The deafening sounds of the propellers almost blew everyone away.A brief moment later, the crowd soon realized that there were armed military helicopters pointing white lights down at them.“Why would the military suddenly appear out of nowhere?”Everyone shared perplexed stares. Even Yonathan York was frowning slightly.With the connections and relationships he had in the military, how could a scene like this possibly occur?A short moment later, dozens of armed soldiers without symbols of their titles descended from the helicopters with ropes.The man that led them seemed to be very young. He swiftly walked toward Tobias Baker and bowed.“Mr. Baker, a batch of wounded soldiers were sent back from the Central America battlefield. Every single one of them is facing severe casualties. I’ve received orders to request you to operate on them as soon as possible. Please understand!”After he was finished talking, he did not waste another second and took Tobias Baker away.Immediat
“Sir, with your connections, how could a few foot soldiers take away someone from you?”Quinton York could not believe what he had heard.Yonathan York frowned. “That’s right. Normally speaking, no military force in South Light would dare to even offend me, but somebody actually made their move on us this time…”“Since he’s using new recruits, obviously he didn’t want to expose his identity.”Quinton York began to speculate.“Perhaps the military started having some qualms about us since Ethan Hunt is on our side now?”“Is some major family trying to oppose us?”“Or maybe, it’s that man…”Yonathan York frowned again. “There’s no evidence of anything right now. The thing is, their dignified excuse was that there were wounded soldiers who just came back to South Light from war, and that they needed to be operated…”“I’ve gotten news of what happened. There was indeed a conflict on a smaller scale. A couple dozen people from the neighbouring country died, and there were only a fe
The time until Grandma York’s birthday banquet was inching closer and closer. All of Buckwood was bathed in a joyous mood, as if the day was a public holiday.Almost all of Buckwood knew.The Yorks’ had incredibly high status in Buckwood, and were truly Buckwood’s top family.All the first-rated families in Buckwood agreed that an invitation to the Yorks’ birthday banquet was a big honor.Many people took pictures of their invitations immediately after they had gotten theirs, to show off their status and ranking.This showed the value and importance of Grandma York’s birthday banquet that the Yorks held up to. The publicity even did their part to prove that.Right before the day of the banquet, Xynthia Zimmer reluctantly brought home the invitations to the banquet.She had to spend a long time begging her godparents for them.Mandy Zimmer, on the other hand, was worried sick because of what had happened with Wayne York.She dared not attend Grandma York’s birthday, no matter w
Everyone was waiting in the living room while the celebration was still being prepared.There were champagne towers and western buffets free for them to enjoy.Harvey York and Xynthia Zimmer soon found some seats and sat down. “Harvey… Harvey York, is that you?”A voice called behind him.Harvey York turned around and saw a cold beauty approaching him.A few months had passed, but the aura between her eyes hadn’t changed one bit.Her teary eyes stared right at Harvey York. She was quite excited, and was barely holding back her emotions.The woman was from one of Buckwood’s top-rated families, Rosalie Naiswell of the Naiswell family.The two had interacted quite a bit during their time in Niumhi. Harvey York even gave her a ride before her departure from Niumhi.But after leaving Niumhi, the two hadn’t met for nearly three whole months.Even after arriving at Buckwood, Harvey York had been extremely busy. He did not have any intention of seeing her at the moment.“How could
Harvey York didn’t even flinch when facing the man’s ridicule.In his eyes, this clown had no meaning. Naturally, he wouldn’t care.Compared to the Yorks, this man was less than a speck of dust.After seeing Harvey York’s attitude, Rosalie had a slight change of mind.Three months ago, he seemed so full of spirit to her; a man who could reject her own invitation.How could he have possibly turned into someone who would simply swallow humiliation? Could a three month period change a man so easily?After taking a deep breath, Rosalie Naiswell reverted back to her icy demeanor.She glared at the man and snapped coldly, “Bruce Cloude. Whoever I date and befriend does not concern you now, does it?”“If you’re willfully insulting my friend again, don’t blame me for being hard on you!”Rosalie Naiswell spoke with the full aura and manner of a cold beauty.Bruce Cloude was her pursuer, after all. After her chiding, he did not speak another word. However, he grew to despise Harvey
Seeing Harvey York humiliated by two people who came out of nowhere, Xynthia Zimmer grew somewhat angry.She pulled on Harvey’s arm and snarled coldly, “The two of you who came out of nowhere!”“You’re just a bunch of shortsighted people!”“My brother-in-law is awesome! Especially compared to a wretched man like you!”“You think he’s scared of you?! He just doesn’t care about you!”“Because you’re just an ant to him!”In truth, Xynthia Zimmer had no clue of Harvey’s real identity.But a man who could buy her a property that cost a few hundred million dollars without batting an eye, a man who could purchase the Spinning Restaurant in Buckwood Tower, was not someone who could be provoked so easily by a clown like Bruce Cloude.“Oh, Harvey! What a cute sister-in-law you have!”Bruce Cloude wasn’t even perturbed. Instead, he gave them a scornful grin.“I’m an ant? Alright, I’ll admit it. In front of a man like Prince York, I am just an ant.”“But I, Bruce Cloude, am from the Clo
