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
Right now, Yonathan York, Quinton York, and the higher ups within the Yorks grew slightly anxious.Naturally, they realized that this man was none other than Harvey York.They could only helplessly watch as the man that they had forced away out of Buckwood three years ago stood right in front of them, fully intact.Even to the point of saying something so provocative…Was this his way of provoking the prestige of the York family?If it weren’t for the fact that today was the birthday banquet, and if this was a different occasion, there would already be people ready to take Harvey York down.After all, there were too little opportunities of Harvey York being alone.Maybe there would be no other chances to take him down if they missed this one.Just then, Harvey York let out a small chuckle.“It’d be best if nobody was actually crippled.”“After all, I heard that a famous doctor, Tobias Baker was taken to the border to operate on wounded soldiers. I don’t think he’ll be back so
Grandma York’s banquet had officially begun. The guests all sat on their seats in order.Grandma York sat in a box on her own, looking noble yet mysterious.The guests, on the other hand, have their own own seats in the venue.The invitation that Xynthia Zimmer had received did not enable her to sit that far ahead, but a seat back in the middle row.Harvey York did not mind that much. He went ahead and sat down beside Xynthia Zimmer.As for Rosalie Naiswell, Bruce Cloude, and the rest were sitting in the middle seats that were near to the front rows.The front most seats were reserved for the people with the highest statuses.The people that attended the banquet that day had come from different types of businesses and backgrounds.Government officials, mob circles, people in the military, and even the people in business circles were there. All of them had high statuses.This was enough to prove how terrifying the Yorks’ connections and influence were.The top-rated family in
The front row seats were almost filled up when the big characters were all introduced one by one.But there was still a spot empty in the middle.Everyone knew that there was only one man capable of sitting there from previous events.And that was the legendary Prince York!However, today, it would be different.This day, the seat was for the head of the four Gods of War in South Light!The man that could work side by side with the first-in-command, Lieutenant Colonel Ethan Hunt’s seat!Even though Ethan Hunt was just a lieutenant colonel, his authority had far surpassed expectations.Yonathan York looked at the crowd’s faces full of anticipation, then smiled and exclaimed, “Everyone, please give your loudest applause to the head of the four Gods of War, the lieutenant colonel of the Sword Camp, Ethan Hunt!”Clap, clap, clap, clap!The crowd’s applause sounded like lightning striking the ground.‘Ethan Hunt is here!’‘His status in South Light is too high!’‘The Sword Camp
Joel Flynn carried the gift box with both hands and walked to Ethan Hunt’s side with a look of awe on his face, accompanied by the cheers of the crowd.Yonathan York then introduced the gift.“This is a gift for Lieutenant Colonel Ethan. It’s a limited-edition Patek Philippe antique sports watch.”“This watch has a history that spans a hundred years, and this is one of a kind. It’s truly priceless!”“For the Yorks, we feel only something like this could fit Lieutenant Colonel Ethan’s status!”“Please don’t misunderstand us, Lieutenant Colonel Ethan!”“Everyone who attends the banquet tonight will receive an expensive gift!”“These are the rules in South Light, and also rules for the Yorks. Even more so, it’s the main goal for this birthday banquet!”“This has nothing to do with anything else.”“Rest assured, people won’t spread word about you keeping this gift. Just treat it as a souvenir.”Naturally, the Yorks were paying their fullest respects for Ethan Hunt.Whether there
For Yonathan York, the fact that his own blood-related son was noticed by a big shot like Ethan Hunt was definitely something to be celebrated.There might even be a possibility for his own son to take over his position as the family head in the future.But it was not good news at all for Quinton York on the other hand.In his eyes, Ethan Hunt was someone honorable who’s invited through Yonathan’s connections.And now that Ethan specifically mentioned Wayne York, so what could this possibly mean?However, those were just thoughts that just briefly flashed across Yonathan and Quinton’s minds, they felt more excited than ever at the present moment.Now that Ethan said something like that, no matter who he was going to support amongst the Yorks, it’s already certain that he’s showing support to the York family.The spectators down the stage wouldn’t care about the internal conflict within the York family.What they saw was just the Yorks showing off right that moment.Showing off
Not long after, with Yonathan and Quinton York at his side, Ethan Hunt reached the middle seat which was left vacant specifically for him.Yonathan spoke up with a smile, “Lieutenant Colonel Hunt! This seat is specifically reserved for you, no one apart from you in this whole room is worthy to sit here.”“Have a seat, Lieutenant Colonel Hunt!” The South Light’s second-in-command also made a gesture of welcoming him to sit down with all smiles on his face.For him, it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with Ethan Hunt.Hearing their words, however, Ethan remained silent and knitted his eyebrows together.He didn’t sit down right that instant nor moved an inch of muscle, he set his eyes on the seat before him with an unpredictable gaze.At that moment, everyone became a bit panicked.Especially the Yorks, who couldn’t really comprehend the situation before their eyes already.A big shot like him had to be treated with care, the same goes for the York family.Which was
"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
