At this moment, Stephen York’s bait suddenly moved slightly.As soon as he threw his arms upward, he saw a silver Arowana flung by him and landed onshore.Seeing the silver Arowana jumping around and struggling, the four chiefs looked perplexed.Stephen was watching this scene with great interest. He only dropped his fishing rod after the silver Arowana died. He then clapped his hands, turned around, and smiled. He said, “Chiefs, what’re your thoughts on the huge incident that’s going on in Buckwood recently?”Grandma Yates was slightly puzzled. She was the first to speak. “Speaking of this, I also want to ask Young Master York a question. Why are there rumors outside stating that the York was no longer in power and that all the assets of the Yorks were taken over by Sky Corporation?”Stephen put on a meaningful smile and said, “It’s just that we’ve lost a game and returned some things to my elder brother. However, losing a few assets to get to know some true news is not bad.”Gr
Looking at the four chiefs, their expressions were extremely tense.Stephen York suddenly smiled and said, “It’s a bit interesting. This is the first time you have shown such serious expressions in so many years.”“It seems that this time, that person has brought you enormous pressure!”Eric laughed after listening to Stephen’s words. “Young Master Stephen, we do feel pressured. We’re afraid that we won’t be able to solve this person within the limited time.”James Surrey smiled. “Young Master Stephen, don’t worry, we’ve been in South Light for so many years.”“Even the emperor couldn’t shake me even a bit, let alone a bragging brat!”“Moreover, we aren’t worried since we have Young Master Stephen strategizing behind all this!”Callum Robbins cracked a smile and said, “That’s right. If that person simply makes a move on any of us, we might be brought down even without any of us noticing.”“However, now we already know that he wanted to bring us down altogether. How is that even
Callum Robbins and the others just pretended that they did not hear Grandma Yates’ words.Meanwhile, Eric Cloude changed the subject, and said solemnly, “I heard a few days ago that the chief instructor of the Sword Camp appeared at the assessment ceremony at the Sword Camp.”“How come we didn’t go there to visit him that day? I deeply regret it!”Callum nodded and said, “Yes! Now that Melissa has left South Light, I don’t know what will happen in the future. The four families should indeed think of other plans.”“If we could get the chief instructor to be our new benefactor, then why should we even fear Prince York?”James Surrey lamented, “Yes, no matter how strong Prince York is, he’s nothing more than a capable man in the business world. However, the chief instructor is a living legend!“I heard that this man will have the opportunity to become the big boss of Country H military. He will be the second most powerful in Country H. His future is immeasurable!”They lamented eve
The chiefs quarreled for a while, but all of them smiled, putting up an expression that they were all joking.As for how they were going to execute their plans after going back, no one knew about it.After all, those people were all as cunning as a fox. They would never let outsiders see through their plans easily.After speaking, Callum Robbins waved his hand, signaling a subordinate to send a pile of documents over. He then handed it to others respectively.This was a copy of the contract. It was clearly written inside that all the assets and projects of the Yorks would belong to Sky Corporation after three days.There must be a grand ceremony on that day.“Everyone, let’s get down to business. Sky Corporation’s annexation of the Yorks’ assets is already a certainty. What should we do?” Callum laughed.Eric Cloude said indifferently, “What else could we do? Since our Prince York was very high profile, let’s go and meet him.“If his prowess is still the same as three years ago
“Really? Is the dignified Prince York so innocent that he only has one woman?”Mandy looked curious.Harvey said thoughtfully, “This is because his woman is very important to him.”“You sounded like you know Prince York.” Mandy curled her lips.“By the way, don’t talk nonsense again. Don’t say that you’re Prince York and I’m that woman. I won’t believe in big talk like that.“However, since you’re so interested in Prince York. Go and participate in the ceremony organized by Sky Corporation three days later.”Mandy took out an invitation card and handed it to Harvey.This invitation card was from Sky Corporation to their subsidiaries, inviting them to participate in Sky Corporation’s joint venture ceremony.Mandy initially wanted to go, but she had been busy planning how to draw a line with the Zimmer family recently. She was too busy, so she did not have the time.However, she had to attend this ceremony. Hence, she wanted Harvey to go and see on her behalf.“Okay, I’ll go an
