“What did you just say to me?“Not only did you insult Young Master Rohan, but you’re also talking to the rest of the family with such disrespect?“Do you want to die? We can drown you with just our own spit right now! Ignorant fool!”The crowd was showing righteous fury after seeing Harvey act so arrogantly. Everyone pointed at Harvey while screaming at him, calling him an ignorant man who popped out of nowhere just to cause the family trouble.“Who gave you the courage to do as you please here, young man? Have you considered the consequences of doing such a thing?”Riggs chuckled, then pulled out a red notebook and throwing it in front of Harvey.“Look closely! Here’s my license to kill!“Do you know what that means?! It means that I have special permission to kill anyone! It also means that I don’t need to pay the price after the kill! Do you understand me?”Riggs had no intention to back off, and smiled coldly at Harvey.His words were ruthless. Lola’s eyes twitched when s
“If you want me to let that brat go, I’m changing my conditions! Starting today, let me play with you for three whole months! I’ll let him off the hook after that! If not, I’ll make sure he dies horribly!”Riggs chuckled coldly, no longer hiding his true intentions.Lola gritted her teeth. “I’ll give you as much money as you want! I’ll do everything I can for it!”“Money? You think that I need that with the status I have right now?”Riggs glared coldly at Lola, then moved to slap her.“Move! I’ll teach you a good lesson tonight!”Bam!However, Lola didn’t get slapped at all. Rather, Harvey grabbed Riggs’s hand. He then swung the back of his palm across Riggs’s face.Slap!The slap echoed loudly. Riggs stumbled a few steps back, covering his face in disbelief.A few Hoffmans changed expressions and stepped forward, wanting to teach Harvey a lesson.‘How dare this bastard slap Mr. Riggs in the face?’‘He even snuck up on him! Does he want to die?’‘He’s insane!’Slap! Sla
Rohan smiled faintly and made a gesture, signaling his subordinates from doing anything. Harvey’s fate had already been sealed when he went against Riggs.The beautiful women were showing disdain and mockery when looking at Harvey.‘As expected from filth like him! He doesn’t know what he’s up against!‘How dare he cause trouble in an event like this! He must have a death wish!’Lola tried speaking up, but Harvey quickly stopped her. He then tilted his head while squinting at Riggs.“Hey, old man. Are you planning to take advantage of me now?” he taunted.“Heh, heh, heh…”Riggs chuckled fearlessly. His eyes reflected his arrogance. “Let me tell you something, kid. In this world, there’s never such thing as taking advantage of things! Only true power means everything!“Are you furious?“How dare filth like you go against me! Ignorant fool! You won’t get another chance to regret your actions!”Riggs glared disdainfully at Harvey.Harvey nodded.“Fine. Since you’re going to
Riggs wasn’t an idiot.As an experienced man in the underworld, he knew exactly what it meant for Heaven’s Gate to pick a side. If he continued to go against Harvey, he’d be challenging Heaven’s Gate as well.He’d be digging his grave for doing something like that!After thinking about all this, he gave up despite his arrogant attitude.He was an experienced man in the underworld; someone like him understood foresight better than the young masters and princes there.He was conflicted. His fearless expression instantly froze at this very moment.Rohan’s expression changed as well. Blaine told him that Harvey was Representative York. He was told that a representative was just a nominal title without actual authority.Yet, everything in front of him was completely different from what he was told!‘Goddammit!’Rohan gritted his teeth; he could’ve crushed Harvey by now if they were in Kaneridge City.Harvey squinted at Rohan.“I don’t know what the rumors are outside…but I was th
After keeping the badge, Harvey wiped his fingers with some tissues. He crossed his arms as he moved forward calmly, ignoring Riggs.“Even Riggs wouldn’t dare let out a sound anymore. Who else wants to have a say?” he challenged.Riggs couldn’t help to speak up after hearing Harvey’s disrespectful words. “You do have a high status, sure. But you’re giving the country’s Martial Arts Alliance a bad reputation just by acting so arrogantly!”Harvey scoffed.“What’s that? You talk to me about power when I’m abiding by the rules. Now that I show you power, you’re talking to me about rules again?”Riggs’s face burned after hearing Harvey’s words.“I’ll report this to the Country H Martial Arts Alliance! You’ll definitely be removed from the position! An immoral man like you doesn’t deserve to be the representative!” he yelled. Harvey sighed.“Since you’re going to tarnish my reputation like that… Should I be a little more arrogant to fit your picture?”Harvey stepped forward, then k
The Hoffmans who looked down on Harvey had lost their arrogance. Seeing everything, they realized they’d suffer if they challenged Harvey.The beautiful women covered their mouths, afraid they’d be slapped if they spoke up.‘This bastard doesn’t look like he respects women at all!’“Good servants make way.”Harvey went to the platform after slapping a few more members of the Hoffman family. He finally got some peace.Only Rohan was left standing there, his expression horrible.Despite that, he didn’t step back at all; his palms almost bled from how hard he clenched his fists as he crossed his arms, but he still forced himself to put up a brave front.Harvey slowly approached Rohan while looking at him.“It’s only natural to pay your debts, Rohan,” he said while wiping his hands. “You framed me for no reason, threatening to put me behind bars for twenty years. Are you going to give me an explanation for this?”Rohan frowned while glaring furiously at Harvey.“Don’t think you c
“Don’t you get it, Harvey?!”Rohan was boiling with anger after hearing Harvey’s words. He slammed his hands on the table, furious.“I told you! I’m a mighty American! How dare you still go against me?“Do you think you’re impressive just because you crushed a few Indians?!“Let me tell you something! You’re nothing to us Americans!“As for you accusing me of slander and forging evidence to put you behind bars…“Unless you show some actual proof… A terrible fate awaits for you!“If you lay a finger on me, you’ll be going against the Hoffman family and America!“We’ll sanction Country H for this! Your country will pay a huge price because of your recklessness!”Rohan was getting a little desperate. He only revealed his identity as an American in hopes of crushing Harvey. Usually, those infatuated with outsiders would’ve instinctively kneeled by now.Many beautiful women were looking at Rohan with admiration.‘What a wonderful man! Normal people couldn’t stay so calm to crush
“This is slander, Harvey!” Rohan exclaimed after sensing the gazes on him.“Do you think you can just frame me for this?! Keep dreaming!”Rohan glared at Kalel.“You’re from the same family, Uncle! I’ll protect you, no matter what! Tell everyone that you were forced to say everything you did in the footage!”Kalel looked at Rohan, then glanced at Kairi. He instinctively shivered.“It’s not that I want to betray you, Young Master Rohan!“I didn’t mean to!“Ms. Kairi was too much! Not only did she figure out the poison I swallowed, she even formulated an antidote for it!“She added something to make my body itch. I’m in constant pain! This is a living hell!“I didn’t want to betray you, but I had no choice!“I can’t take it anymore! I’m sorry, Young Master Rohan! I’m sorry!”Kalel groveled in front of Rohan, shivering all the while. His simple action made everyone understand that everything he said on TV was true.This made his relationship with Rohan that much clearer. At th
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
