Boom!At that instant, a group of people appeared at the door. Tens of security guards surrounded the chief manager as he strode in with his beer belly. His eyes twitched when he saw the chaotic scene before him. He did not expect so much to have happened in the time he made that call. However, the president was soon to arrive. He had a stable pillar to lean on, and thus he was exceptionally calm. “Hey little br*t, at first we only needed to send you to the police station for stealing that bank card. At most, you’d only have to endure a few days in jail.” The chief manager said, all the while smiling in delight. “Now that this has happened, I’m afraid that matters won’t be so simple for you anymore.” Harvey York lifted his head and looked up with a smile. “Have you come, Mr. Chief Manager? I have a question for you. Aren’t you afraid that you wouldn’t achieve whatever you have in mind? With this much arrogance, I’m afraid that you might not be able to save yourself no matter how
This would imply that the owner of this phone was one of the most distinguished VIPs of the bank. The Amex Black Card and the number on the phone’s screen. Although the man before him looked like a very poor man, the chief manager grew frightened nonetheless.There were indeed coincidences in the world. An Amex Black Card could appear in a poor man’s hands. The private customer service could have called the wrong number. However, when two unlikely coincidences appear together, some truths become evident. He started to burst into cold sweat. The chief manager, who was initially arrogant beyond words, was now drenched in sweat. His white shirt was sticking to his body.He lifted his head with much difficulty to look at Harvey York. Harvey had casually flung the team leader of the security guards to one side. His face was completely unperturbed as he sat on a chair. Thud! The chief manager knelt immediately. “S-Sir, no, no, no. Mr. CEO, I was completely blind and looked down on
The chief manager quickly replied, “President, I didn’t do that on purpose. I was just trying to protect the assets of our clients. How would I know that a distinguished VIP would personally come to the front desk to handle matters on his own? I thought that someone had stolen his card!”Dawson Robbin held a darkened countenance. He walked over and kicked the chief manager on the chest, and then turned back to Harvey with a smile. “Mr. York, see? These subordinates of mine simply made a mess out of good intentions. Could you be magnanimous and not take this matter to heart?”“No big deal.” Harvey York shrugged. “There have always been proud bullies like these. However, I still would like to seek justice over what had happened. President, could you do me a favor?”“Just say the word and I will attend to it wholeheartedly, so long as it is within my power to do so.” Dawson’s face was earnest. It was good news that such a major client was willing to make a request. This meant that he h
After everyone had left, Dawson Robbins smiled apologetically and said, “CEO York, if necessary, I can fire all of them by noon.”Harvey York replied faintly, “This concerns the internal affairs of your company. What does it have to do with me?”“Yes, yes, yes…” Dawson changed the topic. “As for the matter at hand, I still hope you would be magnanimous enough to forget about moving your assets elsewhere.”Dawson’s face was dripping with cold sweat. York Enterprise did not have much money in its accounts, with only about hundreds of millions. However, Harvey was different. The amount he possessed in his account was astonishing. If he moved his private account away, Dawson would be in dire conditions.“President, it’s not that I don’t want to give you a chance. I just don’t like how these things keep happening to me.”“No, it will never happen again.” At that instant, Dawson rose. “Our bank will tailor-make a professional team to handle any business matters you wish. They will come
“Miss Zachary told me about your predicament. It’s no big deal, really. I just need to make a call, and all will be good.”It was hard to read Jake Surrey’s thoughts. He surveyed Mandy Zimmer from top to bottom and exclaimed, “Miss Zimmer, you really are the goddess of Niumhi. There’s only one as beautiful as you. I have never believed the rumors, but I stand corrected after seeing you. It’s unfortunate you’re already married. Otherwise, I would very much like to court you.”Jake’s behavior was rather overbearing. When he spoke, his eyes rested on Mandy’s body with an intrusive leer which made her quite uncomfortable. However, she needed him to get acquainted with the upper management of York Enterprise. She couldn’t say much. “Mr. Surrey, you’ve misunderstood. Mandy is married, and that’s a fact. However, that marriage is only on paper. The reality is quite the contrary. That loser live-in son-in-law husband of hers had never once held hands with her in the past three years. Aunt
Harvey York strode past Cecilia Zachary, his eyes not deigning her even the smallest hint of attention. “Harvey… Harvey York?”At this moment, Harvey York finally caught her eye. Her delicate body trembled slightly. She was quite surprised at seeing him, and couldn’t shake off her awkwardness. It was evident that she did not anticipate meeting Harvey York on this occasion. “You’re really exceptional, Harvey York.” Cecilia hurriedly spoke, shooting Harvey a hateful glare. “It’s fine if you didn’t return home for the past few days, but I must say, being able to enter places like these just by becoming someone’s kept man is rather impressive. Calling you the king of kept men is just an understatement at this point!” Harvey York replied quietly, “You’ve met Yvonne Xavier before, she’s my classmate. Mandy knows.”“Classmates?” Cecilia Zachary let out a cold snicker. “If you’re really just classmates, then why are you sitting in the front passenger seat? Tell me, how did you manage
