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
“That said, we managed to treat her injuries for the time being. We’ll have to wait till tomorrow to figure out when the patient will wake up again.“She’ll be warded in the hospital for further observation. I’ll arrange the best room and nurses for her.“Don’t be too worried.”Naturally, Maren Failes was doing this for Harvey York’s sake.If not, ordinary people would not be taking the best rooms. After all, there would be a lot of patients every single day.Simon Zimmer and the others kept bowing after hearing those words.“Thank you! Thank you, Director Failes!”Harvey glanced at Maren.“You’re too kind, Director Failes. If you need Senior Armstrong’s help, just give me a call.”Mandy Zimmer could only rest in the hospital since she was heavily injured externally.Afraid of bothering her sleep, Harvey idly chatted with Xynthia Zimmer briefly before leaving the place.Other than arranging people to protect Mandy, he also had some scores to settle.Later, Xynthia followed
Harvey York returned to Fortune Hall after leaving the hospital.He briefly thought about the situation before sending Prince Gibson a text.The Newgate Chamber of Commerce was not enough to protect the Zimmer family anymore. Instead, the Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate had to take action.He believed that with expert martial artists, the family would not get into further trouble.At the same time, his phone vibrated before a surge of texts popped up. They were from Prince.The texts pointed out Chiba Nobita’s background and the people he met upon arriving in Country H.Harvey showed a profound gaze when he saw the list of names.The lights were dimmed out in his study when he stood crossed arms before the window, blankly staring in Wolsing’s direction.At three o’clock in the morning, Harvey’s ears twitched when he heard the sounds of car engines while cooking himself a snack. Judging from the sound, it was probably a pickup truck.Harvey’s eyes twitched before he insti
“The enemy’s got some good moves. Then again, the person who found such a scapegoat must be a local here.“Did we find out who had met with the driver?”Kellan Ruiz thought about the situation for a moment.“I found footage showing someone pushing the drunk into the truck.“The drunk was completely blindfolded. The license plate was covered as well.“He had golden threads on his suit. The person in the passenger’s seat also seemed like an Islander…”Harvey clapped his hands.“The John family. Interesting.“The fact that Chiba Nobita got someone from the John family to do it seems a lot more interesting…”Harvey seemed indifferent. It was clear that Chiba and the others were the culprits.After all, only they would use such a desperate move.The rich and powerful from Country H would always go against each other, but at least they had dignity.It was Harvey’s first time seeing someone attempting murder with gasoline.He did not expect that the John family would be involved
Even without Ramon Lee saying anything, the people on the couches stood up before glaring gloomily at Prince Gibson.The bodyguards showed murderous intent, ready to take action at any moment.Prince’s men spread out before glaring back. With one wrong word, both sides would break out into a fight.Prince completely ignored the people around him as he casually strutted toward Chiba.“Chiba Nobita!” he exclaimed coldly.“You should be giving me a fair statement, don’t you think?!”Chiba showed a shocked expression while pinching his cigar.“Well!“I was wondering who the idiot is!“I didn’t think that it was Prince Gibson in the flesh!“I heard that your leg got broken while you were gone!“Aren’t you mopping the floors of the person who also did that to you?“You’re Prince!“The renowned young master of the Gibson family! How did you end up like this?“Just beg for help if you think that you have no power to take revenge for yourself! I’ll definitely lend you a hand! How
“My grandfather is also a member of the Heaven’s Gate! He’s an outer elder at that!“Do you think a mere head of Golden Sands’ branch can suppress him?“What a joke!”Chiba Nobita was filled with utter disdain and disgust.“You have no right to act all impressive before me!“Let alone threaten me.“I agreed to bury the hatchet with Harvey York to make him put his guard down so I can kill him!“I didn’t think that you’d actually believe me!“You’d also be at fault for killing him!”Chiba chuckled while he blew out another puff of smoke.His smile was filled with utter gloom.Prince Gibson’s expression worsened when Chiba looked like he did not care about the situation.No matter how impressive the young masters and princes of the Hermit Families were, they were no match for the Island Nations’ royal family.After all, they were like night and day!Prince’s face darkened. Harvey York did put his guard down because of him.It was good that he was unharmed. Prince would have
“I’m in front of you now! Why won’t you hit me?“Even then, do you know what you’re getting yourself into if you do?“Can you handle it?”Chiba Nobita showed a playful expression.It was as if he could toy with Prince Gibson however he wanted.Bam!The door was kicked open once again.Soon, a person walked in before a cold voice was heard.“Do you think I need geomancy to see if I can take you out?“I’ll do it myself in just minutes!”The unspeakably dignified tone would make anyone kneel without intending to fight back.Soon after, another person walked in.Harvey York was standing in front, with Shay Gibson behind him.It seemed like Shay was Harvey’s maid at that moment.The entire place froze after seeing Harvey’s face.After thinking of his fierce words, everyone could not help but stay silent.“How dare you show up before us again, kid?!“You’re pretty bold!Chiba took a huff of his cigar when smolders started to fly.“You just had to get yourself in trouble!
The sight made Chiba Nobita and the others squint.No matter how much of a filth Prince Gibson was, he was still the direct descendant of the Gibson family, the well-renowned prince of Golden Sands!People like that would be completely fearless!And yet, when Prince was facing Harvey York, he was extremely polite. From a certain perspective, this was enough to prove just how extraordinary Harvey was.That said, Chiba had already got someone to dig some information about him.In his eyes, Harvey was just a kept man, a live-in son-in-law, a conman, and a geomancy expert.He did not think that a man like that was anything special.He completely looked down on Prince. So what if Harvey had a little talent?At that moment, Chiba believed that Harvey was entirely outmatched.Prince completely ignored Chiba.“Why are you here, Uncle York?”In his eyes, Harvey was his senior.He had no right to be on the same level as Harvey.Harvey seemed quite personable, but Prince would be sla
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
