Caelum looked deep into Harvey’s eyes before he left.Soon after, the place became extremely awkward.Kylan stumbled off the ground.“You’re pretty good at fighting, Harvey! It’d be hard to find someone like you in the younger generation!”Kylan thought of something as he sized up Harvey.“And?” Harvey casually sipped his tea.“Let me put it this way!”Kylan looked as if he had learned from his mistakes.“I admire you!“As long as you stay as my bodyguard… I’ll pay you sixteen thousand dollars per month!“I don’t care if you’re together with Xynthia or not! I swear that I won’t do anything to her ever again!“I’ll even support her using my connections in the entertainment circle! Nobody would lay a single finger on her after this!“As for what happened tonight, I’ll even bury the hatchet right here!”Everyone froze; they didn’t think that Kylan would even say something like that.The beautiful women were showing odd gazes as well.Harvey was impressive indeed. His action
Inside the main hall.Many people in gray robes were gathered together. They looked as if they were waiting for something.As soon as Harvey showed up, the people who were pretending to sip tea instantly shivered and almost sprung off their seats.Harvey looked curiously at these people.He realized that the bustling hall was completely empty; he wasn’t sure if this was intentional or not, either.If it weren’t for the people in gray robes, he would’ve thought that he was in an empty city.The people in gray robes came over. The robes looked the exact same as the one Paislee wore in the Hunt family’s residence. It was clear that they were from the House of Priests.The people stood in front of Harvey. A tall and handsome man sized him up. “You’re Harvey?” he demanded fiercely.“What’s the point of asking me that when you came all the way here for me? What? Are you treating me to a midnight snack or something?”“A midnight snack?”The man showed disdain as he looked down on
Swoosh!The people in gray robes instantly pounced over, prepared to take on Harvey.Frantic footsteps were heard soon after. A woman’s cold voice echoed.“I was wondering who’s causing this much of a ruckus in a five-star hotel! You’re from the House of Priests!“What? Do you think you’re kings of the world just because you have Kurbus under your control?“I am Charlotte Padget! As long as I’m here, no one from the sacred martial arts training grounds is allowed to cross the line!”A dozen people in uniforms came forward.A woman in a white uniform with a ponytail stood in front with her sword in hand. She looked like she was in her twenties, and her expression was gentle, but her aura was nothing short of heroic.It was clear that she was from a sacred martial arts training ground as well. An aura like that wouldn’t be obtainable without generations of cultivation.“Charlotte Padget?”The man’s expression changed.“You’re in charge of enforcing the law at the martial arts
Arlan glared coldly at Charlotte, then smiled.“Why don’t we make this quick, Sir York?“Grovel as an apology right now, and I’ll just send a recording to Paislee!“You should thank Ms. Charlotte! If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t be able to get such an opportunity in the first place!”Naturally, Arlan was quite unhappy with Charlotte’s sudden appearance. Not only was he planning on crushing Harvey’s pride, he wanted to crush Charlotte’s as well.Charlotte’s expression darkened instantly.“You want me to grovel and be recorded?” Harvey asked calmly. “You think you have the right for me to even do that?”“What’s with the attitude, kid?”Arlan’s cold gaze was filled with murderous intent.“If you don’t know just how impressive the House of Priests is, just ask the nosy bastard herself!“If I actually want you dead… I wouldn’t even need to wait!”Charlotte could sense the intent in Arlan’s words; she hesitated for a moment before coming beside Harvey.“Mr. York, I don’t know
“I was in a good mood, and I was planning to have some rest in my room…” Harvey said.“But you just had to come at me.“You can leave.“But at least pay for my mental loss fee“Kneel, apologize, then pay me 1.5 million dollars. If you don’t, then don’t even think of leaving.”‘He’s crazy! He’s completely insane! How does he say something like that? He’s just filth whose destiny is to be crushed!’After their initial shock, the people from the House of Priests showed playful expressions.‘We’ve seen a lot of reckless people already… But not to this extent!’“Good! Good!”Arlan froze for a moment before breaking into an icy smile.“It’s my first time seeing someone this impressive after so long!“It’s not that I don’t respect you, Ms. Charlotte! He just wants to die is all!”Arlan chuckled.“Kill him!”The people in gray robes cracked their necks before stepping forward.Bam, bam, bam!Gunshots were heard; two instantly fell to the ground, paralyzed. They were filled with
“The House of Priests will give you an explanation for the Lycan Pill, Mr. Yousef…”Arlan gritted his teeth for a moment, then sank into a deep bow.“We’ll put aside the family’s business for now.“However, you’ll have to deal with Sir York’s problem first. Kneel, apologize, then pay 1.5 million to Sir York!”The crowd’s eyes twitched.It was clear that to pamper Harvey and to make up for what happened… Yousef was dead set on standing up for Harvey.Charlotte showed an odd expression.The Hunt family wasn’t a sacred martial arts training ground, but the leader of the five hidden families. They had nothing to fear in a place like Wolsing.However, going against the House of Priests for the sake of Harvey was simply absurd.Arlan’s expression darkened.“Mr. Yousef, the House of Priests…”Slap!“Did I not make myself clear?” Yousef yelled. Arlan stumbled back, showing disbelief. “Mr. Yousef, we’ll give you an explanation for this. We…”Slap!Yousef slapped Arlan again. “I
