Slap, slap, slap!Larry was merciless. He ruthlessly swung his palm against Fred’s face, slapping the latter dozens of times. Every single swing was full of power. Each time Fred got hit, he unleashed a loud yowl of pain. Harvey watched everything with narrowed eyes, saying nothing. He was curious. Larry kept on slapping Fred as he spoke. “It’s not that big of a deal when people come and cause trouble here.”“The problem is that you’re too useless! Not only did you let people act wildly, you even let a bunch of nobodies waltz in here as they please! Do you think I won’t be embarrassed?!”Naturally, Larry was openly insulting someone else.Jay could not help but say out loud, “You…”Harvey waved his hand, signalling Jay to quiet. He wanted to see what else Larry could do.“And how many times have I already told you?! Stay away from that woman whenever possible!”“She’s just a vixen who sleeps with countless people! She can show off if she bumps into an ordinary person, but wh
“That’s right, Xynthia was hit. But she’s not even injured that badly. It’s all just flesh wounds, she doesn't even need to go to the hospital.”“Seth was quite ruthless, but his emotions were justified. He was only trying to seek justice for his wife.”“Besides, Stacy’s unconscious right now. It wouldn’t be right for you to use violence to solve the problems!”“As for the truth, I’ve already understood the entire situation. This is just an incident that neither of us wants to see.”“So, young man, I’ll show you some respect today.”“You’d have to let go so we could be on good terms in the future, no?”“Do you understand what I’m saying?”Larry still wasn’t able to figure out Harvey’s true identity, hence his show of courtesy rather than force.He wouldn’t mind paying a small price to mediate the affair if Harvey agreed to keep the peace. After all, the police force was involved. If things were to escalate, Hengdian World Studios’s stocks would be affected as well.Harvey re
Harvey knocked on the table with his right hand. He tilted his head slightly and said, “So…”“You’re saying you won't agree to my terms?”“And you’re saying that you won’t give me my justice?”Larry smiled.“Young man. In this day and age, peace brings money…”“That’s why I’m unable to agree with your so-called justice.”“Of course, you’re allowed to take action on your own and make me regret my decision if you still feel resentful.”“If you do that, I might even seek justice for you. You never know.”Disdain was written all over Larry’s face. To him, Harvey having connections with the police was quite impressive.Despite this capability, Larry felt that Harvey was still too young to suppress him.“How capable!”“Impressive!”Harvey nodded slightly.“It’s the first time someone has been this disrespectful in front of me since I came to Mordu.”“I hope you won’t kneel in front of me and beg for mercy tomorrow.”“It’d be boring if that were to happen!”“Now, move!”Harve
Larry did not care about Faye’s threats.Even though Faye had some capability, to Larry, she was just a social butterfly in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry.Why would he fear someone a mere wench was scared of?As for the response from the police force, he had already inquired about the reason why it happened.Benjamin Lynch, who only had a few days left to live, somehow got rid of his low spirits along with his sickness and had recently made a strong comeback in Mordu.As a member of the Lynch family, Jay’s status had once again risen up. Naturally, nobody would dare to touch him.Simply put, Harvey did not have a strong support, nor was he extremely strong. He was just lucky.With Benjamin’s rise, nobody within the police force would oppose Jay.After figuring out the situation, Larry’s expression became calm and peaceful again.He lit up another cigar and took a puff, then gave his orders to his subordinates.“Number one, find that man’s address. Tell Seth that he's the
“Mr. Chambers, something’s wrong! Mordu’s Security Management System sealed off the Hengdian World Studios today!”“They said that there are serious safety hazards in our studio that must be thoroughly investigated. Nobody’s allowed in for the time being.”“Also, Durin spent a lot of money buying off the internet-famous people that we lifted up recently!”“After the curtain event went public, Country J’s Star Chaebol requested to permanently cease our collaboration.”“Several well-known celebrities under our contract had their scandals publicized, too! I’m afraid they won’t be able to show up in public for the time being.”“In South Light, the banks working with us immediately froze all of our assets. They said that our studio is a huge debt risk, and that they will not unfreeze our assets for now!”“...”With just a single call, Larry’s expression changed over and over again.These were news that came from his subordinates, who were shocked by the unexpected turn of events.E
Prince Patel signalled Larry to sit and said calmly, “Just tell me if something happened. You know me, I don’t like beating around the bush.”Larry let out a long sigh before replying quietly, “Prince Patel, the reason I came here so suddenly is to ask for your help.”“I think… I might’ve offended a big character!”“Hengdian World Studios is in big trouble because of him. It might even go bankrupt…”“Big trouble?” Prince Patel asked, not giving a straight answer.“If I was beaten to death when I’m away from Mordu, of course you’ll be in trouble.”“But now that I’m here, who dares to go against you?”“I suspect this man might have connections with the Lynch family. However, I was too careless and offended him before running a background check on him.”Larry’s eyes were twitching profusely.“I sent someone to investigate, so it shouldn’t be long before his information is revealed.”Prince Patel remained calm. “There’s no need for that. If he isn’t from one of the top ten famili
Harvey turned around at the sound of angry yells. As he looked back, he heard the sounds of high heels clacking behind him.A plastic face appeared in his view.A tall, svelte woman with a body that had gone through heavy plastic surgery marched over with her companions. She pointed haughtily at Harvey.“Who are you?”“Who let you in here?”“Don’t you know that this is the Keaton Real Estates’ banquet?!”“This isn’t a place just about anyone can waltz into!”“Unless you have an invitation, get out of here right now!”The plastic-faced woman glared at Harvey, filled with disdain. Naturally, she assumed that Harvey was just a dirty hillbilly sneaking in the banquet for some food.“I’m giving you one minute. If you don’t get out of here right now, I’ll get someone to break your legs and throw you out!”She was one of the core members of Keaton Real Estates, and was considered to be quite the big shot. Hence, her arrogance. Harvey did not say anything. Instead, he scrolled thro
Abbie Xavier waved her hand coldly after saying this. Suddenly, a few bodyguards walked over respectfully.“Secretary Xavier, what’s the matter?”Abbie turned around and said coldly, “Drive this little devil out. Don’t let him be an eyesore here!”Abbie was about to leave after speaking.The female employees behind her also looked at Harvey York with pity.This guy certainly did not know where he stood. He was certainly being suicidal! Coming to this place and challenged Keaton Real Estates.Several bodyguards came over with truncheons, trying to escort him out.Harvey said indifferently, “Abbie, do you want an invitation letter?”“I have a few with me. Do you dare to read them?”Abbie turned around and said coldly, “Do you have an invitation letter? If you can produce it, then I’ll kneel!”“Then you should be kneeling!”Harvey stepped forward in the next second.Slap!A crisp slap struck Abbie’s face, and her whole body flew out. A red palm print appeared on her plastic f
"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
