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
"Fine, let's stop wasting our breaths now," Linus said as if he had lost his patience. He immediately stubbed out the cigar in his hand and squinted his eyes as he looked at Yvonne. "I'll give you one day. At this time tomorrow, I want to see all the Xaviers of Wolsing kneel before me and all your assets tallied."You and you. Wait for me in my presidential suite tomorrow night," ordered Linus, pointing at Yvonne and Sia. If you miss even one of them, then Wolsing no longer needs a Xavier family."After that, Linus gave a despicable smile and waved his hand, wanting to take everyone with him and leave. Everyone from the Xavier family could only watch with dark expressions. Yvonne and Sia's faces were red with anger."I don't think we have to wait until tomorrow," Harvey stood up with his hands behind his back. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the shareholders. And I believe I have enough say regarding this. There's nothing wrong if you want to take something back from the X
Argh!Linus got smacked so hard that he was stunned. He opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of blood, and there was a yellow tooth in it. It was quite a terrifying sight. At the same time, half of Linus's face was already swollen.He was utterly surprised.No one would dare do anything like this to him in Country A's elite social circle, even counting those conglomerates who were against each other. At least on the surface, they were all fake and harmonious. But now, someone completely ignored the rules and slapped him directly?This was not something acceptable!Linus immediately raised his head in anger and stared at Harvey. "Darn you! How dare you hit me? Do you have a death wish?"Slap!Harvey did not waste his time and replied. "So what if I hit you?"Slap!"Is your skin thick? Will it hurt my hand?"Slap!Harvey did not stop and slapped him dozens of times using the front and back of his open palm. Linus was beaten to the point that his face was completely bruised. In
"What's going on here? Do you really think there are no laws here? Who dares to start a fight in the middle of the day?" asked the leading officer.Linus gritted his teeth and glanced at Harvey. "See that man? He hit me! I even lost a few teeth! Catch him! Why are you still standing there?! I'm a guest from Country A! If I'm injured and you don't take care of me, my country is going to make you pay!"All Linus wanted to do right now was to kill Harvey immediately, especially when he remembered how Harvey had slapped his face and he even lost a few teeth.But when the officers heard this was a diplomatic issue, they glanced at each other. It could be complicated to deal with, and their professional lives would be over if they did anything wrong. That was why all the officers wanted to leave and inform the Dragon Palace, one of the Four Pillars dealing with international issues."Officers, what's the big deal with fighting," Harvey said at this time. "At most, you can put me in jail
Jesse asked a maid to bring over a tablet. Only one video was playing: the video of Linus pulling out his gun. When they saw this, all the officers narrowed their eyes and exchanged looks.The leading officer immediately said, "Alright. Please bring Mr. Linus and the others back to the precinct first. We'll properly interrogate them back there."After that, the leading officer looked at Harvey and said, "I don't care if you're the victim, Mr. Harvey, but you'll need to go back and be investigated. We won't simply frame anyone, but we won't let any criminal go free.""That's fine. I'll accept however you want to investigate this," replied Harvey, with a shrug, as if he had nothing to lose.Six in the evening.The lawyer the Xaviers hired managed to get Harvey out on bail. While Harvey attacked first, his attack was not excessive. Linus and the genetic fighters did not suffer any serious injuries, so he could leave after paying bail of about half a million.Meanwhile, Linus and his
"Send out our men and use all our contacts and spies in the Island Nation. We must find all the originals and copies of the contracts we've signed with the Islanders and destroy all the evidence immediately. We must do it quickly and destroy them before Linus is released. If we can't, the problem we face will be worse than anything we can imagine," said Nashon with a stern expression.Harvey narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me help as well. Yvonne knows Sky Corporation very well. Let me know if you need Sky Corporation's ability or my help. While we seemed to face only Country A Xavier Inc., everything was too much of a coincidence."I believe this might be a continuation of what happened to the Shinto Way. The people behind all of this had to be from Country A. Not only is he aiming to throw this family into chaos, but he might also be aiming to throw the entire country into chaos. That's why we have to be quick, and we must achieve it. We must control the risk and losses to be as l
