“A few weeks at most?Arlet Pagan froze before she burst out in anger.“You b*stard! Not only are you completely talentless, you even dare to curse my grandfather?!“You’re heinous!“You’re inhuman!“Get out! Get out right now!“Stop trying to put up a front here anymore!“I would’ve broken your legs myself if it weren’t for Kairi’s sake!”Obviously, Harvey York’s warning completely enraged Arlet.Vroom!The sound of a loud engine could be heard before a yellow Toyota Alphard stopped outside.A few young people hopped out of the car with antique-looking boxes in their hands.Soon after, an elderly man walked out.He was wearing a robe with a sage-like aura surrounding him. It was clear that he was a geomancy expert.Harvey looked curious before he recognized that face.The man was none other than the Golden Sands’ top geomancy expert.“You’re finally here, Grandpa Foster!Arlet walked out with an exhilarated look on her face.“You came at the perfect time! Our family
“What?!”Arlet Pagan was completely shocked about her grandfather’s condition, but she was more surprised that Harvey York’s deductions were spot on.Rodney Foster’s words were identical to his.Wes Pagan showed an odd expression when he looked at Harvey. He did not expect that Harvey was actually quite capable.Kairi Patel showed a profound look on her face.She had always believed in Harvey’s abilities. That was why she brought him here in the first place.As expected, he lived up to her expectations.Wes looked at Harvey before shifting his gaze toward Rodney.“We’ve known each other for many years, Rodney.“Just do your thing. See if you can cure me.”“I’ll be honest with you, Wes. The source of evil energy is right inside your body. The only way to save you is to get rid of that source,” replied Rodney sternly.“That said, I need to tell you something.“This procedure will be very risky.“If we’re not careful, the evil energy inside you will break out, killing you ins
“Is that so?Rodney Foster scoffed after hearing Harvey York’s words.“It’s not that I want to disrespect you, kid!“Where did you get the confidence even to say that?“Come! Tell me where you learn so I can gauge your abilities!“To be honest, even if you get Master Ziegler here, the odds will still be the same!”Harvey glanced at Wes Pagan’s head. The evil energy on him seemed like it was about to materialize. The torment he had been feeling each day must have been difficult for him.Sleepless nights were probably the least of his worries.If he did manage to fall asleep, he would be woken up by nightmares anyway.At this point, he could only last for weeks at most.Without a second thought, Harvey felt pity.Harvey shifted his gaze toward Rodney.“I’m not a geomancy expert. I didn’t learn this from a so-called master.”Rodney froze before he coldly chuckled.“And yet you’re still this confident?”“I do know the art of killing though,” replied Harvey.“For example, yo
“The so-called art of killing has many forms,” replied Harvey York immediately.“Martial arts can kill.“So can poison.“Medical skills are no different.“Geomancy arts are naturally in the same ballpark.“For example, I can discern exactly where the sources of evil energy are around Mr. Pagan’s body.“When I destroy them as soon as possible…“Then, his life will be saved.”“You know where they all are?Rodney Foster froze. He clearly did not believe Harvey’s words.He used quite a lot of instruments to figure this out, but there were still more than five different suspected sources.‘He can tell where all the sources are with just a single glance?‘How is this even possible?’“If I guess correctly, the sources you suspected are the bead in front of his chest, the diamond ring on his left finger, his coronary stent, his fake tooth, and the nail in his left leg.“Am I wrong?”Rodney was utterly shocked.“You really are impressive, Harvey!“I spent so much time trying to
“How dare you, Harvey York?!” Arlet Pagan’s expression changed.“What? So you’re calling me a con man, yet you’re scared of making a little bet?” replied Harvey.“Either way, this is a win-win situation for you, right?“You can make a joke out of me and prove that you’re correct if you win.“All you need to do is to be my maid for three whole years if you lose in exchange for your grandfather’s life.”Naturally, Harvey was prepared to humble Arlet a bit.After all, he felt a little annoyed for being called a con man constantly.Arlet gritted her teeth after seeing Harvey’s stern look on his face.“Fine! It’s a deal!“Grandpa Foster and Kairi Patel will testify for this!“If I lose, I’ll be your maid!”“Good!Harvey wasted no time after confirming the bet.He stepped forward. Under everyone’s shocked gaze, he ripped the bead off of Wes Pagan’s chest.Then, he smiled faintly in front of Arlet.“Get ready to call me ‘Master’!”Harvey took a few steps backward before clen
