Yvonne Xavier and Ray Hart froze when they saw Noemi Moreno show up.“Ah, CEO Moreno. You’re pretty well-informed, and I didn’t think you’d be able to figure out our flight schedule accurately.“Interesting.”Noemi showed a faint smile.“My daughter’s the daughter-in-law of the Cobb family, after all.“It’s customary for us to know when you’re here to celebrate the Cobb family’s anniversary event.Yvonne and Ray looked at each other before showing profound looks on their faces.“Why don’t you let me treat you to a meal now that you’re here?“I’ll treat you to the best local meals tonight. How does that sound?”“I’m sorry, CEO Moreno. We’re going to see the chairman right now.“Maybe another time.”Yvonne turned around and left after that.Ray showed an apologetic smile before following behind.Noemi did not get angry after being rejected. Rather, she froze before showing an expression full of shock.‘The chairman?‘The legendary man himself?‘He’s here in the city?!‘I
As time passed, guests gradually started to arrive.Mercedes, Ferraris, Porsches, and other luxury cars were showing up one after another. All the people who arrived looked extremely extravagant.They were all neatly dressed, with jewelry covering their entire bodies. They were moving past the crowd with tall glasses in their hands, as if they were attending a high-end banquet.They would occasionally chat with the others while laughing out loud before showing playful expressions when looking at Harvey York and the others.Compared to their extravagant event, Harvey’s store was completely invisible.‘What a pity…’‘No journalists from TV stations or newspapers…’‘No well-known guests…’‘No celebrity models to hype the scene…’Without free money and drinks, even ordinary people did not bother heading over.Other than “free samples” written on the sign, there was nothing else to indicate that Harvey’s business was officially open.The people could not help but laugh at such an
After seeing the organized and classy look of the Cobb family, Ellen Moreno could not help but chuckle at Harvey York when she looked back with a cold expression.“I could give you a flower basket and buy a box of whatever ointment you have to get your business running.”The people behind Ellen chuckled after hearing Ellen’s words.‘A country bumpkin from Country H put his heart and soul into opening a store, and then what happened?’‘Not even a single customer came! He’s even relying on the goddess who left him to bless him with a flower basket!’‘This is just pathetic at this point!’Harvey sipped his tea before casually replying, “No need. Your flower basket has no right to be here.“We also have no space for you here.”Ellen’s expression changed.“Heh heh heh! There’s no space for me?!“Keep pretending!“Do you think you’re impressive just because you know Trey Bierstadt?!“Do you think you’re the king of the world?!“You’re a nobody here!Ellen let out a cold chuckle
Harvey York squinted. It was a big day, so he could not be bothered to argue against Ellen Moreno.“Drink some water and get more rest while you still can,” said Harvey, looking at Katy Cobb and the others.“We won’t get time for that once the guests arrive.”Then, Harvey poured himself another cup of tea before taking a sip.Ellen and the others stumbled for a bit before looking back at Harvey with utter disbelief.Everyone showed playful and distant smiles, as if they were looking at the clown.They had seen a lot of shameless and ridiculous people, but it was rare for them to see someone like Harvey!‘Not a single customer could be seen, not a single flower basket is taking up space, yet he still has the face to say things like that!’‘How shameless can he get?!’“Tch tch tch! This is getting a little too much, don’t you think?”Grandma Cobb, Eden Cobb, and Valery Cobb walked over with a group of people after seeing Ellen and the others.They immediately scoffed when they
Vroom!Along with the loud sounds of engines revving, a Maybach slowly parked on the street.Right when Grandma Cobb and the others were about to welcome their new guest with a smile, they just realized that there were already no parking spots left for their event.The Maybach was parked right in front of Harvey’s store.Soon after, five men and women walked out of the car.Their clothes were exquisite. Every single one of their movements exuded the auras of elites and upperclassmen.The leading person was none other than Yvonne Xavier.Ray Hart was following closely behind her.Grandma Cobb and the others froze before they showed faces full of shock.There were already reports of Yvonne and Ray in the city for a few days. That was why everyone recognized the two prominent figures of Country H.That said, Grandma Cobb believed she and her family had no right to invite those two!They were not worthy enough just yet!‘Did Noemi get them here?!’After hearing that the Moreno
