Naturally, Kori John was not happy with Harvey York denying his actions.It was nothing if he was only a poor sob, but he could not even admit to the fact that he did everything for her! She was deeply embarrassed because of it!How was she going to show off about it then?! She would not be able to satisfy her arrogance!Kori looked down at Harvey and scoffed coldly.“No matter how hard you try or how much you do, you still won’t have a chance to be with me!“I’m already the outer disciple of Longmen’s Flutwell branch.“And you? You’re still just a loser!“We’re from totally different worlds!“Let’s get inside, sisters.”Kori flipped her hair before strutting inside the gymnasium with her friends.Harvey felt speechless when he looked at Kori’s back. He was not sure if Kori was just overconfident or if he was just extremely unlucky.He only came to participate in the competition, but he was treated like a stalker following someone all the way here.Harvey trembled when the
“You have two hours! Sixty points will be your passing grade!“Everyone who passes will be ranked from the highest score to the lowest! Only the top one hundred will be eligible for the qualifiers!“Do not talk to each other or play with your phones during the exam! You will be disqualified if you do!“Both the examiner and the invigilator are disciples of Longmen!“The chief examiner today will be the vice branch leader of Flutwell’s Longmen branch, Fisher Benett himself!“If anyone finds out someone’s cheating, you may report that to Vice Branch Leader Benett! You’ll earn additional points once it’s been confirmed!”After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, a dozen people stood out to greet the examinees.The most striking person was a strong old man in a robe with a fierce look.That man was none other than Fisher Benett himself.A mere vice branch leader was not that impressive since Longmen’s headquarters were in Flutwell…But that identity was pretty impressive for the
“Silence! The exam’s starting!”Soon after, the papers were distributed. There were a hundred questions in total. Multiple choice questions, true or false questions, and fill-in-the-blank questions could be seen.But those questions were quite in-depth.Anyone trying to muddle their way around the test would be screwed instantly.Even Kori John and the others were frowning as soon as they saw the papers.Harvey York swiftly answered the questions without a change in his expression.The examiners seemed quite relaxed, though.Other than the fact that there were dozens of surveillance cameras, the test was just too difficult.There would be no use cheating if none of the examinees did not know how to answer the questions themselves.After going around the hall twice, the examiners started doing the test papers themselves, trying to see what score they would get.Half an hour later had already passed…Harvey was already done with the test when it was actually scheduled for two
The exam ended soon after. There was still an hour before lunchtime.Since there was an answer sheet for the examiners to refer to, they did not take a long time to mark the papers.Everyone waited almost an hour before the results came out at eleven thirty o’clock.Wilbur Lee and the other examiners were returning the papers on the podium.Everyone was anxious about their scores at this moment.Even people like Kori John were filled with anxiety. On the other hand, Harvey York remained indifferent.The people who had their papers returned early had all failed the test, proving just how difficult it was. The whole place was incredibly pressuring at that very moment.“Emma Bierstadt! Seventy-nine points! One-hundredth place!”The crowd gasped. The score was not that high, but it was high enough to participate in the qualifiers.“Abby Miller! Eighty-two points! Eighty-ninth place!”***Good scores were constantly being read out while the crowd cheered, calming everyone down qu
Wilbur Lee coldly squinted at Harvey York with his arms crossed.“You should know already, Harvey!“The Longmen Summit isn’t just for you to play around! This exam is just as important as any university entrance exam!“Not only did you cheat in the exam, but you are also suspected of stealing the answer sheet! You’re looking for your own demise here!“Vice Branch Leader Benett and the others are waiting for you in the meeting room!“Go and apologize for this already! You’ll end up horribly if you don’t!“Maybe Vice Branch Leader Benett will let you off the hook if you have an acceptable attitude!“But if you’re not being honest, I’ll report this to Longmen’s Law Enforcement right now!“You’ll end up worse than being thrown in jail!”Wilbur pointed outside with a prideful look on his face.“He cheated?!”Kori John and the others were shocked before they glared at Harvey disdainfully.‘You can’t just learn martial arts by cheating like this!’‘No wonder Harvey was the first
After hearing Harvey York’s words, Kori John let out a huge sigh of disappointment before showing a disdainful look.“Stop pretending already, Harvey!“How hard is it to admit to your wrongdoings?!“Do you think we don’t understand you?!“Do you think I don’t know you?!“I was your university mate! There’s no chance that you even know martial arts!”Wilbur Lee showed jealousy in his eyes after hearing that Harvey and Kori used to be university mates.He furiously glared at Harvey and screamed, “You hear that, Harvey?!“Even Kori said that you don’t know martial arts! Why are you still pretending?!“Just admit it already!“You’ll end up horribly if you don’t!”Harvey kept a straight face.“You keep insisting that I cheated and even stole the answer sheet, but where’s the proof?“You must’ve checked the surveillance cameras all over the place, right?“Did you see me bring anything inside?“If you’re claiming that I memorized the answers beforehand, then at least tell me wh
Wilbur Lee’s face instantly darkened before he glared at Harvey York.“Are you questioning my judgment, Harvey?!”Kori John was also showing a disdainful look.“How dare you even ask Examiner Lee that?!“He’s still an outer disciple of Longmen’s Flutwell branch, no matter what!“His knowledge of martial arts is excellent! You’ll be stumped if he’s the one writing the questions!”Kori was extremely disappointed in Harvey.Not only did she believe that Harvey was poor and powerless, but he also would not admit to him cheating! A man like him just was not worthy of being her brown-noser!Wilbur glared at Harvey coldly before he let out a chuckle.Obviously, he had already expected this to happen while he was planning to crush his so-called rival.“Since you said that you’re actually capable…“Then, I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself!He pulled out a piece of paper and put it on the table, then wrote three questions he had prepared himself.Wilbur then showed a lifeless
