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
Just when Harvey was figuring out what was happening from Journi, Nelly and other female models had already surrounded Xynthia.Nelly gave Xynthia the elevator eyes, and the malice was clearly written on her face. "What right do you think you have to join Judd Entertainment's model competition? Look how skinny you are. I'm giving you a chance to keep Mr. Lee company, do you understand? Why won't you listen to me? Will you only give up after I hit your face until it's swollen?"All the other models were angry at Xynthia once they heard what Nelly had to say."That's right, Xynthia. If you don't listen to Nelly, just leave already!""Our circle is not for someone like you who comes from nowhere.""If we let someone like you join our social circle, it will be an embarrassment.""It's all thanks to models like you who came from nowhere that make others look down on our community, thinking that we don't have class."Xynthia frowned a little, but she still slowly replied, "I'm a stude
After Nelly finished saying what she had to say, several male models walked toward the women. It was obvious that if Xynthia still refused, she would have a fate worse than death. Xynthia's face turned a little pale. While she was already used to all the big scenes and would bring her bodyguards when she had to go somewhere dangerous to film, she did not expect to be in trouble, even in public, like Northsea Park.She was unsure what to say.Xynthia had already stopped talking back to Nelly and looked around, trying to see if she could get any help or escape. Nelly derisively looked at Xynthia when she saw Xynthia's darting eyes. "Stop looking, Xynthia. Judd Entertainment had reserved this entire space. It doesn't matter if it's the staff or the security; they all work for Judd Entertainment."In short, I am the queen bee of this place, and they'll do whatever I tell them to. That's why your fate has already been set."Nelly waved her hand, and the male models moved extremely qui
The woman who looked like upper management was stunned when she heard Harvey called out to her. "Do you want to see our boss?""My, what a show-off," Nelly scoffed at Harvey's pretentiousness. "Do you want to complain against me by speaking to our boss? Xynthia, where did you find this man? Why is he so stupid? Does he think he can settle this by complaining? Is something wrong with his brain?"Not to mention who does he think he is, thinking he can see our boss whenever he wants? If he can see her, I will fall on my knees and call him daddy!"The other female models all covered their mouths and chuckled. To their understanding, what Harvey did was so laughable and childish. Even the lady from upper management mockingly looked at Harvey and said, "Sir, our company headquarters aren't that far. It'll only take three to five minutes to get there."But, do you really think you can see our boss, Ms. Marlee? Not only is she one of the Judds of Wolsing's three daughters, but ordinary peo
Harvey had ignored Nelly's taunts and continued with the countdown. "Three minutes."At this time, Journi approached them from the back. Journi gave Xynthia a strange look and then said to the woman from upper management, "Here's my advice. You should give Ms. Marlee a call right now. Otherwise… I don't think you'll be able to shoulder the consequences."Compared to Harvey, who was wearing something quite plain, the outfit Journi was wearing, while still minimalistic, was all from luxury brands and could only be bought through reservations.She was wearing the Lady Arpels Pont des Amoureux watch, worth hundreds of thousands.What Journi was wearing gave immense pressure to the woman and, after a moment of hesitation, she pulled out her phone and started to dial a number."Oh ho! So, you're a sugar baby!" Nelly said derisively as she instinctively grew hostile to Journi when she saw her. "A sugar baby saving a damsel in distress, becoming the white knight of another woman… How can
"Mr. York, why did you suddenly visit Judd Entertainment? Do you have any order for me?" asked Marlee Harvey in a serious tone."Not exactly," Harvey pointed at Xynthia with his right hand. "That's my younger sister over there, but we're not biologically related. She's currently working at Judd Entertainment. But what happened? Your advertising department's superstar is forcing her to sleep with an old man, otherwise she'll ruin her career."I'm here to question you on behalf of my younger sister. Is this a company rule?"When Marlee heard what Harvey had to say, her eye twitched, and she quickly turned around and slapped Nelly, who was caught completely unprepared.Nelly cried out in pain as she held her face and landed on the ground, looking at Marlee in disbelief. "Don't you worry, Mr. York. I'll give you a satisfying explanation about this."Harvey calmly said, "This is not the first time we met each other, Marlee. So, I know this has nothing much to do with you. That's why
"Tell him to give me his name!" Sawyer said. "I don't care if he is in Wolsing or anywhere in Country H. I'll make sure he regrets ever coming to this world!"Sawyer sounded extremely domineering, and his tone was very arrogant. It was as if the entire world was his to destroy whenever he wanted to. Not to mention, one could hear from his tone that he did not care about Marlee at all.Marlee's expression darkened, and she wanted to speak.However, Harvey waved his hand and said, "Sawyer Judd, is it? Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Harvey York. If you still don't know who I am, you can ask your leader or your grandmother. You can speak to me once you know who I am."Also, your woman has harassed my younger sister and that upsets me a lot. You better be able to give me an explanation. It would be best if you could give me one. If you can't, I'll give you one instead."Harvey calmly replied, but his words were even more domineering than Sawyer's from the other side.What the hell?
