“What?!”Everyone immediately felt sluggish when they saw Miles Keaton cover his face while stumbling a few steps back.Naturally, nobody expected Harvey York would actually do anything.Not only did he ignore the threats of two sacred martial arts training grounds, but he did not even show any respect for Kalel Hoffman at all.This was clearly a lot worse than getting Kora to wash toilets!Kalel returned to his senses out of pure shock before glaring at Harvey.“Are you insane?!”“How dare you hit my man?!Kora was also furious.“I’ll fucking kill you!”She waved her hand, and the disciples of the Immortal Pavilion stepped out with fierce expressions.Without Harvey even saying anything, Prince Gibson waved his hand when dozens of Heaven’s Gate’s disciples showed up.They were all fully armed, completely suppressing the Immortal Pavilion’s disciples.The people of Heaven’s Gate were not as impressive but had the numbers and the firearms to suppress any expert they wished.
“You bastard…”Miles Keaton stumbled off the ground with his face covered in blood. His head was spinning nonstop as soon as he got back up.He was an expert martial artist but could not even dodge Harvey York’s seemingly simple slap.He could feel his brain popping out of his head after being slammed into the ground.At this very moment, he felt nothing but rage and resentment.He had always been arrogant, pampered, and clung to out of fear and respect.Even if he went to Wolsing or Mordu, many people would have no choice but to make him feel as comfortable as possible.And yet, nobody thought he would be slapped around like this in Golden Sands.Not only was his face completely swollen, he could not even dodge the attack.If word were to spread about the incident, he would not be able to survive in the future.He would probably turn into the biggest joke in the upper circle.Without a second thought, he was filled with unbridled fury.He instinctively stepped back to gain
“You!Kalel Hoffman’s face darkened instantly.With his identity in the underworld, he had never been ridiculed like this in his entire life.This was simply unforgivable to him!“I’ll teach you a good lesson for the sake of your parents today!”Then, Kalel stepped forward before throwing a punch right at Harvey York’s chest.Bam!Harvey unhesitatingly kicked Kalel.Bam!Kalel slammed right into a pillar before he fell to the ground.He seemed wretched, with his face completely red. Blood spurted out of his mouth immediately after.He sustained internal injuries with just a single kick!Miles Keaton and Kora gasped in fear after seeing the sight.They knew Harvey was the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance. They also heard he single-handedly took out all of India’s top talents.That said, they all believed that it was all just a big exaggeration.But after seeing Kalel, who had trained for decades, could not even defend himself against a single kick.M
Kalel Hoffman instinctively shivered after hearing Harvey York’s words.He returned to his senses before showing a horrible expression.At the same time, he started to regret mediating for the Council of Myth’s mess.“I’m pretty impatient.“I’m giving you three seconds.“Three, two…”Even before Harvey could say anything, Kalel took a deep breath when he knew that he could not go against Harvey anymore.“I’m sorry, Representative York!” he exclaimed with a wretched look.“At least you know when to give up. No wonder you’re still surviving after all this while.”Harvey derisively glared at Kalel.“That said, if you tell me you’re showing off with your title again…“I don’t care which family is supporting you. I’ll cripple you myself!“Do you understand me?”Kalel was shaking in anger. It was the first time he had suffered such losses.That said, a smart man would always know when to give up.Kalel would not even dare say a single word while he gritted his teeth, let alone
Harvey York sipped his tea.“One: you’re the leader of Heaven’s Gate. Surely I have to come along since you’ve invited me. This is my way of supporting you as well as to consolidate your position.”Prince Gibson froze momentarily.“Thank you, Sir York.”“Two: I wanted to see if the mighty Young Master Miles would also despise the John family after being disrespected like this.“After all, a young master who had been fed through a silver spoon his entire life wouldn’t handle such loss lightly.“He’d probably want to slap Blaine around while trying to strangle me to death at the same time.“If not, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself.”Prince froze before he understood the situation.“You’ve really thought everything through, Sir York! I’m impressed!“After this, no matter what kind of relationship the Council of Myth or the Immortal Pavilion has with Blaine…“Cracks will surely start to form between them.“Things like this aren’t repairable at all. It’d only turn worse
The current situation in Golden Sands was a lot different than before.The Patel family was busy fighting off the John family.Harvey York wanted Kairi Patel to get as much information as possible so she would not panic later.Kairi chuckled bitterly after getting the texts.She knew Harvey’s action had made the Golden Sands’ situation as clear as day…But the enemies would also move a lot quicker because of him.Simply put, the situation had become extremely tense.Harvey smiled back after seeing the look on Kairi’s face. After reviewing the situation momentarily, he decided to head to the Robbins family’s residence instead of heading inside.Seven o’clock at night.Harvey arrived at the manor entrance.Before pressing the doorbell, he could see a few more discreet-looking Lincoln limousines parked around.The cars were extremely low-profile, with windows at least seven layers thick. Even bullets would not be able to penetrate them.Judging from this, it was clear just how
Saul Robbins glared at Harvey York as if he could not read how miserable the whole situation was.Harvey let out a sigh.“Shall we have a drink outside?”“It’s fine. Come and have some tea with me in the study. You should also stay for a meal.”After seeing Saul’s miserable expression, Harvey just could not decline the invitation.The two came to a tower block inside the manor.The place was only a thousand square feet wide, with scriptures and antiques placed all over.Extremely well-known paintings from around the world were also hung on the walls.It was safe to say that even though the decoration was not all that special, the items here were quite valuable.After gesturing for Harvey to sit, Saul brought out a few antique bracelets before putting them in front of Harvey.“I heard you stood up for Arlet at the stone gambling site, Harvey.“You must be pretty experienced with gems.“What do you think about these?”Harvey casually picked up a bracelet before taking a few
Harvey York chuckled.“They probably just have good relations.”Saul Robbins looked bitter.“Of course, I know that!“But look at that bastard!“He has ulterior motives!“I don’t say anything about this to Lola, but this seems extremely fishy!“That’s why I need your help!”Harvey froze. The topic segued a little too quickly.“I’ll do anything to help. We’re family anyway,” replied Harvey after nodding.Saul smiled faintly.“That’s good to know.“If anything happens to me…“Take care of Lola and the child inside her.“That’s our only heir after all!”Then, Harvey frowned.“Who would even go up against the Robbins family?”Saul let out a chuckle.“It’s not that. Just the situation looks that way.“Golden Sands is a little too peaceful right now.“That said, the calm before the storm is usually the most terrifying part.“Nobody knows what’ll happen next…“But I believe you.“No one would dare go against you no matter what.”Saul must have had something in his mind
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
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
