“You all!”William Bell was shocked beyond belief.He genuinely could not believe that the friends that he trusted would use ways like this to force the truth out from him…“Quick, seize him!”A person from the Silvas ordered.At the next moment, William was in despair, his eyes shut tight and then jumped backward into the river.In his helplessness, this was his only choice. He did not have any other way out.After watching the whole video, Harvey York’s face had turned as dark as night.Bang!Harvey smashed a teacup beside him with his fist.The teacup made out of solid marble was actually shattered to smithereens by his fist, with the sound of clattering of the pieces on the ground.The murderous aura on Harvey had remained the same. At that moment, even the room felt like it had gotten colder.Harvey did not think that William would have something like this befell him after he had left Buckwood for the past three days.And to defend his grounds, William did not want to
On the next day.Harvey York had arrived at the Cloudes’ Media Company early in the morning.Harvey came to the office hall and saw Margie Cloude’s giant poster.Margie on the poster seemed gloriously radiant and charming, as if she were a goddess.“She’s just some family’s collateral relative. She was only a little-known on the internet during that time, not bad being able to get this far…“But selling out her own boyfriend, heheh…”Harvey looked at the poster closely and leaked out a smile as cold as ice.Yvonne Xavier on the side whispered, “CEO, I’ve set an appointment with Margie Cloude beforehand. It’s almost our turn.”“Oh, right,” Harvey said calmly.Since they were there for Margie, they should play by her rules. He was not in a rush anyway.Not long after, a receptionist walked over.“Mr. York, it’s your turn. Please come this way...”At the CEO’s office on the highest floor.A few security guards were stationed at the front door.After a thorough body search, H
“Impossible! This footage is fake! How could I possibly harm William Bell?!”Margie Cloude immediately denied the accusation.Harvey York leisurely stood up and said, “Right, I’ll be going then. Don’t regret it!”“Hold on, tell me what you want?!” Margie immediately asked.“What’s the point of me admitting that I did do it anyway?“You’re no better yourself! You don’t give footage like this to the police, but instead you try to blackmail me with this. You’re not a good person either!”Naturally, in her eyes, Harvey was already prepared to use the footage to threaten and blackmail her.She barely realized that Harvey only wanted to toy with her and let her taste the pain and helplessness that William suffered before he died.“One price, one hundred and fifty million dollars!” Harvey said with a smirk on his face.“What? One hundred and fifty million? You are mad! Why don’t you blackmail the Silvas instead?!” Margie screamed furiously.Harvey chuckled and said, “The Silvas have
“Could the footage possibly be fake…?”Jonathan Maxwell was the first to ask. He found it to be a bit unbelievable since there were quite a number of fabricated incidents as of late.Margie Cloude frowned and said, “I thought so from the beginning, but I repeatedly checked the footage while I was waiting for you all. It’s definitely real.”“So, that means once this footage gets out there, we’ll all be exposed?” The most timid one out of the three, Tommy Ray said with a frown at that moment.The last one named Ted Dunn nodded and said, “It’s not that big of a deal if we get exposed.“The problem is, if we did get exposed, so will the Silvas.“The Silvas would definitely end us for their family’s reputation. How could you all not know what kind of man Prince Silva actually is?”Jonathan frowned and said, “What do we do now?”Margie said helplessly, “That’s why I called you all here. Did you think I’d just invite you for no reason?”“There’s not many ways of dealing with this. Ei
Once everything was prepared, Margie Cloude did not anxiously call Harvey York in a hurry. She knew that being hasty would not get her anywhere.When the time was almost ripe—it was almost ten o’clock, she then gave Harvey a call.“Mr. York, I’ve prepared the money but these are all in cash. It’s quite inconvenient to bring it around.“I’ll give you the address of a private club. Remember, you must bring the original copy of the video here, and you have to promise that there are no other copies!“If not, I won’t hand you the money!”Margie sounded like she did not trust Harvey, but that all could be acted out—everything would seem more realistic.Harvey agreed to her terms.“Sure, wait for me there. I’ll see you in a bit.”After a moment, Margie sent Harvey the location through her phone.It was a private clubhouse, she had paid for the whole place at that time. All four of them were present.Because the chosen place did not have any relations to any of them.Picking a place
“That’s right! Give us the original footage, or we’ll break your legs and then we’ll kill you!” Ted Dunn threatened.Naturally, their own interests were being threatened by this incident, hence why those people were acting as one.Harvey York’s smile on his face started to turn colder and clapped his hands.“Not bad, this is interesting. So William Bell was threatened and bribed into submission like this by you people back then?“And you’re trying to send me to see him?”Margie Cloude coldly said, “Harvey, we’re giving you a chance. If we can take out the filth, then we can take you out too!”“I’m so scared!” Harvey said mockingly.“Since I’m so scared, I didn’t bring the original footage here. Instead, I let another person bring it for me, he’s about to arrive.”“What? You didn’t bring it with you?”Margie and the others were shocked. They took everything into account, but not the fact that Harvey would not bring the original footage with him.“Whatever, just kill him for no
“Are you all taking this matter too lightly? You bring in five so-called killers from a gang to kill my CEO? Are you even kidding me?”Tyson Woods raised his head and stared at Margie Cloude and the others.A gang boss on his own turf would have a certain bearing.After he spoke, he sent shivers up the spines of Margie Cloude and the others.Margie and the others were quivering while shifting their gaze simultaneously toward Tommy Ray .He was the one that hired the killers, but who knew that they would be finished off this easily?Tommy then helplessly said, “I relied on so many connections to even find the killers from gangs. Who knew they were this weak?!“Besides, even if they were strong, how would they even be useful in a situation like this?!“You’re the one to blame. I really wanted to just hand the money and be done with it! What are we supposed to do now?!”Margie looked at the worthless sack of trash that was Tommy and Jonathan Maxwell along with Ted Dunn shivering
