Swish, swish, swish!Harvey ignored the crowd as he carefully drew on the talismans.He had learned this trick from an old priest on the battlefield back in the day.The priest said the blood of a God of War could dispel almost anything.That said, one had to learn how to use the blood first.For example, evil energy within a person’s body could only be banished through paper talismans that could generate energy opposite from that.Harvey learned all sorts of drawings from the priest.After finishing a complicated drawing, Harvey swung his hand and threw the talisman on the unconscious inspector’s head.Pffft!The talisman went up in flames; as the fire danced in the air, the talisman gradually sucked the darkness on the inspector’s face until it was all gone.Soon after, the talisman turned to ashes before dispersing into the wind.Everyone was shocked. The whole thing felt like a dream.Everyone knew there were all sorts of mystical arts hidden within the underworld, but
Time passed bit by bit. Five minutes later, the inspector suddenly sat up straight.Filth gushed right out of his mouth immediately after.His face was a little pale, but he was able to sit up.“He’s back! He’s really back!”The other inspectors all surrounded him for a closer look.After making sure that the inspector was completely fine, they were all filled with gratitude toward Harvey .At that instant, Bowen’s face darkened.He glared at his daughter and mumbled quietly to himself, “Don’t wake up! Don’t wake up!”However, things don’t often turn out the way people want.A little while after the inspector woke up, Larisa suddenly screamed in fear.“I got shot! I got shot!”Bowen froze in an instant.“You’re…You’re back?!” he exclaimed instinctively.“Father!”Larisa was completely back to normal. After recognizing Bowen’s face, she immediately jumped into his arms.“I thought I’d never see you again!”“I was so scared!”Tears flowed down her face.Bowen had a horr
While Xynthia was talking to Harvey on the phone, Ai and his people were sitting in the main hall without any restraint.Ai believed that Harvey wouldn’t dare do anything to him, but he immediately rushed to the hospital after finding out that Mrs. Lee was forced to kneel there.Ai knew this was probably the first step of Harvey’s plan.Ai would probably be targeted on the second step.Whether it be to stand up for Mrs. Lee or to strike first, Ai showed up to flaunt his strength.More importantly, he went to meet with his support before coming here.After getting his support’s approval, Ai was confident that it would be extremely easy for him to crush Harvey.Aside from the Capital Gang, Senior Miller—the person who was slapped around by Harvey—came with Ai as well. Senior Miller couldn’t forget the pain he had to endure back then.Not only was Ai chasing the patients and the medical staff away from the hospital, but he was also making threats; claiming he’d do whatever he want
Seeing Senior Miller’s arrogant look on his face, the beautiful women surrounding Ai covered their mouths slyly and smirked.‘God knows what that b*stard did to humiliate Mrs. Lee..’‘But this means that Ai’s reputation is at stake!’‘As the leader of the Capital Gang, he won’t allow anybody to disrespect him, even at the cost of his life!’‘He’d always reclaim his pride wherever he lost it!’Simply put, the women were sure that Harvey was a dead man.Ai held onto his cigar as he leaned on the couch with his legs crossed.He didn’t stop Senior Miller from acting all high and mighty; there were some things he couldn’t do, considering his identity.That said, a lackey like Senior Miller flaunting his strength was quite effective for his cause.Xynthia quickly stepped back, as if she was scared witless.“I’m so sorry! It’s my fault for not bringing you expensive tea…”“How are you people so rude?!”“This young lady is filled with scars and bruises, yet you had to ruin her tea
Creak!The emergency exit was pushed open. Harvey showed up.He quickly walked over after seeing Xynthia in the distance.“So you actually showed up, Harvey!”Senior Miller took a step forward while touching his aching face. He sized up Harvey before flashing Harvey a wretched smile.“I thought you’d hide forever, you b*stard! I was sure you’d never show up again!”“Now that you’re here, let me tell you something!”“You’ll pay us back tenfold for what happened at Film City and Mrs. Lee’s birthday banquet!”“If you don’t, I’ll kill you once and for all!”Naturally, Senior Miller knew that Ai asked for support before showing up here.That was why Senior Miller was extremely confident in himself. He had never been this arrogant before his entire life.The beautiful women crossed their arms as they studied Harvey.They thought that Harvey was either a wealthy man or an experienced fighter since he dared to slap Senior Miller in the face, utterly disrespect Mrs. Lee, and dared n
Harvey let out a small chuckle. Ai crossed his legs and took a puff of his cigar. “I didn’t think we’d meet again so soon.”“I was a little busy, so I wasn’t able to settle scores with you just yet.”“I didn’t think you’d send yourself to me all of a sudden.”“Have you been living too comfortably? Don’t you want to live anymore?”“Are you here for excitement? Or are you here to die?”Ai froze. Then, he waved his hand to stop Senior Miller and the others from lashing out.“You’re pretty cocky, young man,” he exclaimed coldly while glaring at Harvey.“Since you’ve disrespected Mrs. Lee, that means that you at least have some talent, strength, and the background for that.”“That said, you should know that you’re in Flutwell right now!”“This is the biggest city of Country H’s southwest region! Mordu, the Golden Sands, and Buckwood are on par with it!”“Other than the Golden Palace, the top ten families, and the four cornerstones, there are many other people that you should lea
“Don’t be too stubborn, Harvey York!“You’re still young! There are things that you still can’t handle!Ai Kamino blew out a puff of smoke before he sat up straight.“I admit that I have underestimated you.“But even if you have the Torres family with you, you have no right to do as you please!“For instance, you should be respecting me right now.“After all, you have no right to go against the person behind me.”Then, Ai snapped his fingers before his secretary walked over with a case.Ai opened the case and took out a business card before setting it right on Harvey’s coffee table.Clyde Osborne!There was nothing else on the card besides wild scribbles of the name!The calligraphy felt powerful yet elegant. An aura of invincibility and dominance could be felt just by merely looking at the card!“Clyde Osborne?”Harvey frowned. He was not familiar with the name.Ai showed a profound look on his face.“That’s right. Prince Osborne himself.“I visited his place before co
“Seems like you’re no ordinary person either. At least you have some experience.“You wouldn’t be able to guess that Prince Osborne is from one of the five hidden families if that weren’t the case.Ai Kamino nodded with pride and confidence, blatantly showing on his face.“Since you know what sort of person Prince Osborne is, I’m sure we’ll have a great talk.”Ai then took out a list before throwing it right before Harvey York.Other than Mrs. Lee’s compensation, Film City’s losses for the past few days were also written on the list, along with Senior Miller’s medical fees among other things. Every single thing was written in detail.“You’ll have to compensate for the amount listed here tenfold. Do you understand me?” said Ai while squinting at Harvey.Harvey merely shrugged before showing a smile on his face.“If I wasn’t looking closely, I really thought you were the one compensating my sister-in-law’s losses.“Heh!”Ai disdained Harvey’s sharp tongue. At this moment, he lo
"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
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
