George smiled complacently when he noticed the awful complexions that dawned on the faces of the Great Country H’s citizens.He was a nobleman of the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. For a man like him to invest in such a poor country was akin to a charity visit. When he was still in the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, he had heard that some of the citizens of the Great Country H worshipped everything foreign and fawned over foreigners.Now, it seemed that was true.All these merchants from the great Country H were frightened of him!George turned to Mandy with a smug look. “Pretty lady, you’ll gain innumerable benefits if you go out with me!”“Not only can I show you the traditional culture of the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, but I can also help you obtain a green card that will allow you to become a citizen there!”George was determined.When he was in the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, he had also heard that there were many beauties residing in this mysteriou
“Him?”Harvey laughed.“Morgan Financial Group is just a third-class financial group in the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. Why are they acting like they’re such a big deal here in the Great Country H?”Harvey wasn’t simply talking out of his hat. Back when he was still on the battlefield, the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets had surrendered a lot of shares of their financial groups as gifts to ransom the nobles Harvey captured.The Morgan Financial Group wasn’t among them.It could be said that this financial group was just so-so. They might even be rated as low-class in the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Thus, Harvey thought that it was unnecessary for these big shots to fear Morgan Financial Group.It didn’t matter even if Morgan Financial Group was from the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.In the previous battle, five powerful nations joined forces, but they were still defeated by Harvey.The Great Country H had already risen in the world. There was no need to
“He’s indeed a noble from the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. His actions are ruthless!”“The aristocratic heritage of the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets is too profound. We can’t be compared to it!”“He has diplomatic privileges so he doesn’t need to pay a lot of taxes when he gets Regency Enterprise. Based on this point alone, we’ve lost!”The large families were all abuzz, their complexions awful.Even if they continued to increase prices, there was a high probability that they would only lose money under such circumstances.At the moment, the senior executives of Regency Enterprise were thrilled. It wasn’t a matter of price. If they were wholly-owned by Morgan Financial Group, then they would become a foreign-funded enterprise.Foreign-funded enterprises receive better treatment than domestic enterprises.These senior executives had been in Regency Enterprise for many years, and had grown unscrupulous.They couldn’t care less about their country. They simply wanted
It was important to know that the men of Morgan Financial Group originated from the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Even if there were a few citizens from the Great Country H working in the company, they were basically green card holders living in the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Therefore, they too enjoyed diplomatic privileges when in the Great Country H.Such men took advantage of this privilege. Thus, they knew that the government would always try to be on their side whenever they faced a conflict with citizens of the Great Country H.Normally, no one wanted to antagonize foreigners with diplomatic privileges.Yet, right now, someone actually dared to provoke the citizens from the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Especially George, who was a baron!Even within the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, he was considered to be part of the ruling class.He stared at Mandy and Harvey from a distance, smiling grimly.So they dare to anger him?This moron, who’d never s
After announcing the price, George shot Harvey a defiant look.546 million was the highest price Morgan Financial Group could afford.They had to set aside some funds to settle in Buckwood.George wanted to see if this man dared to follow.If he didn’t, Regency Enterprise would fall into Morgan Financial Group’s hands.However, should Harvey continue to increase the price, George couldn’t follow up and add on the price anymore.Nonetheless, George wanted to see how this low-class monkey could come up with 546 million.At this moment, everyone’s eyes fell on Harvey.Mandy, who was on the side, looked nervous.Judging by George’s expression, everyone knew he couldn’t pay a higher price.Everyone wanted to see what Harvey would do. Harvey smiled at George and raised his placard. He said indifferently, “625 million.”These few words, spoken lightly, shocked everyone present.“What?!”“625 million?!”Everyone’s complexions became awful when they heard this price.Everyone a
