Chapter 7020
But Clarion didn't care about Neve's signal despite how much he liked her.He simply looked straight at Dan and said slowly, "It's my fault to come here without an invitation, but I have a reason to do so! Something's making me unable to hold myself back! I hope you can give me an explanation…"Clarion pulled out his phone and tapped open a news article, putting it in front of Dan. When Neve saw how Clarion dared to question Dan directly, her expression darkened. She instinctively glanced at the content, and her eyes twitched. While Dan did say that he would pin the blame on Clarion, she didn't expect that Dan would make Clarion take the fall for everything.Neve was smart enough to see the truth—someone was doing this to get back at Dan, and Clarion was only taking the fall. However, she didn't say it out loud so as not to complicate matters. Dan didn't reply and simply asked curiously, "Why do you think that this is my doing and not that Harvey you've aligned with right now?
Chapter 7021
Dan looked nonchalant. Feigning sincerity, he said calmly to Clarion, "I have two reasons for doing this. "Firstly, I want to prevent this matter from affecting others. Since you've already been dragged into the mud, it's better for you to take the fall alone and protect everyone else. Secondly, it's clear that Harvey York is the one who has offended Sky Plane and you're simply taking the fall for him. I did this so I could anger Harvey."I've already thought of a solution to resolve this issue for you. All you need to do now is to release a statement clarifying that the person Sky Plane is really going for is Harvey. Criticize him, and the public opinion should shift in your favor."You should trust us. Public opinion is still ours to control," Dan said confidently. He shrugged, as if he had everything under control. "There's no way Harvey will survive this unscathed. I've already received news that Origin Sword Style's Sverker and Origin Ninjutsu's Ghostface had left Sky Plan
Chapter 7022
Hearing that, Neve was well aware of Clarion's frustration. If things were to continue like this, Clarion would become Dan's puppet even if he remained unscathed.Dan likely intended to stabilize his social circle and prevent Clarion from aligning with Harvey. For some reason, Neve felt that forcing Clarion in such a manner might not be beneficial."Alright, Clarion. We're all adults here," Poisonless said with a smile, trying to ease the tension. "All of us here know full well of your calculations. While you've been with Dan all these years, you have never fully dedicated yourself to him. You acted like a fencesitter so that when the time comes, you can place your bets on someone else."And now, instead of holding you responsible over what happened in the past, Dan is giving you a chance to redeem yourself. By sacrificing your reputation, you'll be able to regain his full trust. No matter how you look at it, it's a good deal."Also, do you honestly believe it's mere coincidence
Chapter 7023
Hearing the sincerity in Dan's voice, Clarion was at a sudden loss for words. He had said so much and did nothing wrong, but why must he be the one to take the fall?Did they know nothing about the meaning of forever?No… They knew—they knew exactly what was happening here.Clarion had a feeling that if he took these accusations upon himself, there was only one path waiting for him—an extremely painful death.Coming to this realization, Clarion took a deep breath and said slowly, " I'll say it one more time. You can order me to die, and you can even make me disappear forever, but you cannot destroy my reputation forever. Between losing my reputation and death… I would rather die!"As soon as he finished, he kicked the coffee table in front of Dan and left the office without looking back.-"Tsk! I didn't expect Dan to have made such a lapse of judgment. Regardless of what happened, Clarion was still loyal to him. Even though he became somewhat hesitant after I saved him, he stil
Chapter 7024
"Harvey, I don't think you should go to your training hall late unless absolutely necessary. I believe Sverker and Ghostface will definitely come attack you. Even if you must go, let me know in advance. I'll have someone from Belladonna Cult accompany you," Vaida said seriously.It was obvious that she didn't spend her days idly after she came back. She had already eliminated certain elements within the Belladonna cult and regained some control over the cult.Harvey simply smiled after hearing that. "Don't worry. I can handle it myself.""That's right, Senior Vaida! He's one of the top elites in the world!" Alexei said almost in a mumble as he stuffed a sticky date pudding into his mouth. "You didn't see just how good he was back in the casino. The Nine Wicked Blades from the Origin Sword Style was quite dangerous, yes? But in the end? They lost to him, and he only used one finger! You can't compare his powers with ordinary people."Alexei quickly gobbled up all the food on the tab
Chapter 7025
“According to the rules of Belladonna Cult, everything in the Belladonna Cult will go to big bro Harvey after you get married to him. Only then will we have enough support to go against him until the end!" Alexei said through gritted teeth.He wasn't really that foolish. He knew the best time to act. At the very least, they shouldn't confront Dan head-on now. Otherwise, none of them could afford to bear the consequences.Harvey looked at the two of them, speechless. What were they talking about? Why were they talking about marrying him? They had to be joking about him marrying Vaida, right?Vaida was indeed quite beautiful and had a curvaceous figure, but they didn't have much feelings for each other. There was no reason for them to get married. Anyway, this was not a good time to meet with Dan.Harvey sat up straight and said to Vaida softly. "I appreciate it, Vaida. I know you want to get justice for me, but if you ask me, this is where this stops now. There's no need to escala

"Alright, let's put that aside for now," Harvey said, ending the topic. "If word got out, we might force Dan to do everything he can to kill me."He shrugged. "Let's have some proper food now. Why hasn't the main dish been served yet? Didn't you order extra just now?" Harvey glanced at Alexei.Alexei chuckled. "Don’t worry about it, Big Bro. I ordered extra and all their signature dishes."He purposely showed Harvey the menu for the signature dishes. Looking at the number of zeroes behind the items, Harvey was speechless. It was just a meal… It didn't need to cost them thousands.Alexei chuckled again. "Don't worry about paying. I'll be straight with you. This restaurant is owned by Belladonna Cult, so Senior Vaida is its owner. She'll sign the bill off later, so we don't have to pay. Don't sweat it. After this, we'll come here more frequently for meals and drinks. We might not be able to go to the other places, but this place is fine, right?"Alexei's expression was one of

"I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia
