"If you ask me to simply leave like this… Firstly, you're belittling me. Secondly, there's no need for this. No matter how powerful Emery is, he's nothing that terrifying," Harvey said, smirking.He had never treated the so-called top scion of Wolsing as a serious threat. There were very few people in the world who could pique his interest and make him treat them seriously. "Harvey, how can you be so…" Journi wanted to say Harvey was being ungrateful, but when she remembered that she was the reason Harvey was in this situation in the first place, she couldn't say anything else.Harvey then said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Why don't you tell me what's happening between you and Emery? If you can explain things to me, perhaps I can understand enough to find a way to help you. Of course, you don't have to tell me if you're having reservations."Journi gave it a thought and bit her lip. Then, she said, "There's nothing to be reserved about this. If we're looking at the root ca
"What?" Journi was slightly taken aback after listening to Harvey.Harvey raised his hand and signaled her to look behind them. She then saw several black vans parked not far away from Journi's Lamborghini. The vans all had fully tinted windows. She couldn't see just how many people were inside. At the same time, the car plates had also been covered up with a black cover.Their brazenness could already explain a lot."What should we do now?" Journi instinctively asked Harvey. She was still a young woman after all. She was scared when she saw what was happening."Simple. Do you know the duty-free shops in the airport?" Harvey said with a smile. "Let's go shopping. I'll pay for all your shopping expenses today."And then, Harvey got out of the passenger's seat before walking over to the driver's side and opening the door. He then extended his hand at Journi. Journi was first slightly shocked but still took Harvey's hand with a little bit of embarrassment.Harvey then gave the van b
When Emery stretched out his right hand, Pamela could see the Patek Philippe Nautilus watch he was wearing. It looked a little worn, but it instantly showed the kind of taste he had. While the watch was only becoming popular in recent years, few could afford it or had the taste for it in the past."No need to be so courteous, Emery. You're simply making me uncomfortable," Pamela said with a bright smile. As she smiled, she could feel the pain in her face. It made her resentment toward Harvey grow even greater."We're going to be family soon, so there's no need to show such courtesy reserved for outsiders. Originally, my daughter is supposed to take care of you tonight. Unfortunately, a man who came out of nowhere seduced her, and now the entire Stanton family is in quite the pickle."Despite being your senior, I really shouldn't be here for failing to do something as simple as this. Please don't pin the blame on me and give me one more chance…" Pamela peeked at Emery when she said
Emery ignored Pamela who was kneeling on the floor. He raised his right hand, snapping his fingers.After he snapped his fingers, a beautiful woman wearing a white martial arts robe entered the room from outside and stood next to Emery.Emery enjoyed his cup of tea and said, "Betty, give Janus a call and ask him how things are progressing."Betty nodded and walked out of the room with a cold expression on her face. Then, she started making some calls. After making those calls, she frowned and walked over to Emery and said, "Mr. Janus hasn't made his move yet.""Not yet?" Emery asked without a change in his explanation. "Is Harvey that hard to deal with?""Not exactly, but…" Betty hesitated a little and then said, "Harvey and Journi are shopping in the duty-free shops in the airport. There were too many people there, and they bought so many things that the airport had dispatched many security officers to escort them home."Janus has no opportunity to do anything at all. It might g
Murderous intent filled the entire estate at that moment. However, Harvey seemed to have foreseen this. He simply put the shopping bag behind the door. Then, he slammed the fire alarm button on the wall with his right hand.The emergency lights instantly lit up, accompanied by a blaring alarm.Despite the opposing force having already cut off the power, the entire estate was still lit up and was as bright as day. The assassins in black, hiding in the darkness, were instantly exposed. As they had gotten used to the dark, the sudden flashes of light blinded them temporarily.Harvey picked up the bolt on the ground with his right hand and hurled it forward with a whistling sound.There was a thud, and the assassin in front of him collapsed on the ground as he held his neck without making a sound. At the same time, Harvey immediately kicked the body away and it flew into the air.Several bolts immediately hit the flying corpse with multiple thuds. The corpse had blocked the killing
"You must be one of Emery's right-hand men and one of the Kings of the criminal underworld of Wolsing. Janus, right?" Harvey walked over to the coffee table and poured himself a glass of water and finished it in one gulp.Janus narrowed his eyes. "You know a lot about me."Harvey smiled. "Of course. I have to, since my followers are preparing to replace you. How are they supposed to replace you if we don't know enough about you?"And then, Harvey clapped and said, "Right. Tell your underlings to come out now. It's a little bit boring if they're still hiding so cowardly."When Janus heard what Harvey had to say, he gave it a thought and looked around. Once he was sure there was no ambush, he then clapped.Very quickly, dozens of men and women in dark and tight outfits appeared. All of them were equipped with machetes and repeating crossbows. They immediately spread out and kept on kicking open the door into all the other rooms.Harvey calmly said, "All my doors here are antiques,
After hearing what Harvey had to say, Janus was slightly shocked as he coldly said, "Good analysis. The ones here today are the cream of the crop in my association. If you can kill me and then kill them all, then it's true that my faction won't be far from falling apart. But the question is… Can you kill all of us?"The smile on Janus' face disappeared, replaced by a faint murderous stare."Of course, I can," Harvey said with a shrug. "You still don't get it? If even Emery doesn't deserve any respect from me, where do you think you stand, Janus?"Janus let out a chuckle. He wasn't scared by Harvey's words at all, and instead showed a look of keen interest. "I admit that you're bold. I also admit you're a strong fighter. But those will not help you in your boastings, since they mean nothing when faced with absolute power."For example, you killed several of my underlings easily just now, right? But the problem is that I have hundreds…even a thousand underlings who are of the same
