The Lamborghini sped onto the highway, blending in with the endless stream of vehicles.Harvey was enjoying the scenery on the side. Shortly after, he noticed that all the skyscrapers and high-rise buildings were slowly disappearing from view. Even the signature building of Wolsing also slowly receded from his vision.The buildings around him are slowly becoming more classical. It was not long until an estate came into his view.Brick roads separated the estates here, and statues on both sides guarded the entrances of many of the estates. It was obvious that this place was where the nobilities of the past dynasties used to stay.In ancient times, this place was where the nobilities lived their daily lives. All the buildings he saw right now were beyond the reach of most commoners.Of course, it was the same for this era as well. Commoners did not even have the right to apply to become household staff or even cleaners in this place.The car quickly stopped outside a huge estate lo
Harvey felt like he was looking at concubines from a bygone era as he looked at the women, old-fashioned and drowned in decadence. He instinctively felt disgusted."Were you looking for me, stepmother?"It seemed like Journi did not like what she was looking at as well, but she still started the conversation with a blank expression.It was obvious that the woman who won the card game was Elric's current wife, Pamela Thompson. She was barely a few years older than Journi."Stepmother?" Pamela glanced coldly at Journi. "I told you many times. You can either call me mom or mother. You keep on calling me stepmother… Will you only be satisfied by reminding me that I'm your father's subsequent wife? Or maybe you think I can't deal with you after you mocked me like that?"Pamela was sneering at this time, and she seemed surrounded by an air of arrogance that Harvey could not really put his finger on. However, Harvey could already tell from Pamela's last name that she was most likely some
Harvey looked at Pamela with a dry smile. It seemed like Pamela was really treating herself like a big shot. He wondered what her expression would be if she knew he was the one who killed the Thompson family's scion, Hector.Before Harvey could say anything, Journi had already taken a step forward and gave Pamela a cold glare. "I'm warning you, stepmother. You should stop insulting my boyfriend. Since he's my boyfriend, I will protect him. Even if he's living off of me, it won't change the truth that he's my boyfriend."I'm also clarifying my stance one more time. I'm not interested in Emery. Never have and never will. So, you can stop building castles in the cloud and try to match the two of us.""Ha! You must have watched too many teen dramas," the expression on Pamela's face did not change much even after being rejected by Journi as she simply watched with interest. "Do you know I've hired someone to be my fake boyfriend and played the same act when I was younger? At the time, I
"You…!" When Pamela heard what Journi proclaimed, she stood up out of sheer anger and pointed her finger at Journi. She wanted to say something but realized that nothing she said would carry any meaning at this time. Journi was willing to sacrifice her life; what else could Pamela say to threaten her?When the thought crossed Pamela's mind, she turned her attention to Harvey. Obviously, there was nothing she could do to Journi. Then, she had to switch her target. Her expression darkened as she narrowed her cold eyes at Harvey. "I don't care who you are or where you're from, boy."I'm going to make this simple. If you still value your life, you should leave, immediately. You don't know what lies under the murky depths of our family, but you should have heard about the Wright family. They're one of the top ten families in Country H. A marriage between our two families has already been determined. It doesn't matter who you are, interfere with this, and you'll only end up dead!"There w
Harvey had slapped Elric? He also had killed Hector?Those were two simple statements, but the content of those statements was enough to make them shudder.The three middle-aged women and Pamela were not the only ones stunned. Even Journi instinctively turned and looked at Harvey in disbelief. They could not believe what Harvey had just said.If slapping Elric was at least plausible and could occur, then they were unsure how he could still stand there as if nothing had happened after killing Hector. That was not something that could possibly happen in the real world.Hector was one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, after all. He was always accompanied by elite fighters wherever he went. It was impossible for him to get killed by someone like Harvey.After the initial shock, Pamela quickly collected herself. She coldly looked at Harvey and said, "You're overreacting after I commented. Do you think someone like you has the right to slap my husband? And even kill the Thompsons' s
There were mixed feelings in Journi's eyes as she felt the emotion within Harvey's words.Journi grew up in a single-parent household since she was little, and her father was the kind of person who would just sell her for profit. Despite being called a princess, she was just a young woman who had lived with a different burden that was no less heavy.She had never had a source of safety since she was young. She did not expect that she would get it from Harvey. Not to mention, Journi could sense that he was different from the other men who simply wanted her.Harvey's protectiveness of her did not involve any kind of perversion.It was so rare."Enough, boy. You really think you're someone important, now?" Pamela suddenly stood up with her arms folded in front of her chest, her eyes filled with viciousness. She looked at Harvey as if she could kill him for a long while before she snorted and said, "Journi, are you going to get rid of this man yourself? Or will you wait until securi