On the next day.At the Silva Manor, a coffin was sent to the front entrance and wreathes were decorated around it.The area around the Silva Manor belonged to the Silvas, that was why nobody else was alarmed.But the Silvas soon knew.The Silvas were a traditional and ancient family, things like this were taboo for the family.Soon after the information was passed down, Leon Silva that was doing his morning practice had gotten the news.He took a bath leisurely, then dressed in a suit and came to the front entrance.A throng of people were crowded at the front entrance of the Silva Manor at that moment; everyone in the family was showing faces as dark as night, especially the elderly. They had almost fainted in a fit of rage.But what was inside it? Who even knew about this?“Who sent this? Does anyone know?”Leon slightly frowned. He was not scared of things like this, but he still felt that it was ominous.The most important part was that it had been years, even the Yorks
Harvey was speechless when he heard of the identity of the so-called Mr. Lee. Why were all the people like this from Longmen? Since he had already retired, wasn't it better for him to just retire in peace instead of running around and interfering in things like this?When Mr. Lee saw the stupefied look on Harvey's face, he thought Harvey was shocked by the Longmen Association's reputation. He faked a cough, and put his hands behind his back. "Do you know the meaning of fear now, young man? I've seen plenty of talented young men in this world, but none had acted so arrogantly like you."Have you heard about the scion of the Longmen Association? He is a true prodigy, but even someone like him had to treat himself as a junior before me. Think about it… Do you really think you can act in such an arrogant manner before me?"Mr. Lee smiled haughtily, as if his status was that high and mighty.Elric reminded Harvey, "Maybe you've never heard of the scion of the Longmen Association, bu
Harvey stated his demand without hesitation.Elric's face darkened immediately. He slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "What do you mean, Harvey? I'm telling you, it's rare for me to speak so good-naturedly with anyone else. If you're still stubborn, you'll have to bear all responsibility for what comes next!"Harvey smashed the cup in his hand in response, and tossed the pieces toward Elric. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Stanton. Your threats are pointless to me. And so, I will gladly bear that responsibility."Just as Elric was going to rage on, the old man next to him suddenly raised his head and slammed his hand on the table. A deep handprint appeared on the wooden table. He stared at Harvey and snarled coldly, "Watch your mouth!"I've been sitting here for so long, and I finally have a basic understanding of you. In short, you're someone who likes to dance between the borders of life and death. Mr. Elric Stanton is the man who created Country H Commercial Group. He's someone well
The corner of Elric's eye twitched a little when he heard Harvey analyze things in just a few sentences and insinuate what he wanted. Harvey was indeed no simple man. Elric made the right choice not to fight him until the end.He didn't know if he could fully defeat Harvey once he chose to go against Harvey until the end. He might be the one who ended up losing everything he had. From the way Harvey acted, if he did anything against Harvey and the latter had evidence of it, things wouldn't end well for him.When the thought crossed his mind, Elric suddenly had a desire to completely eradicate Havery.Elric took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey and said, "Before we get down to business, I have to admit that young men like you are very rare nowadays. Not only did you do things cleanly, but you also have the skills and physical ability to do so. Despite your youth, you have already reached a height no lower than us old folks. I admi
Twelve o'clock the following day. Harvey followed the GPS and arrived at a simple cafe.Aside from selling coffee and tea, the cafe also served all kinds of delicacies in Wolsing. It also proved that whoever chose this place had taste.Harvey looked around the café and walked to the center. The entire cafe was empty, with only one table being seated at the center.Elric was there, and next to him was an old man in a martial arts robe. He looked quite impressive and could take a beating or two. Harvey didn't know who the old man was, but he was most likely a martial arts elite.After Harvey had slapped Elric last time, Elric probably learned from his experience and had to make some preparations when seeing Harvey. Unfortunately, such preparation was pointless. If Harvey wanted to, he could slap Elric as many times as he wanted.Harvey thought of Journi, and nodded at Elric. "Hello, Mr. Stanton. We met again. Journi had already told me about it. She didn't ask me to take the offer
Elric frowned before replying slowly, "After interacting with Harvey again and again, we have all suffered all kinds of losses. Even someone like Emery unexpectedly failed when he got caught by surprise. Everything tells us that Harvey isn't someone we can easily dispatch."Since that's the case, we need to plan properly and carefully if we want to get rid of him. There's no need to rush…"Pamela said coldly, "Once Hector's funeral is complete, many things within the Thompson family will be decided. After all that, it's pointless even if we can kill him a hundred times. Only by killing him before the funeral will I have the chance to become the leader of the family. Even if I can't, it will only be beneficial for us if we can give his head to the new leader as an introductory gift. We need to put in more effort, old man."Elric frowned slightly as he narrowed his eyes. "Well… There might be a chance, but…"After giving it a thought, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Jo
Harvey's tone was indifferent, but his words were shocking.Emery's expression changed slightly, and even the expressions on the faces of Janus and the others turned stony. Especially Janus. He knew well what kind of a person Emery was.Emery was capable of installing and igniting explosives under their vans, killing them after their little act. He was also capable of using their deaths to fuel his followers' rage against his enemies. Forget being of doing all this, he most likely had already done it."Enough! Who's throwing such accusations around?" Betty said icily as she scanned the crowd. "Mr. Emery won't do something like that when he's someone so generous toward his followers! How dare you throw wild accusations around without even daring to show your face! You…"Before Betty could continue, the vans Janus and his men had driven here suddenly exploded one by one in loud booms. The powerful shockwave rippled outwards, and almost everyone was knocked off their feet.Emery's
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