The short-haired woman smirked as she continued her little speech at Harvey. "Do you think someone like you, who doesn't even know his actual worth, has the right to keep on yapping in front of me? I'm ordering you to cut your tongue and break your hands right now. I have the authority to spare your life. Otherwise, you'll have to take responsibility for your actions!"For someone in her profession, she had seen too many scions in her line of work. She had also crushed so many of them.While Harvey looked like he was quite powerful, she thought he was no different from an insect.Harvey put down his glass. "Fine, fine. Stop wasting time, then. Since all of you want to die so badly, let's do this. I'll send you all to hell.""You…" When the short-haired woman saw that Harvey still didn't know how much trouble he was in, she let out a cold laugh and immediately started to regulate the energy within herself. Then, she kicked at where Harvey was standing. Her kick was decisive, ful
After Harvey had easily defeated Shouta and the great priest, he ignored the others and turned to look at Yvonne. He gave her a faint smile and said, "I'm sorry, Yvonne. I should have come here soon."Yvonne was somewhat stunned. She couldn't even control herself as she rubbed her eyes, thinking that she might be dreaming. In the next second, she immediately jumped into Harvey's arms. Harvey was stunned a little, but after some hesitation, extended his hand to pat her back. "It's fine. I'm here."Their actions, while simple, looked like some kind of TV drama in a place and situation like this.All the Islanders could only watch. Today was the wedding of the century! They didn't expect someone from Country H to cause a ruckus. Not only was Harvey humiliating Shingen, but he was also making Shingen's to-be wife cheat in front of his eyes!Shingen, who was supposed to be furious, was not angry at all. Instead, he simply looked at this scene with a dry smile. Today's events were beyo
Shouta had no choice but to unsheath the shortsword on his belt. He crossed the longsword and shortsword with each other and attempted to retaliate against Harvey using his twin-sword style. It was obvious that when there was nowhere for him to run, he hoped that he could force Harvey back using that. Even if he couldn't, he could at least deal damage to Harvey, couldn't he?Unfortunately, reality was much crueler than what Shouta had envisioned. He overestimated his power and underestimated Harvey's ability. Before the two blades could even reach Harvey, Harvey's palm had already fallen on his face.There was a loud slap, and Shouta's right cheek instantly became swollen as if a truck had rammed into his face. Even when he had secretly learned from Country H the way to absorb the force of an attack, he was in so much pain that he almost cried.When Shouta saw that Harvey was going to press on the assault, he instinctively took a few more steps back. Realizing this, he was filled
The blood-red coffin parted Yvonne and Shingen on two sides of the stage. Everyone could only watch, mouths agape and eyes wide.This was Yvonne and Shingen's wedding! Who would be so bold as to kick up a storm here?A slender figure appeared on the red coffin and smiled at Yvonne. Then, he immediately approached Shingen and slammed his palm downward. It looked like it had no power, but in Shingen's eyes, the palm kept approaching as if it would cover his entire vision.Shingen narrowed his eyes, wanting to fight back. Shouta had already rushed over and yelled, "Today's your wedding! It'll be bad for you to spill blood! Allow me to help you. Who are you? How dare you interrupt Master Shingen's wedding!"Shouta had already unsheathed the longsword in his belt and slashed at the figure in front of him.Swish!There was a loud noise. As the two sides clashed, sparks appeared mid-air. There was a screeching sound, and a lot of people felt their eardrums almost shatter. While Shou
"Thank you, everyone, for attending the wedding of the century. Thank you for coming all the way here, no matter where you're from," a great priest from the Church of the Western Court said, looking at everyone with gentle eyes as he held a tome in his hand."Today is the wedding of Mr. Shingen Tokugawa from the Island Nation and Ms. Yvonne Xavier from Country H. From today onward, they will become a family. From today onward, they shall take the vow of marriage, and everyone here in this wedding will be their witness."Now, Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, Ms. Yvonne Xavier. We shall start with the first step."The great priest looked at Shingen, then brushed his hand at the golden debit card he had just received. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, I stand here as a representative of the gods to ask you one question. Are you willing to take Ms. Yvonne Xavier as your wife? In sickness and health, in good times and in bad, to love her and honor her all the days of her life?"Many
After they had finished paying attention to Jesse, some started watching Yvonne. Initially, they all thought that Yvonne could not possibly be some kind of beauty.But after giving her a few looks, many of the men started to have lustful expressions. That was because, as pale as Yvonne was, her beauty was not something the Islanders had ever witnessed.No matter which of the island's famous beauties, they could not compare themselves to Yvonne. Some of the women who wanted to compare themselves to Yvonne gave up. That was because they clearly knew that they could not hold the candle to Yvonne.Shingen was satisfied with his inflated ego when he saw the men's jealousy and the women's humble expressions.At the same time, he stood there with his hands behind his back, as if he was an emperor looking down on his subjects.Clang… Clang… Clang…When Yvonne and her entourage arrived at the stage, the bell had been struck seven times.The most fortuitous hour had arrived.The expensiv
When the guests saw the staff working, they knew the newlywed should be arriving soon.They were right. As the helicopter the Island Nation's TV crew rented soared through the sky, Hotel Hope's entrance appeared on screen. The 52 Toyota Centuries decorated with flowers slowly drove over. All the cars were covered with red roses and fresh flowers, making others feel romantic.The real time for the wedding was 6.50 p.m.It was said that this was the hour that the groom, Shingen, chose himself. He believed that this was the luckiest time for him.As the time drew closer, so did the crowd.Most of the people from the crowd were from the Island Nation, while only a handful were people from Country H who had the right to observe the wedding. They had already been allied with the Islanders a long time ago.Not far from the embassy, one could see the cars used by the Wolsing's precinct coming in and out. The staff inside the car would observe the wedding with their binoculars, but their
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
