"That's right! Harvey crossed the line! How could he have attacked Ms. Haruka and even broken her hand in a place like that?""Not only have we made enemies of Hexagon Inc., but we have also crossed the Ito family!""We also have gathered information about you, Harvey. You're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, right? You've gotten used to dealing with every problem martially, right? You can't do that in the business world!""Your aggression would only bring disasters and malice toward the commercial group. It won't serve our interests at all!""Everyone, we have already decided to go along with Mr. Leighton's suggestion to invoke the unique procedure to dismiss Harvey from being the future chairman!"Many of the members of the board, who had been bribed last night, nodded in agreement. All of them said that what Harvey had done yesterday had completely broken the rules within the business world.Because of what Harvey had done, the commercial group had fallen into a
"I see…" Elric said as he squinted his eyes, leaning against the back of the chair. "Journi, it's nothing since Harvey didn't know how the commercial group works, and he might get a little aggressive. But you've been here for so many years, so shouldn't you know how business is conducted and how negotiations are made?"We are businessmen. Profit means everything to us. If he doesn't even know that, how is he supposed to lead the commercial group to glory? He hasn't become the chairman yet, but he has already caused the commercial group to be sniped by the Island Nation in all areas. If he really became chairman, how is he supposed to explain this to the members of the commercial group and the people of this country?" reasoned Elric with a justified tone.At the same time, Elric glanced at Harvey, saying he really wanted to help him, but what was he supposed to do when he was at such a disadvantage? "Harvey, I'm a little disappointed in you…""Disappointed? What for?" Before Journi c
It was obvious that Elric held a lot of resentment toward Harvey for becoming chairman legitimately. Many people there also nodded, saying that Harvey had to resign and leave in all sorts of manner.Harvey smiled dryly and said, "Oh, will you go back on your words in less than two days after supporting me, Mr. Elric? Is this your so-called sincerity?"Elric's expression did not change much as he said, "You're the one who caused all this, so of course you have to bear all the responsibilities! I promised that I would help you become chairman, I didn't promise to clean up every mess you've made, too! This isn't my fault.""That's right," replied Leighton with glee. "Since you've already caused this mess before even becoming chairman, what else can you do other than resign? If we let you continue things this way, the entire Country H Commercial Group will collapse!"This was the result that Leighton wanted to see. If Harvey had to leave, he would have a chance to become chairman. He w
"What? The Islanders are here?""Is Haruka here to stir up trouble?""Darn it! Don't tell me the Islanders are here to announce the commercial group's downfall?""Oh, no. Oh, no. Not only is Harvey going to die this time, all of us are going to get involved in this!"After a moment of silence, all the higher-ups in the commercial group could not control themselves anymore. All of them were shuddering as their faces turned pale, as if someone they loved had just died.It was apparent that they had believed the Islanders would not spare them this time. Even Elric's expression turned dark. It would be challenging to settle this after they had attracted the wrath of the Islanders."Ms. Ito. Mr. Miyamoto. This way, please!"When Elric and the others stood up straight on both sides, they could already see a group of Islanders walking in with pride. The one leading them was Haruka, who had her hand bandaged. Haruka was walking with her head up high, as if she would get her revenge toda
Elric implied that the person who crossed Haruka was Harvey alone, not the entire Country H Commercial Group. He had already lowered his head so much; she would not stir up trouble now, would she?"If only everyone is as eloquent as you, Mr. Elric. Unfortunately, there are those who not only don't know how to communicate, but they also don't understand how short their life can be!" said Haruka with a cold smile."That's why I'm afraid you have to give your support later on, Mr. Elric.""Haha! I'm glad I can be of your service, Ms. Haruka," replied Elric enthusiastically. "Just give the words. It doesn't matter if you have the ability or not; I will do my best if it's for you. No matter who offended you, Ms. Haruka, they also offended me!"Leighton also took a step forward with a laugh. "Our chairman is very selfless. Everyone will be judged fairly, no matter who he is. He will never bend the law for his own gain. Now, if you have any requests, just say it. We will complete it for y
"All you Islanders ever say are the same things," Harvey sighed. His expression became stern after a moment, and he ignored Haruka, whose expression had also turned into shock. Harvey said coldly, "Kneel."Before the others could react, Haru's leg gave way, and he knelt on the ground. He only had fear for Harvey, who was able to crush all four other Martial Arts Alliances and make the Country H Martial Arts Alliance one of the five great directors of the Martial Arts Alliances.When the others saw that one word from Harvey was enough to make Haru kneel, all others could only leave their mouths wide open.The colors on the faces of Leighton and the others turned pale as they were unsure what kind of expression they should show at that moment.Elric's heart skipped a beat. He believed he had misjudged Harvey's identity and power within the Martial Arts Alliance. While Journi was shocked as well, she was not all that surprised. That was because Harvey had given her too many surprises
As Haru made his final plea, he immediately stood up and kicked Haruka to the ground. Then, he gave her a few slaps."You witch! Mr. Harvey has already shown you mercy by just breaking your hand! How dare you stir up trouble targeting him! I'm telling you, no matter how he wants to punish you today, let him punish you! Accept it without resistance! I'll kill you myself if you resist!"Haru kept glancing at Haruka when he had his back against Harvey. This fool… Why did she offend such a person? Other than Shinto Way, all the younger generations of the other five schools had already been obliterated by him. Even a few sword saints from the older generation lost to him!The only reason Shingen believed he had the power to go against Harvey this time was because he had made a lot of preparations. He had gambled 30 years of the Island Nation's fate on this. But he really could not. Not to mention, Haru also believed if he dared to speak on Haruka's behalf, Harvey would immediately kill h
"Alright, Haru…" Harvey said calmly. "Enough with the courtesy. Out of all the Islanders I know, you're one of the few who knows what's good for them."Haru was briefly delighted. "You must be joking, Mr. Harvey. We Islanders love the culture of Country H. Of course, we know what it means to make the right decision at the right time. You can do whatever you like today."Harvey smiled and looked at Haruka, who was already kneeling on the floor. "Looks like you didn't take what I said yesterday seriously. Come now, show me the finger you've just used to point at me…"Haruka wept as she extended her left hand. Harvey calmly said, "Haru already said that not only must we admit to our mistakes, but we should also accept our punishment. So… My apologies."Even before Harvey finished his sentence, he had already reached out his hand and grabbed Haruka by her finger. There was a snap, and Haruka's face turned pale as she shuddered in pain. However, she did not dare to show a hint of viciou
