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
Yoel Graham no longer paid attention to Marvin Brown. His gaze shifted toward Reign Jackson with an expression as cold as ice.In general, both of them usually do not see eye to eye because of different political views.And now that Reign had provoked Harvey York, Yoel was filled full with glee.Under the gaze of the shocked crowd, Yoel then walked up toward Reign and gave him a slap across his face as well.“How did the government of Buckwood breed filth like you?! Are you planning to drag the government down with you because of your stupidity?!”Pow pow pow!Yoel immediately started to punch and kick the man, without a hint of decorum left in him.Yoel only stopped pummeling the man after a long while. His expressions were horrifying.Reign’s face was terribly swollen, but he would not dare to say anything at that moment.He had immense experience as a government official, and he understood the situation the moment Yoel took action.This live-in son-in-law was not a man to
Even though Yoel Graham was the first-in-command of Buckwood, cold sweats were still dripping down his back.He swiftly bowed in front of Harvey York and said, “It’s my fault! It’s all my fault!“It’s due to my incompetence that my men are disobedient. I didn’t teach them properly!“It’s my biggest mistake to let these people provoke you, Mr. York!“I am truly sorry, Mr. York. I’ll take whatever punishment that you’re planning for me!”“What?!”The crowd gasped after seeing the sight.Everyone thought that Yoel was Harvey’s backbone.But they did not think that he would have to be respectful toward Harvey and bow while he apologized. He would not dare to refute Harvey’s decisions.Dawson Surrey was dumbfounded!Reign Jackson was shocked!Marvin Brown was awestruck!Yelena Surrey was astonished!Everyone was dumbstruck!Nobody had speculated this was happening and that Harvey’s status was actually higher than what they could ever imagine!Fear was reflected in Dawson’s ey
Thud!Stevie Surrey could not bear the shock. His legs had already given up on him.Thud!Thud!Thud!The principal, along with the board of directors, followed suit, their faces showing full of despair.Because of their names being blacklisted in the education sector of Buckwood, this meant that their careers in academia were completely finished for their whole lives.They had never thought that they would end up like this.“As for you, you, you! And you!“Not only did you not study well as students, you even spread rumors around the school and humiliated a fellow student!“I have to record this terrible demerit. You are all suspended for a whole month!”After hearing Tim Zepeda’s words, Yelena Surrey and her followers all fell down, sitting on the ground. Their faces devoid of color at that moment.Even though they weren’t expelled, they had a terrible demerit recorded along with a month of suspension. How could they possibly break the news to their families when they go
“No!”Harvey York chuckled coldly.“You people had always been arrogant and bossy, thinking that the world only revolves around you!“In your eyes, the others are but your humble servants. If they were to disobey you, they should just die!“You people cannot be forgiven!“Dawson Surrey, you should head back to the Surreys and tell them. If you can’t give me a statement, I’ll finish off the Surreys myself in ten days!“Now, get out!”Soon after, Dawson and Yelena Surrey both ran away with their tails between their legs.They never would’ve thought that this trivial thing would make the Surreys bear such responsibility.They had to hurry back home to report the situation. If not, the Surreys would be finished!***On the podium.Tim Zepeda was utterly shocked while watching the scene unfold. Harvey York was indeed a man not to be trifled with.Thankfully, he had stood on the right side. If not, his position would not be his for long.Tim Zepeda walked up to Harvey and bowed
“Of course! Mr. Harvey York, rest assured. I will not let you down!”Tim Zepeda was exhilarated at that moment.He never would’ve thought that the second peak of his life would transpire this way.***When things were settled, Xynthia Zimmer also went back to class at ease. With a splendid teacher like Ms. Yuna around, Harvey too was at ease.When Harvey was about to get in his car, getting ready to leave, hasty high heeled footsteps started echoing toward him.When he tilted his head up to see who it was, Ms. Yuna’s peach-eyes were already focusing on him; even though it was just a normal gaze, there was still a hint of exoticism.“Something up?” Harvey asked.Ms. Yuna walked forward and quietly replied, “Ms. York, I can’t thank you enough for what happened today. If it weren’t for you, Xynthia would’ve taken the blame for something she never did.”Harvey smiled.“Xynthia is a part of my family, and I should be the one thanking you.“I’m only here today by chance. It was ju
Blade took a deep breath. He remembered his own duty and stood in front of Clarion, shielding him. Then, he said with a cold expression on his face, "Madam, Mr. Zeon, my apologies. However, as I'm currently the Assistant Hallmaster and Clarion is my superior, it's my duty to protect him. May I ask how he offended the two of you to the point that he pressed the red button?"Blade put on the face of someone who was only doing his job. He was loyal to his duties.Clarion's expression changed. He did not realize that Blade was a Jackson. However, since Blade chose duty over his personal ties, it was enough to calm Clarion down.Whoosh!At the moment when everything was at a standstill, Zeon suddenly stepped forward and appeared right before the crowd. He immediately slapped Blade's face.Slap!He slapped Blade so hard and loud that Blade stumbled backward as he was not on his guard and almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Clarion reacted quickly and helped Blade up. Otherwise, Blade wo
"I'll give you one last chance to answer me. If you refuse, it won't be my fault for not showing you any mercy." Camellia's pretty face became colder as she stared at Clarion before waving her right hand.After what she did, she saw all the security from Platinum Casino stepped forward, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.Clarion smiled. "Looks like not only have you captured him, it doesn't sound like you're going to release him at all. Looks like I mean nothing to you madam!"Camellia sat down back on the sofa as she folded her legs once more. She raised her chin as she looked at Clarion, coldly saying, "You're right. You mean nothing to me. What? Are you going to go mad? Do it, then! Show it to me! I'm curious to see just what our Young Master Clarion Parker can do to make a scene!"Clarion took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Don't blame me for this, then!"After that, Clarion's right hand pulled out a small red button and pressed it.Vroom!As soon as he di
"All your casino shares?" Camellia stroked her chin as she gave Clarion a meaningful smile. "If I remember, they all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the interest you gain annually is also quite substantial. Without that, your worth as the heir of Parkerville will drop significantly."Looks like Hale probably saved your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have paid such a price for a garbage like him," Camellia's eyes were judgmental when she said those words. She stared at Clarion curiously, wanting to see something from his actions and expressions.Unfortunately, Clarion maintained his cool and indifference."Madam, it'll take a long time to talk about the relationship between us. Hence, there's no need for me to explain everything here. All I want to ask is, will you accept this trade?"Camellia once again walked over to Clarion's side and bent closer, whispering in his ears. "Of course I'm willing, since you're offering me so much. Unfortunately, since I don't have Hale
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
