The other shopping guides showed righteous looks after hearing those arguments.‘Not only can they not buy the clothes, but they’re also causing us all this trouble!’Leona Foley was a little angry at the sight.“What kind of manager are you, Henley Johnson?!“What’s the point of treating us like this?!“Do you really think we can’t buy the clothes?!”“Treating you like this?Henley let out a chortle.“You overestimate yourself, Miss.“Do you think you have the right to say something like that?“I’m one of the Golden Managers here! I earn hundreds and thousands of dollars every single year!“You? You’re just a woman with a faded shirt! Stop pretending to be rich already!“Even if you’re going to buy clothes, this is not somewhere you should be right now!Then, Henley pointed toward the street outside.“Just walk here for a while, and you’ll see a lot of stalls around soon enough!“You only need a few dollars per clothing as well! You’ll definitely be able to afford it!
“All of it?Henley Johnson showed a disdainful glare before she burst out laughing.“Does he think he’s a wealthy heir or something? He’s just a kept man!“Do people have no self-awareness nowadays?!“If he can even afford a sock in that store, I’ll admit defeat!”After all, many of the rich and powerful would not even dare buy anything from the Elegant Edge.‘A kept man wouldn’t even have the money for this!’A large group of shopping guides and customers quickly came over to watch Harvey York make a joke out of himself.The staff from the Elegant Edge hesitated when they looked at each other, but they decided to fully serve Leona in the end.Soon after, every piece of suitable clothing was chosen. Dozens of bags with clothing worth millions of dollars were filled.Beep!A small receipt popped out as soon as Harvey casually swiped his card.“Huh?!”Everyone around was completely shocked.The shopping guides and guests were filled with utter disbelief. They were all showi
When Harvey York and the others returned, a dozen cars were already gathered around the place.The police, the housing department, and even the street department were there.Simply put, those people represented the government’s joint law enforcement.Dozens of people in uniform were completely surrounding the place, laying their hands on everything with fierce looks on their faces.Someone was even driving their excavator with a righteous yet distant gaze.Two bald men were standing in the very front. One of them was taller than the other. The other was a little stockier.The tall one was wearing the uniform of the housing department with a tag on his chest labeled ‘Samson Lee’. The chubbier man was an inspector of the police department called Cyrus Bierstadt.The two were usually employed by the government together to sweep out any illegal buildings.Their target for the day was none other than Fortune Hall itself.Cliff Saban did not show up but had already told his subord
“Scamming people?”The customers were shocked.“There must be some mistake, Inspector!”“Yeah! Fortune Hall’s been around for so many years now! At this point, everyone in the locality is an old customer!“More importantly, they don’t even take any money!”“How are they supposed to scam people?!”“Yeah! Fortune Hall’s been here since the Whip Dynasty! What do you mean that there are illegal documents?!”“Are you people cursed or something? Are your heads okay?”Everyone burst out laughing, thinking that Samson Lee and Cyrus Bierstadt were making a mountain out of a molehill.“We represent the law! Don’t you see?!“This place is a huge scam! People will die for this!“How can you not understand this?!”Samson’s face instantly darkened before he screamed at the crowd, “Go! Get out of here before I also arrest all of you for the investigation!”“You people have no say whether the place is a scam!”“Yeah! This place has been for the locals since the beginning! It’s fine as lo
After being utterly disrespected, Samson Lee was showing a horrible expression on his face. He wanted to lash out but could not find a reason to.Scared that nobody was getting an easy way out of the situation, Thomas Burton quickly walked out with a forced smile.“It’s all just a misunderstanding, Director Lee!“That said, we can’t just let everyone come here for nothing, right?“I’ll arrange a feast for everyone at noon! I’m sure we’ll all be happy about it!”“A misunderstanding?! Bullsh*t!Samson kicked Thomas aside.“If you keep yapping and try to bribe us again, I’ll charge you for obstructing the law!“I’ll make you live behind bars for the rest of your life!”After seeing the ruthless man throw out accusations without shame, Thomas’ expression changed.As soon as he was about to say something, Harvey York waved his hand to stop him.“Enough, both of you. Fortune Hall has every single piece of document that you need. I also have certificates to validate my work experie
Soon, Harvey York and the others were all taken inside the government vehicles.Even their phones were confiscated, preventing them from contacting the outside world.Voom voom voom!Harvey’s phone suddenly rang while on the road. An unknown number was showing on the screen.Cyrus Bierstadt annoyingly swung the phone around before picking up the call.An apologetic and respectful tone could be heard from the other side.“Hello! Is this Master York? I…”Cyrus let out a cold chuckle.“Enough! Harvey doesn’t even have the credentials to open up his business! We’ve already arrested that man!“You best not look for the damn con man anymore!“He’s about to be locked up!”“I’m Watson Braff. Who the Hell are you?”A cold tone could be heard from the other side.“Why does it even matter to you?!Cyrus was boiling with anger after hearing the aggressive tone.“I’ll arrest you too, if you keep yapping! I’ll track your down through your phone if I have to!“Hmph!”Cyrus then immed
“What’s with this attitude, you b*stard?!“Hmm?!Samson Lee was enraged after seeing Harvey York’s harsh attitude.“I’ll f*cking skin you alive!”Right as Samson was about to act, someone from outside quickly knocked on the door before a nervous-looking inspector entered.Cyrus Bierstadt, who seemed calm and collected, waved his hand to stop Samson before looking over.“Did Harvey’s friends spill the tea?“We know who those people are now, Director!” the subordinate exclaimed.“Good. Some people just won’t give up until they see some evidence…Cyrus showed a prideful look before glaring at Harvey, trying to pressure him. That said, it was clearly for nothing since Harvey completely ignored him.“Talk! Tell this man who those people are so he understands just how fast we work!”“Director…The subordinate hesitated.“The one cleaning the restroom is called Dynamo. He’s one of the bosses of Newgate Chamber of Commerce with dozens of gangsters under him…” he replied quietly.
