"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
Harvey knew very well that, right now, he was Sky Corporation's boss in name only.Other than some major decisions, all the other executive decisions were done by Yvonne and Ray together.However, if their opponents were to make a strike and take out either Yvonne or Ray…It wasn't a loss Harvey was willing to bear right now.Yvonne could feel the concern from Harvey, and nodded gently. "Don't worry."I'll be more cautious from now on and prepare more manpower."I'll also ask Tyson and George to work together. Especially once George is here, we can seize the initiative when it comes to information."Harvey nodded. "Once George is here, tell him to put all his efforts into finding out who else is making their moves against us other than Hummingbar."While Sky Corporation always walked the path of a king, I don't mind walking the path of a tyrant if someone decides to make such an ignorant move."Harvey's eyes flashed. "Right. There's something else you need to bear in mind abou
'The fire's already extinguished. Why is there still a crowd?'The thought had only crossed Harvey's mind, and he instantly noticed what was wrong with this place.The next moment, Harvey immediately picked Yvonne up by the waist and shoved her back into the van. At the same time, he threw the car key inside as well and told her to lock the car up.The security members inside the other vans had just wanted to rush out, but Harvey stopped them with a hand signal and gestured to them to start the car and leave.At that moment, whether it was the crowd or the firefighters that were scattering, the crowd all turned and looked at Harvey.While they had no guns in their hands, all of them had a repeating crossbow in their hands, a blue glow surrounding the tip of the bolt. They aimed at Harvey, and pulled the trigger.Harvey's expression darkened as he faced the bolts coming his way.Few people would dare to use firearms in Wolsing. That would attract the attention of the Captain Gene
"Fine, let's stop wasting our breaths now," Linus said as if he had lost his patience. He immediately stubbed out the cigar in his hand and squinted his eyes as he looked at Yvonne. "I'll give you one day. At this time tomorrow, I want to see all the Xaviers of Wolsing kneel before me and all your assets tallied."You and you. Wait for me in my presidential suite tomorrow night," ordered Linus, pointing at Yvonne and Sia. If you miss even one of them, then Wolsing no longer needs a Xavier family."After that, Linus gave a despicable smile and waved his hand, wanting to take everyone with him and leave. Everyone from the Xavier family could only watch with dark expressions. Yvonne and Sia's faces were red with anger."I don't think we have to wait until tomorrow," Harvey stood up with his hands behind his back. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the shareholders. And I believe I have enough say regarding this. There's nothing wrong if you want to take something back from the X
Listening to Linus' gloat, Yvonne's expression slightly darkened. "You're shameless, Linus! Using fabricated evidence to threaten us!""Fabricated?" Linus shrugged. "You know best whether these things actually exist or not. I don't care what your aims are, but aren't you the ones signing these contracts? Don't tell me I'm the one signing it?"All I want to do is to reveal the truth, and you suddenly can't take it anymore? All I did was gently remind you that you, Xaviers of Wolsing, were born and raised here in Country H."What, scared? But I remember there's a saying. A clean hand wants no washing. But do you really think you're clean? Maybe, after I expose these secrets, I might be able to help your country find a family that also has many traitors within it."Linus snickered after he said that, looking as despicable as possible."We can explain everything from the beginning to the end," Jesse could not help but reply as he looked at how despicable Linus was. "If worse comes to
"Evidence working with Islanders?" A glint flashed through Yvonne's eyes. "What do you mean?"Jesse also added, "Everything you've presented is just typical business contracts. The Xaviers' businesses are spread throughout the globe, so there's nothing unusual about what you've just shown.While he was saying that, Jesse clenched his right hand slightly. These were some of the contracts they had signed in order to drag Shinto Way into the mud. After what had happened last night, they were supposed to be all destroyed.However, for some reason, there were photos of these contracts in Linus' possession. It was problematic, true, but not exactly serious.Even Harvey put down his cup. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen, and his expression became somewhat serious. Nashon was the same, and the wrinkle on his forehead became even more profound.Linus laughed, noticing everyone's change in expression, and told the lawyer to start showing more photos. As the lawyer did that, Lin
