Gaspar Lee boasted he could do whatever he wanted in the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.He boasted that he had garnered some respect in the entire country. He never knew there would be a time when he would be taken advantage of like this.But the most important part about all of this was not the loss he suffered but the fact that he himself had suffered such humiliation.He was at such an advanced age and called himself the seneschal. He also maintained communication with all the major training grounds.How was he supposed to interact with them after suffering such humiliation?However, despite his regrets and resentment, Gaspar dared not say anything anymore.That was because he finally realized it.The others might show him some respect, but Harvey York never cared about giving him any respect at all."It's a good thing that you know your place," said Harvey when he saw how Gaspar suppressed his dissatisfaction. Then, Harvey covered Gaspar's face with the tissue paper he ha
A loud gunshot could be heard.Everyone else saw Harvey gently raise his right hand with his middle and index-finger coming together to catch something. The specially made bullet then fell in Harvey York's hand.If it were not because there was smoke coming from the spot between Harvey's fingers, many of them would think this was fake."How's that even possible…" Caelum Hughes was stunned.He knew how powerful the special firearms from Country A were.It was said that it had been used to kill a True Warrior. It was one of the most powerful weapons they had against martial arts elites.However, Harvey could easily block the attack from this specialized weapon.How…In that instant, Caelum wanted to pinch himself to see if he was really dreaming."Back to you."Harvey said calmly and flicked his finger.There was a loud snap. Caelum, self-styled one of the Four Kings of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, could not even dodge it.He let out a cry and flew out instantly. When he
When Caelum Hughes heard what Harvey York had to say, his heart skipped a beat.He originally had complete confidence in how much power Hummingbar had. But looking at Harvey's attitude and how the others looked at them like watching a show, he suddenly realized something.Had someone used him and Hummingbar as some kind of a tool?And it was not a tool to take Harvey down, but just a tool to test Harvey.And the truth was that not only did Hummingbar lose, but they also lost completely during this round of testing.From this day forward, Hummingbar would not even hold the same level of authority within the Alliance as before.The moment that thought crossed his mind, he could feel a chill run down his spine.Caelum no longer held the same arrogance the moment he realized that.Harvey smiled. "Looks like you finally understand. I guess you do have the capacity to learn. Now, I'll give you one more chance. Apologize to me and crawl back to whatever hole you come from.""You…" Ca
Ten minutes later, the inner hall of the Songstress's Stage was left empty.The arrogant crowd sitting inside moments before left after politely saying their goodbyes to Harvey York.Harvey did not bother to take them seriously and simply waved them goodbye with a smile. He even gave them all an elegantly made name card.After they left, Charlotte Padget looked at Harvey strangely as she stood next to him. She wanted to say something, but she could not."Are you trying to say I'm being a little too easygoing? I've just completely humiliated Caelum and the others, but I'm already giving out name cards. You're not used to something like this, are you?" said Harvey after he glanced at Charlotte."A little. Normally speaking, they will side with Caelum," Charlotte replied."You're wrong. They all represent each individual training ground. They have never sided with Caelum. They have sided with the side that has the benefits," said Harvey calmly."If Caelum was the one that had defea
"Huh?" Charlotte Padget's face flushed when she heard what Harvey York said. "Mr. Representative, I…"Harvey did not take note of the changes on Charlotte's face and simply continued with the conversation as he enjoyed the landscape painting hanging on the wall. "While I'm a representative of the Alliance, I'm unfamiliar with its inner workings."But you, on the other hand, are very familiar with it. I admire the way you work and your personality. That's why I want you to work for me. In other words, I want you to help me understand the situation within the Alliance. That's the reason I'm telling you all this."Does that make sense?"After listening to him, Charlotte realized what Harvey meant but felt a little disappointed for some reason.However, she would not dwell on her awkwardness, especially as a warrior. "Since you appreciate my work, I'm more than happy to work for you. But on one condition, Mr. Representative."Harvey spoke with a smile. "Speak.""Once you are fully i
Harvey York did not hang up as he caught a cab. Then, he continued talking to Xynthia Zimmer on the phone, "Tell me what you know right now so I have an idea of what's going on later."Xynthia quickly nodded. "Of course. After you helped my sister with the advanced sales permit, she performed a series of marketing activities and sold more properties, which helped with the company's capital flow."To help improve the sales number even more, she put 50 fully renovated and furnished homes on sale yesterday, saying that the buyers could move in anytime. No one expected any accident to happen!"Some residents who bought the homes yesterday moved into their new homes. But this morning, all of them had an allergic reaction. Not only had their skin turned red, but the skin for some of them had even started to rot."Now all of them are at the ninth branch's company asking for the company to give them an explanation. A few of the older women who had their faces scarred were the most brutal.
