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
Reece glared coldly at Harley, whose face had lost all color completely.“Let me tell you one more thing…”“Don’t even think of getting the house at this point!”“I’m giving it to Sir York instead.”“No! You can’t…!”Harley couldn’t accept such a loss.“How could you do this?!”“I’m your relative!”“Harvey’s just an outsider! Why would you give it to someone like him?”“This isn’t right!”“That’s what you think!”Reece scoffed coldly.“I’ll give it to whoever I damn well please!”“You can’t! Harvey doesn’t even know anything about geomancy!” Harley screamed her lungs out.“He can’t save Leona! He just can’t…”Before she could finish her words, her eyes widened with utter shock and disbelief.Leona was standing up slowly, her blank eyes finally moving.“I can see…!”“I can really see!”Leona cried in happiness, her voice trembling.She thought she would have to spend the rest of her life in darkness…However, Harvey came to give her another chance at life.“Don’t u
Harvey didn’t know what to feel after hearing those words.He came here to buy a shop…Not to get more students.Safe to say, the old man was pretty sly!…After that, Harvey was quite busy.Reece transferred the house to Harvey’s name and refused to take his money.He kept calling Harvey his teacher, all the while declining the payment.Harvey was completely helpless. He sighed before finally accepting Reece as his student and teaching him everything he knew about the Book of Changes.Reece felt as if he struck gold. He decided not to treat any more people until he mastered Harvey’s teachings.Rodney took the opportunity to stay in the Fortune Hall as well. After getting more pointers from Harvey, he happily shut himself away from the world again.Just like that, the two geomancy masters were gone in a single night. Many customers in Golden Sands couldn’t find a single person to help them with their situations.Some time later, Leona fully recovered. Her skills and talent
“Your approval?”Harvey chuckled.“You’re only selling building supplies, yet you act like you belong in the government! This is way beyond your authority, is it not?”“How dare you?!” Mari screeched.“Don’t you know the rules here?”“Every single renovation and transportation business here belongs to Robbins Supplies!”“Everyone has to report to us before anything!”“We’ll punish anyone who buys their own materials and renovates on their own!”“Do you understand me?!”Mari slammed the table with a righteous look.“Of course I don’t. What does my renovation have to do with you?” Harvey replied.Mari chuckled coldly.“Do you really not understand? Or are you just pretending?”“I’m being as clear as I can!”“If you’re renovating on our turf…”“Either you buy our building materials and earn our approval before you start working…”“Or you pay a hundred and fifty-thousand-dollar fine!”“You choose!”Mari gestured for a subordinate to hand a price list for building material
Harvey smiled.“That’s fine. I’m not that experienced, anyway…”“I’d like to see who’ll smash up my place later.”“I’ll show you!”Mari chuckled coldly; she had no intention to force Harvey to make a choice.The roar of engines were soon heard outside.An arrogant voice filled the air.“Which one of you b*stards is taking advantage of my cousin?”“A lot of people want to die in this day and age, huh?”Someone kicked open the car door.“Speak! Who are you?”“I never go against people without any background!”A young man in sunglasses strutted out, followed by around eight people behind him.“Do you know who I am?” the man asked with a cold laugh.“I belong to the Newgate Chamber of Commerce!”“My big brother’s Kellan Ruiz!”“You’ll suffer a horrible death if you go against him!”“Hopefully the name scares you. If not, then get ready to die!”After hearing those words, Mari glared at Harvey and laughed wickedly.“You’re finished! You’re definitely finished!”“Kellan?
