Aunt Anderson stood up furiously and stormed toward Harvey.“Why are you even here?”“Did your damn mother-in-law send you to follow us?”“Looks like the rumors were true! Your family’s about to go bankrupt, huh?”“How dare you try to steal our limelight!”Naturally, Aunt Anderson disdained the Zimmer family utterly.‘They didn’t even lend a hand when I needed them to, and now, they’re getting their live-in son-in-law to cling to my daughter when she has a bright future ahead of her?’‘What a joke!’“Leave! Leave right now!”Aunt Anderson was screaming in anger.“You won’t get a damn job here!”“Do you even know what this place is?!”“Without a proper educational background, you don’t even have the right to clean the toilets here!”“Do you think everyone’s just as talented as my daughter or something?”Harvey ignored the crazy woman in front of him. This was just too embarrassing.After seeing Harvey remain silent, Nova raised her beautiful face.“You hear that, Harvey?
The front desk lady was filled with disdain.“This is a big office building, mister. We have manners here.”“Do you know what’ll happen to you if you keep causing trouble like this?”A few security guards walked over, glaring coldly at Harvey.Meanwhile, he glanced calmly at the Rolex watch on his wrist.“Two minutes…”“Stop pretending already!” Nova yelled, laughing coldly right after.“How dare you order Ms. Pagan to come down here?”“Who do you think you are?!”“Even the prince of the Patel family or the eldest young master of the John family has no right to do this! Do you understand?!”Aunt Anderson cackled coldly, as if she had seen through Harvey.“You’re just trying to show off in front of us to flaunt your strength, aren’t you?”“Have you thought of the consequences of doing such a thing?”“You’ll suffer a horrible death if Ms. Pagan actually comes for you!”“Let me warn you! You should just leave before you embarrass yourself too much.”“You might just drag us
Aunt Anderson froze instantly; she never thought that her daughter actually got into the company with Harvey’s help.Without his help, Nova wouldn’t get that right in the first place.Safe to say Aunt Anderson, was as ashamed as she was cocky before.As for Nova, she never wished for Harvey to get her into the company.How was she going to show off to the Zimmers if that was the case?After all, she was acting all high and mighty just the day before!She couldn’t let go of that pride in such a short time!No matter what, she didn’t want to give up!“CEO Pagan! The manager of your personnel department called me!” Nova exclaimed.“Wasn’t it because of my looks, temperament, and talent?”“There’s no way I got in this company because of this useless live-in son-in-law!”Nova had a prideful expression, as if she was an actual elite.After looking at her, the front desk lady and security guards exchanged awkward glances.Everyone thought that Nova was being a little too conceite
Harvey turned around before sizing up Arlet.She now seemed a lot more mature compared to her time at home.She was still very much a pure and innocent-looking woman, but there was also a sophisticated aura stopping Harvey from doing whatever he wanted to her.After taking a few glances at Arlet, he shook his head.“It’s fine. Let me take a look at you.”“I need to look for a store after this.”Arlet almost broke a tooth after hearing Harvey’s indifferent words.‘I’m trying so hard to show my gentle side! Can’t you at least appreciate me a little?!’‘He’s blind! That’s for sure!’However, she quickly held her anger back and then slowly took off her jacket. She also undid a few buttons of her shirt.“I’ve been hurting right here while I was training this morning. I almost died because of it,” she said, pointing at her extremely deep cleavage.“Take a look here.”Arlet perked up her chest on purpose.Harvey was completely speechless.“You…didn’t need to do that.”“If your
Harvey’s expression worsened.“Why are you doing that? What are you trying to say here?” he asked.“Do I look like the kind of person who wants that to happen to you?”“Aren’t you supposed to heal me?” Arlet shot back. A timid expression colored her face.“I’m ready for you to hit me however you want!”“You can do whatever you want as long as I’m healed!”“I like it when you hit harder!”“You…” Harvey was startled. “You’re not actually a masochist, are you?”Harvey stared at her with a bemused look. Then, he swung his palm forward.“Who told you I was going to heal you that way?”“Last time, I was just clearing your veins to relieve your headaches!”“This time, I’ll have to deal with the problem once and for all through the martial arts you’ve been practicing.”“I need you to tell me what style you’ve been training in to see where the problem is.”After hearing Harvey’s words, Arlet’s face turned as red as a traffic light.She quickly retracted from him and went to ru
“Congratulations, Arlet!”“Looks like you weren’t lying after all!”“Quick! Tell us where that person is!”“We need to see him as well!”Mr. Robbins was filled with anxiety.“We found so many well-known doctors from all around the world. Even Oskar Armstrong took a look at us before!”“He told us that it isn’t a sickness, and that it’s a curse!”“Only a geomancy expert can deal with it!”“Even so, we couldn’t fix it even after hunting down so many of them…”“In any case, we’ll do anything as long as you can get the expert to help us!”Mrs. Robbins sighed.“Everything’s all up to you, Arlet.”“When I deal with all this, I’ll make sure to find you a husband that can take a beating from all the top-rated families!”Harvey’s face darkened instantly.‘A husband that can take a beating? What does that even mean?’Arlet appeared very awkward when she saw the look on Harvey’s face, and hurriedly changed the subject.“The expert’s right in front of you, Mrs. Robbins.”“Let me i
Saul was boiling with anger after hearing Harvey’s words.He immediately thought Arlet was probably fooled by the man in front of him.‘He doesn’t even have a certificate, yet he dares to call himself an expert?’‘What a joke!’‘Is he a con man or an idiot?’“Did you graduate from the Springfield University of the royal family, perhaps?”“Not at all,” Harvey said. “I learned how to operate an excavator pretty well during my time at university. I have a certificate for that, too.”“You’re just bullsh*itting then, aren’t you?”After hearing Harvey’s words, Saul’s expression turned as cold as ice.“You’re in a completely different profession!”“Why are you talking to us about geomancy when you only drive excavators?!”“What a joke!”“Don’t you understand the importance of geomancy to Country H as a whole?”“We’ll beat you to death if you keep trying to fool us like this!”Arlet’s expression changed after hearing Saul’s words. She knew that the situation was about to escalate
“Ah…”“Please! Come back!”Saul snapped to his senses and stumbled out, screaming for Harvey.Lola looked as if she came back from a dream, and then hurriedly she followed Saul.A shame Harvey completely ignored them; he stepped into the elevator before disappearing into the crowd within.The couple was panicking; Saul quickly took out his phone to call their subordinates to chase Harvey down.Arlet, who had been following the two, slapped the phone to the ground.“What is wrong with you, Saul?!” she snarled, annoyed.“Harvey’s clearly furious now! What’s the point if you even manage to find him?”“In the first place, you won’t be getting any help if he’s not willing to give you any!”Saul’s head was drenched with cold sweat.“We were wrong, Arlet! We were ignorant!”“We didn’t know that he was such a talented man!”“Please! For the sake of us not having a baby for so long, help us say something to him!”“Money isn’t a problem at all!”“We’ll give him as much money as he
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
