Chapter 137

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
“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

    On the other side of the phone, Yvonne sounded helpless.“We just got into the lobby, but somehow Mr. York was forced out by a waiter. I’m looking for him right now…”Yvonne saw Harvey York sent out of the building without knowing the reason why.“Huh?” Dawson Robbins stammered in disbelief. “How do these people even do their jobs? How about this? I’ll come out to escort the both of you. Please wait a moment.”Dawson hung up and swiftly arrived at the main hall.Jake Surrey saw Dawson scurrying in his direction. He patted his clothes and signalled Mandy Zimmer with his eyes. Ambition written all over his face, he hurried over to greet Dawson Robbins.“Mr. Robbins, I am…” Dawson hurried past him without even batting an eye in his direction.The hand Jake had reached out froze in mid air, leaving him quite embarrassed.Cecilia Zachary behind him intervened quickly. “That was Mr. Robbins just now, right? Judging from how he looked, he must be going to escort a highly important g

    At this moment, the waiter’s body quivered.‘There’s no way that this woman is actually Mr. Robbins’, right? If so, this kept man…’The thoughts he had were written all over his face. He almost couldn’t hold them in.Harvey wasn’t in a hurry, anyway. ‘Jake Surrey used his connections with the higher-ups of York Enterprise to get close to Mandy. The problem is, they won’t do him any good either way.’The moment the waiter arrived, Harvey said to him, “Didn’t you say I can’t attend the auction without an invitation? Why are you here, asking me back? What kind of joke am I to you?”The waiter was screaming on the inside.‘You wretched kept man! No, you disloyal cheater! How dare you still try to show off? If it weren’t for Mr. Robbins, you wouldn’t even have the qualifications to sweep the bathroom floors of the Mountain Top Villa!’Alas, he dared not reveal these emotions. Instead, he said respectfully, “I beg your pardon, sir. I didn’t know you were an important guest of Mr. Ro

    Her cold and elegant demeanour painted an exceptionally glamorous image, but her smile roused many hearts into excitement.When she looked around Dawson Robbins, she caught sight of Harvey York and grew puzzled.‘What kind of reputation does Dawson Robbins have? Why is there a shabby looking man near him?’Rosalie knew her way around the world. She held herself from questioning about the man. Around this point of time, Jake Surrey and Mandy Zimmer had already entered the hall. Wyatt Johnson on the other hand, did not. He was mesmerized by Rosalie’s stunning appearance. He walked over, and let out a cold laugh.“Oh? If it isn’t the live-in son-in-law from the Zimmer household?” Wyatt said suavely, inching closer. “Weren’t you kicked out before? How did you manage to sneak back in?” “Mr. Robbins, young miss… This man is the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer household infamous throughout Niumhi. I’m not sure how he got in such a classy place like this, but I would suggest you don’t

    Wyatt Johnson chuckled coldly.“No need to thank me. Even if you leave now, I would have to inform the Zimmers about the thief from their household coming here to taint my eyes. It won’t do if I don’t demand an explanation from them.”“Of course, I can give you a chance. Grovel and beg for forgiveness, and I’ll let it slide. What do you say?”Harvey York smiled wordlessly, not deigning Wyatt any reply.Dawson Robbins couldn’t hold himself back and burst out, “Mr. Johnson, are you out of your mind?”Dawson had always wanted to be acquainted with Harvey for some time, but there had been no opportunities. Inviting him to the Mountain Top Auction was simply an act of apology.He knew that Harvey York was a discreet person, hence why he was just standing from the sidelines during all this. But when he saw that he was being insulted, he couldn’t withstand it a second longer.“Mr. Robbins, do you really think that the existence of this live-in son-in-law won’t be a thorn in my eyes?”

    If they continued to argue with each other, the Naiswells might be burdened too. That was unnecessary for Rosalie Naiswell. After all, the reason she went there was none other than for the auction.“Miss Naiswell, please wait for a moment…” Wyatt Johnson became nervous. ‘I had taken a slap for you. How could you leave just like that?’At that moment, he caught up with Rosalie while turning around. He then said with an ugly facial expression, “Dawson, it’s over for you now. Just you wait and see. Tomorrow, I’ll transfer my family's money out of the bank. You won’t be able to be the CEO of the bank anymore!”At that moment, Dawson Robbins did not even look at Wyatt. However, he turned around and looked at Harvey York. He then sighed and said, “Mr. York, I acted rashy, and I didn’t hold myself back. I hope you don’t mind.” Harvey smiled faintly and said, “If you didn’t do anything about it when someone scolded you and claimed that you’re stupid, I’ll really look down on you, Dawson

    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

    "That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she

    "Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo

    Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.

    "Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve

    "What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might

    "Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
