“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
A group of people in government uniforms showed up outside.The first-in-command of the housing department, Watson Braff, led the group.The person beside him was none other than his brother, the first-in-command of Golden Sands Police Station, Soren Braff!The aura of the two was no less than terrifying.“Director Braff…Cyrus Bierstadt and Samson Lee’s eyes twitched before they sprung out of their chairs to bow.“What brings you two here?“You could’ve just called us! Why even show up on your own?”Watson completely ignored the two before respectfully bowing in front of Harvey York.“Master York! We meet again!“Thank you for your kindness before!“I was being ignorant before!“Please don’t mind me!“I’ll have you ask for your help this time…”Then, Watson took out his car key with horror on his face, afraid that Harvey might reject him.Harvey smiled faintly.“It’s not that I don’t want to help, Director Braff.“I’m being charged for scamming people right now, even
Isis's expression instantly darkened. Harvey's earlier decisiveness had already made her understand that Harvey would pull the trigger."Bend the knee, apologize, and make your vow," Harvey ordered calmly. "I'm growing impatient. Three, two, one…"Without giving Drake a chance to speak, Harvey pulled the trigger again.Clack!The fourth time. It was still a dry fire.Isis's mind was completely blank, and she was blinded momentarily. While she always looked like someone high-and-mighty, she felt like she was nothing in front of everything Harvey had been doing. She thought that she could easily lose her life.Drake was so scared that he was shuddering.While it was still a dry fire, the next time he pulled the trigger, there was a 50% chance of it being a bullet. No matter who Harvey pointed the gun at, that person would have a 50% chance of going to hell."My, they always said that those who are kind live short lives while those who are problematic live a very long life. I didn
"You're threatening me?" Harvey patted Drake's cheek. "I know you must be very haughty, but the problem is that you're right in my hands tonight. Do you think threatening me like that is going to help you? Do you actually think I wouldn't dare to pull that trigger after you threatened me?"I've killed people like you for a dime a dozen. Nothing happened to me anyway. Why am I still standing perfectly fine here? At the root of it, it's because people like you are useless!"Harvey continued in high spirits, "Hey, Drake. Do you want to make a bet? Let's bet that no matter how headstrong you are, you're going to kneel on the ground and beg me to spare your life."Drake coldly replied, "And what's the wager? Your life?"Harvey blurted out a laugh. "No, you're not nearly valuable enough to make me wager my life. But, if you don't beg me until the very end, I can agree to any of your conditions.""Fine. At the time, I'll make you kill yourself!" Drake said as he gritted his teeth. "We'll
"You're that lucky?" Harvey said, his shock palpable on his face. "Alright, one more time."This time, Drake raised his left hand to block the gun's muzzle using all his strength. He believed that if this continued, even if he would not die from a bullet, he would die from the fear alone. "You're scared?" Harvey looked at Drake curiously. "Aren't you the Madman? Aren't you the third in Wolsing out of all the Young Masters? Why are you so afraid of dying? You're so arrogant while harassing my girlfriend. Why are you such a piece of trash now, huh?" Harvey patted Drake's face disdainfully.In that instant, there was only silence. No one expected this man who called himself Journi's boyfriend to be so big-headed. Not only did he dare to threaten Drake, he really wanted to kill Drake. Was he not afraid the Wards of the Northern Land would show him no mercy?But of course, to someone like Journi, while she was surprised, she was mainly touched. She was certain someone like Harvey would
And then, Harvey waved his left hand. The moment when Drake was stunned, the revolver then dropped into Harvey's hand.Once Harvey had obtained the revolver, he spun the cylinder, unlocked the safety, and pointed the revolver around. All the people who were so smug earlier started to scream and tried to find places to hide after being shocked.Harvey's play with the revolver made it obvious that he would discharge it accidentally.Even Isis, who had always been so high-and-mighty, had her expression darkened for a while and hid behind a marble column subconsciously. He who has nothing to lose has nothing to fear. Harvey looked like he had nothing to lose at all.That was why the foreigners all believed that if they were killed by Harvey, even if Harvey was willing to die for his mistake, it was still something they could not accept. After forcing the group away, Harvey then pointed the revolver at Drake's head.Drake's eyes turned cold. "Who are you, kid? Do you think this is som
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?