Harvey York squinted at the bead on the ground before showing a smile on his face.“If I guess correctly, you got the bead because of your lack of sleep, right?”“That’s right. Previously, I had very poor sleep. On average, I could only get a good night’s rest every three days.“An expert told me that this happened because of the family’s business of appraising antiques.“After coming in contact with all sorts of relics, my body would absorb some of the evil energy, negatively affecting my sleep.“That was why the expert recommended me to find something holy to keep myself safe, but I didn’t expect…”Wes Pagan showed a bizarre expression on his face.The expert was quite a well-renowned figure in the country, but he did not expect that he would almost get himself killed because of him.“The expert’s right. Part of the evil energy inside you was because of all the antiques you touched before.“That said, every single one of your problems right now points toward the bead!”Then
After hearing Harvey York’s words and seeing him deal with such a complex problem with ease, Wes Pagan was utterly impressed.He held his hands together when he said, “Thank you for everything, Sir York!“You’re my savior!“Just ask away if there’s anything you need!”Harvey cracked a smile.“I don’t need anything. Just make sure that Arlet goes through with her end of the bargain.”Then, Harvey hooked his finger in front of Arlet Pagan.“Come on! Start calling me ‘Master’!”Arlet’s face flushed bright red.Her eyes twitched briefly. She had no choice but to run away since she could not bear to say it.The crowd smiled while looking at each other. It was quite the feat to make the proud lady of the family run away in shame.Then, Harvey got the family to send Wes to recuperate.Harvey then walked around the manor under the butler’s guidance to remove some of the antiques.It would be best if he thoroughly helped the family anyway.He wanted to make sure that nothing else
“Of course, you’re not obliged if you don’t want to.“I was being too presumptuous after all.Rodney Foster showed an awkward. He felt extremely apologetic.“I was too hasty. I didn’t think that this might be a secret art handed down to you in the first place. Please forgive me.”Harvey York smiled.“There’s no need for formalities, Mr. Foster.“If you’re really interested, I can teach you free of charge.”“Free of charge?Rodney froze.“To me?”He could not believe what he just heard. Harvey’s geomancy arts looked simple, but it was clear that he only made it so because he was proficient at it.Millions of dollars would not even be enough to buy such a skill!If Harvey wanted to, Rodney would be willing to trade anything with him…But instead, he decided to give such invaluable knowledge away for free.Rodney could not even snap out of his disbelief at that moment.“Of course, it’s free. I wasn’t a geomancy expert, to begin with. I just dabbled in the profession because
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
"All of us were ready to commit suicide for the 50 million A dollars!""We even sold out our country, meaning we could never return to the Island Nations!""You either give us all the money back, or we'll never stop hounding you for it!" All the Islanders were extremely furious.In truth, the Islanders who were paragons of unity and love were ordinary people in the end and could be swayed by profit. Without the money, they wouldn't have given such a performance.Linus couldn't help but shudder when he saw all the Islanders looking at him with murderous intent, as if a pack of wolves were glaring at him, with the intent to kill. "Stop making such wild accusations!" he cried. "While I really did pay to tell you to work, all I did was give you 10,000 dollars! And that's not A dollars, but H dollars. As for paying all of you 50 million dollars per person… Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm willing to pay so much just so you'll frame Yvonne? Why don't you consider if you're w
