“Lebron is indeed quite something.”Harvey’s tone was calm and steady.“But you don’t have to worry about it. I can deal with him if he actually shows up.”“Enough!”“This is enough!”Brennan’s expression turned as cold as ice. “If it weren’t for my junior asking Master for help, I wouldn’t show up here even if you groveled!”“I’m telling you all this to warn you of what’s coming!”“And I’m telling you what to do to save your own skin as well!”“You should know what’s good for you!”In Brennan’s eyes, Harvey’s fate had already been sealed when he went against Lucas and Justin for Kait.That is, unless Harvey begged for Brennan’s help to protect him in the name of the Bray Temple.If Harvey didn’t, then he would be dead without a doubt.Before Harvey could say anything in reply, Kait cut in anxiously, “Senior, you’re saying that Lebron will take action because of me?”Brennan snarled, “Most likely.”“I heard the people Lucas sent to kill you all died in the Devil’s Trian
Harvey’s words were simple and straightforward.He didn’t care for Brennan, much less Mordu’s well-known Leonard Bray.“What did you just say?”Brennan, who was crossing his legs on the couch nonchalantly as he waited for Harvey to kneel, froze. He wondered if he had heard wrong.Countless wealthy young masters would usually wail and scream to be accepted by him, though Brennan never cared for them.He gave this kid a chance for his junior’s sake, and yet this kid promptly rejected his offer?Brennan seriously thought he had misheard wrong.“I made it very clear. You’re unworthy.”“Even your master doesn’t have the right.”“As for Lucas, Justin, or that Lebron guy.”“I can handle it.”“There’s no need for you to worry.”Harvey said every word loud and clear.Listening to him, Kait grew even more anxious.“Harvey, now’s not the time to be prideful!”“I know that you’re strong, and that you’re capable.”“But people like Lebron have hands stained full of blood. He’ll stop
The exquisite door was kicked down, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.Several men in suits swarmed in soon after.Lebron strode in, carrying his silver handgun.He was dressed in a tuxedo with a tophat as usual, his whole appearance sophisticated and gentleman-like.The sight instantly terrified Kait.“Lebron?!”Harvey, however, calmly walked forward and shielded Kait with his back.Brennan’s eyes began to twitch frantically. He never imagined that Lebron would waltz in immediately right as he mentioned Lebron’s name.Lebron sized up Harvey with interest. He was in no rush. Harvey greeted him casually, “Lebron. I didn’t think we’d meet again so soon.”“I don’t care why you’re here, but you’ll have to pay for the damages caused here.”Lebron replied nonchalantly, “With how I do things, I was prepared to shoot you dead the moment you step outside.”“Unfortunately, Prince Jean can’t wait any longer. He wanted you dead by tonight.”“Also, he asked me to send Ms. Walk
Kait became so anxious about Brennan’s refusal to help Harvey, that her face lost all color.“Senior, if you protect Harvey, I’ll…I’ll agree to it…”“Kait…”Brennan looked at Kait’s enchanting face and graceful body, and asked, “Are you serious?”“Well, if that’s the case…for your sake, I’ll give him one last chance to apologize right now.”Brennan preferred having Harvey kneel before him rather than dying.He had been pursuing Kait for many, many years. His adoration that stemmed during his early years had turned into possessiveness.Kait did not care what would happen to her. She only wanted Harvey to live.She stared at Harvey with a pleading look.“Harvey…”“Stop being so stubborn!”“Let my senior help you for once!”“If you don’t even want that, I’ll just die with you!”Kait immediately walked forward and stood next to Harvey to fight against Lebron, despite Brennan’s protests.Brennan’s face twisted in displeasure. He could see Kait’s sincerity toward Harvey.The n
“That’s right! Harvey is my official disciple!”“Naturally, that also makes him my master’s follower!”“I know that your aim is unparalleled, Lebron. But you should know of my master’s capabilities too.”“I hope you’ll pay my master some respect.”“Of course, Harvey should also explain himself for disrespecting you and Prince Jean.”“How about this? I’ll make him grovel in front of you. Send Prince Jean the video, and we’ll both go our merry way!”“Is there a problem?”Brennan stomped forward, every step full of might, as if he had the final say for the situation.His little show of might made Lebron’s armed underlings wish that they had a child like Brennan.‘He’s too fierce!’‘How can he speak like that to Lebron?!’Soon after, Harvey returned from the backyard.Brennan narrowed his eyes at Harvey and exclaimed haughtily, “Harvey! I already took care of everything for you!”“Grovel in front of Lebron now, and your life will be spared!”“No need to thank me, this is only
