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
George briefly hesitated before continuing and said, "I also noticed something other than this. The Island Nation embassy was preparing for a wedding. From the looks of it, tonight would be the wedding."From my informants, the people getting married are Yvonne and Shingen."Geroge paused momentarily before continuing, "From what I heard, Yvonne lost her parents a long time ago, and Sheldon brought her up. However, Sheldon is still imprisoned within the Xavier of Wolsing's ancestral land. I heard that if Yvonne refuses to marry, then Sheldon will die."Only now did Harvey manage to connect the dots. For example, why did Yvonne leave without saying a word? For instance, why would Yvonne suddenly marry another man? When the thought crossed his mind, Harvey extended his right hand, slammed the table, and said, "From now on, you have the authority to use everything I have. But you must get Sheldon out before the wedding tonight."George was stunned. "Sir, please do anything rash! That'
"You!" Liza was so furious that she seemed to go berserk as she kept pouncing at Rachel. Unfortunately, Rachel had already realized that her lower half was defenseless. No matter how she attacked, Rachel would only focus on her legs.After exchanging blows, Rachel used a chance to kick Liza in the stomach. Liza let out a scream as she was immediately thrown out. When she dropped to the ground, the burst of internal energy and the drug after-effects made her twitch on the ground, and she could not get back up after some time."See? This is the price you pay for your revenge," Harvey signaled Rachel to stop as he looked at Liza and gave a sigh. "The power of martial arts comes from training for a long period. You, or should I say, the person behind this all, had the wrong understanding. They all think that you, after using the genetic drug, would be able to kill me with your increased power."Unfortunately, it was meaningless. In front of absolute power, your fake power meant absolute
"Everything was an act that you directed yourself! Your acting is so good that even I almost believed all of this!" Liza could not be bothered by Harvey's explanation as she was drowned in her own rage. "Someone like you can lie to the entire world, but you can't lie to someone as smart as us! All the other overseas Martial Arts Alliance will fight you till the end! We won't allow someone like you to have such a high position within the Alliance!"And then, Liza pulled out the one last syringe and stabbed it into herself. Then, she moved. She roared as she pounced toward Harvey's location.Bang!Charlotte instinctively stepped before Harvey, using her hands to block Liza's attack wave. However, she did not expect that after Liza had injected herself with so much drug, not only had her power increased, but her entire combat capabilities also had improved.Charlotte, who could normally crush Liza, was forced back after one single punch. She only stopped after she slid almost 30 feet
"Are you stupid, Liza?" Charlotte stepped forward, glaring coldly. "Even Dragon Cell proves Harvey's innocence; someone tried to frame him! But here, you accuse him of being the culprit without any evidence? Are you joking? Or do you think that the Martial Arts Alliance doesn't kill!"Then, Charlotte placed her right hand on the hilt of her longsword, as if she would fight if Liza refused to back off. Rachel also stepped forward, and a throwing knife appeared in her hand as she glared at Liza with icy eyes."Do you think I'll believe whatever you say?" Liza said coldly as she laid her dark eyes on Harvey. "Not only did this bastard personally kill Wilhelm, but once he's exposed, he even lets his underlings kill Donald and the others by imitating him! You left so much evidence, so you befuddled the investigation! So you can let yourself off the hook!"Liza smiled coldly. "Harvey, you can deceive others, but you can never deceive me! There are plenty of ways within the community of th
Harvey narrowed his eyes. He was pretty surprised that someone would attack him at this critical moment. Could it be that just as Jesse had mentioned… There were plenty of people who wanted him dead.Bang!But before the pickup truck could reach Harvey, a Benz SUV rammed right into its side as it rushed out from another alley. The truck was hit so hard that it lost control and swerved into a nearby tree.The driver of the Benz SUV did not stop. Instead, he pressed on the gas again, damaging the pickup truck even more. The SUV driver jumped out only when the pickup truck's fuel tank caught on fire.Harvey gave the driver a look. It was Ray.It was obvious that Ray was still as careful after so many years when he first joined Harvey. Even at this time, he still kept his cards close to himself. Otherwise, even if Harvey did not die, he would still be in so much trouble.Harvey nodded at Ray. He was going to check who was inside the pickup truck when someone kicked the windshield ope
Once all the paperwork had been completed, it was already seven at night. When Harvey left the prison, he saw many had already been waiting for him outside.In addition to Charlotte and Prince from the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Tyson, Ray, George, and Rachel were present. From a certain perspective, they were Harvey's greatest supporters within Country H.After Harvey got into prison, they used everything in their repertoire to prove Harvey's innocence. It was something worth celebrating, and they felt fortunate now that Harvey was released.Other than Harvey's crew, Mandy was also there.She gave Harvey a smile from some distance away. The worry on her face also disappeared. Harvey gave Mandy a nod. Initially, he was going to greet her, but he saw a Toyota van parked not far away from the corner of his eye. The van's windows were all tinted black, but Harvey could sense someone familiar looking at them.He suddenly realized who was inside the van. At that moment, he stoppe
In truth, Jesse did understand Harvey somewhat. He knew from the very beginning that with Harvey's character, he would not have killed Wilhelm.The reason he threw Harvey into prison was to protect him, other than it being the Xavier family's order as well. But he did not expect something like this to happen outside.Not only Donald had died, but all the young men and women he brought back also mostly died. All of them died the same way. They could not even resist, all of them slain in one slash. It was as if the person who killed them possessed incredible power and was very familiar with them.Other than Liza, who left the residence at the time, all the people from the other three Martial Arts Alliance who came back from overseas had been killed.The information was from Wolsing's precinct. It was absolutely unbelievable to them that something like this would happen at the country's seat of power. That was why the precinct contacted Wolsing's Dragon Cell, hoping they could work to
"Or maybe you forgot who you are, Jesse. How dare you conspire with the Islanders!" When Jesse heard Harvey's words, he narrowed his eyes. Harvey's questioning was sharp and dug into his heart. However, from Harvey's angle, he was not exactly wrong.Jesse took a deep breath and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. The Xavier family as a whole has its own considerations, as well as my own personal thoughts."But you are gravely mistaken. The Xaviers aren't conspiring with the Islanders. However, we simply don't want you to go to our family and mess things up before Yvonne is married. So… Harvey, stay here."On the one hand, this is for Yvonne's own good if you really care about her. On the other hand, isn't this my way of protecting you too? You can't imagine just how many people outside want you dead…"Firstly, I can understand why because I exposed just how shameless families like you are, despite my own contempt for it." Harvey shrugged. "But I don't understand your second point.
"We meet again, Harvey. What? Do you think Dragon Cell's fried chicken is to your taste, so you came in for a stroll?"At the same time when Donald was being killed, Jesse walked into the Dragon Palace's interrogation room and watched Harvey enjoying his fried chicken meal with a hint of helplessness on his face."I didn't want to, but they got me with some concrete evidence, so I have no choice," Harvey said as he put down his fork before turning over to Jesse. "I've got a few things I want to ask you, but you're quite hard to get a hold of. But I think it should be quite easy to see you here, so I came in.""Questions for me?" Jesse asked, confused. "That's why you're here?""What else?" Harvey said with a shrug. "Oh, right. I also want to see whether Wolsing's Dragon Cell has already completely fallen and if they can still uphold their justice and prove the ingenuousness of the innocents."If you can't prove my innocence in the shortest possible time, then I believe that Dragon
