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
Seeing that Zach was almost strangled to death, Wesley waved his hand. “Take them away! They must be punished by law! He must not die here!”A few inspectors stormed in and grabbed the father and son, taking them away.Naturally, Wesley had already contacted the police before coming here.Soon after, he and his men left the scene.The people present looked at Harvey, perplexed. Consultant York?!This man’s identity was terrifying!Even Mandy was shocked by Harvey. She couldn’t believe that her husband had become Buckwood government’s very own consultant!There was no paycheck for this position, but...The authority he held as a consultant was immense!Harvey was also in charge of the investment and business engagement forum. Safe to say, the fate of several small businesses lie in his hands.The Zimmers…They actually had such a powerful man in the family?!Harvey smiled and said, “Please sit. Isn’t this supposed to be a gathering?”The crowd all sat, looking mystified.
At the Gardens Residence.Mandy sat in front of Harvey while Simon, Lilian, and Xynthia sat on the side.The whole family was quite anxious.Anxiety aside, both Simon and Lilian were quite exhilarated.Mandy took a deep breath, then looked Harvey in the eye.“Darling, are you going to tell me everything that happened today? How did you even achieve your new status?”Harvey smiled. “Darling, I forgot to tell you.”“After leaving Sky Corporation, I found a new job.”“I’m now the consultant of the government of Buckwood.”“I’m in charge of the investment and business engagement forum as well.”Gasp—!“The government’s consultant?!”Simon gasped.“Harvey! You don’t have a fever, do you? You’re the consultant that the Buckwood government recently hired?! The legendary Consultant York?!”Lilian also asked hesitantly, “Mandy, you can’t joke about this. Although the status of Consultant York isn’t as high as Prince York or the Head Coach, it still bears a lot of weight!”“Harvey
In Buckwood, in a luxurious villa.Several leads of the Jean family from Mordu were gathered here.Todd Jean held the glass in his hand and looked at a document with a solemn expression.After a long time, Todd put down the document in his hand and whispered, “Elder, word came that they have found out who Harvey York’s backer is!“It turns out that Yoel Graham, the first-in-command of Buckwood, is his real backer!“And he’s currently the consultant to the Buckwood government. He is arguably the second most powerful big shot!“Very powerful and influential!”Todd showed fear on his face while saying those things.If they were in Mordu, the Jean family from Mordu would show no fear.However, this was Buckwood.Although the Jean family was a powerful force from outside, they couldn’t overwhelm the local forces!Todd took the document. After reading it for a while, he reached out his right hand and slammed it on the armrest, saying, “Although we’ve lost the Morgan Financial Grou
Drake shrugged nonchalantly and said to Journi, "I don't care whether you want to kneel, but you know my nickname well."As they spoke, Drake's right finger was already starting to pull the trigger.Journi gritted her teeth, but in the end, she slowly bent the knee. Harvey was stunned as he was going to make his move. There was surprise in his eyes. All these men and women from high society had their own pride. He did not expect her to be able to be so flexible in a time like this. She deserved his praise!"Tsk. Aren't you a princess? Aren't you always prideful? Don't they call you a goddess?" Drake looked at Journi disdainfully when he saw her kneel. He patted Journi's hand with a sneer. "You've always despised me, haven't you? Why are you kneeling before me now?"If it isn't because Ms. Isis desired you, do you think I'll let you kneel here? You're just a daughter from some second-rate top family. You think you're untouchable, and you want to go against us? Do you think you're an
Hearing Drake's words, Journi coldly said, "Drake, are you stupid? Do you know who you are? Are you threatening me? Ruin my face, then. Show me if you can actually bear the consequences of your action!"Journi was quite fearless. Besides Harvey being right next to her, it was also because Journi was sure Drake would not dare to do anything to her. She was a member of the Stanton family, after all. While the Stanton family was not one of the top ten families or one of the five hidden families, they were still one of the top families.If they butted heads and went all out, it would never end well for both sides."Ha! Don't think I didn't know Emery is no longer interested in you," Drake waved his hand, and four brawny men walked out, their eyes locked on Harvey and Journi."I gave you some respect in the past because Emery wanted you, so I did it for his sake. Do you really think you mean anything? And now? Who do you think you are? So what if I tell you to kneel and call her Queen?
Just when Harvey was giving Isis a good look, Jouni could not help but yelp as if she had discovered something novel. "Drake Ward? Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be back in the Northern Lands?"Harvey looked at Isis and instantly frowned. Then, his eyes turned to the man sitting opposite Isis. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had a buzz cut. He was also covered in tattoos and looked very aggressive. Most importantly, he was the only man from Country H who could be on the same level as all these foreigners here.And the way he looked at Isis was one of unrestrained aggression. However, despite clearly noticing that, Isis did not say anything else. That also explained the man's high status because, typically speaking, someone like Isis would definitely kill any man who gave her those looks."Drake Ward?" Harvey was curious. "Why does this name sound so familiar?""Of course it is," Journi replied coldly. "He belonged to one of the five hidden families, the Ward family o
Since the other side wanted to drop all pretenses, he also could do it his way. They lived in an era when fighting fire with fire was the only way to go. The man's expression froze, somewhat darkened. He did not expect this man to be the current chairman of Country H Commercial Group, which meant he had bitten off more than he could ever chew. If he had known, he would not have wasted his breath.But from how calm Harvey was, he could tell that Harvey was definitely someone who would honor his threats. If Harvey really did take this to Elric, then it would simply make everyone look bad. Even if they were sure this place had nothing to do with the commercial group, who would they complain to when Harvey locked all the exits?The moment that thought crossed the man's mind, he could only say with a straightened expression, "I see that you're the chairman, Mr. Harvey. If that's the case, please come in. My master wanted to meet you for a long time."When Journi saw the man had taken a
"True, this is not our territory," the man said with a smile, "but since Mr. Stanton rented this place to us, this place is under our management for the time being. When he rented us this place, we made a promise. Other than the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group, only the guests that we designated can enter this place. "Even gods will have to follow this rule. Not only are you trying to make it hard for us, but you're also making it hard for your father. I believe you won't make it difficult for us, right?The man gave Journi a meaningful smile. A woman who came to his master after submitting herself to him didn't have anything to be proud of.Journi's expression darkened. "What if I said this man is my boyfriend?""Boyfriend?" The man smiled. "He can't enter even if he's your husband. But I know you people like to break the rules all the time. If you want to force your way through, then we'll act accordingly."The man clapped; instantly, eight powerful-built men walked
The next day, eight o'clock in the evening… Harvey got into a car, and Journi was waving at him with a smile. In the past two days, Journi didn't interrupt him and Yvonne, and simply let them clean up everything that had happened earlier.Once it was almost done, only then did Journi ask Harvey to do as he promised and pretend to be her boyfriend.According to Journi, the man from Country A who liked her was becoming worse and worse. One time, he even went to the female toilet and she almost lost her innocence. All she wanted was for Harvey to deal with this properly.Originally, Harvey didn't want to make a move. When he heard how improper the man acted, he was furious and agreed to Journi's request. However, Journi said that this couldn't be taken care of using force alone. She hoped Harvey would go and meet him and settle this peacefully. This would be good for both sides.Originally, Harvey was going to ask Tyson to immediately teach that man a lesson. But since Journi requ
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
