In the Ostrane One, Harvey York had already devised a way to restore Mandy Zimmer’s position.On the other hand, Lilian Yates brought out a thirty-year-old liquor. Her change in attitude was simply volatile.She even grabbed half of a leftover roasted chicken before painstakingly buying an entire table full of food to care for Harvey.That said, Lilian was utterly devastated when she paid for the meal.Mandy was speechless after seeing the sight.She did not know what to say when Lilian treated Harvey this nicely.Lilian forced out a smile when she put a chicken drumstick on Harvey’s plate.“I don’t know what your relationship with the Foster family is, Harvey!“But you need to make sure that you’re both on the same page!“If Mandy can’t get her position back, we’ll need the hundred-and-fifty-million dollar compensation!“And once she gets her position back, we’ll have to earn a few million dollars more to ensure she keeps it!“She’ll become one of the Jean family’s most pro
“Oh? Are you teaching me how to do things right now?”Lilian Yates coldly chuckled while belittling her husband.“Do you think I’m just as useless as you?“If it weren’t for me leading the family, you would’ve been sleeping on the streets already!“What? You don’t like an old hag like me anymore? Do you think you’re that impressive now?“Let me tell you something! Everything you eat and wear, I fought for them!“If you keep running your mouth, I’ll kick you out of the house right now!”Simon Zimmer showed a horrible expression.“The house isn’t even yours!”“It can be!”Lilian started to get irritated.“Harvey, I’ll give you a chance to pursue Mandy again as long as you give her the Ostrane One!“If you do it right now, I’ll even let you take her out for a movie!”Harvey felt utterly speechless.‘A hundred and fifty million dollars for a date, and all I can do is watch a movie with her…?‘What kind of movie is even worth that much money?’Mandy’s beautiful face instantl
“Besides, you think I’m the type of person who wants the money?“All I want to see is his attitude! A peace of mind! Do you understand?!Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer rolled their eyes. They did not expect their mother to be this shameless.Harvey York was speechless as well. His understanding of Lilian Yates’ lack of shame was on another level.“Believe me, Harvey…”Lilian was about to say more when the door was suddenly kicked open.The copper door tumbled out of the way before slamming right on the ground.Lilian gritted her teeth while feeling completely distraught.“How dare you kick our door down, you bastard?!“We’re from the Jean family’s ninth branch!“Do you want to die?!”A dozen people swarmed into the place, with a bald monk leading the group.‘Aung!’The people following Aung were the ninth branch’s prideful higher-ups.Reuben Jean’s trusted subordinate was the one who kicked the door down…Lilian gasped before showing a timid look.“Master Aung! You’re here!
“You humiliated Elder Reuben!“Threatened the branch head!“According to the house rules, you’ll have to break your own damn legs for this!“Are you going to do that yourselves? Or do you want me to help instead?!Aung glared ruthlessly at Mandy Zimmer.‘What a shame for a beautiful woman like her!‘If it weren’t for Elder Reuben, I would’ve dragged her to the bed as punishment!‘She’s a pure goddess!‘That’s not just an exaggeration!‘She’s really that good-looking!’The people from the ninth branch coldly chuckled.At the same time, they were showing utterly wretched expressions.If they were not related to Mandy at all, they would have also asked to have a taste of her.After all, she really was too beautiful.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates froze with disbelief after hearing Aung’s words.“You want to break Mandy’s legs?!” exclaimed Simon in shock.“Is that what I just heard?!”“What did she even do for you to impose this on her?“Even if she did do something, you c
Mandy’s face instantly turned cold.“You’re a monk, Master Aung. How can you say something like that?“Besides, the only problem is that the Foster family refuses to acknowledge Elodie.“This has nothing to do with us!“If you want to talk about house rules, you should be lecturing Elodie instead of me!”Mandy was fierce; Harvey’s presence gave her a lot of confidence.Lilian stepped forward, nodding. “That’s right! This has nothing to do with my daughter! Elodie should’ve read through the contract before anything!”“Besides, my daughter didn’t get the contract in the first place,” Simon said. “It’s only natural for the contract to be voided after she leaves, right? At the very least, you people should take responsibility…”Slap! Slap!Aung wasted no time slapping Simon and Lilian with the back of his palm, making them stumble back.“Are you teaching me how to do things right now?“I don’t need your explanation! You need to pay the price!“Choose! Are you coming with me? Or
