Kayden slapped Eli’s hand away, his gaze ice. Eli revealed a deep smile, planning to cross the line even further.“How about this? Let’s not talk about Harvey for now.”“After all, Young Master Garcia wants him dead. Us small fries don’t have the right to get involved.”“At most, I can promise you that Harvey will have one of his arms left to beg for food on the streets when Young Master Garcia wants to break all of his limbs. I’ll make sure to plead for that, at least.”“But you’ll have to return the favor.”“I really like Xynthia Zimmer!”“I miss her so much that I just can’t sleep!”“You’re a good person, Head Balmer.”“Why don’t you send her straight to my bed and release me from my pain?”Eli blew a puff of smoke on Kayden’s face before bursting out laughing.“Don’t you worry. I’ll thank you properly after that.”“I’ll have to return the favor somehow, right?”Bohdi and the others scoffed. They believed Kayden wouldn’t dare go against Eli.Kayden’s expression worse
“Sir York!”Eli frowned upon seeing the sight before him.Kayden walked toward Harvey respectfully, and then bowed at Harvey with his hands flattened neatly at the sides. Eli’s heart skipped a beat.He kept insulting Kayden, but he knew full well that Kayden was still one of Flutwell’s gang leaders.Kayden belonged to the Gang of Six!Even if Kayden belonged to the worst gang out of the six, seeing him acting so respectful toward Harvey was enough to show Harvey’s strength.However, Eli didn’t understand what was so special about the kept man who needed help from the cops.Eli didn’t pay too much mind to it, though.After all, Harvey’s fate had already been sealed the moment he called the cops to clean up Flutwell Hotel.Frankie would stop at nothing to kill him.“You should just let me handle this, Sir York,” Kayden said respectfully.“You didn’t have to come on your own.”“Since Young Master Burton laid his hands on my wife and hospitalized her for a few whole weeks…”
Harvey smiled politely.“There’s something you may not know, Young Master Burton.”“In my eyes, you’re no different than the stray dogs running around outside.”Bohdi’s face turned fierce and he screamed, “What did you say, you b*stard?!”“Say it again and I’ll kill you! I dare you!”Eli waved his hand to calm Bohdi and the others.He sized up Harvey, and scoffed.“Come, Sir York. I’m right here! Do it!”“Do it for your wife!”“Can you?”“Or rather, are you even worthy?!”Eli’s face bore utter disdain. In his eyes, not only did Harvey lack the courage to do something like this, but Harvey also didn’t have the right for it.Harvey wouldn’t dare, nor was he even worthy.The beautiful women glared at Harvey with contempt.‘This b*stard can only play dirty and call the cops! What useless filth!’‘How can someone like this even dream of going against Young Master Burton?’Bam!Harvey wasted no time grabbing a beer bottle and slamming it on Eli’s head.It was a quick and po
Bam!Harvey calmly picked up another beer bottle before slamming it on Eli’s head again without restraint.“Since you won’t give me a statement, I’ll come get one myself.”“This one’s for my wife!”Bam!“This one’s for my sister-in-law!”Bam!“This one’s for my mother-in-law!”Harvey shattered three whole bottles in just an instant. Eli’s head was completely covered in blood and glass shards as he screamed in pain.The beautiful girls had never seen that much blood in their entire lives; they screamed fearfully as they took a few steps back, their expressions horrible.“So what if I hit you?”Harvey tapped Eli’s shoulder.“Nolan’s no different than a stray dog to me. Aaron kneeled in front of me as well…”“Who do you think you are?”“You think you’re that powerful? You’re just a damn worm.”Eli gritted his teeth, filled with unbridled rage.“You insult us noble people, and you still won’t stop hitting me! Do you realize the consequences of your own actions?!”Naturally
A bald young man in a robe was following behind the middle-aged man. He strutted into the box pompously, as if he was the king of the world.An imposing aura could be felt from the middle-aged man as he walked in steadily with his companions.In the box, Harvey was sipping his tea with his legs crossed when he saw the middle-aged man.“Who are you?”“You don’t look like Frankie at all…”“How dare you?!”The middle-aged man took off his glasses and cleaned them with some tissues.“You must be Harvey.”His eyes were cold.‘A skinny young man. Even though his aura is quite special, he’s still just an ordinary person…’‘Eli’s completely useless at this point. He couldn't deal with one man even when he brought so many allies with him. He even had to ask for my help.’‘This son of mine is no good for me…’Harvey didn’t react to the man’s questions, and instead looked at the man curiously. He could tell that this man belonged to the Burton family after a few quick glances.Eli ma
Donnie Burton’s words were gentle and structured.He was on another level than Eli Burton, who had been acting all high and mighty.That said, Eli’s tone was quite unpleasant.Boris slammed the table and screamed, “Do you hear that?!“Are you going to cripple yourself?! Or are you letting me do it for you?!“I’m asking for a fee if you need my help!”After hearing those words, the beautiful women beside Donnie looked down on Harvey York.‘Other than kneeling and begging for mercy, what else can a loser like that do when he’s going against Donnie?’“You want me to cripple myself?“So you can stand up for your son?Harvey let out a chuckle with a gentle look on his face.“But I’m not even done with your baby boy attempting to force himself on my sister-in-law…“He even beat up my wife.“And yet you’re still standing up for your son?“How can you not distinguish right from wrong?“Or are you saying that all Kshatriyas are just shameless like you?”Harvey was showing a prof
