Leighton was acting like a gambler who had lost everything. He was going all-in. It was obvious he didn't want to get suppressed by Harvey little by little. What he wanted to do now was to retaliate with everything he had and take back everything."One month? I don't have the time to play around with you." Harvey grinned, then approached Leighton and tapped the latter's face. "Three days. If I can't make the Island Nation investors withdraw in three days, I'll leave. But if I can, you'll have to give up everything you own and leave this group."Harvey didn't want to waste time and wanted to deal with everything in one go. Leighton gritted his teeth. "Fine! I'll do as promised. Everyone here can be our witness! I want to see just how great you are!"-Half an hour later, in a semi-outdoor office at the top of an estate. The warm sunlight showered into the office through the skylight and into the office. However, the brightness wasn't blinding.This was the Country H Commercial Gr
The following day was a beautiful sunny day with no clouds.In a hunting ground in Wolsing's countryside, a sightseeing electric vehicle was slowly moving forward.Leighton, who was in the passenger's seat, turned around and said coldly, "Harvey, Journi. Since you dare to accept my challenge, I'm not afraid to accept the consequences."I've already made an appointment for you with Ms. Haruka Ito, the representative of Hexagon Inc. She will give us ten minutes. If you can convince her to give up their investment in Country H Commercial Group completely within ten minutes, then I'll donate everything I have today and leave without any complaints."If you can't do this today, then I'm sorry, but you'll have to resign later tonight." He lit up his cigar and huffed out a smoke circle, a fake smile plastered on his face.After Leighton had issued the challenge last night, he did something after he went home. Upon midnight, he gave Harvey a call and said he would make an appointment wi
Harvey glanced at Leighton and smiled. "Thank you for caring about me, Leighton. Unfortunately, what you hope will happen later will never happen. If I were you, I'd make a call and have someone move my assets or something. Otherwise, all you might have left when you lose is the clothes on your back."It was obvious Leighton knew more than he let on. His eyes glinted as he smiled coldly. "Fine. Since you're that confident, I hope everything will go well for you later!"Leighton then ignored Harvey and quietly pulled out his phone, sending out a text. He was currently quite pleased. He was one of the hidden pawns for a scion who left for Dark Island all those years ago.A lot of people believed Leighton was also backed by the Islanders. The truth was that his biggest backer was the Dark Island's Serpent King, who would return as a king after owning a large dominion in Dark Island!According to Leighton's understanding, not only was the Dark Island's Serpent King wealthy, but he wa
"I'm too late, but I swear in front of you, I will take that man's head as an offering for you at the end of your Period of Mourning. Harvey York will die!" Nicholas, who had been fighting in Dark Island for five years, exuded a murderous aura. It was enough to make the temperature around them drop."Serpent King, there is no doubt that Harvey York will die, but please don't forget your orders!" said the man behind Nicholas. "Harvey has ruined Evermore's plans again and again. As Evermore's Serpent King in the Dark Island, you must clear Evermore's humiliation upon your return to Wolsing."Aside from killing him, make all of his women yours. Make all that belonged to him yours. You will make him lose everything and die suffering. Anything else will be insufficient to show the power of Evermore.""Are you telling me how to do things?" Nicholas slowly stood up and glanced at the man behind him. Even if he was one of the rules of Dark Island's criminal world, he couldn't help but shu
Leighton put on a bold face as he walked over and bowed a little when he saw Haruka approaching them. "Ms. Haruka, I know today is Hexagon Inc.'s team-building exercise. Outsiders like us shouldn't be here, but our chairman Mr. Harvey York wishes to discuss something with you. That's why we're here.""Discuss? What's there to be discussed?" Haruka scoffed. "Have you forgotten that Hexagon Inc. is Country H Commercial Group's largest shareholder? I can say that we're your boss. This so-called chairman is, at most, a living sign. At worst? He's just another one of our employees. What's there to discuss?"Leighton smiled. "He wishes for your company to withdraw all your investments from the group…""I refuse," Haruka said without even giving Harvey a look. "If there's nothing else, leave. Get out of my sight.""Ms. Haruka Ito, is it?" Harvey said with a calm smile as he narrowed his eyes. "I checked last night, and your company has used multiple channels to obtain the group's shares.
