The people surrounding Harvey glared at him disdainfully.‘He talks big!’‘Now what?’‘All he can do is show off in front of a woman!’‘Just look for Jeff if you’re so impressive!’‘What a joke!’“A gift?”Harvey narrowed his eyes, but his face was expressionless. “Am I supposed to bring him flowers at his grave as well?”“He might get angry if I don’t!”Bam!Elanor kicked the coffee table in front of her.“How dare you insult Young Master Bauer, you b*stard!” she exclaimed furiously.“I’m insulting him?”Harvey chuckled before turning around.“Tell him I want my money tomorrow afternoon.”“If not, I’ll add ten percent interest every day.”“If he still doesn’t give the money back by then…”“I’ll make sure to put him in the grave!”Harvey then walked away while holding Mandy’s hand.Elanor chuckled coldly.“How dare you threaten Young Master Bauer! Let me tell you something! If you can walk out of this door alive, I’ll call you Daddy!”“Get him!”Eleanor’s bodygu
Mandy sighed.“But judging from Elanor’s attitude, she wouldn’t give up that easily.”“If she gets reckless and starts convincing Jeff to fight us…”“We’ll be in a lot of trouble, won’t we?”Naturally, Mandy understood Elanor’s behavior quite well.Harvey smiled.“The Bauer family is split three ways. Every single young master was chosen by the master himself.”“Naturally, they’re not ordinary people.”“Or rather, they’re definitely smart people.”“Of course, our tactics might be useful, but it might not make Jeff give in that easily.”Mandy froze.“So, do you mean…?”“We have to act fast, of course.” Harvey smiled.“But there’s no rush.”“We gave him three days.”“If he still doesn’t know how to choose…”“I’ll just teach him again.”…Harvey put the thought to the back of his head and focused on the Longmen Summit for the time being.Early in the following morning, Harvey showed up at the Flutwell Gymnasium for the provincial qualifiers.The event looked a lot mo
A man in a suit walked out soon after. He had a stubble, similar to someone from the Island Nations.He was a lot taller than the people there. A fierce and dominant aura could be felt on him.Harvey glanced curiously at the man. Then, he realized that the man looked quite similar to Larisa.He could tell that the man was none other than Bowen Lee, the branch leader of Longmen’s Flutwell branch.A few officers read out a bunch of nonsense before introducing the jury and examiners.After that, Bowen walked on stage and looked calmly in front of him.“Aside from the strength to walk the underworld…”“Everyone knows that the most important thing is to learn the Art of Killing from different schools and curses.”“The goal is to not teach you how to kill, but to have the strength to protect yourself when met with odd situations!”“That’s why this test will be a lot different than before!”“By my judgment, I have someone here who was cursed by something unknown!”“It’s why she’s i
Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing Bowen’s words.This was the Longmen Summit—it should be a place to brawl to one’s heart’s content.Why were they forced to treat someone, of all things?Even so, Bowen’s words made a lot of sense. Hence, nobody dared to refute him.Even Fisher couldn’t help but rub his head. He was unsure if he should try to talk Bowen out of this or remain silent.Kori, on the other hand, was filled with glee. Her eyes fell on Harvey immediately. She was certain Harvey would never be able to pass a test like this!Even if Harvey had been practicing martial arts when he was still in his mother’s womb, he wouldn’t be able to deal with a curse.After all, the underworld was an extremely dangerous place full of the unknown.Imagining Harvey embarrassing himself and getting disqualified, Kori felt exhilarated.“Right! Begin!”Bowen took a step back, his expression stern, and gestured to everyone to keep quiet.The first examinee was a short-haired woman.
At this very moment, Bowen was seething with anger.His impatience and love for his daughter had him completely infuriated.Right as Harvey was about to step out, Bowen let out a hollow laugh. “Every single one of you is a top talent of the Longmen Summit!”“Yet, none of you can do anything about this?!”“You’re all trash in my eyes!”“You won’t even know how you’d die if I send you all to the underworld!”“If you can’t even deal with such a simple problem, then why don’t you just die?!”The examinees’ expressions worsened after hearing Bowen’s words.They all came from extraordinary families, and they wanted to retaliate after Bowen called them trash…But after reminding themselves of Bowen’s identity, they had no choice but to sit back down and keep silent.On the one hand, they were intimidated by Bowen’s power and status…On the other hand, they had no power to save Larisa.Fisher wanted to say something, but he couldn’t utter a single word after seeing Bowen’s infuri
“Leave! You have no right to do anything to Larisa!”Harvey stared calmly at Bowen. Then, he nodded. “Fine. I won’t save her if you don’t let me.”“That said, I still need to take the test. Give me something else to do.”Bowen scoffed coldly.“You want another test?”“There’s no need for that!”“Every single one of you is useless, anyway! There’s no chance any of you will pass!”“From now on, every examinee of this batch will be disqualified!”“Leave! Every single one of you!”“Leave, and never come back!”Harvey’s gaze turned as cold as ice after hearing Bowen being this unreasonable.Gossip could be heard all over the place.Nobody could hear the conversation between Harvey and Bowen, but they heard Bowen loud and clear when he said that he was going to disqualify every single examinee in the hall.Fisher couldn’t hold his feelings back any longer. He stepped out.“It’s inappropriate for you to just disqualify Harvey like that, Branch Leader Lee.”“Besides, he seems
“Since Branch Leader Lee’s already made his decision, you should just leave!”“You’re already disqualified, anyway! Stop being so persistent!”“You’ll only waste everyone’s time!”The examiners started to up after hearing Bowen’s words.They looked as if they were trying to teach a young man a lesson.“Fine. If that’s the case…”“I’ll quit on my own volition!”Harvey’s gaze turned as cold as ice as soon as he saw the arrogance on Bowen and everyone else’s faces.“That said, Bowen…”“Let me tell you something.”“Her body is filled with evil energy because she entered a haunted house.”“And because she was shot by a prop firearm, she is now in deep shock, causing the evil energy to flow straight into her soul.”“Ordinary means won’t be able to save her.”“There are only three people in Country H who can save her.”“And in Flutwell, only I can do that.”“If not saved, she’ll have to live the rest of her life this way.”Harvey wiped his fingers with some tissues. Then, he t