At Royal View Garden, Harvey York dialed a number and spoke calmly, “I’ll be taking a trip to Half Moon Bay tomorrow.”“It is my honor, Chief Instructor. Would you like me to fetch you?” The excitement was seething from the other side of the phone.Harvey gave a thought about it.“No need, I’ll call you soon.”“I’ll prepare immediately!”The person on the other side of the phone was named Ray Hart, one of Harvey York’s personal guards in the Sword Camp back then but he had retired for about a year or so.Ray Hart’s family would be considered a ruler around the Half Moon Bay. He had immense authority, it would be best to contact him if Harvey York wanted to take someone there for leisure.The next day, Harvey did not ask Yvonne Xavier to send a car over early in the morning. Instead, he drove Mandy Zimmer’s car and swiftly made his way to Half Moon Bay.Half Moon Bay was one of Buckwood’s bay areas. The place was quite developed for tourism. It would be expected of Lilian Yates’
“You…” Felix Howard showed a hint of anger in his eyes.‘How dare that filth try to stop me?’Autumn Reyes seemed to have realized what had happened and swiftly interrupted them.“It’s your first time meeting each other as relatives. Let me introduce everyone.“Felix Howard is Sky Corporation’s department manager. I’m sure you’ve heard of it before? It’s the corporation that the legendary Prince York built up!“He spent a great deal of money to get the opportunity from overseas to be headhunted by the corporation. His achievements in Sky Corporation will be immense in the future!“And we’re preparing to continue developing in Buckwood now that we’re back in the country once again. Please come visit more often!”While hearing Autumn Reyes introducing Felix Howard humbly, he then intentionally looked at Mandy Zimmer.“Cousin Mandy, I heard that your company works under Sky Corporation, we’re like family now. I’ll take good care of your company.”Mandy Zimmer smiled.“Thank yo
“How do I describe him…?” Felix Howard had a dignified look on his face.“When I first saw Prince York, there was a circle of light shining behind his back coincidentally making him look like a god!“The top man is not just for show after all!“And that wasn’t all. His car must be a custom-made Rolls Royce. The exterior of his car was studded full of diamonds as if it were the idiosyncrasy of Prince York himself!“Most importantly, there were about a thousand guards following Prince York. Ordinary people could not even get close to him!”Pfft—Harvey York could not hold in his laughter once again.Felix furiously exclaimed all of a sudden, “Why are you still laughing, you filth? Are you mocking me, or are you mocking Prince York?!”The crowd was frowning after hearing that.In South Light, especially the people in Buckwood knew about Prince York’s true powers.And Harvey dared to scoff at Prince York himself? Was he looking for his own death?Harvey York sternly replied, “Ac
Harvey stood behind Clarion as he looked at all these men and women in their luxurious outfits. Other than the heirs of the large families from Grand City, Harvey could not really tell how powerful they were. Harvey even noticed quite a few mutant elites from Country A. All of them gathered together and all the topics they discussed about were extremely sophisticated, making them feel that they were the most important individuals in this world.Other than these people, she saw a woman wearing purple traditional garb in the middle of the group. She could not tell the woman's age, but her figure was slender and curvaceous. She carried an esteemed imposition. Or perhaps, it was better to describe her imposition as queen-like.She held an exquisite hookah in her hand that was made from gold. She would sometimes take a puff before blowing out a stream of smoke, as if she were some kind of empress.Quite a few men would glance at her before averting their eyes, as if they were too afraid
