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
"A charlatan?" Elric was shaking. "What do you mean?"Pamela smiled coldly. "That day when he saw me, that little bastard told me I won't live past 40 years old. He made it sound so believable too! In reality, whoever believed him was the real fool. While I'm feeling a little unlucky lately, once Master Jon is here, everything will be solved!"You should kill that charlatan as quickly as possible. I'm getting angry just thinking about him!" said Pamela. The moment she stood up, she suddenly felt her world spinning and instantly collapsed on her bed.Elric shuddered, instinctively wanting to call for the doctors in the health resort. However, Pamela gritted her teeth and said, "Quick, give Master Jon a call. My time is really running short here…"Half an hour later, Elric paced back and forth in the health resort's VIP room with his hands behind his back. Not far away from him was Pamela, who was already lying in bed with her face pale despite how energetic she had been earlier.Sh
Elric was an experienced man. As someone who had survived and thrived in the business world for so long, he knew what Jon meant. Jon had not even done anything, but he already said he had nothing to do with its failure. And he even wanted Elric to sign a declaration.In short, Jon was already boasting when he said he had a 30% chance of success.When the thought crossed his mind, Elric squinted his eyes and took a deep breath. He waved his hand and signaled his secretary to give him a bank draft. Then, he laid it before Jon, saying, "Master Jon, 30% chance is still too low for me, so you don't have to do anything. Please take this 150 thousand dollars as compensation for coming all the way here."Jon smiled and picked up the bank draft, putting it in his pocket without hesitation. Then, he said as if he remembered something, "You're pretty wise in the way of the world, Mr. Elric. Usually, those in our industry won't recommend someone else even if we fail in a task. But seeing that y
Harvey smiled. "You're welcome. Since I'm already treating you as my friend, I will help you deal with these problems to the best of my ability."Journi shot a strange look at Harvey but did not say a word. The atmosphere around them was becoming somewhat awkward. At this time, Harvey's gaze fell upon a small plaza not too far from the café.He saw plenty of filming equipment scattered around while some handsome men and beautiful women were filming something. It looked like there was some kind of event happening there.Journi looked at what Harvey was looking at. Then, as if she remembered something, she pointed at a logo next to the plaza. "Looks like it's an event organized by Judd Entertainment."Harvey saw a figure among the crowd and subconsciously asked, "Judd Entertainment?"Journi nodded. "The entertainment company belonged to the Judd family. Their business mainly involves filming dramas, movies, and advertisements. They're most widely known for their advertising. I heard
"It's true that my family doesn't own Judd Entertainment, but without me, Judd Entertainment would have closed years ago," said the tall woman with a sneer. "Don't tell me you have forgotten that I'm Judd Entertainment's advertising department's superstar?"Harvey did not rush forward and simply squinted his eyes, looking at how things unfolded. Journi noticed the change in Harvey and softly said, "The tall woman is indeed the superstar for Judd Entertainment's advertising department. Her name is Nelly Parker. I heard that she's one of the mistresses of Sawyer Judd, the third son of the Judd family."She had suppressed plenty of newbies who could have become big stars in their own right within Judd Entertainment. She would use everything she had to kick a person out whenever her status was threatened to the point that the other person couldn't survive in the entertainment industry anymore."I've heard that female students from Wolsing's Academy of Motion Pictures have been sold to t
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
