Bam!Harvey York suddenly stepped forward before grabbing Kurtis Lee’s hand.“You like blackmailing, don’t you?Harvey swung the back of his palm across Kurtis’ face, slapping him down.Then, he kicked Kurtis in the stomach.“Come on then!“Which body part are you going to accuse me of breaking?“Don’t worry! I’m pretty precise!“I’ll break the exact spot you name without fail, and I won’t play any tricks about it, either!”“You…”Kurtis stood frozen.He had been doing whatever he wanted. Everyone had no choice but to pamper him here.And yet, what happened?A man came out of nowhere just to slap him in the face before threatening him.Kurtis felt a little sluggish, having never experienced such a thing before. He could not come to his senses at that moment.After all, he was a prominent figure who represented thousands of people. He was also arrogant and would seek the Lloyd family’s support when unsatisfied.Along with the fact that he did not have children to care fo
Naomi Stanton glared at Kairi Patel.“Do you think you can do whatever you please just because you’re the government’s second-in-command?“Let me tell you something! We’re living in a lawful age!“Even the king has to suffer the consequences for committing a crime!“I don’t care who you people are!“You need to pay the price for hurting people!”Naomi waved her hand before a few young men stepped up, ready to take action at any moment.“Naomi, right? Does your real father know about your godfather?” Kairi asked calmly.“Don’t you know that your real father would get furious if he discovered this?”Naomi’s face instantly darkened.“Sharp tongue!”“Even if Harvey slapped your real father down…“I’ll stand right beside him here!“Let alone your mere godfather!“I do want to see how you’d fare against us!“Don’t forget, I’m also the lady of the Patel family!“If you anger me, I don’t need to remain the second-in-command to crush you either!”Naturally, nobody could go agai
“You! You’re shameless!Naomi Stanton quickly jumped forward.‘How is this bastard that shameless?!’Harvey York gave a chuckle.“Me, shameless? You can’t just say that!“I screwed up after only trying to help…“But you can’t spout nonsense like that either!“I was just doing this out of the kindness of my heart!“I have good intentions!“I’ll sue you for slander if you accuse me of something I didn’t do!“After all, it’s a huge crime to slander the consultant of the city’s government!Then, Harvey smiled at Kurtis Lee, still lying on the ground.“Is anywhere else broken for you, Mr. Kurtis?“We’ll definitely help you with it!“Don’t worry!“Even if I can’t perfectly fix your problem, I’ll get an ambulance here to help!“Oh, right. Pardon my memory.“Ambulances can’t even get inside here! What are we supposed to do now?”Kurtis’ body shivered after hearing Harvey’s words.“You little bastard!” he exclaimed after stuttering for the longest time.Naturally, he was alr
“At this point, it doesn’t matter if I break both your arms or just one, right?”Harvey York’s smile was utterly sinister in Kurtis Lee’s eyes.He gritted his teeth for a moment before finally speaking again.“Don’t you dare cross the line, Harvey!”“Cross the line?“I would never.“If I’d end up the same anyway…“Why wouldn’t I just break both your arms instead?“Right?”“You want to break both?!“Don’t you know I’m the sworn brother of Mr. Keegan from the Lloyd family?!“How dare you even lay a finger on me?!“Other than him, I still have other countless people supporting me!“Those who go against me will always suffer a horrible fate!“There’s no point in regretting now!”Kurtis’ speech was getting more and more illogical at that moment.Harvey sighed.“You’re right about that.“Then again, I’m not going to do that anyway.”Harvey stepped forward before stomping on Kurtis’ other arm.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain were heard as Kurtis rolled on the ground with a horri
Only the driver, Harvey York, and Kairi Patel were in a minibus on the way back.Kairi sighed, seeing Harvey’s calm expression.“I’m afraid Kurtis Lee wouldn’t just let you go scot-free this time…“Keegan Lloyd’s a prominent figure of Gangnam’s martial arts world.“It’s said that he’s considered a hero there.“He’s a righteous man who has helped many.“It’d be quite troubling if a person like that were to stand for Kurtis.”“He wouldn’t dare.”Kairi froze before she stopped talking.She believed Harvey did not understand his dire situation and that she would stand with him no matter the case.-On the next day, early in the morning.Harvey and Kairi received word that they would attend the meeting on time.When the two arrived at the meeting room, dozens of people were seated properly.In addition to Chanse Foster and the higher-ups of different departments, a few deputies also attended the meeting.An elderly man in a robe resembling Blaine John sat in the middle seat.
“I’m dissatisfied with Consultant York, but I still want the project done as soon as possible!“That was why I went to beg for Kurtis Lee’s support!“I wanted to offer Consultant York a chance!“Kurtis only joked with Madam Kairi because he adored her!“Yet, Consultant York broke both of Kurtis’ arms because of that!Chanse seemed as if he was terrified.“He was the government’s consultant, and yet he was beating people up without regard!“He knew it was a crime, and he still committed it!“What’s more, he even threatened Kurtis after all that!“He said he’d break Kurtis’ legs if the relocation contract weren’t sent here!“This is the government! We work for the people!“How could we side with a person who acts like a damn gangster?!“Madam Kairi has no right to be our second-in-command either since she’s such a bad judge of character!“I suggest we remove these two from their positions effective immediately!”The people from the land department cheered loudly, clamoring
“Kurtis Lee was once a romantic young man!“He can’t help being flirty every once in a while!“He was joking with you because he thought you looked pretty!“Not only are you completely ungrateful, but you also got your subordinate to take action against him?!“Do you think you’re actually being reasonable here?“Besides, even if Kurtis was planning to take advantage of you, why didn’t you just let him?!“You could’ve secured the deal with just being a few minutes with him!“What’s wrong with that?!“As the second-in-command, so what if you suffer a little for the sake of the land department?“You won’t die from it anyway!“I’m not a woman…“But if I am, and Kurtis is interested in me…“For the sake of the government, not only would I play along with him, I’d even acknowledge it if he wants me to be with him for the rest of his life!“Countless people had sacrificed themselves for the benefit of the country!“So what if someone flirted with you?“If you don’t even have th
“That’s right! Us government officials will swallow our pride for the sake of the public!“We’re different compared to you half-baked people!“We’re professionals!“So what if we do everything for the government?!”Chanse Foster knew Harvey York was only trying to provoke everyone, but he could not refute his insults either.All he could do was put up a righteous front.Damon John nodded.“Us government officials must always think of the bigger picture.“For that, there are some things we can and should sacrifice!“Even the death of a few people is necessary if that’s the case…“Let alone other things.“If you can’t even do that, then you’re simply unfit to work for the government.”Naturally, Damon was deliberately trying to force Kairi to resign herself.“We’re unfit?Harvey put on a smile.“In my eyes, we’re the exact opposite!“After all, we never compromise for the sake of unruly people!“We do everything by the books!“This is the way of a true upperclassman!“I
