Naturally, Sonny was so shameless to the point that he didn’t care for his self-respect anymore.He was quick to explain and twist the entire situation in his favor…Hoping that Chloe would take out Harvey for him.“That’s not true, Vice President…” Mandy quickly said.Yet, it was clear that Chloe was supporting Sonny. She had no intention to listen to Mandy’s explanation.“You hit our people in our own turf?” she snarled coldly.“How bold can you get?”“You’ll be blacklisted here from now on!”“Come! Get these people out of here!”Her tone was filled with a righteous and fearless aura.After hearing Chloe’s words, Mandy’s face immediately lost all color.She didn’t think that things would escalate like this.The ninth branch was already in deep trouble…Yet, their fate was set in stone because of this!‘I haven’t even been in charge of the ninth branch for that long…’ she thought, miserable. ‘How could I think of becoming the person in charge of the Jean family when I’
“Fine! Since you’re being such a show-off, then just fire me already!”Chloe crossed her arms, her exquisite face showing nothing but utter disdain.“Come on! Do it!” she challenged, glaring coldly at Harvey.Bam!At this moment, the door of the main hall was kicked open.A dozen people in luxurious clothes showed up soon after.The person at the very front was a wealthy-looking man in a tidy leather suit.He was none other than Saul Robbins, president of the Golden Sands Bank and prince of the Robbins family.Chloe and the others quickly turned around and hurried their way toward Saul.“Young Master Robbins!”“Why did you come here?”Chloe and Sonny had their brightest smiles; they were on the verge of kneeling and hugging Saul’s legs.Saul, who had usually been quite personable, looked as if he didn’t even see them.He took a few steps toward Harvey…Then held Harvey’s hand before shaking it extremely hard.“I’m really sorry about all this, Sir York…”“Please forgive
“You don’t have to apologize to me,” Harvey replied calmly.“As for how you’re going to deal with this…”“You have full control.”“I have no objections.”Harvey spoke calmly, as if none of this had to do with him.That said, his tone was enough to send cold shivers down everyone’s spines.Those who had been waiting to make fun of Harvey were so scared that their eyeballs were about to fall out.After all, for him to sound so eerily calm must mean that he was terribly furious. Chloe and Sonny would have no choice but to pay a great price because of this.Saul showed Harvey a faint smile before straightening up. The coldness radiating from his eyes could be sensed as he glared behind him.Chloe and Sonny froze instantly; they wanted to kneel, but they had completely lost control of their bodies.“Stand still.”Saul didn’t raise his voice, nor did he insult the two.He hooked his finger, signaling to a security guard to hand over a steel pipe. Then, he broke their legs himse
Harvey quickly pulled out a pen and paper, and scribbled.“Mr. Robbins, tell someone you trust to get these things for me.”“I’ll pull out Mrs. Robbins’s evil energy right now.”“It’ll be completely done soon.”“You’ll be able to bear a child once I’m finished.”Saul froze when he read the list of things on the paper.“Thank you. I’ll get these immediately,” he said, nodding.At the same time, there was admiration in his eyes when he looked at Harvey.He was worried Harvey would use the opportunity to demand for more ridiculous benefits, but…He didn’t think Harvey would agree to help so easily.Saul started to appreciate Harvey a little more.Afterwards, Saul’s trusted subordinate got the list of things ready.A bowl of chicken blood, some paper, and a metal bucket to burn the paper in.After seeing the items, Lola froze. Then she asked instinctively, “How can I help, Sir York?”Harvey pointed at the table.“I need you to lie on the table and show me your belly.”Lola
Harvey signaled for Saul to put a blanket on Lola and then follow him out.Saul respectfully got Harvey into the guest room next door.“Is it all done, Sir York?” he asked.“Has our child been finally released?”He was filled with excitement and worry at the same time.Harvey squinted at Saul for a moment, and then chuckled softly. “Do you believe in superstition, Mr. Robbins?”Saul froze.“If there’s no such thing, then what was that before…?”Harvey let out a sigh.“Remember what I said this morning?”“What Mrs. Robbins needs is medicine for the mind.”“She’s completely fine, but her heart has been stumped ever since she lost her child.”“That was why she had been in a state of false pregnancy.”“Because of this, there was no way for you two to bear another child.”“That act just now made her believe that her first child has been released.”“I channeled my energy into her, treating the sicknesses that stuck to her ever since she had a miscarriage.”“She’s perfectly
“Right. You need to sign this.”Saul Robbins was just about to send Harvey York out before he remembered something.He quickly grabbed a folder before telling Harvey to sign a paper.Harvey casually took a glance.“What is it?”“Just a small gift. You should take it.”After signing the paper and stamping Harvey’s thumbprint, Saul clapped his hands with contentment.Harvey was left completely speechless.“What is this, Saul?”Saul smiled.“After I married my wife, we started a business together called the ‘Golden Estate.’ It was mainly focused on the city’s real estate business.“Since she’s about to focus on having our baby, the business has to be put on hold.“If we sell the business or let someone else control it, she’ll definitely be unhappy about it. After all, this is considered to be her dowry!“That said, I’m sure she’ll be fine with you having the shares.“From now on, you’ll be the owner of the Golden Estate with ninety percent of the company’s shares!“Leave th
