A crisp sound rang in the air as Edwin took the slap right on the face.A red palm print appeared on his cheek, gleaming viciously. The wretched sight was a humiliating one, indeed.“Kaitlyn!” Edwin growled, having lost all his patience.The moment his voice came out, the Parson family’s bodyguards charged forward.They pointed their firearms at Edwin’s head.If Edwin were to make any sudden moves, they wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger.Harvey and Leslie exited the crowd as well.“You think you can just call my name as you please?”“You think you have the right for that?” Kaitlyn demanded, her tone disdainful.“The Mendoza family is just a first-rated family! You think you’re some hotshot here just because your sister has control over the Dragon Palace’s branch, don’t you?”“Did you forget that you only got this far thanks to the Hamilton family?”“You cling onto the Hamilton family, then you get close to Harvey…”“Does your family even have dignity?”“Let me tell you
Edwin’s eyes were twitching as he looked at Kaitlyn’s smug face. His right hand was trembling, but in the end, he never swung it.Or rather, he forced himself back with all his might.Slap!When Kaitlyn saw that Edwin was remaining still, she slapped him on the other side of his face.“Filth! You’re all bark and no show! You look impressive, but you can’t even do anything!”“You won’t even fight back after getting hit by a woman!”“Do you have no shame?!”“Do you?!”Edwin was completely humiliated by Kaitlyn.‘Even when he’s one of the young masters of Las Vegas, he wouldn’t even fight back against me!’‘How useless can he be?!’‘At this point, he should just die!’Edwin covered his face, blood beginning to seep out of his lips. He looked utterly miserable, presenting an extremely horrible sight.The people watching burst out laughing and clinked their glasses in amusement as they delighted in the show. Some were even filming the entire thing with their phones.A young ma
“Besides, that’s the Johnson family’s share. Not yours! You don’t even have the right to decide for them!”“Or are you saying that your master’s already too scared to come at us? Is that why he’s okay with such humiliating terms?”Kaitlyn glared coldly at Edwin. Clearly, she wanted to see how he would react so she could proceed with her plan accordingly.Yet, Edwin remained composed.“Enough nonsense, Ms. Parson. I’ll ask you again: are you willing to accept the conditions or not?”Kaitlyn got closer and sized up Edwin, before approaching him to whisper in his ear.“Of course I’m willing to accept such good terms. But what a shame! I didn’t take Ms. Johnson away!”“Even if I did… Since your master’s making such great efforts to save her, wouldn’t it be more fun if I just keep her here and watch the Johnson family part ways with him?”“Your master thinks he can cause such a big commotion in Hong Kong and Las Vegas just because he’s a little smart and talented?”“He’s being naiv
“So what if I am?”“So what if I want to disrespect you?”Kaitlyn strode back to her couch calmly before sinking in it, crossing her legs haughtily.A faint smile hung on her lips as she looked at Edwin with a glare filled with contempt. “Are you about to lash out after trying so hard to swallow all that humiliation?”“Or are you going to hit me now?”“Go on! Try it!”“I’d love to see how you’ll do it!”“You…”Edwin was about to take a step forward when orderly footsteps could be heard from behind.Several uniformed people, armed to the teeth, surrounded the entire courtyard.Yoana, who was dressed in the same uniform, emerged out of the crowd with grand steps.“You dare touch someone from my family, Kaitlyn? Have you asked yourself this?”“Can you bear the consequences for doing such a thing?!”Yoana’s expression worsened when she got a glimpse of her brother’s swollen face and tattered clothes.“Oh mt! Isn’t this the lady of the Mendoza family, Helm Yoana Mendoza hers
Yoana’s pretty face became ice-cold, and her deadly frown could freeze ice. Louis’s slap had crossed her line.She represented Hong Kong and Las Vegas’ Dragon Palace branch, as well as Harvey’s interests.She would never allow herself to be slapped in the face that easily.In retaliation, she whipped out her elegant firearm.“You really think my title as helm is just for show, Louis?” she exclaimed, her voice an icy hiss.“Do you think I won’t kill you?”At her behest, her subordinates leaned forward with the safeties of their firearms off and aimed right at Louis.However, this deterrence was clearly useless against Louis. He glanced at Yoana, fearless, and snarled, “You barged in Emerald Club and challenged Kaitlyn’s authority! Of course you need a slap in the face!”“Let me tell you something, Yoana…”“Your title might be able to scare most people, but it can’t scare me! You think you have the right to stand up for your brother?!”“Dream on!”“Looks like you’re ready to g
“Hahahaha!”“Filth will always be filth!”“You’re all just trash!”“Look at yourselves!”Louis kept laughing maniacally as he gloated at Edwin and the others’ sorry state.“You people dare to show off in front of me?!”“You’re the ones bringing justice?!”“Hah! I haven’t even thrown my babies out yet, but you’re all already this terrified!”“If I really did it, you would’ve all burst into tears by now!”“All of you are really useless!”“The Mendoza family? The Clarke family?”“Stop joking around!”“You only got your statuses because nobody’s there to steal your spot!”“You think you’re so awesome to the point you’re on par with people like us?!”“Are you even worthy?!”Louis tapped Edwin on the face, arrogance seeping from his every pore. Helena and other beautiful women covered their mouths and giggled snidely.After tonight, both the Clarke and the Mendoza family would turn into Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s biggest jokes.Edwin shot a deadly glare at Louis. If only th
“Number two: if you don’t want to die, kneel and give yourself ten slaps in the face. Apologize as you should, and only then I’ll let you off the hook.”“Choose how you want to play. I’ll stick with you till the end. How’s that sound?”Harvey’s tone was very casual, as if he had Louis by the neck.Louis’s eyes frantically twitched before he released his murderous intent.“Who the hell are you?!”He wanted to send Harvey flying with a kick, but he realized that Harvey had his hand clasped like a handcuff.If Harvey used a little more force, the grenade in his hand would fall to the ground. If that were to happen, everyone would be dragged down and die together.Thus, Louis didn’t dare do anything rash.“It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important here is your choice.”Harvey exerted slightly more force as he went on speaking nonchalantly.“If you really can’t choose, I’ll do it for you.”A loud crack could be heard from Louis’s hand after Harvey exerted more strength into hi
Louis’s expression changed constantly, his arrogance long gone.This was utterly humiliating for him.He had roamed the Dark Island and was well-known for being fearless.Yet, at this moment, he was completely suppressed by another person.The man turned out to be a lot more ruthless than him. The grenade would explode at any second, and people were really going to die.Louis thought that he didn’t fear death, and that he could scare everyone off with this fact.But today, the man that showed up out of nowhere made him realize the fear in his heart.His arrogant and domineering attitude was built upon his lack of fear toward death.But after having no control over the entire situation, after realizing that there was a chance he would perish in someone else’s hand…Just like everyone else, he would instantly give up without breaking a sweat!This realization twisted Louis’s face into a horrible expression of fear.“You’ve got guts, kid! Are you one of Mendoza’s men?! State yo
"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
