“Ask them about their identity.”Harvey York casually sat on a wooden stake with a calm expression on his face.The gangster leading the others was struggling while he tilted his head up to glance at Harvey, he could not believe what he saw.He had already figured out that Tyson Woods should be the daring and ferocious man that had recently joined the streets of Buckwood.But that ferocious man was being so respectful toward Harvey as docile as a sheep.‘The young man seemed unremarkable at best .Where did he come from?’Tyson walked up toward the gangster leader and grabbed him by his neck and lifted him off the ground with his body suspended in the air.“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything! Old Niner sent us!”The gangster leader was so scared that he almost peed his pants. His men had all of their legs crippled. If he dared to run his mouth after this, he believed that they would end his life right there and then.“So you’re under Old Niner. Alright then, I’ll give him
“You bastard! You…”A gangster had rushed forward in fury. Tyson Woods flung out a throwing knife with the flick of his arm and the knife had gotten stuck in the gangster’s face.The gangster started to howl while covering his face. At the same time, Tyson swung his arm once again and caught a small throwing knife in the palm of his hand, casually placing the knife on Old Niner’s throat.Old Niner immediately came to his senses.The man in front of him was ruthless. If he could, he would’ve ended Old Niner’s life already.Without a second thought, Old Niner threw his hands up in the air and said, “Let’s talk it out, Brother Tyson. We all live on the streets and we see each other almost every day! Cut me some slack, would you?”Old Niner was not a mindless thug. If he did not give in at that moment, he was basically looking for death!Tyson did not utter a single word and gave a wide grin, then signaled with a wave of his hand.In the next moment, a crowd of people rushed out fr
Harvey York took the phone and looked at the contents.This was a foreign number, but there were mission tasks under the number.The task that person wanted Old Niner to do was simple and that was to force the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort to end their project along with removing Mandy Zimmer from her position as the CEO.Harvey immediately used Old Niner’s phone to call the person.After a moment, a deep but dignified voice echoed from the other side. “Old Niner, didn’t I tell you to not contact me directly?“What of the Prince’s task?”Harvey calmly said, “What do you think?”Click… The other person instantly hung up on the phone.“Sir York, is the person…”Harvey did not need to call the person back and threw the phone to the ground.“The Silvas,” Harvey said calmly.Tyson Woods curiously asked, “Sir York, how are you so sure?”“Because there are only two people in Buckwood that would dare to call themselves the Prince.“Prince York…“And the so-called Prince Silva
The next day, Mandy Zimmer came to the construction site along with Simon Zimmer and the construction workers. They were shocked at the sight before them.It was because the construction site was bustling with activity.The buildings that were torn down two days ago were all rebuilt that day.The more terrifying part was that the people that were fumbling around and carrying bricks were the gangsters that were all covered with tattoos along with murderous intent.“Aren’t these the gangsters from before?”Mandy could not believe what she saw at that moment. It would already be good enough if the gangsters would stop causing a ruckus, but they actually helped to transport the bricks around the site.“What is going on here?”Mandy and the others were pondering.At that moment, a man wearing a black suit ran toward Mandy along with his men.The sight of them running toward Mandy and the others had made them extremely terrified.When Mandy was about to call the police, Old Niner t
At that moment, a large crowd was kneeling on the beach behind Leon Silva.They were all wearing outfits from medieval times, ancient yet extravagant.In this era, it would seem bizarre and mysterious to have a scene as such.After a long while, at the wave of his hand, one of Leon’s men had handed him an ancient hunting bow.He bent and shot with his bow, but it was not an arrow that flew out but a fishing spear.Along with what seemed like the sound of thunder, a pool of blood came out of the surface of the ocean after a moment.The hunt exclusively for Prince Silva had ended.He put down his bow and wiped his palm with an exquisite embroidered silk handkerchief repeatedly for forty-nine whole times. Then, he tilted his head up and looked back at the crowd and said, “Stand.”“All hail the prince!”The crowd stood up in order while still keeping their hands bent on the side. The scene was more grandeur than the one with Quinton York.At that moment, people were lining up in
“If it were a long time ago, he would be quite impressive…“But now, not necessarily…”“You mean…” Brent Silva asked shyly while bending his body.Leon Silva had shown a spark of revelation in his eyes, then calmly said, “Buckwood only needs one prince.“Since I am present, there will be no need for Prince York to exist any longer.”The whole Silva family showed their eyes full of excitement.They laid dormant for years, was the prince finally ready to make a move?Leon did not say another word. He turned around and looked toward the direction of the Silver Nimbus Mountain.People with ambition will always succeed in anything they do.If people try their hardest, even the heavens would not disappoint them.***On the next day, in the temporary site office of the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort, Zack Zimmer and Quinn Zimmer came together to look for Mandy Zimmer.Mandy looked at the two and asked, “What’s the matter?”“I heard that there’s a gang boss that was looking for tro
Slap!Old Niner swung his backhand forward right across Zack Zimmer’s face to the point where he was too disoriented.But he would not dare to retaliate, nor would he spout more nonsense. He said sheepishly, “Master Niner, it’s my fault… I was blind…“Please give me your instructions…”Zack was already slightly afraid.It would be a little too easy for a character like Old Niner to rid himself of existence.He was still showing off in front of Quinn Zimmer before, but as soon as he recognized the identity of Old Niner, he would not dare to let out a fart.Quinn was dead silent even though she was about to marry into the Silva family. Her status would be extraordinary.But still she was as terrified!What if the gangsters here were to defile her? What right would she have to be married into the Silvas?That was the main reason why she was more terrified than Zack at that moment.Old Niner did not even bat an eye at Zack and bent his hands in front of Mandy, then respectfully
“Sure.”Harvey York nodded, initially he wanted Yvonne Xavier to send a car over.But he was deep in thought about himself asking her to work but without doing anything himself. She already had to work night and day for him.Since Tara Lewis offered him a ride, it would be best to take up on her offer.Tara was secretly delighted when Harvey was entering her car.In her eyes, Harvey was a wealthy yet discreet man.Even though there weren’t many wealthy people in the whole of Buckwood, there weren’t that few either.A lot of wealthy people still preferred to go shopping while wearing pajamas and sandals.Since they had the money, whatever they do would naturally be normal anyway.Then, the car quietly drove out of the garage.Tara curiously asked while driving the car, “Harvey, you aren’t just someone’s live-in son-in-law for the three whole years, right?“Were you actually planning to rise to the top with some grand scheme?”Harvey was a bit surprised, that was the first ti
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
