The security guards rushed forward, and glared at the people at the entrance. The newcomers were dressed in robes of a certain sacred martial arts training ground, and their expressions were fierce. They raised their head smugly, their piercing gazes scanning the room. They were all expert martial artists. The person leading the group was none other than Harvey.The security guard quickly pulled out their firearms and tried to turn the safeties off. Before they could, Rachel took a step out and kicked every single one of them down.Everyone went dead silent. They looked at each other with shock; they didn’t think someone would dare cause trouble for the Hoffman family in their own territory.What’s more, Rohan was making his speech right now. To do something like this was complete disrespect!Lola instinctively turned around, shocked to see Harvey. “Harvey?!”Her informers told her that Harvey was still supposed to be at the police station… Yet, here he was. He also showed u
Lola froze.“What’s going on, Harvey? Can’t you just deal with it after the family event? You’re going against the entire family!”“I wanted to give the family a chance for your sake, Lola…” Harvey said. “But someone’s been trying to frame me for things I didn’t do. I’d be thrown behind bars for a decade at least!“I can’t hold myself back! It’s never too late for me to take my revenge…but it’d be too late if I even wait for a single day!“I don’t care what event’s being held here right now… He’s giving me an explanation, whether you like it or not!“I’m already being nice enough for him to kneel, all for your sake!”Harvey’s face was calm.Lola froze, then instinctively looked at Rohan.“Didn’t you tell me…that the evidence against Harvey is all real? He’s saying that you framed him! Which is it?!”Naturally, Lola didn’t believe that Rohan would do something like this, since he considered himself a fair and just man. Something like this was completely out of line compared t
Rohan didn’t know how Harvey managed to get out of jail in the first place…However, he knew that this was a good opportunity to crush Harvey.After all, this was the Hoffman family’s event! Troublemakers would be facing against the entire family.Rohan didn’t need to do anything. The elders of the family would never let Harvey go!Anyway, even without their support… The many guests here would deal with Harvey anyway. After all, they were all from the same family.Lola’s eyes twitched, and she hurriedly approached Harvey.“Enough, Harvey! Leave! You don’t know what the family event is about! Even if Rohan’s in the wrong, you won’t be able to get an explanation now!“He’s representing the entirety of the Hoffman family, one of the top ten families! Not himself!”“Don’t worry,” Harvey replied. “It doesn’t matter either way. I’ll get my explanation. This won’t end until I end it. I’ll finally get the closure I need!”Harvey sighed helplessly. He wouldn’t leave until Rohan was cru
Lola’s expression worsened when Riggs showed up. She didn’t think he’d take action for such a small matter.She was worried about Harvey’s safety. After remembering everything he had done for her, she instinctively stood in front of him.Rohan looked at her deeply. He realized that pushing Lola around was harder than he thought.Lola gritted her teeth before taking a step forward. “Hello, Mr. Riggs. It’s been a while.”Riggs chuckled.“You think you can just de-escalate everything by greeting me? Don’t you realize that the head demands Rohan to be in charge of the event?“Yet, you brought your men here to cause trouble and disrespect Rohan!“Well? Do you think the Hoffman family’s not a part of the top ten families anymore? Do you think we’re powerless? Do you think our reputation’s just a joke?”Riggs was clearly unhappy.“It’s just a small misunderstanding, Mr. Riggs! We can deal with this ourselves! You don’t have to do anything! I’ll get Harvey to apologize!” Lola said.
“What did you just say to me?“Not only did you insult Young Master Rohan, but you’re also talking to the rest of the family with such disrespect?“Do you want to die? We can drown you with just our own spit right now! Ignorant fool!”The crowd was showing righteous fury after seeing Harvey act so arrogantly. Everyone pointed at Harvey while screaming at him, calling him an ignorant man who popped out of nowhere just to cause the family trouble.“Who gave you the courage to do as you please here, young man? Have you considered the consequences of doing such a thing?”Riggs chuckled, then pulled out a red notebook and throwing it in front of Harvey.“Look closely! Here’s my license to kill!“Do you know what that means?! It means that I have special permission to kill anyone! It also means that I don’t need to pay the price after the kill! Do you understand me?”Riggs had no intention to back off, and smiled coldly at Harvey.His words were ruthless. Lola’s eyes twitched when s
“If you want me to let that brat go, I’m changing my conditions! Starting today, let me play with you for three whole months! I’ll let him off the hook after that! If not, I’ll make sure he dies horribly!”Riggs chuckled coldly, no longer hiding his true intentions.Lola gritted her teeth. “I’ll give you as much money as you want! I’ll do everything I can for it!”“Money? You think that I need that with the status I have right now?”Riggs glared coldly at Lola, then moved to slap her.“Move! I’ll teach you a good lesson tonight!”Bam!However, Lola didn’t get slapped at all. Rather, Harvey grabbed Riggs’s hand. He then swung the back of his palm across Riggs’s face.Slap!The slap echoed loudly. Riggs stumbled a few steps back, covering his face in disbelief.A few Hoffmans changed expressions and stepped forward, wanting to teach Harvey a lesson.‘How dare this bastard slap Mr. Riggs in the face?’‘He even snuck up on him! Does he want to die?’‘He’s insane!’Slap! Sla
Rohan smiled faintly and made a gesture, signaling his subordinates from doing anything. Harvey’s fate had already been sealed when he went against Riggs.The beautiful women were showing disdain and mockery when looking at Harvey.‘As expected from filth like him! He doesn’t know what he’s up against!‘How dare he cause trouble in an event like this! He must have a death wish!’Lola tried speaking up, but Harvey quickly stopped her. He then tilted his head while squinting at Riggs.“Hey, old man. Are you planning to take advantage of me now?” he taunted.“Heh, heh, heh…”Riggs chuckled fearlessly. His eyes reflected his arrogance. “Let me tell you something, kid. In this world, there’s never such thing as taking advantage of things! Only true power means everything!“Are you furious?“How dare filth like you go against me! Ignorant fool! You won’t get another chance to regret your actions!”Riggs glared disdainfully at Harvey.Harvey nodded.“Fine. Since you’re going to
Riggs wasn’t an idiot.As an experienced man in the underworld, he knew exactly what it meant for Heaven’s Gate to pick a side. If he continued to go against Harvey, he’d be challenging Heaven’s Gate as well.He’d be digging his grave for doing something like that!After thinking about all this, he gave up despite his arrogant attitude.He was an experienced man in the underworld; someone like him understood foresight better than the young masters and princes there.He was conflicted. His fearless expression instantly froze at this very moment.Rohan’s expression changed as well. Blaine told him that Harvey was Representative York. He was told that a representative was just a nominal title without actual authority.Yet, everything in front of him was completely different from what he was told!‘Goddammit!’Rohan gritted his teeth; he could’ve crushed Harvey by now if they were in Kaneridge City.Harvey squinted at Rohan.“I don’t know what the rumors are outside…but I was th
"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