Emery's gaze did not even shift as he calmly said, "Speak."Janus whispered, "Linus Xavier, who just came from Country A, had been sent to prison by the precinct. From the news we received from the precinct, this precinct's higher-ups have a vested interest in this, and they've even received some interference from Country A's foreign relations department."That's why the precinct will handle this as fairly as possible. According to my sources, Linus won't be convicted or deported, but he would be locked up for at least three days and three nights."Emery finished the tea from his cup and said, "Isn't he back to regain the Xaviers of Wolsing? How did he end up behind bars when he just arrived? Who did that?""Harvey," Janus did not want to mention the name, but he had to. "The man has a good relationship with Journi and impresses Princess Sienna. And according to my sources, he's also the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group and the representative of Country H's Martial Arts A
Janus hummed under his breath for a while before saying, "Sir, aren't you overestimating Harvey too much? Think about it. He might be smart, but only a little. On Wolsing's chessboard, he's only a pawn at most. It's pure luck that he can accomplish some things and offend a few people here and there."Emery set down the teacup in his hand and sighed. "Lucky? I admit that he might be lucky, but can someone be so fortunate that he can take over both the Country H Commercial Group and Country H Martial Arts Alliance at the same time when he literally just arrived in Wolsing?"And then, it doesn't matter who goes against him, whether it's a Young Master from the top ten families or the arrogant Islanders, all of them end up badly. And then he even interfered with the top ten families and five hidden families' family matters, which meant that he was already part of the top social circle in our country and had access to our resources."But most importantly, someone like him was completely
"Camellia?" Harvey said with a faint smile. "That sounds like the name of an ordinary housewife. Anything special about her?"Clarion's eyes twitched before saying, "Camellia is one of our distant relatives. When she was young, she was called the "Queen Bee". It was said that when she was young, the reason she fought was to make her opponents into her servants. If Grand City had a criminal underworld, then Camellia would be the queen of this underworld. "I've already cleaned up the car park, so Platinum Casino probably won't know what happened yet. However, Camellia has too many contacts in Grand City. It won't take long before she finds out it's you."Clarion hesitated for a little before continuing, "Mr. Representative, while you're very strong, Camellia's just too much of a pervert. I have a feeling that you two will see each other soon. Either you find a way to make peace with her, or you hide. If you do become enemies, then she won't stop until either one of you is dead."It
"Bastard!" All the men in black exchanged a glance and all pounced at Harvey with a dagger. Harvey looked like he could fight, but they were sure that one man couldn't win a fight when outnumbered.They were going to use their numbers to kill Harvey.Slap! Smack! Slap!Harvey didn't let them have their way and immediately slapped the men in black. He struck all of them onto the ground with one slap each.It was just a simple slap, but Harvey made their faces swollen and destroyed their self-confidence. They couldn't understand how despite being so slender, Harvey could fight so well.Forget about retaliation. They couldn't even avoid a slap from Harvey!The woman instantly pointed her gun at Harvey and sneered coldly, "You brainless, ignorant fool. You don't understand who you've crossed and what crime you have committed!"Slap!Before she could finish, Harvey had already appeared in front of her and slapped her away too. She screamed, thrown into midair, her back slamming ag
The woman who was drinking coffee frowned. It was obvious she was very unhappy with Havey's sudden interference."Kid, don’t you know you shouldn't meddle in affairs that don't concern you?" The bald man glanced at Harvey, disdain on his face. "There are many times when those who meddle in others' affairs die horribly."The bald man gestured to his men and the three of them pounced at Harvey, obviously wanting to teach him a lesson. However, they had just gotten a little closer when Harvey took a step forward.It was just a simple move, but the woman who was drinking coffee froze before yelling, "Baldie! Watch out!"The bald man was also instantly soaked with sweat. Harvey was just too fast! He never imagined someone could move so fast. Before he could even retreat, Harvey had already appeared right in front of him and slapped him.Smack!There was a loud smack, and Harvey's hand had already hit his face. The bald man's head slammed onto the ground, blood instantly flowing from
"I can't explain everything. I'm at the car park in Grand City's Central Business District! Please, save me!" Mrs. Hoffman begged. Harvey could hear the fear in her voice.While Harvey didn't know what had happened, he knew that if it wasn't because she was already cornered, she wouldn't have asked a stranger for help. He immediately put on the GPS and said, "Wait for me. I'll be there in three minutes tops."Very quickly, he drove into the car park and parked at a relatively hidden corner. Once he got out of the car, he put on a face mask. Opening the door, he saw a few men in black forcing a woman in a traditional garb into the corner.They held a cigar in their hands, huffing and puffing. They would even snicker perversely. A few security guards handling the safety of the car park weren't that far away, but they stood far away in the corner, too frightened to look.From that alone, it was obvious that these men in black's status must be quite high.Behind them, a coffee table
