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
Rodney shot his grandson a bitter and infuriated expression.He slapped Castiel around a few dozen more times to the point the latter’s face was completely swollen.He then dragged Castiel by the collar and threw the boy in front of Harvey.“I’m sorry about this, Teacher!” Rodney exclaimed, after kneeling himself.“I didn’t teach this b*stard well enough!”“I even taught him your techniques!”“I didn’t think he’d offend you like this, despite his lack of experience!”“Please forgive him!”“Give him a chance!”“T-Teacher?!”Reece and Castiel were completely shocked to hear the title, and to see Rodney kneeling in front of Harvey. They were filled with utter disbelief.Harley quickly covered her mouth, trying her hardest not to scream.Nobody expected that Golden Sands’ top geomancy expert with immense status in the business would call someone like Harvey his teacher!The entire city would be in an uproar if word about this were to spread.“Let me tell you right now, you b*
Harley was completely shocked. Her eyes frantically twitched, and she was filled with disbelief.‘A live-in son-in-law is this powerful?’The man she supported was kneeling in front of Harvey, getting slapped around all the while.‘This…’Harley couldn’t help but mutter to herself.“Impossible! This is impossible!”“Stand. Ignorance isn’t a crime.”After seeing Castiel and Rodney’s attitudes, Harvey quickly lifted up Castiel.“Just remember: geomancy arts aren't for showing off.”If it wasn’t for Harvey, Castiel would’ve gotten Leona killed.Castiel nodded without pause.“I understand! Thank you for your teaching!”“I’ll remember that!”Harvey then glanced at Rodney.“My technique can be used to clean up the evil energy inside Leona, but…”“This can only get her body recovered, and not her eyes.”“Just like a small boat, if you want it to travel steadily, you need both the sea to be calm and the quality of the boat to be good enough for it to go far.”Harvey took a dee
Swoosh!Ten minutes later, the evil energy that had come out of Leona’s body dissipated immediately.Harvey snapped his fingers, and walked away before blowing out the fog in his mouth at a safe distance.When everything disappeared in thin air, he smiled.“It’s all done. Just rest for a few minutes and Ms. Foley’s sight and energy will be recovered.”Bam!Harley quickly pushed Harvey away and rushed toward Leona, planning to wipe the cinnabar off her face.“No! You can’t!”Slap!Kairi had long been prepared; she instantly swung the back of her palm across Harley’s face, stopping the latter.Harley screamed in pain, and fell to the ground.She stood up again quickly, covering her face.“This is bad! This is really bad!”“You need to wipe off the cinnabar mark!”Slap!This time, Reece stepped forward and slapped Harley in the face.Harley instantly fell to the ground once more.“Why did you hit me, Uncle?!”Harley was filled with resentment.“I’m doing this for my cou
