“I didn’t mean that, Brother Tyson, I meant get rid of this fool…” Jake Surrey was confused at Tyson Woods’s sudden change of attitude. He thought Tyson was offended by his language, but who could resist that much money?“Did you just call me a fool again?” Tyson bellowed as he kicked Jake to the ground.“This Surrey guy just called me a fool, I’m gonna rip him apart myself!” Tyson yelled to his subordinates as they approached Jake.“Brother Tyson, I didn’t call you a fool! I came here to give you money!”“Brother Tyson, I’ll give you more!”“Why, Brother Tyson? Why?!”“Ahhh!”Jake let out a scream as he felt intense pain in his legs. He was just a pampered rich kid; he had no idea that he would ever face something like this.Jake fainted after a few seconds.“Sir, he passed out,” Tyson said respectfully as he walked towards Harvey.“So you’re accepting jobs from anyone now, huh? I made you who you are today to help me arrange resources, not to bully others. If you still don’

“The Brookes have a hand in both legal and illegal businesses. I heard that they run a security company which covers almost half of Niumhi’s territory,” Tyson said cryptically, then continued, “Two of our employees were beaten up the last time they went to tell them about the fund retrieval. It was a good thing our men interfered or they would be gone by now.”“Messing with the Yorks? How bold of them,” Harvey laughed, eyes gleaming in interest.“The Brookes are no big deal. I heard a rich kid from their family is close to Liam Stone, maybe that’s why they’re so cocky,” Tyson scoffed.Liam Stone was another thug in Niumhi. Both Liam’s and Tyson’s power were about the same, but they couldn’t do anything to each other.“So you mean that Liam is the backbone of the Brookes? Are you trying to tell me that you can’t handle this?” Harvey asked, narrowing his eyes.“Of course not, but we could lose a lot of men if we picked a fight with them. I wouldn’t do it without your permission,” Ty

That afternoon, Harvey received a phone call from Mandy.“Harvey, the first transaction of funds from York Enterprise has just arrived, help me thank Miss Xavier for me,” Mandy requested, a hint of joy in her tone.“Huh?” Harvey nearly leaped out of his seat. Did Mandy know about his identity?!“Wasn’t she your classmate? I would like to treat her one day when she’s free,” Mandy continued cheerfully.“Alright, we’ll see how it goes. I heard she’s usually quite busy.” Harvey was relieved that his cover had not been blown, and carefully rejected Mandy’s offer. God knows what would happen if those two women became friends.“Oh right, I’ll be coming home late tonight. I have something to take care of first,” Harvey told Mandy as he planned to pay Liam Stone a visit that night.“Okay… but I’ll probably keep my door… unlocked…” Mandy said shyly after a moment of silence.Beep… Beep… Beep...Mandy ended the call immediately after that.Harvey was excited after hearing what Mandy had

Meanwhile, an elderly man dressed in traditional garbs stood waiting in the underground boxing gym. He surveyed his surroundings with an unhappy gaze, not making any attempts to hide his displeasure towards the place.Anyone who watches television broadcasts on treasure authentication would easily recognize this man. He was none other than Shane Naiswell, the grand master of treasure authentication.The reason for his arrival in the city of Niumhi was to have Harvey York authenticate an extremely valuable relic.However, his appearance in the gym tonight was for the purposes of meeting up with an old friend rather than work. Rosalie Naiswell, who stood beside him all this time, wore a similarly displeased expression.From the room where they were in, they received a clear view of the boxing competition held down in the ring.Although they hailed from a respected lineage, occasions like this were no stranger to them. As a family well-known for working with antiques, there were ti

This was the most exclusive and highly anticipated segment of the underground boxing gym. Its primary purpose was to promote interaction between the boxers and the audience, giving the audience a chance to experience boxing in the ring. If they won, they would be able to leave with cash prizes. However, such an outcome was impossible.After all, they were merely spectators. How would it be possible for them to defeat professional boxers?“I’ll go up and play for a while, then.” Harvey York chuckled and donned a face mask. With a swing of his arm, he flipped into the boxing ring.“Seems we have a very brave and mysterious challenger here with us who wants to be the first to get punched.” The referee said with a wide grin. He couldn’t hide his look of disdain. What’s the point of putting on a mysterious act when you’d just end up on the ground with your blood splattered everywhere? The last time the referee saw a man with an iron man mask participate, that very same man ended up beate

As he observed Rosalie’s changing expressions, Liam Stone sniggered inwardly. He wasn’t dense enough to ignore the implication that Rosalie Naiswell may have a special relationship with the man who had just climbed into the ring. Thinking this, he saw hope in having her all to himself. Without anyone noticing, Liam Stone quickly texted something on his phone. Once finished, he glanced over at Rosalie Naiswell. If everything went according to plan, this beautiful woman would be his tonight.…Outside the boxing ring.Standing in the spectator wing, Tyson Woods was on pins and needles. Harvey York was simply out of his mind. Facing Liam Stone in person to make the deal was a far better option than whatever he was attempting right now. Perhaps Harvey York couldn’t understand the meaning of the word ‘death.’…In the boxing ring.Harvey York casually wrapped his fists with white bandages, his expression neutral and unperturbed.His opponent, the boxer, studied him with an amused s

As he ended his sentence, Liam Stone was unable to hide his look of disgust. The boxer who had just got knocked out by Harvey York was in truth a reputable fighter in this gym, having once won ten consecutive matches. Though he may not be the strongest, his skills were definitely on the upper level. To actually defeat him would pose quite the challenge. “Miss Naiswell, the next one up is no normal boxer. Do you have any words for me?”Liam Stone turned to watch Rosalie Naiswell attentively.Rosalie’s face went as pale as a sheet. She clenched her teeth and replied, “Liam Stone, your subordinate has just lost a match…”“That’s right, one of my men just lost. But since I have to let you enjoy a good show, I can’t let you down.” Liam Stone grinned. “How about this? If you want to say stop, you should do it at the right time. Or else, I can’t guarantee what will happen…” He picked up his phone and made a call. “Find a better one. This man is someone our VIP friends here know, so b

“That’s entirely possible. Back when I was in the capital city, I’ve witnessed something like this. True masters of his kind have immersed themselves in the world of martial arts for a very long time.” Shane Naiswell replied with a chuckle. “They might not be as good as what was often described in martial arts novels, but one person killing a hundred men isn’t simply a legend.” Liam Stone’s face turned a shade darker. The more Shane Naiswell’s interest grew, the more embarrassed Liam Stone became.Rosalie Naiswell couldn’t focus on anything the two were saying. Her mind was blown away.This man was simply extraordinary! Even two terrifying boxers couldn’t defeat him. He was definitely not an incompetent deadbeat. Yet, he willingly became a live-in son-in-law and allowed himself to be taunted by everyone in the city. Why?Was it truly because of a woman? But he hadn’t even touched his wife’s hand even after three years of marriage, had he?Rosalie Naiswell’s thoughts were a confus