Yvonne Xavier and Ray Hart did not even bat an eye at Noemi Moreno. They immediately walked past her without even bothering to answer her question.Casually ignoring someone like that was clearly an act of silent ridicule.When the two walked toward Harvey York, Yvonne showed a faint smile while Ray showed a respectful expression.“It’s been a while.”Harvey and Yvonne lightly wrapped their arms around each other.The simple movement and Yvonne’s exquisite face were enough for Ellen Moreno to change her expression. She did not even know how to feel at that point.She could not wrap her head around why women like Katy Cobb and Yvonne would treat Harvey with such respect!After all, he was just a man she had cast aside!Harvey glanced at Ray before calmly saying, “You should probably figure out who you’re working with first next time.“After all, we don’t want any random person to get up in our business.”Ray lightly nodded.“You’re right about that. I couldn’t stop certain pe
“I didn’t think you’d care about me this much to get these prominent figures here!“It’s a shame that their identities and statuses are just too high.“You have no right to even have their company here either! This act is just completely out of place!“We can clearly tell these two are just here for show!“At least be honest about it! Just say the word if you can’t get anyone here!“There’s no need to pretend! Nobody knows just how many times you have to kneel for them even to come here!“You only asked for fifteen million dollars? Why not ask for at least 1.5 billion?Ellen Moreno raised her head with a disdainful glare.“Other than these two, I can guarantee nobody else will be coming to your store’s opening!“If there are any, I’ll eat up the sign right now!”Ellen then pointed at Harvey York’s sign with a playful expression.Noemi Moreno was starting to get a little irritated.“Ellen! You can’t just accuse Secretary Xavier and CEO Ray of that!“They’re just soft-hearte
Ellen Moreno looked prideful when she glared at Harvey York.To Ellen, Mr. Finley’s worth was immense compared to Yvonne Xavier and Ray Hart, after all.“Welcome, Mr. Finley! Thank you for gracing us with your visit!”Noemi Moreno and Ellen followed behind with gentle smiles and rising egos hidden in their hearts.After all, having connections with Mr. Finley was a symbol of one’s status in the city.“Oh, Grandma Cobb, CEO Moreno. Congratulations.Mr. Finley felt a little annoyed after having his path blocked off, but he still showed a gentle smile like a true gentleman.“Keep up the good work.”Grandma Cob and the others burst out laughing after hearing Mr. Finley’s words.“Thank you for your support! It really means a lot to us!”“Ellen! Eden! Quickly! Mr. Finley has a gift for us!” exclaimed Noemi quickly after seeing a gift box in his hands.“It’d be embarrassing for him to hold it for so long!”Ellen and Eden Cobb excitedly reached out for the gift box.After all, in
When Royce saw the change in Xynthia's expression, he became even more pleased. He quickly explained everything that had just happened. Of course, he had changed certain details during his explanation, turning himself into an innocent victim. Meanwhile, Harvey and Xynthia became a despicable couple who did whatever they wanted."How shameless can you get, Royce?!" Xynthia couldn't help but yell when she heard how Royce changed the facts. "My mom did take your money, but I already promised that I'll give you back the money! But not only did you take away my phone, you didn't even let me leave. You're even going to force myself on you. Don't you think that what you're doing is especially shameless?"Royce's expression didn't even change as he said, "Shameless? It's true I have a thing for money and beautiful women, but I have my own rules. I never force anyone. Every woman that became mine did so out of their own volition. Everyone in Country A knows this!"Royce looked at Kyros and
