Harvey York calmly smiled as he shrugged.“It’s just a simple deal with the Ishikawa Corporation anyway. At the end of the day, it’s only a few hundred million dollars per annum. Is there even a need to cause such a huge uproar for this money?”Dante Castro cackled.“Just a simple deal, you say?“Only a few hundred million dollars per annum?“How shameless can you get, Harvey?!”Even Dante was chuckling in anger at this very moment.A few female higher-ups were covering their mouths to hide their snickers. In their eyes, Harvey was just some ignorant fool.“Are you serious, Harvey?”“If things are really that simple for you, then bring the contract here already!”“You’ll probably get many more letters from lawyers than contracts!”“Young Master Ishikawa won’t let you go that easily for hitting one of his subordinates!”The higher-ups glared disdainfully at Harvey. In their eyes, Harvey was just another clown.Harvey took a peek at his Rolex on his wrist and then calmly sai
Everyone had the same thought at that moment. Taichi Ishikawa was here to force the Loxus Consortium so he could benefit from the situation.If not, why would he come all the way here after being thoroughly disrespected?Cory York managed to regain his composure before thinking of a way to deal with Taichi.“Miss Ishikawa, Young Master Ishikawa, this way please!”When Cory and the others stood up, planning to welcome the arrival of Taichi and the others, the front desk lady had already brought a dozen people to the meeting room.The person in front was an Islander-looking woman wearing an elegant suit.Her face showed a professional smile as she swiftly followed the front desk lady.The person behind her was none other than Taichi, who was showing utter despair.Secretary Akina, who still had a few palm prints on her face, was here with the assistants, the legal department, bodyguards, and other people…Harvey York curiously glanced at the woman and immediately recognized her
Cory York was showing an enthusiastic look.“If it’s something you need help with, we’ll definitely lend you a hand if it is within our power.“After all, there’s nothing I can’t handle in Hong Kong or Las Vegas!“Even if the people from Loxus Consortium managed to offend the honorable Ishikawa family, I’ll be sure to give you a fair statement if you say the word.”Naturally, Cory still thought that Yukiko Ishikawa dragged this many people with her so she could ask him for a fair statement.If not, with Yukiko’s status, why would she even come here all the way from Mordu?She even came in such a hurry. She was clearly looking for trouble.As for the polite attitude, Cory also felt it was normal.After all, peaceful measures should be used before war.The people from the Island Nations had been known as the country of etiquette. Even if they bump into the person who slaughtered their entire family, they would still bow properly before swinging their blade.It seemed normal for
Cory York slightly froze before forcing out a smile.“Miss Ishikawa, you must’ve been mistaken.“The young lord of the family is Vince York. It’s not Harvey York.”The meaning of those words was simple. Harvey was not even from the Yorks of Hong Kong, and there was no need to be this polite toward him.Cory then walked toward Taichi Ishikawa while showing a warm smile.“I heard about what transpired yesterday, Young Master Ishikawa.“This is no big deal. It’s all in the past now. Please stand up.”He then tried to lift Taichi off the ground.Taichi completely ignored him and kept slapping himself as he kneeled.“I’m moved by your generosity, Chairman York, but we have to admit to our faults! This is the rule of the Ishikawa family!“We came here today to ask for Sir York’s forgiveness.”Yukiko ignored Cory and kept bowing in front of Harvey.It was apparent that Cory had no say in the situation, and only Harvey did, but she did not say it out loud.Cory’s expression slight
Cory York and the board of directors squinted their eyes.Everyone knew that Harvey York was making an example out of the Islanders.Queenie York’s consultant was trampling them all over like a bunch of dead dogs.Who else would dare to go against Queenie in the future?Simply put, Queenie’s position as the executive CEO would be solidified after this incident.“Thank Sir York properly and change your ways.”Yukiko Ishikawa glanced at Taichi Ishikawa while she was constantly bowing.“If it weren’t for Sir York, you would’ve been thrown to the fishes this afternoon.“Be grateful!”Everyone gasped after hearing Yukiko’s calm words.‘The Islanders sure are ruthless! Not only are they merciless toward their enemies, but they also have no pity toward their own!’Harvey glanced at Yukiko while filled with interest before raising his caution.He knew if he did not manage to suppress Yukiko, he would have been the one to kneel and break his hand, and not Taichi.Due to Yukiko's ar
While the others only saw profit, Harvey York saw through Yukiko Ishikawa’s evil plans hidden underneath her generosity.Simply put, if Harvey were to sign the contract, he would turn into a menace within the entire company, maybe even to the Yorks of Hong Kong too!He would need to fight them all to the death if that were the case!Yukiko understood how powerful Harvey was. Since the Yorks of Hong Kong was one of the five hidden families, they would also have immense strength.If both sides were to fight each other to the death, Country H’s entire upper social circle would also be dragged into it.Trading three years’ worth of an exclusive deal with utter chaos between Harvey and the Yorks of Hong Kong…For the Islanders, who only wished for the people of Country H to suffer, this was an extremely lucrative deal.Without a second thought, Harvey reached out and raised Yukiko’s exquisite jaw with a warm smile.“Three whole years of that just isn’t enough, Miss Ishikawa.“I hav
With Queenie York’s signature on the contract, the Ishikawa Corporation incident came to a close.Queenie’s position within the company and the family was set in stone.After seeing Yukiko Ishikawa and the others stumble out of the venue, Harvey York calmly turned toward Dante Castro.Dante frantically changed his expression and tried to back off.“You remember the deal we made yesterday, Manager Castro?” asked Harvey calmly.“You’re supposed to leave the company if I get the contract, right?“So, when are you planning to do that?”The higher-ups looked at each other after hearing Harvey’s words.Nobody thought that Harvey would bring that up at this point.Dante’s face turned pale.“I… I… I…” he muttered.“Since you have a deal with Consultant York, you should leave then.“Since you’ve worked so hard for the Loxus Consortium for so many years, I’ll give you a year’s worth of salary as severance pay! Don’t you dare show up in front of me ever again!“Come! Give him the mon
“You…”Cory York was boiling with anger before abruptly leaving while coldly glaring at Harvey York.Harvey chuckled. Cory had lost his reputation within the company.It would only be a matter of time before Queenie York took over his place.***“That b*stard!”Inside the office building at Victoria Harbor, Cory still could not manage to calm himself down.The teacup in his hand trembled vigorously. Apparently, he was still enraged.His gaze then shifted toward Vince York before he coldly exclaimed, “I told you so many times already, Vince! Don’t go for Fourth Brother’s people willy-nilly, especially Selena Judd!“Fourth Brother treasures that woman the most!“Whatever you do, don’t ever go against her!“But what happened? Not only did you provoke her, you even got Fourth Brother angry! Now he’s releasing her exceptional daughter just to fight you!“What are you planning to do?!“It’s only five days before the damn birthday banquet!“I can’t believe you got into this big
"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
