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
Arlet Pagan already called Harvey York by the title…But when Kairi Patel was just about to take him away, the Pagan family’s butler still respectfully gave him a fifteen million dollar check.After all, the Pagan family was doing antique business.Without Wes Pagan’s keen eye, the family’s business would instantly plummet.Before there was a next true successor, Wes’ life was essential.Harvey basically saved the entire family by helping Wes deal with his problem.The family had to thank him no matter what.Harvey did not care about the money, but he still kept it anyway.Then, he sat in Kairi’s Ferrari before leaving the Pagan family’s residence.Harvey curiously looked at the goddess of a woman beside him while on the road.“Anyway, how did you know I could save Mr. Pagan?”Kairi smiled faintly as she stepped on the gas.“I know the mirror and the bead probably came from the same place.“Since you dealt with Kellan Ruiz’s problem, then it’d be easy for you to deal with
Harvey York smiled.“What sort of advice?”“Since ancient times, immortality has been in tandem with geomancy arts.“If you want Evermore to notice you, if you wish to lure them out or gather evidence, it’d be best if you become a well-known geomancy expert.“I suggest you open up shop here.“On the one hand, you can remain discreet while you do your business.“On the other hand, Evermore might just show up on their own.“More importantly, many strange things happen in a city with rich history like this.“A well-known geomancy expert can gather a lot of connections here. It should be a good thing for you here, right?”Harvey thought about the situation before lightly nodding.“You have a good point. As expected from the lady of the Patel family.“Being a geomancy expert would be an interesting job.“That said, I’m not good at geomancy, and I’m not even certified either.”Kairi Patel smiled.“If you’re interested, as your partner, I’ll make sure to deal with all this for y
“How shameful can you get?!“Is the Zimmer family not caring for you enough or something?!“How dare you even try to steal Mandy Zimmer’s money?!“What are you even planning to do with it? Take care of your little mistress?”Alma John’s words were filled with utter disgust. She believed that Harvey York was no better than a lowly beggar or a common thief.All the workers and customers were constantly nodding their heads in unison, thinking that the live-in son-in-law had truly crossed the line.“Are you done?Harvey showed a calm expression.“Step aside when you’re done! Stop interfering with my business!”If Alma were not a woman, Harvey would have slapped her aside by then.“Let me warn you, you kept man!“I’m giving you three days!“By then, you better leave Mandy!“If you’re still getting about getting remarried…“Then I suggest you give up that thought right now!“You have no right to defile a woman like her!Alma was showing an arrogant look while she bossed Harve
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