“Wyatt Johnson?” Mandy Zimmer’s body went stiff with surprise. To meet him in this place was nothing short of unexpected. Cecilia smiled and said in a tone of jest, “What a coincidence, Wyatt. What brings you here?”Cecilia Zachary had some knowledge about the ins and outs of Wyatt Johnson. The Johnson household was nothing but a third-rate family. Logically speaking, he had no right to attend the Mountain Top Auction.She and Mandy were only able to attend because of Jake Surrey’s grace, so she grew curious as to how Wyatt Johnson was able to take part in the auction.Wyatt Johnson replied cheerfully, “I got lucky recently and made some pocket change. I just happened to get an invitation, so here I am.”Saying that, Wyatt instantly felt ill. The past few nights serving that old woman had taken a huge toll on him. He had to take heavy medication because of it. Even then, he was slowly losing consciousness. On the other hand, she treated him exceedingly well. Not only did she give
Harvey York paid no attention to Cecilia Zachary’s scathing remark and simply laughed.“Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I do in fact have an invitation.”“Hahaha! You really do get more and more interesting by the minute.” Jake Surrey pointed at Harvey York. “I’ve met a lot of show offs, but one who goes this far is truly rare. Look, if you can show us your invitation right now, I’ll leave this place straight away and not say another word. But if you lose, you get out. What do you say?”Jake Surrey’s lips curved into a tiny smirk.“Listen, kid. If I were you, I’d turn around and leave right away to avoid further embarrassment to your wife.”Wyatt Johnson grinned. “Mr. Surrey, you forget. What sort of self-respect does a live-in son-in-law have left? Every bit of it is long gone by now!”Harvey York chuckled nervously, saying, “Fine, let’s gamble. I’d like to see who leaves next.”As he spoke, he reached into his pocket. The next second, his body froze. Though he did indeed bri
"Camellia?" Harvey said with a faint smile. "That sounds like the name of an ordinary housewife. Anything special about her?"Clarion's eyes twitched before saying, "Camellia is one of our distant relatives. When she was young, she was called the "Queen Bee". It was said that when she was young, the reason she fought was to make her opponents into her servants. If Grand City had a criminal underworld, then Camellia would be the queen of this underworld. "I've already cleaned up the car park, so Platinum Casino probably won't know what happened yet. However, Camellia has too many contacts in Grand City. It won't take long before she finds out it's you."Clarion hesitated for a little before continuing, "Mr. Representative, while you're very strong, Camellia's just too much of a pervert. I have a feeling that you two will see each other soon. Either you find a way to make peace with her, or you hide. If you do become enemies, then she won't stop until either one of you is dead."It
"Bastard!" All the men in black exchanged a glance and all pounced at Harvey with a dagger. Harvey looked like he could fight, but they were sure that one man couldn't win a fight when outnumbered.They were going to use their numbers to kill Harvey.Slap! Smack! Slap!Harvey didn't let them have their way and immediately slapped the men in black. He struck all of them onto the ground with one slap each.It was just a simple slap, but Harvey made their faces swollen and destroyed their self-confidence. They couldn't understand how despite being so slender, Harvey could fight so well.Forget about retaliation. They couldn't even avoid a slap from Harvey!The woman instantly pointed her gun at Harvey and sneered coldly, "You brainless, ignorant fool. You don't understand who you've crossed and what crime you have committed!"Slap!Before she could finish, Harvey had already appeared in front of her and slapped her away too. She screamed, thrown into midair, her back slamming ag
The woman who was drinking coffee frowned. It was obvious she was very unhappy with Havey's sudden interference."Kid, don’t you know you shouldn't meddle in affairs that don't concern you?" The bald man glanced at Harvey, disdain on his face. "There are many times when those who meddle in others' affairs die horribly."The bald man gestured to his men and the three of them pounced at Harvey, obviously wanting to teach him a lesson. However, they had just gotten a little closer when Harvey took a step forward.It was just a simple move, but the woman who was drinking coffee froze before yelling, "Baldie! Watch out!"The bald man was also instantly soaked with sweat. Harvey was just too fast! He never imagined someone could move so fast. Before he could even retreat, Harvey had already appeared right in front of him and slapped him.Smack!There was a loud smack, and Harvey's hand had already hit his face. The bald man's head slammed onto the ground, blood instantly flowing from
"I can't explain everything. I'm at the car park in Grand City's Central Business District! Please, save me!" Mrs. Hoffman begged. Harvey could hear the fear in her voice.While Harvey didn't know what had happened, he knew that if it wasn't because she was already cornered, she wouldn't have asked a stranger for help. He immediately put on the GPS and said, "Wait for me. I'll be there in three minutes tops."Very quickly, he drove into the car park and parked at a relatively hidden corner. Once he got out of the car, he put on a face mask. Opening the door, he saw a few men in black forcing a woman in a traditional garb into the corner.They held a cigar in their hands, huffing and puffing. They would even snicker perversely. A few security guards handling the safety of the car park weren't that far away, but they stood far away in the corner, too frightened to look.From that alone, it was obvious that these men in black's status must be quite high.Behind them, a coffee table
Harvey was feeling extremely awkward. He faked a cough and changed the topic. "Mr. Wenzel, I don't know what you've been doing in the last decade, but for you to be able to return in such a critical time means you've been paying attention to Grand City all this time, correct? You have let things take its course in Grand City, haven't you?"At Harvey's words, Wenzel and Vaida both put aside the matter of Harvey's marriage.There was a hint of surprise in Wenzel's eyes. "Why do you think that?""Simple. From the way Dan managed to become a scion, I can tell there are plenty of different factions within Grand City. All these factions are probably only respectful of you on the surface. The moment you disappeared, they did everything they could to push Dan into the seat of power so that they could have a puppet they could control."It's sad Dan didn't realize that and simply believed he was skilled in the game. In truth, without their protection, he's no one worth mentioning."Wenzel
Wenzel chuckled and said to Harvey, "You're too humble, Harvey. While you're not the chef, you're the customer. The customer is always right in matters of taste. As a chef, I have to make sure my customers are happy, correct? Otherwise, no one will come anymore."What I want to know is whether you want to be full, or to have a good meal. If you just want to be full, there's plenty for you to taste. But if you want to have it good, you can probably eat a few loaves in the morning. You'll be hungry before lunch."Harvey gave it a thought after listening to Wenzel. Still, he sighed and said, "In reality, I want both. The oven tests a chef's patience a lot. You need to do it again and again, but you need different heat for different pastries. The faster you want them done, the harder it is to make them delicious."That's why if you ask me, rather than trying to simply be full, I believe that one should make each pastry the best it possibly can. If there's something you can't bake or can
"Once everything was ready, Lord Howell then stood on the hill overlooking Lord Felipe's camp across the Red River. He believed his victory was at hand. "Suddenly, a cold breeze blew and the flag of his army hit his face. Only then did he suddenly realize that Lord Felipe's ships were coming from the North, while his own ships were stationed in the South. This was during winter, and the wind was blowing the Northwest. Using a fire attack would not only spare Lord Felipe's forces, but his own ships would also be burned."Lord Howell fell sick and he couldn't be cured. All the generals and soldiers were very nervous. At this time, Lord Kye's chief strategist Lord Albion came to visit him. He said to Lord Howell, 'I have a prescription to cure you of your disease. To defeat Lord Felipe, flame is the best weapon. Everything is ready now except for the Divine Wind.""The wind changed direction as soon as he said that, and Lord Felipe was defeated. And that wind had decided the national
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the ambulance quickly appeared and took Dan and everyone away. Whether they had truly fainted or pretended to faint, they all cooperated throughout the ordeal.At the very least, fainting was better than being humiliated.And that was how a political move ended quickly before it could even officially begin. Everyone watching this was somewhat speechless. Their attention finally shifted to Harvey for a while before disappearing.Harvey couldn't be bothered by them. He smirked and then turned the streaming app on his phone off.After this, Lapis had become much more careful. She quickly arranged for more personnel to defend all the residence's entrances and exits. At the same time, she also sent more personnel to keep an eye on Dan so that something like this wouldn't happen again.Harvey simply shrugged and said nothing. He believed something like this wouldn't occur again. Dan was no fool. He would know that the same trick wouldn't work twice.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!Stickers of rockets filled the chat on the phone's screen. Harvey looked at the stickers and happily said, "Looks like you can attract quite the attention, Dan! You're almost as popular as a small YouTuber! The rocket sticker is one dollar, I think. There are so many here, meaning you've already earned around 60 dollars by kneeling a minute here! This is so worth it!""You…" The prideful Dan could feel himself choking. Suddenly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.He was the scion of Grand City. The scion of Parkerville! Yet to Harvey, he had just become a YouTuber who could earn 60 dollars a minute. Most importantly, Harvey was streaming him kneeling in front of numerous netizens. He ground his teeth, infuriated.Not that far away, Clarion and Neve quickly left. The moment Harvey appeared, they had a very bad feeling. When they saw Harvey fix his phone on the selfie stick, they could feel a chill down their spine. Realizing they weren't part of the st