The fighters of the Newgate Chamber of Commerce ran fiercely toward the restroom.Mari and the others were completely baffled.They couldn’t accept that the fighters were useless against Harvey.“Not bad. You got me some free workers here.”Harvey chuckled.“Anyone else you want to call over?”“I need a lot more people here!”Mari and the others weren’t stupid. Judging from the situation, they knew that Harvey had an extraordinary identity.They were all gritting their teeth, pretending not to hear what Harvey had said.After looking into Harvey’s eyes, Mari gritted her teeth and waved her hand.“We’re leaving!”The others turned around, preparing to step out.“What’s this?”“What do you think this place is?”“You come here to threaten me and delay my work, then you leave just like that?”“Do you think you can just do whatever you want here?”Harvey smiled calmly.“What is it that you want?”Mari clenched her teeth.“Go over there and dig out all the poop for three
Harvey was a lot freer after letting Castiel handle the front desk. As such, he started planning on how to lure in Evermore.While he was taking a few sips of his tea, Thomas approached him with two other people in tow.At a closer look, the two were actually Saul and Lola—the two people who should’ve been trying for a baby at home.Harvey invited the three to sit in Leona’s favorite gazebo.After pouring them each a cup of tea, he smiled at them.“Why the long faces? Did something happen?”Saul quickly slammed his knees to the ground, kneeling. “I’m sorry, Sir York,” he began in a trembling voice.Harvey quickly lifted him up, frowning. “What’s going on? Why are all three of you here?”Harvey felt it strange to see such an odd group together.“This isn’t about Thomas. I got the wrong person on my side…”The usually graceful Lola let out a bitter chuckle.“After Golden Estate fired Thomas’ ex-girlfriend, that woman sold every single detail about the company to our compet
Harvey frowned and reorganized all the information he just got.“To put it simply, the geomancy expert picked out the lands for us to buy, and that information is strictly confidential.”“And after Sydney leaked all that, competitors like Blazer Estate are trying to raise the prices of those lands and make things harder for us.”“Under these circumstances, the expansion of our company will be at a full stop. Is that what you’re saying?”“Yes!”Saul nodded, his eyes cold.“I sorted out the whole process before getting here.”“Ronnie and us had exchanged blows quite a lot of times before, but this is just completely shameless.”“He’ll skin us alive if we make a wrong move.”Harvey nodded.“Ronnie Lee…”Lola looked at Harvey with an apologetic look.“I heard rumors that Golden Estate’s competitors are banding together under Ronnie’s lead.”“They’re trying to scalp the lands we’re buying while also forcing us to sell our lands for half the price.”“If they actually do all thi
In the end, Journi took a deep breath and buried all her helplessness and fury deeper into her heart. Then, she slowly said, "You must be joking, Ms. Isis. You are the daughter of the Sherril Corp from Country A. No matter how bold I am, I wouldn't dare to cross you. However, I simply wish for you to show some mercy…"To thank you, I'm willing to give you some of the assets in Country A I owe you for free as my gift. I believe you won't make it difficult for me, right?"Journi thought she had already lowered herself to the point that she was practically begging Isis to show her mercy. At this point, she even felt that she was giving up. She even forgot that she had Harvey pretend to be her boyfriend.Harvey was pleased, however. Instead of using an excuse like having a boyfriend, she was willing to accept other conditions in exchange for her freedom. This was a sign that she was maturing."Tsk… Assets from Country A? The few mansions you bought on the West Coast?" Isis lit a cigare
Journi ignored Drake, who was threatening her, and simply stared at Isis. "Isis, we're all part of the elite society. In this community, there are rules for everything. If I'm willing, you can do whatever you want. If I'm willing, I hope you can show me some respect so we can all preserve our dignity."Slap!Isis suddenly stood up and slapped Journi's face. "You little witch! Do you think your dignity is worth anything here? Do you think I need to preserve my dignity? Are you stupid? Not even your father has the right to speak to me like this, and you most definitely don't."The sudden slap stunned Journi. Finally, she managed to compose herself, gritted her teeth, and said, "Isis, are you trying to fight me until the end?"Isis made a hand gesture when she heard that voice. Instantly, dozens of brutal mutants came near. Each of them looked at Journi with a cold expression."Until the end, you say?" sighed Isis as she shook her head. "Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. You
Harvey's expression was becoming even colder. He had a new understanding about the "Madman", the third Young Master of Wolsing. If he was willing to humiliate a woman like that, it meant that he was not of good character."Alright, Drake. I told you not to provoke my Journi. Why are you still threatening her? Aren't you just making things hard for me?" Isis retorted, and then she looked at Journi with heartache. "I'm so sorry, Journi. He's only doing this for our future. No matter what, I owe you an apology on his behalf. Please don't keep this against him. Come, clean your face a little."And then, Isis picked up the towel she had used before and threw it in front of Journi. Journi narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to commit. However, she managed to suppress everything in the end. She had to remind herself she had other objectives for appearing here today.Regardless, she had to see if she could succeed.Journi slowly stood up, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Isis. "Thank you."
