“I wouldn’t mind sacrificing for my country if you’re my target.”Zoe Garcia showed a faint smile before gesturing, leading Harvey York into the box that had been prepared ahead of time.Harvey sat down and picked up a teacup before returning the smile.“I’m a good man, Maiden Garcia. That’s a little disrespectful, don’t you think?“The honey trap won’t work.”“Whether it’ll work or not depends on your attitude,” replied Zoe.“My attitude?”Harvey showed a playful look.“So, it won’t be easy for me to have a meal here?“This is obviously a trap for me…“So, what do you want from me exactly?“There’s no need to hold anything back. Why don’t you tell me everything instead?”Zoe heaved a sigh with a helpless expression on her face.“Don’t you realize why I brought you here?“You set me up on the very first day, breaking me off from the other Indians. They’ve been doubting and isolating me since then!“And now, after fifteen straight losses, all of them are directing their a
“I’ll get to that.”Zoe Garcia showed a warm smile before bringing a golden box from under the table and pushing it toward Harvey York.Her jacket slipped away from her, revealing her tender-looking shoulders while pushing the box.Then, she leaned over, as if she did not realize anything that was happening.“Sir York, India’s royal family wishes you to join our ranks!” said Zoe in a soft tone.“The royal family will make you a Brahmin if you do!“The future generations of your family will have the same treatment!”Harvey squinted after hearing those words.‘These people are quite something…The Indians knew that Harvey was not short of money. That was why they were using the title as a bargaining chip.Zoe, Axel Garcia, Cody Garcia, and Frankie Garcia were only Kshatriyas…And yet they offered Harvey a higher position than all of them.Simply put, if Harvey agreed to the deal, he could make anyone in India kneel!He would even be on par with the prince of India. The futur
“Your strength and abilities are definitely worthy of those rewards!”Zoe Garcia showed a sweet smile.“Of course, to show that you’re willing to become one of us, I’ll need a little proof from you.“After all, all 1.3 billion people in India are dying to be Brahmins.“Since India’s willing to sacrifice so much for you, you should at least make them understand that you’re worth this much, right?“If not, how are you going to please the crowd?“Proof?”Harvey York showed a faint smile.“Don’t tell me it’s about tomorrow’s fight.”“Smart man, Sir York. You got me.Zoe smiled.“Master Garcia said that if Amber Levine and the others lose their fights tomorrow…“We’ll give you the money and the badge on the spot!“Your other rewards will be prepared immediately after!“At the same time, we’ll prepare a private jet for you to travel to our mighty country!“If you want to bring your friends and family along, we can arrange that as well!“We’ll ensure that you live comfortably
Zoe Garcia froze.Harvey York’s words startled her. In her mind, Harvey would have firmly rejected the offer.She quickly regained her smile before quietly replying, “Of course!“That said, I’m still not ready yet. Why don’t we get some time after tomorrow, Sir York?”Harvey seemed a little annoyed after hearing Zoe’s words.“Are you going back on your word now?” asked Harvey coldly after taking a deep breath.“You’re making me work without me getting anything in return?“Of course, I need something good first before getting to work!“If you don’t want to do it right now, we can do this another way!“Here’s my card. Give me my money first!“You don’t have to worry about me running away either!“After all, I’m more interested in you!“I’m craving for your body already!”Harvey pulled out his bank card before slipping it into Zoe’s hand.Zoe’s smile instantly froze. Everything that Harvey did had completely caught her off guard.In her mind, Harvey would decline the offer
“Alright. That’s enough for today, Maiden Garcia.“Go back and tell Axel Garcia something for me.“Schemes don’t work like this. If he wants to make empty promises, at least show the real stuff first.“People aren’t stupid nowadays.“I have had no interest in your offer since the beginning, but I am interested in you.Harvey York held Zoe Garcia’s hand quietly before taking back his card with a profound smile.“Maiden Garcia, some of the things you’re promising me are just too good to be true. Those things are simply out of reach…“But not the Martial Hall.“We’ll still welcome you with open arms when you’re ready!“I don’t go back on my word…”Then, Harvey chuckled before walking away.Zoe’s mouth twitched when she was utterly enraged. She quietly put her hand back in her bag soon after.A card slipped out without a sound.Right when Harvey retrieved his card, he snuck another into Zoe’s hand.Zoe glanced at the Black Card in the corner of her eye with a hesitant look.
Harvey York frowned. He could tell that this was the Indians’ doing without even doing any investigation.Safe to say that they were extremely scheming, carrying out two underhanded tactics simultaneously.That said, Harvey knew Axel Garcia would not dare kill off Amber Levine and the others to prevent the people of Country H from cursing him. After all, this would be too obvious.That was why Harvey was not that worried.“Did anyone suspicious go to the Martial Hall today?” asked Harvey after giving a thought about the situation.“Not really, but those troublemakers from the Golden Palace did.“Though, they weren’t here to cause trouble. They came to apologize to Amber and the others.“The mean woman even groveled right in front of the three…”“The Golden Palace?”Harvey frowned. He instantly knew that something was wrong.After all, they picked such a peculiar time to visit.Harvey quickly called a cab before heading back to the Martial Hall.Harvey arrived before thirty
“That said, if this is really the potion we’re talking about, the only way Amber Levine and the others turned this way is because they ingested something.“But the disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement are in charge of everything we eat and drink here. There’s no way they’d suddenly turn against us either.“Did they eat or drink anything that the outsiders brought in?”“The outsiders brought in…?”Layne Naiswell’s expression changed.“Tea…”“What?” Harvey York instinctively looked over.Layne’s expression instantly worsened.“About the people who came to apologize. The mean woman poured three cups of tea for the young talents while kneeling on the ground.“She said that drinking the tea would mean that they forgave her. If they didn’t drink the tea, she’d keep kneeling on the ground forever…“But the tea leaves and the water are ours. How…?”Harvey’s face darkened before he let out a huge sigh.“It’ll be extremely easy for them to poison those three.“For example, they
At ten o’clock at night. The Golden Courtyard.This place belonged to Flutwell’s sacred martial arts training grounds, the Golden Palace, and was also an important stronghold for their prominent figures.Rain was pouring outside, but the courtyard was still flooded with bright lights and people walking all over the place.Decorations were placed all over the main hall. It was indeed a dazzling sight.After all, this was the engagement banquet of the Golden Palace’s top outer disciple, Koen Bierstadt himself.His partner was none other than the daughter of an elder from the Golden Palace.Safe to say that this was quite a strong alliance.Koen invited many friends in the martial arts world to join the banquet.A banquet like this was where people from the upper social circle socialized and made friends.Even though many people here were martial artists, they were all fashionable.The women wore dresses from luxurious brands while showing off their limited-edition bags and acce
