“What kind of hotshot do you think my mother could be friends with?“If I’m guessing correctly, the one who’s coming must be Aunt Witby.“She’s a local from Mordu. She isn’t that successful, but her ego shows the exact opposite. She’s cut from the same cloth as my mother!“If Mother gets her here, then…”Thinking of Mandy’s predicament, Harvey started to feel a headache.Everything else aside, Aunt Witby’s relationship with Lilian was enough to show how impressive she was.Harvey couldn’t help but shiver when he imagined the two bickering.He shouldn’t stay any longer. He’d suffer if he did.He decided to leave as soon as Mandy was done with her food.As for Ostrane One, he didn’t mind letting Lilian stay there.The place was already Mandy’s, anyway—it was her property. She had all the right to decide how she wanted to use it.Harvey was just about to slip out of the place after the meal.Just then, Mandy’s phone suddenly rang again.She quickly picked up the phone, and he
On the side of the corridor, many people were gathered together. Their eyes were red.They were all tall and strong; some of them had terrifying tattoos on them.They all looked at Maya and the others with fierce glares. Though they were dressed ordinarily, they looked like thugs to Maya and the others.Maya and the executives prayed that everything would go well in the emergency room. If not, the thugs would be enraged and make their lives a living hell.“What happened here? Why is the injured in the emergency room?”The sounds of clacking high heels could be heard. A fashionable woman with a Chanel bag walked over.Her long legs, covered in black stockings, were nothing short of alluring. Her beautiful face could topple entire civilizations.The woman was none other than Mandy herself.Harvey, who had remained discreet, followed closely behind.He frowned as he looked around him, then instinctively looked at his compass. He looked puzzled.Mandy’s appearance had grabbed eve
Mandy froze. “Talk? About what?”“Talk about what?” The man intentionally froze, then screamed to the crowd.“Listen to this! What’s this tone?“While working for the company, my dad got into an accident and was brought into the emergency room!“We’re here talking to her about compensation, but she’s acting all oblivious about it!“Are us workers just ants to you capitalists? Are our lives worth nothing to you?“Don’t we not get a chance to speak after hurting ourselves for your sake?“Aren’t you even going to talk to us? Are we not human to you?“We’ll call the cops on you for this! We’ll get the government involved, too!“We want your entire company bankrupt!”The patients and their families standing not far away glanced at Mandy and the rest, curious. Some people got an idea about the situation, and started gossiping up a storm.Someone even took out their phones to take pictures. After all, the big fuss would no doubt turn into big news.Harvey frowned at the people who
“That’s right! Mr. Lee is the pillar of our family! We all rely on him to survive!“You think you can just get away with thirty thousand dollars? What are you thinking?! “Let me tell you something! Mr. Lee’s in bad shape right now!“If he wasn’t hurt, he could’ve kept working for thirty more years! You think you can just get away with not compensating for that?”Mandy was speechless. It was her first time seeing someone this unreasonable.A higher-up couldn’t hold his anger back any longer, and yelled, “Mr. Lee’s sixty-three years old! Even with the country’s regulations, he can only work until he’s sixty-five. When that happens, he’ll retire! He can’t even work for thirty more years!”Slap!“Stop yapping!”The man took a step forward and slapped the higher-up to the ground.“Why does that matter to you?!“Who do you think you are? How dare you get involved?!“In any case, none of you get to leave unless we have a deal!”Click!Right as Harvey was about to step up, the li
The man froze; he narrowed his eyes as he sized up Harvey.“What? Are you trying to save the damsel in distress? Who are you? Tell me your name!” he exclaimed, cracking his neck threateningly. “Let me see if you have the right to get yourself involved!”“I’m Mandy’s husband,” Harvey replied.“Husband?”The man froze again, then revealed a profound expression.“I know now! You’re the legendary live-in son-in-law!“I heard you’ve never even touched your wife’s hand after being married for three years!“You might as well slam your head to the damn ground for being a man like that!“You’re giving me another chance? Do you have the right? Are you worthy?”The man spat on the ground.“Come on then, you filthy piece of crap! I’ll give you a chance, too! I’ll let you go if you lick this up clean!“If not, you’ll pay your price!“I want your wife to pay for my dad’s life!”The man waved his hand, and his scoundrel-liked family members walked forward.There were some women among th
Mandy was worried. If she knew that all this was going to happen, she wouldn’t have brought Harvey with her.Without a second thought, she quickly ran and held Harvey’s hand.“Forget it, Harvey. Lift him up and apologize to him. We’ll just pay a little more, is all.”The man chuckled wretchedly.“Money isn’t enough, pretty lady!“I heard you have a sister as well! The conditions are different now!“I want you and your sister to sleep with me for a month! If not…”Crack!Harvey instantly snapped the man’s wrist by stepping on it.A loud crack resounded; the man rolled on the ground, wailing like a dying pig.The horrifying sight turned the entire place dead silent.Nobody expected Harvey to be so reckless.The incident turned into an assault almost instantly.Harvey would have to live his life behind bars if he wasn’t careful.Mandy and the Zimmer Enterprise would probably have to pay a great price just to deal with the situation.Simply put, the entire situation was made
Before Harvey could say anything, the man had already fanned the flames.“He did this, Inspector Braff!“I was just asking for a reasonable compensation for my dad’s death!“It’s already bad enough that he’s not paying! He even slapped me and broke my hand!“He said that the city belongs to him!“You need to help us ordinary citizens, Inspector Braff!“We’re relying on you!“You’re our living legend, after all!”After hearing the man’s distorted truth, Inspector Braff’s face darkened. He squinted at Harvey.“Are you a gangster, kid? You’re pretty cocky, aren’t you?“How dare you assault and harm this man! You’d have to be locked behind bars for at least three years with any of these charges!“You’re in the hospital right now! Your sentence will surely increase because of this!“That said, I’ll make sure to speak up for you if you stop this instant.”Inspector Braff pulled out a pair of silver handcuffs, and threw it right in front of Harvey.The man and his family grinned
Inspector Braff frowned, then waved his hand. Another inspector jogged to check the surveillance footage soon after.After a moment, he returned with a horrible expression and whispered something into Inspector Braff’s ear.Inspector Braff pondered the situation before sighing.“I really want to believe you, kid…“But it’s a shame. The footage didn’t do anything to help.“You don’t have proof.“I’m sorry, but you’ll have to come with us!”Mandy’s expression changed after hearing those words.“Inspector Braff! I can prove what Harvey said was true!“Not only did Mr. Lee ask for fifteen million dollars worth of compensation, he even demanded me to sleep with him for a night…”Mandy’s face was bright red, but she still explained the situation for Harvey’s sake.“Harvey stood up for me. You should forgive him.”Inspector Braff froze, then sighed again.“I’d really like to believe you.“But even if what you’re saying is true… Him saying that to you during a loved one’s death c
The security guards at the entrance finally reacted to what was happening. They started to call for reinforcements when they saw Yvonne's sportscar was stopped.The range rovers' doors were kicked open, and dozens of men and women clad in traditional Country H's garbs got out. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with a deep scar on his face. It was obvious he had survived a terrible battle against death once.He ignored all the security guards and quickly approached Harvey and Yvonne."Stop them!" Yvonne called out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Who are you? What do you want?"The security guards from Sky Corporation quickly ran over. Dozens of people had started to gather around Harvey. In terms of numbers, they were finally able at an equal level.In truth, anyone from the other side should be able to easily defeat the bodyguards from Sky Corporation. Harvey, who knew this very clearly, also opened the door and walked to Yvonne's side. He looked at th
After Harvey was done with the Ninth Branch and sent Mandy home, he left. Mandy had shown him that she cared, but there were a lot of problems between them. They didn't even have to look for it—Lilian's existence alone was a constant thorn in their eyes. Unless Lilian chose to stop being a problem, Harvey had no interest in becoming the Zimmer family's son-in-law again. After leaving the Zimmer family, Harvey wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, he went to Sky Corporation's HQ. He was surprised to see that the light in the CEO's office was still lit.Harvey arrived at the door and saw a beautiful woman still working quietly at the desk. He had just wanted to go in before hearing Yvonne's voice. It sounded like she was on a call. "Investigate it. We have to investigate this no matter what! Even if he's not going to ask about it right now, we still have to do it. What will happen if Mr. York wants to blame someone?"After that, Yvonne hung up."What happened?" Harvey asked as h
Durandal raised his eyebrow when he heard Harvey's provocation. He was quite shocked that Harvey was able to see through everything with such ease, but he didn't show much of it. He simply said coldly, "No one can order me around. I simply didn't like you. So? Go on! Kill me if you're really as powerful as you make it sound."Harvey sighed. "I'm trying to talk some sense into you, but you refuse to listen to reason. I never said I wanted your life. All I want is your hand. Since you refused to choose the option I'm giving you, I suppose I'm going to take what's mine."Harvey took a step forward, grabbed Durandal's right hand, and then twisted it.Snap!There was a snap, and Durandal's right arm was twisted into an irregular shape. Durandal suppressed the pain inside of him, but he was also quite shocked. He never expected that, despite being a superior martial artist, he would be completely useless when facing Harvey. The moment Harvey attacked, forget resisting—he didn't even
Durandal and his men's faces changed when they saw how calm Harvey was. They looked at Harvey with shock. It was obvious they didn't realize that Harvey had already made all sorts of preparations. He was ready to set them up all along—all he needed was for them to be in position.Meanwhile, Mandy and the rest of the Ninth Branch's senior members looked enlightened. They finally realized why Harvey was so confident. He had already found out the Boxing Champion's weakness!Meanwhile, the young fighter was also very prideful. Once he knew his opponent's weakness, he would do everything he could to become victorious.In short, this was not just a mere match. Before both sides began fighting, both sides had already planned and executed their strategies.Durandal's eyes narrowed. He didn't continue to verbally defend himself, and simply glared at Harvey. "I didn't expect that you've got quite the brain…"Harvey smiled. "I love it when others underestimate me. Because, that way, I can
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