Drake shrugged nonchalantly and said to Journi, "I don't care whether you want to kneel, but you know my nickname well."As they spoke, Drake's right finger was already starting to pull the trigger.Journi gritted her teeth, but in the end, she slowly bent the knee. Harvey was stunned as he was going to make his move. There was surprise in his eyes. All these men and women from high society had their own pride. He did not expect her to be able to be so flexible in a time like this. She deserved his praise!"Tsk. Aren't you a princess? Aren't you always prideful? Don't they call you a goddess?" Drake looked at Journi disdainfully when he saw her kneel. He patted Journi's hand with a sneer. "You've always despised me, haven't you? Why are you kneeling before me now?"If it isn't because Ms. Isis desired you, do you think I'll let you kneel here? You're just a daughter from some second-rate top family. You think you're untouchable, and you want to go against us? Do you think you're an
Hearing Drake's words, Journi coldly said, "Drake, are you stupid? Do you know who you are? Are you threatening me? Ruin my face, then. Show me if you can actually bear the consequences of your action!"Journi was quite fearless. Besides Harvey being right next to her, it was also because Journi was sure Drake would not dare to do anything to her. She was a member of the Stanton family, after all. While the Stanton family was not one of the top ten families or one of the five hidden families, they were still one of the top families.If they butted heads and went all out, it would never end well for both sides."Ha! Don't think I didn't know Emery is no longer interested in you," Drake waved his hand, and four brawny men walked out, their eyes locked on Harvey and Journi."I gave you some respect in the past because Emery wanted you, so I did it for his sake. Do you really think you mean anything? And now? Who do you think you are? So what if I tell you to kneel and call her Queen?
Just when Harvey was giving Isis a good look, Jouni could not help but yelp as if she had discovered something novel. "Drake Ward? Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be back in the Northern Lands?"Harvey looked at Isis and instantly frowned. Then, his eyes turned to the man sitting opposite Isis. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had a buzz cut. He was also covered in tattoos and looked very aggressive. Most importantly, he was the only man from Country H who could be on the same level as all these foreigners here.And the way he looked at Isis was one of unrestrained aggression. However, despite clearly noticing that, Isis did not say anything else. That also explained the man's high status because, typically speaking, someone like Isis would definitely kill any man who gave her those looks."Drake Ward?" Harvey was curious. "Why does this name sound so familiar?""Of course it is," Journi replied coldly. "He belonged to one of the five hidden families, the Ward family o
Since the other side wanted to drop all pretenses, he also could do it his way. They lived in an era when fighting fire with fire was the only way to go. The man's expression froze, somewhat darkened. He did not expect this man to be the current chairman of Country H Commercial Group, which meant he had bitten off more than he could ever chew. If he had known, he would not have wasted his breath.But from how calm Harvey was, he could tell that Harvey was definitely someone who would honor his threats. If Harvey really did take this to Elric, then it would simply make everyone look bad. Even if they were sure this place had nothing to do with the commercial group, who would they complain to when Harvey locked all the exits?The moment that thought crossed the man's mind, he could only say with a straightened expression, "I see that you're the chairman, Mr. Harvey. If that's the case, please come in. My master wanted to meet you for a long time."When Journi saw the man had taken a
"True, this is not our territory," the man said with a smile, "but since Mr. Stanton rented this place to us, this place is under our management for the time being. When he rented us this place, we made a promise. Other than the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group, only the guests that we designated can enter this place. "Even gods will have to follow this rule. Not only are you trying to make it hard for us, but you're also making it hard for your father. I believe you won't make it difficult for us, right?The man gave Journi a meaningful smile. A woman who came to his master after submitting herself to him didn't have anything to be proud of.Journi's expression darkened. "What if I said this man is my boyfriend?""Boyfriend?" The man smiled. "He can't enter even if he's your husband. But I know you people like to break the rules all the time. If you want to force your way through, then we'll act accordingly."The man clapped; instantly, eight powerful-built men walked
The next day, eight o'clock in the evening… Harvey got into a car, and Journi was waving at him with a smile. In the past two days, Journi didn't interrupt him and Yvonne, and simply let them clean up everything that had happened earlier.Once it was almost done, only then did Journi ask Harvey to do as he promised and pretend to be her boyfriend.According to Journi, the man from Country A who liked her was becoming worse and worse. One time, he even went to the female toilet and she almost lost her innocence. All she wanted was for Harvey to deal with this properly.Originally, Harvey didn't want to make a move. When he heard how improper the man acted, he was furious and agreed to Journi's request. However, Journi said that this couldn't be taken care of using force alone. She hoped Harvey would go and meet him and settle this peacefully. This would be good for both sides.Originally, Harvey was going to ask Tyson to immediately teach that man a lesson. But since Journi requ
