Allen Olford quickly came to his senses and crawled toward Harvey York before he started groveling right in front of him.“I’m sorry, Governor York! I was just ignorant! I didn’t know anything!“Please be the bigger person and let me go! Just pretend that I was clowning around!Then, Allen kept slapping himself around nonstop.“Please! Give me a chance!”All of his trusted subordinates slammed their knees to the ground in fear after seeing the sight.They all also have heard of Harvey’s great achievements.Soon, a whole group of people was kneeling with their backs straight in front of Harvey’s store.Noemi Moreno and the others were completely stunned when their eyes were frantically twitching.They could not understand why Allen was just about to teach Harvey a lesson a minute ago…And then he was acting like a scared cat right after that.‘Are you kidding me?!’‘Isn’t Harvey just a country bumpkin?!’‘Does he have another identity?!’‘How did he manage to get Allen to
Grandma Cobb looked as if she had been dead for three whole days.Then, Gordon Moreno stepped up while laughing heartily.“Congratulations on your opening, Harvey York!“Here’s a gift on behalf of the South Sea Marital Arts Alliance! I hope you like it!”Gordon then waved his hand before a few disciples of the organization brought over a plaque.The plaque had four words written on it.“Cobb family’s Silver Elixir!”Other than that, the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance’s signature was also left under the plaque.Without any promises or orders…It was clear that the organization was planning to buy all of its ointments from Harvey!More importantly, with the plaque here, nobody would dare go against Harvey, even if the business were to expand in the city.At this point, the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance was clearly on his side!The benefits were endless!“What?!”Noemi Moreno and the others understood that fact.When they saw the sight, they could not help but stumble on
“Harvey York…”Ellen Moreno was completely stunned when she stared at the man she had never once looked up to…An unbelievable thought came to her mind.Eden Cobb was one of the most well-known young masters in the city, but if he wanted all of those prominent figures to respect him and earn the plaque…It would be challenging, to say the least.Even if he actually could, he would need at least decades to do so!And with Eden’s capabilities, he would never be able to accomplish something like this!Unless he became a God of War, of course…But how was he going to do that when he could barely even fight?What a joke!Ellen was filled with despair and regret after realizing all this.“Harvey’s the true prominent figure here, after all.“He’s so strong that the three great families are just jokes to him.“He doesn’t care about anything. He doesn’t get mad not because he’s weak and powerless…“He’s acting this way because nothing truly matters in his eyes!“I thought he was
What a total shame. Grandma Cobb chased Katy Cobb out of the family to let Eden Cobb rise to power. In return, she threw away their best opportunity for the family to prosper.The future of the family was gone. They managed to offend an unimaginably powerful character in the process.Everyone instinctively glared at Grandma Cobb, full of hatred and disdain.They wanted to know just how she was going to deal with the situation.Grandma Cobb furiously held her cane as she gritted her teeth.She knew full well that there was no way out of the situation anymore.Safe to say that the family had no choice but to endure the humiliation while Harvey York and Katy basked in glory.She wanted to become a God of War herself and slap Harvey to the ground so badly.“Grandma Cobb…Katy casually walked out from behind Harvey.“Are you regretting your decisions now?”Grandma Cobb’s eyes frantically twitched. She was getting hysterical, as if this was the last straw.“Who are you calling th
‘Sided with justice?’‘Do what’s right?’The Cobb family was on the verge of coughing out blood after hearing those words.‘You lying sack of sh*t!’Before the Cobb family even said another word, Gael Padlow immediately spoke up with a righteous look.“You people are shameless, hoping to quietly move all of Katy’s assets away after I sue her!“But a just man like me would never stand with you scoundrels!“I agreed to work with you people. I even made you believe that I was actually beaten up by Sir York!“You fell right into my trap, and that was when I stopped suing Katy and returned her assets where they belonged!“The procedures were all prepared soon after that!”Harvey showed an odd look when he glanced at Gael.Actually, he begged to be Harvey’s subordinate, yet he acted all high and mighty about the entire situation.As expected from a true talent…Harvey could not be bothered to expose him, though. He was fine with it as long as it had the same effect.Grandma Cob
