Saul Robbins could not tell what Watson Braff was trying to imply.“No need to hold back! We’re all friends here!“Please, Sir York!“He’s just being a little prideful, is all!”Watson helplessly accepted Harvey York’s help for Saul’s sake.“Fine. Please take a look at me then.”Harvey already felt dead air seeping out of Watson’s body when the two made contact.What is dead air?Simply put, a person would be filled with gloom when their luck gets extremely bad despite being healthy.Dead air would normally show on elderly people on the verge of death…But the people who are destined to die would have the same look.Typically speaking, dead air was a sign of a person’s imminent death.If it were not for Watson’s high position in the government balancing the dead air inside him, he would have been dead a while ago.That said, Watson’s life was only temporarily preserved.He would not be able to survive for long if the dead air inside him got stronger.While Harvey was loo
Harvey York lightly nodded with a smile on his face.“That’s right. Or rather, it’s the car that has a problem.”“If you don’t mind, would you mind letting me take a look at the car?”Watson Braff scoffed after hearing Harvey’s words.That said, he did not just scream in anger at this point. He kept his composure for the sake of his high status. “This guy sure knows how to act, CEO Robbins,” said Watson with a smile after heaving a sigh.“I’ll treat this as a comedy show…“But there will be no second time.”His words had another meaning. He would no longer hold back if Saul Robbins kept getting people like this to fool him.Saul hesitated when he saw Harvey’s calm expression.“Director Braff, Master York wouldn’t joke about something like that.“I suggest that you hear him out.”If this were before Harvey drew the map, Saul and Lola Hoffman would have been doubtful as well…But they completely believed him after hearing such a serious tone from him.Lola quickly sent sig
“I won’t argue with you for Saul and Lola’s sake!“But if there’s a next time, don’t blame me for what happens!“I’ll be leaving now, you two!“We’ll talk another time!Then, Watson Braff picked up his car key before leaving with a horrible look.In his eyes, it was already bad enough for Harvey York to become a con man at such a young age, yet he even dared to try fooling a government official like him.‘This is just unreasonable!‘He must have a death wish or something!’If it were not for Saul Robbins, he would have slapped Harvey to death already.At the same time, he decided to get someone to investigate the Fortune Hall no matter what, to see if the operations there were legal.He would completely shut down the place if he found anything fishy, stopping Harvey from stealing anybody’s money.“Watson!“Watson!Saul immediately stood up after seeing a fight break out.“Don’t go!“Sir York wouldn’t lie to you like this!“You need to believe him!”“You’re from one of
Saul Robbins hesitated for a moment.“Watson belongs to one of the Golden Sands’ Hermit Families, the Braff family.“The family built an entire capital here during ancient times.“Out of all six Hermit Families, they were the ones that flourished the most.“The family rarely did any sort of business. Their authority was also way above the imperial court…’’Harvey York lightly frowned before showing a profound look on his face.He noticed that an invisible hand had been going against the Hermit Families during these days.That said, he could not quite figure out the connection between the families and himself.He had some speculation but nothing concrete.After leaving Saul and Lola, Harvey returned to the Fortune Hall to supervise the renovations along with helping a few customers. Then, he left soon after.He returned to the Zimmer family’s villa and opened the living room window before seeing a Maserati right outside the entrance.Silas John’s face could be seen after he r
Harvey York let out a sigh.“Would you believe me if I told you that we’re just friends?”Mandy Zimmer’s gaze turned colder.“Would you believe me if I told you Silas John and I were just friends?”“That isn’t the same,” replied Harvey.“What’s different?Mandy showed a scornful smile.“Silas even hesitated when he gave me the pictures, saying that he might just ruin our relationship because of this!“But judging from this, I’m sure there’s nothing to ruin anymore!“Let me tell you something!“My secretary took my car for a service!“After Silas and I were done talking business, he sent me home on his way back!“I have nothing to hide, unlike someone else!”Harvey felt slightly angrier after hearing Mandy’s insinuating words, but he managed to keep it down.“I believe you, but I don’t believe Silas is a good man. Can’t you tell?”“Enough of this, Harvey! I can tell if he’s good or bad myself!Mandy was boiling with anger.“I want you to change! That was why I showed yo
“Geomancy?“Master York?“A shop?Mandy Zimmer pinched the card with rage showing in her eyes.“What’s the meaning of this?“You don’t find a proper job, yet you come out as a con man?!“I’ve never heard of you getting into geomancy arts for the longest time!“Do you understand just how important this line of work is?!“You can’t just take people’s money after saying a few things to trick them!“You’ll kill a lot of people with this! Do you understand?!After looking at Harvey York’s title, shop name, and teachings…Mandy was utterly enraged.‘He never does anything properly!Back in Buckwood, Flutwell, and Mordu, Mandy thought that Harvey was actually quite a talented man…But after coming here and seeing him and Kairi Patel being so close to each other, along with the so-called name card, Mandy could not help but doubt him.‘He did all that just to fool me!‘Everything he showed was just an illusion made to fool the family!‘The person who made it all possible was no
On the next day, early in the morning. Harvey York already left his room.He hesitated when he walked past Mandy Zimmer’s room. He did not want to knock on the door in case a fight were to break out again.Lilian Yates was on a call with someone when Harvey came to the living room.She looked away, with disdain showing on her face, as soon as he walked past.Naturally, she knew why he was fighting with Mandy the night before. She had been talking about his shameless acts on the phone for the longest time.Harvey glared at Lilian without saying a word before he left. Right as he was heading out, Lilian mentioned Aunt Anderson’s name.Harvey was confused.‘She’s still talking to Aunt Anderson?’After all, Lilian should have been completely against her after what had happened last time.Harvey did not pay much attention since it was a trivial matter. He quickly got inside his car before driving to Fortune Hall.“Have you eaten breakfast yet, Sir York?”Leona Foley was already a
Leona Foley understandingly nodded.After having some snacks and a sip of hot tea, Harvey York showed a smile on his face.“Right! Since it’s all settled, let’s buy a few clothes at the shopping mall tonight.“You’re my spokesperson, after all. You have to look the part.“You’ll be tasked with an extremely important project! The people you’ll meet are either rich or powerful! Don’t let them look down on you!”Harvey did not just make the decision impulsively.Lola Hoffman was already dealing with the junkyard at this point.Everyone was spreading rumors about how insane Lola actually was, but Harvey knew the company would be instantly known as soon as Golden Garden was dug up.It was only normal to dress up Leona appropriately before the occasion anyway.More importantly, Reece Foley was an extremely talented geomancy expert with a valuable house…But he usually would not charge his customers for a large amount of money, nor did he have a lot since most of his savings were us