"Settle the score? What score is there to be settled?" asked Yvonne as she glared at Linus' face."Stop with the act. Of course there is," Linus blew a ring of smoke at Yvonne's face. "Your branch has conspired against us and stolen all the Xaviers' assets. And now, you're going to pretend it never happened? It's not going to be that easy."The reason I'm coming back this time is to warn you. You can either give us back the Xaviers of Wolsing, or I'll forcibly take it back. However, when I do make my move, the entire process wouldn't be that pleasant."Yvonne chuckled and said, "Your things? When your branch left the country, the entire country only left us a single bread. Everything the Xaviers of Wolsing had right now was built using our own two hands. What does this even have to do with you? Whether through logic or the law, what we have now has nothing to do with you. And now, you said you want everything? Who gave you that kind of bravery?"Linus laughed. "Do you think I'll co
"Do you know how we do it in Country A? To cultivate our fighters, we simply inject them with genetic drugs. If we succeed, they become our fighters. If we fail, we'll dump them into the bin. Cultivating a martial artist like you requires decades, But the genetically engineered elites? I only need about ten days. Just that alone; how are you going to fight against us?"Linus' disdain was obvious. He looked down on the Xaviers of Wolsing, especially the primitive techniques used in Country H. In his understanding, Country A's genetic technology was invincible."Well, if I knew you were doing so bad here, I would have prepared dozens of bodyguards for you. They can guard you while you're alive and dead!" Linus cackled in madness and arrogance.All the people he brought over had a meaningful smile on their faces.Meanwhile, the martial artist elites that the Xaviers of Wolsing had cultivated looked at them angrily.It was apparent that Linus' words not only humiliated the Xaviers of
"What are you doing? Why didn't you crawl and go on your knees when you saw your master return, and you keep on screaming when the Xavier family of Wolsing is just a vassal of Country A Xavier Inc!"Didn't that old man Nashon ever teach you what to do? Your attitude makes Country A Xavier Inc. very sad! Even a dog I raise won't bite me, but all you do is keep barking!" reprimanded Linus as he kept shaking his head as if he had got the wrong dog.But the most important part was that such words were aimed at the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families of Country H. While shocking, it also showed just how domineering Country A Xavier Inc. is.Nashon's expression also instantly turned dark.But before he could say anything, Yvonne snorted and said, " Country A Xavier Inc? They're just one branch of our family who betrayed our family. They're just a conglomerate that managed to expand their business after running away into Country A! And now you dare to come here to treat the pl
Vroom!Just as Harvey and the others were almost finished and were about to move on to tea and desserts, the sounds of engines roaring suddenly came from the side door where they were having lunch.At the same time, there were also the sounds of the Xavier family's security guards calling and yelling.But for some reason, the usually stubborn security guards could not stop the engine sounds from getting closer. Very quickly, twelve Black Badge Rolls-Royce drove over and stopped right at the entrance of the side chamber with arrogance.All the artificial hills, flowers, and grass were in a mess.Thump! Thump! Thump!Instantly, dozens of men in military uniforms opened the door and exited from their cars. Their eyes were full of spirit and full of vitality. It was obvious that they were all martial arts elites. Other than that, there were also dozens of elite men and women wearing suits and leather shoes.Then, two sexy secretaries walked over to the car's back seat and opened the
"Harvey's here," Nashon smiled when he saw Harvey arrive. His smile was even brighter than usual when he knew Harvey had agreed to sign the contract.Obviously, Nashon was getting increasingly happy with this man who might become his family's son-in-law in the future."Come, let me introduce someone to you. Behind Yvonne is my granddaughter and Yvonne's cousin, Sia Xavier."Meanwhile, Harvey gave Sia a strange look. She was a young woman who was of 18-years-of-age. She had just matured, and an innocent aura surrounded her. Her plump face and her hourglass figure made her have both innocence and lust.If she were to download a particular streaming app and start streaming, she would instantly get tens of millions of fans very quickly."Come, this is Harvey." Obviously, Yvonne also doted on her cousin.Sia's eyes landed on Harvey briefly, and she weakly greeted, "Brother-in-law…"When Yvonne heard that, her face turned red, and Harvey's expression instantly froze as he almost fell
Harvey sighed. "I thought so too; that's why I gathered everyone here. Why don't all of you give it a look and see what we should do? Should we sign the contract?"Harvey said in a helpless tone. "The old man also said that I don't have to worry. This is not part of Yvonne's assets if she marries over… That the Xavier family wouldn't be such a cheapskate…"The atmosphere became even more awkward. Everyone knew that Yvonne only had her eyes on Harvey, but Harvey's attitude was unclear. After receiving this 10% share, Sky Corporation will be completely bonded with Xavier Corporation.Perhaps Nashon also wanted to use this chance to improve Harvey and Yvonne's relationship a little more.Tyson grinned and said, "Boss, seeing that Yvonne treats you that well, why don't you just marry into the Xavier family and become their live-in son-in-law? That's one of the top ten families in Country H, and if Sky Corporation works with them, we might have a fighting chance even if we're going agai
