It was clear Harvey’s words were hurting their pride. After all, America lost its authority ever since Country H rose to the peak.Karina took a deep breath before stopping Leland and the others with a faint smile.“You really are arrogant, huh? How dare you act like this in front of us Americans when Country H’s only been established for a few measly years?“Let me tell you something! As long as America is around, Country H will remain as the lackey!“Stop pretending already, Harvey! Since we’re already here, it means we’re not scared to go against you!“Even if there’s no diplomatic dispute—even if I don’t sanction the country…“If I want to, there are tons of ways to deal with you too!“Other than medicine and drinks, do you know what’s the Locke Financial Group’s biggest business?“Firearms! Out of the entire world, we provide ten percent of the firearms!“We have tons of talented people under our wing!“A single word is enough to take down an ant like you!“What right
“I never know what’s best for myself.“That was never in my dictionary.”Karina Joyner sat up straight with her disdainful, beautiful face.“Then, tell me, what do you have in your dictionary?“Rolling on the ground in pain? Or kneeling and begging for mercy?”“Neither.Harvey York smiled before pouring his tea on her face.“There’s only one thing that I follow…“And that is to crush spirits through humiliation.”Splash!Scorching hot tea was poured down Karina’s head, ruining her makeup and making her look extremely miserable.Even Karina froze. She could not fathom something like this would happen in the country.She was the lady of the Locke Financial Group, after all!Even leaders of small countries would have to pamper her!And yet she was utterly humiliated by a clown in front of everyone…This was simply unforgivable!“What? That’s not enough?”Harvey grabbed the teapot before pouring its contents on Karina’s head while she was still stunned.“How about now?“
Karina Joyner squinted while glaring coldly.“Let me warn you.“You better not get out of the damn restaurant for the rest of your life.“If not, it just might be the last time you live.”Harvey York smiled.“Is that a threat?”Karina wiped the tea off her face.“That’s right! It’s nothing but that!“As soon as you walk out of here, I’ll find ways to kill you!“Maybe I’ll get America’s top sniper to deal with you!“Or maybe I’ll get our genetically enhanced soldiers to do the job!“I could find a thug nearby to stab you too!“In any case, you’re as good as dead!”Harvey merely shrugged.“I’m so scared!“What should I do for you to let me go?”“Let you go? Impossible!”Karina showed a big smile.“The moment you went against me, your fate has been sealed!“If you even survive for more than twenty-four hours…“I’ll kneel right before your damn face!”Then, Karina left with Leland Talbot and the others.In her eyes, Harvey was already a dead man.Harvey smiled faintl
Harvey York chuckled.“You know quite a bit about her.“The Locke Financial Group is close with the John family.“Rumor has it that Karina Joyner and Blaine John were previously involved.“I don’t know if it’s true, but that should be enough to show the relations between the two families.“Another thing. Karina’s projects and businesses always seemed to lead back to both the John family and the Wright family.”Harvey squinted.“Emery Wright?”Kairi Patel nodded.“There are signs of him being involved, but there’s no solid proof.“After all, nobody would dare accuse a royal family without any evidence.”“We live in modern times now. What’s the point of calling them that?“If he’s involved with America…“I guarantee that he wouldn’t even have a status by this end.”Kairi was shocked by Harvey’s words before she cautiously looked around.“You can’t just say things like that in public, Harvey.“There are ears everywhere.“Besides, you should be careful of Karina.“That wo
Harvey York had no choice but to get in the car.Arlet Pagan stepped on the pedal, and the car sped off.“Have you heard of the suspension bridge effect, Harvey?” Arlet asked with a smile on her face.Harvey froze.“What does that mean?”“When two people walk on a suspension bridge, they’ll mistake their tension as feelings for one another.“Simply put, it’s a lot easier for two people to have feelings for each other in a dire situation.“Say, if the Ferrari loses control while driving at seventy miles per hour…“Would you develop feelings for me before we both die?”A stoplight was seen straight ahead.Arlet stepped on the brakes before staring at Harvey with her eyes lit up.Harvey felt his head aching. He was just about to say something when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.A red dot glided past the windshield.Harvey furiously pressed down on Arlet’s smooth thighs.Arlet was completely shocked by the advances.“You can’t just do that if I’m the one who confes
Harvey York instinctively unbuckled Arlet Pagan’s seat belt, completely ignoring the fact that he had touched her in several places already.Then, he pushed the door open before jumping out with her.The two rolled along the road.A loud explosion was heard when the car exploded into smithereens. The wave of air instantly pushed Harvey and Arlet to the side.Bang bang bang!A few more gunshots were heard.Harvey managed to evade the shots, but Arlet grazed her shoulder.Arlet shrieked in pain. She was on the verge of tears.Harvey carried her behind a pillar, then tore off a piece of his clothes to bandage her.“Call Prince Gibson. Tell him to get his men here.”Then, Harvey rolled on the ground, dodging two more bullets before he dashed toward the building not far away from him.The sniper knew Harvey was going after him next.Arlet would surely be safe if she left the place immediately.Bang bang bang!The sniper started to show off after seeing Harvey’s movements. He f
Bang bang bang!The sniper became a lot more agile with the longer bullets.Harvey York hopped right into a room on the bottom floor before sending a door flying with a kick.The sniper glared disdainfully when he waited for Harvey to peek out.His face darkened instantly. In the corner of his eye, he saw that the door landed right on the floor under him.Harvey had already made a blind spot for himself.“Bastard!“How is he that good?!”The sniper was planning to escape. After all, he would be at a disadvantage if he fought at close range.But before he could get to the stairs, Harvey had already shown up when he threw a kick.The sniper instinctively swung his rifle, trying to deflect Harvey’s kick.Bam!The rifle split in half.The sniper stumbled back when he discarded his broken rifle, then pulled out a revolver and aimed the barrel at Harvey.Harvey stopped in his tracks before clapping his hands with a curious look.“You’re American?” he asked.“Did Karina Joyner
After sending Arlet Pagan to the hospital and calling a few experts from Heaven’s Gate to care for her, Harvey York returned to the Fortune Hall.Prince Gibson had been waiting for the longest time.He poured a cup of tea for Harvey before speaking.“That bastard told us everything, Sir York.“He calls himself K. He said that he’s the best sniper in America.“He’s impressive even among the genetically enhanced soldiers. He can see a fly ten thousand feet away from him with his naked eyes. He could also tell exactly when a fly was flapping its wings.“He doesn’t miss exactly when because he sees that well.“What a shame that he bumped into you!“Another thing. He was ordered to kill you by Karina Joyner.“You completely disrespected her back in the restaurant.“That was why she immediately dispatched the soldier after you.”Prince briefly told Harvey everything he found out during the interrogation.It was not that far off from Harvey’s deduction, but it was enough to prove
"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
