“Go! Get him!”The Islanders pulled out their long swords, and stepped forward.Harvey ignored them, and kept walking.Without giving the Islanders a chance, Rachel took a step forward and waved her hand, revealing a firearm. She pulled the trigger at the approaching Islanders.Bang, bang, bang!The four Islanders in front didn’t have time to react; blood spurted out of their chests, and they fell to the ground, paralyzed.The rest of them froze after seeing how ruthless Rachel was.Rachel stomped on the ground before they came to their senses. A loud crack was heard. The tiles on the ground shattered and flew straight forward, puncturing the throats of two more Islanders at the front, and they fell. “Aaargh!”The rest of the Islanders froze in place after seeing Rachel’s terrifying wrath.They believed they were fearless…However, that could only be applied when other people died. Facing a life-or-death situation themselves, they’d naturally be scared witless as well.
Harvey gently lifted the ends of Mandy’s hair.“What kind of consequences would there be?” he asked“You may not know this, but the cruise is owned by the subordinate Coraal Revered’s subordinate, Aleah Kennedy!“Aleah isn’t here tonight, but her best fighter, the pride of the Island Nations, Ito Tanaka, is!“You’ve disrespected Evermore, and you even killed our men!“You’ll pay a great price for your arrogance!” Tenma yelled. Harvey scratched his ear, then looked at Shepard.“Is that guy impressive? I’ve never heard of him before.”Shepard smiled.“You may not know this, but Ito belongs to the head of the Six Schools of Martial Arts, the Tenzin Way.“He’s a direct descendant of the Tanaka family, and has been perfecting his swordsmanship since he was a child.“If it wasn’t for him joining Evermore, he would’ve been well-known as one of the top ten talents in the Island Nations.”“So he’s just some nobody,” Harvey said. He then glanced at Tenma.“My wife’s about to wake
Ito’s emotionless words were filled with murderous intent.The glasses around the cabin shattered instantly.It was enough to show just how terrifying he was. It was as if the place would be filled with corpses if he was enraged.Tenma instantly kneeled on the ground and exclaimed, “Mr. Ito! It’s not that I’m trying to disturb you! An ignorant man’s trying to go against you!”“Is that so?”Ito squinted, before slowly turning around. His body had not moved, but his head managed to turn all the way back.After staring at Harvey for a moment, he looked at Shepard.“I was wondering who it was,” he said, his face a profound expression.“It’s Shepard of the twelfth branch!“Gangnam’s been your territory the entire time, but not Golden Sands, right?“Besides, the Evercruise doesn’t have anything to do with you now, does it?“How dare you come and cause trouble to our territory? Aren’t you scared?“I might just put you out of your misery for doing this, you know?”The guests shive
Ito frowned.“I don’t like Blaine…but I have no intention of betraying Her Holiness.“You people, on the other hand… How dare you cause trouble in the territory I’m in charge of? Have you considered the consequences you’ll suffer?”Harvey glanced at Shepard with a faint smile, ignoring Ito.“He’s that old lady’s lackey? Are you people that special?”Shepard’s eyes twitched; he didn’t think that Harvey would provoke Ito like this.As expected, Ito’s face darkened instantly; his calm demeanor was instantly shattered by those words.“You’re brave, Harvey,” he hissed, glaring coldly. “How dare you cause trouble here and disrespect Her Holiness?!“You’re provoking us right now! Do you want to die?!“I’ve been in the underworld for ten years, and I’ve never seen someone as arrogant as you!”Ito sighed.“You must have a death wish!”“Looks like you people are all the same, ignorant and arrogant.“The Tenzin Way? Do you think you’re actually impressive?”Ito’s eyes twitched aft
Shepard wasn’t good with martial arts, but he was still a doctor.He saw that Ito almost managed to use all of his body’s strength on his swing.It was simply terrifying!He believed that even if the Four Goliaths under his service banded together, they would barely be able to repel the attack.He let out a sigh.There was still a huge difference between Evermore’s branches, to say the least.Shepard and his men were clearly inferior compared to Aleah and hers.Even Ito was a tough opponent to deal with.Whether to defend himself or to make progress, Shepard knew he had no choice but to be in Harvey’s good graces.Clang!Ito’s attack was as fast as lightning. Nobody could tell where he was swinging his sword at…As soon as the blade was about to make contact with Harvey’s face, Harvey flicked it away lightly.Ito’s sword froze midair.An immense power surged through the blade into his body.His expression changed, and his sword shattered into pieces. The seams of his fing