The phones of all the Islanders who were willing to commit suicide started to vibrate. All the Islanders who were in their righteous fury took out their phones. When they saw the content on the screen, they roared—they were so angry that they almost went mad.They instantly got up from the ground, their eyes bloodshot. All of them glared at Linus, as if wanting to tear him apart. The reporters and spectators were a little shocked, and instinctively took a few steps back. It was obvious that they felt a murderous intent.Before anyone could react, Nomura waved his hand. All the Islanders surrounded Linus and his men. Linus frowned slightly. "What do you all want?""Fools!" Nomura immediately aimed his longsword at Linus. "Don't you people from Country A call yourself a civilized world? That obeying the contract is important to you? Why did you suddenly break the contract when we've done everything you asked us to do?"The other Islanders all looked at Linus with a murderous expres
Linus wore a victor's smile. The reason he looked for Tojo Nomura earlier was to accuse Yvonne and the Xavier family on the spot, to make sure they would be accused of being traitors.He didn't expect a little money to be enough to make them act. Good, good. All he could say was that no matter how powerful or barbaric the Islanders were, they were nothing before the great people of country A. Not to mention, he had already given them their rewards. Even if he didn't, the Islanders still had to act as he ordered.Yvonne frowned. Of course, she knew that nothing the Islanders said was true—merely defamation. The problem was that she couldn't understand why someone like Nomura, who was a disciple of Shinto Way, had to make up such lies.The moment that thought crossed her mind, Yvonne looked coldly at Linus and said, "Just how much did you give them to the point they're willing to sell their country?""Tsk! You think that's enough to scare me?" Linus smiled wryly. "Everybody knows h
Very quickly, many Islanders ran to the stage. All of them were wearing the Islanders' traditional summer garb. The way they stood and the way they lifted their beard made them easily identifiable as Islanders.According to how unified Islanders were, everything they said would most likely be true.When Linus saw what was happening, sat down and folded his legs. His sexy secretary helped him light up a cigar. He took a deep breath, then looked at the unfolding scene with interest.Very quickly, the Islander leading the men took a step forward and said angrily, "Everyone! I'm Shinto Way's disciple, Tojo Nomura. I'm also the leader of the disciples still in Country H. "A few days ago, the Xaviers of Wolsing requested a marriage with our Young Master, Shingen. They have also signed a lot of contracts with us. Some of them include how Shinto Way will transfer the shares of our assets in Country H to them, while they will have to transfer ownership of their business on the Island Natio
When Yvonne saw Linus pulling out things they shouldn't and even giving them to the reporters, she instantly realized that he cared little about the consequences anymore.What he did was to ensure the Xaviers were blamed for everything. Even if he gained nothing from it, he still wanted to do it just so the Xaviers would have a hard time in Country H. He even wanted to use this to make both Country H and the Island Nation to force them to publicly deal with Shingen's death.Harvey, who caused all of this, would be in a lot of trouble. Yvonne looked at Linus coldly. "Linus, you know that taking things out of context and making up stories won't be beneficial to you. Where's your conscience?""Conscience? What's that?" Linus said with an exaggerated expression. "I'm not the one who killed Shingen. It's you Xaviers of Wolsing and the prospective son-in-law you wanted. Are you afraid others will find out? I'm just someone who knew the truth with a righteous heart!"I can't bear to see
The faces of Yvonne and the others from the Xaviers all shifted a little. It was obvious they didn't expect an Islander to appear. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at all of this coldly.Journi, who was a little bit surprised, turned to Harvey subconsciously. "What's going on?""We're simply giving the full package. The most difficult part of all of this was to explain why the Islanders would give up. Rather than waiting for others to expose the truth, why don't we give everyone the truth?" Harvey said calmly."What do you mean?" Journi said with a frown. "Simple. While these people are Islanders, they'll work for money. In this situation, the words of an Islander are more effective than the words of a hundred people from Country H…"Journi was curious about what Harvey wanted to do, but then some of the reporters realized what was happening. "Are these allegations from the Islanders true? Did you really assassinate Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, who wanted to improve the relationship