The higher-ups were filled with rage. They crawled up with their faces covered.‘Is this live-in son-in-law that ignorant?‘How dare he challenge someone like Master Aung?!‘At this point, he’s asking to die!’“Master Aung is an expert, Harvey!” Lilian yelled, unable to hold herself back. “Stop showing off in front of him! Kneel! Stop causing trouble! Don’t drag the entire family with you!”It was clear Lilian didn’t care for Harvey at all. She was just afraid of Harvey agitating Aung, and that would make things worse for the entire family.The higher-ups became more arrogant after seeing Lilian giving in. They laughed coldly, looking at Harvey as if he was already done for.“You’re finished for going against us, you damn live-in son-in-law!“We’ll break whichever arm you used to slap us!“You’re nothing in front of Master Aung!”Aung’s pride shot through the roof when he heard that. He took a step forward, and glared coldly at Harvey.“I can give you a chance. Break your ar
Naturally, nobody expected that Harvey could actually able to fight back.Aung stumbled back, his face completely swollen after taking every single slap to the point where black eyes were blatantly showing.To the higher-ups, Aung an expert martial artist and represented the Jean family’s most ancient lineage. Thus, they didn’t know what to say after seeing someone like that get beaten to a pulp.Aung was miserable; he wanted to dodge and fight back, but…He couldn’t even make a sound after being slapped around, even when Harvey’s attacks didn’t seem too fast.Aung was filled with nothing but pain and resentment. Unfortunately, he could do nothing. Facing Harvey, he had no choice but to endure!Lilian’s eyes twitched after seeing it, and she was thankful she stopped talking down to Harvey when she could. If not, Harvey could definitely slap her mouth shut.“Enough, Harvey.”Simon’s eyes twitched; he decided to mediate, since he was afraid of Reuben coming after the family.“Ma
Aung didn’t think he’d be crippled by a single slap.Everyone else looked bewildered.They could clearly tell that Aung was already planning to kill Harvey…Yet, what happened?Harvey sent him flying again with a simple slap. Judging from Aung’s state, he wouldn’t be able to stand again.‘Is he crippled?‘Is Aung too weak?! Or is Harvey just too strong?!’Everyone lift Aung, and left the place soon after.Judging from Harvey’s methods, he would’ve snapped Aung’s arms before leaving him. However, he refrained from doing that since he didn’t want Mandy and Xynthia to see that.“You’re a lot better than before, Harvey!”While the family was still in shock, Xynthia snapped to her senses. She couldn’t resist jumping right into Harvey’s arms, smiling warmly.Harvey’s chest felt warm; he wanted to push Xynthia away, but he couldn’t do that at all.Mandy’s heart stung when she saw this. She quickly stepped forward to break the two apart.“Alright, knock it off! You’re an adult! Wh
Harvey was speechless when he heard of the identity of the so-called Mr. Lee. Why were all the people like this from Longmen? Since he had already retired, wasn't it better for him to just retire in peace instead of running around and interfering in things like this?When Mr. Lee saw the stupefied look on Harvey's face, he thought Harvey was shocked by the Longmen Association's reputation. He faked a cough, and put his hands behind his back. "Do you know the meaning of fear now, young man? I've seen plenty of talented young men in this world, but none had acted so arrogantly like you."Have you heard about the scion of the Longmen Association? He is a true prodigy, but even someone like him had to treat himself as a junior before me. Think about it… Do you really think you can act in such an arrogant manner before me?"Mr. Lee smiled haughtily, as if his status was that high and mighty.Elric reminded Harvey, "Maybe you've never heard of the scion of the Longmen Association, bu
