“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
“I’m calling the cops! You’ll be thrown behind bars!”Mandy Zimmer pulled out her phone, planning to make a call.“Heh! You’re doing that in front of me?!“You really want to suffer, don’t you?!”Ensley Johnson coldly chuckled before pointing at Mandy.“Come! Teach her a lesson! Let her know who she’s talking to!”Along with Ensley’s order, two Islander women grabbed Mandy’s hands before someone else snatched the phone from her hand.“What are you doing?!”Mandy kept struggling, but she was not strong enough to go against the group of people.Her head and hands were held completely still.She was pressed onto the couch, stopping her from moving a single inch.In their eyes, Mandy was just a prisoner.She had no chance to break free.The women were clearly expert martial artists. Mandy was simply powerless against them.She could only grit her teeth as she coldly exclaimed, “You people are barbaric!“This is Country H, this is a lawful country!“You’ll pay for all this!”
“No need to hold back. Continue.”The Islanders excitedly beat up Mandy Zimmer after hearing Ensley Johnson’s order.After all, without status, women would be looked down on by statusless men of the same level.They suffered a lot to get to this point. Now that they could show off, they unhesitatingly took the chance.Mandy’s hands and head were held still. She had no means to fight back. She had no choice but to watch as the women slapped her around without pause.Mandy’s entire body was trembling in pain. Judging from her attitude, she was completely infuriated but would never give in.She would never bow down to those people.Bam!Before long, Mandy’s consciousness started to fade. Mandy’s whole body swayed before she slammed to the ground.***It was already noon when Harvey York quickly came to the People’s Hospital.He saw Lilian Yates, Simon Zimmer, and Xynthia Zimmer panicking like cats on hot bricks.The lights of the emergency room had been on the entire time. It
Lilian Yates suddenly realized that Mandy Zimmer was still being rescued in the emergency room after hearing Simon Zimmer’s words. It would be bad if the commotion affected Mandy’s treatment.Without a second thought, she swallowed her rage and disdainfully glared at Harvey York.Obviously, she would have strangled Harvey to death if it were not for the wrong occasion.“How’s Mandy?”Harvey could not be bothered to entertain Lilian since he knew how she would act. Besides, he was also partly responsible for what had happened.“We only reached here, but the security said that Mandy’s face and stomach were covered in bruises. Her hands were also cuffed behind her back.”Rage was written all over Simon’s face.“My daughter’s the head of the ninth branch! Aren’t those people afraid of us taking revenge?!”Simon’s expression had a mix of anger and worry. A sense of resentment and powerlessness could also be felt from him.Lilian felt utterly dejected. She looked down on Harvey, but
Blade took a deep breath. He remembered his own duty and stood in front of Clarion, shielding him. Then, he said with a cold expression on his face, "Madam, Mr. Zeon, my apologies. However, as I'm currently the Assistant Hallmaster and Clarion is my superior, it's my duty to protect him. May I ask how he offended the two of you to the point that he pressed the red button?"Blade put on the face of someone who was only doing his job. He was loyal to his duties.Clarion's expression changed. He did not realize that Blade was a Jackson. However, since Blade chose duty over his personal ties, it was enough to calm Clarion down.Whoosh!At the moment when everything was at a standstill, Zeon suddenly stepped forward and appeared right before the crowd. He immediately slapped Blade's face.Slap!He slapped Blade so hard and loud that Blade stumbled backward as he was not on his guard and almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Clarion reacted quickly and helped Blade up. Otherwise, Blade wo
"I'll give you one last chance to answer me. If you refuse, it won't be my fault for not showing you any mercy." Camellia's pretty face became colder as she stared at Clarion before waving her right hand.After what she did, she saw all the security from Platinum Casino stepped forward, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.Clarion smiled. "Looks like not only have you captured him, it doesn't sound like you're going to release him at all. Looks like I mean nothing to you madam!"Camellia sat down back on the sofa as she folded her legs once more. She raised her chin as she looked at Clarion, coldly saying, "You're right. You mean nothing to me. What? Are you going to go mad? Do it, then! Show it to me! I'm curious to see just what our Young Master Clarion Parker can do to make a scene!"Clarion took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Don't blame me for this, then!"After that, Clarion's right hand pulled out a small red button and pressed it.Vroom!As soon as he di
"All your casino shares?" Camellia stroked her chin as she gave Clarion a meaningful smile. "If I remember, they all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the interest you gain annually is also quite substantial. Without that, your worth as the heir of Parkerville will drop significantly."Looks like Hale probably saved your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have paid such a price for a garbage like him," Camellia's eyes were judgmental when she said those words. She stared at Clarion curiously, wanting to see something from his actions and expressions.Unfortunately, Clarion maintained his cool and indifference."Madam, it'll take a long time to talk about the relationship between us. Hence, there's no need for me to explain everything here. All I want to ask is, will you accept this trade?"Camellia once again walked over to Clarion's side and bent closer, whispering in his ears. "Of course I'm willing, since you're offering me so much. Unfortunately, since I don't have Hale
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
