“Who am I?Harvey York casually loaded his revolver and took off the safety.Then, he smiled coldly before placing the revolver right on Mrs. Lee’s hand.“Didn’t I tell you already?“I’m Harvey York! I’m Xynthia Zimmer’s brother-in-law! I’m only here to reclaim justice for her!”Soon after, Harvey calmly pulled the trigger.The bullet pierced right through Mrs. Lee’s wrist.The crowd screamed in fear before they covered their mouths.Nobody thought that Harvey would actually do as he said without hesitation.After all, it was only natural. Even Joseph Bauer meant nothing to him…Let alone Mrs. Lee!He could do whatever he wanted!Mrs. Lee’s body trembled slightly while the crowd was screaming. At that very moment, the shock had completely masked her pain. She could not return to her senses when she saw her crippled right hand.Things had been smooth sailing for Mrs. Lee for the past few years because of the support behind her back.She never needed to care for who she cru
“Harvey! Harvey!”“That b*stard again!”After hearing Mrs. Lee’s call for help, Joseph knew full well that if he didn’t protect her, he wouldn’t just lose his reputation…But many would also turn to Harvey’s side after realizing that Joseph feared Harvey!That said, Joseph was at a total disadvantage after what had happened at Flutwell’s new district.He still had some troublesome things he was desperately trying to fix.If he kept challenging Harvey, no doubt he would have an all-out war waiting for him.And if that were to happen, Joseph firmly believed that his two brothers would definitely take the opportunity to crush him once and for all.Everything he fought for would be for naught.Because of this, Joseph had no other choice but to let Mrs. Lee fend for herself.“I’ll kill you as soon as I rise to power, Harvey!”It was Joseph’s first time feeling so powerless.Other than screaming in anger, there was nothing else he could do.“You taught us to have the patience to
Joseph was hesitating whether to go all out against Harvey or not…Harvey, on the other hand, had already forgotten about the gift he gave Joseph.He was sitting in the hospital, waiting for Xynthia’s test results.Xynthia was quite lucky. Since Rudolph and his team were still around, they had been treating her with extra care.After an entire night, she had mostly recovered from her injuries.She seemed a lot better mentally as well. Not only was she awake, she even had a huge appetite for food.“Here’s your favorite Acorn Mush. I already blew on it for you. You can just eat it.”Harvey casually opened the package and put the casserole on Xynthia’s bedside table.Harvey knew how to make his own food, but there was simply no time for that for the time being. Ordering takeout became his go-to.“My hands hurt, Brother-In-Law! You feed me!”Xynthia opened her mouth slightly with a helpless look on her face.Harvey was speechless; he sighed as he glanced at her hand, which was s
Harvey sighed after seeing the look on Xynthia’s face.Sometimes, he couldn’t help but be impressed that the sisters had nothing in common with their mother.An insufferable woman like Lilian being able to give birth to two well-mannered daughters was already a good enough blessing.At this moment, Harvey knew he couldn’t joke with Xynthia about this any longer.“Fine. I won’t make it harder for you,” Harvey said after letting out a sigh.“Don’t worry. They’ve already received their punishment.”“Just tell them to kneel for an entire day tomorrow.”“Alright. I’ll listen to you.”Xynthia let out a sigh of relief.She was reminded of another thing soon after.“How’s Larisa, anyway?”“I heard she’s been acting sluggish the entire time. It’s not because I shot her, right?”The kind-hearted young woman couldn’t help but worry about her friend.“I don’t know.”Harvey smiled.“But the shot probably didn’t affect her that badly.”“She’s not sick either.”“Huh? What happened to
Not long after, Mandy’s car, a Maybach, drove out of the garage.The car was the property of Hearthstone Corporation in the past. The car hadn’t been driven a lot since it belonged to the CEO of the company, so it looked like it was brand-new.Harvey sat in the back while quietly admiring the car.Mandy handed Harvey some breakfast after seeing him in the car before telling the driver to drive.“You already got in contact with Young Master Bauer?”“Is he going to give the money back or not?”Mandy sighed.“The three young masters are all prominent figures of Flutwell.”“The eldest Young Master Bauer is the best out of the three. He’s also quite isolated from the world.”“Normally speaking, it would be hard to see him even on TV, let alone actually meeting him.”“It’s said he has eighteen places he’d randomly choose to live in every single day.”“He wouldn’t even wear the clothes he’s already worn the day before.”“All this just to make sure he wouldn’t be tracked.”Harvey