"The last Islander who dared to speak to me like that got in a coffin for a long time," Harvey said with a dry smile. The entire atmosphere cooled down when the Islanders what Harvey had said. Their expressions were especially gloomy.It was Hexagon Inc.'s team-building exercise today. For saying something like that in a place like this, Harvey wasn't showing any respect to the Islanders and Hexagon Inc. Nicholas, who was standing in the corner discreetly, revealed a cold smile. In an instant, he put down the wine glass in his hand and walked over, filled with murderous intent.A woman like Haruka was difficult to obtain. Even a warrior from the Dark Island like Nicholas had to use everything he knew to be able to get to her. To save her in a place like this… The effects would more than double. Originally, Nicholas was going to start a fight with Harvey. An opportunity like this was more than suitable."Enough! Why are you so bold to speak to Ms. Haruka in such a manner?" Nich
Everyone around Harvey and Nicholas looked at them oddly. To outsiders like them, they would never place any importance on those who looked up to them. The scorn in their smiles became even more apparent when Harvey humiliated Nicholas completely.To them, what was happening right now was like a scene out of a prison fight where the criminals were fighting each other.On the other hand, Haruka couldn't help but laugh. She didn't feel ashamed when someone so loyal to her would say anything to get her approval, even if he got humiliated. She simply found it all laughable.In truth, Haruka had never regarded her bodyguard as someone on equal footing. He was humiliating his own country. This had nothing to do with the Island Nation, right?Nicholas didn't know that Haruka was laughing at him. He assumed Haruka was happy because he stepped in and saved her.He turned around and smiled at Haruka. His expression was basically saying that if anyone wanted to hurt her, he would have to wal
Harvey looked at Nicholas who was making a show in front of him like he was looking at an idiot.Haruka stepped forward icily and immediately slapped Nicholas. There was a loud sound, and her expression remained just as cold. "Do you think you can call me by my first name? You're just a bodyguard who earns less than 400 dollars a month, so stop acting in front of me! I hired you to work here, not to act cool! Now, scram! Right now!"Haruka originally wanted to get rid of Harvey and his entourage at the speed of light. However, this bodyguard was simply making her feel disgusted as she looked at him acting cool and wanting to save her. She was no fool, and quickly understood why Nicholas wanted to do it.This was why she hated the men from Country H the most. Did the bodyguard believe he had a chance with her? What a joke!However, Haruka's attitude was enough to make Nicholas reveal an even more mischievous smile. When he was in Dark Island, he had pursued plenty of daughters of
Listening to Linus' gloat, Yvonne's expression slightly darkened. "You're shameless, Linus! Using fabricated evidence to threaten us!""Fabricated?" Linus shrugged. "You know best whether these things actually exist or not. I don't care what your aims are, but aren't you the ones signing these contracts? Don't tell me I'm the one signing it?"All I want to do is to reveal the truth, and you suddenly can't take it anymore? All I did was gently remind you that you, Xaviers of Wolsing, were born and raised here in Country H."What, scared? But I remember there's a saying. A clean hand wants no washing. But do you really think you're clean? Maybe, after I expose these secrets, I might be able to help your country find a family that also has many traitors within it."Linus snickered after he said that, looking as despicable as possible."We can explain everything from the beginning to the end," Jesse could not help but reply as he looked at how despicable Linus was. "If worse comes to
"Evidence working with Islanders?" A glint flashed through Yvonne's eyes. "What do you mean?"Jesse also added, "Everything you've presented is just typical business contracts. The Xaviers' businesses are spread throughout the globe, so there's nothing unusual about what you've just shown.While he was saying that, Jesse clenched his right hand slightly. These were some of the contracts they had signed in order to drag Shinto Way into the mud. After what had happened last night, they were supposed to be all destroyed.However, for some reason, there were photos of these contracts in Linus' possession. It was problematic, true, but not exactly serious.Even Harvey put down his cup. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen, and his expression became somewhat serious. Nashon was the same, and the wrinkle on his forehead became even more profound.Linus laughed, noticing everyone's change in expression, and told the lawyer to start showing more photos. As the lawyer did that, Lin
"Settle the score? What score is there to be settled?" asked Yvonne as she glared at Linus' face."Stop with the act. Of course there is," Linus blew a ring of smoke at Yvonne's face. "Your branch has conspired against us and stolen all the Xaviers' assets. And now, you're going to pretend it never happened? It's not going to be that easy."The reason I'm coming back this time is to warn you. You can either give us back the Xaviers of Wolsing, or I'll forcibly take it back. However, when I do make my move, the entire process wouldn't be that pleasant."Yvonne chuckled and said, "Your things? When your branch left the country, the entire country only left us a single bread. Everything the Xaviers of Wolsing had right now was built using our own two hands. What does this even have to do with you? Whether through logic or the law, what we have now has nothing to do with you. And now, you said you want everything? Who gave you that kind of bravery?"Linus laughed. "Do you think I'll co
