“I came because something big happened.”“Talk. What happened?”Looking at George, Harvey knew it wasn’t a simple matter.“Did the Indians start calling us out internationally because they’re unhappy with the outcome of the fight?”“It’d be easy if it was just them.”George seemed a little anxious.“This is really bad, Sir York.”“This is what happened.”“The top talents you crushed brought Axel back to India and announced their loss.”“After investigating the matter, the Indians said that they weren’t willing to accept the outcome because the entire situation seemed very fishy.”“The Indians are now planning to get Zoe to question you.”“But because of your arrangements, they didn’t even know where to find Zoe in the first place.”“The situation was going to end up unresolved…”“Until someone from Country H decided to help the Indians!”“They’re planning to get the Martial Arts Alliance involved!”“Just before, India, the South Sea, the Far East, and the Island Nations’
‘Clyde Osborne?’Harvey’s pupils shrank.He didn’t expect Rhea and Clyde to continue going against him, even after he had taught them a lesson during the Longmen’s Summit.More importantly, Clyde sold out his own country just to screw with Harvey!“Is that b*stard not scared of the top ten families and the four hidden families banding together against him?”“After all, he isn’t just going after my interests at this point,” Harvey said while narrowing his eyes.George sighed.“I have word that most of those families wouldn’t take any action on this.”“The Wright family and the York family, among others, would be restrained by them as well.”“Simply put, we’re in a bad situation right now.”“Of course, other than Clyde getting the four great Martial Arts Alliances to go against us, Rhea and the others had done quite a bit against us as well.”George coughed.“Other than squashing us, they have plans to band together and go against Country H too.”“After the Euro-American bat
“The Torres family?”Harvey froze.“What does this have to do with the Torres family?”“There’s something you don’t know, Sir York,” George said quietly.“After Elder Colton retired, he became a nominal leader of Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance. This was why his status was still exceptionally high in Flutwell after his retirement.”Harvey was surprised; he didn’t think Colton would have a title like that.“That said, Country H’s Martial Arts Alliance is just an alliance for the sacred martial arts training grounds. It seems like an organization on the outside, but in reality, the sacred martial arts training grounds have control of it.”“Elder Torres barely has any authority. The authority is split up between the vice leaders of the sacred martial arts training grounds here.”“Now that this is happening, there are a lot of people in the Martial Arts Alliance with their own motives. This had led them to conspire with our enemies from outside.”“Everyone is now dragging Elder
Colton told his secretary and assistant to lead the way to the Underground Eatery downstairs.The receptionist smiled after seeing Colton.“Welcome, Elder Torres. You look as vigorous as usual!”“Same thing today?’Colton smiled.“That’s right. I’ll take the Heavenly Box. Bring me your signature dish and wine too.”Colton then smiled at Harvey.“There aren’t a lot of dishes here, but all of them are the best of the best! You should try them.”Harvey smiled; he was about to say something when he heard a faint chuckle from behind.“Aren’t you Elder Torres?”“What a coincidence! You’re a little late though.”“I’m sorry, but we’ve already booked for the Heavenly Box.”Harvey instinctively turned around. He saw a man in a yellow robe, surrounded by several people. An old familiar face was right beside him as well.It was Clyde!Harvey stared curiously; he didn’t think Clyde would dare show up in front of him.Since Harvey wasn’t the main attraction and Clyde didn’t say anythi
“Enough! Do you think you have the right to speak here?” Dane exclaimed, taking a step forward.“Where are your manners?”“Did you forget everything I’ve taught you?”“Leader Torres wouldn’t dare fight us for the Heavenly Box if we just say so!”“However, you don’t have to say it like that!”“How is Leader Torres going to feel about this?!”“You’ll reflect on this when we get back!”After scolding the secretary, Dane looked at Colton with a small smile.“Sorry, Colton. My secretary’s just a little too straightforward. Please don’t mind her!”He then glared coldly at the secretary.“Are you still not apologizing?”The secretary crossed her arms after hearing those words.“I’m so sorry, Leader Torres.”“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.”“It’s not your fault you weren’t taught well. A filthy mouth can’t utter decent words, after all.”“Of course you wouldn’t know how to behave when you’ve been living in the gutter your entire life.”Colton’s face was expressionless; he was
“Since Clyde is the prince of the Osborne family, then he’s naturally a citizen here.”“Will he do anything bad to the country just because he can’t have a simple meal?”“Maybe the rumors are true after all. Maybe the four great Martial Arts Alliances banded together against us because of him.”“If that truly is the case, then I’ll make sure to investigate the situation further.”“I’m not afraid to tell you this either, Dane.”“You people from Golden Palace are getting a little close to the Indians right now. Best make sure you don’t let me find anything.”“If I do find anything, you won’t get away with it!”Colton turned around and made a gesture to invite Harvey into the box.“We’re taking this box,” he exclaimed coldly.“I’m sorry, Leader Torres. This box is already occupied!”A beautiful woman with a slender body, clad in a black uniform, walked out and stopped Colton in his tracks.“What’s the meaning of this, Sophia?” Colton demanded, his tone ice. The woman was the
“But we can’t just let this slide!” Colton exclaimed.“Of course.”Harvey smiled, and then looked at the receptionist.“You heard what Sophia said; the meal’s on the house.”The receptionist had a disdainful look on her face; she didn’t think that Harvey and the others would still eat here after being utterly disrespected.Even so, she still gave them a faint smile.“If you’re still willing to eat here, please come this way.”“No need!”Harvey smiled at her before making a call.“Get ten pickup trucks here. I’m taking all the food away.”An hour later, Sophia walked out of the Heavenly Box with Dane and Clyde, whose stomachs were full of wine and food.Judging by their appearances, they had quite a lot to drink.When the receptionist saw everyone come out, she hurriedly jogged over and handed over a receipt .“This is Leader Torres’s spending, Vice Leader Benett. They thanked you for your hospitality before they left.”The receptionist was sweating profusely.“They actua
Even though they had successfully disrespected Colton, they had to pay four million and three hundred thousand dollars for it.It would be hard to actually tell who was being disrespected here!More importantly, Dane felt that he was the one who asked for this.‘This is embarrassing! This is unforgivable!’Many were shocked to see Dane inside Colton’s room.Several workers from the Martial Arts Alliance came over nosily.“Calm down, Vice Leader Benett. You have a pretty high blood pressure, so please don’t get angry.”“If you get a stroke and die, it’ll be bad luck for everyone here.”“Leader Torres likes this office a lot. He won’t be able to use it if that’s the case.”Harvey looked calmly at Dane while he sipped his tea.“Another thing. What happened before had nothing to do with Leader Torres. I was the one who got the workers to take everything.”“I was thinking of a way to reward them, too. Thank you for your generosity, Vice Leader Benett.”“My subordinates were very
"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