Slap!Lebron was getting impatient. Annoyed, he strode forward and swung his palm.“Aaagh!”The high and mighty Brennan was sent flying with just one slap from Lebron.Brennan tried to get back up, but Lebron was quick and gave Brennan another slap on the face.Slap!Brennan was sent flying across the room once more. When he collapsed to the ground, blood gushed out of his mouth, along with a few teeth.His heart was filled with grief and resentment. He screamed, “Lebron…!”Bang!Lebron raised the gun and shot right next to Brennan. He hissed coldly, “Keep yapping, and I’ll kill you!”Brennan, who was close to exploding, was forced to swallow his words.Brennan knew that Lebron would do what he said. If Brennan kept spouting nonsense, Lebron would surely turn him into a corpse!“A quiet and peaceful world. How nice.”“Right, Harvey?”Lebron made a gesture signalling his men to capture Kait alive as he turned to look calmly at Harvey.The two had already fought before. Le
Brennan was scornful of a kept man like Harvey.When Brennan saw Harvey crossing his arms and backing away as if the latter would simply watch the fight, Brennan was even more disappointed in Harvey.He could not fathom why Rachel and Kait would even look up to this kept man!It would be so much better if they were with him instead!Brennan’s heart was filled with jealousy, admiration, and hatred; all at the same time.Lebron looked at Rachel, then sighed.“No wonder. I was wondering why a foreigner would dare to constantly provoke Prince Jean.”“Trashing Prince Jean’s place.”“Stealing his woman.”“Even going out of his way to go against Justin and Angelina!”“You were being ordered by Rachel all along!”Lebron felt like he understood everything.Rachel was supporting Harvey in secret.She pretended to be crippled to rise to power, causing Longmen’s Mordu branch to fall further into chaos.Recently, Rachel had formed an alliance with Aiden. If he were to be in power as w
Clang, clang, clang!Rachel’s movements were as quick as lightning.Lebron’s close-quarter combat was decent as well. The two firearms he was holding were used as close-range weapons to stop Rachel’s barrage of attacks.The sounds of weapons colliding echoed everywhere, and sparks would fly out occasionally. It was truly a remarkable sight.Safe to say, these two were extraordinary fighters. As expected from Mordu’s well-known characters.“Kill them!”Rachel’s attacks were proven to be ineffective. She shook her left sleeve, revealing another hidden blade, and then pounced forward.The two blades were attacking as one. It was truly a terrifying sight.Lebron kept moving forward, pulling the triggers of his firearms in extremely close quarters.Bang, bang, bang!Rachel’s expression changed once more as the bullets knocked her back. Even though she could barely block them, the force forced her to sway left and right.Harvey crossed his arms nonchalantly as he watched Rachel fi
"Or maybe you're thinking that after working a little bit harder for a while, you'll be able to leave the country and live under the radar. Then, you can go to Country A and live the life you want? Your parents have already been sent over, right?"No matter what happens, Dan treats those who work for him well. But… There's something I don't understand. You're willing to leave your home permanently just because he treats you well? You're willing to give him your undying loyalty just like that? Is it worth it?" Harvey asked as he put his cup of latte down on the table with a curious expression.The ordinary young woman shuddered slightly before raising her head. She gave Harvey a look and said, "Are you talking to me, sir? Do we know each other?"Harvey smiled. "We don't, but I'm pretty sure you know me. Or should I say… It's exactly because you know me that you went to Country A and persuaded Royce to come to Wolsing. Whether it's the 150 million dollars given to Lilian or lying to X
The next day…What happened to Geraldton Hotel was being reported on the news. It was about how an underground criminal empire in Wolsing was being swept by the authorities. Harvey didn't expect things to go so out of hand. At the same time, he now knew that no matter what the Yates of Country A wanted to do, they wouldn't be able to make any moves in the short term after what happened.There was another rumor that Kyros alone had borne the brunt of the crimes for the Wright family. The Wrights of Wolsing had removed his name from the family and that was enough to settle things. They were also not part of the media report.It was easy for one to see that a compromise had been reached by all the factions involved. Otherwise, if the Wrights of Wolsing really wanted to get involved, no one could estimate how this would develop.Just as Harvey was reading the news, his phone buzzed. Yvonne's stern voice came from the other side. "Sir, I've managed to investigate everything clearly.
