Reece frowned after hearing Harvey’s words. He wanted to hear what else Harvey had to say.Harvey smiled at the woman.“You should be careful of what you’re wearing next time.”“You’ll have a difficult time if you wear your shirt backwards. It’ll make it harder for you to breathe! You won’t have a good time sleeping at night, either.”“If you keep that in mind, maybe you won’t need forty-nine days to get better sleep.”“Of course, you still need to eat eggs every day.”Everyone froze, then looked at the woman. They all broke into amused smiles soon after.As Harvey had pointed out, the woman’s shirt was worn backwards. It was only natural she’d find it hard to breathe and sleep.Reece became a lot more curious about Harvey. After handing the talisman to the woman, the second customer walked in.This time, it was an eighty-year-old man with messy hair and a gloomy expression. A foul stench could be smelled on him. All who got close to him were completely disgusted.Reece frown
As Harvey went on talking, the customers’ problems were constantly getting solved.Everyone quickly surrounded him, hoping that they would get their turn.Reece, who they completely trusted, was cast aside.Harvey was very fast. Right after listening to the customers’ troubles, he would immediately point out the root causes and ways to fix them.After having their problems dealt with, every single one of the customers left with shocked expressions. More importantly, Harvey would occasionally scribble all sorts of talismans for the customers during the process.People quickly sent word, saying that there was a genius at Fortune Hall.Many elderly women whose daughters weren’t able to get married for many years came for Harvey’s help.Even if there were problems Harvey couldn’t deal with on the spot, he could still give suggestions for the customers to try and use to fix their problems themselves.This was the appearance of a true geomancy expert.All the while, Reece had been
Fortune Hall’s front yard and backyard were connected by a long corridor.Beautiful ponds with fish and flowers could be seen on both sides.The place seemed quite old, but it gave great aesthetic pleasure. Rivers, bridges, gazebos, and artificial mountains filled the entire place.The hot air around seemed to have become a lot more refreshing when the wind blew past. It was quite a comfortable feeling.And in the centermost gazebo, a woman without makeup was sitting there in a white dress and a casual ponytail.She pressed a compass in her hands every once in a while, as if she was calculating something.Many bamboo slips were placed around her. They were all hand-carved, so she could feel the words written on them.Even without eyesight and body strength, her graceful aura could still be felt.Harvey couldn’t help but find her impressive.There had been many beautiful women who were into plastic surgery recently, since it was quite popular…As such, women with poetic charm
“He’s buying this place without money?”Leona froze; she was completely stunned.“What are you saying, Grandfather?”Reece then told Leona everything that had happened.Leona was a smart woman, but she still had her doubts about Harvey.She couldn’t see Harvey’s face, but she could tell that he was a young man judging from his voice and aura.‘A young man like him is better than my grandfather at geomancy?’‘What a joke!’That said, Leona knew Reece wouldn’t acknowledge Harvey if he wasn’t actually capable of anything.A doubtful expression settled on her face.Harvey reached out to her with a small smile. “Hello. I’m Harvey.”Leona politely returned his greeting.“Pleased to meet you, Harvey. Thank you for coming here for me.”“That said, please don’t feel pressured at all. I’m fully prepared.”“I was the one who leaked God’s plans. I deserve this.”Naturally, Leona understood her condition well.“Is that what you think?”Harvey chuckled.“Don’t worry. This is noth
Kairi and the others looked over as well, and saw a group of people walk in from the corridor.Harvey saw a man in a robe leading them. The man was a little skinny; he had quite a handsome face, but he looked arrogant and conceited.At a closer glance, he looked similar to Rodney.The young man nodded after seeing Reece.“Hello, Master Foley.”Even when he was greeting Reece respectfully, the arrogant look on his face remained.“Did you get someone from Aeon Hall here?”Reece narrowed his eyes and studied the young man before him.“Are you Master Foster’s grandchild, Castiel?”Castiel smiled.“You have a good memory, sir. I didn’t think you’d remember me after we met only once many years ago.”Harley smiled.“Castiel’s a good friend of mine, Uncle.”“In Golden Sands, his geomancy arts are second to none!”“More importantly, his studies have skyrocketed recently.”“I put a great deal of effort into getting him to come here!”Harley turned to Leona. “You should let Yo
Harvey couldn’t be bothered to deal with Harley after seeing her shifting all the blame to him.Harley didn’t give up, though; she was dead set on chasing Harvey out of the front door.Reece quickly stepped in front of her.“Calm down, Harley! Don’t do anything stupid!”Leona smiled.“I’ll be fine, Harley.”“You think?!”“If I didn’t get here in time, you would’ve been dead by now!”Harley screamed in anger and broke free from Reece before rushing toward Harvey, prepared to slap him in the face.“I’m not done with you after last time, you b*stard!”“You ruined my brother’s business, and now, you’re here to hurt my cousin?!”“I want you dead!”Slap!Before Harvey could take action, Kairi suddenly took a step forward and swung the back of her palm across Harley’s face.“Do you want to die? How dare you disrespect Sir York like that?!”Harley froze after seeing and hearing Kairi’s attitude and tone.Naturally, she knew who Kairi was.Her attention had been completely on H
Harvey’s picture and stamp were in every single one of the booklets.“That’s impossible!”Harley froze.“This must be fake!”She chuckled coldly.“You won’t believe a con man like this, will you?”“This guy will stop at nothing to get what he wants!”Castiel chuckled when he saw Harley being so agitated.“Master Foley, I don’t know where you found this con man.”“I don’t know why you chose to trust him either, but…”“Only Aeon Hall has a chance to save Leona!”Reece looked at Castiel’s confident look and asked, “Why’s that?”“Why?”Castiel crossed his arms with a prideful expression.“Because I have inherited the Book of Changes’ studies!”“I can vanquish every trouble in this world!”Reece was filled with shock after hearing that.“What?! The Book of Changes?!”“Impossible! That book was lost to time!”“Why would I lie?”Castiel became more conceited after seeing the look on Reece’s face.“Not long ago, my grandfather found an expert who taught him everything abou
Castiel immediately let out a cough after seeing the look Harley gave him.“Even among brothers, scores should be settled clearly.”“I heard that you sent word recently…”“That the person who saves Leona will get Fortune Hall for free. Is that true?”Reece had a profound look on his face. “That’s right. You can take this place any time after Leona’s properly treated.”“You can have the sign that’s been passed down through nine different generations, too.”Harley trembled in excitement after hearing those words.“Don’t you worry! My uncle has always kept his promises,” she said with a smile.“If you’re still doubtful, I can make a guarantee myself.”Bam!Reece didn’t waste any time pulling out a contract and throwing it on the table.“Don’t worry. I have the contract right here.”“Whoever saves my granddaughter can take this place away.”Harley excitedly grabbed the contract and took a few glances at it. Her eyes lit up.“This is it! It’s a real contract! It just needs sig
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
