After hanging up, Teresa looked at Harvey apologetically and said softly, “I’m afraid I can’t treat you to a drink today, Harvey. Something happened, and I have to deal with it right now.”From the phone call alone, Harvey could tell it was something urgent.“What happened? Tell me about it. Maybe I can help,” Harvey asked without realizing it.Teresa’s face changed slightly. She then brought Harvey into the presidential suite and poured him a cup of water.“It’s really nothing that serious,” Teresa said, sighing.“I established my own company that’s focused on import and export businesses.”“This time around, we imported some high quality Red Tea to Las Vegas.”“Because of historical reasons, people here adore Red Tea. That’s why the sales of Red Tea have been quite good.”“Then, we partnered up with a small business here that’s backed up by the Hamilton family.”“There weren’t any problems during the early stages of the partnership. In fact, they already paid thirty percent

The men in sunglasses glanced over, their faces fierce, the second they realized that people were here.However, Teresa spared them no attention. She completely ignored them, moving past them as she took Harvey into the warehouse.Inside the warehouse, several citizens of Country H could be seen bound tightly.A roguish man clad in a flowery shirt, with a cigar dangling in his hand, was pointing at the shelves behind him while shouting coarsely.“Look at this! What the hell are these supplies?!”“They’re all rotting tea leaves with a foul smell! How am I supposed to sell them to my customers?!”“Because we didn’t find out about this sooner, I’ve already sold a batch to one of my customers! They’re demanding us to pay for their losses right now!”“Your company is truly evil! How dare you try to fool us on our first partnership?!”“Do you have a death wish?!”“Get your boss here right now! If you can’t give me a proper explanation, I’ll chop off all your limbs and feed you to th

Several men outside walked in with cold smiles, their eyes glaring at Teresa the way a wolf that had spotted prey would.Teresa’s expression changed slightly at their sudden appearance.“Are you serious, CEO Hamilton?” she asked coldly.“I am! I’m as serious as ever! If I lie to you, may my entire family be struck by lightning!”The roguish man swore an oath.“But! If you even do so much as to spit the tea out, I’m afraid it won’t be as easy as paying for damages. When that happens, you’ll have to compensate with your body as well!”His men, who were surrounding the place, chuckled coldly. They looked at Teresa with lustful stares.Teresa took the teacup, face full of disgust, and prepared herself.But at the most crucial moment, Harvey slapped the teacup away from her hand and let it fall to the ground.“What’s the point in you strong men bullying a young lady?”“Aren’t you embarrassed about trying to fool someone with tea leaves that have been rotting for at least twenty ye

Slap!Harvey’s movements were as quick as lightning, and he swung his backhand with a speed invisible to human eyes.“Are you sure you don’t want to talk about this?”Slap!“You know exactly what happened to this tea, don’t you?”Slap!“And yet, you have the guts to ask for compensation? Do you really think you’re allowed to do as you please just because we’re in Las Vegas?”The roguish man was completely dazed after being slapped around so much.When Harvey lifted the man up by his collar, his face had become completely bruised and swollen.“You… H-how dare you hit me?! Do you know who I am?!”“I’m a member of the Hamilton family!”“If you go against me, you’re going against the entire family!”“You’re going against the entirety of Las Vegas!”“You’re dead, kid! Not just you, your entire family’s done for!”“We’ll feed you to the fishes and get that woman behind you to serve customers at Sky Casino-Palace! Her life will be a living hell…! Heh, heh, heh!” Even after get

“Thank you, Young Master Flynn. I’ll be sure to thank you properly once the situation has been resolved,” Teresa replied quietly, and then glanced at the roguish man.“Where is everyone meeting tonight?”“Sky Casino-Palace.”“The Emperor’s Diner!”The tone on the other side of the phone was quite condescending.“Seven o’clock at night. You better be here on time, CEO Thompson! Don’t be late!”“Another thing. The Third Young Master said that he’ll let you off the hook for getting his men beaten up, all for my sake.”“You can take your staff members away for now.”“But you should think hard on how you should be thanking him!”“Thank you, Young Master Flynn. I’ll be there on time. Please say some good things about me when everyone’s there.”After hanging up the call, the roguish man’s phone rang. He spoke to the phone for a moment, before showing Teresa a wretched smile.“You’re pretty lucky to have Young Master Flynn’s support, CEO Thompson.”“The Third Young Master will give

Teresa stepped on the gas and drove as she explained her situation.“After I graduated from university two years ago, I went back home.”“My family wanted me to marry a rich playboy from an ancient family as a sacrificial tool. It was an arranged marriage.”“But I declined. I told them all that I want to live my own life, and that I have my own goals to strive for. I’m not their prisoner! They can’t just tell me what to do.”“I’d rather die than to be forced into marriage.”“And so, my family gave me a chance and made a deal with me.”“They would give me seventy-five thousand dollars to establish my own business.”“If I’m able to double the money within three years without any help from my family, I’ll regain my freedom.”“But if I can’t, I’ll have to marry that rich playboy and be my family’s sacrifice.”“Of course, my family won’t cause me any trouble during the process.”“I accepted the deal, but I only realized that everything wasn’t as simple as I thought once I started

It was just past lunch time when the two arrived at Sky Casino-Palace. There was still some time before the evening banquet.Harvey slipped out of the presidential suite, with the excuse that he wanted to expand his horizons in the casinos downstairs.He snuck inside the staff’s changing room and put on a waiter’s uniform he found there. Then, he started roaming around the guest room area.Judging from the angle, background, and the layout of the room as seen in the picture, Harvey was sure that Lilian was held hostage in the guest room area’s middle floors.From that height, the night view of Las Vegas would be visible.In addition, guests would usually be busy checking out of their rooms during the afternoon.After surveying the guest room area, he deduced that the eighth guest room on the eighteenth floor was most likely the place Lilian was held hostage.Harvey stood in front of the room, frowning. Thick dust covered the carpet of the entire floor. No one had come to clean u

However, the only top family in Las Vegas was the Hamiltons.The Hamiltons had been managing Las Vegas so well, without any loopholes.Moreover, there were no grudges between him and the Hamiltons. Thus, why Hong Kong?“No!”Harvey York suddenly understood.It wasn’t because of him but because Mandy Zimmer would surely come to Las Vegas for gambling business.Indeed, this setup was designed for him, but their entry point was always directed toward Mandy Zimmer.Then, the ones who arranged all that, was it the Jean family of Mordu, the Hamiltons from Las Vegas, or those old acquaintances who he had not met for a long time?Harvey took a deep breath. His gaze then fell on the building opposite the Casino-Palace.Some problems could be solved easily as long as he could capture the sniper who was shooting him at the moment.Pff, pff, pfff. Just as Harvey was pondering things, several sounds came out again!Apparently, the sniper had already spotted Harvey, and all those shots la
