Tyson did not speak. He just looked at the cigar in his hand, which was burned only halfway.His two subordinates immediately understood his actions and proceeded to hit Barry even harder.Tyson took a drag of the cigar, sighing. “Barry, you’re nothing in my eyes.”“There’s no misunderstanding between us.”“What have you done recently? Who have you offended? You should know better than me, right?”“No! I didn’t offend anyone!” Barry replied miserably. “I’ve always been a well-behaved businessman!” “Really? Then I’ll help you recall.”Tyson then stepped forward and kicked Barry in the face.“Gggh!”Barry’s body flew and smashed into the wall of the room. The impact made him spit out a few broken teeth. Yet at the moment, he was wide awake with realization.He remembered it!He had offended Mandy recently!But if Mandy could hire someone like Tyson Woods, why was she intimidated by him?None of this made any sense!“Brother Tyson, no, Sir Tyson! I’m sure it’s a misundersta
At two o’clock in the morning, Harvey left the Gardens Residence and went to Tyson’s residence.Barry Waters was dragged out of the basement. His injuries weren’t minor, but in Harvey’s eyes, they were nothing serious.Seeing that Barry was still able to stand up, Harvey’s indifferent gaze fell on Tyson.Tyson shuddered. He gave Barry no chance to speak.He hurriedly threw a violent kick at Barry’s stomach, sending the latter flying. Barry’s whole body started to convulse when he slumped to the ground.“Misunderstanding…”“Brother Tyson, it’s really a misunderstanding!”Barry murmured weakly.Tyson did not dare to speak casually in front of Harvey. He stood with his hands pulled down, not saying a word.Harvey stepped forward and slowly pressed his foot on Barry’s face. With a cold hiss, he began, “What did you do to Mandy today?”For a moment, Barry was dumbfounded. He never expected to hear Mandy’s name!He struggled to turn over, but couldn’t. He could only mutter, “Who a
Harvey stared at Barry Waters indifferently. After a while, he turned and left without doing anything.Tyson Woods was dumbfounded. When did Harvey ever talk so nicely? He actually walked away just like that!“Prince, this…”Harvey said indifferently, “Let him go.”“Why?” Tyson Woods was flabbergasted. “Didn’t he offend Sister-in-law?” “Prince York, don’t worry. Just leave him to me. I’ll deal with him and finish the job.”But Harvey said, “You’re still not smart enough even after following me for so long.”“Can’t you see that this man is useless? What ability does he have to be in charge of the raw material market in Buckwood? Clearly, someone is behind him!” “Isn’t it the Surrey family?” Tyson Woods asked.Harvey shook his head. “It’s hard to tell exactly who.” The four major first-class families; the Surreys, the Robbinses, the Yateses, and the Cloudes were definitely on the same side.They had just suffered a loss in his hands recently. Because of Harvey, these first-
“Good job. Did that trash show up?”Wayne York said coldly.His voice seemed to tremble when he said “trash”, but the people around him did not notice it.Even if Wayne wanted to attack Harvey, he dared not let his subordinates know Harvey’s true identity.Regardless of which of Harvey’s identity was exposed, the outcome would be terrifying.“Are you talking about that useless moron? That live-in son-in-law, Harvey York?!”“He did appear as you said, but he didn’t do anything to me. I think he even asked Tyson Woods to let me go.”“Just as you assumed, he’s likely the representative of some big shot.”Wayne nodded. He stretched out his finger and tapped gently on the armrest of his wheelchair. After a while, he chuckled and said, “That man seems to be very considerate. If he hasn’t determined that the person behind you is a Surrey, he wouldn’t take any action.”“In that case, send him a gift. Let him and the Surrey family fight against each other endlessly!”“Yes!”A group o
The next day, Mandy arrived at the construction site of the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort early in the morning, as usual.However, Mandy did not know what to feel when she looked at the empty construction site. Not only were there no construction workers, even the employees didn’t come.When Harvey said that everything would be solved today, she had secretly looked forward to it somewhat.Nonetheless, the situation today was exactly the same as yesterday.Thinking of this, Mandy smiled wryly to herself.‘Mandy, Mandy. What are you thinking?’If Harvey was that capable, how could he remain a live-in son-in-law?Sometimes, Mandy could not understand it either. How did Harvey do it? How could he bear the criticisms and insults by the Zimmers without batting an eye?Just when Mandy sighed again, a van stopped quietly on the side of the road. Someone in the car was spying on Mandy with a telescope.“Brother Frank, that’s Mandy Zimmer.”“Go and bring her over. The other employees h
“Prince York, just leave it to me. I’ll deal with it.”Tyson Woods said, rising.Harvey nodded. It was not proper for him to intervene in the affairs of the streets. The safest way was to let Tyson deal with the matter.Plus, Harvey was keenly aware that there seemed to be something wrong with everything.It was as if someone couldn’t wait to see him start a war with the Surrey family.After Tyson left, Harvey looked for Ray Hart.With Ray’s current position in Buckwood, he could easily pinpoint the exact address of Barry Waters’ residence with a single call.Ray drove Harvey to Barry’s residence.At this moment, Barry was home. A secretary with beautiful long legs was helping him wipe the wound on his face.“CEO Waters, who did this to you? He’s so cruel!” The secretary said tenderly. “Tell me, I’ll slap him for you!” Barry laughed and smacked on the secretary’s buttock with his hand. “Silly woman, you don’t know anything! This is what you call courage!”“Although I’m beat
Barry naturally knew that according to the plan, Mandy should have fallen into Frank Costello’s hands.However, he held his head and sneered, “Trash! If your wife’s going out to meet someone, it’s none of my business. If she’s being taken away, you should go and find her! Why are you looking for me?”Barry’s long-legged secretary also walked out. She shot Harvey a threatening glare. “Who are you? How dare you hurt CEO Waters! Don’t you know he can call the police to drag you away with just a single call?”“I’m not in a good mood today. I’m not going to talk nonsense with you.”“Let me ask again.” Harvey’s expression was cold. “Did you send someone to take away my wife, Mandy Zimmer?” “Harvey, you have to show evidence for what you said! I’m a serious businessman. I’ll never do that kind of thing!”“I’m telling you! Insult me again, and I’ll sue you for defamation!”Barry cursed, pointing an accusatory finger at Harvey. He felt no guilt. In fact, he had forgotten to accuse Harve
Mandy Zimmer’s words incited laughter from the lackeys behind Frank Costello.“Mandy, did you actually see yourself as a tasty dish? You dare to actually threaten Mr. Costello?”“There’s actually someone with this much courage these days? You have no idea what you’re dealing with!”“You haven’t seen what Mr Costello is capable of! If you did, you’d be begging on your knees right now!”“Mr Costello, you’re being too generous to this lady. If it were me, I’d push her to the brink of death and keep her alive just barely!”The lackeys all seemed more ruthless than the other. Naturally, they seemed experienced in situations like this.Frank waved his hand and walked up toward Mandy. He then lifted her chin up with his right hand, smiling.“Young lady, I’ve never met anyone that would insult me like in years!”“Are you complaining about your long ife?”“You should know about Prince York’s proposal a few days ago, right?”Under these circumstances, Mandy had to bring out Prince York
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
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
