"You old fool… You're still threatening others at a time like this," Harvey walked over to Wilhelm, disdain in his eyes. "Do you think I wouldn't dare to hit you after I've hit Donald?"Right after Harvey said that, he immediately slapped Wilhelm's face. While Wilhelm was an expert himself, his skills were useless before Harvey. Harvey's attack was simple, but Wilhelm somehow felt he could block it; however, the attack immediately fell his Wilhelm's face. He was in so much pain that he shuddered."Argh!" When Wilhelm finally realized what had happened, he held his face. He was furious and upset. "You bastard! How dare you hit my face! You…"Harvey slapped him again. "So what if I hit your face? Do you think there's anything special about you that I should hit your face? If it isn't because you're asking for it, I wouldn't even hit you. Don't you know why this is happening?"Liza and the others looked down on Harvey even more when they saw Harvey humiliate someone like Wilhelm as
If a veteran threatened Wilhelm, he wouldn't be too worried. The underworld wasn't all about violence—it was about relationships as well. No matter what people did, they wouldn't push it too far so they would have some space to bargain with in the future.However, a youth like Harvey was different. He didn't care about being patient, which meant that he could really kill Wilhelm. The moment that thought crossed his mind, Wilhelm had no choice but to suppress the regrets inside of him. The corner of his eyes twitched, and he muttered with great difficulty, "I'm sorry, Harvey.""Ha! While your apologies are worth nothing, I can let you go for Dragon Palace's sake." Harvey took out another paper towel and, after wiping his fingers, wiped the cold sweat off Wilhelm's forehead. "You better remember this. If you see me next time, you better kneel on the side. That way, I will pretend not to see you. Understand?"Wilhelm's face twitched, but he knew there was no point in escalating this
"I know." Charlotte nodded slightly. "But sir, while Donald's action is quite depraved, he does represent the martial arts community beyond our country. These people are very powerful. Not only do they have powerful economic backing, they have even combined their powers with other factions that are against our country."Normally, our country is soft on them. But after what you did today, our relationship has broken down entirely."It was obvious that Charlotte still wanted Harvey to act less rashly. While it felt good doing so, they might hurt themselves in the process."Broken down?" Harvey smiled. "Can't you see? Donald and his entourage have already forgotten their ancestors. It doesn't matter who's behind them, whether it's Country A or the Island Nations. It's easy to see they're all aligned with Shinto Way."In this situation, it's either I surrender and kneel before Shinto Way, or sever my relationship with them. There's no third path other than these two, understand? Since
"Understood. I will arrange everything right now." Charlotte quickly nodded. "Meanwhile, should we send a few more people to keep an eye on Wilhelm? While Donald is difficult to deal with, most of his influence lies overseas. He has no foundation in our country, so there's a limit to how difficult he can be."However, Wilhelm is different. He's a Wolsing local. If he wants revenge after getting angry again, it'll be very, very complicated."Harvey smiled. "You can handle that too, but the people you use must be quite smart. They should remain hidden if they can't get any information, since there will be plenty of skilled people around them. Aside from their men, there most likely will be Islanders…"Charlotte was slightly stunned before nodding. It was just like Harvey had said. It wouldn't matter much if they sent people to keep an eye on them, but if anything happened to her people…It would be difficult!"Alright. Let's stop here tonight." Harvey stood up and put the teacup dow
"You used her phone to reply to my messages?" Harvey frowned slightly.Realizing she had blurted the truth out, the woman on the other side of the call said, "I'm Rita. We met back in Buckwood. I'm Yvonne's sister-in-law. Anything wrong with me responding to her messages on her behalf?""If she's alright, I wish she could tell me that herself," Harvey said sternly. "I'm afraid that won't be possible," Rita said calmly. "Yvonne's going to get married soon. The Xavier of Wolsing is a very traditional family. If she's going to get married, she can't see any men other than her fiancé. So you can forget about it.""Yvonne's marrying?" Harvey was shocked. "Why have I never heard about it? Let's see. I'll visit your family later on. If Yvonne's willing to marry, I'll give her my blessings without any issues. If not…""What do you mean, 'if not'? What rights do you have to interfere with our family matters?" Rita was somehow furious when she heard what Harvey had to say. "Do you know
When Harvey saw that number, he thought it was Rita again. He gave it a thought and picked it up anyway. Before he could say anything, a woman's noble voice came from the other side. "Your number is so hard to find, Harvey! What? You won't even give me a call when you're in Wolsing?"Harvey was stunned when he heard that voice. "Princess Wright?"Even he didn't expect that Sienna would personally call him at a time like this.Sienna smiled. "It's me, but I'm not in Wolsing until recently. I'm back today and I already heard about how you're challenging the Islanders again. You're going to battle at the Apex of the Forbidden City in the full moon. Are you going to do what you did at Flutwell again and humiliate them too?"Harvey smiled. "You must be joking. The Islanders are already humiliating us. As the Country H Martial Arts Alliance's representative, how can I not do anything? Then again, I don't think this will go as planned, because…"Just then, a shrill tone pierced his e
When Rita saw Harvey walking toward him, there was disdain on her face. It wasn't the first time she had met Harvey. However, she now looked at Harvey with even more disdain than the time she saw him back in Buckwood a few years ago.When Harvey was at Buckwood, he was the most powerful man then. While Rita didn't like him, even she had to admit that Harvey had quite the talent.But ever since the so-called number one of Buckwood came to Wolsing, he became just another fish in the ocean. In Wolsing, when scions of powerful families walked around in plain sight, Rita couldn't understand what was so special about Harvey.At this time, the woman with the short hair also noticed Harvey. She glanced at Harvey, and her eyes were instantly filled with scorn. "Don't tell me this is the man from South Light that Yvonne had a relationship with, Rita? Yvonne's taste really is quite something. Does she like someone like this? She's ruining the reputation of a top family like ours."It was ob
Harvey laughed, caring little. He was not interested in women who wanted nothing but power and wealth."What? Cat got your tongue? You don't have a response?" The long-haired woman looked at Harvey with scorn. "Let me warn you! Even if this isn't about Yvonne, Wolsing is not a place where a country bumpkin like you can show yourself. I find it hard to believe how blind Yvonne must be to become your secretary. Even if she wants to experience life, there's no need for her to humiliate herself like this, right?"The long-haired woman shook her head and sighed with a face full of disbelief. It was as if the choice Yvonne made had completely ruined the Xaviers of Wolsing's reputation. As the three women continued to taunt Harvey, a well-dressed waitress came over with a cart. Then, she served each of the women their meal. Even before the dome was opened, a sweet scent was already permeating from under the dome.While the meals inside looked quite simple, they were all very exquisite.
