Harvey ignored everyone, and instead glanced at his clothes.“My wife gave me this shirt. I’m very fond of it.”“I’m angry right now, but I’m giving you a chance. Tell the ambassador of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to come kneel and apologize to me. If not, I won’t let you off the hook until all of our grievances have been avenged!”“What?! The ambassador of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets?!”His words had utterly shocked everyone present.Everyone was dumbfounded.After ten whole seconds, the crowd came back to their senses.“Harvey, are you mad? Do you know what that means?”“You want the ambassador of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to kneel and apologize to you? Dare you accept the apology?”“If word spreads, this will be considered a diplomatic dispute!”“You’re mad! You’re actually insane!”“Are you even worthy?! You’re just a live-in son-in-law! You don’t have the right, even if you were supported by Prince York himself!”Zach and the others were
Harvey threw out a kick, immediately breaking Eddy’s knee.Eddy let out a scream akin to a pig being slaughtered, and fell into a kneel before Harvey.Slap!Harvey then made his way to Tracy and slapped her so hard until she collapsed to the ground. The slap was so powerful, it seemed to have turned her face crooked.In no less than a minute, the two who had openly flaunted their pride were now brought to a kneel before Harvey.“Harvey? Do you know what you’re doing?! You just hit someone from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets! You’re looking to get yourself killed!”“Harvey, you’re insane!”Zach and Dexter’s sights turned black. Even if they wanted to stop Harvey, they had no courage to do so. Harvey turned to gaze calmly at them. Then, he casually grabbed a wine bottle on the table.Shatter!The sound of glass breaking rang out as the wine bottle burst into pieces. Eddy’s head was now dripping with copious amounts of blood, and his body was swaying all over.“I’ll sma
Harvey chuckled.“Why should we run?”“I’m still waiting for the ambassador from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to come and apologize.”“...”In under ten minutes, a luxurious car bearing a diplomatic license appeared in front of Westin Diner.Several men immediately rushed out from the car, heading straight to the box on the third floor.Eddy’s spirits were lifted when he heard the echo of leather boots outside.Zach and Dexter, among many others, grew exhilarated.A group of tall and strong western-looking men with blonde hair and blue eyes stormed inside.They wore layers and layers of clothing, and some even had fake white hair on.The one leading the group was a middle-aged western man. One look was enough to discern that he had been to war. He carried a powerful aura with him.He was none other than the ambassador of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, Viscount Rubert, in the flesh.He had another identity attached to his name, and that was the ex-vice comma
Rubert was only able to sigh in relief after kneeling for a long time.He raised his head to look at Harvey, trembling.The moment he confirmed Harvey’s face, he lowered his head in fear once more.“Are…are you alright?”His followers had no courage to look Harvey in the eye. Like Rubert, they were all trembling on the ground, completely terrified.Harvey replied calmly, “I’m fine, but the people from your country sure are bold.”“They had the gall to force my wife to sell Regency Enterprise.”“Then they dared to dirty my favourite shirt.”“Should I take all these as your country provoking me on purpose?”“No, no, no, no! Your Excellence! We mean no such thing! No such thing at all!”Rubert grovelled on the ground, filled with fear.“The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets does not allow this! There must be a fool here who’s causing a ruckus!”“I’ll be sure to give you a fair statement!”Rubert turned around as he knelt, sending a furious glare at those from Morgan Financial
What kind of identity did Harvey have?!Even the vice CEO of Morgan Financial Group was this scared of him!My God!Unbelievable!Nobody could even begin to guess Harvey’s identity.Harvey said calmly, “Forget it, don’t bring their family into this. Just let the person who caused all this to give me a statement. There’s no need to get other people involved.”“Yes! Of course! I’ll be sure to give you a fair statement! Please wait!”Charley crawled up and glared at Eddy, who was lying on the ground. “What is going on here? I let you be the representative of Morgan Financial Group so that you can earn us more benefits, not for you to stir up this much trouble!”“Do you understand that your actions today will cause the group to suffer unsurmountable losses? Maybe even drive us to complete bankruptcy?!”Eddy trembled in fear“This is unfair! Who is he?! Why can he just trample on me like this?!”“Unfair?!”Charley chuckled coldly. “You have no right to know this man’s identity!”
