“You’re planning to wager more than a billion yen. Right, Harvey?”“According to the rules here, the maximum amount you’re allowed to wager in the hall is a billion yen. If you want to wager more, you’d have to play in the VIP lounge.”“You can play anything you want there. Dice, Blackjack, Dominoes, Mahjong, anything you want…”Before the dealer could say anything in response, Sakura had already walked down from the second floor. There was no emotion on her face, but the hint of rage in her eyes was apparent.Harvey slammed the table furiously.“What gives you the right to tell me to move?!” Harvey exclaimed arrogantly.“I think this table brings me good luck!”“As long as I’m playing on this table, I’ll be able to win every single game!”“How dare you call me off the table as soon as you get here? Are you trying to lure me to the VIP lounge so you can get rid of me because you can’t afford to lose?”Harvey was acting very cautiously. The crowd’s eyes lit up as soon as they
“Alright. How would you like to play, Sir York?”“Do you still want to go all in, or would you like to wager in another way?”Aya shook the dice cup in her hand, then slammed it furiously on the table.Harvey chuckled.“Since there’s another dealer now, of course I’m going to play with you slowly.”“But it’s pretty boring to keep wagering just a hundred million.”“This time, I’ll wager one billion yen!”So saying, Harvey pushed one billion yen worth of chips forward.The crowd went wild. Nobody expected Harvey towager this much money after a new dealer was assigned. The two had not even played with each other yet.This could not be described as generosity.It seemed Harvey did not even care about the money.The women who previously couldn’t care less about Harvey were now filled with affection for him. In their hearts, he was suddenly the Prince Charming of their dreams.Aya subconsciously glanced at Sakura for a brief moment. Although she had taken control of the table jus
“The odds are twenty-four to one!”“Simply put, I won another twenty-four billion yen this round.”Harvey pinched the Islander’s face casually.“You really are my lucky goddess, babe!”“Don’t be scared. If you roll a few more Triples for me, I promise to buy you your freedom. I’ll even give you a few billion yen as well! You’ll be the top dog in an instant!”The Islander froze at Harvey’s words. Immediately after, her face bloomed with excitement.If Harvey spoke the truth, then he could change her fate in a blink of an eye!The other guests were exhilarated as well. Harvey managed to get three Triples in a row, after all!Harvey’s luck was clearly godly!Everyone could tell that he was a newcomer!If everyone followed Harvey’s wagers, they would surely make a fortune!Aya’s expression had turned wretched. Although she knew what numbers she rolled on the dice, she didn’t expect Harvey to guess correctly.She pushed a whole stack of chips to Harvey wordlessly.“Fine skill,
Harvey completely ignored Sakura’s horrible expression, and instead flashed a smile at Aya.“You’re good at rolling dice, but I’m also good at guessing your mind.”“Look. At the end of the day, gambling is just a psychological battle.”“Since I can guess what’s in your mind, that means you’re no match for me.”“Unless you cheat, there’s absolutely no way of you winning.”“How about this? If you grovel in front of me and call me Daddy, I’ll stop playing and let you off the hook.”“You…!”Aya was shaking in anger. She immediately grabbed the dice cup and shook it furiously without saying another word.This time, her speed was much, much faster than everything before. A loud bang resounded, and the cup landed right on the table once again.The sound of dice dissipated in an instant.Aya glared at Harvey.“Place your bets!” Aya exclaimed coldly.Harvey chuckled and touched his chips on the table.“There’s no point playing around anymore,” Harvey said, smiling pleasantly. “I’
“I’m incapable?”Harvey burst out laughing.“Have you even tried going against me on your own, Ms. Miyamoto?! How would you know?!”“Don’t you know that men like me are incapable of being incapable?!”Harvey snapped his fingers.Sakura chuckled coldly.“Judging from your looks, I don’t even need to try fighting you to know that you’re incapable, Sir York.” Sakura said, disdain clear on her face.“Is that so?”Harvey laughed again, and tapped on the table lightly.Following his movements, a die soundlessly turned into dust.And then, the second one…Then, the third…The crowd was dumbfounded. Sakura’s face was frozen solid.At this, the crowd burst into excited murmurs. “Four…”“Five…”“Six…”“Fifteen total! Big!”The guests were all shocked. Those who had ridiculed Harvey before froze, feeling as though they were suddenly slapped in the face.Sakura felt her strength sapping out of her body. She was horrified.She could not believe what she was seeing. There were o
“They cheated?!”“No wonder I’ve lost tens of millions of yen in just a week coming here!”“Same here! Other than a few hundred thousand yen I won on the first day, I’ve been losing more money every other day!”“I thought I was just unlucky! I didn’t think that they would even cheat!”“I even got my friend to come here! This place has no trust at all! I’m never coming here again!”“They’re treating us like idiots!”“I’m getting my money back!”Many gamblers were filled with anger and righteousness. They roared furiously as they ran up Sakura.“Give us back our money! Pay up!”Sakura was so angry, she was about to cough out blood. She squeezed past the crowd with great difficulty and hurriedly made a phone call.“Where’s Harvey? Where did he go?!”“Miss Miyamoto! There was a yacht out in the open seas. That man took all the chips and left! When we realized it, he was already gone!”Sakura began jumping up and down in a fit of rage. “Call him! Call Prince Terry right now!”
