"You… Good! It has been a long time since anyone acted so arrogantly in front of me!" Reggie snarled.He smiled coldly as he inserted his right hand into his pocket under his jacket, searching for something. "Oh, Harvey. Your ignorance and arrogance are shocking. Looks like I don't have to waste my breath with people like you. What I must do right now is kill you!"Reggie pulled out his right hand, and a masterwork firearm appeared in his hand. He unlocked the gun's safety and put the muzzle on Harvey's forehead, a brutal smile on his face. "Come on, why don't you start acting even more arrogantly? I know you're quite strong, but I don't think you can be even more powerful than a gun! Time has changed, Harvey!"All the beautiful women, including Hadlee, looked at Reggie with adulation. Their hands were on their chests. He did what those men from the underworld dared to do! He took out his gun immediately when things went bad so that he could have an absolute advantage!It was i
Reggie could feel the pressure in his chest and a metallic taste in his mouth. He coughed out a mouthful of blood.As Harvey stomped on his chest, Reggie felt like a mountain was right on top of him—he couldn't even resist. Even in a situation like this, he didn't pull the trigger, and was simply shaking. It was obvious he knew the consequences of using firearms in Wolsing.If he was simply trying to scare others with the gun, then "they" would simply gloss over it, letting it slide. If he really did pull the trigger, it was possible that he couldn't handle the consequences.That was why Reggie felt so frustrated at this moment. He didn't dare to pull the trigger, even with the gun in his hand. Meanwhile, Hadlee and the others all looked at Harvey in fear.Reggie was already quite conceited for daring to take out a gun in a place like this. They didn't expect Harvey would completely dominate Reggie again and again.Everything was beyond Reggie's expectations!"My, don't tell me t
At the foot of Fragrant Hill, the same time as Reggie surrendered.Clouds were rolling in the gray skies above. Sometimes, the clouds would make some space and a beam of moonlight would shoot down the earth, sacred and unblemished.About a hundred meters away from the road, several Toyota Land Cruisers had stopped. The door was kicked open, and a bag was thrown on the ground.At the same time, someone from inside the car rolled out a carpet on the ground. One of them even carefully moved out a chair made out of rosewood.After a while, a Toyota Alphard slowly made its way over. When it stopped, the back of the car was directly facing the chair.The back door opened, and a slender figure clad in a striped gray suit got out of the car. He then leaned on the chair. Someone gave him a cigar and lit it up for him.As the light flashed, everyone could see clearly who he was. It was Hector, one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing.After a few huffs and puffs, Hector slowly waved his h
Once Harvey had gotten enough evidence and testimony from Reggie, it was already eight at night. He wasn't in a rush to hunt down Hector, since everything had a time and place. If he immediately showed the evidence to Mandy and her family, it would make him look too intentional.Harvey took Tyson and the others to a barbecue restaurant before heading to the headquarters of Sky Corporation.Because of the fire earlier, Yvonne had found a new office building to be Sky Corporation's new headquarters. Harvey didn't go there for the past few days, but he knew the renovation at the entrance had already been completed. After giving it a thought, he decided to send some of Tyson's men to patrol the headquarters to deal with the security there. With his, he could prevent something like last time from happening again.Sky Corporation's stock prices had been doing well lately, and they managed to hire many well-known and talented people after moving to Wolsing.In just a very short time,
Harvey didn't waste his breath and asked Yvonne immediately, "What's going on down there?""Those are the investors we've convinced to join us for the past few days," Yvonne smiled bitterly. "They're all keeping an eye on us to prevent us from running because we've invested their money in the market for international crude oil.""Originally, according to our staff's estimation, the price for the crude oil will continue to increase. In the short term, we should be able to make a profit of 20%. However, about half an hour ago, someone suddenly started selling a large amount of crude oil in the international market."The price of crude oil collapsed. Those who had just invested millions and even billions in us couldn't stay still anymore. They're all waiting downstairs."However, they've seen a lot in their times, so they won't come up here and start any trouble even if they're worried. But if the market closes later tonight and we're forcibly liquidated, they won't show us any mercy.
