“You bastard! You…”Ayaka wiped everything off her face. She stumbled off the ground; she was about to give the order to kill Harvey right there and then when she saw his face.She instinctively shivered.It was clear she still remembered the humiliation she suffered back in the hospital. Her pretty face had a red palm print because of him, after all.‘He burned my face with hot tea?! He deserves to die!’Harvey glanced calmly at Ayaka.“What? Was yesterday not enough for you as a lesson? Are you still trying to take advantage of people? Do you think you can actually do whatever you want because you have some cheap paperwork?”“You bastard!”Ayaka took a deep breath.“Get the cops here right now! Call Golden Sands Police Station!“Say that someone’s been hurting us mighty Islanders! I’d like to see how they’ll justify this to us!”Ayaka believed she could crush Harvey with ease because of her and Yamato’s identities. She thought she could throw Harvey behind bars this way, t
“Do you want to see something more impressive?” Harvey asked.Yamato chuckled coldly, then stepped forward.“I do, actually,” he replied darkly as he leaned in towards Harvey.“What? Are you going to slap me?“Even if I let you, would you even dare? You’re just a man from Country H.“You’re not stupid. You should know the consequences for doing such a thing!”Yamato’s words were filled with ridicule. He wanted everyone to know that he was blatantly insulting Harvey for saying all this.Everyone believed Harvey wouldn’t do anything to Yamato, anyway.Slap!Harvey suddenly took a step forward, and slapped Yamato to the ground. He then wiped his fingers with some tissues before looking at Yamato.“Only people like you would ask for something this heinous. Are you happy now that your wish is fulfilled?”“What?!”Everyone was baffled to see everything Harvey did and said.Ayaka and the other Islanders couldn’t even come to their senses.After all, Yamato was the second young m
Ayaka’s face was as swollen as a pig’s; she covered her face and pointed at Harvey, her face a wretched expression.“Kill him!” she screamed, not holding back. “Kill him right now!”The experts were completely infuriated. They cracked their necks while stepping forward, ready to take out Harvey.Harvey casually waved the firearm in his hand around; since he had the weapon, he decided to just cripple the Islanders without wasting too much effort.“Stop right now!”Yamato stumbled off the ground when he saw that a huge fight was about to break out. He waved his hand and walked toward Harvey, narrowing his eyes. “Impressive! Truly impressive!“Not only did you hit me, but you’re even planning to hurt the people of the Island Nations Embassy with that firearm! You have guts!”Yamato chuckled wretchedly while glaring at Harvey.“I only wanted payback for my dead dog… But I think I’ll have to take action myself!“I’ll make sure you die slowly, but surely. I’ll make you understand
Ayaka and the others revealed grim expressions after hearing Yamato’s words.Ayaka had already heard about Harvey’s identity from the Johns after suffering her losses the day before. Not only was Harvey Kairi’s kept man, but he was also the Golden Sands’ top geomancy expert and the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance.Everyone knew that the title of representative was simply a title without any authority.It didn’t matter if they went against Harvey or not. The country’s sacred martial arts training grounds wouldn’t dare go against the mighty Islanders for the sake of a man like that, anyway.The Islanders around had the same thought. The only reason they were scared of Harvey was because of his fighting skills to become the representative.That said, fighting skill meant nothing in their narrow minds. After all, they had the numbers advantage. As long as they were shameless enough, they’d find ways to take out Harvey.Without a second thought, the Islanders wer
Yamato’s face darkened instantly.Just as Harvey said, everything he did and said was to test Harvey’s courage. But judging from Harvey’s actions, Yamato couldn’t find out anything. He couldn’t see Harvey’s depth.Many times, the unknown would turn into fear.“Since you’re here to test me, I’ll give you a chance right now!”Harvey took a step forward, and tapped Yamato’s face.“As the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, I order you!“Grovel in front of Arlet as an apology. You can leave with your men if you do. If you don’t, you won’t be standing anymore as soon as you get out of this place.”Harvey emitted a cold aura as he twirled the firearm. Ayaka and the others’ faces changed instantly.A few Islanders were planning to charge forward before Harvey casually shot them down. They held their legs as they screamed in pain on the ground.Ayaka wanted to step forward as well, but she could only look on with twitching eyes when she saw Harvey blow off the smoke
Compared to before, Yamato was as humble as he could’ve been. The Islanders who knew him were baffled. ‘Wasn’t he supposed to fight Harvey to the death?‘Wasn’t he supposed to go all out?‘Why would he kneel like this?‘There’s no logic!‘This simply doesn’t make sense!‘After all, Yamato isn’t the only one being humiliated for groveling in front of everyone…‘The Tsuchimikado family’s name is being tarnished as well! So is every single Islander!’The Islanders were all holding their fists as they shivered in rage.“We’re leaving!”Yamato stumbled off the ground, then looked deeply into Harvey’s eyes with a smile. After that, he turned around and left.Harvey looked deeply at Yamato’s back.It was true he was an arrogant man… But he also knew when to back down when he didn’t know his opponent’s abilities.The young master of the Masato family was no ordinary man, after all! From his alone, it was clear that Yamato would be hard to deal with.The two formidable Islanders
