“I believe you, but I also believe my family would have the power to fix this!” exclaimed Soren Braff coldly.“Maybe in your eyes, you were the one who turned the tide of my brother’s life!“But for me, you’re clearly harboring ulterior motives!“You better hope that I’m wrong.”Then, Soren gave Harvey York a firm pat on his shoulder.Naturally, he would be able to dislocate any ordinary man’s shoulder with that strength.It was not that he had anything personal against Harvey. He only wanted Harvey to know just how powerful the Braff family actually was.Tap!Soren’s body trembled before he showed utter disbelief.Harvey stood completely still, but Soren felt he had just tapped his hand on a metal plate.The massive shock he felt on his hand trembled all the way to his chest to the point where it made him cough up blood.‘Damn! He’s an expert martial artist!’“I suggest you save some strength, Director Braff.Harvey smiled faintly before he brushed aside Soren’s hand.“I
Right when the siblings were filled with utter disbelief while deciding that they were going to be in Harvey York’s good graces…A huge group of people gathered around Fortune Hall’s gazebo.Cliff Saban handed Harvey a cup of tea with a bright smile.“You’re in luck, Sir York!“With the car, you can do whatever you want in Golden Sands now!”Dariel Jackson showed a faint smile.“I heard that there was a first-in-command who’d visit a geomancy expert every week, broadening his connections in a short amount of time.“I didn’t believe it before, but now I do.“No wonder everyone says that a true geomancy expert is the king of the underworld!”Harvey casually smiled.“Watson Braff and I are just friends. That’s a little exaggerated, don’t you think?“It’s fine when we talk about this now, but make sure the talk stays here.”Thomas Burton leaned over with an impressed look on his face.“You don’t know the Braff family, Sir York?“They’re one of the Hermit Families we’re talkin
“Simply put, if we’re talking about finances…“The Pagan family, the Robbins family, and the Jackson family had riches in different ways that could rival countries.“If we’re talking authority…“The Bolton family and the Gibson family are like the city’s great protectors! With them around, nobody would dare do anything to threaten the city!“That said, the one true powerhouse is still the Braff family!“The family is filled with extraordinary talent!“Watson Braff’s grandfather, father, and eldest brother were first-in-commands of the city before!“Two of the elders have already retired, but their influence on the government is still immense.“Watson’s brother was also just transferred to a higher position in Wolsing.“As for Watson and Soren Braff, you don’t need me to explain them anymore.“Other than that, countless people from the family also have important roles to play within the government!“Safe to say that the government of the city belongs to them!“That said, the
Dariel put down his phone before speaking.“Sir York, I heard that he’s gotten really close to your wife recently. Should I send my men to castrate him?“If it were me, I’d just have him buried at this point!” said Cliff Saban.“All you people think about is stuff like this.Harvey York let out a sigh.“I don’t like playing with underhanded tactics.“If we want him dead, we’ll get him fair and square.“I don’t want anyone to give him an excuse to think otherwise.“That’s why I’ll handle this myself.”Then, Harvey gave Arlet Pagan a call.“I need to buy something, Arlet. I have three hundred million on me right now, so don’t hold back…“Remember, I want an invoice.”***Six o’clock in the afternoon, in front of Zimmer Enterprise.Luxury cars were driving all around the place. It was the evening rush hour.Harvey leaned on the side of the road with a laundry bag, as if he was another one of the scavengers on the street.He squinted at the pedestrian crossing while he pati
A shame that the plan was never going to succeed because of Harvey York’s appearance.“So, it’s the live-in son-in-law!Alma John clearly recognized Harvey’s face when she showed a disdainful expression.“I was wondering why someone would be this unprofessional at blackmailing people!“I understood why immediately after seeing your damn face!“Let me tell you something! Your plans are futile!“More importantly, have you considered the consequences of going at us like this?”“Let’s not talk about if I’m actually trying to blackmail you or not. Even if I am, I don’t think I’ll be dealing with any consequences either…” replied Harvey calmly.“You…”Alma was boiling with anger after being talked down. She wanted to take a bite out of Harvey so badly at this moment.Silas John, who had remained quiet the entire time, curiously looked at Harvey.“Sir York? What a coincidence!“What? You’re here to ask for trouble when I’ve been hanging out with your wife? Are you getting mad or s
“This isn’t about that. You’re going to pay for my losses,” Harvey said calmly as he studied Silas’s arrogant expression.Silas laughed coldly.“I’m paying for your losses, you say? Are you out of your mind?”Alma quickly took out her phone.“You’re trying to cause us trouble, aren’t you?”“Fine! I’ll get the cops here to deal with this!”“We’ll see how you’ll get out of the situation after that!”“After all, blackmail is a big crime!”Alma excitedly dialed the three numbers. It would be so cathartic to send the live-in son-in-law straight to jail!“Hurry up already,” Harvey urged.“You should be giving your way to pedestrians on pedestrian crossings. This is the law.”“Also, you’ll have to take responsibility for my losses if you run into me. This is also the law.”“The police will surely give you a lesson about this once they arrive.”Harvey’s calm words were filled with a dominant aura. Silas’s pupils shrunk and he suddenly found it hard to breathe, as if he was having
“I’m so sorry, Young Master John. We’ve carried out a full investigation of the situation this time. You’ll have to take full responsibility for this.”Silas’s daydreaming was interrupted when a bald inspector looked at the footage they acquired and said that to him.“According to traffic laws, you should be the one paying for Mr. York’s losses.”The smile on Silas’s face froze instantly. He didn’t expect something like this to happen.He wanted to say that Harvey was working with the police, but he knew that the cops were sent here randomly. Nothing here could prove what Silas was thinking.Him spouting random nonsense would only dig him into a deeper hole.Realizing that, his face turned cold.He didn’t think that squashing a live-in son-in-law would be this hard.“What the hell are you thinking?!”“This isn’t our fault at all!”Alma was stomping the ground furiously, screeching like a petulant child.“He’s just a useless piece of crap! He was trying to blackmail us, and n
“The market value of this in Hong Kong and Las Vegas is three hundred million dollars.”“I bought this from Archa Corporation for the same price.”“The receipt’s right here.”Harvey opened the bag, pouring the shattered porcelain to the ground before showing the receipt inside.“I was supposed to give this to my wife.”“And then what happened?”“You destroyed it!”“Do you think fifteen thousand dollars is enough to fix this?”“Are you taking advantage of me?”“Of course, you can call anyone to confirm this if you don’t believe me!”‘Three hundred million?!’The siblings froze, and their faces turned completely purple.The inspectors were speechless as well, thinking that Harvey was simply ruthless.‘How are we supposed to fix this?’Harvey did get on the pedestrian crossing, and was supposed to be let through. This was the law.He had a receipt for his invaluable porcelain as well.Simply put, all the evidence Harvey had was no less than perfect.Even if he was suspect
