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
Barry Waters arrived soon after.He and Frank locked eyes, their frowns apparent.The new upstart of Buckwood, Tyson Woods, was not a man to be trifled with. Rumors said that there was a major figure supporting him from behind the scenes. Even gang bosses and their ancestors feared Tyson.When a man like him was on his way to them, the two couldn’t help but feel intimidated.“Maybe we should ask Lord York for instructions,” Barry said discreetly.Frank’s face was as dark as night. He knew how Wayne York would react. Wayne only cared about the outcome, never the process.If Frank asked for Wayne York’s help, it would be his death sentence.Besides, Frank wasn’t sure if Wayne York could face Tyson Woods.While the two were still thinking of what to do next, Tyson Woods arrived moments later. Harvey was also beside him.Frank noticed Harvey the second as Harvey came into Frank’s sight.‘Where did this guy come from?’‘How dare he walk in front of Tyson Woods?’‘Maybe he’s Tyso
Frank felt an unspeakable pressure from Harvey push him down, the sensation similar to when he was kneeling before Wayne York.‘Who is this man? Why does this man have an aura stronger than Wayne York?’“So tell me,” Harvey began coldly. “What is Barry Waters planning to do to my wife?” Frank shivered, then proceeded to tell Harvey the truth.“He said he wanted to see how Prince York’s woman tastes like.”“And…and he said that the Surreys are supporting him behind the scenes, and that nobody would dare to touch him!”Barry started to sweat profusely at Frank’s words.This was, in fact, a part of their plan.Yet without knowing why, Barry subconsciously felt like he had done something wrong.“Are you sure this was his own idea?” Tyson asked suddenly.“Of course I’m sure, Brother Tyson! This man paid me a lot of money. If not, I wouldn’t help him with the courage of a lion!”Harvey shot Frank a frosty glare.“You should know what happens next if you lie in front of me.”“I
Wails of horror echoed everywhere.Barry’s knees fell to the ground with a loud slam. He was shivering to no end.“I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything!”“The Surreys aren’t the ones supporting us! They aren’t powerful enough.”“The Yorks are behind all this. To be precise, it’s Wayne York!”“Him?”Harvey chuckled.He had been curious as to who dared targeting Mandy.He never would’ve imagined it would be Wayne.“Looks like I was a little too soft last time,” Harvey York said calmly.“Give him a call. Tell him that his life will be a living hell if he doesn’t show up in the next ten minutes.”Barry nodded constantly. Trembling in his boots, he quickly made a phone call.Before ten minutes had even passed, a wheelchair showed up at the scene.Wayne York was covered fully with bandages as he sat on his wheelchair. Yet, his aura could not be compared to any ordinary person.“Wayne,” Harvey began slowly, not deigning to turn his back and look at Wayne. “Do you remember what I
When Mandy did not utter a single word, Barry assumed she was still boiling with anger. He then swiftly asked, his tone somewhat hesitant, “If you’re still not content with all this, we can supply you all of the materials for free!”“Please accept our little token of appreciation!”Seeing Barry Waters’ attitude, the other suppliers all followed suit. One after another, they grovelled.They all knew full well what happened to Frank Costello because of this.Even one of the four masters of the Yorks, Wayne York, had to decapitate his own arm.If they didn’t give in now, they’d only be asking for their deaths!Mandy, for her part, thought that all of them had gone insane.A few days ago, they were threatening her. Out of the blue, they came to her and kneeled before her. Plus, they seemed like they wouldn’t get back up if she didn’t accept the materials.At that moment, Harvey walked out, eating a bun.Barry and his men shivered even harder when they saw Harvey. Cold sweat dren
Mandy was too soft a person. Eventually, she acquiesced and nodded in agreement.Barry and the others thanked her profusely and left soon after.Soon, someone from the construction site called.The materials were transported to the site, and the project that had been halted for a long while finally started up once again.Mandy had her doubts, but she was finally at ease.…At Sky Corporation.Harvey York was in the CEO’s chair, studying the two pictures in front of him.The first picture was as clear as day, showing silhouettes of Wayne and Stephen York. They were at the beach, looking as though they were waiting for somebody.On a closer look, Wayne York’s left hand was already severed. The photo must have been taken the same day Wayne shot his arm off. The second picture was a bit blurry. It looked like an airport, and there was a man that Harvey York did not recognize.He stared at the pictures for a long while, then calmly asked, “You’re saying that these pictures were