Without question, Grandma Cobb was getting extremely desperate.The things she should not have said were all flooding right out of her mouth.‘He has no power yet wants the family to crumble?‘What a joke!’In her brilliant mind, a God of War, let alone some random stranger, meant nothing to her.Noemi and Ellen Moreno felt relieved after hearing Grandma Cobb’s words.After all, Harvey York had no way to crush the Cobb family, no matter how powerful he was.The Cobb family was still one of the three great families!The Cobb family was still in Grandma Cobb’s total control!The Cobb family’s next successor was still destined to be Eden Cobb!So what if they were being disrespected at this moment?The only thing that mattered was the assets!“Is that so?Harvey showed a faint smile before snapping his fingers.“Looks like you were right after all, Elder Cobb.“The person who poisoned you has been the one you held most dear!”An exhausted voice could be heard from inside t
“Leave!”Before Harvey could do anything, Katy wiped the tears off her face and slapped Valery aside.“Step aside! You’re embarrassing everyone here!”“How dare you hit me?!”“What right do you have to do that?”Valery was boiling with anger; she marched forward to retaliate, but Katy slapped her again. The others wanted to help, but they were all frightened by Dean’s gaze. Thus, they had no choice but to stand there and watch.Dean was a God of War; though he had been crippled for many years, his fierce aura could still be felt clearly.If it weren’t for Grandma Cobb’s schemes and Julio’s challenge, he would still be the head of the Cobb family.“Enough!” Grandma Cobb yelled after seeing Valery daring to embarrass herself again.“Stop embarrassing yourself! Get back here already!”“Impressive, you old b*stard!”“I’ll remember you as well, Harvey!” Grandma Cobb exclaimed vengefully.“That said, do you think you can ruin my reputation like this? Do you think you can make m
“Grandma Cobb!”Eden and the others quickly rushed forward, panicking.“Are you alright?!”Valery and the rest glared at Harvey, and screamed at him.“You’re completely heartless, Harvey!”“We’ve been letting you off the hook even though you kept causing us trouble!”“I didn’t think you’d be this ungrateful and do such a thing to Grandma Cobb!”“You b*stard!”Harvey was unperturbed by Valery and the others’ baseless accusations.“I’m giving you one day,” he said.“If Katy doesn’t have authority over the family within that time…”“If Eden and Valery’s legs aren’t broken by then…”“The Cobb family will fall!”Upon hearing Harvey’s casual tone, Grandma Cobb could only see darkness.She held her chest, her face a wretched expression.“How dare you, you b*stard?!”“Dean! How dare you work with an outsider against your own wife?”Harvey smiled calmly.Dean, meanwhile, revealed no emotion.“You can’t do this, Harvey!” Ellen exclaimed instinctively.“Don’t you understand th
"That's enough, Veronica!" Marlee's face hardened. "No matter how good Master Eridan is, that's not a reason to treat Master Harvey like this. Not only did he heal Grandma in the first place, but we also have to respect him because he's willing to come to our family this time. We…""Enough!" Reginald was getting slightly annoyed, so he immediately made the decision. "It looks like I have no say in this despite being your grandfather, Marlee? Since you have so much to talk about, you can leave too. Otherwise, you'll take full responsibility if your grandmother's rest is interrupted!"Someone like Reginald knew how to humiliate someone without even pointing his finger at them. While he was scolding Marlee, he was actually humiliating Harvey. Since someone of his age hated the youths, who were so energetic and thought highly of their capabilities.Perhaps he did have some talent, but how could his talents compare to a true expert? It was as if he was the only one who could deal with th