"One A-dollar for a barrel? How is that even possible?" Yvonne was taken aback when she heard Harvey's suggested price."It's not impossible. Instead, I'm sure it will reach this price—perhaps even lower. But this price will only appear for a few minutes, perhaps even one. What we need to do is buy all the crude oil in the market in that one minute. At that time, it'll be our turn to decide the price."We'll make the price rise as much as we want because all the crude oil in the market belongs to us," Harvey said with a smile."Turning a disadvantage into an advantage, huh?" Yvonne understood what Harvey was planning after giving it a thought. "Don't worry, I'll execute your plan accordingly."Harvey smiled. That was what he liked about Yvonne. She wouldnn't doubt his judgment, and would act as he wanted until the end.He then sent out a few messages as he chatted. It wouldn't be possible for him to short-sell the crude oil market with Sky Corporation alone.Even the shor-seller
"I'm warning you now. When we first came to invest, Yvonne guaranteed us and staked the Xavier of Wolsing's reputation on this. She said there was no way we could lose our money, and we would make a killing out of this. Otherwise, we wouldn't have invested in this so-called Sky Corporation!" said the middle-aged woman as she glanced at the screen with an almost vertical line. She was literally heaving, barely able to contain her rage."And in the end, you invested all of our money into the futures market for crude oil without our consent. And you said we can earn a 20% profit? But now, we have already lost 60% of our starting capital! I'm telling you right now that no matter how much your company has lost, you will refund all of our capital!"We're not anyone that you can deceive so easily. Also, Ray can't leave. Isn't he the vice CEO of this company? Who are we going to ask for money if he leaves?"Ray frowned and tried to explain, "Mr. Harvey is our corporation's—""Your corporat
"We don't care. We have already invested our money in you. Since you're not listed publicly, you must guarantee profits once you have our money.""That's right. If it isn't because we saw you earn so much the first few times, do you think we would entrust you with our money?" said the middle-aged woman coldly. "If you cannot guarantee a profit nor can you guarantee our capital is safe, we're going to destroy your company and sue you!"Harvey frowned and said, "Since you've come to our company today, you must have signed a contract with us. Then, you should know that it's clearly stated in the contract that no investments can guarantee a profitable return. The only thing that Sky Corporation can do is to do our best and make sure we don't lose our clients' money."When it comes to investment, there are no high returns for safe investments. Investments with high rewards usually have high risks as well. That's the basics of investment. Don't tell me you didn't understand any of this be
"Harvey, I'm different from my father! He's a real knight, and he likes to duel others fair and square. He always gives others the benefit of the doubt. That's why he was killed after being ambushed by you!" Souichiro started to whitewash his father, although one might wonder what was the point of doing that now."But I'm different. As the new Battle Demon of Shindan Way, I will use everything I can to win. If you think you can win against me just because you defeated my father using an ambush, then all I can say is that you're too naïve!"Now, kneel and guard my father's tomb for a decade! Tell everyone that Country H's martial arts aren't as good as the Island Nation's martial arts and that Country H isn't as good as the Island Nation! Then, I can consider not killing you."Harvey signaled Yvonne to go to the corner and then looked at the sky. "The sky's getting dark. No wonder some people started dreaming.""You… You talk too much!" Seeing that Harvey refused to surrender, Sou
All the Shindan Way's elites didn't feel ashamed about it at all. To them, everything would be fine as long as Souichiro had enough power whether it was gained through an external means or otherwise.In the Island Nation's martial arts community, power was everything. No one cared how you got that power. The end justified the means.At this time, they were all expecting that Souichiro could avenge Akio.When Leighton heard what the Shindan Way's higher-ups had to say, his eyes widened in realization. "I see! It's similar to one of our sayings, where a cat is a good cat regardless of its colors as long as it can catch rats! In this world, power is everything!"The rest of the Islanders agreed with that expression. Since Souichiro wanted to have his revenge, it wouldn't be strange if he was willing to use everything he had at his disposal. As long as he could win, as long as he could kill Harvey… As long as he could succeed, it didn't matter what methods he used.Many Islanders st
"If that's the case, step aside and kneel! You have no right to stand here!" Harvey pointed at the drainage at the side, disdainful. All the Islanders present felt embarrassed after hearing that. They were furious, wishing they could kill him right there and then.Leighton and the other traitors could only watch with widened eyes. They still couldn't understand where Harvey got the courage to threaten the people of an entire country on his own. Did he know no fear?Yvonne looked at Harvey with admiration in her eyes.This was Harvey York—someone who could stand above the rest even when he was on his own. The Islanders were nothing before him."Fool! You're a huge fool!"Before Shingen could react, the Battle Demon of the Shindan Way, Souichiro Yashiro, stepped forward and walked to the edge of the stage. There was a longsword and shortsword on his belt. He glared at Harvey and said darkly, "I know you, Harvey. Back in Mordu, you ambushed my father and destroyed the Shindan Way