Pamela raised her hand, and the dozens of men in black immediately advanced and blocked Harvey and Journi's path.Harvey looked at the men and said calmly, "Mrs. Stanton, seeing that you're my girlfriend's stepmother, you still have time to stop. If it were someone else, I would have already slapped them away. What do you think?"The middle-aged woman chuckled and did not believe Harvey at all. They all looked at Harvey as if they were looking at the most foolish man they had ever seen. Pamela narrowed her eyes when she looked at Harvey and said bitterly, "Do you really think I won't dare to touch you just because we live in a country ruled by law?"Harvey calmly replied, "Does someone like you even care about the law? Of course, you can do whatever you want to me, but you should consider if you can accept the consequences of your actions. Don't say I didn't warn you if there's nothing left of you to be buried in the end."Pamela scoffed. "You little fool. You deserve a little prai
Pamela's expression changed when she heard what Harvey was saying. Because what Harvey said was the same advice a fortune teller had given her at an ancient shrine.The fortune teller was said to be a priest who had lived for a hundred years.When the fortune teller looked at Pamela's fortune through the cards, his expression turned into shock. Then, he said that she had a tragic fate and she would not live to see her fortieth birthday.When Pamela was younger, she thought everything the fortune teller told her was rubbish. But slowly but surely, everything the fortune teller told her about her fate was realized. However, Pamela subconsciously forgot about her impending end due to her fear of dying.When Harvey mentioned this to her, her expression instantly turned sour."Who are you? How did you know about this?" Pamela asked with a mixed expression. "Did you gather information about me before coming here?"Harvey glanced at Pamela and said without much interest, "Why don't you
Evening. Six o'clock. The sun was already setting. It was the most beautiful hour of the day, and it was also the most fortuitous hour of the day.However, an iciness slowly expanded from the Island Nation embassy in Wolsing's countryside, next to Lake Dove.According to international law, the area where the embassy was belonged to the Islanders. Which meant this area, including Lake Dove, was territory belonging to the Island Nation. This land followed the law of the Island Nations, and the ones protecting the land were their nations.After working hard for decades, the Islanders finally acquired such a good piece of land, which was a rare opportunity for them.Today was also a day that was worth remembering for the Island Nation's Shinto Way.How attractive it was for someone from the Shinto Way, one of the Island Nation's Six Schools of Martial Arts, to marry someone from Xavier of Wolsing, one of Country H's Top Ten Families.That was why the Island Nation's five other sc
Yvonne's expression was cold as she said nothing. Shingen could feel his anger building up when he saw how Yvonne refused to say anything, as if she were not afraid.He immediately pushed Jesse away, who wanted to stop him. He walked over and grabbed Yvonne by the throat. "Do you think you can act arrogantly just because Jesse is protecting you and I need to show your family respect? I'm warning you. After today, that sorry excuse of a man you love will have his fate decided!"I will turn his head into a decoration and put it right on our bedside table! I will make sure he watches us sleep together forever!"Shingen let go of his hand when he said that, then turned to look at Jesse with a dark expression. "It's getting late. Make sure she looks pretty, and get her into the bridal car! If you missed the time, then the entire wedding is off!"After that, Shingen gave a cold snort and left with his men. It was obvious that not only did he want to conquer Yvonne, but he was going to us
Yvonne did not even raise her eyes, as if an air of death surrounded her. It was as if everything she did today was just to complete a mission. And once that mission was done, her existence would be meaningless after that.Slap!When Shingen saw that Yvonne was like a marionette, his arrogant smile became cold and furious. He immediately slapped her on the face with an open palm.Yvonne said nothing but could not control herself and fell to the ground because of the force. Even her forehead was bleeding a little from the hit."Do you think you can avoid this by pretending to be deaf? Or do you think you can die once you've married into the Tokugawa family after the wedding is complete, and the Tokugawa family's and Xavier family's cooperation is complete?" Shingen said with a smirk."It's useless. If you obey me, then it's fine. If you don't, then I'll simply feed you the special Bonerust Powder that the Shinto Way makes. Forget about trying to commit suicide; you won't even have