Harvey stated his demand without hesitation.Elric's face darkened immediately. He slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "What do you mean, Harvey? I'm telling you, it's rare for me to speak so good-naturedly with anyone else. If you're still stubborn, you'll have to bear all responsibility for what comes next!"Harvey smashed the cup in his hand in response, and tossed the pieces toward Elric. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Stanton. Your threats are pointless to me. And so, I will gladly bear that responsibility."Just as Elric was going to rage on, the old man next to him suddenly raised his head and slammed his hand on the table. A deep handprint appeared on the wooden table. He stared at Harvey and snarled coldly, "Watch your mouth!"I've been sitting here for so long, and I finally have a basic understanding of you. In short, you're someone who likes to dance between the borders of life and death. Mr. Elric Stanton is the man who created Country H Commercial Group. He's someone well
The corner of Elric's eye twitched a little when he heard Harvey analyze things in just a few sentences and insinuate what he wanted. Harvey was indeed no simple man. Elric made the right choice not to fight him until the end.He didn't know if he could fully defeat Harvey once he chose to go against Harvey until the end. He might be the one who ended up losing everything he had. From the way Harvey acted, if he did anything against Harvey and the latter had evidence of it, things wouldn't end well for him.When the thought crossed his mind, Elric suddenly had a desire to completely eradicate Havery.Elric took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey and said, "Before we get down to business, I have to admit that young men like you are very rare nowadays. Not only did you do things cleanly, but you also have the skills and physical ability to do so. Despite your youth, you have already reached a height no lower than us old folks. I admi
Twelve o'clock the following day. Harvey followed the GPS and arrived at a simple cafe.Aside from selling coffee and tea, the cafe also served all kinds of delicacies in Wolsing. It also proved that whoever chose this place had taste.Harvey looked around the café and walked to the center. The entire cafe was empty, with only one table being seated at the center.Elric was there, and next to him was an old man in a martial arts robe. He looked quite impressive and could take a beating or two. Harvey didn't know who the old man was, but he was most likely a martial arts elite.After Harvey had slapped Elric last time, Elric probably learned from his experience and had to make some preparations when seeing Harvey. Unfortunately, such preparation was pointless. If Harvey wanted to, he could slap Elric as many times as he wanted.Harvey thought of Journi, and nodded at Elric. "Hello, Mr. Stanton. We met again. Journi had already told me about it. She didn't ask me to take the offer
Elric frowned before replying slowly, "After interacting with Harvey again and again, we have all suffered all kinds of losses. Even someone like Emery unexpectedly failed when he got caught by surprise. Everything tells us that Harvey isn't someone we can easily dispatch."Since that's the case, we need to plan properly and carefully if we want to get rid of him. There's no need to rush…"Pamela said coldly, "Once Hector's funeral is complete, many things within the Thompson family will be decided. After all that, it's pointless even if we can kill him a hundred times. Only by killing him before the funeral will I have the chance to become the leader of the family. Even if I can't, it will only be beneficial for us if we can give his head to the new leader as an introductory gift. We need to put in more effort, old man."Elric frowned slightly as he narrowed his eyes. "Well… There might be a chance, but…"After giving it a thought, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Jo
Harvey's tone was indifferent, but his words were shocking.Emery's expression changed slightly, and even the expressions on the faces of Janus and the others turned stony. Especially Janus. He knew well what kind of a person Emery was.Emery was capable of installing and igniting explosives under their vans, killing them after their little act. He was also capable of using their deaths to fuel his followers' rage against his enemies. Forget being of doing all this, he most likely had already done it."Enough! Who's throwing such accusations around?" Betty said icily as she scanned the crowd. "Mr. Emery won't do something like that when he's someone so generous toward his followers! How dare you throw wild accusations around without even daring to show your face! You…"Before Betty could continue, the vans Janus and his men had driven here suddenly exploded one by one in loud booms. The powerful shockwave rippled outwards, and almost everyone was knocked off their feet.Emery's
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