Donnie Burton chuckled coldly with his arms spread out.“I’m not trying to ruffle your feathers, but there are some people you shouldn’t be provoking in the first place.”Donnie believed that he was incredibly patient.If it were not for him turning over a new leaf, he would still be using violence.He would have slapped Harvey York across his face at this moment.“Two things.Harvey remained indifferent.“Number one. I’ll cripple Eli Burton no matter what. Nobody can protect him. Mark my words.“Number two. Since it’s the parent’s fault for not teaching their own child, you should kneel for him instead.“If not, I wouldn’t mind razing your entire family to the damn ground.“I’ll personally remove you from Flutwell.”Donnie’s face twitched before he let out an awkward scoff.“You want to remove us from Flutwell?“Since you’re so confident, I think I’d like to see you try!”The beautiful women were chuckling derisively after hearing those words.‘How dare he say something
Harvey York let out a chuckle.“Fine. I’ll call someone here then.”The women glared at Harvey coldly as they scoffed.‘He’s still trying to pretend?’‘What’s the point?’Boris strutted forward with a wretched smile on his face.“You’re still not kneeling? Are you waiting for me to get furious?”Two hundred bodyguards started moving forward.Harvey heaved a long sigh before he snapped his fingers.Tap tap tap!Clamoring and rapid footsteps could be heard coming from outside the box.The sound felt especially resounding in total darkness. The crowd’s hearts could not help but skip a few beats at this moment.“Who is it?”Donnie Burton and the others instinctively turned around.They were all shocked when they saw what was behind them.A few figures could be seen from inside…They were wearing suits with hatchets in hand, showing emotionless expressions.But then, the sound came from every single direction.“One thousand men of the Hatchet Gang at your service, Sir York
"That's enough, Veronica!" Marlee's face hardened. "No matter how good Master Eridan is, that's not a reason to treat Master Harvey like this. Not only did he heal Grandma in the first place, but we also have to respect him because he's willing to come to our family this time. We…""Enough!" Reginald was getting slightly annoyed, so he immediately made the decision. "It looks like I have no say in this despite being your grandfather, Marlee? Since you have so much to talk about, you can leave too. Otherwise, you'll take full responsibility if your grandmother's rest is interrupted!"Someone like Reginald knew how to humiliate someone without even pointing his finger at them. While he was scolding Marlee, he was actually humiliating Harvey. Since someone of his age hated the youths, who were so energetic and thought highly of their capabilities.Perhaps he did have some talent, but how could his talents compare to a true expert? It was as if he was the only one who could deal with th
"How dare you!" Eridan bellowed, his body shaking with anger. "You have a sharp tongue and like to make things up! I'm willing to bet on the reputation of the School of Astrologers that she will be fine for six days and nights!"I will use the Cleansing Technique in the arts of Geomancy to cleanse the evil spirits within her one more time. Then, I will slightly change the configuration before demolishing that mountain shrine! Everything will be solved then!"Then, Eridan pointed his finger at Harvey's face and said, "Stop criticizing my expertise when you do nothing, boy!""That's right. Stop being so proud over nothing," Veronica said to Harvey, having no liking for him at all. "Don't think I don't know just what kind of personality plebeians like you have. Do you think you can do anything you want, and will your status rise once you're acquainted with my family?"In the end, you're just making nonsense that won't be able to solve the problem and make it even worse. Only a piece o
"I'm willing to swear upon my School's name, Ms. Marlee, that I’m the only one who has the power to help the Judds of Wolsing," vowed Eridan with a puff at Marlee."Of course, if someone within your family doesn't trust me, it's fine. Have someone else deal with this, and I shall immediately take my leave. From now on, our school will never step into the Judd family residence, so you better think twice!" said Eridan coldly.It was apparent to all that Eridan was forcing the Judds of Wolsing to make a choice. If there were anyone who believed in Harvey, he would leave. The School of Astronomers had its pride to consider! His reputation as the best Geomancer in Wolsing was not something that was made up either. Whoever dared to question him was to challenge his entire school."Tell your daughter to leave with that charlatan!" Reginald stared at Veer without letting Veer have a chance to say anything. "Otherwise, everything will be too late if Master Eridan leaves because of his bad mo