Rosalie Naiswell was a bit disappointed in Harvey York, but she did not immediately expose him. Instead, she exclaimed icily, “Harvey York. I did not believe in you before, but you had proved with your own strength that you were capable.”“Now, I want to see if you can do the same. Prove that you are right, and that you are actually capable!”Bruce Cloude chuckled coldly.“Since Rosalie wants this, I’ll be counting on it as well.”“Once you’ve taken over the Yorks, I’ll make sure to be your security team leader. Please give me a chance to do so when that happens, CEO York!”Harvey York actually treated that as an actual promise.He sized up Bruce Cloude for a while. “Right, a scrawny body like yours doesn’t look like you’ll be fit as the security team leader. But since I’ve already promised you, I’ll make sure you get the position.”“Make sure to get to the office on time.”At that, Bruce Cloude could not hold himself back anymore.He no longer had the intention to make fun of
Everyone looked at Joel Flynn weirdly after hearing his words.While he had proven the worth of the antique watch, it was still a dead man’s treasure.Not far behind, Harvey York’s expressions turned as cold as a raging blizzard.Xynthia Zimmer and Rosalie Naiswell subconsciously glanced at Harvey York.They both felt an undisguised aura of murderous intent in his gaze.Joel Flynn and Bruce Cloude, on the other hand, did not even put Harvey York in their eyes. None of them took notice of it.Right then, Harvey York’s heart was filled with the intent to kill.Not only did his good friend’s belongings get split between people, someone even prepared one as a gift to another person!Joel Flynn waved a hand, and his underlings carefully carried a safe box over.Rosalie Naiswell went over and gave a few glances at what was inside. She then quietly said, “That’s right, this is indeed the antique Patek Philippe watch.”Joel Flynn smiled after receiving her approval.“Right. If so, I
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. If you're not going to make a choice soon, I'm going to do that for you." Harvey extended his hand and patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree.Silvan's eyes narrowed. Only at this time did he realize why Dan had forced him to make his move even if he had to spend that precious one chance. The way Harvey did things was simply too overbearing and couldn't be prepared for."Put down the Absolute Decree!""What you're doing is forbidden in Grand City!""This is outrageous!"All the Earth Hall elites yelled, furious.Alexei used this chance to get closer to Harvey and whispered, "Big bro, you should pay more respect to the Absolute Decree. If you keep this up, you might anger all Seven Predecessors if you're not careful."Silvan smiled coldly. "You hear that, Harvey? You humiliated Grand City by stealing the Absolute Decree. You're in big trouble now."Harvey smiled. "You don't have to worry whether I'm in trouble or not. You
"No one can say that I won't be the future mayor of Grand City. As long as I have the possibility of becoming the mayor, what you do know is insubordination!" Harvey sneered. "Are you brave enough to touch me?""Really now?" Silvan snapped, his face frosty. "Do you think I haven't prepared anything before coming here?"Silvan took out a badge made of a special material, flashing it in front of Harvey. "The Absolute Decree! While it can only be used once, it will allow anyone to enter any place within Grand City! I think this is the perfect place to use this. Forget about the fact that you're not even the scion of Grand City just yet. Even if you are, you need to obey the Absolute Decree!"He waved his hand and commanded, "Alright! Go and get our target!"Whoosh!Before anyone from Earth Hall could move, Harvey took a step and immediately appeared right in front of Silvan. Before Silvan could react, Harvey slapped his face. Slap!The slap was loud, and it was powerful enough t
A simple sentence seemed to contain an endless amount of murderous intention, putting all the elites from the Earth Hall on their guard. Silvan's face became terrifyingly dark."I know you're powerful, Harvey. You crushed the Origin Fist's Mark and even defeated all the Island Nation's six schools in the past. There's no mistake that you're a true warrior. But think through this clearly. There are so many of us here, can you defeat us? Even if you can, what if the three halls combined forces? What if all 100,000 of Grand City's elites attacked?"I'm advising you here right now because I have some respect for your role as the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance. But if you still refuse to listen and want to force your way, we don't mind doing it until the end. You can try and attack any of us here. Let's see if the thousands of elites from the three halls will attack, and how many of us can you actually kill!" Silvan's handsome face turned brutal.If it was someone
