Scarlett only saw Harvey as a useless kept man.Thus, she thought that she had a chance to make a comeback if she could break up Harvey and Yoana.Harvey chuckled, amused.“You can’t possibly think there’s a point to agitate me with those words, right?” he asked coolly.“If I wanted you dead, you would’ve been dead by now. Why would I keep you waiting?”“What the hell do you want?!”Scarlett’s expression changed slightly.“Simple. Tell me who ordered you to kill me. I’ll need to have a word with whoever that is.”Harvey smiled.“I know that it’s most likely that idiot Vince…”“But if you want to let the Five Virtues Temple take the blame, I don’t have any objections either.”“After all, I’ve been thinking about visiting them for a long time now.”Harvey appeared calm and casual. Scarlett’s expression changed immediately.“You’re trying to hurt Vince?!”Harvey laughed again.“What’s with that surprise? He’s been sending so many people after me. It’s only natural I get
When Yoana arrived with her subordinates at the hotel, the place was already cleaned up. Even the blood between the floor tiles was long gone.Air fresheners had been mixed in the air along with the scent of sunlight, covering up quite a bit of murderous intent and the blood that had seeped in the air.In the garden, a long table filled with pastries stood in front of Harvey. The smell alone was refreshing and hunger-inducing.Harvey had no appetite for food, but he was calmly sipping his black tea.He gestured to Yoana to sit down after seeing her arrival.Harvey met quite a lot of women in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas. Zina, Leslie, Irene, and many others…But out of every single one of them, only Yoana could be considered to be his most trusted comrade.Yoana was very decisive in her actions. Harvey admired that fact.It was also why only people of the Dragon Palace’s branch showed up to help.Harvey believed Yoana would be able to deal with the situation properly, without
”We’re done with Mitchell, but regarding Scarlett…”Yoana knew Harvey had a way to fix this, but she still had to say it.“Everyone knows Vince is involved in this,” Harvey said calmly.“But there’s no point looking for him with this corpse.”“Judging from what we know about him, he’s definitely a shallow man who says whatever that benefits him. He won’t confess.”“He might even turn around and frame all of us while he’s at it. There’ll be bigger trouble if that happens.”“So, you mean…”Yoana frowned while her eyes frantically twitched.She had figured out what Harvey wanted to do, but the knowledge left her shocked.Harvey flicked a USB from his hand onto Scarlett’s corpse. “Even though the surveillance systems are completely destroyed, one of ours happened to take a video proving that Scarlett killed herself.”“We’ll send the corpse right to the Five Virtues Temple and upload the video.”“I think they’ll give us a fair statement soon enough.”Harvey appeared calm, but Yo
“Why should we get close, and not the other way around?” Harvey said, still calm.“Help me send an invitation to her, saying that the prince of South Light is asking Lady Judd out for a meal.”Yoana froze slightly at Harvey’s look of determination.She couldn’t help but frown.“I don’t understand why we need to see Selena at such a crucial moment, Harvey.”“Because it’s almost Madam York’s birthday, the Yorks have been keeping a close eye on Lady Judd. She won’t be allowed to go anywhere.”“They need to make sure that she’ll acknowledge Vince as her son.”“Forgive me for being frank, but you’re only challenging the Yorks from Hong Kong by inviting Lady Judd out right now.”“I don’t recommend this.”“It doesn’t matter,” Harvey replied.“Even if we do nothing, that doesn’t stop Vince from trying to kill us.”“Precisely because of Madam York’s birthday that he might not do anything rash, all so he can keep his position.”“But once he rises to power, he’ll definitely come at me
On Taiping Mountaintop, inside the Parson family’s villa.Matthew Flynn and Ellis Parson sat in front of each other with horrible looks all over their faces.Quinton York, who was sitting cross-legged while sipping his tea, sat across them.After playing with his new phone and sending a text, he then smiled faintly at Matthew and Ellis.“We’re all one of the Four Masters of Hong Kong, after all. Are you going to do business with me or not?“If you do, you’re one of ours from today onward. When I rise to power, I won’t forget about the things you’ve done.“But if you don’t, all I need to do is inform Vince York that you betrayed him.”Naturally, Quinton was the one who had sent the text to Harvey York.Matthew’s expression changed slightly after hearing Quinton’s words.“You’re threatening us using Vince?” he coldly exclaimed after some time.“Are you insane, Quinton?!“You think Vince is going to believe you?!“You’re just his lapdog!”“We’ve been his brothers for so many
At the same time, on the Huancheng Expressway, a dark red Porsche 718 was zooming at extremely high speeds, as if the car was injected with adrenaline.The driver was none other than Helena herself. Her face had lost all color and her eyes quivered constantly.She was one of Selena’s subordinates who had been lurking in the Emerald Club for many years. Her goal was to acquire as much info as possible.But just then, the moment she walked past a box, she overheard Lexie and Vince’s conversation.“Oh, Vince. You’re almost there. It won’t be long before you become the head of the family!“If that old hag takes you under her name, you’ll be able to inherit everything from that family!“Along with the property from my house, three out of five branches of the family will support you! Your position will be solidified!“Of course, when everything is done, you need to take care of that old hag immediately!“After all, she isn’t fond of you at all. If there’s another kept man that shows
A barrage of gunshots was heard, resulting in bullet holes on the Porsche.The bullets managed to miss Helena by a hair’s length.But because of her inexperience, she thought that she was just lucky.Booooom!Right at this moment, a green Toyota Prado came from the side of the road and rammed right into the back of a van.Booom!The van was immediately sent flying. After rolling on the ground for a short while, it became still again. The gunmen inside were completely decimated.The Toyota Prado did not stop there. It kept charging forward without pause.Boom boom boom!One after another, the vans were all sent flying while one of them rolled over immediately after.When the gunmen wearing black masks crawled out, the van exploded without warning.Stephen crawled out of his van with a face full of glass shards, but he seemed oddly gloomy, as if he knew that this was going to happen.When he saw Yoana in the driver’s seat and Harvey beside her, his face turned ashen.He drew
After pondering over the situation, Harvey gave Yoana a signal.He dragged Helena out of the driver’s seat while Yoana got a first-aid kit from the trunk to treat her.Although Helena was in great shock, she was only covered in minor bruises. The treatment went smoothly. After receiving an injection, she regained consciousness, albeit barely.She had a look of confusion on her face when she saw Harvey and Yoana. She wanted to say something, but didn’t have the strength to muster a single word.Harvey calmly smiled without saying another word, then narrowed his eyes at the garden villa in front of him.A huge group of bodyguards from the York family rushed over with loaded firearms.After all, this was Selena’s place, who was the lady of the Yorks.The gate had been crashed into while an intense gunfight happened outside. If the bodyguards didn’t come out in an instant, there would’ve been a real problem.“Don’t move!”“Who are you?!”“What’s going on here?!”The bodyguard le
"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