"Don't worry. Once I'm done here, naturally, I will visit the mountains behind your residence. Once I've settled everything, all of you will be fine as well," Eridan spoke wisely to those from the Judd family.Reginald smiled and nodded. "While I am no longer the leader of the Judds of Wolsing, I can promise you that you will be the Judd family VIP if you can help us settle these problems. We will give you everything you want, whether money, prestige or something else!"Reginald knew how big the issue was. If Eridan could help them stop the looming danger, then whatever price they paid was worth it.Veer noticed how relaxed Eridan was, and he said nothing. Then, he even gave Marlee a look and told her not to say anything. Marlee upsettingly bit her lip, but in the end, she said nothing.Veronica smiled when she looked at Veer and Marlee, who had both taken a step back. "Father, Veer, don't you worry. With Master Eridan's help, I'm sure our family will be as prosperous as ever. Also
Originally, Veer had more faith in Harvey. But seeing that Eridan was already here and had helped deal with the problem, he had to show the geomancer some respect no matter what because he was the family leader. Especially when it was something huge like this when everyone within the Judd family who was of age would have half their body become numb. If they all fell, the Judd family would be halfway ruined.When Eridan noticed Veer, who had been so serious before, was forced to smile, Eridan smiled back at him and said, "You're welcome. Your father and I are old acquaintances, and I've come to change this place's configuration. However, now that your mother has become ill, everyone is saying that it's because of my insufficient skills."That is why I have to come to your residence one more time, whether out of my own accord or the Judd family. However, it's a little late to say this, so I think I should reveal everything so that you won't have any misunderstandings toward me!" Eri
When Marlee heard what Veronica had to say, Marlee snorted. "If that Master Eridan is really as good as you claimed, none of this would have happened at all."After hearing that, Reginald's expression turned dark before Veronica could even reply. "Marlee, there are some things that you can't just make offhand comments about. Master Eridan and his school served the royal court for centuries since the 12th century. Even when it was during the Braided Dynasty and the modern era, they still possess incredibly high status."Usual families wouldn't even be able to ask for their assistance. How can you be so ungrateful and talk behind his back after he was willing to help us a second time? I will let it pass this time, but if there's a second time, you'll be punished for this, understand?"When Veronica heard what Reginald had to say, she nodded, full of pride. "That's right. Someone like you shouldn't be questioning Master Eridan. What do you know? I'm your aunt, and I have much more expe
"Of course, you can. You're the leader of the Judd family!" Veronica said to Veer in a sarcastic tone. "However, to think that you've mistreated our mother… Aren't you supposed to resign already?"Veer coldly replied, "Don't worry. Even if I do resign, you won't be the next leader. So you can stop dreaming about it already."The corner of Veronica's lips twitched. She had wanted to say something else when an old man with white hair came out from the inner chamber at that moment. With a cold voice, he rebuked them, "Enough! Your mother is still unconscious in bed right now, but all of you argue amongst yourselves here. Where are your manners?"I have not been managing things for many years, but do I no longer have any influence within the family?"Veer narrowed his eyes a little when he saw the old man. Then, he stepped forward and bowed his head. "I understand, father."After seeing Veer's attitude, he turned his attention to Veronica and the others. "It's the same for all of you.
"It's your choice whether to believe it or not," said Harvey casually."Oh, come on," laughed Veer. "Since we've invited you all the way here, of course we believe you. Let's see… Please come this way."Then, Veer gestured and led him deeper into the estate. Harvey did not refuse and narrowed his eyes as he looked into the sky. He could already see a dark cloud gathering on top of the estate.In another courtyard, there was a huge lawn where a helicopter had landed. It was enough to show just how much wealth the Judd family had. But when Veer saw the helicopter, he was slightly surprised and asked, "Why is he back home?""He?" Harvey was quite curious. Veer was the leader of the Judd family. Could it be that someone else scared him within the family?When Veer saw Harvey's expression, he explained, "You probably didn't know this, but despite being the leader of the Judds of Wolsing, my father still has authority over me. However, he has been training in isolation all these years i
After a brief hesitation, Veer slowly spoke to Harvey. "Well… Let's start after you helped us deal with the problem haunting my mother. After that, all the seniors of the Judd family believed that there were some issues with the geomancy of this place. So, we were thinking of finding a new place to call home."However, the Judds are a big family. We have to make arrangements for many things. If we simply moved to another place, some might think that the Judd family is starting to fall. That's why we had to give up on moving, which meant the only other option left for us was to adjust the geomancy of this place."If you had asked me then, I would have asked you to help us with this since we shouldn't ask two persons to deal with the same problem. However, many elders rejected my proposal, saying you're too young and inexperienced."Ultimately, we asked Wolsing's top geomancer, Master Eridan, who has long stopped seeing any guests, to help us. Initially, everything went well. But afte
