Leona was dressed in business attire, with black high heels and stockings. She wore a high ponytail, and her makeup was striking. She was as beautiful as a flower, and any who looked at her drooled instantly. It was a shame she was exuding such a cold aura. Ordinary people didn’t dare get close to her, let alone chat with her.Leona waited in silence; she had no interest in anyone. As soon as she saw Harvey, her face lit up in joy, like a blooming flower.“You’re here, Sir York,” she said, taking a step forward. “We’d have to cancel the event if you didn’t come. After all, what’s the point of going through it without you?”Harvey chuckled after hearing Leona’s words.“Don’t say that. Saul and Lola are the ones organizing the project. I’m just a shareholder. But since I promised to come, I’d have to do everything in my power to fulfill it, right?”Leona’s face was bright red; she was quite happy to hear Harvey’s playful words.“Right, Sir York. You can’t just leave after cutti
Harvey and Leona saw someone throwing a pair of scissors to the ground. The scissors were supposed to be used to cut the ribbon during the ceremony.Objects made out of pure gold were relatively softer. The scissors, a symbol of the project’s wealth, were destroyed instantly.A higher-up who saw it immediately walked over.“Do you think you can destroy the things here just because you’re a star? Can you compensate for the damages if the project doesn’t take off?!”Slap!A beautiful woman with gorgeous makeup and a striking figure stepped forward, and slapped the higher-up in the face.“I’ve been waiting for ten whole minutes for this event! So what if I broke your stupid scissors?” she screeched.The higher-up’s face darkened instantly. Everyone else looked at each other; they didn’t dare to stop the woman at all.The workers behind her bore pompous expressions as they watched. They looked as if the woman had done no wrong. “Golden Estate’s pretty impressive!“You’ve begged
Harvey naturally wouldn’t get involved in the situation.He nodded, and said, “Right. You go ahead.” Leona walked over before saying something to Violet. The next moment, Violet suddenly slapped Leona’s face.Harvey’s expression turned stern. When he saw that Leona only suffered a slight physical injury, he sighed in relief. Violet’s arrogant assistant glared coldly at the crowd, and said, “Leona! Casen! Every single one of you! I’m warning you!“Ms. Violet’s standing in the main spot, no matter what!“Aside from that, you’d have to pay us three times the rate!“Do that, and we’ll let go of this. “If not, we’ll make an announcement to the public immediately!“Violet’s thirty million fans could destroy all the buildings here!“Don’t even try to show off just because you have money!“How dare you get a random savage of a man to take over Ms. Violet’s place?“Keep dreaming!“Ms. Violet is a close friend to the leader of the housing department’s sales management, Amaia Sack
The assistant stood up and wiped the blood off her mouth, before screaming at Harvey, “How dare you, you bastard?! Try me again if you dare!”Slap!Harvey calmly swung the back of his palm. The assistant screamed in pain as she was sent flying again.“It’s my first time hearing such a stupid request after staying here for this long. You all saw it; she asked me to do it.”Harvey wiped his fingers, filled with utter disdain.Everyone was shocked; they didn’t know what to say as they looked at Harvey.The slaps were very refreshing to watch…However, Golden Estate was about to pay a terrible price for that. The Golden Garden project would be forced to shut down if things went south.‘Doesn’t this bastard know how to hold himself back for the greater good?‘Violet has thirty million fans and the Foster family’s support!‘There’s going to be a lot of trouble if people sent word about this!‘Violet even knows Amai, the cold-blooded killer of the housing department!”‘This is ter
The workers behind Violet looked at Harvey with disdain. In their eyes, anyone who went up against Violet would surely suffer.The more Harvey showed off, the worse he’d end up.After taking two slaps from Harvey, Paola almost broke her tooth. She glared hatefully at him. “You’ll get what’s coming for you soon! When Ms. Violet’s friend gets here, you’re dead for sure!”Harvey crossed his arms.“Hopefully the person you call won’t kneel to me immediately. It’ll be boring if that’s the case.”Paola laughed coldly while waiting for the call to pick up.“Ms. Amaia! Our people got beat up! We already told them about you, but they just didn’t care!”Paola looked as if she was an innocent lady who had been taken advantage of, running her mouth while on the verge of tears.After she hung up, she returned to the wretched expression she had before.“Just you wait!“Ms. Amaia will be here soon!“You won’t even know how you die when she gets here!”She then pointed at everyone else,
That said, Amaia was a smart person.She knew Harvey was brothers with Watson, the director of the housing department. That was why she never thought of taking revenge against him.After knowing Violet and getting close to the Foster family’s relatives, she decided to take charge of the housing department’s sales management.Safe to say, the money earned in her new occupation was way more lucrative compared to managing a mere geomancy shop.Because of that, Amaia’s beautiful face seemed a little chubbier than before.She strutted forward before exclaiming coldly, “Who’s the one provoking my friend here? Does the Golden Estate plan to shut down after this?”Amaia had a greater authority compared to her higher-ups here, since she was the one who showed up to the event. If she wanted to, she could seize entire construction companies without warning.“You’re here, Ms. Amaia! That bastard not only disrespected Ms. Violet, but he even hit me!“Look! My face is completely warped becau
Harvey’s slap rang loud and clear. Amaia’s face was completely swollen, and her head was spinning all around.Despite that, she dared not lash out.“Of course! Please go ahead!”Slap!Harvey slapped Amaia again without holding back.“A government official represents the government itself.“How are you supposed to live up to your position if you don’t fight for the people’s justice?”Slap!“You ignore the rights and wrongs and take advantage of the citizens, and yet you’re still shamelessly pulling out your credentials?”Slap!“You demand people to kneel and compensate for damages without any approval?“Who gave you the authority?”Slap!“Do you remember your lesson now?”Harvey slapped Amaia to the ground, then wiped his fingers with a calm expression.Amaia stumbled, but she had a respectful look on her face. “Of course! Thank you for your lesson!”“How is this possible?!”Violet and the others felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Some kept rubbing their eyes
The person on the other side of the phone was enraged after hearing his woman getting beat up and taken advantage of.“Heh, heh! This place is filled with scumbags after all, huh?“If anyone goes for my woman, then they must have a death wish!“I don’t care who you are, kid! Kneel and apologize, then let Violet punish you however she pleases! There’s still time!“If not, the Foster family will crush you without hesitation!”Trenton’s words were fierce, as if he was a superior being talking down to his servants. Naturally, he could crush anyone he wanted with just a single word.“You hear that? Kneel already!”Violet glared arrogantly at Harvey.“It’ll be bad for you if Young Master Trenton gets angry!”Violet was ready to ridicule Harvey, when he took a step forward.“Young Master Trenton, right?” Harvey said.“I don’t care what your relation is to the Foster family…“But let me tell you something: my name is Harvey York.“Before you decide to go against me, why don’t you
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