Ansel was an experienced man—he knew there was no way to cure his subordinate through normal means.Thus, he went to Longmen’s Flutwell branch for help, hoping that they would save his subordinate.Bowen was experienced as well, but he couldn’t do anything about the man’s state since he wasn’t well-versed in the Art of Killing.Ansel had been asking so-called experts of Flutwell the entire night, but to no avail.Bowen thought that Ansel had shown up to ask for his help. Who knew that Ansel immediately walked past him and the crowd, and made a beeline straight to Harvey?Before anyone could even react to the situation, Ansel apologized to Harvey. “I didn’t mean to disturb you today, Sir York.”“But my subordinate’s in a terrible state!”“I’ve thought about it for a long time. At this point, in all of Flutwell, only you can help him!”“That’s why I came here!”“While we were trying to go after a group of grave robbers, my subordinate became like this after getting struck by
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
The woman who looked like upper management was stunned when she heard Harvey called out to her. "Do you want to see our boss?""My, what a show-off," Nelly scoffed at Harvey's pretentiousness. "Do you want to complain against me by speaking to our boss? Xynthia, where did you find this man? Why is he so stupid? Does he think he can settle this by complaining? Is something wrong with his brain?"Not to mention who does he think he is, thinking he can see our boss whenever he wants? If he can see her, I will fall on my knees and call him daddy!"The other female models all covered their mouths and chuckled. To their understanding, what Harvey did was so laughable and childish. Even the lady from upper management mockingly looked at Harvey and said, "Sir, our company headquarters aren't that far. It'll only take three to five minutes to get there."But, do you really think you can see our boss, Ms. Marlee? Not only is she one of the Judds of Wolsing's three daughters, but ordinary peo
After Nelly finished saying what she had to say, several male models walked toward the women. It was obvious that if Xynthia still refused, she would have a fate worse than death. Xynthia's face turned a little pale. While she was already used to all the big scenes and would bring her bodyguards when she had to go somewhere dangerous to film, she did not expect to be in trouble, even in public, like Northsea Park.She was unsure what to say.Xynthia had already stopped talking back to Nelly and looked around, trying to see if she could get any help or escape. Nelly derisively looked at Xynthia when she saw Xynthia's darting eyes. "Stop looking, Xynthia. Judd Entertainment had reserved this entire space. It doesn't matter if it's the staff or the security; they all work for Judd Entertainment."In short, I am the queen bee of this place, and they'll do whatever I tell them to. That's why your fate has already been set."Nelly waved her hand, and the male models moved extremely qui
Just when Harvey was figuring out what was happening from Journi, Nelly and other female models had already surrounded Xynthia.Nelly gave Xynthia the elevator eyes, and the malice was clearly written on her face. "What right do you think you have to join Judd Entertainment's model competition? Look how skinny you are. I'm giving you a chance to keep Mr. Lee company, do you understand? Why won't you listen to me? Will you only give up after I hit your face until it's swollen?"All the other models were angry at Xynthia once they heard what Nelly had to say."That's right, Xynthia. If you don't listen to Nelly, just leave already!""Our circle is not for someone like you who comes from nowhere.""If we let someone like you join our social circle, it will be an embarrassment.""It's all thanks to models like you who came from nowhere that make others look down on our community, thinking that we don't have class."Xynthia frowned a little, but she still slowly replied, "I'm a stude
"It's true that my family doesn't own Judd Entertainment, but without me, Judd Entertainment would have closed years ago," said the tall woman with a sneer. "Don't tell me you have forgotten that I'm Judd Entertainment's advertising department's superstar?"Harvey did not rush forward and simply squinted his eyes, looking at how things unfolded. Journi noticed the change in Harvey and softly said, "The tall woman is indeed the superstar for Judd Entertainment's advertising department. Her name is Nelly Parker. I heard that she's one of the mistresses of Sawyer Judd, the third son of the Judd family."She had suppressed plenty of newbies who could have become big stars in their own right within Judd Entertainment. She would use everything she had to kick a person out whenever her status was threatened to the point that the other person couldn't survive in the entertainment industry anymore."I've heard that female students from Wolsing's Academy of Motion Pictures have been sold to t
Harvey smiled. "You're welcome. Since I'm already treating you as my friend, I will help you deal with these problems to the best of my ability."Journi shot a strange look at Harvey but did not say a word. The atmosphere around them was becoming somewhat awkward. At this time, Harvey's gaze fell upon a small plaza not too far from the café.He saw plenty of filming equipment scattered around while some handsome men and beautiful women were filming something. It looked like there was some kind of event happening there.Journi looked at what Harvey was looking at. Then, as if she remembered something, she pointed at a logo next to the plaza. "Looks like it's an event organized by Judd Entertainment."Harvey saw a figure among the crowd and subconsciously asked, "Judd Entertainment?"Journi nodded. "The entertainment company belonged to the Judd family. Their business mainly involves filming dramas, movies, and advertisements. They're most widely known for their advertising. I heard
