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
Normally speaking, a live-in son-in-law would not have that much money in the first place.Let alone a Black Card.‘What a joke!’A few beautiful staff were showing disdainful grins.‘It’s already bad enough for a man to be kept like this, yet he even stole his wife’s money to make a Black Card!’‘Not only is he embarrassing himself, but he’s also completely immoral!’‘People like that should be drowned!’Harvey York started to frown.“This is my money.”“Your money?Alma John let out a cold chuckle.“You’re just a kept man who clung to Mandy because you couldn’t fend for yourself! You could never have this much money in the first place!“You definitely stole the Zimmer family’s money!“This is illegal! It’s unforgivable!Then, Alma gave Mandy Zimmer a call.“Come here quick, Mandy! This is really bad!”Obviously, she wanted to use this opportunity to kick Harvey out of Mandy’s life.That way, her brother would be able to claim her all for himself.“Now you’re just be
Alma John did not expect that Harvey York’s card was made that long ago.‘Maybe this live-in son-in-law is really some sort of mysterious prominent character…Alma could not help but shudder after thinking about the situation, but she quickly came to her senses.‘What kind of big character would even become a live-in son-in-law in the first place?‘What a joke!Alma glared at Harvey coldly, as if she got the entire situation figured out.“I get it now! He must’ve stolen all this money from somewhere long ago!“He never touched the money after that!“And now, he’s planning to use all of it after everything died down!“What a heinous filth!Alma showed a disdainful expression on her face.“That said, how are you even this stupid?“Don’t you know that banks will definitely check for the source of the money if you withdraw a large amount from a Black Card?“You’re finished if we find out the money came from a suspicious source!“This amount can get you behind bars for the res
“What?!Alma John froze before showing a horrible look.“You must be mistaken, Mr. Osborne!“Sky Corporation transferred him the money?!“This is impossible!”“What do you mean by that?” exclaimed Mr. Osborne with a cold glare.“Sir York clearly looks like a talented and personable young man! He must be the person Prince York himself looks up to!“It’s perfectly normal for him to get the funds in the first place!”“There’s no way!Alma was starting to panic.“He’s just a live-in son-in-law, a kept man! Why would he even have connections with someone like Prince York himself?!“This is wrong! It has to be!Alma could not accept the fact that Harvey’s Black Card was even real and that the account had so much money.“Make another call, Mr. Osborne! There has to be a mistake!”Mandy Zimmer showed a peculiar expression when she glanced at Harvey. She knew that Harvey had many different identities, but she did not think that he still had something to hide even then.Harvey get
Seeing Mr. Osborne gritting his teeth, Alma knew full well that she wouldn’t be able to survive if she didn’t apologize.“I’m sorry,” she said quietly through gritted teeth.“Are you now?”Harvey smiled faintly at her reaction.“You ridicule and slander me, then you bring my wife here to turn against me.”“You don’t even look sincere when you apologize. Hell, you look as if I owe you millions or something.”“You really think a simple apology is going to solve anything?”Alma frowned, and immediately shot Harvey a cold glare.“At the end of the day, you were the one who borrowed the money!”“You still need to give it back sooner or later!”“You think you’re some hotshot or something?!”“Enough is enough, Harvey!” Alma went on, snarling. “Don’t try to cross the line!”Mandy hesitated.“Let’s just forget about it, Harvey. It’s just a misunderstanding.”“Alma’s part of the John family. It’s better if we don’t cross them.”“The John family?”Harvey smiled.“It doesn’t matte
Seeing Alma jumping around in pride, Harvey could only smile.“Are you sure you won’t eat your words after this?”Mandy’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and she quickly tugged Harvey’s arm.“Forget it, Harvey. Stop this for me. Alma’s my friend.”She then flashed a sincere expression at Alma.“Hear me out, Alma. You should apologize to Harvey and forget about this too, okay?”Naturally, she knew that with Harvey’s methods, it would be all too easy for him to fire Alma.It was a shame Alma considered Mandy’s kindness to be Harvey’s protection.“You want me to apologize to this piece of crap? Are you kidding me?!” Alma coldly exclaimed with a fierce glare.“You want me to apologize?”“I’ll apologize when he’s six feet under!”Following her exclamation, the beautiful workers around all scoffed derisively.They all had disdainful expressions, thinking that Harvey was just too cocky for his own good.Harvey, however, ignored Alma completely and instead looked at Mr.
Soon, Harvey and Alexei walked into the auction hall discreetly with their heads low.The auction hall was incredibly spacious. It resembled a grand stadium, with individual seats placed all over. In the middle of the stadium was a tall auction platformThere was still some time before the start of the auction, but most of the guests were already there. Everyone nodded toward each other and started chatting. Not only was this an auction, but a lot of people also treated this as a place where they could socialize.Harvey and Alexei had been brought to seats at the corner by the staff. Harvey didn't mind this location. He picked up a tablet in front of him and started to swipe it. The content was mostly about the items up for auction."Hello, everyone! It is good to see all the familiar faces in Grand City's Charity Auction once more," said an old man with a cool expression in traditional garb as he appeared on the platform. His voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear.There w
Harvey frowned. "Isn't that a little too far-fetched? An Oracle Text that can predict the future?"Alexei shook his head. "Don't underestimate the Hierophant, Big bro. Few people throughout history could decipher the Book of Changes so thoroughly. "It was said that there was a prince from some oil-producing country who managed to get an Oracle Text that showed the word Chaos."It was predicting that his country would fall into chaos. That prince made early preparations. Half a year later, that country fell into chaos, but the prince managed to prepare for it and suppressed the chaos. He even gained a lot of benefits from it. "After that, the Hierophant's Oracle Text became extremely popular!"Alexei spoke as if he were explaining to Harvey some ancient secrets. He glanced around sneakily, like he was worried that someone would hear him gossiping about the Hierophant.After Harvey heard it, he became curious. "Looks like this Hierophant really has something unique about him. No
Around ten in the evening, Alexei took Harvey to the Grand City's Charitable Auction. The auction was organized by the priesthood. Every time they had an auction, they would invite the socialites to attend.To the socialites, the mysterious Grand City would only show a little bit of itself around this time. In this auction, everyone used H dollars. Of course, there were times when bartering was possible, with the preface that both sides found the trade agreeable.Harvey had also learned about the details of the auction before coming. The mayor was at the top of the social hierarchy, followed by the Seven Families. However, because Wenzel had been missing for all these years, the Hierophant had been leading the Seven Families. That was why the Priesthood's social standing was far higher than before, despite being just a non-essential body in the past.For example, the one who chaired this auction this evening was the so-called Priestess. Harvey had heard plenty of rumors about
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
