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
“Please don’t touch the clothes, Miss! Our products are precious here! We won’t be able to sell them if you dirty them!”Just as Leona was about to take the clothes down, a prideful woman, who seemed like the store manager, strutted over in her high heels with a disdainful expression.Leona froze before she instinctively replied, “I’m sorry. I’d like to buy these clothes here. Can you bring them down for me to try?”“You want to try them on?The manager sized up Leona and was disdainful when she saw her fading shirt.“Are you sure you can buy something this expensive? Why would I even let you try this on?!”“What are you saying?!“You’re talking to the lady of Fortune Hall herself!”Thomas could not help but speak up after hearing those words.“The lady of Fortune Hall?”The manager froze before forcing out a smile.Even someone like her had heard about the news.The Fortune Hall was not as famous as before, but the manager would not dare go against prominent figures like t
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
