Chapter 2119

“Didn’t the old man have high hopes for you?” “Make your move. If you break his neck and throw his corpse into the coffin, I promise I won’t kill you. How’s that?” “If you don’t comply, I’ll order my men to shoot you on the spot!” “Don’t dream of dodging. If you do, I’ll kill the others first!” So saying, Alec Cloude raised his hand and made a simple gesture. The following second, all of his men aimed their firearms at Harvey. The safety was unlocked, and all of them were ready to shoot for the kill. At this gruesome scene, the faces of the guests in the banquet paled instantly. Many were aware of how ruthless and cruel Alec Cloude could be. Should Harvey try to dodge the incoming bullets, they would be the ones paying the price with their lives! Benjamin and his men frowned, discontent with the way things were going. None of them could guarantee if Jaden Smith’s influence was enough to suppress and deter Alec. However, one thing was for sure. Once the guns were fired, the outcome that would follow was ambiguous. On one hand, there was a possibility that the guests would perish. The consequences of so many deaths at once was nothing to scoff at. But just as Benjamin and his men readied themselves to retaliate, Harvey stepped forward indifferently and said, “Alec, you are the young master of Little Dwelling. But why are you so pathetic?” “You don’t even have the courage to fight my subordinates. Yet, you keep harping on and on about killing!” “Do you have the right to do that?” Harvey’s mockery rendered Alec stunned speechless. He was quick to recover from it and retorted, “Subordinates? Are you trying to tell me Longmen’s branch leader is your subordinate?” “Oh, York! Why don’t you claim to be Longmen’s new branch leader? If you do, then I might respect you a little!” “From the looks of it, you’re a complete loser. Do you think anyone will believe you if you say you’re the branch leader?” “Even if you put on an emperor’s robe, you won’t look like royalty!” Alec spat on the ground as soon as he was done with his insults, disdain and sarcasm written all over his hateful face. “Is that so?” Harvey, howere, remained standing calmly with his hands folded neatly behind his back. “I’ve told you the truth. Whether you believe it or not, it’s up to you.” “In fact, I could easily order one of my people to kill you with just a single sentence.” “Do you believe my words?” Alec sneered. This loser truly regarded himself as Longmen’s new branch leader. Hazel and her posse, who were listening to the two’s conversation, shook their heads and stared at Harvey with disbelief. ‘Can’t he read the room? Why is he still putting on that pretentious act? Well, he certainly went all out with his dumb facade!” ‘Soon, he’ll die getting shot by Alec Cloude’s men. Let’s see what he’ll do when that happens!’ “Order your people to kill me?” Alec stepped forward unhesitatingly and brought his face close to Harvey. Derision was clear on his face, and he was adamant in testing Harvey’s limits. “Come on, York. I’ll give you a chance. If you actually do that, I’ll acknowledge your claim!” “If you can’t, I’ll hack you into pieces and feed your corpse to the dogs!” “Fine, I’ll bite.” Harvey remained as indifferent as always. “Beat him up until he dies.” The moment this order fell out of Harvey’s lips, Rachel Hardy, who had been silent all this while, took a step forward and readied herself to attack. Alec narrowed his eyes coldly, waiting for her move. “Quickly retreat!” he barked. But in the next moment, Yin and Yang’s faces went green with shock. They were in the midst of dragging Alec to safety, ready to back away… Until Harvey’s nonchalant gaze fell straight on them. The two masters, who were the level of King of Arms, were shocked. They could feel a powerful aura pressing against them. Their bodies stiffened from instinctive fear and their minds automatically went blank. Alec himself sensed the impending danger. His arrogance disappeared in an instant. He hurriedly took a step backwards and barked to his men, “Shoot now! Kill her!”
