Yvonne Xavier followed him from behind with a concerned look on her face. She was a beauty after all and just by walking behind Harvey York at that time, she caught everyone’s eyes. “Sir, it was my responsibility. From now on, I will definitely take good care of my subordinates.” Yvonne noticed that Harvey was only concentrating on his phone so she could only speak to him from behind while bowing slightly.“Is it?” Harvey spoke nonchalantly, “This isn’t the first time.”Yvonne was about to cry out of desperation. She said, “Sir, just forgive me for this time. You gave me the life I have now and I have always been loyal to you. I beg you to give me another chance. Please.”Harvey spoke indifferently, “Actually, I have never blamed you. In all these years, you have worked for the York family conscientiously. It wasn’t an easy task for you as well to build the foundation for this company in my place. However, have you not pampered your men a little too much?”“Sir, I promise that th
A shopkeeper walked towards them immediately. After he had a look on Harvey, he spoke with slight hesitation, “Mister, this model is our shop’s limited edition. It costs two thousand, not a two hundred. Also, we need to get the stocks from other outlets. Are you sure that you want them?” He could not blame the shopkeeper for having such hesitation either as there were only limited stocks for the phone. However, that model was a big hit and was only common within the upper class of the society. An ordinary man’s monthly salary could not even reach two thousand dollars. Therefore, it was quite impossible for them to own one of these phones.At that time, Harvey was wearing the clothes he got from a thrift shop and he looked poor for obvious reasons. He did not look like someone who could take fifteen grands out of his pocket.Harvey was speechless. It seemed like it was a must for him to get a set of better-looking clothes.Yvonne burst into laughter. Clearly, she rarely had the chanc
Weston Jackman was stunned for a moment as well.That was it? What did she mean by ‘Starry Clouds Entertainment did have good taste’?Shouldn’t she just take the name card, excitingly invite him to a place to have a drink and then settle everything accordingly like how he planned it out?In the adults’ world, the art of equivalent exchange was that simple and straightforward.However, what exactly did this beauty mean by her actions? Was she looking down on him? Or was it because of the poor-looking guy beside him?At this moment, Weston finally took Harvey York seriously and glared at him. The next moment he smiled gently, “Milady, is it because of the man beside you, so you did not dare to accept my invitation? You need to think carefully, this is your future and you will only have a chance like this for once in your lifetime. If you miss it, you can’t cry over spilt milk.”When Yvonne was busy showing the new features on the phone to Harvey, Weston who was beside her started t
“Holy sh*t! Is he a wealthy man with a low profile?”“He didn’t look twice before swiping his card. That’s awesome!”“Does he own any properties?”Seeing Harvey York acting so frank, the crowd became momentarily stunned.Among the crowd, Weston Jackman was the one who could see most clearly. As soon as Harvey pulled out the card, he too let out a startled gasp.“An Amex Black Card!” At his exclamation, pin drop silence enveloped the entire store.The crowd might not have seen the Amex Black Card, but it did not mean that they had never heard about it before.A holder of the Amex Black Card would need to have at least a few hundred millions of cash in his bank account. Cash, not assets! Even for a big shot like Weston, he only had a few hundred thousands of cash in his hands. How exactly does a few hundred millions of cash look like?For a card like that, there couldn’t be more than five of them in Niumhi!Even the shopkeeper was shocked. Was he going to make a fortune that d
“Babe, I noticed you like that phone very much. How about I buy it for you?” Weston Jackman grabbed the opportunity to approach Yvonne. Without giving her any chance to reject him, he handed out his bank card. “Swipe mine!”“Poor rat, do you know what a silver card is? I suggest you put in more effort the next time you try to show off again.” Weston looked at Harvey arrogantly. “People are still willing to believe you if you used a silver card, but an Amex Card? My ass!” “Wow! So that’s a silver card. I heard that you will need more than a hundred and fifty million dollars in your bank account in order to get one!”“Mr Jackman is indeed the richer one! And he’s such a humble guy!”“Comparing the two is simply unpleasant!”“...”Harvey was about to pass out from anger. He undoubtedly had almost fifteen billion in his account, but was undermined by someone with only almost a million. He was f*cking speechless.The problem was, he could not explain why himself.Yvonne could not b
“Mr. York, what just happened?” A confused Yvonne Xavier asked Harvey in their Ferrari.“Let me make a call and inquire about that.” Harvey York did, and was dumbfounded when he received the answer. He said, “The bank informed me that the default spending limit for my card was seven hundred and fifty thousand a month. As I just withdrew seven hundred and fifty thousand in cash recently, I exceeded my quota. If I want to increase the limit, I need to go to the bank and sign an agreement.” “Pfft…”Yvonne couldn’t hold back her amusement. She had never expected something like that would actually happen.Harvey was speechless as well at the fact that such a silly thing could occur to him. It seemed it was necessary for him to stop by the bank or he would have trouble with his daily spending.“About the phone, you can consider it a gift from me.” Yvonne flashed him a gentle smile. This amount of money didn’t really mean much to her. “Alright, I’ll buy you something else in the fut
He dared not make the slightest move. Yvonne Xavier may appear all tough and mighty, but based on what Harvey York knew, she had never been in a relationship. In this situation, he wouldn’t be surprised if she stabbed him with a knife the moment she returned to her senses… Yvonne started to stutter. “Sir… sir… Are you done hugging me?”“Oh!” Harvey immediately released her. He himself did not notice that he was subconsciously hugging her. Harvey turned incredibly awkward, and he could only let her go. Yvonne sprang up in an instant, but a bashful expression remained on her face.Both of them could only feel that the situation was too f*cking awkward. Even for a self-admitted shameless person like Harvey, he was unable to bear the awkwardness of the whole situation.Yvonne became all the more embarrassed. She said, “I heard… you were married for three years.”Harvey fell into a brief silence. After a while, he spoke. “Well, let’s not talk about that. I need you to lend me your
Yvonne Xavier noticed Harvey York walking towards her. She smiled and said, “Please wait for a moment, sir. Breakfast will be ready soon.”Harvey gazed at Yvonne with suspicion. For some reason he couldn’t fathom, he had an inkling that Yvonne was not treating him as warmly as she usually did.Harvey enjoyed a pleasant night’s sleep, but he did not know that Yvonne spent the whole time tossing and turning in bed. She had wondered whether she should open the door on the chance Harvey came knocking.It turned out that Harvey was as senseless as a piece of log and had none of that intention. The fact really got on Yvonne’s nerves.After finishing breakfast, they did not stay any longer at Yvonne’s house. Yvonne drove her Bentley and dropped Harvey at York Enterprise. It was already nine o’clock in the morning, and people were gradually bustling into the area.A large group of people had gathered at the main entrance of the York Enterprise for unknown reasons. There were workers from
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
