“What’s the point of apologizing to me?”Kellan smiled faintly and glanced at Harvey.“Sir York here will decide if he’s going to forgive you.”“Sir York?”“Harvey York?”Cliff clearly understood the situation. When he saw the perpetrator casually sitting while sipping his tea, his gaze turned fierce and he recalled his son screaming in pain in the hospital’s emergency room.Despite that, he was quite an experienced man and quickly forced out a smile.“Sir York, please forgive us! We were ignorant!”“Please be the better person and let us go.”“We’ll give you a fair statement about this entire situation!”Cliff kept bowing as he spoke—he didn’t seem like the chairman of a billion-dollar company at all.He quickly took out a check before respectfully setting it in front of Harvey.There were seven whole numbers written on it—it was 1.5 million dollars!Seeing the check, Zarla’s eyes turned cold.If it wasn’t for Kellan, she would’ve slapped Harvey in the face already.Eve
Harvey pondered about the situation for a moment.“Show me your knife.”At that, Kellan set his knife respectfully in front of Harvey.It was the same old knife he had with him for the longest time, but not a single speck of dust could be seen on it.Harvey frowned.“Did you clean it up?”Zarla chuckled coldly after seeing Harvey’s stern look; he looked as if he was convinced everything he said was right.“I didn’t want the cops to ask about it. That was why I cleaned it up…” Kellan said in a shaky voice.“You idiot!”Harvey sighed.“I told you to bring the knife with you to calm the evil energy in your body, maybe even dissipate it bit by bit.”“It’s completely useless now that you’ve cleaned it up.”“Another thing. If I’m guessing correctly, you saw someone die before your eyes just yesterday, didn’t you?”Kellan and his subordinates shivered after hearing Harvey’s words. They were so startled, the glass in their hand dropped.They stared at Harvey; they couldn’t believ
Zarla couldn’t hold back any longer after hearing Harvey’s words.She chuckled, and then looked at Harvey with a mocking expression.“The Haunt?”“Evil energy?”“What on earth are you saying?”“At first, we didn’t want to expose you for CEO Ruiz’s sake, Harvey!”“And then, what? You have no boundaries when it comes to showing off!”“You’re still saying things like that in this day and age? People will think you’re insane!”“I’ve looked into you too! You’re just a live-in son-in-law who got kicked out of his family!”“You’re nothing impressive at all!”“Surely you don’t know any geomancy arts of the sort!”“Heh, heh!”“CEO Ruiz won’t expose you, but I won’t give you any chances to fool him!”Zarla looked at Kellan with a righteous expression.“It’s not that I wish to disrespect you, CEO Ruiz. It’s not my intention to use the opportunity to go against Harvey, either,” she said with a coy tone.“I’m just an honest person. I never liked people who put up a front!”“You can’
“What?!”Cliff and Zarla gasped in shock when they saw Kellan’s chest.‘How is this possible?’Their expressions worsened in an instant.They knew that with Kellan’s attitude, he wouldn’t simply expose such a secret to Harvey!‘Maybe he is pretty capable after all…’Kellan had no intention to settle scores with the couple at all; he was filled with anxiety as he looked at Harvey.“This is it, Sir York! Why doesn’t it feel like anything?”“At first, I thought this was just some STD!”“It’d be better if it was that.”Harvey narrowed his eyes.“You’d be six feet under when they all converge at the same spot.”Kellan was confused.“So I’ve been experiencing all that for the past few days because of this?”“Your luck has been sucked dry because of The Haunt,” Harvey replied.“When it’s all empty, we’ll be having your funeral soon enough.”“Aaah!”Kellan jumped in fear after hearing Harvey’s words.He instinctively tried to wipe The Haunt off his body, but to no avail.Zar
“I really don’t have any medical skills, but I do know how to kill people,” Harvey replied calmly.“Do you want to try that?”“I can end your life with just a single needle.”Kellan trembled, then forced out a smile.“You’re funny, Sir York!”“I’m still waiting for you to save me…”Harvey couldn’t be bothered to spout any more nonsense. He quickly poked a hole in his finger and put a drop of his blood on Kellan’s forehead, heart, and around the red dots on the latter’s chest.Soon after, The Haunt started to dissipate…“It’s gone! It’s really gone!”Kellan’s subordinates could clearly tell that the red dots were slowly fading before vanishing completely.Kellan didn’t know what Harvey was doing at first…However, he could feel his body being unshackled; he felt extremely refreshed.Cliff was completely shocked by the sight.He thought Harvey was just putting up a front, so he never expected that it was him who was being narrow-minded.“This is impressive, Sir York!”“You
Cliff’s eyes twitched slightly.“How did you know all this?”“Huh?”Zarla froze.She knew her husband would never go back to visit his ancestors’ graves, but she didn’t know that it was because of this.“It’s simple. You’re a strong man, but that’s all there is to it. I can’t sense your ancestors’ luck protecting you.”“If it wasn’t for your strong will, you would’ve died quite a few times already.”“Think about this. You’ve gone through a lot of near-death situations ever since your son was born, haven't you?”Cliff was in shock after hearing Harvey’s words.“You really are impressive! No wonder CEO Ruiz looks up to you that much,” Cliff exclaimed.“You’re right. I’ve escaped death quite a few times already! I was heavily injured every single time, but I managed to survive.”“That said, doesn’t this mean that I’m just lucky?”“Those who survive a catastrophe will have good fortune, no?”Harvey smiled faintly in response.“I don’t know about that, but…”“I do know that t
At nine o’clock in the evening, Harvey left the San Francisco Clubhouse after having his meal. Then, he headed back to the Zimmer family’s villa.After working for an entire day, he didn’t want to bump into Lilian and have another big fight with her. Thus, he returned to his room as quietly as possible.But before he could open the door, he heard a gasp coming from Mandy’s room.Surprised, Harvey pushed the door to see what happened inside.Immediately, a refreshing scent wafted over.Mandy must’ve just gotten out of the shower. A towel as white as snow covered only the important parts of her body, revealing a pair of slender legs. Harvey’s eyes twitched at the sight.He had seen quite a lot of beautiful women, and every single one of them was unique in their own way…Yet, Mandy was still the only one who could make his heart skip a beat.He could feel his breath getting hotter at this very moment.He quickly calmed himself down and quickly looked away.“You’re back.”Mandy
Harvey sent her a small smile.“It’s fine. I saved his life, so he’s the one who owes me.”Harvey then changed the subject quickly.“Right, why is there a problem with your branch’s funds now?”“Why didn’t you tell me that in the first place?”Harvey basically understood the situation.The ninth branch had no problems with its funds…However, Mandy’s rise had been quite dissatisfactory for the elders of the Jean family. They had been quietly pulling the strings in the family, and transferred the ninth branch’s funds away.The branch had been suffering quite a bit after that.Mandy tried her best to fix everything, but there was still no way to balance everything out.After she came to the Golden Sands to pick up the Jean family’s mess, the situation became a lot more pressuring than it should’ve been.Mandy had been attending events all over the place; she even gave the bank double the interest, but she still couldn’t manage to cough up three hundred million dollars in time.
