The people here weren’t idiots; they knew Xynthia probably brought Harvey here to act as her shield.However, they didn’t know that the shield could fight back!He was bold enough to even kiss the corner of Xynthia’s lips!Kylan was so angry, he was about to pass out; he had never held Xynthia’s hands, after all!Xynthia’s face was bright red; she didn’t think that her brother-in-law would do something like that either.But thinking back, she figured she wouldn’t have a chance if Harvey didn’t like her mother!She seemed a little down after remembering how Lilian would usually act. With Lilian around, Xynthia probably wouldn’t be able to be with Harvey anyway.While Xynthia hesitated, Harvey had already wrapped his arm around her thin waist and looked forward.“Now you believe that I’m her boyfriend?“In reality, I only divorced my wife because I was into her.“If you feel like you need more proof, you can just ask!“This was supposed to be our little secret, though…”Harve
Kylan’s expression turned severe as he spoke up again.“You’re from the Xavier family, Young Master Rayan. You have an immense identity and a high status…“But you shouldn’t offend Sir York here like that! He might just make your entire family kneel after this! What are you going to do after that?”Rayan seemed completely horrified. “You’re right! Sir York, please don’t mind me! I’ll treat you with respect! Don’t make me kneel!”The crowd burst out laughing.Anyone could tell that Kylan and Rayan were treating Harvey like a joke.The beautiful women were looking at Harvey with disdain, thinking he should’ve just died as a man rather than being this shameless.“Oh, Sir York! You must be quite the impressive man for the prominent figures of the Hunt family to bow to you!”Kylan waved his watch around, his gaze bright, planning to completely expose Harvey.“Let me guess who you are, then!“I heard the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group is about to retire! Someone with th
Before Harvey could say anything, Kylan seized the opportunity and continued his speech.“I didn’t just guess it, Sir York!“You’re like a firefly in the night sky—an impressive man like you would stand out no matter where you go!“How about this? Would it be fine for you to give me your address?“I’ll take my family to kneel in front of your house tomorrow! How does that sound?”Kylan even glanced behind him before showing a furious gaze.“Come! What are you people doing?! Greet Sir York already!“He’s the king of the country’s business world, you know? His pocket change can feed every single one of us for the rest of our lives!“Come! Come! All hail Sir York!”Kylan waved his hand to bring the crowd along, faking their respect towards Harvey. At the end of the day, they only planned to crush Harvey under their feet.The beautiful women couldn’t help but shake their heads at the sight.‘He’s such a handsome man, but he’s this useless? How can there someone be this ignorant?
The people who were stunned by Harvey’s phone call snapped out of their confusion.They were instantly infuriated after that.‘That’s right! How can a mere live-in husband be the chairman of the organization? He’s a shameless kept man at that!’“Tch! You’re not even wearing clothes that cost fifteen dollars in total, but you call yourself the chairman?“You probably spent money for someone to help you show off, didn’t you? How are you so vain?“Even if Young Master Kylan didn’t joke about you, you probably would’ve shown off your phone call regardless!“You’re embarrassing Xynthia here!“Take a look in a mirror before doing something like this, you moron!”“You guys see that? He’s wearing a Rolex! He probably bought it at some rundown subway station in Buckwood!”“You think you’re actually impressive? Young Master Kylan’s just toying with you!”Kylan and the others were clearly enraged. Harvey’s constant disrespect, along with the horrible beeping, was completely unbearable.
“See what?”Harvey showed a calm expression, as if he didn’t understand Cason.“People can be stupid, but playing dumb is a different story,” Cason replied coldly.“Anyone with eyes can tell that Young Master Kylan’s interested in Xynthia.“I don’t care if you’re actually his boyfriend or not—maybe you’re just here to stand up for her… If you know what’s best for yourself, you should get out of here right now!“If you do, I can speak up for you later. Since you brought Xynthia here in the first place, we can pretend that nothing ever happened between us…“Besides, I’ll even give you a lot of benefits.”Harvey smiled.“A lot of benefits? But Xynthia’s my little smoochie!“I don’t care what kind of benefits you have. You’re not making me leave that easily.”Cason showed a disdainful glare before pointing at the beautiful women around him.“Other than the wealthy ladies, you can pick whoever you want in the crowd! Even Veda!“I’ll even give you sixteen thousand dollars as hush
“It doesn’t matter what society you belong to.“Things are a lot different compared to what you see on TV.“There are people that you can go against…“And there are people that will end your life if you even think about that.”Harvey tapped Cason’s shoulder.“Self-awareness is important, after all!”Cason chuckled, enraged, and raised his thumb at Harvey.“You’ve got guts!“It’s my first time seeing someone like you after being out here for so long!“Since you don’t know what’s best for yourself…“I’ll make sure you suffer! I’ll make sure you know what happens once you challenge me!”Cason gritted his teeth.He wasn’t some prince or young master, but he wasn’t just an easy target either. Going against him would mean dire consequences!The people who heard the conversation not far away started shaking their heads, and chuckled.Compared to someone like Cason or Kylan, Harvey was completely inferior.Even if Cason was just a small director with a bit of fame, Harvey would
Xynthia was just about to say something…When Harvey smiled while holding her glass down.“Sorry, everyone. My woman’s already… You know? Pregnant women can’t be drinking, after all. She doesn’t have a choice.”Xynthia knew this was just an excuse, but she still felt very shy after hearing those words.The others knew that Xynthia was a pure lady, but they still cursed Harvey in secret for saying such disgusting things.Cason was showing a horrible expression as well.He thought Xynthia wouldn’t find an excuse to not drink at first…But being pregnant might just be the perfect one.Unless the crowd could prove that wrong, forcing a pregnant woman to drink would be a horrible look on them.After seeing Cason being shut down instantly, Veda quickly spoke up.“Since she can’t drink, we should just let her be! That said…”Veda rolled her eyes.“You’re not pregnant, are you? You should drink for her instead! But we’ll have to triple the amount of glasses you handle!”“That’s ri
Bam!As Kylan and Rayan were thinking of ways to deal with Harvey and Xynthia…A loud bang was heard when the door was kicked open.Three men in suits came in soon after. One of them was a bald man strapped with golden chains, and the other two were fighters standing behind him.The bald man came in with his cigar in hand, glancing around the room. His eyes lit up when he saw the beautiful students. Then, his gaze shifted towards Cason.“Oh? Isn’t that Mr. Cason?“Do I finally have the honor of bumping into you today?“Where are my eighteen students?“I don’t think there’s enough here right now!”The bald man stood in front of Cason before tapping the latter’s face. He then wiped his hand on Cason’s shirt with utter disdain.Kylan, Rayan, and the others frowned when they saw the bald man, but they didn’t say a word about it either.Harvey instinctively stood in front of Xynthia as he casually sipped his water.Cason kept changing expressions before finally forcing out a smi
"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
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