“Of course!“I am!”Ito Tanaka’s mouth twitched for a moment before he gritted his teeth.He was filled with resentment, but he knew full well.No matter how much he tried, he would not be a match against Harvey York.He waved his hand, signaling for the Islanders, scared witless, to kneel before he did the same.It was nothing for the Islanders to kneel.The so-called Bushido Spirit was just a means to fool outsiders.Soon after, Harvey calmly glanced at Tenma Hayabusa.“What are you planning to do now?“Fight back? Or are you going to kneel as well?”Tenma’s mouth twitched when he slammed his knees to the ground, gritting his teeth.‘This is ridiculous! Even a prominent figure like Ito is nothing before Harvey!‘Let alone me!‘Not just the entire cruise…‘Even Her Holiness probably wouldn’t be able to deal with Harvey!‘At this point, his strength is exceeding everyone’s expectations!’“Good.Harvey showed a smile.“I have two things to accomplish here.“Number on
“It must be for this.Mandy Zimmer pulled out a picture on her phone before handing it to Harvey York.Harvey froze after seeing the picture.“It’s just an ordinary Two-Eyed Bead, right?”“No, this is the legendary Bright-Eyed Bead.”“One of the Nine-Eyed Beads left by the founder of the Origin Sect?”Harvey had already been very well-versed in antique appraisal, but he did not use it as a means to make money.That said, it was clear to him that the bead’s quality of wax, porcelain, and craftsmanship was extraordinary.It was not something that could be imitated by future generations either.It was safe to say that only the Nine-Eyed Beads would have similar qualities to each other.Harvey put his phone down before he started muttering to himself.“According to the records, the founder was a practitioner of great merits.“He was the one who made the legendary beads before he buried them.“He knew there would be a downfall to his sect, and it would rise again if all nine be
On the next day, the entire city was bustling with lights.Everyone knew it was the day of Damon John’s inauguration ceremony.For some reason, the position of the city’s second-in-command was handed over to the Patel family…However, since Damon integrated the government and business corporations into one, it was enough to prove the John family’s strength and the people’s acknowledgment of the family.At dusk, Harvey York rubbed his temples as he walked out of the Fortune Hall.He had been thinking of ways to help Mandy Zimmer so she would not get involved with the Two-Eyed Bead.That said, she had been extremely stubborn.Not only was she persistent in continuing her journey outskirts, but she also kept telling Harvey not to butt in as well.If he did, she would break off with him completely.After a heated altercation, Harvey walked out of the Fortune Hall when he was just done telling Rachel Hardy to keep an eye on Mandy.On one hand, he wanted to give them both some spac
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
"All of us were ready to commit suicide for the 50 million A dollars!""We even sold out our country, meaning we could never return to the Island Nations!""You either give us all the money back, or we'll never stop hounding you for it!" All the Islanders were extremely furious.In truth, the Islanders who were paragons of unity and love were ordinary people in the end and could be swayed by profit. Without the money, they wouldn't have given such a performance.Linus couldn't help but shudder when he saw all the Islanders looking at him with murderous intent, as if a pack of wolves were glaring at him, with the intent to kill. "Stop making such wild accusations!" he cried. "While I really did pay to tell you to work, all I did was give you 10,000 dollars! And that's not A dollars, but H dollars. As for paying all of you 50 million dollars per person… Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm willing to pay so much just so you'll frame Yvonne? Why don't you consider if you're w