After scolding his subordinate, Cyrus Bierstadt glared at the person who started everything, Samson Lee.Samson showed a horrible expression on his face.Cyrus was the one who told him that Harvey York was just a live-in son-in-law.Why would someone as ordinary as that have this many capable people working under him?This just was out of the ordinary!“Are your heads getting numb? Are your backs sweating?”Harvey calmly opened his eyes with a playful expression.The show was just about to start.Samson could not hold his anger back after hearing Harvey’s ridicule.He furiously slammed the table, screaming at Harvey, “Stop showing off, you b*stard!“Do you think you can get out of here in one piece just because you know a few rich people?!“Let me tell you something!“You got here because you’ve been scamming people! Even God won’t be able to save you!“I said so!“I suggest you admit to your crimes before things get way worse!”Samson believed that the person behind him
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
With an icy demeanor, Vaida said slowly to Coco, "What if I say no?""No?" Coco looked at Vaida as if she didn't know what was good for her. "What right do you have to say no? If you know what's good for you, you'll sell me Port View Restaurant cheap right now! Once my brother takes over, this place will ultimately become mine! Stop treating yourself like you're the owner here."Even the Belladonna Cult thinks you're just a madwoman, and that they should support my brother fully. Who do you think you are now? If it weren't for your father's reputation, everything the Belladonna Cult owned would have been confiscated by the city a long time ago! You’re just a schizophrenic woman… Do you really think you're anyone important?"I'll give you three seconds to get the hell out of the Supreme Chamber! Otherwise, I'm going to teach you a lesson!""I dare you to say that again," Vaida hissed.Her eyes turned even colder."A long time ago, Dan was the one begging my father, kneeling in fr
“However, if it's discovered that you have taken even a single cent from Port View Restaurant… I'm sorry, but I’ll have no choice but to send you to jail.”Vaida extended her finger and slowly mimicked slitting her throat.Upon hearing these words, Tina began to shudder, her face as pale as a sheet.Harvey gave an approving nod. Vaida was efficient and also dealt a powerful emotional blow. She stood on moral high ground, what she did was enough to infuriate Coco. All this while, the Parkers had treated Port View Restaurant as their asset. Coco might even be one of those who embezzled funds from the restaurant. If Vaida sent Tina to prison, this would indeed be very interesting.Tina's face was pale at that moment. She instinctively looked at Coco, trembling as she begged, "Princess Coco…"It was obvious that she believed only Coco could save her now. Coco furrowed her brows, and her expression darkened. She stared coldly at Vaida."No need to audit the accounts. I can tell y
"According to the rules, this place won't have anything to do with you anymore in the future!" Coco said confidently in front of everyone, wanting to shame Vaida publicly.Vaida spat icily, "According to the agreement, only when I can't find my man of destiny within the appointed time will all the Belladonna Cult's assets go to Dan. Unfortunately for you, I have already found him. From that moment onward, everything the cult owns has nothing to do with Dan anymore. Do you understand? But of course, if you think this place doesn't belong to me…"You can call the Seven Families Joint Meeting, and we can discuss this at length. Let's see who owns the Belladonna Cult's assets."Coco's expression turned a little colder after hearing that. However, she retrained her emotions and smiled brilliantly. She knew very well according to Grand City's rules, since Vaida managed to find her man of destiny, Dan would never be able to take over the Belladonna Cult's properties.But what if her man
"Vaida, Grand City is now governed by laws. It's not right to start hitting people here, isn't it?"Just as Tina was about to crawl away, the clacking of high heels came from the entrance. A faint scent of perfume wafted through the air with a somewhat seductive tang.Harvey instinctively looked at the entrance. Elegantly dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing. A gorgeous woman in her twenties led the entourage.Not only were her facial features exquisite, but she also had quite a curvaceous physique. There was an air of superiority surrounding her, as if she could easily overshadow everyone else. She was wearing the most fashionable black dress, showcasing her long legs and demonstrating her perfect curves.While this woman wasn't very mature, she was full of charm and allure. To use a more modern term, she was obviously quite the player and skilled at charming men. She was none other than Coco Parker, princess of Parkerville.The moment Tina saw that woman, she
Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip
"I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia
