Chester Sanders acted as if he heard nothing. He continued to look at Harvey, desperately waiting for Harvey to speak. If Harvey wasn’t planning to speak at all, Chester wouldn’t even dare breathe.“Oh, I’m fine. It’s just that my shirt got stained. I bought it from a roadside stall for two dollars, and I kind of like it.” Harvey said, unperturbed, acting as if the whole situation was something extremely trivial.Chester’s eyes instantly fell on Harvey’s shirt. He noticed the large wet stain on it, with some tea leaves stuck.Immediately, Chester fumed. He straightened up, his dominant air returning. He glared across the room and bellowed angrily, “Who did this? What kind of person would pour a drink all over someone?!”His subordinates, who knew nothing about what happened, yelled along. “Who did this?!”Subconsciously, everyone’s gazes automatically moved toward the tiny social media influencer.The influencer held her head down, her body trembling in fear.Before commoners a
Harvey sized Chester Sanders briefly. Then, he nodded and said, “Seeing that you know who I am, take your men and leave. Don’t let me ever see them again.”A look of great relief immediately bloomed across Chester’s face. He quickly replied, “Of course! Of course!”With a simple hand gesture from him, his subordinates grabbed Colin Sanders and the influencer girl. In an instant, all of them were gone.…The schoolmates present took in the unbelievable scene, feeling as though they were stuck in a strange dream. They couldn’t understand how Harvey was able to do all that.He actually terrified Chester Sanders!Gary Jones shook his head profusely in disbelief. “This is impossible, a mere live-in son-in-law, how could this be happening…”Then, he hid himself in a corner to make a private call.After around five minutes, Gary reappeared and stared at Harvey. Fear and disdain lingered in his gaze.Almost instantly, a new rumour got out to everyone in the room.The Zimmer family wh
In the Silva’s mansion.Leon Silva was playing with his ring by himself. Only when he put the ring down did a servant come up to him respectfully. “Prince, the person we sent out has come back.”“Let him come in,” Prince Silva said, interested.Not long after, Gary Jones entered respectfully and kneeled on the ground without any hesitation. He spoke with his face almost sticking to the ground, “Hail Prince Silva.”“How’s everything?” Leon asked.Gary replied, “I have carried out everything according to your orders, my prince. I’ve met the Zimmers’ live-in son-in-law.”“He’s too full of himself for his own sake, but in my opinion… ”“What?” Leon asked again.“In my opinion, this live-in son-in-law is not someone with any exceptional ability. The only thing he did right was marrying a good wife and knowing how to build connections.”“Oh?” Leon chuckled. “Then do you think it's possible that he’s the legendary Prince York?”“Him?” Gary cackled. “My prince, I was his school mate
Meanwhile, in the Silver Nimbus Courtyard behind the foot of Silver Nimbus Mountain.Quinton York sat in his Arhat chair with his eyes closed, thinking.A man stood a few distances away from Quinton, his head hung low, too terrified to utter a word.If the people from Harvey York’s schoolmate’s gathering were here, they would’ve recognized that this man was none other than Chester Sanders.Chester, who acted like a loyal dog who had lost its home in front of Harvey, now appeared more calmed and composed.Quinton finally opened his eyes and spoke, his mind filled with various thoughts. “Tell me everything from the beginning to the end three times again…” Chester had repeated the incident thrice just now, but he didn’t dare to refuse at all. He carefully recalled the events that had happened and recited everything all over again.Quinton listened in silence. After a while, a smile graced his lips. “From what you’ve seen, how is my dear older brother compared to three years ago?”
