The following day was a beautiful sunny day with no clouds.In a hunting ground in Wolsing's countryside, a sightseeing electric vehicle was slowly moving forward.Leighton, who was in the passenger's seat, turned around and said coldly, "Harvey, Journi. Since you dare to accept my challenge, I'm not afraid to accept the consequences."I've already made an appointment for you with Ms. Haruka Ito, the representative of Hexagon Inc. She will give us ten minutes. If you can convince her to give up their investment in Country H Commercial Group completely within ten minutes, then I'll donate everything I have today and leave without any complaints."If you can't do this today, then I'm sorry, but you'll have to resign later tonight." He lit up his cigar and huffed out a smoke circle, a fake smile plastered on his face.After Leighton had issued the challenge last night, he did something after he went home. Upon midnight, he gave Harvey a call and said he would make an appointment wi
Harvey glanced at Leighton and smiled. "Thank you for caring about me, Leighton. Unfortunately, what you hope will happen later will never happen. If I were you, I'd make a call and have someone move my assets or something. Otherwise, all you might have left when you lose is the clothes on your back."It was obvious Leighton knew more than he let on. His eyes glinted as he smiled coldly. "Fine. Since you're that confident, I hope everything will go well for you later!"Leighton then ignored Harvey and quietly pulled out his phone, sending out a text. He was currently quite pleased. He was one of the hidden pawns for a scion who left for Dark Island all those years ago.A lot of people believed Leighton was also backed by the Islanders. The truth was that his biggest backer was the Dark Island's Serpent King, who would return as a king after owning a large dominion in Dark Island!According to Leighton's understanding, not only was the Dark Island's Serpent King wealthy, but he wa
"I'm too late, but I swear in front of you, I will take that man's head as an offering for you at the end of your Period of Mourning. Harvey York will die!" Nicholas, who had been fighting in Dark Island for five years, exuded a murderous aura. It was enough to make the temperature around them drop."Serpent King, there is no doubt that Harvey York will die, but please don't forget your orders!" said the man behind Nicholas. "Harvey has ruined Evermore's plans again and again. As Evermore's Serpent King in the Dark Island, you must clear Evermore's humiliation upon your return to Wolsing."Aside from killing him, make all of his women yours. Make all that belonged to him yours. You will make him lose everything and die suffering. Anything else will be insufficient to show the power of Evermore.""Are you telling me how to do things?" Nicholas slowly stood up and glanced at the man behind him. Even if he was one of the rules of Dark Island's criminal world, he couldn't help but shu
Leighton put on a bold face as he walked over and bowed a little when he saw Haruka approaching them. "Ms. Haruka, I know today is Hexagon Inc.'s team-building exercise. Outsiders like us shouldn't be here, but our chairman Mr. Harvey York wishes to discuss something with you. That's why we're here.""Discuss? What's there to be discussed?" Haruka scoffed. "Have you forgotten that Hexagon Inc. is Country H Commercial Group's largest shareholder? I can say that we're your boss. This so-called chairman is, at most, a living sign. At worst? He's just another one of our employees. What's there to discuss?"Leighton smiled. "He wishes for your company to withdraw all your investments from the group…""I refuse," Haruka said without even giving Harvey a look. "If there's nothing else, leave. Get out of my sight.""Ms. Haruka Ito, is it?" Harvey said with a calm smile as he narrowed his eyes. "I checked last night, and your company has used multiple channels to obtain the group's shares.
"The last Islander who dared to speak to me like that got in a coffin for a long time," Harvey said with a dry smile. The entire atmosphere cooled down when the Islanders what Harvey had said. Their expressions were especially gloomy.It was Hexagon Inc.'s team-building exercise today. For saying something like that in a place like this, Harvey wasn't showing any respect to the Islanders and Hexagon Inc. Nicholas, who was standing in the corner discreetly, revealed a cold smile. In an instant, he put down the wine glass in his hand and walked over, filled with murderous intent.A woman like Haruka was difficult to obtain. Even a warrior from the Dark Island like Nicholas had to use everything he knew to be able to get to her. To save her in a place like this… The effects would more than double. Originally, Nicholas was going to start a fight with Harvey. An opportunity like this was more than suitable."Enough! Why are you so bold to speak to Ms. Haruka in such a manner?" Nich
Everyone around Harvey and Nicholas looked at them oddly. To outsiders like them, they would never place any importance on those who looked up to them. The scorn in their smiles became even more apparent when Harvey humiliated Nicholas completely.To them, what was happening right now was like a scene out of a prison fight where the criminals were fighting each other.On the other hand, Haruka couldn't help but laugh. She didn't feel ashamed when someone so loyal to her would say anything to get her approval, even if he got humiliated. She simply found it all laughable.In truth, Haruka had never regarded her bodyguard as someone on equal footing. He was humiliating his own country. This had nothing to do with the Island Nation, right?Nicholas didn't know that Haruka was laughing at him. He assumed Haruka was happy because he stepped in and saved her.He turned around and smiled at Haruka. His expression was basically saying that if anyone wanted to hurt her, he would have to wal
Harvey looked at Nicholas who was making a show in front of him like he was looking at an idiot.Haruka stepped forward icily and immediately slapped Nicholas. There was a loud sound, and her expression remained just as cold. "Do you think you can call me by my first name? You're just a bodyguard who earns less than 400 dollars a month, so stop acting in front of me! I hired you to work here, not to act cool! Now, scram! Right now!"Haruka originally wanted to get rid of Harvey and his entourage at the speed of light. However, this bodyguard was simply making her feel disgusted as she looked at him acting cool and wanting to save her. She was no fool, and quickly understood why Nicholas wanted to do it.This was why she hated the men from Country H the most. Did the bodyguard believe he had a chance with her? What a joke!However, Haruka's attitude was enough to make Nicholas reveal an even more mischievous smile. When he was in Dark Island, he had pursued plenty of daughters of
Nicholas turned around and disappeared very quickly. Before he left, his icy gaze fell on Harvey for a moment. Harvey raised his eyebrow. This Serpent King of Dark Island probably had to have some kind of psychological issue, right?The scene was over quickly.Haruka turned her attention to Harvey once more and asked coldly, "Why haven't you left yet?"Harvey shuddered. "I didn't leave out of disgust even when your loyal hound tried to disgust me, so how can I leave before I succeed?"Haruka gave him a cold look and sneered, as if she had just remembered something funny. She judged Harvey for a moment before saying, "Leighton told me everything about you. You're quite impressive for still refusing to surrender at this juncture. That's fine, then. I'll stop playing around and give you a chance."You want me to withdraw all the Island Nation's investment? I can do that! Crawl on the ground and bark like a dog. With every round you make, I'll withdraw 10 percent of my investment. I