If a veteran threatened Wilhelm, he wouldn't be too worried. The underworld wasn't all about violence—it was about relationships as well. No matter what people did, they wouldn't push it too far so they would have some space to bargain with in the future.However, a youth like Harvey was different. He didn't care about being patient, which meant that he could really kill Wilhelm. The moment that thought crossed his mind, Wilhelm had no choice but to suppress the regrets inside of him. The corner of his eyes twitched, and he muttered with great difficulty, "I'm sorry, Harvey.""Ha! While your apologies are worth nothing, I can let you go for Dragon Palace's sake." Harvey took out another paper towel and, after wiping his fingers, wiped the cold sweat off Wilhelm's forehead. "You better remember this. If you see me next time, you better kneel on the side. That way, I will pretend not to see you. Understand?"Wilhelm's face twitched, but he knew there was no point in escalating this
"You old fool… You're still threatening others at a time like this," Harvey walked over to Wilhelm, disdain in his eyes. "Do you think I wouldn't dare to hit you after I've hit Donald?"Right after Harvey said that, he immediately slapped Wilhelm's face. While Wilhelm was an expert himself, his skills were useless before Harvey. Harvey's attack was simple, but Wilhelm somehow felt he could block it; however, the attack immediately fell his Wilhelm's face. He was in so much pain that he shuddered."Argh!" When Wilhelm finally realized what had happened, he held his face. He was furious and upset. "You bastard! How dare you hit my face! You…"Harvey slapped him again. "So what if I hit your face? Do you think there's anything special about you that I should hit your face? If it isn't because you're asking for it, I wouldn't even hit you. Don't you know why this is happening?"Liza and the others looked down on Harvey even more when they saw Harvey humiliate someone like Wilhelm as
"You're way out of line, Harvey! How dare you treat our VIP from the Summer Isles like this! Do you even care about our laws?!" Wilhelm roared.He was enraged when he saw Harvey easily beat Donald up. He didn't dare to say anything just now because Harvey had a hostage, but now that Harvey no longer had any hostage, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore."Do you think I have no temper? That I'll just watch you harass others in front of me? As the Deacon of Wolsing's Dragon Palace, I'm now ordering you to immediately apologize to Donald and give yourself up to him. Otherwise, I'll deal with you according to our laws!"He grabbed the cup next to him and threw it to the floor.Harvey glanced at the floor. "That's an antique cup worth 15 million dollars. Remember to pay for it.""I'm paying nothing!" Wilhelm's expression darkened, his anger reaching a boiling point. He was telling Harvey about the law, but Harvey was telling him to compensate for a cup? He couldn't take it anymore!