“I’m sorry, Harvey,” Arlet said quietly. “The situation’s pretty tense right now, but I still went on to have a meal with the Islanders…”Harvey shook his head.“You’re not to blame for this. They were planning to come at you, anyway. You didn’t know that they were plotting against you either. “If they couldn’t take advantage of you, they’d do it to someone else. “From a certain perspective, it’s good that everything played out this way. At least we’ve made sure that the Johns and the Islanders are deeply involved with each other.”Harvey chuckled coldly.“Evermore and the Island Nations… Looks like the Johns have everyone under their belt!”Arlet’s face darkened instantly; she clearly didn’t like the way Harvey used those words. That said, it seemed quite appropriate for the Johns.After reading the documents on the phone, Watson spoke up again.“This is really bad, Harvey. The Braff family has to leave Golden Sands soon. You need to be careful; the government won’t be help
While Harvey and Watson were talking about the Tsuchimikado family…On a highway around the city, a Toyota Alphard was slowly cruising forward. Yamato took a sip of his sake, his eyes bloodshot.In front of him, Ayaka was sitting upright with an apologetic look on her face.“It was my fault that I didn’t arrange things properly, Young Master Yamato… Please, do whatever you want with me!”Yamato looked deeply into Ayaka’s eyes before chuckling wretchedly.“You didn’t arrange things properly? I think it’s the exact opposite, right? You know I love dominating young ladies from Country H, so you arranged for Arlet to see me, didn’t you?“You wanted me to have a sour relationship with Arlet and the people behind her. Am I wrong?”Ayaka trembled in fear. She nodded, her face pale. Yamato raised her chin with a faint smile.“Not bad! As expected from an Islander. At least you can admit to the things you did.“Arlet is indeed my type. I couldn’t get my hands on her, but I’m still de
In the end, Journi took a deep breath and buried all her helplessness and fury deeper into her heart. Then, she slowly said, "You must be joking, Ms. Isis. You are the daughter of the Sherril Corp from Country A. No matter how bold I am, I wouldn't dare to cross you. However, I simply wish for you to show some mercy…"To thank you, I'm willing to give you some of the assets in Country A I owe you for free as my gift. I believe you won't make it difficult for me, right?"Journi thought she had already lowered herself to the point that she was practically begging Isis to show her mercy. At this point, she even felt that she was giving up. She even forgot that she had Harvey pretend to be her boyfriend.Harvey was pleased, however. Instead of using an excuse like having a boyfriend, she was willing to accept other conditions in exchange for her freedom. This was a sign that she was maturing."Tsk… Assets from Country A? The few mansions you bought on the West Coast?" Isis lit a cigare
Journi ignored Drake, who was threatening her, and simply stared at Isis. "Isis, we're all part of the elite society. In this community, there are rules for everything. If I'm willing, you can do whatever you want. If I'm willing, I hope you can show me some respect so we can all preserve our dignity."Slap!Isis suddenly stood up and slapped Journi's face. "You little witch! Do you think your dignity is worth anything here? Do you think I need to preserve my dignity? Are you stupid? Not even your father has the right to speak to me like this, and you most definitely don't."The sudden slap stunned Journi. Finally, she managed to compose herself, gritted her teeth, and said, "Isis, are you trying to fight me until the end?"Isis made a hand gesture when she heard that voice. Instantly, dozens of brutal mutants came near. Each of them looked at Journi with a cold expression."Until the end, you say?" sighed Isis as she shook her head. "Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. You
Harvey's expression was becoming even colder. He had a new understanding about the "Madman", the third Young Master of Wolsing. If he was willing to humiliate a woman like that, it meant that he was not of good character."Alright, Drake. I told you not to provoke my Journi. Why are you still threatening her? Aren't you just making things hard for me?" Isis retorted, and then she looked at Journi with heartache. "I'm so sorry, Journi. He's only doing this for our future. No matter what, I owe you an apology on his behalf. Please don't keep this against him. Come, clean your face a little."And then, Isis picked up the towel she had used before and threw it in front of Journi. Journi narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to commit. However, she managed to suppress everything in the end. She had to remind herself she had other objectives for appearing here today.Regardless, she had to see if she could succeed.Journi slowly stood up, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Isis. "Thank you."
