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
“Our sales will plummet if the situation escalates. How are you going to deal with this? We built this luxurious area from scratch!”Harvey pointed out the severity of the situation with a calm tone.Trenton took a deep breath.“Please, Sir York!“Let me buy a house there!“It doesn’t matter if it’s the worst one!“I’m willing to pay three times—no, ten times the original cost!”“Just pay double,” Harvey replied.“People will think that I’m trying to fake an advertisement if you pay that much.“As for the house, I’ll make sure to pick one in a good spot for you.“Even if you have no shame, your family wouldn’t say the same.“That said, I’ll need you to tell your friends about this.”“Of course! I’ll do that right now!”Trenton clapped his chest.Leona and the others were speechless. Harvey managed to spread word about the Golden Garden project in the upper social circle so effortlessly…Since someone like Trenton bought one of the houses for double the original price, th
Amora’s high and mighty attitude from before was completely replaced by respect toward Harvey. She quickly walked toward him with a gentle smile.“Please don’t mind me coming here uninvited, Sir York.”Seeing her refined and noble appearance, Harvey felt that Amora seemed a lot more personable.He signaled for her to sit down, and smiled at her. “What is it? Is your father still paralyzed? If that’s the case, he’s probably pretending.”“Thank you for your concern. He’s perfectly fine now,” Amora replied quickly. “After knowing that I was coming here, he told me to thank you personally. Without you, he would’ve become a vegetable for the rest of his life…”“Doesn’t he hate me for taking half of his family’s assets?” Harvey asked.Amora smiled.“You’re kidding. My father and I were resentful at first, but we understood something.“You’re a man who’s destined for great things.“It may look like our family suffered huge losses, but from another perspective, half of our assets ar
Harvey glanced at the woman in front of him calmly.Safe to say, Amora was quite a smart woman. She knew there were dire consequences for going against Mandy.She also knew that Harvey was still divorced.That was why she handed Harvey the contract to mend the situation. That way, his relationship with both Mandy and the Zimmer family would recover.Harvey flipped through the pages for a moment.“Sure. Since you’re this sincere about it, I’ll keep the contract.“But you didn’t come for just these two things now, did you?“We’re businessmen. Just say what’s on your mind.”Amora smiled.“I expect no less from you.“You may not know this, but the Olden Trade, the biggest chain luxury shopping mall in the country, belongs to the Foster family.“I’d like you to build a chain inside Golden Garden during its next phase.“I can guarantee you that the brands included are the best of the best. Golden Garden’s standards will only go higher with this.”Harvey narrowed his eyes; Amora
Sounds of clacking high heels were heard.Soon after, a contract was slammed in front of Mandy.Mandy raised her head, meeting a beautiful face. The woman in question was in a business attire, with the Beads of Eyes around her neck. She was playing with the keys of her Audi with a pompous expression.She was looking down on Mandy while showing utter disdain.The woman was none other than Elodie, Cedric’s woman.She didn’t come all the way to Golden Sands with her mother just to help arrange a date with Mandy. She even brought an appointment letter as well; she was the current vice CEO of the Zimmer Enterprise.“Sign this contract for me, CEO Zimmer,” Elodie said, smiling faintly.Mandy sighed before flipping through the contract.“Sit. Let me take a look at this first…” she said, without a hint of anger.“What do you mean by that?!”Elodie was enraged.“Don’t you know what situation the company’s in?!“Forget solving the crisis, you’re here wasting time on pointless thing
"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
