The door of the Audi A6 opened. A figure in a Mandarin suit was sitting in the rear seat and looking at Dawson Surrey casually.This person was Reign Jackson, the second-in-command of Buckwood!Reign was the one in charge of the education system and the health system in Buckwood.Simply put, he was Tim Zepeda’s immediate superior.At this moment, Dawson invited him to crush Tim to death.Although Dawson was known as Sir Surrey, he would never act arrogant and overbearing in Reign Jackson’s presence.He bowed at this moment and said, “Sir Jackson, sorry for inviting you here out of the blue. This is mainly because there’s a minor incident in Buckwood High School!“Some people are counting on the support of Tim Zepeda, who was from the Buckwood education system and acted recklessly there as we speak!“The main reason for inviting you this day is for a show!“Actually, you don’t need to show up at all. We could just mention your name to make Tim and others kneel and beg for mercy
Reign Jackson only smiled and said after seeing everyone had arrived, “We’re running out of time here. Let’s go. I still need to go back and attend a meeting after settling this matter. I have to discuss whether who will be taking over the position of the first and second-in-command of the Buckwood education system!”Although he had not met Tim Zepeda and others face to face, he had already decided to sack them.“Yes, Sir Jackson, please!”Dawson Surrey’s face was full of smiles. Soon, he drove his car out, and the group of people darted toward Buckwood High School.***At the school gate, many people gasped when they saw a line of Audi A6 coming in.What the hell was going on?“I heard that the second-in-command of Buckwood, Reign Jackson, and the chief inspector of Buckwood Police Station are here!”“Sir Surrey is here too!”“Oh my gosh! Indeed, you can provoke anyone at Buckwood High School, but not our princess, Yelena Surrey!”“It’s terrifying! Although these people just
At this moment, Tim Zepeda and Yaron Quick exchanged glances and saw the shock in their eyes.Although they had always known that a first-class family like the Surrey family had tremendous power, they never expected that the Surrey family would invite so many big shots just for a trivial matter.This was really indescribable.Stevie Surrey and Yelena Surrey laughed when they saw the expressions on Tim and others’ faces.The headmaster and the school’s board of directors who had just resigned also laughed.Indeed!Tim and Yaron, whose imposing manner was astonishing just now, were now all gone while facing Reign Jackson and the others at this moment.It was as if a mouse is confronting a cat.This was because Reign was Tim and Yaron’s immediate superior.They were nothing in front of Reign, regardless of how awesome they were in front of other people!However, Harvey looked indifferent when he saw Reign and the others as if they were just some ordinary people from the streets.
At this moment, Reign Jackson stepped forward and said coldly, “Tim Zepeda, Yaron Quick, have you forgotten what I normally taught you?“How many times have I said that you shouldn’t act recklessly outside using your identity?!“Now, I’ll give you a chance. I won’t hold you accountable as long as you admit your mistake and leave here!“Otherwise, what are the consequences? You should know them better than me!”Reign’s voice was indifferent, but it was equivalent to thunder striking on the ground, shaking the entire auditorium.“Old Zepeda, we’re both colleagues. We’re just students in front of Sir Jackson.“You should have known what to choose at this time. I don’t have to teach you, right?”Marvin said with a smile.Apparently, in their opinion, they could surely make Tim and Yaron turn against each other with just one sentence.Everyone was a member of the government. They were certainly aware of everyone’s ability and prowess.In truth, Reign and Marvin felt that today’s m
“Sigh, wronging a person of his goodwill I see.”Tim Zepeda and Yaron Quick both sighed as if Reign Jackson had missed an opportunity.The sight had halted all laughter from Marvin Brown and the others. They were all perplexed.‘Are Tim Zepeda and Yaron Quick brain-dead? Or do they actually have some sort of trump card?’“Prince Jackson, Mr. York’s identity is one that you all have to bow to!” Tim Zepeda said earnestly.But waves of laughter continued soon after.Yelena Surrey immediately exclaimed, “Don’t be fooled, Grandfather Jackson. This man is just a live-in son-in-law!”Everyone was speechless after hearing Yelena Surrey’s claims.‘Since when did anyone have to bow to a live-in son-in-law?’On the other hand, the calm and collected Dawson Surrey was inspecting Harvey York closely.‘This man had been extremely nonchalant. He must’ve met some sort of nobility…‘But so what?‘A mere live-in son-in-law can only have a social circle with the status as high as him. What ki
Harvey York did not bat an eye toward Stevie Surrey. In his eyes, he would just be wasting his time if he spoke with a collateral relative of the Surreys.He then shifted his gaze toward Dawson Surrey and said calmly, “Sir Surrey, everyone keeps saying that you’re the best in the second generation of Surreys and that you might even have a chance to take the throne of Prince Surrey.“But have you even thought of what would happen to your throne if I were to end you right now?”Dawson’s facial expressions slightly changed after hearing his words.The Surreys’ inside information could not be known by any ordinary man.But the live-in son-in-law in front of him talked about it as if it were his family’s secrets.Something was wrong!Terribly wrong!And the man was clearly not foolish if he was speaking about this matter freely at this moment.If so, he should know that the Surreys could not be suppressed with only Tim Zepeda and Yaron Quick’s powers.If that were the case, why wa
Harvey York smiled.“So, do you mean that you have no intention of apologizing whatsoever?”“Of course not! Not in a lifetime! Don’t even think about it!”Harvey then stared calmly at Dawson Surrey and said, “It’s the fault of the father that the child was not taught properly. I guess I can accept the apology if you kneel and apologize.”The once calm and collected Dawson was then boiling with anger after listening to those words.He was titled Sir Surrey; his status in the family was extremely high, outsiders would need to be respectful toward him wherever he went.Even if the live-in son-in-law in front of him had a bit of status, why would he ever kneel in front of him?He then replied with a tone as cold as ice, “What right does a live-in son-in-law like you have to make me kneel?“And apologize to the little bastard over here?!”“Right right right! We’ll never apologize to her!”“The bastard is to blame for everything that happened to her!”“She thinks that she can just
Dawson Surrey was a bit excited after hearing Reign Jackson’s words.The patriarch of the Surreys, James Surrey, has connections far and wide. Maybe he had asked for a more prominent character for such a trivial thing this time?Stevie Surrey and Yelena Surrey were quite exhilarated as well.The bigger the character, the higher their pride.If the person could easily crush Harvey York and Xynthia Zimmer’s dignity, they would be even happier.Soon, a group of people walked inside.The people were all government officials; they were clad in white shirts.A middle-aged man with a square face was leading the group, but his aura did not seem normal. Ordinary people would not even have the courage to look at him.His spirit was through the roof!Buckwood’s first-in-command, Yoel Graham!Reign and the others’ expressions slightly changed soon after they recognized the man’s identity!Yoel Graham was walking with the utmost haste, and his usual calm temper was nowhere in sight.“Pr
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
