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
“Oh! It’s you, Miss Xavier.” A man dressed in a white suit walked out of the company. Upon hearing the commotion, he came outside.Yvonne Xavier scrunched up her eyebrows in disgust. The man standing in front of her was no other than Zack Zimmer, who had been rejected by Wendy Sorell. She knew what he wanted with her and said coldly, “Ah, it’s you, Zack Zimmer. Unfortunately we don’t entertain any romantic shits here, so I will have to ask you to leave.”“Now, now, there’s no need to rush...” Zack replied with a smirk. His eyes turned cold instantly upon seeing someone else.‘The hell?! And now Harvey York’s here too?! This annoying guy is practically everywhere!’“What the hell is wrong with you, Harvey York?” Zack Zimmer pointed a finger at Harvey and started to yell, not even pausing to wait for Harvey’s response. “Are you stalking me? What a sicko!”At the same time, Zack grew worried as he recalled what happened with Harvey last night. If this guy ruins Zack’s plans again, it
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
"If you're sober, bend your knee to the ladies and apologize, or I'll kill you!" Harvey snarled.The long-haired man was arrogant, but it was obvious for all that Harvey was even more so. All the spectators were shocked. It was the first time they saw someone acting so arrogant.The long-haired man finally realized what had happened; he held his face and yelled, "You idiot! How dare you touch me?"Harvey gave him another slap. "So what if I do? Can't I afford to? Do you want me to hit you a dozen times?"The long-haired young man didn't expect Harvey to make a move despite the current circumstances, and was completely stunned. He held his completely swollen face and screamed, "How dare you touch me! Kill him! I want him ground to dust!"Clang!Just as the men and women wanted to stand and attack Harvey, Durandal put down the teacup in his hand with a clang. He waved his right hand and said, "All of you… Are you blind? Can't you see that this is Ms. Mandy Zimmer, the leader of t
"150 million isn't enough?""1.5 billion?"Everyone gasped the moment they heard what Harvey had to say. At the same time, many people turned and looked at him at the same time. Aside from shock and disbelief, they looked like they were looking at a fool.Everyone could see that Durandal had already completely decimated this underground fighting pit. The Ninth Branch had lost hundreds of millions of dollars by now. No matter how sharp Maya's tongue was, it couldn't hide the fact that they had lost a lot of money.So when Harvey took the initiative and said something like that, many simply thought it was for their pride. Everyone knew that at this time, one should surrender and not scream in defiance. The men and women around Durandal all stared at Harvey. They didn't feel scared or excited, simply scornful.Mandy wanted to say something, but after hearing Harvey, she decided to keep silent and let him take control of everything. She believed that he could help her."Madam! Sir
Maya looked horrified. She was the one organizing things for the Ninth Branch. This fighter was already the most powerful the Ninth Branch had, but she didn't expect him to act like a complete newbie.As for Durandal, he picked up his teacup and sipped it. His phone screen was showing a game. It was obvious the fight in front of him had already been decided…and he was bored. A mobile game was even a better time killer than this.In some way, this was truly a way of showing how high and mighty he was.Meanwhile, a woman wearing a coat next to Durandal looked at the fight with scorn. It was obvious that the fight in front of her wasn't that interesting.After exchanging blows, the fighter from the Ninth Branch had completely lost his advantage. The Boxing Champion spun and broke his right arm in one strike.Crack!Before he could even scream, the Boxing King swooped right in front of him, then grabbed his head before punching him with all his might.Pfft…Blood immediately came o
"It was clear that this so-called champion had won countless matches. Otherwise, the spectators wouldn't be so excited when they saw him. Some of the women roared and screamed as if they were on cloud nine. The air was full of passion and excitement, as if this champion could really defeat everyone under the sun.Mandy frowned as she looked at the scene, and said slowly, "That's the elite fighter Durandal brought here. From the way he fought, he was indeed someone who had been fighting in underground fighting rings like ours for a long time. He calls himself the Boxing Champion, and has already won five bouts today. He has won at least 75 million dollars from us.""I see… He's a money printer…" Harvey looked at him and nodded. "From the surface, he's a peak King of Arms. If he let himself go, I believe he might be able to fight against those close to True Warrior."Mandy nodded before continuing, "He's just one of the elites Durandal brought with him. Other than him, there's the K
The VIP seats opposite Maya had a group of men and women chatting loudly in plain clothing. All of them looked arrogant, and the way they looked down on others seemed second nature to them. A bald man was in the center of it all. He was wearing a simple white jacket and a pair of outdated cloth shoes. When he sat there, he looked like he was shifting between a state of awareness or sleep."This is the man leading the challengers. All of them called him Mr. Parker." Mandy's eyes immediately fell on this bald man as she explained. It was obvious that while she wasn't here all the time, she knew a lot about the underground boxing gym.Harvey then asked calmly, "He's so easily identifiable. You really can't find anything about him at all?""Nothing. But to him, money is nothing but a number," Mandy sighed. "He didn't look anything unique, but from the limited edition Richard Mille watch he's wearing? That watch is called a 'Billionaire's Watch'. Just that alone is proof enough of how
"Even if they're really from another world, they wouldn't be anyone ordinary. They're dressed simply, but we could tell they're no ordinary people. They looked at all the other guests like they were ants, as if they stood on top of the world. Speaking of which, the one who led them was someone with the last name Parker…"At this point, Mandy found it difficult to continue the conversation. Not only did she lose so much money, but she wasn't even sure who she lost to. It was a total humiliation!"Parker… Not ordinary people… Looking down on everyone…" Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from Parkerville?"A few days ago, Harvey had just humiliated Clarion. In the days that followed, Clarion seemed to have completely disappeared. It didn't fit his modus operandi. Harvey started to suspect that the Parkers of Parkerville were behind this.Most importantly, they could anger him through Mandy. It seemed not everyone from Parkerville was brainless. At the very least, they were quite goo
Mandy kept mum.Harvey sighed. "Fine. Let's not talk about closing the underground boxing ring. Explain to me what has been going on lately. Just how much have you lost?"Mandy took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat opposite Harvey. She picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp before saying with a sigh, "Because of what happened with the real estate earlier, the Ninth Branch can't simply open up new markets in a short time. We're bleeding money every day. "I realized the Ninth Branch can be supported by just the underground boxing ring. Unfortunately, even our profit from the ring is falling. One of our shareholders gave us the idea to allow guests to bring their own fighters rather than simply betting on fighters. That way, it becomes a competition between the host and the guest."A few days ago, a group of guests came with eight elites and wanted to bet with the underground boxing ring. They said they'll be betting 7 million dollars a match. I didn't want to agr
