“Miss Cobb!”The man in a white t-shirt went forward to greet Katy, and nodded at Ellen.There was a slight fluctuation in his eyes when he shifted his gaze toward Harvey.“Thank you, Young Master Padlow. Thank you, everyone.”Katy nodded at the crowd before turning to the man in the white t-shirt.“This is the protege of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, Gael Padlow.”“He’s pretty powerful and has a strong background as well.”Harvey nodded, not saying much. He looked back at Ellen; her face was bright red and she seemed quite anxious.After looking at Ellen, then at Katy and Gael, Harvey smiled faintly.He had figured something out.But before he could dwell on the thoughts, Katy took a deep breath and said, “Thank you all for putting all your strength into my grandfather’s condition for the past few days.”“That said, he still hasn’t gotten any better. Rather, he’s in worse shape than before.”“I’m not blaming anyone for this, but I think the attempts should stop here
“He’s just a young man! He doesn’t look like a doctor either, so he must be a martial artist.”“Even if he trained since he was in his mother’s womb, there’s no way he’s even better than the rest of us here.”“I suspect he’s a con artist! Who’s going to take responsibility if anything bad happens after this? Him? Or everyone else?”The crowd naturally had their own opinions about Harvey.After all, they all wanted Katy to look at them in a different light. However, they all failed miserably.Rather, an ordinary-looking young man managed to get Katy’s respect. This was completely unforgivable for Gael.Ellen was muttering to herself when she looked at Harvey; she didn’t blatantly insult Harvey, but she was clearly on Gael’s side.Harvey smiled calmly, stopping Katy from saying anything.He looked at Gael and said, “I’m not from any sacred martial arts training grounds, nor do I have any impressive background.”“I’m just an ordinary person.”“What gave you the courage to come h
“I’m no doctor. I don’t come from the sacred martial arts training grounds, either,” Harvey began calmly.“But I do know a bit of the art of killing. I can save people using that. Is there a problem?”“Of course there is!”Gael scoffed coldly.“I’m a martial artist as well! Of course I know about that!”“The problem is, you have to learn everything there is about it!”“Simply put, you need to be a genius with lots of experience to save someone using that art.”“If you think you’re actually capable, then show me what you’ve got!”“If you can’t, then you should stop lying to Miss Cobb. You’re just hindering us from finding a way to treat Elder Cobb!”“We’ll find a way to make Elder Cobb better using both medicine and martial arts soon enough!”Gael shot Harvey a challenging look before pointing at the treatment plans that everyone had put together on the table.“Why don’t we show an idiot like you the South Sea’s flawless treatment plan instead?”Naturally, to show that he wa
“Let me tell you one more thing.”Harvey studied Gael calmly.“Someone must’ve come up with the same plan.”“However, the Cobb family would never allow this to happen.”“That’s right. Someone did come up with this before. My grandfather is a God of War and the best fighter in all of the South Sea. Only idiots would think to cripple his training!” Katy exclaimed coldly.“If so, what’s the point of inviting you people here?”Gael had a horrible look on his face.He was perfectly confident he’d be able to save Dean and win Katy’s heart at the same time, but his plan was no different than a sick joke to her.“Medicine and martial arts have the same origin. You all should understand this fact.”“If you want to succeed in these fields, only modesty can get you far.”Harvey didn’t want to let Gael go. He started going against the people who were planning to run their mouths in front of him.“None of you are modest enough for this. Rather, you’re all cocky people who only know how
After completely disrespecting the people there, Harvey gestured to Katy to lead him into Dean’s room.Gael and a few other so-called expert martial artists were boiling with anger, but they were curious to see if Harvey could actually save Dean.That was why they followed along too.Harvey ignored them completely.Katy knew it was the best time for Harvey to show his strength. So, she didn’t chase the crowd away.After arriving at a room about two thousand square feet wide, Harvey saw Dean lying on a yellow flower pear wood mattress.There was a lot of equipment strapped to his body, indicating his vital signs.Since he was a God of War, he wasn’t able to be injected with any medicine because of his thick skin.Dean had only survived this long because Katy had been painstakingly feeding him water every single day.Harvey felt extremely guilty after seeing Dean turn out this way for his sake.Katy took a step forward and grabbed Harvey’s right hand.“Sir York, you shouldn’t
Ellen asked something nobody dared to question.Even Katy’s beautiful eyes shifted gaze toward Harvey, carrying a hint of doubt.“Don’t worry. There’s no need to lie to you about this. Elder Cobb will come back today.”Katy was so excited that her body started trembling.“That’s good! That’s really good!”“I don’t know how I can repay you for this, Sir York…”Gael and the others frowned upon seeing Katy’s affectionate look toward Harvey.They believed Harvey’s actions were quite impressive before, but that was basically it.So many of them couldn’t even pinpoint Dean’s condition and symptoms…Yet, Harvey claimed he was able to save Dean on the very same day.‘What a joke!’‘This b*stard’s being a little too cocky!’“Don’t be so full of yourself, Harvey!”“You’ll be embarrassing yourself if you can't get Elder Cobb up!”Gael was filled with hatred after his kidney deficiency was exposed. He couldn’t help but speak up through gritted teeth.A few other expert martial artis
Katy lost her composure completely; she wanted to run into Dean’s arms, but she went into Harvey’s arms instead in fear of hurting her grandfather.“Thank you so much, Sir York!”“You’re our family’s savior! I just don’t know how to repay you!”“This is nothing,” Harvey said with a faint smile.“That said, Elder Cobb’s injuries are quite bad. He needs to stay in a quiet place for at least six months so he can recover.”“Don’t worry, Sir York. I can handle the rest,” Katy replied with a tender voice.“No! This is impossible! This is illogical!”Gael finally came to his senses.That said, he was still filled with utter disbelief.He was well-versed in both medical skills and martial arts; he had quite a lot of accomplishments since he was young, and had made a name for himself in the South Sea.Even he couldn’t tell what exactly happened to Dean. He could only come up with a plan along with everyone else here.Judging from his estimation, the plan would require at least anothe
Katy didn’t pick up her phone immediately. She showed Harvey an apologetic smile before going to the side of the street for a few minutes.Harvey could clearly tell she was in distress.When Katy hung up on the phone, she had a faint smile as she walked toward Harvey.“What? Did something happen?” Harvey casually asked.“You’re the head of the South Sea Gang. Nobody would dare go against you here.”Katy flashed him a bitter smile.“You’re kidding me, Sir York. The South Sea Gang might have a bit of authority in Hong Kong and Las Vegas…”“But things are different here in the South Sea.”“Other than my secretary and a few trusted subordinates, I didn’t bring anyone else with me.”“I thought I could just leave after dealing with my grandfather’s condition...”“But things don’t always go as planned.”“Do you need my help?” Harvey asked.“It’s just the family business; it’s not hard to deal with at all. It’s just a little troublesome, is all.”Katy rubbed her temples.“There’s
"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
