Cameron didn’t bother to hide his desires.That said, compared to a shameless man like Westley… Cameron was just a scumbag at most. After all, he didn’t like to force himself on others. He preferred to show kindness and make his object of affection willingly jump into his arms.Korbin’s eyes twitched frantically; he started to regret calling Cameron here. However, he had no choice but to go along since he already made his decision.He rolled his eyes before leading Cameron to Kairi. “Ms. Kairi, Sir York, this is Cameron Lloyd. He belongs to a well-known family of martial artists.“Cameron’s my sworn brother! He’s a true expert martial artist! He came here to help.“This is the lady of the Patel family. You two should get to know each other.“This here is Harvey York. He’s a good friend of Ms. Kairi.”Korbin didn’t reveal Harvey’s other identity, showing a profound look.Harvey calmly glanced at Korbin, before reaching out his hand. “Hello.”“Hi.” Cameron frowned, but didn’
Bam!A loud sound was heard.Cameron’s hand was blocked by Harvey.“What’s the meaning of this, Young Master Cameron?” Harvey asked, squinting at Cameron.Kairi frowned. “I’m grateful you’re here to help… But Harvey’s a guest here. The Patel family will get angry if you decide to take action against him.”Cameron was clearly a bit unhappy after hearing Kairi’s words.“I wasn’t doing anything to him. I only wanted to see what kind of talent Sir York here has to provoke the Islanders.“He seems a little capable, at least. It’d be fine if he only showed off in front of ordinary people, but… He must be joking if he’s going against a sword saint like Yuri!“I don’t know how he managed to get out of the situation the last time… But with my years of experience, I can tell that I can take Harvey out with a single move if I really want to!”“I’m warning you, Harvey. You should be a little more discreet,” Cameron said with a bitter look.“Life isn’t like what you see in the movies. Yo
“Let me teach you a lesson here. Yuri was an outstanding expert of the Abito Way when he was young! He was considered one of the Island Nations’ top talents!”Cameron crossed his arms, looking as if he was educating an ignorant subordinate.“After he got famous, he didn’t become the head of the Abito Way, but he was still the Supreme Elder. This should be enough to show his talent and ability!“Right, let me tell you something. My father sparred against Yuri back in the Island Nations before. After exchanging three hundred or so moves, Yuri barely lost!“You should understand just how terrifying he is now, don’t you?“He didn’t take you out back in the hotel because he was just testing you. He wanted to see how impressive you actually were to go against the Islanders.“If he was even a bit more serious, you would’ve been dead by now.”Cameron looked at Harvey with a bitter expression.“Why would you go against someone that impressive? Your fate is now sealed.”Harvey casually
“Of course, Yuri is a grandmaster with a reputation at stake!“How about this?“If Yuri won’t let this go, then you should just grovel in front of him for forgiveness!“As long as you’re sincere, with the Lloyd family’s reputation… Yuri wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you!”Cameron looked as if Harvey was getting a good deal out of the situation.At the same time, he waved his hand. Someone brought over an elegant-looking wooden box. An old scripture was seen inside the box, with Harvey labeled as a servant inside.Cameron pointed at the name on the page with an arrogant expression.“Listen here, Harvey! Sign this! Let everyone know that you’re a part of the Lloyd family!”“Don’t feel embarrassed, Sir York!” Korbin said, as if he was going along with Cameron’s idea.“This is only nominal. The Lloyd family wouldn’t actually treat you like a servant!“Consider this a band-aid solution! When we deal with the situation, we’ll figure out how to remove your name from the pedigree aga
“Let me tell you something too,” Harvey replied.“I’m not interested. I don’t need your help, either. But if you keep yapping, I’ll slap you aside.”“Slap me?” Cameron said. He chuckled angrily, clearly amused by Harvey’s ignorance.“Do you know how many people tried to be servants of the Lloyd family, but never got the chance? You’re given the opportunity now, yet you don’t know how to cherish it?!“You don’t understand! It’s a blessing for you and your entire family!“Let me put it this way! Once you lose the chance, you won’t get anything similar for the rest of your life!”“I’m really not interested. Stop being delusional already. If you really like to have servants, why don’t you get Korbin to be one instead?“He’s your sworn brother, and your lackey. You can do anything you want with him.”Harvey then turned around and left.He couldn’t speak reason with an arrogant man like Cameron, nor could he slap Cameron around. So, he decided to just stay away instead.“Bastard…
“Right, let me remind you something. You better not resist like last time. You’d die horribly if you do!”Yuri crossed his arms, sporting a determined look.“Is that so? That won’t be good. It’d be hard for you to be buried if you died that way. Make sure you die less horribly, okay?” Harvey retorted.“Heh.”Yuri chuckled coldly.“I’ve seen a lot of idiots in my life, but you’re the biggest one out of all of them! Since you want to die that badly, then don’t blame me for what happens next!”Yuri touched his long sword, slowly approaching closer to Harvey. His men quickly spread out, not giving the Patel family a chance to use their firearms.Korbin quickly pulled out his phone to call for rescue, but there was no signal.He seemed gleeful when he saw Harvey about to be crushed, but he was still trying to put up a fake front.“Save Sir York, Cameron! No matter how stubborn he is, he’s still our guest! It’d be too embarrassing for the family if he dies here!”Cameron looked smu
“That’s right!”Cameron crossed his arms with a prideful expression.“You should know that the Lloyd family has nothing to hide, Grandmaster Yuri!“Harvey is our servant!“I know you’re strong, but it’s only natural for the family to protect him as well!“I believe you’ll give us your respect, for the sake of my father and the family!“Of course, I wouldn’t let Harvey get away with going against you scot-free either!“I’ll make him grovel, so we can bury the hatchet!“We’ll settle everything here! There’ll be no grudges after that!”Cameron then glared at Harvey.“Grovel already! Give Grandmaster Yuri an explanation! Give yourself a chance to survive! Stop being so stubborn!”It was clear that Cameron assumed that he had control over the entire situation.Harvey looked at Cameron as if the man was an idiot.“Who do you think you are? Why don’t you take a look in the mirror first before saying that? Do you think you even have the right to say such a thing?” Harvey said.Ca
Naturally, Cameron thought he had already given Harvey enough respect…And yet, Harvey still acted this pompously without gauging his own ability.Cameron wouldn’t allow someone to be more impressive than him. That was why he hoped for Harvey to give up.“Since you did this out of goodwill, I won’t slap you aside. If you were someone else, you would’ve been dead by now. You understand?” Harvey said.Cameron chuckled angrily after hearing Harvey’s words.“Oh? Do you think you’re actually impressive or something?“Do you realize just how many people would want to be servants for the family? Do you know the kind of suffering people endured just for a chance to be a part of us?“Besides, a lot of these people are heirs of wealthy families! They pride themselves on being a part of the family! It’s your greatest blessing to be a part of us!“You should be serving the family well so you can earn our protection! Your ancestors have been praying for such an opportunity for the longest t
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