However, Silvan couldn't simply leave like this or surrender. He gritted his teeth and instantly pulled out a gun from his waist. After disengaging the safety, he pointed at Harvey and said coldly, "I'm not here to waste my breath with you, Harvey. Take Tina here. I'll give you one minute. Otherwise, don't blame me for being callous! While you are indeed quite powerful, I trust that you know the people around you aren't that powerful!"36 men in black robes took a step forward. The weapons in their hands were not only aimed at Harvey, but also on Alexei and the rest.Harvey narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I do have the Tina that you're looking for, but I saved her out of the generosity of my heart as she was being pursued. However, something interesting about me is that when I save someone, I'll make sure to go all the way. Since she's now with me, I naturally need to ensure her safety."You can take her away. You can even put her in your prison. However, I need you to provide me w
Harvey played with the umbrella in his hand and said curiously, "You're with Dan?"When Silvan heard that, he said coldly, "Mr. Representative, do I need to repeat myself? I am Silvan of the Earth Hall. Now that I'm here, I am the warrant from Earth Hall as well as Grand City's law. And when I act, all will obey my orders. Even the Seven Families will cooperate with me without delay. Understand?"Harvey smiled. "And if I can't understand?"Silvan simply raised his hands.Clack! Clack!All 36 men in the black robes took out unique firearms and disengaged the safety, aiming in Harvey's direction."These weapons are specialized firearms Country A created against martial arts elites. Their bullets are created from toxins that could deal with True Warriors that Grand City has perfected. The ones with weapons are trained elites who with god-like accuracy and an iron will. If all 36 of them pull the trigger at the same time, even a living legend who has reached the level of uniting Man
Grand City looked quite mysterious under the cover of the night. The skies above were covered in dark clouds, with flashes of lightning visible occasionally—it was dazzling.Just when the butler of the Foster Residence was about to tell the staff to secure the gates for the night, sounds of car engines could be heard approaching from afar. Bright headlights swept over, and the staff instinctively narrowed their eyes. Eighteen Land Rover Defenders headed straight to the residence, surrounded by an unspeakable force. Thanks to the rain, one couldn't clearly see the figures within.However, each of the cars had red car plates, which was quite shocking to those in the know.It was Grand City's Purgatory Hall!The three halls of Grand City were the three institutions created for the city. The Heaven Hall was responsible for defense, the Earth Hall covered law enforcement, while the Purgatory Hall had dominion over execution.It could be said that among the Three Halls, while the Eart
Coco looked at her phone and saw her Facebook alternate account had just added Tina. She frowned slightly. The only reason she approved the request was so Willy and the others could use that to pinpoint Tina's current location. She didn't expect Tina would dare send her voice messages…and so many of them in one go, at that.Originally, Coco wanted to delete all those voice messages. However, the last message read, "This is for your own good, so you better give it a read." There was even a smiley face at the end.Coco was slightly stunned when she saw it. She exchanged a look with Dan, and the two told everyone to leave before playing the voice messages.Coco wasn't interested in everything in the beginning, since it was Tina begging for her life. She didn't take it to heart. But when she reached the end, Coco's expression suddenly darkened. "How you and your brother poisoned Alexei, how you ordered Sky Plane to ambush the mayor for your brother's sake, and the truth behind Duran
"Coco, it's fine. This is not Willy's fault," Dan said calmly as if he had everything planned and saw through everything.He pulled out a vintage wine that he had been saving, uncorked it, and poured Coco a glassful, hoping his sister could calm down at this key moment."Who could have expected at this day and age, a mere servant could fight back when forced into a corner? Tina was indeed just an ordinary woman, but when facing a life-and-death situation, it was quite normal for her to have a burst of energy. She ran straight for the Fosters' territory, which was obviously meant to make things difficult for us."Willy not performing as well as we expected is only because we can't make an enemy out of the Fosters just yet. This is for my good, so stop blaming them anymore."At the very least, he has already arranged a few snipers nearby. The moment Tina shows her face, they'll kill her immediately. Things aren't so bad that they can't be solved," Dan said, sighing.Then, he continu
"What do you mean?" Tina was slightly stunned, unable to react to Harvey's words.Harvey waved a familiar-looking phone. In front of her, he tapped on the red exclamation marks. When the resend button appeared, he tapped it. Ding! Ding! Ding!All the voice messages that failed to be sent out earlier had all been sent out. Meanwhile, Tina finally managed to react. Tina screamed."Ahhh! Harvey, you fool! You're going to get me killed!" Tina screamed.She momentarily forgot the wounds on her as she almost jumped from the bed, as if wanting to choke Harvey to death. She knew very well what the sent messages meant for Coco.Most importantly, she even told Coco she had a recorder with her…This…This gave Coco the perfect reason to get her killed. Her fate had been decided the moment Harvey pressed the send button!That bastard!He really was a bastard!How could there be such a shameless man in this world? If eyes could kill, Tina believed she would have already killed Harve