"If it isn't because I still have a wedding and didn't want my hands to be soaked in blood, I can kill you instantly with my thumb," Shingen said to Harvey. To see what else Harvey could do, Shingen didn't want to attack Harvey directly right now and was hoping someone else would. However, his words were full of contempt."You now have one last chance. Tell that woman next to you to serve me willingly, and you can watch the wedding on the side while kneeling. Do that, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, just a signal from me and you'll die by a million cuts!"All the Islanders weren't sure how to react when they heard what Shingen had to say.Harvey remained calm. When the elites from the Six Martial Arts Schools and Five Royal Families saw that he didn't react, all of them took a step forward. They were no match for Harvey alone, but they didn't mind it if they could all attack together.They acted as if they would kill Harvey immediately if he refused to submit."Oh? Are you going
Aya Fujiwara was from the branch family of the Island Nation's royal family. She couldn't be compared to anyone, whether it was in terms of her potential or the resources she had access to.While her name wasn't well-known when she came to celebrate Shingen's wedding, her martial arts inheritance came directly from the Island Nation's royal family, and she was quite powerful. When even someone like her felt that Harvey was extremely powerful, there was a problem.As for Shouta, who had failed earlier, he could feel his face start to pulse in pain again. He felt lucky that Harvey didn't throw the coffin at him. Otherwise, he would end up worse than Nobita.All the other elites from the other Island Nation schools of martial arts could only watch in disbelief.They knew Harvey was very powerful and could fight with a sword saint for hundreds of rounds. However, they thought Harvey had only won after using a sneak attack. Nobita was one of the three primary disciples of the Shinto
"You…little…bastard…" Leighton finally felt terrified. Someone like him knew little shame—so what if he was called a few names? He could still continue to act like a public figure and judge on the internet, and earn money from all the tragedies.However, if Harvey recorded everything he said just now and put it on the internet, he would become a publicly hated traitor. And then, he would lose all value. Even the Islanders wouldn't want to use him anymore.The moment that thought entered his mind, Leighton pointed at Harvey and roared, "Take… Take him down, Mr. Shingen! You can't let him leave here alive!""Shingen," Harvey said, not wanting to give Leighton any more attention. "I didn't expect a dog you keep can order you around. As the scion of the Shinto Way, you aren't respected at all. Since you've lost your honor, are you going to do what your tradition demands of you and kill yourself?"Shingen narrowed his eyes when he heard those words. Rather than losing himself to anger
"Ha… You want to accuse Mr. Shingen of using this as evidence? A video you got from gods know where?" Leighton scoffed.As expected of someone of his age and experience. Leighton narrowed his eyes, already thinking of a way to deal with this mess. "Someone like Mr. Shingen wouldn't have logically done something like this. It simply proves that you have plotted to crash this wedding for a long time! "While I don't want to acknowledge that the people from my country like to scheme this way, after seeing what you've offered today, I have no choice but to apologize to the world on behalf of all our countrymen. Our country is truly a country of fakes! I'm ashamed that all of you gotta see this. I am so sorry!"After saying those words unapologetically, Leighton glared at Harvey and continued coldly, "Harvey, stop humiliating yourself! Just acknowledge your shameful actions and that you want to crash this wedding. "Is it really that difficult? I know you're jealous of someone as succ
Everyone present at the wedding was stunned when they heard Yvonne's words. They didn't expect the marriage to have such a heinous secret.Crack!When Shingen heard those words from Yvonne, his face instantly darkened. The teacup in his hand broke into pieces.He didn't expect someone to save Sheldon.Didn't the Xaviers promise him that they were going to use Sheldon to force Yvonne to comply? Once Yvonne had married him, wouldn't they kill Sheldon? To make sure that things were done as promised, he even sent dozens of Shinto Way's elites to keep an eye on Sheldon.If Sheldon was saved and his henchmen didn't have any reaction at all…When that thought crossed Shingen's mind, he quickly took out his phone and dialed a few numbers. But then, he quickly crushed his phone. There was no exception. None of the calls went through—which meant something had happened to all the elites he had sent.He had lost even more!What was more, since Yvonne had openly revealed this, it didn't m
"An outsider like you came to my wedding to steal my bride… Who do you think you are?" Shingen said righteously. "Do you think we Islanders can be bullied? Do you think that the Shinto Way can be harassed so easily? I'm telling you right now… No matter what happens to you, the Island Nation will file a protest against Country H. We will demand reparations from your country!" When Shingen said that, he was implying that Harvey was humiliating the entire Island Nation.Hearing what Shingen had to say, all the Islanders were angry at Harvey as well, as if they were facing a common enemy.While this place still belonged to Country H, right now they were standing at the Island Nation embassy. It was a territory belonging to the Island Nation.Everything that Harvey did not only humiliated the Shinto Way, but also the entire Island Nation!The moment that thought crossed their minds, the leader of the Shindan Way's elites who were enemies with Harvey stood up and said maliciously, "H
