As expected from Halsey who had just returned from studying overseas, to have an impressive mouth on her. If it were any other person, they would be talked down by her to the point of utter embarrassment.But Harvey, who was already used to such words, did not feel a thing.Harvey glanced at Halsey through the rear-view mirror and asked full of curiosity, “What if I like being kept?”“Then I’ll finish you off myself,” Halsey coldly replied.Harvey shrugged.“Miss, are you studying the art of killing from abroad? Is killing me the first thing that you thought of? This is a federalist society!”“No need to smooth talk me. Soon, I’ll get you a big heap of money to leave Mandy alone.”“Rest assured, the money should be enough to last until you die happy!”“If you’re willing to leave Mandy, we can talk about the price.” Halsey continued icily.Harvey was speechless.“Miss, why do you keep talking about my and Mandy’s divorce? Can’t you be a bit more peaceful and friendly?”“The
The car swiftly drove down the streets of San Francisco in silence. The two soon reached the shopping center and stopped at the building of Sky Corporation’s San Francisco branch.The place that Halsey wanted to go was none other than this place.“I’ll leave my luggage with you for now, I’ll contact you again at night.”“Another thing. Hurry up and return the car already. The fees for today will be on me.”As she spoke, she threw a stack of money from her purse to Harvey.To her, the Bentley was rented by Harvey. Since that was the case, she would pay for him.She also generously gave a little more than the rent for Harvey’s hard work.It was safe to say that despite being prideful and fierce, Halsey still had some compassion left in her.Unfortunately, she was also treating Harvey like a servant.Out of respect for her admiration for Prince York, Harvey decided to be the better man and let her be.At that moment, Ray Hart gave a call.“Sir York, have you arrived at the San
They had to admit that Halsey Lowe was indeed very capable.Even though Harvey’s questions, which Ray asked, were really insightful, Halsey managed to answer them one by one.It was safe to say that she came prepared.Before she came here, she already decided that she wanted to be the general manager of the San Francisco branch.When the interview ended, Harvey knocked on the desk and immediately called Ray’s phone.“Tell her she’s been accepted.”Ray froze, but he soon replied, “Of course!”He did not have a stance of his own in front of Harvey. He only served Harvey.After putting the phone down, Ray flashed Halsey a smile.“Congratulations, Miss Lowe. I’ve just received a call from my CEO.”“He said that you’re very suitable for the position of general manager in our San Francisco branch. You can handle some of the procedures for today, and you’ll be able to oversee the businesses of the entire corporation from tomorrow onward.”“I hope we’ll get along together.”“What?!
Harvey was now certain of Halsey’s personality.He was indifferent at that moment, so he casually threw the money into the car’s armrest box.Halsey could not help but show a hint of disdain in her eyes after seeing that.She thought that she had judged Harvey correctly.She thought that the filth felt like he could get more money from her, which was why he was being attentive while having no other reason to do so!How could a man like this possibly be a good fit for Mandy Zimmer?Harvey did not forget to playfully tease Halsey and asked, “Are you here for business? Is it going smoothly? Don’t forget about me when you get rich!”Halsey rolled her eyes after hearing his nonchalant question.“Do you know what this place is?”“Isn’t it written on the building? It’s the San Francisco branch of Sky Corporation,” Harvey replied.“It’s a good thing that you know, because you should. After integrating all of the Yorks’ assets, this company is now the top corporation in all of South L
Halsey gave up on eating in the end. She only ordered a cup of coffee and started to sip on it.“You’re already full?”Harvey was curious.Halsey nodded, her face dark.She saw Harvey grabbing all the food in front of him and munching rudely on them.When Harvey was about done eating, Halsey then said icily, “Harvey, our ancestors have a saying: table manners meets character.”“I don’t even need to see your other behaviors to know that you’re a selfish person, and that you have absolutely no shame!”“If I guessed correctly, Mandy’s also paying for the rent of the house you two are living in, right?”Naturally, Halsey knew about the situation of Mandy living in The Gardens Residence.Harvey nodded.“Yeah. She’s paying for property tax, too!”“You! How shameless can a man like you even get?! How are you even fit for Mandy?!”Halsey was now shaking in anger.“Then what kind of man do you think is a fit for her?” Harvey asked.Halsey gave a humph when Harvey asked her that vi
After a brief moment of pondering, Harvey ultimately decided to stop Halsey’s way of thinking.He then seriously said, “Halsey, from what I know, Prince York isn’t that kind of playboy. It won’t work even if you get closer to him.”“Besides, he already has someone that he likes.”“Since you have a job already, do it properly.”“Stop thinking nonsense.”Halsey almost spat out her coffee after hearing Harvey saying all that with such a serious look.‘Does this man not understand the situation?’‘Not only is he useless, he even spits at other people’s good fortune!’Without a second thought, Halsey furiously replied, “The relationship between Prince York and I is none of your business!”Harvey sighed.“Halsey, do you really want me to say it bluntly?”“I’m not into you.”Pfffft!Halsey almost coughed out blood at that. She ground her teeth, shivering in anger.“Are you saying you’re the head coach and Prince York himself?”“Both,” Harvey said seriously.“You!”Halsey did
On the other side of the phone, Mandy was silent for a moment before declining Halsey’s offer.“Halsey, I know you’re doing this for my own good. But I’m already married to Harvey for more than three years. I’m already attached to him, so I don’t want a divorce.”“You…”Halsey did not know what to say at that moment. Her good friend must have been brainwashed by Harvey, right?If that was the case, Halsey needed to think of ideas that involved Harvey and incite him into asking for a divorce.Halsey could only gnash on her teeth. She marched back into the restaurant to look for Harvey.However, he had already left.…University of San Francisco.One of the ten most known universities in the country. Rumors said that the school spirit there was excellent. The university students were all public figures from Mordu and San Francisco.Harvey did not see anything special about the university while taking a stroll inside. He felt the place lacked in people and instead had a lot of m
“You…”“How shameless!”Halsey almost bit through her tongue. She couldn’t believe that a shameless man like this existed!And to think he actually had such thoughts about his wife’s good friend!Men like this shouldn’t exist!Harvey then calmly added, “See, you can’t even fulfil a simple condition like that. I don’t think we need to talk about it further.”Harvey wasn’t teasing Halsey. Instead, he wanted to see how close of a relationship she shared with Mandy.Halsey’s face had lost all color after hearing his words. She gnashed her teeth. “Fine! I’ll allow it!”“But you have to promise me that you’ll divorce Mandy right after, and you’re not allowed to harass her!”“And, you have to pretend like nothing ever happened between us!”“I’ll give you another hundred and fifty million dollars as compensation!”Halsey spoke in the manner of a fierce CEO.Harvey froze after listening to her exclaiming such words with an unyielding expression.The woman’s relationship with Mand
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