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he studied the map.“Interesting. I wonder if the Smith family can finally surprise me this time,” Harvey said calmly.“What do we have arranged for them?”“A dozen Longmen disciples are waiting to ambush them at the Marina. We acquired people who are experienced with firearms, just like you asked.” Rachel replied respectfully.“Should I get more people here, Branch Leader?”Harvey chuckled.“There’s no need. Today’s spectacle is only to sow a bit of discord between Hector and Terry.”“There is also a speculation that I need to confirm.”“That’s why I have other plans.”Harvey took out his phone and made a call.“What is it?”An aloof tone rang from the other side.Harvey smiled.“Didn’t I ask you to protect Michelle, Cora? How did she get caught, anyway?”“You asked me to keep her alive. Her life isn’t in danger, so why should that matter to me?” The tone of the speaker was cold and apathetic.Harvey was stunned, but then burst out laughing
Following Harvey York’s order, Fletcher Evans, who was at the top of the seven-story building, suddenly changed his expression.His expression changed unconsciously. He then jumped right into the sea on one side and bellowed at the same time, “Everyone out!”Boom!Before the mercenaries he brought with him could have reacted, the ground floor of the seven-story building suddenly exploded, and then a series of explosions simultaneously exploded.The flames were dazzling, the debris all over in the air, and a huge blast of air instantly spread out in all directions.There was no doubt that this place had already been rigged before Fletcher and his men arrived.Although he brought a lot of mercenaries here, it was utterly useless at this moment.Crushed!All the arrangements that were brought in front of Harvey were instantly crushed by him.Fletcher, who jumped into the sea, was swept away by the airblast. His body flew out, and his whole body was charred black. Plop. He only sl
"Bro! Big bro! I finally got it now! You're Harvey York, the guy who stole Dan's spot of becoming representative! To be able to become a lackey of someone like you… Oh, this is such a glorious day for me and my family!" Alexei said excitedly."Big bro, since this is your first time here, you're not familiar with Grand City, right? Let's see… Let me personally take you to the Golden Road! I have a car, so it'll definitely be faster than you travelling on foot, right?"Alexei had already swiftly got into his Range Rover. After starting the car, he performed a handsome drift and stopped right in front of Harvey. Harvey hesitated a little but still got into the car.Since… He really didn't know Grand City well. By the time he arrived, it might already be too late.As he got into the car, Harvey checked the texts in his phone. There should be a livestream from Geoffrey's people who were on the ground. The Dragon Gate training hall had always been quite discreet. While they had put up
After hearing that, Harvey was stunned. The corner of his eyes twitched. He didn't expect that Alexei would be so idiotic.One shouldn't say such words without running them through their mind first!When Alexei saw that Harvey didn't react, he continued. "What? Do you think my Senior Vaida is not pretty enough? Too aggressive? It's fine, there are plenty of clubs in Grand City too! I can always take you to the clubs to check on the pretty ones to make you understand what it means to have paradise on Earth! No matter what happens, you're my big bro now! You'll be my big bro forever! You have to protect me from now on!" As he said that, Alexei even wanted to drag Harvey to get their relationship certified.Harvey blinked. He really had no idea how to deal with someone like this. But with Alexei close by, Harvey believed that Alexei could able to help with his objective here. Currently, Grand City is like a body of still water. No matter how much things were bubbling underneath t
After saying all that, Vaida turned and left. Harvey understood that Vaida probably had some clues about this, but she needed to do her investigation.Harvey didn't know how to feel when he saw Vaida was back to normal. Other than mistaking him for her man of destiny, Vaida was acting like a normal person.Once Vaida's figure had completely disappeared, Alexei turned around and looked at Harvey for a while, his expression still dark. He snorted and said, "Don't take this the wrong way and think you're my big bro now, Harvey. It's true you saved me, but you still deserve to die for putting Senior Vaida in your crosshair! I'm someone who compartmentalizes these things. I'll repay you for saving me, but I'll snuff out your desire as well."Harvey smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry. I won't stay in Grand City for long.""Really?" Alexei said happily, but then he quickly spoke in a huffy manner. "If that's the case, you're my guest! No matter where you want to go, or what you want t
When Vaida saw that she managed to scare Alexei, she sighed. However, there was pity in her eyes. After a moment, she still coldly said, "Remember. From now on, Harvey is your big bro. From now on, you'll have to listen to everything he says in Grand City, okay? If you won't, I'll immediately kick you out. Understand?"Harvey didn't sense any maliciousness in Vaida's words. Instead, he could sense how frustrated and disappointed she was from her tone. If it wasn't because Alexei was being so useless, Vaida wouldn't be in the situation she was in right now.But… Harvey didn't hate Alexei's character. From a certain angle, he liked Alexei."Understood, Senior Vaida. I'll listen to you," Alexei said in a defeated tone. He even looked deflated physically, as if he was sighing.Looking at how pitiful Alexei was, Harvey couldn't stop himself from smiling. He took a step forward, saying, "Vaida, I was a little harsh on him just now, so it's not his fault. But both he and I got to know e
