‘The people in this country are all cowards?!’Everyone present trembled with anger when these words were said.This was especially true for Yoel and others. At that moment, their complexions morphed into something dreadful. Third Master Yates’s words were bland, but if Prince York didn’t show up to fight today, not only would he lose his reputation, but it would also disgrace the Great Country H.This could even affect the status of the Great Country H in the eyes of the international community.Some local families from Buckwood couldn’t help but rise up.“Prince York! Since you dared to provoke Third Master Yates, you have to fight today!”“That’s right! Otherwise, not only you’re disgracing yourself, but you’re also disgracing the Great Country H!”“How dare a person like you claim to be number one in all of South Light?! What a big joke!”Everyone was kicking up a storm, going against Prince York, who hadn’t shown up at all.They had all forgotten.This ring was set up
The crowd grew even noisier at Harvey’s words.“Harvey, you’re just a live-in son-in-law. Do you really think you’re the star? You have no say here!”“We’ll know after we fight? Who do you think you are?”Harvey ignored them. Instead, he shot Third Master Yates a mocking gaze.“This is a matter between Third Master Yates and I. You don’t have the right to speak here. Can’t you just shut up and watch the fun?” Harvey said indifferently.“Are you really that anxious to die?” Third Master Yates looked down at Harvey, his hands on his back.Harvey smiled. “I’m giving you a chance. If you fall by my hand, you won’t have to kneel or grovel to me and admit your mistakes.”“Gasp…!”The onlookers gasped after listening to Harvey.This live-in son-in-law certainly didn’t know where he stood. He was actually mocking Third Master Yates in front of so many people!Didn’t he know that Third Master Yates could kill him with just a single slap?Most importantly, with his level of skills, ho
In the outskirts of Buckwood.In a warehouse, full of waste… Mandy and her secretary were tied up in a corner.Halfway to Regency Enterprise this morning, they were stopped. They were still clueless as to what was going on.The men Tyson had arranged to protect them were quietly taken care of. Thus, even Tyson had yet to receive word of what had happened.Outside the warehouse, a blond man sat. A cold aura radiated from him; he looked like a veteran soldier who had been on the battlefield.He sipped some vodka, occasionally turning to look at Mandy and her secretary."These two ladies aren’t bad. It’s a shame I can’t touch them now. Otherwise, it’d be so much fun!” He lamented.Butler Yates was his superior. Before that man, he dared not mess around.When Mandy heard his words, she was relieved.She didn’t know what was happening, but there was still hope as long as these men didn’t touch her or her secretary.Meanwhile, a few more blond men entered from the door.They sta
Gradually, time passed within Buckwood Gymnasium.Soon enough, ten minutes had gone by. By now, Third Master Yates was already standing inside the dueling ring.Just as Harvey was about to step in, his phone buzzed with a notification.Harvey pulled out his phone without much thought, and was greeted with a picture. In it was Mandy and her secretary, bound and gagged inside a dirty room.Instantly, Harvey’s face darkened into a wretched expression. Murderous intent seeped out of his entire being. The nonchalant and high-and-mighty Third Master Yates suddenly found the air around him turning cold, and an involuntary chill struck him. Butler Yates approached Harvey with a meaningful grin. “Harvey York, I hope you can give your best against my master. Do show us the Country H’s fighting spirit.”With that said, he spun on his heels and left. Harvey’s eyes twitched slightly.This was a clear and blatant threat.As soon as the picture reached Harvey, Butler Yates had immedi
His strike was as light as a feather.His fist landed on Harvey at a ridiculously slow speed.The power…Alright, fine. There wasn’t much power in it, either.Third Master Yates was far from a veteran fighter. In fact, he was a nobody who couldn’t even put on a convincing pretense! But as Harvey thought of Mandy’s ill predicament, he forced himself to sway light and then retreated three steps behind. The sight of it sent the crowd into an uproar. In truth, none of them understood what they were witnessing. “There it is! There it is!”“That’s Third Master Yates’ first move in the Art of Conversion! Take that!”“If this live-in son-in-law can’t even handle the first move, how could he possibly be an opponent for Third Master Yates?”“This oblivious fool’s now getting a taste of Third Master Yates’ greatness! That’ll teach him not to be so arrogant!”“To think he’s representing Country H in this fight. If news of this spreads, it’ll be the biggest joke ever! This is just too
Several people began to jeer at Harvey, intending to force him out once and for all.Of course, the men under Morgan Financial Group were leading the charge.Disrespecting Harvey was the equivalent to disrespecting Prince York himself, thus, they were extremely willing in their actions. “I’m giving you one last chance, Harvey! Kneel and beg for mercy. Admit your mistakes.”Third Master Yates wore a frosty stare. This was the ending he desired. To think just a few days ago, this arrogant live-in son-in-law actually dared to threaten the Yates of America, demanding them to kneel and beg for mercy at his home!Third Master Yates wanted this filth to kneel right before the many people present.“Third Master Yates, we’re not finished here.”With that said, Harvey turned and made his way out of the place.Yvonne and Ray exchanged glances before running after him.Moments after, loud laughter rang from inside the gymnasium.In the crowd’s eyes, Sky Corporation had failed to ach
As for why they went for Mandy, their reasoning was simple enough to understand.Buckwood’s Yateses had always been of the opinion that she was Prince York’s secret lover.In the end, the one who turned up to fight in the ring was Harvey.Butler Yates using Mandy to threaten Harvey was reasonable.If the Yateses of America truly did so for a mere victory in the ring, then they would’ve released Mandy by now. The fact that Mandy had yet to show up was proof that things weren’t so simple.“CEO, what’s going on? Who’s the one behind all this?”Tyson wore a distressed expression.All of the streets of South Light were under his control, and yet the perpetrator was still able to snatch Mandy away. Safe to say, the man behind all this was extremely powerful.“It’s probably the Yateses of America. They usually don’t leave any traces behind. The people who did this are playing it off as if they’re not connected to that family, at least in public.”“Tell your men to gather more infor
“Mandy, do you really think your live-in husband will give up that much of cash for a loose woman like you?” Zack snarled, casting Mandy a sidelong glance.Mandy frowned and shot him a livid glare. Bandages wrapped most of his body, covering his face and shielding his expression. But when he talked to Harvey earlier, Mandy saw through him.She hissed, “There’s no way you’re getting the money, Zack.”The once prideful Zack swayed the second Mandy called out his name. He instantly stoody up in anger.“No need to panic, I already guessed who you really are. Even if you refuse to admit it, what’s the point?”“Did you think Harvey couldn’t guess who you are as well?”“Zack Zimmer, you’re overconfident!”Zack’s expression fluctuated between different states. Finally, with a deep breath, he removed the bandages off of his face. Scar upon scar crisscrossed the skin of his face. Yet, his grin remained visible. He approached Mandy and spoke with a cold hiss. “So what if you’ve figur
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
