Harvey could sense something wrong after hearing the conversation. Judging from Mandy’s expression, he decided not to cause her more trouble since she hadn’t figured out the waters here yet.“Right, everyone,” Harvey said after standing up.“I understand now. It’s all my fault.“I have no right to eat with you people.“I barged in here only because I missed Mandy.“I’ll leave now.“Another thing; tell Reggie something for me. If he’s going to cause trouble, then just come at me!”Harvey winked at Mandy while setting an elegant-looking box in front of her before leaving the room.Mandy froze, clearly moved. She understood what Harvey was doing; she knew he didn’t want to make things harder for her.After fighting in the business world for so long, she was no longer the woman she was before.“Sorry, everyone. It was all my fault,” she said while smiling at her rascally friends, forcing her feelings back.“Come on, let’s talk about anything else other than work.“Sorry about t
“Come now, ma’am! No need to get mad!”Anne smiled while walking beside Lilian.“We already chased Harvey away! We wouldn’t let someone like him get close to Mandy! You told us so, remember?”Lilian finally let out a sigh, her expression cold.“Good! My eyes are twitching already! Nothing good ever comes with that kid’s name!“I’m warning you, Mandy! Don’t you dare be in contact with him from now on! You understand me?!”Mandy’s expression was horrible. “We’re just friends, Mother…”“Shut up already!”Lilian slammed the table.“You think I don’t know about this?! He’s only trying to cling to you because you’re rich now!“You’re a member of the top ten families! You should know to only be close to people like you!“Look at what Young Master Hector did! He gave me a card with a million dollars in it! Can that filthy vermin do something like that?“Don’t talk to me about his stupid business in South Light, either!“Let me tell you something! Everything outside of Wolsing mean
“What’s this?”Master Sallow quickly came to the front and picked up the skin of the pill, then took a few huffs and had a taste of his finger.Soon after, he appeared ecstatic.“Where’s the actual content? Where is it?”Everyone looked at each other.“Master Sallow… Is there something wrong with it?”“Of course there is!” Master Sallow quickly approached Lilian and held her hands. “Tell me! Where did it go?!”Lilian instinctively looked at the burping poodle. “I…fed it to my dog…”“What?! What did you say?!”Master Sallow’s face lost color, and he stumbled around the place.Furious, he went to the poodle, and pried its mouth open and smelled it. He instantly fell to the ground after that.“Who did this?! Who fed the Honey Pill to the dog?! Even the wealthiest of people can’t afford such a thing!“Don’t you know?! Only kings of the past would have the right to eat something like this!“It’s said to revive the dead, and cure all diseases!“Not long ago, the old lady of the
After seeing the goddess with an exquisite figure smiling, Harvey let out a sigh.“You’re kidding me. Did you know what happened there?”Judging from the fact that Yvonne telling the staff to send in the dishes, it was clear she knew everything that happened. If not, she wouldn’t even ask Harvey such a random question.“I was just worried about you being too immersed in the outskirts and forgetting how we do things here in Wolsing.”Harvey looked at Ray as if he was begging for help.Ray kept his eyes glued on his phone, as if there was something interesting on it.Harvey’s eyes twitched; he then put on a stern expression.“Let’s just talk about the Country H Commercial Group for now, Yvonne,” he said, desperately trying to change the subject.“We need to do a good job about this, right? Tell me what’s going on in the organization!”Yvonne glared at Harvey for a moment; when the dishes were all sent over, she poured a bowl of soup and handed it to Harvey before finally speakin
“When should we start taking action?”Yvonne grabbed Harvey a drumstick, smiling.“There’s no rush; Elric’s not retired yet, right?” Harvey replied with food in his mouth.“If we take action now, everyone will turn against us out of hatred. Just let the others fight, and we’ll reap the rewards after that.“We need to do things the best way with minimal casualties.”Yvonne chuckled.“We can’t just sit here and do nothing though, right?”Ray had no intention of holding back. “We might as well head back to South Light if that’s the case.”“What are you saying?”Harvey glared at Ray.“We’re not even done with Sky Corporation’s relocation.“We haven’t even got a suitable investor in Wolsing, either.“We’d have to find an opportunity to secure a place here first, you know?“We have full control over Buckwood…but this is Wolsing. Everything’s a lot more difficult here.”Ray nodded, then pondered the situation for a moment.“I understand. Sky Corporation will launch all busine
Harvey showed a profound gaze; he didn’t think a gift to Mandy would cause such huge trouble.‘Maybe I should’ve…’While Harvey was in deep thought, Yvonne smiled.“Of course, this is just speculation.“Maybe the Hunt family would treat them kindly for the Honey Pill’s whereabouts. In any case, we’ll cross the bridge when we get there.“For my old lover’s sake, I’ll make sure that nothing happens to her.”Harvey’s eyes twitched.With both Mandy and Yvonne in the same city, the love triangle was bound to have some drama.Before Harvey’s headache could subside, Yvonne’s face darkened and she continued to speak. “Right, Sir York. There’s something that I need to tell you.“The Xavier family’s butler gave me a call; they know that I came back here already. He said that the old man’s arranging another date for me, and demanded me to go.”Harvey’s eyes twitched again.Ray desperately wanted to hide under the table after hearing those words.Bam!When Harvey was still thinking
Yvonne smiled at Harvey, completely ignoring Reggie.“Judging from this guy’s tone, you must’ve stolen his woman. Let me guess: Mandy? You have quite the good luck with women, huh?”Yvonne chuckled.The curve of her smile, revealing her bright teeth, would be enough to make any man lose control.“No, you’re the one with good luck here…”Reggie looked as if his soul was being pulled as he tried reaching out to Yvonne’s face.“If I were you, I wouldn’t do anything until I figure out who I’m dealing with,” Harvey said after setting his utensils down.“I guarantee that if you get your hand any closer, you’ll be the one suffering.“Grovel and admit to your mistake, then get your men out of here.“Pay for the room on your way out, and I’ll let you off the hook.“After all, I don’t want to cause any trouble since it’s my first day here.”Reggie froze; he didn’t think that Harvey was a prominent figure, but a useless kept man. But judging from Harvey’s tone, he started to realize th
The men in black suits burst out laughing after hearing Reggie’s words.He was right, after all.Whoever his enemies were, as long as they were outsiders… They’d be instantly humbled as soon as they arrived here.‘A mere outsider like him has no right to go against a prominent figure like Young Master Reggie!’A few beautiful women in heavy makeup heard the commotion, and came to watch the show.They had their arms crossed as they glared disdainfully at Harvey and the others.‘There’s been a lot of country bumpkins visiting here…but it's my first time seeing someone acting like this!’“I should warn you,” Ray said in the nick of time.“You better do as Sir York says. He’s in a good enough mood since he just came here. He won’t make things harder for you people if you listen.”Pfft!The beautiful women laughed their stomachs off.“Sir York? He calls himself that when he just got here? That’s a title only a CEO can have!“If he’s a CEO, then I’m the king of the world! How dar
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