“Ahahaha!”Kori John and the others burst out laughing after seeing Wilbur Lee throw Harvey York’s answers out the window.Naturally, everyone believed that Harvey was bluffing all this while.As expected, Wilbur’s three questions were enough to expose Harvey’s capabilities.After seeing the sight, Harvey calmly glanced at Wilbur.He could already tell that Wilbur was a shameless and corrupt man.But he never expected that he could be this shameless.At this point, Harvey was outraged. The consequences were dire…“What is this?!“What’s all this commotion about?!”A large group of people came into the hall at this moment.The person leading the group was none other than Fisher Benett himself.A few experts followed behind him with their heads held high.Other than those people, there were also a lot of Longmen disciples. They were all in charge of security.Fisher coldly screamed at the crowd in front of him, “Can we have some order in here?!“Is this what martial artist
"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
Veer cleared his throat and said, "Firstly, allow me to apologize on behalf of my nephew. He already informed me about Nelly and is now kneeling inside our estate's chapel. As he said, he will repent for three days and nights. Since he can't leave at the moment, he asked me to send you his apologies. "Other than apologizing for my nephew, please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of the Judds of Wolsing. The reason for all of this is because we aren't strict enough with our education and discipline. I swear in my family's name that things like this won't ever happen again in the future. We will also take full responsibility for cleaning up all the despicable acts that happen in the entertainment industry within Judd Entertainment."Veer was unsure how to feel when he said something like that. How could he not know that the sons of the Judd family had other women outside? But the problem was, it was fine for them to keep other women. But why did they allow those women to provoke
Harvey squinted his eyes and whispered to Marlee, "I don't know who your family has invited to change the geographical features of your estate, but the worst thing he did was to move away the two statues at the gate."If I'm right, your grandmother's condition has already stabilized initially. After changing the geological features, she should be pretty energetic as well. However, she is starting to feel a little numb after the two statues have been moved. "In the beginning, all of you thought it was just because she was getting older. You also started to feel something was wrong during these few days, right?"Marlee was a little shocked. "Why does it feel like you've witnessed the entire thing?"Then, Harvey explained, "Everything leaves a trace, and it's the same for geomancy. Don't tell me you think I won't be able to see something has changed when you move the two statues that protect the fortune of your entire family?"If you ask me, the geomancer you've hired is either not
Nelly fell on her knees without delay and started to slap herself dozens of times. Finally, she muttered an apology to Xynthia before turning tail and fled.It was obvious that after what had happened, she was no longer the queen bee of the advertising department. What Sawyer had said also meant that she would become a non-person in the entertainment industry. Someone like her would not have a good ending.However, Harvey was unaffected despite knowing how Nelly's life would end. Instead, he thought she deserved it. It was already quite lenient for her to end up like this for a woman who did not know her place and wanted to bully her juniors.-After it was all done, Marlee invited Harvey to a three-story office building that was only a couple hundred feet away.Xynthia and Journi followed them there. The two were similarly quite surprised when they saw Marlee's change of attitude toward Harvey.Marlee did not know who Xynthia was, but she was acquainted with Journi. They just di
"Tell him to give me his name!" Sawyer said. "I don't care if he is in Wolsing or anywhere in Country H. I'll make sure he regrets ever coming to this world!"Sawyer sounded extremely domineering, and his tone was very arrogant. It was as if the entire world was his to destroy whenever he wanted to. Not to mention, one could hear from his tone that he did not care about Marlee at all.Marlee's expression darkened, and she wanted to speak.However, Harvey waved his hand and said, "Sawyer Judd, is it? Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Harvey York. If you still don't know who I am, you can ask your leader or your grandmother. You can speak to me once you know who I am."Also, your woman has harassed my younger sister and that upsets me a lot. You better be able to give me an explanation. It would be best if you could give me one. If you can't, I'll give you one instead."Harvey calmly replied, but his words were even more domineering than Sawyer's from the other side.What the hell?
"Mr. York, why did you suddenly visit Judd Entertainment? Do you have any order for me?" asked Marlee Harvey in a serious tone."Not exactly," Harvey pointed at Xynthia with his right hand. "That's my younger sister over there, but we're not biologically related. She's currently working at Judd Entertainment. But what happened? Your advertising department's superstar is forcing her to sleep with an old man, otherwise she'll ruin her career."I'm here to question you on behalf of my younger sister. Is this a company rule?"When Marlee heard what Harvey had to say, her eye twitched, and she quickly turned around and slapped Nelly, who was caught completely unprepared.Nelly cried out in pain as she held her face and landed on the ground, looking at Marlee in disbelief. "Don't you worry, Mr. York. I'll give you a satisfying explanation about this."Harvey calmly said, "This is not the first time we met each other, Marlee. So, I know this has nothing much to do with you. That's why
Harvey had ignored Nelly's taunts and continued with the countdown. "Three minutes."At this time, Journi approached them from the back. Journi gave Xynthia a strange look and then said to the woman from upper management, "Here's my advice. You should give Ms. Marlee a call right now. Otherwise… I don't think you'll be able to shoulder the consequences."Compared to Harvey, who was wearing something quite plain, the outfit Journi was wearing, while still minimalistic, was all from luxury brands and could only be bought through reservations.She was wearing the Lady Arpels Pont des Amoureux watch, worth hundreds of thousands.What Journi was wearing gave immense pressure to the woman and, after a moment of hesitation, she pulled out her phone and started to dial a number."Oh ho! So, you're a sugar baby!" Nelly said derisively as she instinctively grew hostile to Journi when she saw her. "A sugar baby saving a damsel in distress, becoming the white knight of another woman… How can