Mandy Zimmer brought Maya Lee into the Porsche, then waved at Harvey York to get into the passenger’s seat.Then, she stepped on the pedal before speaking.“I haven’t asked since I was worrying about the loans, the salary payment, and the company’s production…“But are you going to tell me what happened previously?”Harvey just smiled.“What about it?”“You and Saul Robbins.”Mandy glanced at Harvey with a curious gaze.She completely understood that Harvey was acquainted with Saul. After all, he was a successful man.But she could not wrap her mind around why Saul would pay Harvey this much respect.Not only did he fire two of the bank’s higher-ups, but he also lent Mandy three hundred million dollars worth of loans.Harvey just arrived in the Golden Sands for a few days!Saul belonged to one of the Hermit Families. Why was he being respectful to an outsider like Harvey?This was just baffling!After hearing Mandy’s words, Maya froze before she scoffed quietly.She beli
Harvey York squinted at Mandy Zimmer.“Are you sure you can handle it?”Mandy nodded.“Yeah.”Even if she could not, she would not want Harvey to help to prove her strength.“Alright. That’s good to know.Naturally, Harvey knew just how stubborn Mandy was.“But don’t force yourself if it’s too hard. Just say the word, and I’ll deal with it.”Maya Lee showed a scornful expression after hearing Harvey’s words.‘Not only does he talk big, he sure likes to show off a lot too…’Vroom!When the Porsche was on the road with few people, a few vans without license plates appeared out of nowhere.A couple of vans also showed up from behind, completely stopping Harvey and the others in their tracks.Mandy and Maya showed stern expressions on their faces. They did not know what was happening.Clack!The van doors opened before a dozen fighters walked out with steel pipes and baseball bats in hand.Chloe Anderson and Sonny Lee were also seen with walking sticks.“These b*stards!M
Dan stood up and took out a history book, then flipped open a page. It was a story about a king walking barefoot to a cathedral where he was whipped as penance.King Henry the Second!-The next day, a row of luxury cars suddenly appeared. Among them were Ferrari, Bugatti, Maybach, and Rolls-Royce.All the luxury car brands that could be found in this world appeared, and it was very noisy.Harvey, who had just finished his morning training, was just walking past the entrance. He didn't leave in a rush. Instead, he moved a stool over and sat down curiously.Very quickly, the doors opened, and many figures got out of the cars. The men and women wore high-quality outfits, and all of them bore the imposition of someone of high status.When the guards of the Foster residence saw these people, they were instinctively rattled. It was obvious that these were heirs of the large families in Grand City. They were either scions or ladies of their families. In other words, none of them wer
Coco was slightly stunned when she heard that. "You already knew Wenzel's coming back? Is that why you made all these preparations?"Dan shook his head. "How should I know when he's coming back? What I do know is that there's going to be consequences no matter if we're able to arrest Tina, hence why I made preparations. While it wastes some resources and can be quite a handful, we now know it's the right way."At the very least, we won't be trapped in a corner. Since this happened before Wenzel came back, no one can accuse us of falsifying this evidence. Sometimes, it can be quite lonely being the best," Dan added calmly.Seeing his composure, Coco held his arm and gushed, "You're the best, Dan! Without you, I might have already died plenty of times. "But even if we can stop this from worsening, what about Silvan?"He's not one of us, but he's also a member of the Seven Families. The Jacksons would want us to give them a proper reason. At the very least, we need to help him take
"I really didn't expect Wenzel would come back…" Dan said, pouring himself a cup of tea and taking a sip.When Coco saw that Dan could still remain so calm, she wasn't sure what she should say. Her face, drained of color, spoke much of her state."Coco, now that things have reached this stage, there's no point in being anxious," Dan said as he put down the teacup and consoled her. "While Wenzel's return is a huge problem, it's not exactly all bad. Just wait and let things settle down first…"Coco finally recovered after hearing that. She looked at Dan and forced herself to calm down. "Dan, I know you've always been good at planning and winning without lifting a finger, and you don't really care about a lot of things. You probably already have a plan to deal with this."But it's really different this time. Don't forget why we told Silvan to go to the Foster residence in the first place. If Wenzel got his hands on the recordings, you'd be labeled a criminal for acting against your
