The Lloyd family wasn’t an ordinary family of martial artists, either—they had the support of sacred martial arts training grounds as well. Even the top ten families had no choice but to give them respect. None dared to go against the Lloyds.Blaine only managed to call Keegan here because he owed Master Morgraine a favor. If not for that, he probably wouldn’t be able to ask for Keegan’s help, especially with just his identity.Damon’s deputies quickly stepped forward, admiration evident on their faces, as if they were in the presence of a hero.Chanse and the others didn’t know who Keegan was. Judging from Damon’s attitude, they could sense that he had an extraordinary identity.Chanse then looked at Kurtis, confused. ‘Didn’t he say that he has a huge support? That’s clearly him… But why does he still look a little timid now?’He had a bad feeling.“You’re too kind, Mr. Damon.” Keegan nodded at Damon. “Sorry for disturbing you today.”Keegan instinctively looked at Harvey; hi
“Is there?”Damon showed a stern expression.“If that’s the case, then you should tell me. Here, nobody’s above the law!”Keegan nodded. “As it should! Even if this man is my sworn brother… He’ll have to pay a great price for his faults!”“Huh?”Chanse and the others froze; they didn’t understand what Keegan meant by that.Keegan glared coldly at Kurtis, who was standing behind him. “If you don’t get Madam Kairi and Consultant York’s apology today… You should just get yourself a burial spot.”Bam!Before everyone came to their senses, Kurtis took a step forward with a horrible expression. He slammed his knees on the ground in front of Harvey and Kairi.“Madam Kairi! Consultant York! I was ignorant! It was all my fault!”Kurtis groveled. His movements were intense; every single bang on the ground could be clearly heard.Everybody watched in silence, unable to react. Keegan crossed his arms.“Kurtis had a good relationship with me when we were younger. He helped me before,
“As expected from an elite like you, Mr. Damon. What a generous man! Even so, we have rules. The debt must always be repaid!”Keegan looked at Kairi with a stern expression.“Kurtis offended Madam Kairi, so I will only let this go with Madam Kairi’s permission.”Naturally, Keegan didn’t care about Damon’s opinion at all.This was the same as telling Damon that he had no right to decide upon the situation.Damon’s expression changed slightly. He didn’t think Keegan would completely ignore the first-in-command.With so many people here, he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He smiled at Kairi.“Oh, Kairi. We’re government officials. We represent the people’s benefit. We shouldn’t argue over something trivial!“Since you didn’t suffer any actual harm… Why don’t you give Mr. Kurtis a chance? How does that sound?”Naturally, Damon really wanted to get Kurtis out of the situation. Kurtis would then owe him a huge favor. Surely there would be a time when the stubborn man
“Remember this lesson!”Keegan stepped forward, then kicked Kurtis to the ground.“You should just stay away from Madam Kairi and Consultant York in the future.“You better thank Consultant York for only breaking your leg. If not, I would’ve gotten people to carry a coffin here by now!”Keegan’s calm words made Kurtis instinctively shiver. He knew that his biggest support was a man of his word.Chanse and the others had goosebumps after hearing those words. They finally understood that the underworld was a ruthless and decisive place.Harvey didn’t seem too bothered by this, though. He knew Keegan was just making a statement in front of him. Kurtis’s incident had nothing to do with him, after all.Kurtis kept banging his head on the ground after hearing those words.“Thank you, Madam Kairi! Thank you, Consultant York!“Other than to apologize, I came to prove my innocence as well!“I’m a perverted man, but I’m not stupid either!“I only acted that way because Chanse gave me
Kurtis pulled out his phone, and played a recording with a trembling hand. It was the phone conversation between him and Chanse.No matter how sharp Chanse’s tongue was, he had no way of refuting the situation anymore.Kairi’s eyes turned cold. “A government official, yet you work with outside forces to harm your superior… What a heinous man you are, Chanse!”Harvey glanced at Capri.“It’s time for you to do your job, Director Capri. If you don’t give us an explanation for the situation… You won’t get to keep your position for long!”Capri’s eyes twitched. Inwardly, she cursed Harvey.If Dragon Cell was involved, Chanse would probably get a chance to live… But making her take care of the situation would mean that the John family had to butt in.Handling the situation publicly would turn away the government officials and their families. However, playing favoritism would give Harvey and Kairi’s people a chance for to take over the John family through the government.No matter w
The land department spent three months trying to get the deal, but now, the contract was sent straight to the government without any effort.At this point, Kairi’s authority was completely solidified. The position of second-in-command was hers without question.After dealing with the relocation project and Chanse…Kairi was officially working.The departments she was in charge of were finally reporting to her. She was getting into the groove of her work, too.Harvey had no intention of getting involved; he was only sipping tea in the guest room.He stood up, ready to leave when he was finally done with his tea. He was excited to see just how Damon’s inauguration ceremony was going to go.The man had been suffering losses constantly.The John family wouldn’t just take all the humiliation without fighting back, either.-At dusk, Harvey decided to call a cab back to the Fortune Hall after seeing Kairi still working.As soon as he got out of the car, a figure came out of the sh
“What the? What happened?”Castiel, Leona, and the others ran out after hearing about the news. Everyone became angry after they understood the situation.“You’re talking about that woman, Sir York?!” Castiel exclaimed, gritting his teeth.“She begged me to help… And yet, she lied about every single thing that I asked! I didn’t think that she’d come back to cause you trouble! I’ll deal with her the next time I see her!”Castiel was clearly unhappy about Aleah.“It’s just a small problem. No need to get upset. We meet all sorts of odd people during work, anyway,” Harvey said.He waved his hand, signaling Castiel to calm down.“Is the woman special or something?” he asked curiously.Castiel scoffed.“It’s not that! It’s just completely unbelievable! Take a look here!Castiel stumbled inside before coming back out with a piece of red paper.“The Unbroken War… She’s only fifteen? She looks a lot older than that,” Harvey said. Castiel shook his head.“You’re mistaken, Sir York
At the same time…In the John family’s courtyard.Blaine crossed his arms. He stood on the terrace while looking at the pond in front of him. A fishing line and bait were next to him, but he wasn’t interested in fishing at all.Several security guards were standing behind him. They could tell that Blaine was in a bad mood, so they decided to keep their mouths shut.After a long while, Blaine’s eyes moved slightly. He sat in his chair.“You’re back, Your Holiness?” he said, smiling.“Yes.”Almost at the same time, a woman appeared on the terrace. She put her umbrella to the side before casually sitting beside Blaine, and gulped her wine down.She then licked her lips, as if she didn’t have enough.“You’ve met Harvey, didn’t you? What do you think?” Blaine sipped his tea before finally speaking up. At the same time, he lit up a scented candle. He narrowed his eyes while enjoying the fragrance.“I did,” Aleah replied. “I have to admit, he is quite the talented man. Not only is