“Okay, I got it.”He ended the call.Harvey went to his office at Sky Corporation the first thing after that, and asked Yvonne Xavier to investigate the matter.Yvonne knew William Bell as well, so she was very taken when she heard that he died. She proceeded to make the arrangements instantly.After approximately half an hour, she re-entered Harvey’s office, looking pale.“Have you checked it?” Harvey asked her in a low voice.“Yes, I did.” Yvonne replied softly. “Three years ago, three days after you were forced to leave Buckwood, William was thrown into Pearl River.”“Was it Quinton York?” Harvey asked coldly.“It wasn’t Quinton.” Yvonne answered. “It was the Silvas.” “To show their stand, the Silvas voluntarily made a move against William.”“The Silvas.” Harvey crushed the cup in his hands.“Sir, please don’t act too rashly. The Silvas aren’t like before, especially Leon Silva.”“The Silvas today are one of the top families in South Light. Going against them won’t be e
Harvey York furrowed his eyebrows. “That’s not right. I remember that William’s parents worked under an international corporation and lived in a welfare housing unit. How could they be living in a village, or all places?”Yvonne Xavier hesitated to speak. “It’s probably the Silvas’ doing. The corporation didn’t dare to go against them, so they took the house back. I heard that his parents’ pension even got terminated!”“The two elders had no choice but to move to a village. It’s rumoured that they’ve been picking up trash for a living.”Harvey’s face grew even darker.The Silvas were too much!If it wasn’t for the fact that the two elders wouldn’t have any strength for revenge, the Silvas would’ve had them killed as well.In this regard, the Silvas were far more abhorrent than Quinton!The Silvas must die!“Let’s go and see how they’re doing. William’s parents are my parents too. We’ll see who else dared to touch them.”Harvey spoke slowly, but his tone was downright intimidat
The leader instantly turned around, only to meet Harvey York’s ice-cold expression.“Who the f*ck are you?” He roared. “You dared to stop me? Do you want to die?” Crack!Harvey effortlessly exerted some pressure in his grip, and the gangster’s arm was broken immediately.He followed through with a hard kick that sent the gangster flying a few yards away. The gangster collapsed to the ground. He struggled to get up, but to no avail. He could only yell out in pain.The other gangsters rushed furiously toward Harvey, but he kicked them all away almost instantly.They all scurried away, yelping in pain. The leader bellowed at Shawn, “Old man! You actually called someone up? You just wait! You’ll be dead today!”“Brother Leroy will be here later! Wait till you get buried with that shitty son of yours!”They left soon after. The old couple closed their eyes in exasperation, looking hopeless.In these three years, they lived their worst life and had suffered terribly. One could
“It’s okay. At most, we’ll just get beaten up a little.”“Plus, we’re already old and frail. Our lives don’t have as much worth as yours!”“It’s alright even if we die!”“You have to stay alive and well, so that you can avenge our dear William!”“He was murdered by someone for sure!”Shawn Bell exclaimed, tear-stricken.William Bell’s unjustified death was obviously the old couple’s hardest pain.Harvey sighed and reassured them, “Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. No one can hurt you if I’m here.”“I’ll settle William’s matter as well. You’ll definitely get an explanation over what happened to him.”“No! You don’t know how scary Brother Leroy is. He can kill someone!”It was evident that this so-called Brother Leroy had succeeded in implanting great fear in everyone’s heart.When Shawn brought up his name, he couldn’t help but tremble slightly.His fear had already become a biological reaction.It only showed how powerful Leroy was, and how much he had terrorized the old couple
Blade took a deep breath. He remembered his own duty and stood in front of Clarion, shielding him. Then, he said with a cold expression on his face, "Madam, Mr. Zeon, my apologies. However, as I'm currently the Assistant Hallmaster and Clarion is my superior, it's my duty to protect him. May I ask how he offended the two of you to the point that he pressed the red button?"Blade put on the face of someone who was only doing his job. He was loyal to his duties.Clarion's expression changed. He did not realize that Blade was a Jackson. However, since Blade chose duty over his personal ties, it was enough to calm Clarion down.Whoosh!At the moment when everything was at a standstill, Zeon suddenly stepped forward and appeared right before the crowd. He immediately slapped Blade's face.Slap!He slapped Blade so hard and loud that Blade stumbled backward as he was not on his guard and almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Clarion reacted quickly and helped Blade up. Otherwise, Blade wo
"I'll give you one last chance to answer me. If you refuse, it won't be my fault for not showing you any mercy." Camellia's pretty face became colder as she stared at Clarion before waving her right hand.After what she did, she saw all the security from Platinum Casino stepped forward, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.Clarion smiled. "Looks like not only have you captured him, it doesn't sound like you're going to release him at all. Looks like I mean nothing to you madam!"Camellia sat down back on the sofa as she folded her legs once more. She raised her chin as she looked at Clarion, coldly saying, "You're right. You mean nothing to me. What? Are you going to go mad? Do it, then! Show it to me! I'm curious to see just what our Young Master Clarion Parker can do to make a scene!"Clarion took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Don't blame me for this, then!"After that, Clarion's right hand pulled out a small red button and pressed it.Vroom!As soon as he di
"All your casino shares?" Camellia stroked her chin as she gave Clarion a meaningful smile. "If I remember, they all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the interest you gain annually is also quite substantial. Without that, your worth as the heir of Parkerville will drop significantly."Looks like Hale probably saved your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have paid such a price for a garbage like him," Camellia's eyes were judgmental when she said those words. She stared at Clarion curiously, wanting to see something from his actions and expressions.Unfortunately, Clarion maintained his cool and indifference."Madam, it'll take a long time to talk about the relationship between us. Hence, there's no need for me to explain everything here. All I want to ask is, will you accept this trade?"Camellia once again walked over to Clarion's side and bent closer, whispering in his ears. "Of course I'm willing, since you're offering me so much. Unfortunately, since I don't have Hale
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