Harvey was feeling extremely awkward. He faked a cough and changed the topic. "Mr. Wenzel, I don't know what you've been doing in the last decade, but for you to be able to return in such a critical time means you've been paying attention to Grand City all this time, correct? You have let things take its course in Grand City, haven't you?"At Harvey's words, Wenzel and Vaida both put aside the matter of Harvey's marriage.There was a hint of surprise in Wenzel's eyes. "Why do you think that?""Simple. From the way Dan managed to become a scion, I can tell there are plenty of different factions within Grand City. All these factions are probably only respectful of you on the surface. The moment you disappeared, they did everything they could to push Dan into the seat of power so that they could have a puppet they could control."It's sad Dan didn't realize that and simply believed he was skilled in the game. In truth, without their protection, he's no one worth mentioning."Wenzel
Wenzel chuckled and said to Harvey, "You're too humble, Harvey. While you're not the chef, you're the customer. The customer is always right in matters of taste. As a chef, I have to make sure my customers are happy, correct? Otherwise, no one will come anymore."What I want to know is whether you want to be full, or to have a good meal. If you just want to be full, there's plenty for you to taste. But if you want to have it good, you can probably eat a few loaves in the morning. You'll be hungry before lunch."Harvey gave it a thought after listening to Wenzel. Still, he sighed and said, "In reality, I want both. The oven tests a chef's patience a lot. You need to do it again and again, but you need different heat for different pastries. The faster you want them done, the harder it is to make them delicious."That's why if you ask me, rather than trying to simply be full, I believe that one should make each pastry the best it possibly can. If there's something you can't bake or can
"Once everything was ready, Lord Howell then stood on the hill overlooking Lord Felipe's camp across the Red River. He believed his victory was at hand. "Suddenly, a cold breeze blew and the flag of his army hit his face. Only then did he suddenly realize that Lord Felipe's ships were coming from the North, while his own ships were stationed in the South. This was during winter, and the wind was blowing the Northwest. Using a fire attack would not only spare Lord Felipe's forces, but his own ships would also be burned."Lord Howell fell sick and he couldn't be cured. All the generals and soldiers were very nervous. At this time, Lord Kye's chief strategist Lord Albion came to visit him. He said to Lord Howell, 'I have a prescription to cure you of your disease. To defeat Lord Felipe, flame is the best weapon. Everything is ready now except for the Divine Wind.""The wind changed direction as soon as he said that, and Lord Felipe was defeated. And that wind had decided the national
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the ambulance quickly appeared and took Dan and everyone away. Whether they had truly fainted or pretended to faint, they all cooperated throughout the ordeal.At the very least, fainting was better than being humiliated.And that was how a political move ended quickly before it could even officially begin. Everyone watching this was somewhat speechless. Their attention finally shifted to Harvey for a while before disappearing.Harvey couldn't be bothered by them. He smirked and then turned the streaming app on his phone off.After this, Lapis had become much more careful. She quickly arranged for more personnel to defend all the residence's entrances and exits. At the same time, she also sent more personnel to keep an eye on Dan so that something like this wouldn't happen again.Harvey simply shrugged and said nothing. He believed something like this wouldn't occur again. Dan was no fool. He would know that the same trick wouldn't work twice.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!Stickers of rockets filled the chat on the phone's screen. Harvey looked at the stickers and happily said, "Looks like you can attract quite the attention, Dan! You're almost as popular as a small YouTuber! The rocket sticker is one dollar, I think. There are so many here, meaning you've already earned around 60 dollars by kneeling a minute here! This is so worth it!""You…" The prideful Dan could feel himself choking. Suddenly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.He was the scion of Grand City. The scion of Parkerville! Yet to Harvey, he had just become a YouTuber who could earn 60 dollars a minute. Most importantly, Harvey was streaming him kneeling in front of numerous netizens. He ground his teeth, infuriated.Not that far away, Clarion and Neve quickly left. The moment Harvey appeared, they had a very bad feeling. When they saw Harvey fix his phone on the selfie stick, they could feel a chill down their spine. Realizing they weren't part of the st
