“Everything seems to be fine after I went to Las Vegas and Hong Kong, but now, we’ve gathered one important piece of information…”“These people would come for my close ones just to kill me.”“Right now, Mandy’s their best target.”“I need to give them the wrong impression. They need to know that I’m scared.”“They’ll start to think that I was forced to divorce Mandy. They’ll even think that there’s a huge gap between us after what happened in Las Vegas and Hong Kong. I’m sure everyone who’s targeting me will be very happy to hear this, no?”“Only then will the cracks in Las Vegas and Hong Kong start to show…”Tyson froze.“I get it now. But, about Mordu…” Tyson began quietly.“Give Ethan a call. Tell me that he’s in charge of the Zimmer family’s safety.”“He’s a God of War. He should be able to deal with something this small,” Harvey explained.“Another thing. Get me a visiting card.”“I’ll go see Las Vegas’ first-in-command, Paul Mendoza himself, tomorrow.”…Twelve at m
The square-faced man tapped Lilian’s face lightly, grinning. “Interesting. We thought you were just some brain-dead woman, but it looks like you do have some insight after all. At least, I’m a little moved by your words.”“It’s a shame that neither you nor I get to decide whether you live or die...”Lilian’s body trembled in fright.“Please, sir! Be the bigger person and let me go!”“H-how about this? I have another few hundred million dollars worth of private money. I’ll split half of it with you!”The man with a square face didn’t respond. He stood up and chuckled coldly, and then dialed a number on his phone.“We found Lilian, Master York. She’s still alive.”“Looks like the Briewood Gang kept her alive for ransom.”“What should we do next? According to my intel, that man’s already interrogated Sister Thirteen overnight. He’ll be here soon.”“Why don’t we set things up here and give him a big surprise?”“Kill her.”A frosty tone sounded from the other side of the phone.
‘Is he even human?!’‘He’s already this good of a fighter at such a young age. It’s terrifying!’The square-faced man found himself terrified to the bones.No wonder his superior wanted him to be careful when going against Harvey York! If he missed his chance, he would’ve had no way out of the situation.Everything right now was too terrifying for him!This was The square-faced man’s evaluation of Harvey.But before he could say anything, Harvey kicked down another man who had rushed toward him.Other than Lilian, there were only four men left standing behind the square-faced man.“You’re pretty impressive, Harvey!” he said, sizing up Harvey.“I’ll admit that I’m not your opponent.”“But your end is already set in stone!”The square-faced man took a few steps back, then pulled Lilian up before removing her blindfold.“Break your arms and leave, Sir York! If not, I’ll end her life right now!” he exclaimed furiously.Lilian immediately came to her senses after her blindfold
“If anything happens to me, I’ll chase you down even if I turn into a damn ghost!”“You have to divorce Mandy no matter what! I won’t let her keep you ever again!” Lilian continued to screech.“I think you should just do as you’re told and chop off your arms already, Harvey.”The square-faced man grinned, as if he had realized something.“If you don’t, how are you supposed to live up to your wife and mother-in-law’s expectations?”“You of all people should know that we’re doing so much just to cripple you.”“Your mother-in-law’s just a means to get there. It doesn’t matter if she lives or dies!”“I swear to God that if you chop off both your arms, I’ll let your mother-in-law go this instant!”“If I break my promise, then I’ll die without a burial spot!”Naturally, the square-faced man understood that he was no match for Harvey after witnessing Harvey’s fighting skills first hand.His only hope as of now was to use Lilian to suppress Harvey.If Harvey were to cripple himself,
Harvey laughed.“I’m here to make sure she’s dead. I planned for her to die in your hands, too.”“Only then will the Zimmer family let me off the hook.”“Of course, when she’s dead, I’ll destroy you all as well. That way, no one will know what happened here.”“Everyone will call me a hero for getting revenge for my mother-in-law!”“Mandy would be so happy with me, she might even sleep with me!”“Hurry up already! I can’t wait!”Harvey pretended to look exhilarated, as if he wanted Lilian dead then and there.The square-faced man froze.“Do you really think I’d believe you, Harvey York?!” he said, though he did show some hesitation. “I’ve seen your files! You…”“Bastard! You bastard! You filthy kept man! You deserve to die!!!” Lilian suddenly yelled furiously, not giving the other two time to talk.“I was blind to have let my daughter marry such an ungrateful prick!”“Let me tell you something! I won’t let you go even if I turn into a ghost!”“I swear to God, I’ll make yo
He knew that his only way of survival was to control Harvey through Lilian.Without that, he would die without a doubt!Harvey’s skills were utterly terrifying. Ordinary people wouldn’t even begin to comprehend that sort of power.The square-faced man was about to put more pressure on his knife, wanting to slit Lilian’s windpipe in one go.Swish!Harvey’s face changed at that moment. He leaned his body forward, appearing right in front of Lilian as he thrust the blade in his hands.Bang!There was a deafening sound, and the entire place seemed to freeze.Harvey’s right hand was placed against Lilian’s stomach, and the knife was planted deeply in her abdomen.The square-faced man behind her couldn’t cut right into Lilian’s throat any longer; and the knife stabbed right into his heart.He couldn’t believe that Harvey would kill him like this.Harvey had Lilian as a meat shield, after all!Did he really not care about Lilian’s survival?Bang!Right as the square-faced man br
Soon, two doctors that were already prepared by Matthew rushed forward to give Lilian first aid before putting her onto the stretcher.Mandy looked at Harvey with a gaze filled with despair. She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t.Not only did she have to worry about her mother, but she also needed to fix the problems regarding the Casino-Palace and the Jean family’s ninth branch.She didn’t think that this would be the first thing she would see when she reunited with her mother.She couldn’t accept it!Harvey took a deep breath.“Listen to me, Mandy,” he began quietly.“I did this to save Mom. She’s my mother-in-law, no matter what happens.”“Just now…”Before Harvey could finish his sentence, Matthew walked forward with a grin. “You must be shameless, Prince York!”“Madam Yates got kidnapped because of you! It’s bad enough that you didn’t give your best to save her…”“But you even tried to kill her during all that?!”“If we didn’t come here in time, Madam Yates wou
“That’s because my daughter’s fast! If she’s a little late, I would’ve been dead!”Lilian started to make threatening gestures.“Right, where’s my bag?! I have the divorce papers there! Quick! Get this murderer to sign it!”“These are my last words here! Even if I die, I won’t let you two stay together!”Matthew made a gesture while Lilian was screaming up a storm. His subordinates found a Hermes bag in the corner and took out a wrinkly set of papers for Mandy.Mandy held the papers tightly, a pained look on her face. She signed her name on it, trembling.She gritted her teeth before handing the divorce papers to Harvey.“Sign it, Harvey!”Harvey sighed.“Do you really not trust me?”“Have you never once thought about what he’s thinking to bring you here at such perfect timing?”“He took you all the way here from Las Vegas, right on time to see me kill Lilian.”“Do you honestly think this is all just a coincidence?”“Or are you saying that you don’t even trust me?!”“I th