George’s face was filled with arrogance.His warning shook everyone back to their senses. That was 625 million!It wasn’t merely 6.25 dollars!Did this seemingly ordinary Harvey really have the money?At this moment, the complexions of the Buckwood government officials present became awful.If Morgan Financial Group used this event as an excuse to create trouble, some of them might lose their jobs.After all, they were in charge of this auction. Naturally they would take the credit if it succeeded, but it would also be their responsibility if it failed.A government official stood up and turned to Harvey. “Sir, you need to prove you have enough assets to participate in this auction!”“If you can’t, you’ll be temporarily detained for disrupting international business activities.”“You must also apologize to the honorable Sir George.”At these words, Harvey asked nonchalantly, “I have to prove it? What about him?”Harvey pointed at George.The staff member smiled and said,
George knew what a live-in son-in-law meant.A cold chuckle leaked out of him.“You’re actually looking down on me when you’re just a kept man?”“I already told you. If you can’t prove your worth, then this will be considered a diplomatic dispute. I’m afraid you and your wife have to come with me to the embassy!”Harvey chuckled icily.“And what if I refuse?”“Then I shall report this incident to the Empire Parliament. I think they would want to inquire your government for a statement!” George retorted coldly, a threatening expression on his face.In the past, it would be unfavorable for him to do something like this.“You threaten me? And my country?”Harvey frowned.“So what if I threaten Country H? It’s just a country full of monkeys anyway!”George chuckled coldly.The people present all frantically changed their expressions after hearing those words. Even those from the Buckwood government did the same.Although quite a lot of people fawned on foreigners, how many of
“This!”Gasps from the crowd echoed throughout at this very moment.“It worked?”“How is that even possible? He actually paid six hundred and twenty-five million dollars?”Those from Morgan Financial Group became so terrified, to the point where they almost fell to the ground on their hinds. The ashtray in George’s hand fell onto the carpet with a loud clang.This…How did he meet such an amazing mega tycoon the very first time he came to Country H?Out of everyone there, Mandy was the most shocked. She could barely comprehend how Harvey had made the Naiswells give her the resort before.But he actually had six hundred and twenty-five million dollars to buy Regency Enterprise?Where did he get all that money from?The pocket money Mandy gave him could never accumulate to that amount!Before Mandy could return to her senses from her shock, a Buckwood government worker said respectfully, “Mr. York, please follow us backstage to go through the formalities!”Clearly, the wo
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
After hearing what Harvey had to say, everyone exchanged glances. Lune and Sol were very experienced, and they quickly zoomed into the video recording and started to check the details. After carefully scanning it, everyone noticed Neve's action was extremely mechanical, and her eyes were completely blank. Even her actions activating the Rainstorm Needles were extremely puppetlike.When Neve saw this, she was shocked. "How can I fall under someone else's control like this? I'm trained in Servitas' school of martial arts, and it demands extremely high mental mastery. How can I fall into someone's control so easily? Not to mention that one doesn't have to use the Six-Paths Fragrance to control me, right? But most importantly… I've never fallen for someone's mind control until Harvey appeared… Could it be that it's you who are controlling me?" Neve immediately turned to look at Harvey, looking vigilant.Harvey rolled his eyes. "What's the point of me doing that?""So you can get my gran
"Stop! Everyone, stop!" When Lune and Sol saw what was happening, they were stunned and stopped right before Harvey. They knew Geoffrey's condition, so they were very sure that it was Geoffrey's inner demon going wild just now."Drop all your Rainstorm Needles right now! We can decide everything once Mr. Geoffrey is awake!" Lune ordered the men and quickly checked the mobile that was already set up nearby, wanting to see what was happening."Are you stupid, Lune? Didn't you see that my grandpa is almost dead because of him? Sol, stop them right now! Do it! Kill Harvey! Kill whoever dares to stop you!" Neve screamed, on the verge of a breakdown.The dozens of security guards exchanged glances and hesitated and did not dare move when they saw how chaotic it was in the study."We'll see who's behind this right now!" Lune had already grabbed the phone, and he immediately projected what the phone had recorded onto the wide-screen TV in the study.Soon, they all saw how Neve appeared at
Harvey instinctively kicked Geoffrey's chair when he narrowed his eyes, looking at what was happening. There was a bang, and the chair fell to the ground. The silver needles from the Rainstorm Needles flew past where the two of them were just moments ago, striking the big desk.Instantly, a big hole appeared on the desk, and corrosive liquid flowed out. It was terrifying. However, Neve blankly raised her right hand. Just as Harvey was about to make his move, Geoffrey appeared right before Neve and grabbed her right hand tightly, his expression brutal."How dare you… I have raised you for twenty years! And now, you want to kill me? Time to die!" As Geoffrey said that, he moved Neve's arm and aimed the Rainstorm Needles in her sleeve right on her own forehead.Harvey blinked, and he instantly knew what was happening.Because of Neve's assault, the inner demon within Geoffrey clawed its way out. Geoffrey had already lost control. Meanwhile, Neve started to regain some clarity from the
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