"How dare you!" Eridan bellowed, his body shaking with anger. "You have a sharp tongue and like to make things up! I'm willing to bet on the reputation of the School of Astrologers that she will be fine for six days and nights!"I will use the Cleansing Technique in the arts of Geomancy to cleanse the evil spirits within her one more time. Then, I will slightly change the configuration before demolishing that mountain shrine! Everything will be solved then!"Then, Eridan pointed his finger at Harvey's face and said, "Stop criticizing my expertise when you do nothing, boy!""That's right. Stop being so proud over nothing," Veronica said to Harvey, having no liking for him at all. "Don't think I don't know just what kind of personality plebeians like you have. Do you think you can do anything you want, and will your status rise once you're acquainted with my family?"In the end, you're just making nonsense that won't be able to solve the problem and make it even worse. Only a piece o
"I'm willing to swear upon my School's name, Ms. Marlee, that I’m the only one who has the power to help the Judds of Wolsing," vowed Eridan with a puff at Marlee."Of course, if someone within your family doesn't trust me, it's fine. Have someone else deal with this, and I shall immediately take my leave. From now on, our school will never step into the Judd family residence, so you better think twice!" said Eridan coldly.It was apparent to all that Eridan was forcing the Judds of Wolsing to make a choice. If there were anyone who believed in Harvey, he would leave. The School of Astronomers had its pride to consider! His reputation as the best Geomancer in Wolsing was not something that was made up either. Whoever dared to question him was to challenge his entire school."Tell your daughter to leave with that charlatan!" Reginald stared at Veer without letting Veer have a chance to say anything. "Otherwise, everything will be too late if Master Eridan leaves because of his bad mo
"Don't worry. Once I'm done here, naturally, I will visit the mountains behind your residence. Once I've settled everything, all of you will be fine as well," Eridan spoke wisely to those from the Judd family.Reginald smiled and nodded. "While I am no longer the leader of the Judds of Wolsing, I can promise you that you will be the Judd family VIP if you can help us settle these problems. We will give you everything you want, whether money, prestige or something else!"Reginald knew how big the issue was. If Eridan could help them stop the looming danger, then whatever price they paid was worth it.Veer noticed how relaxed Eridan was, and he said nothing. Then, he even gave Marlee a look and told her not to say anything. Marlee upsettingly bit her lip, but in the end, she said nothing.Veronica smiled when she looked at Veer and Marlee, who had both taken a step back. "Father, Veer, don't you worry. With Master Eridan's help, I'm sure our family will be as prosperous as ever. Also
Originally, Veer had more faith in Harvey. But seeing that Eridan was already here and had helped deal with the problem, he had to show the geomancer some respect no matter what because he was the family leader. Especially when it was something huge like this when everyone within the Judd family who was of age would have half their body become numb. If they all fell, the Judd family would be halfway ruined.When Eridan noticed Veer, who had been so serious before, was forced to smile, Eridan smiled back at him and said, "You're welcome. Your father and I are old acquaintances, and I've come to change this place's configuration. However, now that your mother has become ill, everyone is saying that it's because of my insufficient skills."That is why I have to come to your residence one more time, whether out of my own accord or the Judd family. However, it's a little late to say this, so I think I should reveal everything so that you won't have any misunderstandings toward me!" Eri
When Marlee heard what Veronica had to say, Marlee snorted. "If that Master Eridan is really as good as you claimed, none of this would have happened at all."After hearing that, Reginald's expression turned dark before Veronica could even reply. "Marlee, there are some things that you can't just make offhand comments about. Master Eridan and his school served the royal court for centuries since the 12th century. Even when it was during the Braided Dynasty and the modern era, they still possess incredibly high status."Usual families wouldn't even be able to ask for their assistance. How can you be so ungrateful and talk behind his back after he was willing to help us a second time? I will let it pass this time, but if there's a second time, you'll be punished for this, understand?"When Veronica heard what Reginald had to say, she nodded, full of pride. "That's right. Someone like you shouldn't be questioning Master Eridan. What do you know? I'm your aunt, and I have much more expe
"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
