“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.
Early in the following morning,Harvey got up from a bad sleep and was dragged into the car by Mandy.She started complaining about Harvey as soon as the two got in.They had already talked about Gabriel treating the family to a meal the day before…And yet, Harvey still got up so late.Harvey got more information about the situation after getting inside the car.Gabriel got lucky enough to be in charge of a multi-million-dollar project. Safe to say, his status rose because of this.His sister, Baylor Lee, had been doing extremely well in her work as well. Safe to say, this was a huge blessing to his family.Lilian and Simon wanted to go as well, but they asked Mandy to go in their stead since they had things to attend to.After hearing that Mandy was coming, Gabriel wanted Harvey to join as well, with the excuse that he wanted to give Harvey guidance.Harvey, however, knew full well that Gabriel wasn’t that kind-hearted.But he didn’t care. Since Mandy insisted, he didn’t min
“Of course, this all wouldn’t be possible without everyone sitting here!”“My husband and I are hosting this event specifically to thank you all.”The father had a righteous look on his face as he stood up.“Please eat your fill today, everyone!” he exclaimed after laughing loudly.“Just say the word if you need anything!”“We have as many 1982 Rieslings as you want!”Gabriel stood up pridefully as well.“Father, Mother! Everyone!”“Thank you all for coming for my sake!”“I will not forget this for the rest of my life!”“Here’s a toast!”He casually chugged a glass of alcohol down.“You and Baylor are so talented! Don’t forget about us when you two get stinking rich!”“Right! It’s impressive to have such amazing achievements at such a young age!”“An ordinary person wouldn’t be able to get a project from Evergreen Capital Group, after all!”“The Eclipse Studios is being backed up by the Patel family as well. Baylor’s impressive to get along with them!”“What outstanding
Mandy Zimmer’s expression changed slightly. She was about to speak up before Harvey York stopped her.He came here to see what Gabriel Lee had prepared for him anyway.It would be quite rude to stop him when the show just started.Gabriel’s parents looked over with disdainful glares.‘This is the live-in son-in-law who’s been ruining everything!‘My son would’ve gotten a second wife if it wasn’t for him! The Zimmer family’s assets would’ve been his too!“Oh? Isn’t this the legendary live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family?“He seems pretty normal to me! Maybe he’s actually dumb or something!”“If that weren’t the case, he wouldn’t have bought some radish just to give it to his in-laws!”“How dare he claim that Gabriel’s gift is fake?!“Who does he think he is?!“Narcissist! Filth!”Obviously, Gabriel had already boasted about the entire situation just to fan the flames even harder.Avery Foster clearly would not bother to clarify the incident since she was on Gabriel’s sid
Avery Foster showed a playful smile.“You should be thanking your brother-in-law by now.“You wouldn’t be able to get a job without his help.”Harvey York cracked a smile.“Do you really want me to lift bricks for you? Are you sure you won’t regret your decision?”“Do you think you can just disrespect him like that? You…”Right as Avery was about to speak up…Along with the sound of a loud bang, the door was instantly kicked open.The cup in Harvey’s hand shook before he squinted toward the direction.A few fierce-looking men in shirts strode inside.A man with long hair biting on a cigar was leading the group.“Everybody out! We’re taking the box!” he coldly exclaimed, squinting at the Lee family.Gabriel Lee was at his peak. He would not allow himself to bear such disrespect at this moment.He slammed the table while his entire body reeked of alcohol.“What are you saying?! We’re not even done eating here!”“The chairman of the Evergreen Capital Group is coming here! A
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
