Everyone froze after hearing Harvey’s words.Because of their countless failures in Country H, the Islanders had put in a lot of hard work into the outskirts. For them, the outskirts was an important bridgehead.The Kawashima used all of its forces for that very goal. That was why they were considered a force to be reckoned with in the outskirts.Together with the existence of international disputes, nobody would dare go against the Islanders in the first place.Even the four great tribes and the Wolven Tribe would have to show respect.Yet, Harvey was acting in such an arrogant manner. Not only did he completely disrespect the Aenar Temple… He talked down the Islanders as well!‘He doesn’t even care about them being Islanders? Is he just confident? Or does he lack self-awareness?’“Perfect timing, Ms. Nanako!” Mr. Kennedy exclaimed, looking pale. “This bastard’s being extremely arrogant! Not only did he beat up your boyfriend, but he also crippled the protector who tried to
Harvey smiled at Nanako.“So you’re not going to ask what this live-in son-in-law of yours did? You don’t want to know why I’m taking him away?”“No! There’s simply no need for that!”Nanako shot him a cold and prideful look.“The moment he became the family’s live-in son-in-law, no laws of this country can do anything to him—no matter what he did wrong!“If you’re unhappy about it, then report this to the Island Nations!“Do you have any contact information for the country? If not, I can give you one here.”Harvey showed her a profound smile.“What? You don’t dare?”Nanako scoffed; she thought that Harvey was just afraid.“If that’s the case, then stop yapping already!“You insult and beat up the Kawashima family’s live-in son-in-law in front of everyone!“As the current person in charge of the family in the outskirts, I have the right to take you down, for the sake of our interests!”Harvey chuckled.“I have no right to take your live-in son-in-law away in my own countr
Harvey didn’t seem fazed at all when he saw the swordsmen surrounding him completely.“Do you have Stefan’s number?” he asked, looking at Romina. “Call him.”Romina froze before pulling out her phone.“Of course.”She started dialing a number.Nanako scoffed after seeing that.“What’s this? Are you begging Stefan for forgiveness? Let me tell you something! No favor is bigger than the Kawashima family! Stefan would never help you!”Harvey glared at Nanako.“What makes you think I’m going to beg for his mercy? I just want to see if he’s really planning to go against me for some woman of the Island Nations.”Nanako froze before scoffing again.“You’re questioning Stefan? Do you know just how powerful the consuls are in the outskirts? You’d have to kneel when you run into him! He might not bat you an eye after that!”“Maybe it’s the other way around.”“Oh? The other way around?” Nanako chuckled coldly. “Are you saying that Stefan will kneel to you?”“That’s right.”“Keep pret
Whitley froze.She didn’t think that Harvey would dare speak up like this in front of Stefan.Did Harvey have a powerful identity?Maybe he belonged to a family more impressive than the outskirts’ York family. Maybe he was from the Yorks of Hong Kong!If that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t act like this in front of Stefan in the first place!Billie’s eyes twitched; she couldn’t understand the man in front of her at all.After thinking back for a moment, Nanako realized that Stefan had never been this respectful toward her, like the way he was to Harvey.“It’s nothing.”Harvey seemed quite casual about the situation.“I heard that you’ve been supporting the Kawashima family, and signed a few cooperation agreements.“A woman called Nanako is planning to drag me back to the Island Nations for a trial.“She said that it’s because of me trying to drag Asher away. She said that you’re supporting her actions as well.“Oh, Stefan. I didn’t mind you getting Asher to go against me… We’
Nanako was shivering, her face horrible.This was the Aenar Temple’s turf; Stefan definitely had the highest status here… And yet, Harvey managed to make him stand down with just his sharp tongue!‘What now? Am I really going to take action here? What if Stefan decides to go against me for his own benefit?’Nanako wasn’t scared of Harvey at all… But Stefan was a different story.Harvey kept tapping Nanako’s face. Her expression became more and more twisted.“What’s wrong? Are you scared? You don’t want to do it anymore?”Harvey chuckled.“Get your swordsmen to do the job already! Tell your ninjas to come at me!“I swear that I won’t fight back! But do you even have the courage to give the order?”Nanako’s eyes twitched. “Don’t get too cocky, you bastard!”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm forward, slapping her.“So what if I’m being cocky?”He quickly turned around, sending the swordsmen flying with a single slap each.“If slapping you in the face is considered cock