"You… You little bastard!" Donald was in so much pain that his tears came out. He yelled furiously, "How dare you touch me? You'll regret it! You'll definitely regret it!"There was a bang. Harvey put in some more strength, and this time, he really did step right on Donald's face. He even crushed Donald's face under his boot.Donald's face was full of dirt; he shuddered in anger, but he was still stubbornly resisting. "Bastards! You're all bastards! I won't show you any mercy! You'll all pay for your actions!"Harvey clicked his tongue a few times before sighing. "Normally speaking, the older a person is, the wiser he is. Someone as old as you must be extremely wise… But now, I'm a bit suspicious. I don't even know how you managed to survive until this age when you're so blind to your situation!"Harvey gave Donald another stomp, to the point blood came out of his nose. Looking at the blood on his shoe, Harvey wiped it off disdainfully on Donald's clothes."You…" Donald was indign
Almost everyone was shocked when they saw Harvey "obediently" kick Donald to the ground. They were so stunned that they didn't know how to describe it. They didn't expect that not only Harvey would be so bold, but he would also choose to follow such a "request".Things were already quite bad when he slapped Donald, but he even kicked Donald to the ground and stepped on the latter's face.That…That wasn't as simple as hitting someone. Harvey had ignored Donald's status and identity. He ignored the Summer Isles Martial Arts Alliance and all the organizations behind it. He was humiliating Donald completely!After a brief moment, Wilhelm regained his composure. He jumped off his seat, anger written all over his face. "What are you doing, Harvey? Do you even know what exactly you're doing? How dare you touch him, you bastard!"Even Liza was overtaken by fury. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you right now!"She immediately pulled out a flexible blade she used as a sword and rushed toward Ha
"I understand you're young, Harvey, but you better not make any more demands. What else do you want when Donald has already given you a mask to cover your face?" Wilhelm said, his tone rather strange. "You should know what's good for you. If Donald gets angry, the consequences will be quite bad. You won't be able to deal with it. I hope you can understand, Harvey. Donald isn't only supported by the Martial Arts Alliance from Summer Isles, but also the ones from Lion City and Bright Isle, among others…"Wilhelm leaned back on the sofa. "Now go and apologize, seeing that we still have time. Once you're done, I can give you 20 dollars to get some fried chicken for supper. See? I'm very considerate, right?"Liza chuckled as well. "You should know when to drop it, Harvey. Don't cut off your escape route…"As Harvey listened to what they had to say, a huge smile stretched across his face. He looked at Wilhelm and the others curiously. "Can I understand that you're threatening me?"Li
"You…" Donald looked at Harvey in anger, as if Harvey was beyond hope—that he could never learn. In his understanding, the Country A Martial Arts Alliance had always been the leading country in the martial arts community. The other four Great Directors within the World Martial Arts Alliance weren't that important.How dare the representative of a director nation question him? He couldn't take this anymore!"Harvey! I'm trying to explain things to you kindly, but I never expected you to be so stubborn!" Donald waved his hand. "If you're so stubborn, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"Wilhelm also smiled. "Since you're Country H Martial Arts Alliance's representative, then you should understand we now walk in peace. In the international arena, we've always tried to convince others using words instead of martial power. Your battle with the Shinto Way occurred without any preparation from either side. Both sides didn't have any plans. It doesn't matter if you win or lose—either way
However, Donald refused to let it go even if he had calmed down. With a cold smile, he pointed at Harvey and said maliciously, "Boy, all I can say is that you're quite fortunate for the deacon to speak on your behalf. Otherwise, I would have slapped your face so hard you can't turn it anymore."Know that in the Summer Isles, even across Country A, I have slapped hundreds and thousands of arrogant youths. Don't think you can act so arrogantly just because you have some talents, young man. I…""Alright. Stop yapping already," Harvey said impatiently as he cleaned his ear using his pinky. "If you have anything else to say, say it now. I want to get some supper after this. Are you going to bring me out to supper if the shop closes?"Liza and the others shuddered, furious It was the first time that they had seen someone who would dare to speak to them like this.What kind of person was so arrogant that they cared little for anyone?There was one right here!"Alright! Fine! I won't a
Though Liza was apologizing, she didn't look apologetic at all. Her so-called apology was closer to mocking Harvey.Donald and Wilhelm watched this scene unfold with a dry smile. They didn't stop Liza. It was obvious they wanted to see how Harvey would react now that Liza had humiliated him so thoroughly."Looks like those who returned from the West don't even know proper courtesy and how to apologize properly. It's natural for something like this to happen if they had never bathed in the light of civilization," Harvey said calmly. "From this alone, it's enough for me not to take someone like you, who has just come back to her ancestral lands, seriously. But if a certain someone refuses to learn and still won't stop, I'm afraid I'd have to teach her a lesson on culture and courtesy."After saying that, Harvey looked at Donald and Wilhelm. "Of course, if some of our seniors need it, I can also teach them about how to respect the old and love the young.""Never been bathed in the l
