Joseph narrowed his eyes for a moment.“A few days later, the second phase of my property’s launch will be held in Flutwell’s new district.”“If all three thousand properties can be sold, we’ll have most of our funds back.”“For now, let’s just focus on that.”“As for Harvey, we’ll let August handle it.”“Tell him to use force if playing dirty doesn’t work. I treated him well for this day.”“If Harvey doesn’t die, August dies!”…“Cheers!”“For Brother-In-Law’s innocence!”“I told you he’ll be fine!”Six o’clock in the evening. In the Flutwell Hotel, Harvey and the others were sitting under the bustling lights of a box.Xynthia used her own money to treat everyone to a meal.Aside from Mandy and her family, Rachel, Kayden, and the others were invited as well.Unlike the rest, Lilian had a horrible expression.She didn’t think that Harvey would be able to get out of the situation completely unscathed and still be together with her daughter. She couldn’t help but grit her
Ten o’clock at night. In the Hatchet Gang’s base camp.Harvey was casually making himself some tea in the garden.A slender figure could be seen walking from afar not long after.“Your wife won’t get jealous of me for this, right, Sir York?” Rachel said with a smile before taking a seat in front of Harvey.She was wearing a gown made of silk. Together with her wavy hair, her exquisite feminine look was quite apparent.Harvey admired her beauty before flashing her a warm smile.“Are you going to tell me that I’ll anger Mandy just by drinking tea and watching the moon with you?”Rachel smiled back.“Of course. I’m different from the others. I only care about you, after all…”Harvey chuckled. He didn’t think Rachel would crack jokes like this, especially considering her serious demeanor.He poured a cup of tea for Rachel before changing the subject.“Alright. Enough jokes.”“Let’s talk business.”“Let Mandy take care of the company starting tomorrow.”“You deal with Longmen’
During the chaos at the police station last time, August had bodyguards of the Bauer family with him. Unfortunately, there were simply too many journalists chasing after him.The bodyguards wouldn’t dare strike back, while the victims’ families had no restraint.August had no way to defend himself against the crowd rushing toward him.Many people pulled out their weapons to attack him. If it weren’t for August being well-versed in martial arts, his limbs would’ve long been gone.Yet, he was still bruised everywhere. There were even dark circles around his eyes.August didn’t bear a grudge against those people. There was no point to that.However, he knew that Harvey was to be blamed for all this!“How dare he keep going against me?!”“He’ll pay!”Though August was shocked to realize that Harvey kept thinking of ways to break through his well-laid plans, he was more startled that Harvey actually had the guts to fight back. In fact, the man constantly put Joseph and everyone els
“If we can’t ask for the thirteenth young master’s help, we’ll end up horribly if we’re forced to go against Harvey.”“Shut up!”“Are you lecturing me right now?!”August was infuriated.“Let me think! How are we supposed to survive in Flutwell if we can’t even deal with a damn outsider?”August swiftly pulled out his phone and scrolled through his contacts.His eyes lit up when his finger stopped at an overseas number. A faint smile appeared on his face soon after.“The thirteenth young master won’t do it, but someone will.”“If I can’t deal with Harvey, someone else can!”“Go! Go to Bharata Hall! Ask Young Master Garcia out for golf tomorrow…”“Tell him that I haven’t thanked him for the expert with the Art of Disguise yet.”…On the next day, early in the morning.Harvey took Mandy to Hearthstone Corporation to deal with the company’s procedures.Mandy took the position as the company’s CEO soon after.Harvey’s decision was enough to seal Lilian’s mouth, even if the l
“That’s why I’m asking you for help…”Harvey froze when he heard about the Torres family’s history. A bitter smile reached his lips.“Don’t forget: I may be the Head Coach, but I’m no doctor.”“That’s true, but you know the Art of Killing.”“The Lifestealing Finger is one of those techniques.”“Only you have a chance to save my father now.”“I really wouldn’t ask for your help if that wasn’t the case.”Naturally, Ansel knew that Harvey wouldn’t take action that easily. That was why he kept quiet for the longest time.But after seeing his father in pain, his face showing no color, Ansel decided to take the risk and ask for Harvey’s help regardless.“No need to be this formal, Ansel,” Harvey replied.“I can’t guarantee I’ll heal your father and bring him back to normal, but I’ll do my best.”“Don’t worry. You’re all brothers in my eyes.”Ansel was utterly grateful.“We can die happy with those words of yours, Sir York!”He then gestured for the driver to head back home.“R
Legends said that the manor was built during the country’s rise for Flutwell’s first-in-command.For almost a hundred years, the manors here had been constantly torn apart and rebuilt, leaving only ten properties around the place.The owners of the manors were no small feat, either.They were either previous first-in-commands of Flutwell, or they had contributed to the city’s development immensely.People without such achievements would have no right to live in these houses.Harvey didn’t care much about the place, but he still understood its importance.The car parked in front of the Number One Manor a few minutes later.Harvey and Ansel then walked out of the car.Harvey looked around curiously and saw exquisite blue bricks and red tiles, perfect for the aesthetics of elderly people.Armed men in uniforms were posted all around the place as well. This was enough to explain a lot of things.“Please, Sir York!”Ansel brought out all sorts of credentials for a man in uniform
Naturally, Colton had already looked up Harvey’s name beforehand. He wouldn’t say such a thing if that wasn’t the case.“You can’t do things properly, but you sure are pretty arrogant, kid!”Colton took a step forward, as if he was trying to suppress Harvey with his aura. He wasn’t enraged because of Harvey’s words, though.“Be efficient while keeping a low profile. This is my principle,” Harvey replied.“I understand what you’re saying…”“But we should always look at the bigger picture!”“If there’s a way to put things right once and for all, why even waste energy in the first place?”“Luring the target before eliminating the entire group…”“That’s the best way to do things, don’t you think?”“That’s what you think! Those are just your own principles!” Colton snapped coldly.“But to me, you’re just being indecisive! In the end, your hesitance caused you more problems!”Ansel was at a complete loss, but he managed to catch up to the conversation.His father and Harvey were
Ansel was in shock, but Colton remained expressionless; nobody knew exactly how he was feeling.He then walked over before tapping Harvey on the shoulder.Harvey stood still, just as expressionless. “I told you Harvey was impressive, Father. Do you believe me now?”Ansel smiled faintly.“Can Sir York have a look at your injury now?”Before Colton spoke up, a voice echoed from outside.“Uncle Torres! Where are you?”“Let’s go to the hall.”Colton clapped his hands.“Sienna’s here.”“She told me she’d find me a well-known doctor a few days ago.”“She was planning to get me fixed.”“Sir York. Sienna’s from the Wright family,” Ansel whispered in Harvey’s ear.“Her father is my father’s good friend. That’s why both our families have a good relationship.”“I didn’t know she was going to come with a doctor. I’m really sorry about that.”“The Wright family?”Harvey smiled after hearing Ansel’s words.“The head of the top ten families in Country H?”“Is Sienna the legendary