The phones of all the Islanders who were willing to commit suicide started to vibrate. All the Islanders who were in their righteous fury took out their phones. When they saw the content on the screen, they roared—they were so angry that they almost went mad.They instantly got up from the ground, their eyes bloodshot. All of them glared at Linus, as if wanting to tear him apart. The reporters and spectators were a little shocked, and instinctively took a few steps back. It was obvious that they felt a murderous intent.Before anyone could react, Nomura waved his hand. All the Islanders surrounded Linus and his men. Linus frowned slightly. "What do you all want?""Fools!" Nomura immediately aimed his longsword at Linus. "Don't you people from Country A call yourself a civilized world? That obeying the contract is important to you? Why did you suddenly break the contract when we've done everything you asked us to do?"The other Islanders all looked at Linus with a murderous expres
Linus wore a victor's smile. The reason he looked for Tojo Nomura earlier was to accuse Yvonne and the Xavier family on the spot, to make sure they would be accused of being traitors.He didn't expect a little money to be enough to make them act. Good, good. All he could say was that no matter how powerful or barbaric the Islanders were, they were nothing before the great people of country A. Not to mention, he had already given them their rewards. Even if he didn't, the Islanders still had to act as he ordered.Yvonne frowned. Of course, she knew that nothing the Islanders said was true—merely defamation. The problem was that she couldn't understand why someone like Nomura, who was a disciple of Shinto Way, had to make up such lies.The moment that thought crossed her mind, Yvonne looked coldly at Linus and said, "Just how much did you give them to the point they're willing to sell their country?""Tsk! You think that's enough to scare me?" Linus smiled wryly. "Everybody knows h
Very quickly, many Islanders ran to the stage. All of them were wearing the Islanders' traditional summer garb. The way they stood and the way they lifted their beard made them easily identifiable as Islanders.According to how unified Islanders were, everything they said would most likely be true.When Linus saw what was happening, sat down and folded his legs. His sexy secretary helped him light up a cigar. He took a deep breath, then looked at the unfolding scene with interest.Very quickly, the Islander leading the men took a step forward and said angrily, "Everyone! I'm Shinto Way's disciple, Tojo Nomura. I'm also the leader of the disciples still in Country H. "A few days ago, the Xaviers of Wolsing requested a marriage with our Young Master, Shingen. They have also signed a lot of contracts with us. Some of them include how Shinto Way will transfer the shares of our assets in Country H to them, while they will have to transfer ownership of their business on the Island Natio
When Yvonne saw Linus pulling out things they shouldn't and even giving them to the reporters, she instantly realized that he cared little about the consequences anymore.What he did was to ensure the Xaviers were blamed for everything. Even if he gained nothing from it, he still wanted to do it just so the Xaviers would have a hard time in Country H. He even wanted to use this to make both Country H and the Island Nation to force them to publicly deal with Shingen's death.Harvey, who caused all of this, would be in a lot of trouble. Yvonne looked at Linus coldly. "Linus, you know that taking things out of context and making up stories won't be beneficial to you. Where's your conscience?""Conscience? What's that?" Linus said with an exaggerated expression. "I'm not the one who killed Shingen. It's you Xaviers of Wolsing and the prospective son-in-law you wanted. Are you afraid others will find out? I'm just someone who knew the truth with a righteous heart!"I can't bear to see
The faces of Yvonne and the others from the Xaviers all shifted a little. It was obvious they didn't expect an Islander to appear. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at all of this coldly.Journi, who was a little bit surprised, turned to Harvey subconsciously. "What's going on?""We're simply giving the full package. The most difficult part of all of this was to explain why the Islanders would give up. Rather than waiting for others to expose the truth, why don't we give everyone the truth?" Harvey said calmly."What do you mean?" Journi said with a frown. "Simple. While these people are Islanders, they'll work for money. In this situation, the words of an Islander are more effective than the words of a hundred people from Country H…"Journi was curious about what Harvey wanted to do, but then some of the reporters realized what was happening. "Are these allegations from the Islanders true? Did you really assassinate Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, who wanted to improve the relationship