Harvey chuckled.“Judging from what you said, she should’ve been a superstar by now, right?”Mandy sighed.“The entertainment industry is darker than we imagine. Elanor refused to sleep with one of the bosses, and so was permanently put in limbo. She was even assigned roles as a toilet cleaner or the victim of r*pe.”“To her, that is utterly humiliating.”“She met Jeff coincidentally and became one of his women. After that, she refrained from showing herself.”“That’s it?” Harvey asked, curious.“If Elanor is only willing to be one of Jeff’s mistresses, does she even have the right to negotiate with us?”“After being with Jeff, she used his authority to rip the director to shreds. Even his entire family was dragged down with him.”“The boss’ ancestors were dragged out from their graves and burned to a crisp!”Mandy was filled with shock. She didn’t understand how a potential superstar could have ended up in such a way.Harvey took a deep breath.“She’s ruthless!”“Jeff mus
Mandy pondered the situation for a moment.“I thought about it.”“We asked her out three times before she agreed to meet at her bullring.”“Number one: she doesn’t want to waste more time just to see us.”“Number two: she wants to flaunt her strength.”“Number three: maybe she wants to use the opportunity to see if I’m worthy of negotiating with her.”Harvey smiled calmly.“Interesting woman. No wonder she can be Jeff’s fifth mistress even without any background or powerful identity.”Realizing that the woman was probably quite extraordinary, Harvey sent a text from his phone.After all, it wouldn’t hurt to take any precautions.An hour later, the car arrived at the outskirts of Flutwell. A place that looked like a colosseum could be seen.The place was extremely spacious. The building itself looked like it was modeled after an antique.The east, south, and west sides had stands that were ten feet tall. The bull’s entrance was on the north.Wetlands similar to a football f
Compared to the elegance common to wealthy ladies, Elanor was different.She radiated unspeakable confidence.She was so calm and collected that people around her would believe in her ability to solve any problem.Without question, the woman was Jeff’s fifth mistress.An arrogant-looking man was standing right beside said mistress.The man would occasionally blow a puff of smoke, his face bearing an extremely bossy look.He was Elanor’s personal bodyguard. His status must’ve been quite high as well. He wouldn’t act so arrogantly if that wasn’t the case.Mandy gave Harvey a look, telling him to not be reckless before she walked toward Elanor with a smile.“Good morning, CEO Stanton,” she said with her right hand stretched out.“I’m Mandy from Hearthstone Corporation.”“I’m here to talk about the debt with you today.”“I hope you’ll have time for that.”The people around shot snide glances at Mandy after hearing her words.‘She’s asking Elanor for money?’‘She’s basically a
Reginald was already lying on the ground. But even when he was shaking, he yelled sternly, "Be gentler! My wife isn't getting any younger. What will I do if something happens to her?!"It was obvious that Reginald and his wife had a great relationship. Otherwise, he would not be so nervous.Meanwhile, Veer felt constrained as he was commanding the security guards. On one hand, he had to ensure the ropes were strong enough to keep his mother under control. On the other hand, he had to ensure the only security guards left would not touch her and collapse.If that happened, the Judd family would be history.When Marlee saw the chaos, she rushed in and quickly yelled, "Dad! I've brought Master Harvey here!""Master Harvey!" Veer hollered, as if he had seen his savior. "I've made the wrong decision earlier, but please forgive me and don't use it against me. Please, do something and help my family!"Even Reginald asked Harvey for help with a gentler tone. "Please, Master Harvey. I've m
