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
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
