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
Nicholas turned around and disappeared very quickly. Before he left, his icy gaze fell on Harvey for a moment. Harvey raised his eyebrow. This Serpent King of Dark Island probably had to have some kind of psychological issue, right?The scene was over quickly.Haruka turned her attention to Harvey once more and asked coldly, "Why haven't you left yet?"Harvey shuddered. "I didn't leave out of disgust even when your loyal hound tried to disgust me, so how can I leave before I succeed?"Haruka gave him a cold look and sneered, as if she had just remembered something funny. She judged Harvey for a moment before saying, "Leighton told me everything about you. You're quite impressive for still refusing to surrender at this juncture. That's fine, then. I'll stop playing around and give you a chance."You want me to withdraw all the Island Nation's investment? I can do that! Crawl on the ground and bark like a dog. With every round you make, I'll withdraw 10 percent of my investment. I
A painful scream echoed in the air. Haruka, who had lived a pampered life, never expected Harvey would take such action against her. She was in so much pain that she shuddered and fell on the floor, buttocks first. She was in a terrible mess.Leighton and the other higher-ups of Hexagon Inc. fell in a daze, thinking that they had probably seen wrongly.How could someone treat Haruka like that? While she was quite arrogant, she had the right to be arrogant.Not only did Harvey care little about it, but he seemed to be even more arrogant than Haruka. Haruka would at most verbally humiliate someone else, but Harvey acted physically instead.Haruka was one of the key members of Hexagon Inc.'s Far East Division. Just the fact that she was from the Ito family was already reason enough that not everyone could simply earn her ire. Not to mention, she was backed by something even more terrifying—Shinto Way, the leader of the Six Schools of Martial Arts.It was said that the most prodigio
"What kind of consequences?" Harvey asked casually. "Forget about one finger; it's nothing unusual even if I break all ten of her fingers. The Island Nation want to use the Country H Commercial Group to sow chaos in our own market? Such intentions deserve nothing but the harshest punishment!""Police! We have to call the police!" All the members of the higher-ups cried out in anger when they heard what Harvey had to say. It was a normal reaction for them to run amok when their intentions had been revealed."Police? That punishment is too light for the likes of him!" Haruka said as she finally regained her composure. She pulled out her phone and sent out a message. "Since he made a move first, everything we do now is self-defense. Cripple him and make sure he suffers, then we'll force the Country H government to give us an explanation!"No one can trample over us when we're overseas. If we don't make them remember this pain, how are we supposed to run our business here?"When the ot
The remaining dozen or so swordsmen from Shinto Way glanced at each other before charging at Harvey, screaming. They were cursing in their language, showing just how brutal they really were.However, Harvey did not mind so much. He simply took a step forward and entered the fray. He either gave them all a slap with an open palm or with the back of his hand.As the slapping sounds echoed in the air, the elite warriors from the Island Nation were all thrown away. The elite Islanders group collapsed on the ground in less than ten seconds. All of them were holding their heads as they felt like they were seeing stars.When Leighton and the others saw what happened, they blinked in disbelief. It was obvious that they never expected Harvey to be so strong.Harvey tossed the paper towel he was wiping his hand with on the ground and turned to Haruka, saying, "Looks like the people you bet your hope on are quite disappointing. Should I give you some more time so you can call more reinforceme
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