Every word Clarion heard from Jade made his expression turn even darker. When she finished, Clarion almost wanted to stomp on the woman even as he suppressed his anger. Just when Clarion was going to slap Jade in the face as she deserved, Neve stopped him.Neve then took a golden card from her Hermes handbag and gave it to Jade. "I have a member card. This is the card your madam gave to me when the Platinum Casino was first established. I believe you will accept this."Neve never paid much attention to the card when she first received it and simply kept it in her handbag. She did not expect it to have some use today. "This is one out of the fifty member cards the casino gave out at the beginning. I was told it gives me the highest privilege. You won't deny this, will you?"While Neve was smiling, her words were cold and harsh. "If you won't, then I can assume the Platinum Casino has a problem with the Fosters of the Universal Sect. I will then report this to my grandfather."Clario
The woman was beaming at Clarion and said, "Everyone knows who you are in Grand City, sir. My name is Jade Bierstadt, and I'm your biggest fan. Although I'm a fan, I still need to obey the rules here. It will be bad for society if everyone can simply break the rules, right?"In other words, it's not because I have something against you. But it's because I have no choice as this is my duty. Since I'm making a living here, I need to perform my duties to earn my salary, correct? So, please forgive us and show us workers some mercy. But if you must ignore the rules here, then I'm afraid I'll have no choice…"And then, Jade gently clapped her hands. A group of men-in-black slowly walked out of the VIP passage after that. There were also some clicking sounds from the high ground some distance away, as several men started to parade their sniper rifles.The Platinum Casino had truly demonstrated their superiority today.Harvey narrowed his eyes. He had quickly determined that whether it wa
Vroom!When the sun was setting, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class slowly stopped in front of the Platinum Casino.Clarion was extremely against Harvey wanting to help Hale, but in the end, he still could not resist Harvey's insistence. He had no choice but to take Harvey to see Camellia.This was because Clarion genuinely meant well toward Harvey.No matter how it looked, Harvey had been surrounded by enemies ever since he had arrived in Grand City. In this kind of situation, Clarion hoped that Harvey would have a few enemies left.At the very least, they should have a talk before going for each other's throat.Of course, Harvey had no hope that anything could be achieved by talking. However, when he saw how Clarion was thinking of him, he believed he should at least make the effort to meet the legendary Queen Bee Camellia and see if they could actually talk things out.Clarion also felt relieved when he saw that Harvey was willing to talk. He even invited Neve to be there too, hoping th
"If I remember correctly, Dan is also a True Warrior elite, correct? Is he not interested in this Chapter of Ascension? He didn't have a hand in this?" asked Harvey when he remembered something else.Clarion smirked. "Well… How should I put this? Of course, everyone who practices martial arts will be interested in the Chapter of Ascension. One becomes practically invincible once one can step into that level. Once a person reaches that stage, all the politicking and schemes will become pointless, since they're nothing before absolute power."However, Clarion heaved a sigh. "Unfortunately, one cannot instantly become a master when it comes to martial arts. The Chapter of Ascension is indeed something very beneficial, but it also causes more harm than good. Unless someone possesses extreme power, those who have it in their possession will be attacked by everyone else."This doesn't only apply to Grand City. Even when one is outside of Grand City, there will be countless factions and el
"Alright, enough talk," interrupted Harvey as he changed the subject. "Why would someone like Camellia be interested in Hale? Even if he was once a martial arts prodigy, so what? Don't tell me one of the Seven Families of Grand City is interested in his martial arts manuals."Clarion's expression was obviously hesitant. He wanted to say something, but he could not decide. Harvey did not force him, however. Harvey calmly reasoned, "If it's something you can say, say it. But if you can't, then just stay quiet. I won't force you when it comes to things like this."Clarion sighed. "It's not that I can't say it. It's just that this involves too many people. It's extremely complicated. I'm worried you can't climb back up because it goes so deep."Harvey calmly replied, "Don't worry. Forget about Grand City. Few things in this world can make me worry about it being too complicated."Clarion scoffed but still whispered. "I'll be direct. Everything I say to you right now can't be proven by
"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