Just as Harvey was thinking about who was behind this, his phone suddenly started to buzz. He picked it up—there was only one message."Interesting," Harvey said with a deep smile as he read it. "It's George. After his investigation, the one leading the task force has a really clean background. However, when he was at university, he was fully sponsored by a charity fund belonging to the Jeans of Mordu."After his graduation, the speed he gets promoted is also much faster than his peers around the same age. No matter how I looked at it, someone had been giving him a boost. However, is this the result of Mandy going over to Purdue Mountain? It doesn't look like Zayden, as the patriarch of one of the top ten families, wants to calm things down…"Feels like he wants to make things even worse. How is this going to benefit the Jeans of Mordu?"Yvonne narrowed her eyes slightly. "At the very least," she said, "there are two ways they can benefit from this. Firstly, it's to clarify their
The next day.The estate in the third ring of Wolsing.Harvey had originally planned to go to Mordu at night when Mandy called him. She told him everything that happened in Geraldton Hotel had been settled. Zayden's side would make a move and demand a direct explanation from them for what happened.Harvey was quite shocked when he heard this.The leader of the Jeans of Mordu had been too discreet, so much so that this was the first time he heard about this name. But the problem was, Harvey didn't believe that the Jeans of Mordu who had been making things difficult for Mandy all this while would suddenly make a move without cause.However, Mandy kept on telling Harvey that everything was over. She would keep Xynthia in Mordu for a few more days. Once the dust had settled, she would then send Xynthia back to Wolsing.Hearing Mandy so confident with herself, Harvey decided not to say anything else. That being said, he still her Mandy that if anything happened, she must tell him imme
"In other words, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it," Zayden said. "As for the Ninth Branch, that's the fruit of your labor. At least, I don't see anyone has the right to replace you as the head. Unless you have made a very serious mistake, your status as the head of the Ninth Branch is guaranteed. Remember, never say something like giving up your spot as the head ever again."Top families like the Jeans of Mordu have their own rules. There are certain positions that can't be taken just because you wanted to, and there are those that you can't leave just as easily as well."Mandy was stunned after she heard Zayden's criticism of her. Then, she nodded. "Understood. Thank you for your lesson, sir. I will do everything I can in the service of the family."Mandy wasn't that surprised to see that Zayden was willing to make a personal appearance. Since Kyros didn't show any respect to the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden needed to make a show of force once things reached thi
After about half an hour, Mandy finally saw figures appearing at the entrance. She grew a little uneasy. She put down the phone that she was using to work, and stood up."Ms. Mandy, Mr. Zayden is now ready to see you." Ms. Judd smiled and signaled Mandy to come with her. The estate might look quite small, but in actual fact, the entire land surrounding it was considered part of the estate. Without someone leading the way, no one could find their destination.Very quickly, Ms. Judd took Mandy to the Storm Pavilion in the garden. This place was quite warm, and it made Mandy feel quite relaxed. In the middle of the pavilion was a table with several plated snacks. They were all things that could be found in the countryside, like peanuts and carrots. Other than that, there was a bowl of barley.A man around fifty years of age was just getting ready to eat when he raised his head and smiled at Mandy. "Why are you here, Mandy? Aren't you supposed to be in Wolsing handling the Ninth Bra
Purdue Mountain, Mordu.A brand new Mercedes-Maybach drove into an ancient estate on the hill of the mountain. As it was close to the ocean and the temperature quickly dropped during the fall season, other than some coldness from late autumn, the estate also carried a certain frigidity.Mandy got out of the car wearing a thin jacket, looking at the ancient structures within the estate. Some of them were centuries old, and no one could tell how long they had existed. However, the buildings looked like they were newly constructed. The Jeans of Mordu would renovate and repair the buildings once every three months, as well as install the newest technology.Just that alone was evidence of how important this place was for the Jeans of Mordu. The truth was that this was the residence of the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden. He had been extremely discreet these past years.Normally, the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu would stay here. All his words and actions would decide the ent
"You…" Royce gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Harvey. However, he knew that Harvey did this intentionally to take revenge against them, giving him a so-called choice. Harvey did it to completely humiliate both him and Kyros.Harvey also wanted to use this matter to create a crack in the Wright of Wolsing and the Yates of Country A's relationship during their honeymoon period. The problem was, Royce didn't have a choice. If Harvey truly decided to do whatever he wanted, then both he and Kyros would be in deep trouble.Royce gritted his teeth for a long time before finally slowly bending his knee and said, "I'm sorry…"Harvey immediately raised his foot and kicked Royce to the floor. "I know you're not sincere in your apologies, but I'll still accept it with mercy. But remember—if you want to do something in the future, do it for me. If you do anything to the people close to me again, even your gods can't protect you."And then, Harvey grabbed Xynthia's hand and left. H
As the leader of the top ten families, the Wrights of Wolsing had their own duties and responsibilities. They needed to maintain the high and mighty image of the top families in the hearts of the commoners.Once this was fully exposed, perhaps the people from the precinct and Dragon Cell wouldn't take any action against the Wright family, but Emery might personally eliminate him in the name of justice to protect the family's reputation.Since Emery hadn't truly become the leader of the family yet, Sienna was still present to challenge him.If Harvey really decided to reveal this without a care, then Sienna would use this chance to make things worse for Emery. Especially during an inner struggle, a microscale change can sometimes cause a big enough change.Of course, the most important part of this was that Kyros worried this would really affect Emery's ascension. That was more important than Harvey's wanton actions.Even Royce's expression also became pale. It was true that he was
