“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
Arlet Pagan’s face was flushed completely after hearing Harvey York’s words.She instinctively stepped back, as if Harvey did something to her.“I’ll give you fifteen million dollars, a sports car, and a villa!“I want the bet to end in exchange! How does that sound!”Harvey just smiled without saying a word.“What? Do you think that’s not enough?”Arlet let out a scoff. She looked disdainful, thinking that Harvey was just a greedy man.“Fine! I’ll double the money!”“Well…“Thirty million dollars isn’t that much to me anyway. I can get that amount of money in a blink of an eye.“Even your entire family’s worth of assets is just pocket change to me.“What I’m interested in is the mysterious lady of the Pagan family to bring me tea and mop my floors! Now that would be more gratifying!“Money can’t even buy that sort of happiness!”“Seventy million!”Arlet’s face was a lot redder than before.She gritted her teeth before giving a price that she thought Harvey would never b
“I’m calling the cops!“I want your reputation tarnished!Arlet Pagan kept struggling, but Harvey York’s body got closer to hers the more she did. Because of this, she became a lot more panicked.“Let me go, you pervert! Let me go right now!” screamed Arlet in anger.Harvey slapped Arlet’s butt a few more times before letting her go with a smile.“Remember. This is your punishment for going against your master.“Don’t think you get to show off in front of me just because you belong to one of the Hermit Families.“I’ll slap you as many times as I want if you disobey me!”Arlet covered her swollen rear with a bright red face.“You punk!”She felt extremely resentful, but an odd feeling surfaced in her heart.She wanted to hate Harvey but could not bring herself to do it.“What’s the matter?Harvey instinctively looked at Arlet’s butt.“You want another few slaps or what?”Arlet quickly stepped back with one of her teeth almost broken from all that gritting.“Punk! B*stard