"Do you know how we do it in Country A? To cultivate our fighters, we simply inject them with genetic drugs. If we succeed, they become our fighters. If we fail, we'll dump them into the bin. Cultivating a martial artist like you requires decades, But the genetically engineered elites? I only need about ten days. Just that alone; how are you going to fight against us?"Linus' disdain was obvious. He looked down on the Xaviers of Wolsing, especially the primitive techniques used in Country H. In his understanding, Country A's genetic technology was invincible."Well, if I knew you were doing so bad here, I would have prepared dozens of bodyguards for you. They can guard you while you're alive and dead!" Linus cackled in madness and arrogance.All the people he brought over had a meaningful smile on their faces.Meanwhile, the martial artist elites that the Xaviers of Wolsing had cultivated looked at them angrily.It was apparent that Linus' words not only humiliated the Xaviers of
"What are you doing? Why didn't you crawl and go on your knees when you saw your master return, and you keep on screaming when the Xavier family of Wolsing is just a vassal of Country A Xavier Inc!"Didn't that old man Nashon ever teach you what to do? Your attitude makes Country A Xavier Inc. very sad! Even a dog I raise won't bite me, but all you do is keep barking!" reprimanded Linus as he kept shaking his head as if he had got the wrong dog.But the most important part was that such words were aimed at the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families of Country H. While shocking, it also showed just how domineering Country A Xavier Inc. is.Nashon's expression also instantly turned dark.But before he could say anything, Yvonne snorted and said, " Country A Xavier Inc? They're just one branch of our family who betrayed our family. They're just a conglomerate that managed to expand their business after running away into Country A! And now you dare to come here to treat the pl
Vroom!Just as Harvey and the others were almost finished and were about to move on to tea and desserts, the sounds of engines roaring suddenly came from the side door where they were having lunch.At the same time, there were also the sounds of the Xavier family's security guards calling and yelling.But for some reason, the usually stubborn security guards could not stop the engine sounds from getting closer. Very quickly, twelve Black Badge Rolls-Royce drove over and stopped right at the entrance of the side chamber with arrogance.All the artificial hills, flowers, and grass were in a mess.Thump! Thump! Thump!Instantly, dozens of men in military uniforms opened the door and exited from their cars. Their eyes were full of spirit and full of vitality. It was obvious that they were all martial arts elites. Other than that, there were also dozens of elite men and women wearing suits and leather shoes.Then, two sexy secretaries walked over to the car's back seat and opened the
"Harvey's here," Nashon smiled when he saw Harvey arrive. His smile was even brighter than usual when he knew Harvey had agreed to sign the contract.Obviously, Nashon was getting increasingly happy with this man who might become his family's son-in-law in the future."Come, let me introduce someone to you. Behind Yvonne is my granddaughter and Yvonne's cousin, Sia Xavier."Meanwhile, Harvey gave Sia a strange look. She was a young woman who was of 18-years-of-age. She had just matured, and an innocent aura surrounded her. Her plump face and her hourglass figure made her have both innocence and lust.If she were to download a particular streaming app and start streaming, she would instantly get tens of millions of fans very quickly."Come, this is Harvey." Obviously, Yvonne also doted on her cousin.Sia's eyes landed on Harvey briefly, and she weakly greeted, "Brother-in-law…"When Yvonne heard that, her face turned red, and Harvey's expression instantly froze as he almost fell
Harvey sighed. "I thought so too; that's why I gathered everyone here. Why don't all of you give it a look and see what we should do? Should we sign the contract?"Harvey said in a helpless tone. "The old man also said that I don't have to worry. This is not part of Yvonne's assets if she marries over… That the Xavier family wouldn't be such a cheapskate…"The atmosphere became even more awkward. Everyone knew that Yvonne only had her eyes on Harvey, but Harvey's attitude was unclear. After receiving this 10% share, Sky Corporation will be completely bonded with Xavier Corporation.Perhaps Nashon also wanted to use this chance to improve Harvey and Yvonne's relationship a little more.Tyson grinned and said, "Boss, seeing that Yvonne treats you that well, why don't you just marry into the Xavier family and become their live-in son-in-law? That's one of the top ten families in Country H, and if Sky Corporation works with them, we might have a fighting chance even if we're going agai
"Then, it has been decided," Nashon replied and waved his hand, stopping whatever Yvonne wanted to say. "You can treat this as compensation, or you can treat this as us adding more duties to you. Regardless, from now onward, the only person who has authority over you within this family is me. "Even your cousin Jesse will be under your command when necessary. If there are no accidents, then you'll be the next matriarch of the Xavier family."Nashon then smiled at Harvey and said, "Harvey, I have a suggestion. Since we're on this topic, I wonder if you'd consider it. We, the Xaviers of Wolsing, lack a live-in son-in-law. If you're willing to, it's fine even if the patriarch of the Xavier family uses the last name York, right?"Harvey was speechless. The old man would do everything to drag him down into the mud!"So, are you happy with my explanation?" Nashon gave Harvey a meaningful smile and an even more meaningful look. Obviously, if Harvey nodded, wealth beyond his imagination wo
