Queenie York chuckled lightly. She really liked Sam Baker’s attitude. He understood his gains and losses full well.People like this were usually capable and ambitious.And she liked using people like him the most.“I’m sure that you’ve heard of Sky Corporation, yes?” Queenie retracted her finger, smiling gently.Sam still didn’t dare to open her eyes. He said attentively, “I’ve heard of it. Their branch in San Francisco is planning to reintegrate assets in Gangnam, and they wanted to build a brand new shopping mall in the heart of San Francisco.”Queenie then replied, “I hope that their shopping mall will never be built, forever.”“Of course!”Sam Baker did not question her any further. His head was still bowed to the ground.Some time later, when the footsteps grew further away, he opened his eyes slowly. A dark expression was on his face.“A storm is coming to San Francisco, but this might be an opportunity for the Bakers. Sky Corporation…interesting.”Sam Baker muttered
Harvey did not care for Jimmy, and immediately started to flip through the pages of the contract.Slap!Jimmy’s lackeys walked up and slapped Harvey’s contract to the ground. They shouted fiercely, “Are you signing or not? If you don’t, you won’t be getting out of these doors alive!”Harvey chuckled.“Are you trying to force a buy here?”Jimmy smoked his cigar and calmly replied, “Brother, you can’t be spouting out nonsense whenever you want. I’m a real businessman. How could I force a deal on you? I just don’t really like playing around too much.”“Sign the contract already while I’m still in a good mood.”Harvey did not care about Jimmy.Ray picked up the contract and went through it swiftly. His expression immediately changed and he quietly whispered, “Sir York, this contract isn’t right.”“The price that we agreed on was seven hundred and fifty million dollars, but there was another zero added to this contract, it’s seven billion and five hundred million dollars now.”The
Jimmy replied innocently, “Everyone, this isn’t about me acknowledging the payment or not. I don’t even know what’s going on here!”“I didn’t even talk to you all about this yesterday, nor did I take your money!”“Why don’t you go find the man that took your so-called deposit instead?”The crowd was shocked after hearing this. Subconsciously, they turned to look behind Jimmy.The few people that they talked with weren’t there.The higher ups all looked at each other. Wendy Sorrell then put the receipts the day before on the table and exclaimed coldly, “CEO John, the receipt has your company’s signature and seal.”Jimmy clapped his forehead and said, “I remember now, there’s a bunch of scammers that showed up in San Francisco not too long ago.”“The seal looks exactly like ours, but it’s actually fake. I’m not the one who got your money.”“Should we help you report the incident to the authorities to look for them?”Jimmy seemed like he was being generous.Yet at his words, eve
“Scram!”“If you don’t, I’ll tear off your arms and legs!”“And you... You look pretty good, do you want to play with me and my boys here?”The fighters all looked extremely fierce.The higher ups from Sky Corporation showed horrible faces.They would usually go in and out of high-end venues, only meeting with decent people.It was their first time being in such a raggedy place like this, they were slightly affected by it.However, Harvey and Ray were indifferent about the situation.Harvey calmly said, “Jimmy John, last chance. Give us back the money.”Jimmy coldly chuckled.“You're still not leaving yet? You bastard. Do you really want your legs crippled before you do?”“Fine. Cripple this kid for me!”At that moment, a few fighters rushed toward Harvey. Ray, who was standing beside him, stepped out and kicked Jimmy in the chest.The next moment, Ray grabbed Jimmy’s hair and slammed him on the table. Ray then grabbed a pen nearby and fiercely stabbed Jimmy.Pffft!The
Harvey York slapped Jimmy’s head, then rubbed his hand against Jimmy’s body. He was filled with disdain.“Let me ask you, who was the one who made you change the price of this land and take my hundred and fifty million dollars?”Jimmy was gasping in pain, but he still grinded on his teeth and replied, “Nobody! It’s my own doing! It doesn’t involve anyone else!”“Actually, I already did this a few times before. I didn’t realize that I’d meet terrifying people like you this time around!”Harvey laughed, and then glanced at Wendy Sorrell.“You should go outside for now. What happens next is not suitable for children.”The higher ups all lost color in their faces. They all sprinted out of the room swiftly after hearing what Harvey said.When they left, Harvey chuckled and asked, “Ray, you didn’t forget about the things that I taught you on the battlefield before, right? Today’s the first test.”“Alright.”Ray was smiling. He rubbed Jimmy’s head, and gave a smile that would be cons
Looking at the smirk on Harvey York’s face, Jimmy John shivered right away.Although he had thirty-plus people on his side, he had a gut feeling.That if he didn’t know what’s the right thing to do at this moment, the other two men could crush this group of people down quickly.Till then, not only would he lose the 7.6 million, he wouldn’t be able to get even one dollar.In the end, Jimmy could only sign the agreement with his shivery hand, then transferred the 7.6 million back to the Sky Corporation right in front of everyone.***At the San Francisco branch office.Halsey Lowe got to know what happened and her admiration for her own CEO grew more.Initially, she thought to buy this piece of land would have to cost at least seventy million dollars. She was even mentally prepared that they would set a skyrocketing price.But she didn’t expect that 7.6 million dollars would be able to solve the issue with the land already, plus they were very cooperative that they completed the
The Bakers really held power in San Francisco.Right in front of Queenie York, by simply making a call, San Francisco’s Construction Company’s CEO already promised Sam Baker that he would sign the agreement and take the deposit. Still, he definitely wouldn’t commence the project. For sure, he wouldn’t start working till it’s delayed for eight or ten years.And by delaying for eight or ten years, then Sky Corporation’s layout in San Francisco and the whole of Gangnam would end unsuccessfully.After all, based on Halsey Lowe and Harvey York’s line of thinking, it’s best to complete the construction of the commercial center in half a year and finish all the preparation of integrating resources and spreading of branch offices.And Sam’s strategy would be as if destroying Harvey and Halsey’s original plan right away.“Miss, I wish to use the Bakers’ influence to issue a ban amongst the whole of Gangnam’s construction industry. That is, everyone is prohibited from cooperating with Sky C
The gangster in the lead laughed maliciously after hearing that. “Little slut, did you think we wouldn’t know about your call?“That brother-in-law of yours offended our Prince, and now he’s off in hiding after that!“If not because of that, he would have been long dead!“We only gave you the chance to call him to make him come back here. If not, do you think you’ll even get that chance?”As he spoke, the leader walked to Xynthia Zimmer’s side and grabbed a fistful of her hair to lift her head.“Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a young beauty we have here!“My brothers, it’s been a long time since everyone had some fun!”In the midst of his speech, the leader stood up to unbuckle his belt.Xynthia wasn’t a three-year-old kid anymore. How could she not know what he was about to do?“No, no!”At that moment, her initially stubborn face instantly turned pale white as she retreated backward frantically. At that moment, she’s not concerned with the floor full of mud anymore.“Ho, ho, ho… Only
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
