?!“He almost killed us! He did this!“How dare he call back here?!“Is he trying to seduce you?!“Tell him to kill himself!“B*stard!“He’s shameless!”Lilian grabbed the phone and screamed at it for a while before hanging up.Harvey helplessly chuckled. He knew that Lilian was completely embarrassed by what happened to Silas John.He had not even met Mandy Zimmer since then.He wanted to head back as soon as Lilian cooled down, but he had no choice but to postpone it again.Harvey squinted at the entrance. It was safe to say Chiba was completely reckless at this point.“What’s the matter, Uncle Harvey?Pri
Prince Gibson was excited after hearing Harvey York was giving him a chance.“Don’t you worry, Uncle Harvey!“I’ll take my men to talk to Chiba Nobita right now!“He’ll have to respect me for sure!”Then, Prince walked out of the place soon after. To show his dominance, he also called Shay Gibson to accompany him.Harvey could not be bothered with him.Rich playboys had ways to talk with each other. All he needed to do was sit back and watch.Voom voom voom!Harvey’s phone vibrated at this moment. It was the Braff family.It had already been three days since Harvey told the family to burn the drawing of the carp, but they hoped for him to visit since they were still quite worried.Harvey arrived at the Braff family’s ancestral house at eight o'clock at night.After watching Eliel Braff burn the remainder of the portrait and seeing the gloom replaced by high spirits, Harvey finally heaved a sigh.The Braff family was destined to go through one more hurdle, but their conditio
“In my eyes, you’re not that much different from those two.”Eliel Braff rephrased his words, emphasizing his praise toward Harvey York.He sized up Harvey, wondering if he should bring his dear granddaughter back from her studies in America.After all, the family had a spot for a live-in son-in-law.Harvey showed a faint smile.“Thank you for looking up to me like that, Mr. Braff.”Eliel could tell he did not want to be compared to Emery Wright, so he tactfully changed the subject.“What are your thoughts about the future, Sir York?”Harvey froze. He had a mighty legacy as the Chief Instructor. Nobody else could compare to such feats.After pondering momentarily, he replied, “I want to live an ordinary life with my wife. I want to have a boy and a girl with her and watch them grow up.”Eliel froze before he burst out laughing.“You’re not going to make a career out of your talents? Why not contribute to your country?“It’d be a waste, don’t you think?”Harvey let out a ch
Harvey York frowned. ‘Is this how the higher-ups think of me?‘Gavin Bauer asked me to become the Chief Instructor of the nine biggest military forces as a test?“To my knowledge, the Chief Instructor doesn’t have that ambition.“If he did, he would’ve sat on the throne during his peak.”Eliel Braff smiled.“Who knows?“We shouldn’t judge a book by its cover…“Maybe he doesn’t have that kind of ambition.“But the higher-ups would probably think otherwise.”Harvey’s eyes twitched when he chugged his tea.He realized that he was being too naive.People have changed.The country would probably follow that change.He would not let that happen.***In the middle of the night, Harvey left the Braff family’s ancestral house.He looked toward the north with mixed emotions. He realized he had to go to Wolsing after dealing with Evermore.He did not want to go, but he probably had no choice.This was probably his life.After heaving a sigh, Harvey rubbed his temples before r
Mandy Zimmer frowned the moment she stood up.“Who are you people? Who said that you can come in?” she coldly exclaimed.“You need to pay for the damages, you know.Ensley Johnson waved her hand while completely ignoring Mandy.The bodyguards and Ronins quickly spread out.They stood in front of the entrances and exits before kicking the doors down.The entire house was a mess, but nobody else was around.Mandy was utterly enraged after seeing the sight.“What do you want?!“Do you know that you destroyed an ancient porcelain vase and kiln?!“Those things are priceless!“Who gave you the right to do such a thing?!”“You’re Mandy, right?”Ensley squinted with her long and narrow eyes. A cold expression was obviously showing on her face.“Call Harvey York! Tell him to come!” she exclaimed.“Right now!”Mandy’s expression instantly turned dark.“Who are you to him?“What do you want him for?!”Ensley showed a disdainful glare as she sized up Mandy.“That’s none of your
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
"If you're sober, bend your knee to the ladies and apologize, or I'll kill you!" Harvey snarled.The long-haired man was arrogant, but it was obvious for all that Harvey was even more so. All the spectators were shocked. It was the first time they saw someone acting so arrogant.The long-haired man finally realized what had happened; he held his face and yelled, "You idiot! How dare you touch me?"Harvey gave him another slap. "So what if I do? Can't I afford to? Do you want me to hit you a dozen times?"The long-haired young man didn't expect Harvey to make a move despite the current circumstances, and was completely stunned. He held his completely swollen face and screamed, "How dare you touch me! Kill him! I want him ground to dust!"Clang!Just as the men and women wanted to stand and attack Harvey, Durandal put down the teacup in his hand with a clang. He waved his right hand and said, "All of you… Are you blind? Can't you see that this is Ms. Mandy Zimmer, the leader of t
