Bam!An exquisite-looking antique vase was shattered all over the ground.The 1.7 million dollar antique instantly turned to dust. It was a heartbreaking sight.Blaine John looked at the shards on the ground with a gloomy expression while his entire body twitched nonstop.Capri John stood still with a horrified look. She started panicking when she looked at the broken shards around the place.“You’re saying the Locke Financial Group went for Harvey.“And because of you arriving…“Not only did Harvey manage to remain unscathed, we also have to detain those people?“We even need to inform them to pay three hundred million dollars as compensation to that bastard…“Or they’ll also be charged with an offense?”Capri gritted her teeth.“Harvey’s just too crafty, Young Master John!“He knows this is a crucial time for the head’s rise to power, and we won’t allow any scandals to happen within the family!“Don’t worry!“I’ll teach him a lesson when the inauguration ceremony’s over
The sight was highly tempting, but the people around would not even dare take a glance despite their rapid breathing.They knew that they had no right to lay their fingers on such a goddess of a woman.She was none other than the one Harvey York completely disrespected in public, Karina Joyner.Behind her, there was an Islander with an ashen face.Ibuki Masato!The current person in charge of the Tsuchimikado family!The Islanders had been holding themselves back after suffering huge losses against Harvey. It felt as if they had already forgotten the entire incident.Nobody expected Ibuki to even show up with Karina.After all, it was only natural.Seventy years ago, the Islanders had turned into lackeys for the Americans after they used a nuclear weapon on the Island Nations.No matter what kind of royal family the Island Nations had, they had no choice but to kneel in the presence of America.That said, Ibuki seemed different compared to the rest of the Islanders.He dari
Ibuki Masato showed a faint smile.“Ms. Karina.“It’s not that Blaine’s trying to go against us.“Harvey York was planning to upload the footage of the entire incident online.“The John family had no other choice.“That said, Harvey’s pretty limited no matter how impressive he is.“If you want his head…“I’m willing to be of your service.”“Right!Karina raised Ibuki’s jaw with her finger before lightly touching his cheek with her lips.“I’ll grant you any wish if you do.“This is what you want, isn’t it?”-On the next day, after dealing with the Locke Financial Group and getting three hundred million dollars as compensation…Inside the Patel family’s building, the Patel Foundation.This was the headquarters of all Patel family’s businesses…And also currently Kairi Patel’s place of work.Her office was filled with elegant white marble.A few yellow flower pear wood racks were placed in the corners of the walls, filled with all kinds of invaluable antiques.Even som
“Ms. Kairi. Someone sent you a package. Seems like same-day delivery.”The office door was pushed open, and Korbin Patel walked inside.All five major branches of the family were under the main branch’s control.But because of the current situation, the other princes made all sorts of excuses to return to their homes.Korbin was the only one who stayed to support Kairi Patel.As for Elias Patel, Kairi would not use the ace up her sleeve unless she was truly desperate.“You don’t need to do all this, Prince Korbin. I do have people who do that for me.”Kairi showed a strange expression after glancing at Korbin.The entire family realized Harvey York was only pretending to be Kairi’s fiance.That was why Korbin constantly tried to be on Kairi’s good side.Kairi did not know how to feel about that.After all, it would be wrong to assume since Korbin had yet to make any clear advances.“I’m the vice CEO here. Ultimately, I’m here to support you.“I’d be worried if I let someon
Kairi Patel looked horrible.“Do you think I’d accept your conditions just because of your threats?”“Threats?Westley Wright let out a chuckle.“You must be mistaken!“I’m only professing my love!“I’ve researching your past the best I could!“Your classmates, friends, and the best friend who turned against you…“These people come from all over the world, and they don’t even know your true identity…“It’s a little challenging to find them that way!“I’m planning to send all of them invitations for our event.“They’ll be rewarded with a hundred and fifty thousand dollars each.“Either they attend our wedding, or they turn into corpses…“How would you choose, Ms. Kairi?”Westley’s calm words were filled with an unbridled cruelty.He was not expressing any threats, yet a murderous intent could still be felt.“Do you think I’d follow your bidding just because you’re threatening me using all these people?”Westley burst out laughing.“As expected of the Poison Fairy!“I
Kairi Patel looked at Korbin Patel before she spoke.“Right. Even if nothing was done after we called the authorities, at least Dragon Cell or the Dragon Guards would intervene.“Dragon Palace will also assist the ships in the Carribean…“But, in reality, there’s no point.“At any rate, Westley Wright wouldn’t be locked behind bars just because of something he said over a phone call.“We’d only make him more arrogant and fearless!“It’s better if we deal with the source of the problem.Korbin briefly pondered about the situation.“Indeed. It’s better to cut off the snake’s head anyway…”Kairi quickly changed the subject.“Do we know Westley’s weakness yet?”“I’ve looked into it,” replied Korbin.“He’s Emery Wright’s trusted subordinate. His biggest support is naturally Emery’s trust.“After all, the Wright family has an extraordinary status. Only a selected few would have Emery’s respect.“If Westley were to lose Emery’s trust, he’d be no different than a stray dog.“Oth
On the next day, in the evening. A Ferrari 488 was parked in front of the Fortune Hall.When the car window rolled down, a beautiful figure was seen casually pressing on the horn.Harvey York came out in casual clothing before pulling on the car door.“Westley called again.“He said he prepared a surprise for me.“He wants me to be there on time.“He seems pretty confident…”Kairi Patel glared disdainfully.In her mind, she would rather die than let Westley Wright take advantage of her.Harvey casually took a sip of soda from the passenger’s seat before pondering about the situation.“Since he’s that confident, then that means he’s prepared.“Looks like we’ll have a big show happening tonight.”Kairi cracked a smile.“What? Are you scared?”Harvey glanced at Kairi’s waist before noticing the outlines of a firearm but chose not to say anything about it.“If I’m fearless enough to help you deal with the situation…“How are you planning to thank me next?” he asked with a s
“Let them go?Westley Wright raised his head, showing an odd smile with a hazy look.“I never captured them in the first place.“But don’t worry…“When we’re done with our wedding, they can leave with the money in their pockets.“Maybe if I get into a good mood, I’ll buy them a house in the cities they live in so they wouldn’t need to work so hard for the rest of their lives.Westley set his glass down before talking again.“You’re doing them a huge favor here!“Attending a wedding for this many benefits…“This is a blessing for them!”Kairi Patel frowned with a horrible look. She did not expect Westley to pull anything like this.“Who’s that behind you? Didn’t I tell you to come alone?”Westley glanced at Harvey York, but did not recognize him since he was quite far away.“Are you worried I might need help playing with you when I run out of breath?“If that’s the case, then there’s no need.“The women beside me are the best at doing just that!”The women beside Westley
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
