"I'm warning you now. When we first came to invest, Yvonne guaranteed us and staked the Xavier of Wolsing's reputation on this. She said there was no way we could lose our money, and we would make a killing out of this. Otherwise, we wouldn't have invested in this so-called Sky Corporation!" said the middle-aged woman as she glanced at the screen with an almost vertical line. She was literally heaving, barely able to contain her rage."And in the end, you invested all of our money into the futures market for crude oil without our consent. And you said we can earn a 20% profit? But now, we have already lost 60% of our starting capital! I'm telling you right now that no matter how much your company has lost, you will refund all of our capital!"We're not anyone that you can deceive so easily. Also, Ray can't leave. Isn't he the vice CEO of this company? Who are we going to ask for money if he leaves?"Ray frowned and tried to explain, "Mr. Harvey is our corporation's—""Your corporat
"We don't care. We have already invested our money in you. Since you're not listed publicly, you must guarantee profits once you have our money.""That's right. If it isn't because we saw you earn so much the first few times, do you think we would entrust you with our money?" said the middle-aged woman coldly. "If you cannot guarantee a profit nor can you guarantee our capital is safe, we're going to destroy your company and sue you!"Harvey frowned and said, "Since you've come to our company today, you must have signed a contract with us. Then, you should know that it's clearly stated in the contract that no investments can guarantee a profitable return. The only thing that Sky Corporation can do is to do our best and make sure we don't lose our clients' money."When it comes to investment, there are no high returns for safe investments. Investments with high rewards usually have high risks as well. That's the basics of investment. Don't tell me you didn't understand any of this be
Ray was first stunned when he heard what Harvey had to say. Then, he did not hesitate and waved his hand. "All available staff come over and process our customers' refund. Finish the entire process within half an hour!"Almost immediately, a large group of staff from Sky Corporation started to get to work. As the sound of computers and printers started, the middle-aged woman and the other investors demanded their refunds.Shortly, some of them smiled after completing the refunds and saw the new amount in their bank account.At the very least, they had their investment capital back.Half an hour quickly passed, and all the investors who had chosen to get a refund had regained their investment capital. At this time, the price of crude oil had dropped to one A dollar per barrel.While the other one-third of the investors who did not opt for a refund could remain calm, their expression was still very dark. But it was normal. No matter who saw their investment capital had shrunk by 5
"You must have already anticipated how the crude oil prices will go! That's why you intentionally said we can get all our initial investment back! You aim to get all of us to refund so you can pocket the profit that originally belonged to us!" screamed the middle-aged woman hysterically when she would not accept what happened."I don't care! You have to give me back my 30-fold profit!"All the other investors who got their initial investment back also started making a scene. Feelings of regret and distress filled their minds. If they had not asked for a refund, they would have gained 30 times the profit.Just this once would be enough to make them financially free.But because they had just signed the contract and Sky Corporation had returned their initial investment, all these profits had nothing to do with them anymore. They were like gamblers who saw themselves missing their shot at the jackpot by one number.The feeling was terrible enough to make them have suicidal thoughts.
Perhaps it was due to Yvonne's unique identity. Or perhaps it was due to her powerful imposition. After Yvonne slapped the middle-aged woman dozens of times, the entire meeting hall turned silent.Yvonne looked around and spoke slowly, "Indeed, I told you investing in Sky Corporation will net you huge returns, and the truth is that our corporation managed to do that."Seeing that our corporation's value is to serve our clients to the best of our abilities, we have also fulfilled your requests even when working on the investment, and you are causing a scene here. But now, you want to back out on your own decision after you have taken back your initial capital and seen us make the profits?"What? When we make a loss, you want to save your initial capital. But when we make a profit, you also want to have your returns? Nothing in this world works like that. From the moment you signed the agreement and took back your initial capital, all these profits had nothing to do with you anymore.
"While we did make a few moves here and there to achieve the profits we made today, it was also because of being here at the right time when there was such a change in the global market. While that allowed us to earn a 30-fold profit, there was always an equal chance that we would lose all our investment. We only managed to win this because of our luck and capabilities. "In a manner of speaking, this kind of success is not repeatable. That also means the 30-fold profit you wish for is not repeatable. Not to mention that even if we did manage to secure another 30-fold profit in the future, it has nothing to do with you anymore."That's because when you signed the contract and took back your initial investment capital, you have already been blacklisted by the corporation. I believe the corporation would not want to do anything with you anymore in the future."When the middle-aged woman heard everything Yvonne said, she was so angry that she shuddered. She immediately yelled, "Listen
"Oskar, I need your help!" Harvey immediately said into the phone the moment the call went through directly.No one could have expected Harvey to have no fear or respect for the national doctor like Oskar. Instead, they spoke casually, as usually spoken between friends."Give me the time, place, and situation." An old but stern voice rang from the other side. There was no hesitation in them as well."Sky Corporation headquarters in Wolsing. Injuries caused by the Royal Flush," said Harvey as he took a deep breath. "I can use my life energy to buy her time, but I can only maintain this for half an hour.""That's more than enough. I'll be there in ten." Harvey's stern expression relaxed a little after he heard that. Then, he ignored the surrounding chaos and closed his eyes.Ten minutes later, an ambulance suddenly made its way to Sky Corporation's entrance.Oskar immediately showed up while wearing a mask.All the investors watching how things were playing out in the meeting hall
The middle-aged woman spat on Harvey. "Kill me if you dare. I won't spill anything!"Harvey nodded and did not waste his breath. Instead, he grabbed the middle-aged woman by her left hand and twisted it.There was the crisp sound of something being broken, followed by a terrifying scream.Then, Harvey slapped the middle-aged woman's face using the back of his hand. She instantly coughed out a mouthful of blood, immediately stopping her screaming."Take her away. Break her remaining limbs. Then, we will get the best orthopedic doctor we can get to treat her. Ask her again if she was willing to confess. If she refuses, break her bones again and get her treated once more. Then, repeat it ad infinitum."Only send her to a proper hospital once she confessed."The middle-aged woman started sweating profusely when she heard what Harvey had just said casually. Breaking her bones, treating her injuries, and then breaking them again? What kind of demonic torture was that?"Also, tell Geor
"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
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
