Harvey's tone was indifferent, but his words were shocking.Emery's expression changed slightly, and even the expressions on the faces of Janus and the others turned stony. Especially Janus. He knew well what kind of a person Emery was.Emery was capable of installing and igniting explosives under their vans, killing them after their little act. He was also capable of using their deaths to fuel his followers' rage against his enemies. Forget being of doing all this, he most likely had already done it."Enough! Who's throwing such accusations around?" Betty said icily as she scanned the crowd. "Mr. Emery won't do something like that when he's someone so generous toward his followers! How dare you throw wild accusations around without even daring to show your face! You…"Before Betty could continue, the vans Janus and his men had driven here suddenly exploded one by one in loud booms. The powerful shockwave rippled outwards, and almost everyone was knocked off their feet.Emery's
Elric frowned before replying slowly, "After interacting with Harvey again and again, we have all suffered all kinds of losses. Even someone like Emery unexpectedly failed when he got caught by surprise. Everything tells us that Harvey isn't someone we can easily dispatch."Since that's the case, we need to plan properly and carefully if we want to get rid of him. There's no need to rush…"Pamela said coldly, "Once Hector's funeral is complete, many things within the Thompson family will be decided. After all that, it's pointless even if we can kill him a hundred times. Only by killing him before the funeral will I have the chance to become the leader of the family. Even if I can't, it will only be beneficial for us if we can give his head to the new leader as an introductory gift. We need to put in more effort, old man."Elric frowned slightly as he narrowed his eyes. "Well… There might be a chance, but…"After giving it a thought, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Jo
Twelve o'clock the following day. Harvey followed the GPS and arrived at a simple cafe.Aside from selling coffee and tea, the cafe also served all kinds of delicacies in Wolsing. It also proved that whoever chose this place had taste.Harvey looked around the café and walked to the center. The entire cafe was empty, with only one table being seated at the center.Elric was there, and next to him was an old man in a martial arts robe. He looked quite impressive and could take a beating or two. Harvey didn't know who the old man was, but he was most likely a martial arts elite.After Harvey had slapped Elric last time, Elric probably learned from his experience and had to make some preparations when seeing Harvey. Unfortunately, such preparation was pointless. If Harvey wanted to, he could slap Elric as many times as he wanted.Harvey thought of Journi, and nodded at Elric. "Hello, Mr. Stanton. We met again. Journi had already told me about it. She didn't ask me to take the offer
The corner of Elric's eye twitched a little when he heard Harvey analyze things in just a few sentences and insinuate what he wanted. Harvey was indeed no simple man. Elric made the right choice not to fight him until the end.He didn't know if he could fully defeat Harvey once he chose to go against Harvey until the end. He might be the one who ended up losing everything he had. From the way Harvey acted, if he did anything against Harvey and the latter had evidence of it, things wouldn't end well for him.When the thought crossed his mind, Elric suddenly had a desire to completely eradicate Havery.Elric took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey and said, "Before we get down to business, I have to admit that young men like you are very rare nowadays. Not only did you do things cleanly, but you also have the skills and physical ability to do so. Despite your youth, you have already reached a height no lower than us old folks. I admi
Harvey stated his demand without hesitation.Elric's face darkened immediately. He slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "What do you mean, Harvey? I'm telling you, it's rare for me to speak so good-naturedly with anyone else. If you're still stubborn, you'll have to bear all responsibility for what comes next!"Harvey smashed the cup in his hand in response, and tossed the pieces toward Elric. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Stanton. Your threats are pointless to me. And so, I will gladly bear that responsibility."Just as Elric was going to rage on, the old man next to him suddenly raised his head and slammed his hand on the table. A deep handprint appeared on the wooden table. He stared at Harvey and snarled coldly, "Watch your mouth!"I've been sitting here for so long, and I finally have a basic understanding of you. In short, you're someone who likes to dance between the borders of life and death. Mr. Elric Stanton is the man who created Country H Commercial Group. He's someone well
Harvey was speechless when he heard of the identity of the so-called Mr. Lee. Why were all the people like this from Longmen? Since he had already retired, wasn't it better for him to just retire in peace instead of running around and interfering in things like this?When Mr. Lee saw the stupefied look on Harvey's face, he thought Harvey was shocked by the Longmen Association's reputation. He faked a cough, and put his hands behind his back. "Do you know the meaning of fear now, young man? I've seen plenty of talented young men in this world, but none had acted so arrogantly like you."Have you heard about the scion of the Longmen Association? He is a true prodigy, but even someone like him had to treat himself as a junior before me. Think about it… Do you really think you can act in such an arrogant manner before me?"Mr. Lee smiled haughtily, as if his status was that high and mighty.Elric reminded Harvey, "Maybe you've never heard of the scion of the Longmen Association, bu
"Why you little…!" When Mr. Lee heard Harvey was telling him to kneel, he could feel himself at the boiling point. However, he suddenly saw the badge right in front of him. He was instinctively startled, feeling his vision was covered in red.The others might not know what that thing was, but how could he not know? It was the Longmen Association's Scion Badge!Which also meant that the young man in front of him was the scion of the Longmen Association!The moment Mr. Lee realized it, he didn't hesitate and instantly kneeled on the floor with a thump. Blood instantly splattered the moment his knees hit the ground. He didn't even scream despite the pain, and he didn't even channel his energy to resist the pain.He kneeled there with his back straight like a child who had committed a grave crime, shuddering.Elric's expression turned blank. Even someone who had traveled far and wide like him didn't understand what had happened. A second ago, Mr. Lee was still yelling at Harve
"Mr. Stanton, I'm someone who likes to give second chances. However, I won't keep on giving those chances away," Harvey said to Elric as he stood up. Then, he picked up a paper towel from the table and wiped Elric's face."That's why I'm going to give you one final chance. Come see me once you have thought things through. You can choose to either give up and watch me dethrone you as the next chairman, or agree to my demands so that I will withdraw my candidacy. Don't appear in front of me anymore before you think things through. I've been quite busy recently, and I'm not in the mood to waste time with you…"After that, Harvey ignored Elric who wanted to say something and left with his hands behind his back. Elric had only regained his composure some time later, but even then he couldn't stop his eyes from twitching.He wasn't a gangster from the streets, but a truly important figure. He could already tell a lot of things from Mr. Lee's attitude. Harvey's identity was now revealed
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
