“At this point, it doesn’t matter if I break both your arms or just one, right?”Harvey York’s smile was utterly sinister in Kurtis Lee’s eyes.He gritted his teeth for a moment before finally speaking again.“Don’t you dare cross the line, Harvey!”“Cross the line?“I would never.“If I’d end up the same anyway…“Why wouldn’t I just break both your arms instead?“Right?”“You want to break both?!“Don’t you know I’m the sworn brother of Mr. Keegan from the Lloyd family?!“How dare you even lay a finger on me?!“Other than him, I still have other countless people supporting me!“Those who go against me will always suffer a horrible fate!“There’s no point in regretting now!”Kurtis’ speech was getting more and more illogical at that moment.Harvey sighed.“You’re right about that.“Then again, I’m not going to do that anyway.”Harvey stepped forward before stomping on Kurtis’ other arm.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain were heard as Kurtis rolled on the ground with a horri
Only the driver, Harvey York, and Kairi Patel were in a minibus on the way back.Kairi sighed, seeing Harvey’s calm expression.“I’m afraid Kurtis Lee wouldn’t just let you go scot-free this time…“Keegan Lloyd’s a prominent figure of Gangnam’s martial arts world.“It’s said that he’s considered a hero there.“He’s a righteous man who has helped many.“It’d be quite troubling if a person like that were to stand for Kurtis.”“He wouldn’t dare.”Kairi froze before she stopped talking.She believed Harvey did not understand his dire situation and that she would stand with him no matter the case.-On the next day, early in the morning.Harvey and Kairi received word that they would attend the meeting on time.When the two arrived at the meeting room, dozens of people were seated properly.In addition to Chanse Foster and the higher-ups of different departments, a few deputies also attended the meeting.An elderly man in a robe resembling Blaine John sat in the middle seat.
“I’m dissatisfied with Consultant York, but I still want the project done as soon as possible!“That was why I went to beg for Kurtis Lee’s support!“I wanted to offer Consultant York a chance!“Kurtis only joked with Madam Kairi because he adored her!“Yet, Consultant York broke both of Kurtis’ arms because of that!Chanse seemed as if he was terrified.“He was the government’s consultant, and yet he was beating people up without regard!“He knew it was a crime, and he still committed it!“What’s more, he even threatened Kurtis after all that!“He said he’d break Kurtis’ legs if the relocation contract weren’t sent here!“This is the government! We work for the people!“How could we side with a person who acts like a damn gangster?!“Madam Kairi has no right to be our second-in-command either since she’s such a bad judge of character!“I suggest we remove these two from their positions effective immediately!”The people from the land department cheered loudly, clamoring
“Kurtis Lee was once a romantic young man!“He can’t help being flirty every once in a while!“He was joking with you because he thought you looked pretty!“Not only are you completely ungrateful, but you also got your subordinate to take action against him?!“Do you think you’re actually being reasonable here?“Besides, even if Kurtis was planning to take advantage of you, why didn’t you just let him?!“You could’ve secured the deal with just being a few minutes with him!“What’s wrong with that?!“As the second-in-command, so what if you suffer a little for the sake of the land department?“You won’t die from it anyway!“I’m not a woman…“But if I am, and Kurtis is interested in me…“For the sake of the government, not only would I play along with him, I’d even acknowledge it if he wants me to be with him for the rest of his life!“Countless people had sacrificed themselves for the benefit of the country!“So what if someone flirted with you?“If you don’t even have th
“That’s right! Us government officials will swallow our pride for the sake of the public!“We’re different compared to you half-baked people!“We’re professionals!“So what if we do everything for the government?!”Chanse Foster knew Harvey York was only trying to provoke everyone, but he could not refute his insults either.All he could do was put up a righteous front.Damon John nodded.“Us government officials must always think of the bigger picture.“For that, there are some things we can and should sacrifice!“Even the death of a few people is necessary if that’s the case…“Let alone other things.“If you can’t even do that, then you’re simply unfit to work for the government.”Naturally, Damon was deliberately trying to force Kairi to resign herself.“We’re unfit?Harvey put on a smile.“In my eyes, we’re the exact opposite!“After all, we never compromise for the sake of unruly people!“We do everything by the books!“This is the way of a true upperclassman!“I
Kairi ignored the crowd, and looked at Damon.“Do you want me out of here that badly? Don’t forget why I got here in the first place!”Damon shrugged.“I don’t care how you got here. Since you did, it can’t be considered a broken promise.“However! You have ruined the government’s business! You need to explain yourself. If not, how are we supposed to win the trust of the masses?”Chanse chuckled coldly.“That’s right! If people like you are still in such a high position… Well, it’s simply disrespectful to the law, the government, and the people!“You should leave already! If someone like you remains, the government will fall!”Chanse’s face was smug. ‘Two newbies trying to go against me? Hilarious!’Harvey sighed. “You people really are stupid, aren’t you? You don’t even understand what I’m saying, but you’re still running your mouths?“I admit that I broke Kurtis’ arms…but when did I say that he won’t sign the contract?”Chanse chuckled once more, the sound icy. “Are yo
Chanse was speechless. He wondered if he was talking to an insane person.“Your attitude stinks, and your brain’s not really working either, huh?” he spat disdainfully.“Yesterday, you broke two of Kurtis’s arms! Considering his background and connections, it’s already a blessing for you that you’re still breathing!“What the hell are you thinking? How are you still dreaming until now?”A lot of people were looking at Harvey as if he was an idiot. Even Damon stared at Harvey with a disgusted glare. Blaine kept warning him that Harvey was a meticulous man, difficult to deal with… But he was sure someone from the underworld wouldn’t be smart enough to play with government officials.Damon believed that Blaine had constantly lost because of his character.Blaine was a talented man, but he was much too cautious. He was always overthinking, which would only make him lose everything.Hence, Damon knew he had to be the one to lead the John family.While he was lamenting the situat
The Lloyd family wasn’t an ordinary family of martial artists, either—they had the support of sacred martial arts training grounds as well. Even the top ten families had no choice but to give them respect. None dared to go against the Lloyds.Blaine only managed to call Keegan here because he owed Master Morgraine a favor. If not for that, he probably wouldn’t be able to ask for Keegan’s help, especially with just his identity.Damon’s deputies quickly stepped forward, admiration evident on their faces, as if they were in the presence of a hero.Chanse and the others didn’t know who Keegan was. Judging from Damon’s attitude, they could sense that he had an extraordinary identity.Chanse then looked at Kurtis, confused. ‘Didn’t he say that he has a huge support? That’s clearly him… But why does he still look a little timid now?’He had a bad feeling.“You’re too kind, Mr. Damon.” Keegan nodded at Damon. “Sorry for disturbing you today.”Keegan instinctively looked at Harvey; hi
