Queenie York chuckled lightly. She really liked Sam Baker’s attitude. He understood his gains and losses full well.People like this were usually capable and ambitious.And she liked using people like him the most.“I’m sure that you’ve heard of Sky Corporation, yes?” Queenie retracted her finger, smiling gently.Sam still didn’t dare to open her eyes. He said attentively, “I’ve heard of it. Their branch in San Francisco is planning to reintegrate assets in Gangnam, and they wanted to build a brand new shopping mall in the heart of San Francisco.”Queenie then replied, “I hope that their shopping mall will never be built, forever.”“Of course!”Sam Baker did not question her any further. His head was still bowed to the ground.Some time later, when the footsteps grew further away, he opened his eyes slowly. A dark expression was on his face.“A storm is coming to San Francisco, but this might be an opportunity for the Bakers. Sky Corporation…interesting.”Sam Baker muttered
Harvey did not care for Jimmy, and immediately started to flip through the pages of the contract.Slap!Jimmy’s lackeys walked up and slapped Harvey’s contract to the ground. They shouted fiercely, “Are you signing or not? If you don’t, you won’t be getting out of these doors alive!”Harvey chuckled.“Are you trying to force a buy here?”Jimmy smoked his cigar and calmly replied, “Brother, you can’t be spouting out nonsense whenever you want. I’m a real businessman. How could I force a deal on you? I just don’t really like playing around too much.”“Sign the contract already while I’m still in a good mood.”Harvey did not care about Jimmy.Ray picked up the contract and went through it swiftly. His expression immediately changed and he quietly whispered, “Sir York, this contract isn’t right.”“The price that we agreed on was seven hundred and fifty million dollars, but there was another zero added to this contract, it’s seven billion and five hundred million dollars now.”The
Jimmy replied innocently, “Everyone, this isn’t about me acknowledging the payment or not. I don’t even know what’s going on here!”“I didn’t even talk to you all about this yesterday, nor did I take your money!”“Why don’t you go find the man that took your so-called deposit instead?”The crowd was shocked after hearing this. Subconsciously, they turned to look behind Jimmy.The few people that they talked with weren’t there.The higher ups all looked at each other. Wendy Sorrell then put the receipts the day before on the table and exclaimed coldly, “CEO John, the receipt has your company’s signature and seal.”Jimmy clapped his forehead and said, “I remember now, there’s a bunch of scammers that showed up in San Francisco not too long ago.”“The seal looks exactly like ours, but it’s actually fake. I’m not the one who got your money.”“Should we help you report the incident to the authorities to look for them?”Jimmy seemed like he was being generous.Yet at his words, eve
“Scram!”“If you don’t, I’ll tear off your arms and legs!”“And you... You look pretty good, do you want to play with me and my boys here?”The fighters all looked extremely fierce.The higher ups from Sky Corporation showed horrible faces.They would usually go in and out of high-end venues, only meeting with decent people.It was their first time being in such a raggedy place like this, they were slightly affected by it.However, Harvey and Ray were indifferent about the situation.Harvey calmly said, “Jimmy John, last chance. Give us back the money.”Jimmy coldly chuckled.“You're still not leaving yet? You bastard. Do you really want your legs crippled before you do?”“Fine. Cripple this kid for me!”At that moment, a few fighters rushed toward Harvey. Ray, who was standing beside him, stepped out and kicked Jimmy in the chest.The next moment, Ray grabbed Jimmy’s hair and slammed him on the table. Ray then grabbed a pen nearby and fiercely stabbed Jimmy.Pffft!The
Harvey York slapped Jimmy’s head, then rubbed his hand against Jimmy’s body. He was filled with disdain.“Let me ask you, who was the one who made you change the price of this land and take my hundred and fifty million dollars?”Jimmy was gasping in pain, but he still grinded on his teeth and replied, “Nobody! It’s my own doing! It doesn’t involve anyone else!”“Actually, I already did this a few times before. I didn’t realize that I’d meet terrifying people like you this time around!”Harvey laughed, and then glanced at Wendy Sorrell.“You should go outside for now. What happens next is not suitable for children.”The higher ups all lost color in their faces. They all sprinted out of the room swiftly after hearing what Harvey said.When they left, Harvey chuckled and asked, “Ray, you didn’t forget about the things that I taught you on the battlefield before, right? Today’s the first test.”“Alright.”Ray was smiling. He rubbed Jimmy’s head, and gave a smile that would be cons
Looking at the smirk on Harvey York’s face, Jimmy John shivered right away.Although he had thirty-plus people on his side, he had a gut feeling.That if he didn’t know what’s the right thing to do at this moment, the other two men could crush this group of people down quickly.Till then, not only would he lose the 7.6 million, he wouldn’t be able to get even one dollar.In the end, Jimmy could only sign the agreement with his shivery hand, then transferred the 7.6 million back to the Sky Corporation right in front of everyone.***At the San Francisco branch office.Halsey Lowe got to know what happened and her admiration for her own CEO grew more.Initially, she thought to buy this piece of land would have to cost at least seventy million dollars. She was even mentally prepared that they would set a skyrocketing price.But she didn’t expect that 7.6 million dollars would be able to solve the issue with the land already, plus they were very cooperative that they completed the
The Bakers really held power in San Francisco.Right in front of Queenie York, by simply making a call, San Francisco’s Construction Company’s CEO already promised Sam Baker that he would sign the agreement and take the deposit. Still, he definitely wouldn’t commence the project. For sure, he wouldn’t start working till it’s delayed for eight or ten years.And by delaying for eight or ten years, then Sky Corporation’s layout in San Francisco and the whole of Gangnam would end unsuccessfully.After all, based on Halsey Lowe and Harvey York’s line of thinking, it’s best to complete the construction of the commercial center in half a year and finish all the preparation of integrating resources and spreading of branch offices.And Sam’s strategy would be as if destroying Harvey and Halsey’s original plan right away.“Miss, I wish to use the Bakers’ influence to issue a ban amongst the whole of Gangnam’s construction industry. That is, everyone is prohibited from cooperating with Sky C
The gangster in the lead laughed maliciously after hearing that. “Little slut, did you think we wouldn’t know about your call?“That brother-in-law of yours offended our Prince, and now he’s off in hiding after that!“If not because of that, he would have been long dead!“We only gave you the chance to call him to make him come back here. If not, do you think you’ll even get that chance?”As he spoke, the leader walked to Xynthia Zimmer’s side and grabbed a fistful of her hair to lift her head.“Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a young beauty we have here!“My brothers, it’s been a long time since everyone had some fun!”In the midst of his speech, the leader stood up to unbuckle his belt.Xynthia wasn’t a three-year-old kid anymore. How could she not know what he was about to do?“No, no!”At that moment, her initially stubborn face instantly turned pale white as she retreated backward frantically. At that moment, she’s not concerned with the floor full of mud anymore.“Ho, ho, ho… Only
"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
