Harvey nodded and pointed at himself, saying, "That's right. Me."And then, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number he hadn't called for a long time. In a faint voice, he said, "I heard there's someone from your company called Antonio Lee. He's your scion or something."Tell them—I'm going to waste him."If I can't, I'll waste the Star Financial Group instead."Harvey didn't care what the other side had to say, and simply hung up the call.When he was in Buckwood, he had already dealt with Star Financial Group once.And thanks to Yvonne making her strategic moves all this while, most of the shares of Star Financial Group in the Far East now belonged to Harvey.He had also possessed a lot of their shares in the other areas through Sky Corporation.In other words, while Country A still held considerable influence over Star Financial Group, if Harvey wanted to, he could easily destroy this so-called number-one corporation from Country J."You'll waste the Star Financial Gro
"You're expecting me to believe you if I just give up and let you capture me, that this will be all over?" Harvey said. Every single sentence he said was true.Antonio could only look at Harvey, stunned. Even if Harvey surrendered, he wouldn't let Harvey go so easily.From that angle, it didn't matter much whether Harvey was going to be stubborn or surrender."And you equate me crossing you and your country as offending the whole world?" Harvey went on. "Do you think there's a point in your country's existence if it isn't because the people from Country A need you to make money for them?"Just how arrogant can you be?"Harvey sighed when he realized how they didn't know their place on the world stage.Just how much had they been hypnotizing themselves to the point they believed that they were the greatest nation in this world?How interesting.Then, there was a shriek. Antonio shook in pain as boiling hot coffee was poured on his face.However, he didn't simply surrender.
"You're finally here, Representative Lee!""Any more delays, and this man is going to walk all over Mr. Antonio!""You're the representative of Star Financial Group in the Far East! You're someone who truly has powers here, so you must make him feel pain!""He doesn't know his place at all! His motormouth won't stop humiliating us!""Kill him!"Antonio struggled to get up. Gritting his teeth, he snarled, "That's right, May. Just kill him already! You have to shatter every bone in his body! Otherwise, I'll ask Father to remove you from your station and have you investigated!"After Antonio was done, he gave Harvey a gleeful look and added, "You're a dead man walking now, Harvey!"My younger sister is the representative of our company's Far East division."And she even knows someone extremely important in Country H!"That person is so influential in your country that he can easily affect everything within."Now… No one in your entire country will dare protect you."Why aren't
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at the beautiful May in front of him.Even just her pose right now was visually very appealing to him.While what he did in the very beginning against Star Financial Group was intentional, everything he did in the end was incidental. It seemed May had indeed already seized control of the Star Financial Group. This pawn of his might be incredibly effective with his situation in Wolsing right now.When Harvey thought of it, he smiled and said, "Stand up straight."You should understand that if I do want to pursue you for neglect in your duties, you wouldn't be standing here right now."The reason I asked you to come here and do what… I believe I've already made it very clear in our call just now."May slightly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. York. I will give you a proper explanation once all is said and done."After hearing what May was saying, Antonio could only shudder as he watched her with disbelief.He realized something.Harvey w
Half an hour later, Antonio was dragged away in a terrible state. All his so-called martial arts experts had been captured as well.No one could have expected that the scion of Star Financial Group, Antonio, would disappear in the pages of history so easily.As compensation for what happened, May had properly apologized and even sent Harvey to one of the classical-styled estates owned by the conglomerate.The estate was a personal estate of the owner of the Star Financial Group. However, May offered it to Harvey as a gift without thinking twice despite not being her own.Harvey wasn't very particular when it came to his accommodation.However, the estate was in a quieter area within the first ring of the city. Not only was it closer to Wolsing's city center, but most important was the fact that the surroundings nearby were quite tranquil. It was as if they wanted to find a place of solitude in the bustling city.Thinking that he couldn't live in a hotel long-term, Harvey gave it
Hector merely smiled coldly at Hannah. "Don't tell me you're going to personally forge this alliance of ours by marrying me?"Hannah froze a little before chuckling. "I don't see a problem with that."As long as you're ambitious and bold enough, I can agree to your proposal. But the problem is… Are you?"Hector noted the tease in Hannah's tone, and scoffed. "A friend's wife is off-limits."While he was one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, he was ranked last among the four.Hannah was the fiancee of another member of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing. There was no need for him to gain such a powerful enemy over a woman.When Hannah heard what Hector said, she grinned. "Someone like you care about that?"The edge of Hector's mouth twitched as he said, "That man is a very close friend of mine. We're like brothers."If I do have my sights set on you, he'll personally kill me."And from my calculation, he has more than a 60% chance of killing me."If I have so little chance o
Hector narrowed his eyes as he listened to Hannah.What Harvey did yesterday not only humiliated him, but had completely demolished whatever dignity he had. Otherwise, he wouldn't use Antonio to go against Harvey.But…After giving it a thought, Hector decided to be truthful. "What's happening right now is already somewhat out of my control. The family already knew that the Sutra of Nourishment's content had been leaked."However, no one believed that Harvey had already known the content beforehand."So, the most probable reason is that one of the branches of the Thompson family had a turncoat and leaked the content to him."Our family will make a full investigation regarding this."As soon as we find out what happened, there will be a time when we will settle our score."Hannah smiled silently as she heard this, and said nothing else.Hector also remained silent, and let the van drive into the dark alleyway.The next morning, Harvey was having his breakfast at the estate w
Harvey didn't want to get involved with the Sacred Martial Arts Training Ground just yet.It wasn't because he was afraid of them.Rather, it was because the Country H Martial Arts Alliance had just become one of the five great directors of the World Martial Arts Alliance. If they were to start infighting at this time, it wouldn't do any good for the Country H Martial Arts Alliance. Instead, it would greatly damage their reputation.That was why Harvey didn't start any trouble with the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, even when they didn't inform him that they were organizing the martial arts tournament in Wolsing.However, Harvey didn't mind. He simply cared about the big picture.But from the looks of it, his inaction became a show of weakness in some of their eyes."Alright. Let's go to the scene of the crime. We need some evidence when we start to make some noise, don't you think?" Harvey said.After giving it a thought, he stood up. Yvonne nodded slightly; she walked ou
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