Drake shrugged nonchalantly and said to Journi, "I don't care whether you want to kneel, but you know my nickname well."As they spoke, Drake's right finger was already starting to pull the trigger.Journi gritted her teeth, but in the end, she slowly bent the knee. Harvey was stunned as he was going to make his move. There was surprise in his eyes. All these men and women from high society had their own pride. He did not expect her to be able to be so flexible in a time like this. She deserved his praise!"Tsk. Aren't you a princess? Aren't you always prideful? Don't they call you a goddess?" Drake looked at Journi disdainfully when he saw her kneel. He patted Journi's hand with a sneer. "You've always despised me, haven't you? Why are you kneeling before me now?"If it isn't because Ms. Isis desired you, do you think I'll let you kneel here? You're just a daughter from some second-rate top family. You think you're untouchable, and you want to go against us? Do you think you're an
Hearing Drake's words, Journi coldly said, "Drake, are you stupid? Do you know who you are? Are you threatening me? Ruin my face, then. Show me if you can actually bear the consequences of your action!"Journi was quite fearless. Besides Harvey being right next to her, it was also because Journi was sure Drake would not dare to do anything to her. She was a member of the Stanton family, after all. While the Stanton family was not one of the top ten families or one of the five hidden families, they were still one of the top families.If they butted heads and went all out, it would never end well for both sides."Ha! Don't think I didn't know Emery is no longer interested in you," Drake waved his hand, and four brawny men walked out, their eyes locked on Harvey and Journi."I gave you some respect in the past because Emery wanted you, so I did it for his sake. Do you really think you mean anything? And now? Who do you think you are? So what if I tell you to kneel and call her Queen?
Just when Harvey was giving Isis a good look, Jouni could not help but yelp as if she had discovered something novel. "Drake Ward? Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be back in the Northern Lands?"Harvey looked at Isis and instantly frowned. Then, his eyes turned to the man sitting opposite Isis. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had a buzz cut. He was also covered in tattoos and looked very aggressive. Most importantly, he was the only man from Country H who could be on the same level as all these foreigners here.And the way he looked at Isis was one of unrestrained aggression. However, despite clearly noticing that, Isis did not say anything else. That also explained the man's high status because, typically speaking, someone like Isis would definitely kill any man who gave her those looks."Drake Ward?" Harvey was curious. "Why does this name sound so familiar?""Of course it is," Journi replied coldly. "He belonged to one of the five hidden families, the Ward family o
Since the other side wanted to drop all pretenses, he also could do it his way. They lived in an era when fighting fire with fire was the only way to go. The man's expression froze, somewhat darkened. He did not expect this man to be the current chairman of Country H Commercial Group, which meant he had bitten off more than he could ever chew. If he had known, he would not have wasted his breath.But from how calm Harvey was, he could tell that Harvey was definitely someone who would honor his threats. If Harvey really did take this to Elric, then it would simply make everyone look bad. Even if they were sure this place had nothing to do with the commercial group, who would they complain to when Harvey locked all the exits?The moment that thought crossed the man's mind, he could only say with a straightened expression, "I see that you're the chairman, Mr. Harvey. If that's the case, please come in. My master wanted to meet you for a long time."When Journi saw the man had taken a
"True, this is not our territory," the man said with a smile, "but since Mr. Stanton rented this place to us, this place is under our management for the time being. When he rented us this place, we made a promise. Other than the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group, only the guests that we designated can enter this place. "Even gods will have to follow this rule. Not only are you trying to make it hard for us, but you're also making it hard for your father. I believe you won't make it difficult for us, right?The man gave Journi a meaningful smile. A woman who came to his master after submitting herself to him didn't have anything to be proud of.Journi's expression darkened. "What if I said this man is my boyfriend?""Boyfriend?" The man smiled. "He can't enter even if he's your husband. But I know you people like to break the rules all the time. If you want to force your way through, then we'll act accordingly."The man clapped; instantly, eight powerful-built men walked
The next day, eight o'clock in the evening… Harvey got into a car, and Journi was waving at him with a smile. In the past two days, Journi didn't interrupt him and Yvonne, and simply let them clean up everything that had happened earlier.Once it was almost done, only then did Journi ask Harvey to do as he promised and pretend to be her boyfriend.According to Journi, the man from Country A who liked her was becoming worse and worse. One time, he even went to the female toilet and she almost lost her innocence. All she wanted was for Harvey to deal with this properly.Originally, Harvey didn't want to make a move. When he heard how improper the man acted, he was furious and agreed to Journi's request. However, Journi said that this couldn't be taken care of using force alone. She hoped Harvey would go and meet him and settle this peacefully. This would be good for both sides.Originally, Harvey was going to ask Tyson to immediately teach that man a lesson. But since Journi requ