Those who came out from the back to watch the show gasped instantly.A man clad in white linen slowly turned, standing in the shadows of the entrance. His clothes seemed quite plain; he had a gentle look on his face, and he didn’t seem that tall.However, he looked as if the entire world revolved around him by just standing there.He seemed to have blended with the sky completely. If Harvey didn’t say anything, nobody would’ve known of his existence.Aryan smiled before showing a haughty look on his face.“Let me introduce you, Sir York.“This is a master of the Island Nations who came to exchange teachings with the Aenar Temple—Takai Kawashima!“Mr. Takai is an outstanding man in the martial arts world. His achievements are simply impressive!“He lost against the Great Wall by a single move… But he still looked up to Mr. Takai even so!“Given time, he’ll be considered one of the top ten talents of the Island Nations!”Everyone gasped.Power meant everything to the people of
Everyone gasped after seeing Takai’s slap.Only the experienced ones would understand what happened. By condensing his aura and launching it forward, that was how he slapped Asher.Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to learn something like this. Judging from that move alone, Takai’s training and talent were on another level.“Interesting.”Harvey chuckled.“People of the Island Nations put their swordsmanship first; the samurais there are no different.“But you actually managed to learn something like this. It’s not perfect, but it’s enough to tell that you’ve learned a lot.“Still, people like you have one thing in common: you’re a master of none.“Am I wrong?”Takai raised his head to look at Harvey, smiling faintly.“You talk like you know your stuff, kid. That said, it can’t hide the fear in your heart.“You know full well… That you can’t even get close to me.“I looked into you just now. You managed to take down Henrik’s disciple, making others think that you’re almost o
“It’d be bad to ruin the reputation of the Mandrake Residence…”Harvey looked at Takai, then went to an empty spot outside.“How about this? I’ll fight you with my bare hands. It’d be bad if I destroy the place, after all.”Aryan and the others were speechless. They had never seen such an arrogant show-off in their entire lives.At this moment, the remaining protectors couldn’t help but speak up.“We can’t take this anymore, Master Takai! Let us go at him too! We want this bastard dead!”“No need.” Takai shook his head. “He’ll insult me again once he loses against all of us. He’d only learn his lesson once he suffers a crushing defeat.”Harvey smiled. “I don’t mind you people coming at me.”Takai waved his hand, and a long sword flew straight into his hand.“It’s the Dragon’s Pull! It’s the legendary Dragon’s Pull! Not only can Master Takai release his aura at will, he can bring it back as well!“This is insane!”A huge group of monks were shocked by the sight. After all, bo
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
It was obvious everyone knew the kind of situation Yvonne was in, so none of them were in the mood to cook. Instead, they simply ordered some takeaway and tried to see what they could do about this as they had dinner."Sir, according to the clues we can cover, the one pushing and controlling this should be Linus. The data he had should be complete, but he knew we wouldn't publish the second half of the wedding, which was why they could do this without fear of reprisal," Ray said angrily."Also, all these people on the internet are so stupid. They started to spread rumors without knowing any truth… Damn them! Didn't they know they should let the bullets fly a little?"Tyson thought about that, and said, "Sir, give me the word and I'll be able to find all of them one by one. We'll make them pay for their mindless ramblings!"Harvey glared at him. "Do you think you're George? Find one for me, then. Not to mention, this isn't something that violence can solve.""But we can't let them
"Despite being one of the top ten families, they worked together with the Islanders to profit themselves. They allied themselves with our enemies and made the eldest of their daughters marry an Islander. The Xaviers, one of the most powerful families in Country H… Hmph. Just what kind of filth are they hiding under all the glamor?"Our people have been at the top of the world for so many years, but now, there are those that kneel to some Islanders? Disgraceful! Shameful!"After Linus had gone to the rest stop, several of the most famous message boards on the internet started to show some hot searches which included words like top ten families, collusion, Islanders, and words like that. These words are all very eye-catching, and since there are people intentionally pushing things along, a series of events very quickly occurred on the internet.First of all, someone summarized that the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families, were in a state of weakening. Then, someone pointed
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
