"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