Later, Charley and Rubert swiftly left along with the rest of their people.The banquet fell into dead silence.Everyone was shivering to no end as they stared at Harvey, full of fear.They were not idiots.Harvey could easily suppress someone from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets. Since that was the case, his words were enough to make everyone present lose everything.Harvey smiled and looked at Zach. His tone was cold. “I heard that you went out of your way to cause a ruckus on my wife’s worksite, Mr. Zach.”“Those were three old renovation projects approved by Yoel Graham himself. Did you suddenly attain the courage of the gods? You actually dared to halt the projects?”Cold sweat dripped from Zach’s head. He knew full well that the man in front of him had an extraordinary status.He even had the urge to kneel at this moment.But as a government official, he understood.He could not kneel no matter what! He had to fight for reason, even if he died trying.If not, his
Not long after, a car stopped at the entrance of Westin Hotel.A middle-aged man sporting a large belly walked gloomily out of the car.When Zach saw the man, he was filled with joy. He immediately rushed forward.“Father! You’re finally here! You must help me regain justice!”Zach’s father, Richard, carried a strong stench of alcohol. He was obviously drinking moments ago.He looked at Zach and asked, “Who is it?! How dare anyone disrespect me in Buckwood?!”Zach was still calm. He gestured at Harvey and whispered, “That’s him, Father. But his identity seems to be quite extraordinary.”“Extraordinary?”Richard sized up Harvey, then let out a derisive snort.“I’ve been working for the government for so many years. I’ve never seen a man as young as this with an extraordinary identity in the government!”“No matter how high a person’s status is, they’re all trash before government officials!”Zach received a burst of courage after hearing his father’s words.He initially assu
Boom!The words hit Zach like a strike of lightning, turning him weak.Richard trembled in fear, now completely sober.The father and son stared at Wesley in disbelief.Zach was fired…He was fired this easily?!Zach sank to the ground, his face pale. Richard soon returned to his senses. He snarled coldly, “Wesley, don’t forget that we have powerful people supporting the Braffs!”“Can you bear the consequences of firing my son so hastily?”Wesley, in return, glared daggers at Richard.“You have powerful people behind you? Richard, I ask you not to say their names! They’d just end up dead along with you!”“Wesley! You’re only the first-in-command of Buckwood’s housing system. Your status is equivalent to mine! How dare you threaten me?!”Richard flew into a fit of rage.“Threaten you?”Wesley chuckled coldly.He immediately called a number and said in a respectful tone, “Mr. Graham, I’ve arrived at the scene. I’ve already kicked the bug out of the housing system.”“But
Soon, Harvey and Alexei walked into the auction hall discreetly with their heads low.The auction hall was incredibly spacious. It resembled a grand stadium, with individual seats placed all over. In the middle of the stadium was a tall auction platformThere was still some time before the start of the auction, but most of the guests were already there. Everyone nodded toward each other and started chatting. Not only was this an auction, but a lot of people also treated this as a place where they could socialize.Harvey and Alexei had been brought to seats at the corner by the staff. Harvey didn't mind this location. He picked up a tablet in front of him and started to swipe it. The content was mostly about the items up for auction."Hello, everyone! It is good to see all the familiar faces in Grand City's Charity Auction once more," said an old man with a cool expression in traditional garb as he appeared on the platform. His voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear.There w
Harvey frowned. "Isn't that a little too far-fetched? An Oracle Text that can predict the future?"Alexei shook his head. "Don't underestimate the Hierophant, Big bro. Few people throughout history could decipher the Book of Changes so thoroughly. "It was said that there was a prince from some oil-producing country who managed to get an Oracle Text that showed the word Chaos."It was predicting that his country would fall into chaos. That prince made early preparations. Half a year later, that country fell into chaos, but the prince managed to prepare for it and suppressed the chaos. He even gained a lot of benefits from it. "After that, the Hierophant's Oracle Text became extremely popular!"Alexei spoke as if he were explaining to Harvey some ancient secrets. He glanced around sneakily, like he was worried that someone would hear him gossiping about the Hierophant.After Harvey heard it, he became curious. "Looks like this Hierophant really has something unique about him. No
Around ten in the evening, Alexei took Harvey to the Grand City's Charitable Auction. The auction was organized by the priesthood. Every time they had an auction, they would invite the socialites to attend.To the socialites, the mysterious Grand City would only show a little bit of itself around this time. In this auction, everyone used H dollars. Of course, there were times when bartering was possible, with the preface that both sides found the trade agreeable.Harvey had also learned about the details of the auction before coming. The mayor was at the top of the social hierarchy, followed by the Seven Families. However, because Wenzel had been missing for all these years, the Hierophant had been leading the Seven Families. That was why the Priesthood's social standing was far higher than before, despite being just a non-essential body in the past.For example, the one who chaired this auction this evening was the so-called Priestess. Harvey had heard plenty of rumors about
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
