“Naive?”Looking at the charming woman in front of him, Harvey smiled faintly. “CEO Moreno, people have always failed to recognize the things outside of their knowledge.”“You’re talking real big right now, but aren’t you scared you’d get completely disrespected again like last time?”“Don’t you understand that the effectiveness of the medicine is the reason they sell?”“The ones the Cobb family are making right now can’t even compare to most of the medicine on the market right now.”“Do you think it’s that hard for me to crush a business like that?”“Maybe the time I’m open for business is when I lead the business to become a living legend!”“Heh, heh, heh! I admire your naivety, Harvey.”Noemi showed a mocking look on her face and crossed her arms, pushing out her delightful cleavage.“You’re quite experienced—you have a few tricks up your sleeve, but that doesn’t mean that you know the business.”“You should really order a few flower baskets at least. It’ll be embarrassi
Harvey completely ignored Noemi and the others, and casually left the place after giving instructions to the workers.This whole event was about Katy, so he decided to go to her temporary place of stay.Julian was the one who arranged the villa located in the suburbs.Not just Katy; Dean, who was still extremely weak, was resting here as well.Many security guards were in charge of the place. Thus, Harvey felt at ease here.After heading into the main hall, Harvey saw Katy happily humming a song while cutting some vegetables in the open kitchen.Harvey narrowed his eyes at the sight; he didn’t think he’d see the bloodthirsty head of the South Sea Gang emanate such a feminine aura.As the sun went down, her elegant and tender figure could be seen clearly; any man wouldn’t hesitate to wrap their arms around her.Harvey let out a sigh to stop his heart from pounding hard, and then knocked on the marble wall.“You’re here?”Katy showed a warm smile upon seeing Harvey.“I heard y
“The people outside say that I’m a patient woman, but it looks like you’re one step above me right now,” Katy said.Harvey smiled, but didn’t say anything. He couldn’t just say that he was used to his life with the Zimmer family for the past three years.“Alright, let’s not talk about Ellen for now.”Harvey revealed a satisfied expression after taking a few more bites out of the curry.“In the first place, we only met because of you .”“Everyone thinks I’m just trying to climb the ranks using her, but you of all people should know the truth.”“I thought I’d make a new friend here, but it looks like it’s the opposite.”Harvey smiled helplessly; he felt a little disappointed.Ellen felt like a totally different person after everything that happened; he didn’t expect any of this to happen.Their friendship turned to dust in a matter of days; it wouldn’t be far off to call them enemies at this point.Eden and Noemi instigated the entire thing, but at the end of the day, their v
Bam!While Katy was still stunned, the windows of the main hall blasted open.A silhouette jumped in soon after.The silhouette then pulled the trigger in Harvey and Katy’s direction.Bang, bang, bang!Six bullets ricocheted out almost at the same time, stopping the two from going anywhere.Harvey immediately pushed Katy and covered her.At the same time, he rolled on the ground and picked up a knife, and threw it straight ahead.The sound of metals clanked, and the silhouette swung the firearm forward to deflect the knife.The knife pierced right into the kitchen hood.The killer froze for a moment, hands trembling profusely.The person’s figure could finally be seen clearly.She was a small person in a school uniform and a face mask; no matter how anyone looked at her, she seemed like an ordinary student.That said, she had quite nimble movements and deadly attacks.Harvey’s calm expression was enough to freeze the killer.She picked the best moment to strike, just for
Harvey cleanly took off the killer’s mask and removed the poison sac in her mouth. He then quickly kicked her firearm away without hesitation.An innocent and pure-looking face could be seen.The killer seemed to be in her twenties; she had a good-looking face, but her gaze expressed her stubbornness.The woman glared furiously at Harvey.After realizing that she had no chance to even kill herself, she could only look at Harvey in anger.“Talk. Who are you? Who sent you?” Harvey asked with a judgmental gaze.The woman didn’t say a single word; she only looked away as if she didn’t mind what Harvey had done to her.Katy walked over, glaring at the woman with a small smile.“If I’m guessing correctly, you must be from the most well-known killer organization from the South Sea—the Royal Palace.”“You came here to kill me, not Harvey.”The woman instinctively glanced at Katy before scoffing disdainfully.“Let me guess again. If I’m correct, the Cobb family must’ve paid a high pr
Katy chuckled when Harvey saw through her completely. “Why don’t you guess why I decided to send her to the police instead of killing her?”“You sent her to the hospital with the cops for two reasons…” Harvey replied.“Number one, you want the Cobb family to know that their plan was foiled. You want them to panic.”“Number two, you want the so-called Royal Palace to go against them.”“No matter how much they were paid, it should be obvious how things would turn out if they found out that they were betrayed.”“Pretty impressive for you to come up with the plan on the spot. Two birds in one stone, as they say.”“That said, this is still a little risky. I’ll get Julian to send a few more experts to keep you safe.”Katy nodded.She turned the situation around against the Cobb family, but nobody knew what kind of tricks they were going to pull out after this.…At the same time, in the Cobb family’s courtyard.Inside the quiet meeting room, Grandma Cobb was sitting in her chair
Grandma Cobb’s hand trembled once again. She screamed, “Are you playing with me, you b*stasrd?”“You want that much deposit for some damn country bumpkin?”“Are you kidding me?!”“According to the rules, we’re not allowed to provide any sort of intel. That said, we’ll explain the current situation to you.”“This person’s true identity is quite extraordinary. He’s pretty skillful as well.”“According to our intel, he was the one who managed to get Katy in such a favorable situation against the Cobb family.”“If he doesn’t die, we can safely assume that your family will collapse without a doubt.”“Anyway, you can decide if you want to pay the money.”The person was about to hang up the phone.For them, the Cobb family was just an ordinary customer after all.“Wait!”Grandma Cobb took a deep breath, an odd look on her face.“I’ll pay!”“But I need to make sure that the formula will be in my hands after this!”“Not a problem.”The person smiled.“We’ll definitely complete t
Katy Cobb sat beside Harvey York, stretching her slender legs with a smile.“I heard it’s best not to spill blood before the opening. It’s bad luck, after all.“Maybe we should just call the cops and chase the troublemakers out of the place.”Katy was in low spirits. She was not interested in fighting after everything that had happened.“Don’t worry. I won’t let that happen for the sake of our company.Harvey sent a text while showing a faint smile.“That said, there’s no need to call the cops.“The inspectors here love the nightlife. It’d be rude if we disturbed them.“Outstanding citizens like us should deal with our own problems.”Soon after, the car arrived.Compared to the elegance of the Cobb family’s flagship store, Harvey’s store seemed a lot more gloomy.Not only were a few signs completely smashed up, but dozens of people in robes were also standing around the place.A tall man was leading the group of people. His muscles were quite eye-catching when murderous int
"Of course, you can. You're the leader of the Judd family!" Veronica said to Veer in a sarcastic tone. "However, to think that you've mistreated our mother… Aren't you supposed to resign already?"Veer coldly replied, "Don't worry. Even if I do resign, you won't be the next leader. So you can stop dreaming about it already."The corner of Veronica's lips twitched. She had wanted to say something else when an old man with white hair came out from the inner chamber at that moment. With a cold voice, he rebuked them, "Enough! Your mother is still unconscious in bed right now, but all of you argue amongst yourselves here. Where are your manners?"I have not been managing things for many years, but do I no longer have any influence within the family?"Veer narrowed his eyes a little when he saw the old man. Then, he stepped forward and bowed his head. "I understand, father."After seeing Veer's attitude, he turned his attention to Veronica and the others. "It's the same for all of you.
"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