Electric sparks surrounded the head of the war hammer, which exuded a charred stench. It was flying just like the legendary Mjolnir, a powerful aura surrounding it.Tyson's expression changed as he immediately moved and blocked in front of Harvey. He strikes at the hammer with both hands holding its hilt with all his might.Clang!There was a loud clang as the war hammer and sword struck each other. Tyson swayed for a moment, and blood trickled down from the edge of his lips.His eyes became extremely sharp, as if he had an epiphany. He once again stepped forward and pounced ahead, and the sword in his hand slashed downward.Bang!This time, there was a large bang—Tyson's attack struck the man's armor. The man shook, and he was blown away. He slammed into the restaurant's glass—it started to crack immediately, looking like a spiderweb, terrifying everyone who watched.At the same time, Harvey turned and looked at the man in the armor. His face was quite handsome, and the muscles
Harvey ignored the arrogant Royce and immediately took Xynthia's hand, attempting to turn and leave. Though he wanted to floor Royce and grind that scumbag's face against the floor, he decided to end everything here. Considering that Xynthia was still present, he was worried it might scare her.But when Royce saw Harvey taking Xynthia and heading to the exit, he thought Harvey was scared. He scoffed coldly and waved his hand; without wasting another breath, he ordered, "Get him!"The foreign bodyguards didn't even waste any more time and obeyed his command, roaring as they charged toward Harvey. Electric sparks appeared around them as their muscles turned green, and steel claws emerged from their fists. It was obvious now that they weren't normal people, but rather mutants from Country A.Many were stunned when they saw this scene and grew pale, and instinctively stepped backward to avoid them.The mutants hadn't even reached Harvey when Tyson, who had been standing aside quietly
Royce let out a cry as his body shuddered. He held the other side of his face, which had swelled. There was only disbelief on his face; he couldn't help but take a few steps back.He couldn't believe that Harvey dared to give him a second slap! Everyone who saw it was speechless, as if they had seen something horrifying. Many of the scions and influential people quickly withdrew along with the beauties in their arms. None of them wanted to get caught in this.One who dared to slap Royce again and again was either truly talented or had a death wish. But no matter which kind of person he was, there was no way this would end peacefully today.Even someone ordinary, maybe with a bit of influence, would fight to the death against another who slapped him twice."Brother-in-law…" Xynthia looked at Harvey with admiration. She knew Harvey was good, but she didn't expect he would act so rashly for her. After a while, Royce finally managed to recover. He held his face, the muscles on it
The scions and the politically powerful within the restaurant thought they had drunk too much and were hallucinating. The bodyguards behind Royce even slapped themselves a few times, just to make sure they weren't dreaming.It was obvious that they couldn't believe that Harvey had walked into the revolving restaurant on top of the Geraldton Hotel without a care in the world and even slapped the secret owner of the hotel to the floor.That was Royce, the scion of the Yates of Country A! How dare Harvey? How could he do that?"Just who are you?" Royce demanded. Royce finally realized what was happening. He crawled back up as he held his face, stopping his bodyguards that were going to attack. While he was used to being arrogant, he had learned from his experience in Country A. He knew that no matter how prideful he was, someone would always try to use him as a stepping stone.Someone like that… It was either a madman or a scion with a powerful background.No matter how Royce loo
"Do you think your own sister won't abandon you?" Royce said sadistically as he attempted to provoke Xynthia. "My dear Xynthia, that's not 15 dollars—that's 150 million dollars! A lot of people are willing to sell their countries and families for that much. All I'm asking them is to give you up to me…and that's nothing."I've watched so many things like this happen in the past years. If you ask me, you should just give up. I'm someone with limited patience. Once I've lost interest in you, I'll simply throw you out of the stage. And then, you'll know what awaits you after that…" Royce leaned over toward Xynthia and extended his right hand, wanting to raise her chin."No! Don't touch me!" Xynthia yelled with a dark expression. "My sister will definitely send the money! Do you think I don't know what my sister is like?""What deep sisterly love!" Royce said as he clapped. "Fine—seeing how deep your love for your sister is, I'll give you ten minutes. But remember! If your sister isn't
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