Two in the afternoon. Wolsing residence.52 Toyota Centuries appeared in front of the gate.All the cars had diplomatic plates, and one could sense the arrogance of the drivers and passengers from miles away.Several members of the Xavier family had just prepared to ask them for their identities. Still, they did not expect the convoy to crash into the gate and barriers immediately and then walk into the Xavier family's residence.Several islanders even rolled down their cars, gave them the middle finger as they could only watch in shock, and said, "You don't even know our convoy? If it isn't because our boss is willing to marry someone from your family, you'll drop out of the top ten soon enough! How blind can you be?"The islanders let out a laugh.They managed to break into one of the small courtyards within the residence in no time. They kicked open the door, and behind it was Yvonne's room, which she had grown up in.Currently, maids are helping Yvonne change into her tradit
"While the Xaviers of Wolsing looked courteous before us, the people from Country H are known for their schemes. We must be on our guard at all times…" It was rare for Shingen to be so patient and to educate his assistants.After that, Shingen remembered something and said, "Right, did you manage to get Ky City's Director Netsu?"Nobita snickered. "Not only did I manage to, but Director Netsu even led his entire team here when he heard it was to serve you. He said that they can accommodate you no matter what kind of script you want."Shingen scoffed. "I don't need any special script. He simply needs to ensure he records the video when I bed her tonight, and then send some to Harvey. I heard that the woman who will become mine used to be Harvey's. If he sees his woman become the Director Netsu's female lead for his latest work, he might even lose his Martial Art focus," replied Shingen smilingly.That was his kink.He liked to sleep with his opponent's wife or family member, make s
Nobita whispered, "Sir, I believe there's no need to use this crazy woman. I'll tell all my men to attack, and we can outnumber Harvey if that's what it takes. That bastard… How dare he take the initiative to challenge us instead!"He must be someone reckless. Didn't he know that it's his people's fate to stay inside and surrender?"Looking at the furious Nobita, Shingen coldly replied, "If he's that easy to deal with, he wouldn't be able to become the representative of Country H's Martial Arts Alliance. Get more of the drugs from Country A's embassy and give them to Liza. We can kill Harvey by throwing money at him."Both Shouta and Nobita nodded. "Understood."After that, Shingen calmly asked, "How's the promotion of my wedding?"Shouta said, "Don't worry, sir. While the wedding was in Country H, we let all the Island Nation's media's best reporters come over. Before long, the Island Nation will know that you will marry a daughter from the Xaviers of Wolsing. Your status is alre
George briefly hesitated before continuing and said, "I also noticed something other than this. The Island Nation embassy was preparing for a wedding. From the looks of it, tonight would be the wedding."From my informants, the people getting married are Yvonne and Shingen."Geroge paused momentarily before continuing, "From what I heard, Yvonne lost her parents a long time ago, and Sheldon brought her up. However, Sheldon is still imprisoned within the Xavier of Wolsing's ancestral land. I heard that if Yvonne refuses to marry, then Sheldon will die."Only now did Harvey manage to connect the dots. For example, why did Yvonne leave without saying a word? For instance, why would Yvonne suddenly marry another man? When the thought crossed his mind, Harvey extended his right hand, slammed the table, and said, "From now on, you have the authority to use everything I have. But you must get Sheldon out before the wedding tonight."George was stunned. "Sir, please do anything rash! That'
"You!" Liza was so furious that she seemed to go berserk as she kept pouncing at Rachel. Unfortunately, Rachel had already realized that her lower half was defenseless. No matter how she attacked, Rachel would only focus on her legs.After exchanging blows, Rachel used a chance to kick Liza in the stomach. Liza let out a scream as she was immediately thrown out. When she dropped to the ground, the burst of internal energy and the drug after-effects made her twitch on the ground, and she could not get back up after some time."See? This is the price you pay for your revenge," Harvey signaled Rachel to stop as he looked at Liza and gave a sigh. "The power of martial arts comes from training for a long period. You, or should I say, the person behind this all, had the wrong understanding. They all think that you, after using the genetic drug, would be able to kill me with your increased power."Unfortunately, it was meaningless. In front of absolute power, your fake power meant absolute
"Everything was an act that you directed yourself! Your acting is so good that even I almost believed all of this!" Liza could not be bothered by Harvey's explanation as she was drowned in her own rage. "Someone like you can lie to the entire world, but you can't lie to someone as smart as us! All the other overseas Martial Arts Alliance will fight you till the end! We won't allow someone like you to have such a high position within the Alliance!"And then, Liza pulled out the one last syringe and stabbed it into herself. Then, she moved. She roared as she pounced toward Harvey's location.Bang!Charlotte instinctively stepped before Harvey, using her hands to block Liza's attack wave. However, she did not expect that after Liza had injected herself with so much drug, not only had her power increased, but her entire combat capabilities also had improved.Charlotte, who could normally crush Liza, was forced back after one single punch. She only stopped after she slid almost 30 feet
