Harvey glared coldly at Shepard.“So all you’ve been trying to tell me…“Is that Aleah has Mandy. And she doesn’t know about it?“Are you going to tell her if I do anything wrong to you?”Shepard chuckled.“You misunderstand me, Sir York. Maybe I should tell you something so you wouldn’t look at me that way.”Shepard waved his hand for his subordinates to leave. He slowly stood up, and looked at the Indigo Mountain’s silhouette with a lonely look.“Before, I was just an ordinary medical student.“My graduation thesis was about the theory of getting rid of all senescent cells.“Because of this, the last generation’s Shepard found me.“When he died, his position became mine.“And, I found something greatly beneficial after being in position.“Evermore has money and power, and the strength to obtain unimaginable things for me to further my research.“I was Evermore’s shining star. I had the right to attend all sorts of grand events the organization held. As time passed, I man
Shepard smiled brightly.“Of course. I know how you work.“Whoever touches Ms. Zimmer, their fate has already been sealed. Aleah and her men would definitely suffer as soon as you take action.“Am I wrong?”“What are your conditions?” Harvey asked.Naturally, he knew that the opportunity wasn’t for free.“Straightforward.” Shepard raised his thumb.“Since you’re that impatient, I’ll be frank. I have a request: I’d like you to keep me safe during Damon’s inauguration ceremony.”Harvey’s eyes darkened. “What are you trying to do?”Shepard smiled.“Blaine wants me dead because he wants my position, right? Of course, news like this needs to be on TV and newspapers. Am I wrong?”Harvey’s eyes lit up. Then, he passionately tapped on Shepard’s shoulder.“You should’ve told me that sooner!“We wouldn’t have such a misunderstanding if you did.“Come, come! We’re brothers now!“Your problems are mine as well!“From now on, I’ll make sure you’re safe everywhere you go.“Not just
Harvey followed Shepard to the cabin without looking around the place properly.The auction was going to be held here.The place was decorated extravagantly; it only took one-third of the entire cabin, but it was still quite spacious.Other than Shepard, Rachel tagged along to keep him safe as well.Shepard didn’t need to come, but he decided to anyway just to show his sincerity.After all, he knew he had to do that if he was working with someone like Harvey. He might be killed if he had too many ulterior motives.Since he needed to sell a favor, why not sell a bigger one?“Hold it! Who are you people?”Right as Harvey and the others were about to enter, a few fierce-looking men blocked the entrance, firearms in hand.When they saw Shepard, disdain filled their eyes. Naturally, they knew who he was.Shepard was from Evermore’s twelfth branch, and they were from the same organization. But in an organization obsessed with combat power and pure strength, a bookworm like Shepar
“The real owner?”The men froze after hearing those words.“You belong to Evermore? We didn’t hear about anyone new taking position, though…”“That’s not it. I’m the one who’s going to destroy Evermore,” Harvey said.The men came to their senses.“How dare you?! Do you want to die?!”They quickly took off the safeties of their firearms, about to charge forward.Swoosh!Rachel, who had remained silent, took a step forward and swung her palm forward.Pfft!A light swing, and the men were instantly sent flying and slammed into the ground.Their eyes were wide open; they couldn’t crawl back up, even if they wanted to. Rachel’s simple movements were enough to cripple them.Harvey nodded; Rachel had grown much stronger recently.Shepard looked curiously at Harvey.He knew who Harvey was, along with the identities Harvey possessed…but he didn’t expect that Harvey’s mere subordinate would be just as terrifying.It seemed like he made the right call to work together with Harvey.
The crowd’s eyes instantly lit up with greed.They had seen a lot of beautiful women in their lives.However, a woman with a powerful reputation, whom top-rated young masters pursued, was simply too precious to give up.Whether to keep a woman like that for themselves or to give someone else to… Even if they sent the woman straight back to the Jean family, they’d gain ample benefits.Everyone was pondering whether to buy the woman or not.They were finding a way to earn the most profit.The hostess smiled, and waved her hand.A beautiful woman in a white wedding dress showed up in front of everyone. She looked sluggish, as if she was drugged. She was frowning, as if there was something bothering her the entire time.Harvey couldn’t help but feel heartbroken when he saw that. His eyes were cold as he slowly walked forward.“I’m sure fifteen million dollars isn’t too much to start for a woman like this, right?” the hostess said.“The bid will increase in fifteen million dollar
Everyone knew that Tenma was acting high and mighty because he was confident.Nobody would risk their lives to go against an insane person like him. They didn’t want to fight Tenma to the death.There was simply no need to go through all that, just for the sake of a woman.However, many looked at Mandy with pity.Tenma was said to love taking advantage of women with high statuses. The women he was interested in wouldn’t last longer than three days.Mandy seemed so fragile; she wouldn’t be able to survive after being in the hands of a pervert like him.“Heh, heh, heh! Thank you all for being so polite! Since everyone’s being nice, I’ll have to accept such a generous gift!“I’ll post a video for everyone to see after I have my fun tonight! Hahaha!”Tenma burst out laughing as he pulled out a check.“Just write the numbers here, and send the woman to my presidential suite! I can’t wait!”Tenma laughed again. For him, a wealthy woman from the top ten families was simply too worth
Harvey touched Mandy’s wrist.He could sense a faint aura inside her, keeping her from coming to her senses.He wanted to wake her up immediately, but decided to do it slowly by transferring a bit of his aura to her. Her body wouldn’t get hurt that way.Harvey picked her up, about to step down the platform.“That’s your woman?”Tenma froze; he didn’t think someone would actually dare take what was his.He glared at Harvey for a moment, then blew out a puff of smoke with a smile.“I didn’t think there’d still be someone saving the damsel in distress…“No matter. You’ll only make things more interesting.“I’ll get a lot more excited as well!“I don’t care who you are to the woman, kid. Put her down and break both your arms, then start groveling on the ground! I’ll let you go after that!“Of course, you don’t have to do that…“But if you don’t, then I’ll break every single one of your limbs and tie you to the foot of the bed. I’ll make you watch just how I’ll toy with your wom
The place was dead silent; the air froze immediately, as if everyone lost their voice at the same time.They were staring right at Rachel and Harvey as he picked Mandy up. Then, they realized…Harvey wasn’t just some ordinary man.His expression didn’t change the entire time, even under such circumstances.“Careful. It’d be bad if her dress gets dirtied.”Harvey calmly talked to Rachel before he casually walked toward the entrance. He wasn’t faster or slower, either. “How dare you?! Die!”Tenma was infuriated. Not only was he being disrespected, but his pride was also being constantly trampled. If he actually let Harvey take Mandy away, he wouldn’t be able to survive in the underworld in the future!“Go! Get him! Kill him! Every single one of you!“I’ll give fifteen million dollars to the person who kills him!“Close the door! Release the dogs!” Tenma screamed his lungs out.In a place like this, he’d be taken out if he wasn’t ruthless enough.Many sacrificial soldiers of