"150 million isn't enough?""1.5 billion?"Everyone gasped the moment they heard what Harvey had to say. At the same time, many people turned and looked at him at the same time. Aside from shock and disbelief, they looked like they were looking at a fool.Everyone could see that Durandal had already completely decimated this underground fighting pit. The Ninth Branch had lost hundreds of millions of dollars by now. No matter how sharp Maya's tongue was, it couldn't hide the fact that they had lost a lot of money.So when Harvey took the initiative and said something like that, many simply thought it was for their pride. Everyone knew that at this time, one should surrender and not scream in defiance. The men and women around Durandal all stared at Harvey. They didn't feel scared or excited, simply scornful.Mandy wanted to say something, but after hearing Harvey, she decided to keep silent and let him take control of everything. She believed that he could help her."Madam! Sir
Maya looked horrified. She was the one organizing things for the Ninth Branch. This fighter was already the most powerful the Ninth Branch had, but she didn't expect him to act like a complete newbie.As for Durandal, he picked up his teacup and sipped it. His phone screen was showing a game. It was obvious the fight in front of him had already been decided…and he was bored. A mobile game was even a better time killer than this.In some way, this was truly a way of showing how high and mighty he was.Meanwhile, a woman wearing a coat next to Durandal looked at the fight with scorn. It was obvious that the fight in front of her wasn't that interesting.After exchanging blows, the fighter from the Ninth Branch had completely lost his advantage. The Boxing Champion spun and broke his right arm in one strike.Crack!Before he could even scream, the Boxing King swooped right in front of him, then grabbed his head before punching him with all his might.Pfft…Blood immediately came o
"It was clear that this so-called champion had won countless matches. Otherwise, the spectators wouldn't be so excited when they saw him. Some of the women roared and screamed as if they were on cloud nine. The air was full of passion and excitement, as if this champion could really defeat everyone under the sun.Mandy frowned as she looked at the scene, and said slowly, "That's the elite fighter Durandal brought here. From the way he fought, he was indeed someone who had been fighting in underground fighting rings like ours for a long time. He calls himself the Boxing Champion, and has already won five bouts today. He has won at least 75 million dollars from us.""I see… He's a money printer…" Harvey looked at him and nodded. "From the surface, he's a peak King of Arms. If he let himself go, I believe he might be able to fight against those close to True Warrior."Mandy nodded before continuing, "He's just one of the elites Durandal brought with him. Other than him, there's the K
The VIP seats opposite Maya had a group of men and women chatting loudly in plain clothing. All of them looked arrogant, and the way they looked down on others seemed second nature to them. A bald man was in the center of it all. He was wearing a simple white jacket and a pair of outdated cloth shoes. When he sat there, he looked like he was shifting between a state of awareness or sleep."This is the man leading the challengers. All of them called him Mr. Parker." Mandy's eyes immediately fell on this bald man as she explained. It was obvious that while she wasn't here all the time, she knew a lot about the underground boxing gym.Harvey then asked calmly, "He's so easily identifiable. You really can't find anything about him at all?""Nothing. But to him, money is nothing but a number," Mandy sighed. "He didn't look anything unique, but from the limited edition Richard Mille watch he's wearing? That watch is called a 'Billionaire's Watch'. Just that alone is proof enough of how
"Even if they're really from another world, they wouldn't be anyone ordinary. They're dressed simply, but we could tell they're no ordinary people. They looked at all the other guests like they were ants, as if they stood on top of the world. Speaking of which, the one who led them was someone with the last name Parker…"At this point, Mandy found it difficult to continue the conversation. Not only did she lose so much money, but she wasn't even sure who she lost to. It was a total humiliation!"Parker… Not ordinary people… Looking down on everyone…" Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from Parkerville?"A few days ago, Harvey had just humiliated Clarion. In the days that followed, Clarion seemed to have completely disappeared. It didn't fit his modus operandi. Harvey started to suspect that the Parkers of Parkerville were behind this.Most importantly, they could anger him through Mandy. It seemed not everyone from Parkerville was brainless. At the very least, they were quite goo
Mandy kept mum.Harvey sighed. "Fine. Let's not talk about closing the underground boxing ring. Explain to me what has been going on lately. Just how much have you lost?"Mandy took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat opposite Harvey. She picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp before saying with a sigh, "Because of what happened with the real estate earlier, the Ninth Branch can't simply open up new markets in a short time. We're bleeding money every day. "I realized the Ninth Branch can be supported by just the underground boxing ring. Unfortunately, even our profit from the ring is falling. One of our shareholders gave us the idea to allow guests to bring their own fighters rather than simply betting on fighters. That way, it becomes a competition between the host and the guest."A few days ago, a group of guests came with eight elites and wanted to bet with the underground boxing ring. They said they'll be betting 7 million dollars a match. I didn't want to agr
