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
Leona seemed like she was starting to recover, but her body suddenly trembled.She looked a little cold, but she didn’t say a word about it.Castiel was pleased with the results. He quickly puffed up his chest, as if he was about to do something grand.“Alright! Here goes my final move!”“This is the most important part of my teachings!”“Get out of here already, whoever you are! Don’t look at my secrets!”“This belongs to Aeon Hall only!”“It’ll be bad if someone with ulterior motives managed to learn this!”He crossed his arms with a prideful look.It was as if he wouldn’t save Leona unless Harvey left immediately.“Aeon Hall?”Harvey chuckled coldly after hearing those words.“Did Rodney tell you that?”“How dare you call my grandfather by his name, you b*stard?!”“Besides, what does it have to do with you?” Castiel showed utter disdain as he challenged Harvey.“In any case, I don’t want to see you here!”“If you’re not leaving, then I’m not saving Leona!”Harley
The VIP seats opposite Maya had a group of men and women chatting loudly in plain clothing. All of them looked arrogant, and the way they looked down on others seemed second nature to them. A bald man was in the center of it all. He was wearing a simple white jacket and a pair of outdated cloth shoes. When he sat there, he looked like he was shifting between a state of awareness or sleep."This is the man leading the challengers. All of them called him Mr. Parker." Mandy's eyes immediately fell on this bald man as she explained. It was obvious that while she wasn't here all the time, she knew a lot about the underground boxing gym.Harvey then asked calmly, "He's so easily identifiable. You really can't find anything about him at all?""Nothing. But to him, money is nothing but a number," Mandy sighed. "He didn't look anything unique, but from the limited edition Richard Mille watch he's wearing? That watch is called a 'Billionaire's Watch'. Just that alone is proof enough of how
"Even if they're really from another world, they wouldn't be anyone ordinary. They're dressed simply, but we could tell they're no ordinary people. They looked at all the other guests like they were ants, as if they stood on top of the world. Speaking of which, the one who led them was someone with the last name Parker…"At this point, Mandy found it difficult to continue the conversation. Not only did she lose so much money, but she wasn't even sure who she lost to. It was a total humiliation!"Parker… Not ordinary people… Looking down on everyone…" Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from Parkerville?"A few days ago, Harvey had just humiliated Clarion. In the days that followed, Clarion seemed to have completely disappeared. It didn't fit his modus operandi. Harvey started to suspect that the Parkers of Parkerville were behind this.Most importantly, they could anger him through Mandy. It seemed not everyone from Parkerville was brainless. At the very least, they were quite goo
Mandy kept mum.Harvey sighed. "Fine. Let's not talk about closing the underground boxing ring. Explain to me what has been going on lately. Just how much have you lost?"Mandy took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat opposite Harvey. She picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp before saying with a sigh, "Because of what happened with the real estate earlier, the Ninth Branch can't simply open up new markets in a short time. We're bleeding money every day. "I realized the Ninth Branch can be supported by just the underground boxing ring. Unfortunately, even our profit from the ring is falling. One of our shareholders gave us the idea to allow guests to bring their own fighters rather than simply betting on fighters. That way, it becomes a competition between the host and the guest."A few days ago, a group of guests came with eight elites and wanted to bet with the underground boxing ring. They said they'll be betting 7 million dollars a match. I didn't want to agr
Travis said mildly, "Logically speaking, you've been with Harvey for so long. You know him better than normal soldiers like us. You think that if we don't report what happens to him at such a critical time, we're hiding things from him. Won't he feel guilty once he finds out in the future?"In the past, he taught us that those who have martial power should serve the people and the country. Are you really going to say nothing to him at this point?"Ethan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We'll take it step by step. We might not really end up in a conflict on the border, so let me think about it."-The third ring of Wolsing, the Ninth Branch.In the CEO's office, Mandy had just poured Harvey a cup of coffee. She was stunned."How did you know about the underground boxing ring? We do have an asset like that, but since it's in a gray area, it's not suitable to be spoken of openly. "That place has raised a lot of martial arts elites and trained many of our security guards, which
