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
“You puny ant! That’s pretty brave of you!”Leroy sized Harvey York up. “Looks like you’re old Shawn’s family, huh?”“Shawn Bell, to think you have the guts to call someone over to hit one of my brothers!”“I can make you regret being born anytime I like!”“Let’s see how I’ll torture you two old hags!”Leroy threatened the old couple right in front of Harvey.He gave off such an intimidating air that Shawn and his wife were horrified to death. They begged immediately, “Brother Leroy! My nephew didn’t understand the rules of this place!”“Didn’t you want money? I still have some wood from the coffin. I’ll give you all of them, so please forgive him!”“I’ll eat leaves every day from now on to save up money for you!”“Forgive him?” Leroy sneered. “I can do that.”“In exchange, I want this girl to play with me for a while. Then you have to pay us a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the medical expenses. Lastly, I want his arm broken. Only then I’ll forget about everything!”
The crowd of powerful men parted to open a path for two people to pass through.Tyson Woods walked at the front, with Old Niner following behind.“That’s the new rising gangster, Brother Tyson! And isn’t that Old Niner? Master Niner?”Leroy was part of the street gangs. Although he could not be considered as an influential figure, he was vigilant and was very clear about the situation on the streets.Therefore, he knew most of the big shots that ruled the streets.From Tyson and Old Niner’s point of view, a small fry like Leroy was at best a little brother. No, they might not even acknowledge him as one.“Brother Tyson, Master Niner! What brings you here?!”“It’s such an honor!”Leroy quickly said, bending over to show respect.However, neither Tyson nor Old Niner cared about him.They walked into the small courtyard and then bowed in Harvey’s direction. “Master York, what can I do for you?”“What… what…”Leroy and his followers became dumbfounded. The scene before them was
“Is it true?” Shawn Bell and his wife were both emotional. “You found out who killed our William?” They were able to endure a hard time these past three years in hopes that they could one day avenge their late son.Now that their suffering was over, there was hope for revenge.If Harvey said this before, they might not have believed him.However, the scene just now instilled in them a newfound confidence in Harvey.“Uncle, Auntie, please stand up. From now on, I’ll treat you as my own parents.”“Let’s go. We’ll move out tonight and live in another place.”Soon after, Harvey left the slum with Shawn and his wife.When they exited the hut, the laneway was extremely clean. There were no traces of any scuffle whatsoever.Tyson and the rest had disappeared, as if they were never around in the first place.When Harvey and the elderly couple reached the middle of the lane, a wooden door to another house opened. A scantily clad woman with thick makeup came out. She kneeled in front
The man sitting opposite Tara Lewis was Frank Zummo. He built up his own business and started a small company, and currently had a net worth of millions. He had even bought several villas; one in the city center, one in the suburbs, and another one on the beach.Such a man was the definition of a successful person. Naturally, Tara’s parents were extremely pleased with him.They looked at him as if they were looking at their son-in-law. The more they gazed at him, the more satisfied they became.As for Frank, he knew he wanted Tara the moment he laid his eyes on her.Tara was not only incredibly beautiful, but also had a gorgeous body and plenty of useful connections.Marrying such a woman would be a great boost to his career.Frank felt that he overpowered Tara in every aspect of their careers. He knew she was well within his reach.Frank’s parents shared his sentiments. After all, their son was nothing short of amazing.“Old Man Lewis, if you think it’s okay, then let’s settle
Even Tara Lewis was just as stunned.She never thought that Harvey would be so anxious to come find her straight away.“Who are you? What are you doing here? Don’t you know where this is? Are you trying to make trouble?”Frank Zummo couldn’t help but yell in anger.He just had to say a few more sentences to bring Tara down. Yet, this guy came out of nowhere and instantly spoiled his plan.He wasn’t sure when such a good opportunity would come again.Right now, he wanted nothing more than to choke Harvey to death.Tara’s parents stared at Harvey curiously and asked, “Dear, who is this? Why does he look familiar?”Tara replied helplessly, “Father, Mother, this is Harvey.”Tara’s father’s expression changed drastically. “What? Harvey? Your college classmate? What is he doing here? How did you get in touch with him?”“He… we participated in the class gathering before.” Tara explained. “Naturally, we got in touch.” Frank’s father thundered with a darkened face, “Old Man Lewis, w
“Yes.” Harvey nodded. “A quiet, comfortable and safe house. Most importantly, the facilities must be perfect.”Tara Lewis understood that Harvey York wanted to buy a villa. Otherwise, he could have simply bought another house in the Gardens Residence. After all, it was the best community in Buckwood.“Well, our company has the type of villa you want.” Tara said quickly. “I’ll show it to you.” She then turned around and said, “Uncle, aunt. I’m sorry about today. I have to deal with my classmate’s request first. Let’s meet again next time.”She was initially against this marriage because she felt that it was too soon. Harvey came at the right time, giving her an excuse to get away.Looking at it in this way, she was quite grateful to Harvey.Tara’s parents stood up as well and said, “Let’s do this. Since everyone has almost finished eating, let’s take a look at your working environment. How about it?”Although Tara was against this marriage, her parents were impatient and wanted
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
Harvey stood behind Clarion as he looked at all these men and women in their luxurious outfits. Other than the heirs of the large families from Grand City, Harvey could not really tell how powerful they were. Harvey even noticed quite a few mutant elites from Country A. All of them gathered together and all the topics they discussed about were extremely sophisticated, making them feel that they were the most important individuals in this world.Other than these people, she saw a woman wearing purple traditional garb in the middle of the group. She could not tell the woman's age, but her figure was slender and curvaceous. She carried an esteemed imposition. Or perhaps, it was better to describe her imposition as queen-like.She held an exquisite hookah in her hand that was made from gold. She would sometimes take a puff before blowing out a stream of smoke, as if she were some kind of empress.Quite a few men would glance at her before averting their eyes, as if they were too afraid
Every word Clarion heard from Jade made his expression turn even darker. When she finished, Clarion almost wanted to stomp on the woman even as he suppressed his anger. Just when Clarion was going to slap Jade in the face as she deserved, Neve stopped him.Neve then took a golden card from her Hermes handbag and gave it to Jade. "I have a member card. This is the card your madam gave to me when the Platinum Casino was first established. I believe you will accept this."Neve never paid much attention to the card when she first received it and simply kept it in her handbag. She did not expect it to have some use today. "This is one out of the fifty member cards the casino gave out at the beginning. I was told it gives me the highest privilege. You won't deny this, will you?"While Neve was smiling, her words were cold and harsh. "If you won't, then I can assume the Platinum Casino has a problem with the Fosters of the Universal Sect. I will then report this to my grandfather."Clario
The woman was beaming at Clarion and said, "Everyone knows who you are in Grand City, sir. My name is Jade Bierstadt, and I'm your biggest fan. Although I'm a fan, I still need to obey the rules here. It will be bad for society if everyone can simply break the rules, right?"In other words, it's not because I have something against you. But it's because I have no choice as this is my duty. Since I'm making a living here, I need to perform my duties to earn my salary, correct? So, please forgive us and show us workers some mercy. But if you must ignore the rules here, then I'm afraid I'll have no choice…"And then, Jade gently clapped her hands. A group of men-in-black slowly walked out of the VIP passage after that. There were also some clicking sounds from the high ground some distance away, as several men started to parade their sniper rifles.The Platinum Casino had truly demonstrated their superiority today.Harvey narrowed his eyes. He had quickly determined that whether it wa