The night was especially dark tonight.Harvey knitted his eyebrows when he arrived at the Judd family residence.The entire residence was covered in darkness, seemingly dilapidated. As the wind howled, he almost thought this was a haunted location and all manners of ghosts and spirits would show themselves."Master Harvey! You're finally here!" When Harvey was at the entrance, Marlee crawled out of the residence, her hair disheveled. She did not care about manners at all and simply dragged Harvey to the back of the residence immediately without any care.Harvey saw many members of the Judd family inside, but their faces were all panic-stricken and pale. All of them were shaking; some had even collapsed on the ground, convulsing. Some even had white foam coming out from their mouths.What was happening in the residence seemed apocalyptic."Harvey… No… Master Harvey… After you left, Eridan set up and began his ritual. Everything went well initially, but as soon as the six hours you
Vaughn blinked when he heard what Rachel had just said.Oh, damn!Even the women who served Harvey could be so full of pride? Just one move?Vaughn wanted to see how one move would be enough to take so many people down, especially when all of them were armed with dangerous weapons. Even if they were all to kneel and wait for Rachel to give them a slap, one move would not be enough, right?Harvey did not answer Vaughn as he looked at his confused look. Instead, Harvey simply signaled to him to watch. They simply looked at Rachel strolling toward the so-called fighters from the School of Astronomers. In the next instant, she closed her eyes. Her right hand pressed against the hilt of the blade on her waist. She instantly pulled the blade out in a flash, revealing a glint of silver light.And in a moment, all that could be heard within the courtyard was screams of pain as Vaughn looked in shock. All the fighters from the School of Astronomers had blood trails on their wrists or nec
Harvey blinked, stupefied. "They managed to expand the business of geology into something like that? I wonder what the founders of the School of Astronomers would think if they found out about this. Will they crawl out from their graves? Don't any of the top families know about this? Why do all of you still treat them as master geomancers?"Vaughn curled his lips. "Of course we know. But the School of Astronomers still held a lot of influence. No one was willing to reveal them for who they really are. Not to mention that they possess some great skills, and Eridan wasn't really someone without skills. That was how he managed to get the reputation of being the top geomancer in Wolsing…"Harvey nodded and glared at the leading man. "Looks like Eridan is very upset with me today for him to seek me out like this."However, almost six hours had passed, and the hour that Harvey spoke of was quickly arriving. To think that Eridan did not put his whole effort into preparing for it and instea
When Harvey, Vaughn, Tyson, and the others sat to have some coffee and prepared to order some food deliveries for a quick meal, a loud engine roar could be heard from outside the estate.Then, the door into the estate was kicked open and dozens of men in black walked in. All of them had vicious looks. It was obvious that they were not there to make friends.They all marched over when they saw Harvey and the others having coffee in the courtyard. Next, a slender man walked over with a machete and scanned the surroundings. He coldly asked, "Which one of you is Harvey York?"Show yourself so we can kill you. Don't make us hurt the innocents. I'll give you one minute. If you don't show up, don't blame me if I kill everyone here!"Then, the man holding a machete signaled and waved his hand. All the men in black behind him even pointed bolts hidden under their sleeves at Harvey and the others. Some even whipped out their firearms and showed their licenses, trying to demonstrate just how
Once Harvey was back in his estate, he did not dwell on what happened at the Judd family residence today. Instead, he reflected on what had happened in the past few days.Firstly, Vaughn was ready to take over the Thompsons of Wolsing with the support of Tyson and the others. Everything needed to be done before the end of Hector's mourning period, or at the very least on the day itself.Secondly, nothing could have been done with the Country H Commercial Group. Elric would not easily give up the post of the next chairman. Not only was this for his own benefit, but the fact that Emery wanted it was enough to make Elric do everything in his power to.Thirdly, it was about the Country H Martial Arts Alliance. He had already crippled one of the so-called Four Kings of the Alliance and took him as his own. No one would trouble him for the time being. The only thing he needed to do was to wait for the full moon's night, and he could finish everything in one swoop by crippling those from t
"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