"There she is! It's Mandy!""That bastard! How dare you appear before us, you greedy little whore!""Compensation! We want compensation!"At this moment, the exclusive elevator used by the CEO of the ninth branch's company opened. Mandy Zimmer came out under the protection of eight bodyguards. The moment she appeared, the crowd was immediately riled up.One of the middle-aged women dressed like a prim and proper lady threw the Chanel purse in her hand at Mandy and cursed at her as she pointed her finger at Mandy. "I shouldn't have trusted you, Mandy!"You bought all the bedding from me, and I even gave you a discount. But you sold me a property that has excessive formaldehyde! I've only stayed there for one night, and I'm feeling painful all over after it triggered an allergic response… And you even destroyed my face!"Your company's greed is impossible! You don't care about anything so that you can earn more money! What you did is going to get you into prison! "I don't care wh
At this time, Mandy Zimmer removed her mask and walked over to Harvey York saying, "Everyone, please calm down. Violence can't solve any problem!""The staff from the Environment Agency has already closed off the neighborhood just now, and we have also invited three of the country's best laboratories to join the investigation. Give me three days, and they will be able to reach a conclusion!""If everything you've gone through is truly caused by the property that our company renovated and furnished, then I promise to do my best to compensate you."Not only will I refund you, I'll pay you triple the amount. And we also promise you to pay for all your medical expenses, and I will personally give myself up to the police so that I can be brought to court."But before there are any results, I hope all of you can control yourselves. Because that's the only way I can give you an answer you'll be satisfied with. Otherwise, if something happens to me or the company, who will you ask for comp
"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
"Then, it has been decided," Nashon replied and waved his hand, stopping whatever Yvonne wanted to say. "You can treat this as compensation, or you can treat this as us adding more duties to you. Regardless, from now onward, the only person who has authority over you within this family is me. "Even your cousin Jesse will be under your command when necessary. If there are no accidents, then you'll be the next matriarch of the Xavier family."Nashon then smiled at Harvey and said, "Harvey, I have a suggestion. Since we're on this topic, I wonder if you'd consider it. We, the Xaviers of Wolsing, lack a live-in son-in-law. If you're willing to, it's fine even if the patriarch of the Xavier family uses the last name York, right?"Harvey was speechless. The old man would do everything to drag him down into the mud!"So, are you happy with my explanation?" Nashon gave Harvey a meaningful smile and an even more meaningful look. Obviously, if Harvey nodded, wealth beyond his imagination wo
"As for using Sheldon to force Yvonne, now you must understand that all this is just a scheme. No matter how far our family has fallen, we don't have to explain our scheme to outsiders, correct?' Nashon smiled faintly. While his words were quite soft, Harvey's inquisition of him was useless.Harvey narrowed his eyes. While he had always known the old man would be quite a handful, he did not realize he would be so hard to deal with. Nashon laughed and waved his hand when he noticed the slight change in Harvey's expression.Shortly after, a maid walked over with an ancient wine flask, next to sleek wine glasses.Nashon picked up the flask, poured the two glasses full, and winked at Harvey. "Come, Harvey. Why don't we taste this Spirit Wine that I frequently obtained from an auction recently?""Spirit Wine?"Harvey frowned and narrowed his eyes. He could sense that the wine was not some ordinary wine, but he did not know why Nashon suddenly wanted to bring this thing out.When Nasho
"I don't think so. You never underestimated me," replied Harvey, with conviction. "Meanwhile, I did underestimate the Xavier family's ambition. You used my hand to destroy the Shinto Way's foundation so you could take everything they owned within our country. Aren't you afraid you'll get too full if you eat everything in one go?"Jesse, who had not said anything until now, narrowed his eyes as he heard what Harvey had to say. He did not expect Harvey to have already figured everything out alone.Meanwhile, there was little to no change in Nashon's expression. He simply smiled and said, "Don't worry about us. While we have used you, but you can't blame us since Yvonne is our scheme's most important piece. To us, all she needed to do was to act as bait. As for who were the ones coming for the bait… That would be our consideration."Harvey's expression became cold. "If I never came, won't Yvonne fall into the hands of the Islanders?""And will you allow it?" Nashon laughed. "Even if y
Third ring of Wolsing, ten in the evening.Compared to the dilapidated Island Nation embassy in the outer ring, the Xavier residence in the third ring of Wolsing looked mysterious and solemn. Not long after leaving the embassy, he did not waste his breath and immediately told Jesse to lead the way and bring him and Yvonne back to the Xavier of Wolsing.He had to explain certain things even if it was to the top ten families of Country H. Otherwise, this would not be a complete scheme. Jesse said nothing and simply led the way in silence.The three swiftly walked through winding paths past corridors, lakes, and artificial hills. In the end, they arrived at an old building in the middle of the residence.While this place looked empty and deserted, the reality was that this place was filled with lethal dangers. Those who came here without informing the people here ahead would not even know how they died.The candle in the old candle holder was burning within the building. While it was
Whoosh!Aya gave it her all, but Harvey simply swung his sword. But Harvey's seemingly underwhelming attack defended against Aya's explosive offensive. Aya did not choose to retreat after her attack failed. Her princess pride did not allow her to retreat simply.She took a deep breath and gave her 120%. Her power and speed were much faster when she attacked again. However, the moment the attack was going to fall, Aya shuddered. Because she noticed that Harvey's eyes had always been so cold from the very beginning…It was as if he had seen through life and death…It was as if he had seen through her life and death…Unspeakable despair grew in Aya's heart, and she felt that her sight began to be covered in darkness. A cold aura seemed to cover her from all directions, making it hard for her to breathe.Clang!At this moment, Harvey's swing clashed with Aya's full-powered strike. However, Aya could simply feel her hand shaking and her right hand numbed. And then, the blade of her s