Harvey realized why Dan was the best choice to succeed the previous mayor. Vaida was schizophrenic, and then his oldest disciple was…this.Who else can the Belladonna Cult depend on other than Dan?"Senior Vaida! Where are you? We haven't met for so long, but you brought a man home just like this! He's bullying me! This Harvey is bullying me!" Alexei screamed. His next step was probably going to be rolling on the ground."I have enough! I don't want to live anymore! It's either he's gone, or I'm gone! It's either he dies, or I die! You have to know who has a closer relationship with you! Don't become an enemy to your dear junior just because of a pretty boy!" Alexei's face was full of tears and mucus. No matter how Harvey looked at him, Harvey felt like he didn't have much intelligence at all.Harvey's eye twitched. Whether it was an arrogant scion or a haughty young master, he could simply slap the man to the ground and kick him to the curb. But… What was he supposed to do w
Harvey was stunned. What was going on? The childhood friend was out here too? Harvey stared intently at the man with the machete, who looked around 23 or 24. He was at least around 200 pounds, and he looked like an explosive keg. While he held a machete, his face was a strange, pallid color.With just one look, Harvey was sure that had severe internal injuries and didn't manage to recover. Harvey glanced at the Beads of Eye he was carrying on his chest, finding it strange."Come out, Harvey! Face me if you're a man!" roared the man, looking like he was going to explode at any time. The moment he saw Harvey, who was on his way to go on a walk, he instantly stormed forward and raised his machete.He roared at Harvey, "You're that idiot Harvey, right? Tell me, how did you lie to Vaida? She's my goddess! You can't just get close to her whenever you want!"Harvey looked at him curiously. "Why don't you tell me who you are?""Who am I?" The angry man waved his machete. "I'm the olde
Harvey could not stop rolling his eyes as he could feel his head throbbing again, but he still suppressed what he was feeling. "Thanks, but I don't like anything too greasy in the morning. I prefer vegetarian if possible. You can put the deep-fried hoppers aside. I'll reheat it in the afternoon."Vaida blinked her beautiful eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "I see. We'll set it aside for now, then. This is a local delicacy in Grand City. You can't even buy this with money.""Thanks; I appreciate it," replied Harvey, feeling the pressure. He had no choice but to get himself a bowl of oats with milk and slowly eat it. Harvey was worried Vaida might add something special to the oats or milk, but after eating, he realized there was nothing weird in it. It was just delicious.If food also had realms, while this was not at the level of a True Warrior, it was definitely at the level of a King of Arms. That was something that Harvey found surprising."Right, Harvey. I heard you become
"Oh, right," Geoffrey remembered something else. "While Harvey was the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, his identity isn't accepted by the seven families of Grand City. In other words, he has no support in Grand City at all. Even if everyone recognized that he is indeed your man of destiny, it's difficult for him to become mayor. Grand City is no longer the same city as it was a decade ago."Vaida frowned and said, "Getting Harvey to garner support in Grand City is not difficult. Find a way to make him the leader of the Belladonna Cult. Before making him the mayor, we can make him the cult leader first."That way, not only can we make it easier for Harvey, but we can also disgust the hell out of Dan. He's been obsessed with taking over the cult, right? Does he really think he can become mayor after becoming the leader of two of the seven families? He's dreaming!"Geoffrey was speechless. "Things aren't as easy as you think. If you simply give the cult to Harvey
"Not to mention, during the decade that the ex-mayor had disappeared, the entire Grand City had lost their respect toward him and the Belladonna Cult. Even you have become someone who only existed in the fringe. While Grand City looks like it didn't have a singular leader, the Hierophant's prophecy was guiding everything."That’s why we must be patient. On the one hand, we needed to make Harvey accept all of this. On the other hand, we have to rebuild a solid foundation as we advance. We will make the entirety of Grand City understand that the Belladonna Cult is still the same cult that rules over all! Only then can we obtain everything he has left for us."Then, Geoffrey cleared his throat. "Even I can wait for so long. I believe you'll be fine, correct?"Vaida gave it a thought, but she still hesitated. It was good for her that someone like Harvey, who fit the prophecy, appeared. But the problem was… This was supposed to be done slowly. Trouble was brewing underneath Grand City. H
