"Settle the score? What score is there to be settled?" asked Yvonne as she glared at Linus' face."Stop with the act. Of course there is," Linus blew a ring of smoke at Yvonne's face. "Your branch has conspired against us and stolen all the Xaviers' assets. And now, you're going to pretend it never happened? It's not going to be that easy."The reason I'm coming back this time is to warn you. You can either give us back the Xaviers of Wolsing, or I'll forcibly take it back. However, when I do make my move, the entire process wouldn't be that pleasant."Yvonne chuckled and said, "Your things? When your branch left the country, the entire country only left us a single bread. Everything the Xaviers of Wolsing had right now was built using our own two hands. What does this even have to do with you? Whether through logic or the law, what we have now has nothing to do with you. And now, you said you want everything? Who gave you that kind of bravery?"Linus laughed. "Do you think I'll co
"Evidence working with Islanders?" A glint flashed through Yvonne's eyes. "What do you mean?"Jesse also added, "Everything you've presented is just typical business contracts. The Xaviers' businesses are spread throughout the globe, so there's nothing unusual about what you've just shown.While he was saying that, Jesse clenched his right hand slightly. These were some of the contracts they had signed in order to drag Shinto Way into the mud. After what had happened last night, they were supposed to be all destroyed.However, for some reason, there were photos of these contracts in Linus' possession. It was problematic, true, but not exactly serious.Even Harvey put down his cup. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen, and his expression became somewhat serious. Nashon was the same, and the wrinkle on his forehead became even more profound.Linus laughed, noticing everyone's change in expression, and told the lawyer to start showing more photos. As the lawyer did that, Lin
Listening to Linus' gloat, Yvonne's expression slightly darkened. "You're shameless, Linus! Using fabricated evidence to threaten us!""Fabricated?" Linus shrugged. "You know best whether these things actually exist or not. I don't care what your aims are, but aren't you the ones signing these contracts? Don't tell me I'm the one signing it?"All I want to do is to reveal the truth, and you suddenly can't take it anymore? All I did was gently remind you that you, Xaviers of Wolsing, were born and raised here in Country H."What, scared? But I remember there's a saying. A clean hand wants no washing. But do you really think you're clean? Maybe, after I expose these secrets, I might be able to help your country find a family that also has many traitors within it."Linus snickered after he said that, looking as despicable as possible."We can explain everything from the beginning to the end," Jesse could not help but reply as he looked at how despicable Linus was. "If worse comes to
"Fine, let's stop wasting our breaths now," Linus said as if he had lost his patience. He immediately stubbed out the cigar in his hand and squinted his eyes as he looked at Yvonne. "I'll give you one day. At this time tomorrow, I want to see all the Xaviers of Wolsing kneel before me and all your assets tallied."You and you. Wait for me in my presidential suite tomorrow night," ordered Linus, pointing at Yvonne and Sia. If you miss even one of them, then Wolsing no longer needs a Xavier family."After that, Linus gave a despicable smile and waved his hand, wanting to take everyone with him and leave. Everyone from the Xavier family could only watch with dark expressions. Yvonne and Sia's faces were red with anger."I don't think we have to wait until tomorrow," Harvey stood up with his hands behind his back. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the shareholders. And I believe I have enough say regarding this. There's nothing wrong if you want to take something back from the X
Argh!Linus got smacked so hard that he was stunned. He opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of blood, and there was a yellow tooth in it. It was quite a terrifying sight. At the same time, half of Linus's face was already swollen.He was utterly surprised.No one would dare do anything like this to him in Country A's elite social circle, even counting those conglomerates who were against each other. At least on the surface, they were all fake and harmonious. But now, someone completely ignored the rules and slapped him directly?This was not something acceptable!Linus immediately raised his head in anger and stared at Harvey. "Darn you! How dare you hit me? Do you have a death wish?"Slap!Harvey did not waste his time and replied. "So what if I hit you?"Slap!"Is your skin thick? Will it hurt my hand?"Slap!Harvey did not stop and slapped him dozens of times using the front and back of his open palm. Linus was beaten to the point that his face was completely bruised. In
"What's going on here? Do you really think there are no laws here? Who dares to start a fight in the middle of the day?" asked the leading officer.Linus gritted his teeth and glanced at Harvey. "See that man? He hit me! I even lost a few teeth! Catch him! Why are you still standing there?! I'm a guest from Country A! If I'm injured and you don't take care of me, my country is going to make you pay!"All Linus wanted to do right now was to kill Harvey immediately, especially when he remembered how Harvey had slapped his face and he even lost a few teeth.But when the officers heard this was a diplomatic issue, they glanced at each other. It could be complicated to deal with, and their professional lives would be over if they did anything wrong. That was why all the officers wanted to leave and inform the Dragon Palace, one of the Four Pillars dealing with international issues."Officers, what's the big deal with fighting," Harvey said at this time. "At most, you can put me in jail
Jesse asked a maid to bring over a tablet. Only one video was playing: the video of Linus pulling out his gun. When they saw this, all the officers narrowed their eyes and exchanged looks.The leading officer immediately said, "Alright. Please bring Mr. Linus and the others back to the precinct first. We'll properly interrogate them back there."After that, the leading officer looked at Harvey and said, "I don't care if you're the victim, Mr. Harvey, but you'll need to go back and be investigated. We won't simply frame anyone, but we won't let any criminal go free.""That's fine. I'll accept however you want to investigate this," replied Harvey, with a shrug, as if he had nothing to lose.Six in the evening.The lawyer the Xaviers hired managed to get Harvey out on bail. While Harvey attacked first, his attack was not excessive. Linus and the genetic fighters did not suffer any serious injuries, so he could leave after paying bail of about half a million.Meanwhile, Linus and his
"Send out our men and use all our contacts and spies in the Island Nation. We must find all the originals and copies of the contracts we've signed with the Islanders and destroy all the evidence immediately. We must do it quickly and destroy them before Linus is released. If we can't, the problem we face will be worse than anything we can imagine," said Nashon with a stern expression.Harvey narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me help as well. Yvonne knows Sky Corporation very well. Let me know if you need Sky Corporation's ability or my help. While we seemed to face only Country A Xavier Inc., everything was too much of a coincidence."I believe this might be a continuation of what happened to the Shinto Way. The people behind all of this had to be from Country A. Not only is he aiming to throw this family into chaos, but he might also be aiming to throw the entire country into chaos. That's why we have to be quick, and we must achieve it. We must control the risk and losses to be as l