Stephen York smiled.“Dear cousin, since you’re here already, why don’t you take it easy for a few days? Some things can’t be rushed.”Chris Leo hesitated for a moment, then slowly replied, “Stephen, you know why I’m here.”“If we fail, you and I both would be in deep trouble.”“Of course.”Stephen York smiled again.“In that case, I’ll send someone to give the Xaviers an invitation.”“Good.”“I’ll arrange everything. You only need to show up.”Stephen York then chuckled.Chris Leo did not utter another word, and discreetly left the airport amid the cluster of the crowd.Though he was an extremely powerful figure, he also knew that if he failed his mission, he would not end up well.…Emerald Lake, Buckwood.The Xavier family’s residence.The Xaviers were not natives of Buckwood. They came from Wolsing.After Sheldon Xavier became South Light’s first-in-command, his family migrated here from Wolsing.But Sheldon Xavier had always been a discreet man, which was why the
Adam Xavier smiled when he saw Yvonne Xavier.“Yvonne, just in time! Everyone was talking about you, too.”“Finally, a young grown woman in the family!”“This has been the fifth time that a handsome young man proposed to you!”As he spoke, Adam took out a few photographs and set them on the tea table.“Come, come, come. Take a look! This is the prince of the Leo family, Chris Leo. This is the prince of the Surrey family, Luke Surrey. Here’s the prince of the Robbins family, Oscar Robbins. This one here is the prince of the Cloude family, Declan Cloude. And this here is Prince Finn Yates…”“All of them are handsome and capable young men. Whoever you pick, it’d be good for the family.”However, Yvonne didn’t even bat her eyes at the photos.Instead she headed to Sheldon and said quietly, “Grandfather, you should know that I won’t marry anyone.”Sheldon sighed. “How can I not understand how you feel? It’s just that, so many families came to propose. Even someone like me can’t rej
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
It was obvious everyone knew the kind of situation Yvonne was in, so none of them were in the mood to cook. Instead, they simply ordered some takeaway and tried to see what they could do about this as they had dinner."Sir, according to the clues we can cover, the one pushing and controlling this should be Linus. The data he had should be complete, but he knew we wouldn't publish the second half of the wedding, which was why they could do this without fear of reprisal," Ray said angrily."Also, all these people on the internet are so stupid. They started to spread rumors without knowing any truth… Damn them! Didn't they know they should let the bullets fly a little?"Tyson thought about that, and said, "Sir, give me the word and I'll be able to find all of them one by one. We'll make them pay for their mindless ramblings!"Harvey glared at him. "Do you think you're George? Find one for me, then. Not to mention, this isn't something that violence can solve.""But we can't let them
"Despite being one of the top ten families, they worked together with the Islanders to profit themselves. They allied themselves with our enemies and made the eldest of their daughters marry an Islander. The Xaviers, one of the most powerful families in Country H… Hmph. Just what kind of filth are they hiding under all the glamor?"Our people have been at the top of the world for so many years, but now, there are those that kneel to some Islanders? Disgraceful! Shameful!"After Linus had gone to the rest stop, several of the most famous message boards on the internet started to show some hot searches which included words like top ten families, collusion, Islanders, and words like that. These words are all very eye-catching, and since there are people intentionally pushing things along, a series of events very quickly occurred on the internet.First of all, someone summarized that the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families, were in a state of weakening. Then, someone pointed
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