"You'll get your chance. Maybe you'll find a chance to kill him and it'll be fine," Harvey said, patting Ethan on the shoulder. "You're here in Wolsing to make your annual report, right? We'll finish this first, then we'll go to the Judds of Wolsing. There are certain things that we need to deal with first. As for someone like Clarion… Don't worry about him."There was a strange expression on Ethan's face, but in the end, he took a deep breath and said, "Alright. I'll listen to you. I'll come to help you once I've made my annual report at the ministry."Suddenly, Ethan remembered something else. "Right, there's something quite problematic you didn't know. I heard one of the underground boxing gyms belonging to the Ninth Branch of the Jeans of Mordu, where Mandy is from, has been continuously challenged by someone. They've lost dozens of matches, and it's causing huge losses in the past few days."The underground boxing gym is located in the countryside of Wolsing, and it should be
While it was vital for Dan to see Sienna, it became something very few people noticed as the situation in Wolsing kept changing. This included Harvey. While his men had been keeping an eye on Dan and his entourage, even they couldn't confirm all his movements. A man like Dan had to keep their planned routes in secret more than anything else.Most importantly, there were quite a number of talented people around him. Even when George used everything Sky Corporation had access to, they couldn't find out everything clearly in a short time.After making their reports to Harvey, he made sure George's operations were funded even more and told George to find a way to hire more martial arts elites, as George's people were no longer sufficient to deal with what they had to do right now.The next few days had been quiet, as if nothing important was going to happen anymore in Wolsing.One morning, a man clad in military uniform stood outside Harvey's residence. It was Ethan Judd, the Longsword
"Right, there's something else," Dan said as he slapped his forehead. "It's almost time for my grandmother's 90th birthday. She's a good friend of our teacher. If you have the chance, please convince him not to stay in Wolsing all the time. He should head to Grand City once in a while. He might think things through after that."Sienna nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'll try talking to him. After all, staying in Grand City for a few days might improve his condition."After half an hour, Dan quietly left the temple of the Saint of Death and got back into the red car. Shortly, the car started and slowly left the national park.Once the car was back on Wolsing's freeway, the woman who had been playing with it called Lanny beamed and asked, "So, how did it go? Did that junior of yours change her impression of you?"Lanny crossed her legs, and the fragrance from her tickled Dan's nose. He wished he could immediately pounce on her and pull her pantyhose away."Things aren't that easy," D
"That's right, because he really impressed me. But the reason I'm impressed isn't because he has become the representative for the Martial Arts Alliance. It's simply because he's willing to fight for our country. Few people have such pure thoughts in this age," Sienna said after giving it a thought."That being said, few people know that I've been impressed. How did you find that out?"Dan smiled. "You must have forgotten something. While you're our teacher's last student, I'm also a favored student myself. Just because you called our teacher didn't mean we didn't remain in touch. I know you're impressed by him through our teacher as well. And I heard from our teacher that you want to find a chance to introduce him formally?" Hearing what Dan had said, Sienna nodded. She often mentioned Harvey to her teacher but did not expect her teacher to divulge it to Dan."The thought did cross my mind," Sienna said in honesty. "You should know that our teacher should have reached the level o
"As for Parkerville controlling the Martial Arts Alliance? I don't think you need to do that. Among all the Sacred Training Grounds, Parkerville is the one Sacred Training Ground that is linked to the broader society the most. The Country H government is aware of your actions and is on their guard."If you really manage to become the representative, not only will the top ten families suppress the Martial Arts Alliance, but even the five hidden families and the four pillars will do that. That way, it will simply make our factions lose our power due to infighting. It's a demerit for all of us," Sienna said with a hint of sternness."If I were you, I would spend some time in Wolsing, have dinner with your representative, warn him a little, talk about cooperation, and then leave. This is the best choice for us, for you, and for the entire country."When Dan heard what Sienna had to say, he smiled. "Thank you for your thoughts. However, as a man, my life should be one of glory and passio