A lounge at the Foster residence.Wenzel walked in with his hands behind his back, his eyes showing a hint of disappointment. He knew very well just how hard Vaida had worked to stop everything from falling apart in the ten years he had been absent. That was why he wanted to console her first before saying anything else.However, he didn't expect to see that she had already prepared a pot of tea for him when he stepped into the lounge. Seeing Wenzel come in, Vaida stood up, pulled the chair opposite her, and greeted him with a gentle smile. "You're home, Dad."It was as if Wenzel hadn't been gone in the last decade. He felt like Vaida was treating him as if he had just gone to work in the morning and had come home after a long day.Wenzel was slightly taken aback, then gave Vaida a gentle smile. "Yes, I'm home."He originally wanted to say something along the lines of "Thank you", but seeing her expression, he knew those words were meaningless. There were many times when the p
None of the elites from Earth Hall had a problem with Wenzel's words. They all kneeled on the ground and said, "We understand the gravity of our crimes. We accept our punishment!"Meanwhile, Silvan's eye twitched as he forced a smile. "You're mistaken, Mayor! You've been away and didn't return in the past decade. You probably don't know what's happening in Grand City. Please listen to my explanation. I'm sure you'll be happy with it."Silvan was no fool. He knew very well that tonight, he might be made an example of if he wasn't careful. He had no choice but to choose to surrender so that he wouldn't be killed with one slap.Harvey said nothing but simply looked at what was happening without much interest. The others might be afraid of Wenzel, but he didn't feel anything."Grand City's current situation? Isn't it just someone wanting to hijack my authority while I'm away?" Wenzel said softly, but his words were frightening. "If I return any later, would you have a new mayor already
Rumble…The gigantic helicopter slowly landed on a platform right outside the entrance of the Foster Residence. The door slid open, and dozens of men in white robes walked out. Their faces were cold, as if they were machines or puppets. When they walked out, it was difficult to tell if they were even humans.Among the group, several men and women wearing masks could be seen among the men. While they weren't that eye-catching, they seemed to be surrounded by a formless, subtle aura of awe.Harvey gave them a look, and he could tell these men and women were extremely powerful. They were all elites at the level of True Warriors. All he could say was that Grand City was indeed very well established.A woman wearing Givenchy's exclusive collection and frameless glasses slowly walked out before standing aside, making way for a middle-aged man wearing a traditional garb. The man had a powerful figure and a handsome face. The outfit he was wearing was quite old, with a few patches here and
"Forget being on your knees and begging me, you're even threatening me," Harvey patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?""If you do, you wouldn't be wasting your breath now!" Silvan said with a cold smile, his expression brutal. "I'm warning you… You had better return the Absolute Decree to me in one piece, then kneel and beg for forgiveness and offer Tina to me. Then, maybe things will end here. Otherwise, you're going to pay for your mistake your entire life! At that time, not only you… Even those who stand with you will have to pay a price you can't even imagine!"Silvan had been given an order to take Tina away no matter what. That was his first aim.Of course, he couldn't simply let the part where he was humiliated be. He would get his revenge one way or another.Harvey smiled. "Really, now. Since you sound so confident, just bring it on. Let's see if your face is harder, or the Absolute Decree is harder…"When Silvan s
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. If you're not going to make a choice soon, I'm going to do that for you." Harvey extended his hand and patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree.Silvan's eyes narrowed. Only at this time did he realize why Dan had forced him to make his move even if he had to spend that precious one chance. The way Harvey did things was simply too overbearing and couldn't be prepared for."Put down the Absolute Decree!""What you're doing is forbidden in Grand City!""This is outrageous!"All the Earth Hall elites yelled, furious.Alexei used this chance to get closer to Harvey and whispered, "Big bro, you should pay more respect to the Absolute Decree. If you keep this up, you might anger all Seven Predecessors if you're not careful."Silvan smiled coldly. "You hear that, Harvey? You humiliated Grand City by stealing the Absolute Decree. You're in big trouble now."Harvey smiled. "You don't have to worry whether I'm in trouble or not. You
"No one can say that I won't be the future mayor of Grand City. As long as I have the possibility of becoming the mayor, what you do know is insubordination!" Harvey sneered. "Are you brave enough to touch me?""Really now?" Silvan snapped, his face frosty. "Do you think I haven't prepared anything before coming here?"Silvan took out a badge made of a special material, flashing it in front of Harvey. "The Absolute Decree! While it can only be used once, it will allow anyone to enter any place within Grand City! I think this is the perfect place to use this. Forget about the fact that you're not even the scion of Grand City just yet. Even if you are, you need to obey the Absolute Decree!"He waved his hand and commanded, "Alright! Go and get our target!"Whoosh!Before anyone from Earth Hall could move, Harvey took a step and immediately appeared right in front of Silvan. Before Silvan could react, Harvey slapped his face. Slap!The slap was loud, and it was powerful enough t