“You’re crossing the line, Harvey!”Arlan stumbled off the ground with a vengeful expression.“You think you can hold me down just because you have the Hunt family’s support? I’ll just drag you down with me if I want to!”Bam!Harvey instantly kicked Arlan down. “Do it, then!”Yousef glowered at Arlan. “Try it!”‘That bastard! He’s using someone else’s strength! He’s just scaring me, is all!’Arlan felt utterly resentful.He really wanted to take out Harvey right there and then—but he knew that he’d die as well if he tried.He came here to join the martial arts tournament! He came to Wolsing to make a name for himself!He only caused trouble to Harvey to stand up for his junior and earn his position as the young master, then marry his senior before reaching the pinnacle of his life.He wouldn’t want to die here!Besides, Arlan wasn’t just an ordinary person either; he could tell that the fierce men in suits were the same. Not only were they expert martial artists, they were
Harvey squinted, glaring coldly at Arlan.He wouldn’t care if Arlan were to know his limits.But if that wasn’t the case…After seeing Arlan and the others stumble out of the hall, Charlotte looked strangely at Harvey.“Again…“If you get into trouble, you can call me as long as people participating in the martial arts tournament are involved.“I suggest you leave Wolsing as well. After all… Arlan’s quite the infamous madman in the House of Priests.”Harvey smiled as he looked at Charlotte.“Thank you for that, Ms. Charlotte. If you need me, you can call me as well!”Harvey handed her his name card.Charlotte froze; she believed that Harvey was only doing this because of his pride as a man. She couldn’t bear to refuse, and only left after taking the name card.Only Harvey and Yousef were left.Yousef came over with a fawning look.“Arlan is indeed insane, Sir York. I heard he’s gone too far because of his pursuit towards Paislee.“It’d be troubling to be remembered by suc
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
With an icy demeanor, Vaida said slowly to Coco, "What if I say no?""No?" Coco looked at Vaida as if she didn't know what was good for her. "What right do you have to say no? If you know what's good for you, you'll sell me Port View Restaurant cheap right now! Once my brother takes over, this place will ultimately become mine! Stop treating yourself like you're the owner here."Even the Belladonna Cult thinks you're just a madwoman, and that they should support my brother fully. Who do you think you are now? If it weren't for your father's reputation, everything the Belladonna Cult owned would have been confiscated by the city a long time ago! You’re just a schizophrenic woman… Do you really think you're anyone important?"I'll give you three seconds to get the hell out of the Supreme Chamber! Otherwise, I'm going to teach you a lesson!""I dare you to say that again," Vaida hissed.Her eyes turned even colder."A long time ago, Dan was the one begging my father, kneeling in fr
“However, if it's discovered that you have taken even a single cent from Port View Restaurant… I'm sorry, but I’ll have no choice but to send you to jail.”Vaida extended her finger and slowly mimicked slitting her throat.Upon hearing these words, Tina began to shudder, her face as pale as a sheet.Harvey gave an approving nod. Vaida was efficient and also dealt a powerful emotional blow. She stood on moral high ground, what she did was enough to infuriate Coco. All this while, the Parkers had treated Port View Restaurant as their asset. Coco might even be one of those who embezzled funds from the restaurant. If Vaida sent Tina to prison, this would indeed be very interesting.Tina's face was pale at that moment. She instinctively looked at Coco, trembling as she begged, "Princess Coco…"It was obvious that she believed only Coco could save her now. Coco furrowed her brows, and her expression darkened. She stared coldly at Vaida."No need to audit the accounts. I can tell y
"According to the rules, this place won't have anything to do with you anymore in the future!" Coco said confidently in front of everyone, wanting to shame Vaida publicly.Vaida spat icily, "According to the agreement, only when I can't find my man of destiny within the appointed time will all the Belladonna Cult's assets go to Dan. Unfortunately for you, I have already found him. From that moment onward, everything the cult owns has nothing to do with Dan anymore. Do you understand? But of course, if you think this place doesn't belong to me…"You can call the Seven Families Joint Meeting, and we can discuss this at length. Let's see who owns the Belladonna Cult's assets."Coco's expression turned a little colder after hearing that. However, she retrained her emotions and smiled brilliantly. She knew very well according to Grand City's rules, since Vaida managed to find her man of destiny, Dan would never be able to take over the Belladonna Cult's properties.But what if her man
"Vaida, Grand City is now governed by laws. It's not right to start hitting people here, isn't it?"Just as Tina was about to crawl away, the clacking of high heels came from the entrance. A faint scent of perfume wafted through the air with a somewhat seductive tang.Harvey instinctively looked at the entrance. Elegantly dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing. A gorgeous woman in her twenties led the entourage.Not only were her facial features exquisite, but she also had quite a curvaceous physique. There was an air of superiority surrounding her, as if she could easily overshadow everyone else. She was wearing the most fashionable black dress, showcasing her long legs and demonstrating her perfect curves.While this woman wasn't very mature, she was full of charm and allure. To use a more modern term, she was obviously quite the player and skilled at charming men. She was none other than Coco Parker, princess of Parkerville.The moment Tina saw that woman, she
Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip
"I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia
