“The royal court is a boat going against the current! You have no choice but to move forward!“Since Big Boss already intends for you to rise, the people looking to steal that position wouldn’t just sit and wait for your reply!“Besides, you might not lose even if you decide to fight in Wolsing.“But if you don’t go, it wouldn’t be hard for those people to cause trouble here, judging from the forces there.”Eliel Braff froze before he showed a look of realization.He was a prominent figure in the royal court. He understood that fact himself.He was just oblivious since he was involved in the current situation.After taking a deep breath, Eliel showed a prominent gaze while looking at Harvey York.“Are you confident in my success there?”Harvey glanced at the clear purple aura lingering on Eliel’s forehead before smiling faintly.“Your position will be stable.“The Braff family will be listed as one of the top ten families.“You’ll be a huge success in Wolsing.“I’ll also h
“Let me introduce you, Harvey York!“This is my good friend of the top ten families, Brayan Foster, the head of his family!“And this is his daughter, Amora Foster…”Naturally, Watson Braff had been doing business abroad before discovering Eliel Braff’s situation. He simply had no time to look into the things that had been happening in the city.He gave a warm introduction, thinking that Harvey did not know them.Watson’s plan was simple. Harvey and the Braff family were on the same boat at this point.He naturally hoped that Harvey would get to know many more prominent figures so he would have connections wherever he went.“What a small world, Master York.“We meet again.”Brayan showed Harvey a faint smile. He seemed extremely gentle, but the people who knew could tell the cold expression between his brows.“As expected from the best geomancy expert in the city!“It’s quite the task even to find you!”Brayan showed a smile on his face while speaking in a profound yet sarc
Both sides blatantly disrespected each other with their sarcastic tones, changing Watson Braff’s expression ever-so-slightly.He was experienced but clueless about what was happening in Golden Sands recently.That said, it was clear that there was a pretty big conflict judging from the conversation.As the middleman, Watson felt a little awkward. He hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath.“Maybe there’s been a misunderstanding…“If that’s the case, why don’t we just bury the hatchet for my sake?”“There’s no misunderstanding at all,” replied Harvey calmly.“Master York, I’ve been planning to do business with the Jean family recently…“There are two people to choose from.“It was either Mandy Zimmer or Elodie Jean.“Elodie had been really close with Young Master John.“Doing business with her would be big for me…“But if I get Mandy instead, her position in the family as the head would be solidified.“Then again, I’m afraid someone would be kicked out if I take
Harvey York spoke calmly…But his words were utterly shocking to everyone else.The father and daughter burst out in anger!How arrogant!Judging from the Foster family’s reputation, nobody would dare to act so high and mighty before them!Harvey must have had a death wish!He was looking for his death!“Repeat it, I dare you!Brayan Foster’s expression instantly turned dark.‘He wants the head of the Foster family to kneel?!‘What is he thinking?!‘Who gave him the nerve?!‘How dare he?!“You bastard!Brayan glared vengefully.“Who even are you to ask me of that?!“Can you even accept me kneeling in front of you?!“Are you not scared?!”Watson Braff quickly tried to mediate the situation after realizing the situation escalated. After all, he was the one who brought Brayan and Amora here.“Mr. Brayan, Harvey, we’re all friends here, right?“Let’s just talk it out for my sake! There’s no need to be this reckless!Naturally, Watson did not know what had transpired…
“What do you mean?” exclaimed Brayan Foster coldly.“Harvey’s just taking advantage of us, thinking he’s actually that impressive!“Why would you even speak for someone like that?”Watson Braff froze. He could not picture Harvey York matching that description in the first place.Soren Braff, who had remained quiet the entire time, finally put his cup down with a smile.“Not much happened anyway.“Harvey wanted to treat him out of kindness, yet he was chased out of the house while treated like a con man.“The secretary, Charlize, was also quite the good person. She brought an entire group of people to the Fortune Hall for Harvey, then tried to smash up the shop as soon as she failed.“Ms. Amora too. She used Vaughn Thompson against Harvey without hesitation.“Mr. Brayan even tried using the Braff family to take down Harvey today…“It’s nothing much…”Watson’s face turned dark instantly.Brayan and Amora Foster’s expressions changed. They did not expect Soren to expose them j
With Watson Braff’s persuasion, Brayan Foster and Amora Foster left with wretched expressions.Brayan had never endured such humiliation in his entire life.Amora took a deep breath.“Harvey York doesn’t even respect us, Father!” she exclaimed with a horrible expression.“Are we really going to kneel before his doorstep for five days?“We’ve contacted every geomancy expert in the country, but none are as reliable as him!“Without him, I’m afraid we won’t be able to solve your problem…“What do we do now?!”Brayan’s face darkened when he spoke after a long while.“We can only rely on ourselves now…“Use everything we can in the city.“Get Harvey’s woman here.“Remember, do not harm her.“Our goal is to force Harvey’s hand.“When I recover…”Brayan’s glare felt like a sharp blade. There was nothing else to be said anymore.***At the Zimmer Enterprise building, Mandy Zimmer was still dealing with the company’s issues.The problem with the Golden Sands was no better, but
Mandy Zimmer frowned.“What’s the condition?”“You know the answer yourself,” replied Amora Foster.“We’ve made such big strides just for that one thing since the beginning.“Get Harvey to deal with my father’s problem.“You, of all people, can convince him to do that, right?”Mandy’s face turned dark before heaving a sigh.“I’ll be honest with you, Ms. Amora! The contract’s extremely tempting to me!“I really do want it!“But I just can’t accept the condition.“I was the one who brought Harvey to the Ostrane Five.“But now, I don’t think I can do that again.“Other than preventing him from being humiliated again, you’re simply not worth it!”“Not worth it?Amora smiled faintly.“I’m asking you this one last time.“Are you signing the contract or not?“Just tell it to me straight. Stop beating around the bush.”“I won’t sign it!” exclaimed Mandy while shaking her head.Amora let out a cold chuckle.“Even with a hundred and fifty million dollars on the line?”“Right
Mandy Zimmer took a deep breath.“This is the difference between us!“You don’t care about that! But I do!”“That’s why you’re such a failure! You’re the head of the ninth branch, yet you’re constantly being toyed by the higher-ups!“You’re naive!Amora Foster had her opinions about Mandy.“I’m asking you one last time. Are you calling him or not?”“I will not!” Mandy replied slowly.“Not only that, I’ll give a fair statement to your family about this!”Slap!Amora slammed Mandy onto the table with another slap across the face.“In three minutes, I have no choice but to go further!”Amora clapped her hands.Two fierce men took off their suits with wretched chuckles.A few others started setting up their cameras. Their actions needed absolutely no explanation!“You’re shameless, Amora!”Mandy trembled. She did not expect Amora to be capable of doing such a thing.“I’m shameless?Amora chuckled with a twisted expression.“I was being nice, yet you didn’t even respect m
"You are as well-spoken as they claim, Mr. Representative," Blade said coldly. "I wish he didn't die, since I watched him grow up. However, the fact is, he's dead. We have enough evidence to prove that you caused it. So, let's not waste our time and come with us. This is better for all of us."Yvonne's expression darkened. "Blade, is it? I don't care who you are, but my boss never lies. If he said that he didn't kill that man, then this has nothing to do with him. Don't pin the blame on someone innocent!"Blade looked at Harvey icily. "We wish that he could be innocent too. If that's the case, that's an even better reason for you to come with us. Since he's being suspected, he should come to prove his innocence at the very least."Yvonne snapped, "You think very highly of yourself! You can make anyone the suspect because you say so? You can take anyone with you because you want to? Do you know that he's also the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? In some way, he'
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
