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
“Everything’s out of the bag at this point. Since Ronnie raised the price of the lands we were supposed to buy, the government wouldn’t just lower it back for no reason.”Harvey poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.“I need to know one thing: how do we solve the entire situation with Ronnie and the others at a complete loss?”Golden Sands was given to Harvey, but this was still his first business in the city.He decided to put in a little more effort. It’d be bad if people talked about his first business here being a flop.“First, we need Ronnie and the others to give up on attacking Golden Estate. When the government turns a blind eye to the increasing prices, everything will be back to square one.”Lola gripped her cup, but she couldn’t take a sip of her tea at all.“That’s impossible. People like Ronnie won’t give up so easily after finding such a good opportunity.”“Second, we must quickly find better land and change our ways to market our products, giving us a better
Harvey pondered for a moment before pointing at the junkyard.“Here.”“As long as we have that land, our real estate business will flourish, We’ll become tycoons of Golden Sands in an instant!”Saul chuckled helplessly.He knew that Harvey was well-versed in geomancy, but he didn’t think that Harvey was all that good at appraising land.Many geomancy experts had already been to the land. Everything was completely ruined because of all the trash surrounding the place.Harvey would turn into the joke of the city if he chose that place impulsively.That said, Saul wouldn’t dare speak his mind since he owed Harvey a huge favor. It’d be too disrespectful if he said anything.“What do you mean by that?” he asked after pondering for a moment.“Simply put, after this, we’ll be the only ones who can sell houses,” Harvey replied.‘What did he just say?’Upon hearing those words, Saul chuckled inwardly, feeling bitter.He quietly cursed Harvey for choosing a land like that so irrespon
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
