Kellan had an odd look on his face; he didn’t know what to say.He realized that he had completely underestimated Harvey.Ronnie clearly was going to leave, but Harvey still stood up to disrespect him.Nobody knew if Harvey was just utterly ruthless or powerful enough to deal with a small fry like Ronnie.The other customers were completely shocked to see it.Naturally, none of them could believe someone would act this arrogant in front of Ronnie in a place like Golden Sands!“You ruined p my entire meal, dirtied my clothes, and ruined my mood,” Harvey said with a righteous look on his face.“And you think you can just walk away like this?”“For Kellan’s sake, I won’t argue with you.”“As long as you kneel and pay 1.5 million dollars, I’ll let it slide.”“If not, I’ll have you lying on the ground outside.”The entire crowd was shocked by what Harvey had said.They all stared at Harvey, filled with disbelief.‘He’s nuts!’‘He’s actually nuts!’‘When did a live-in son-in-l
“You’re from the Lee family, aren’t you, kid?”Wes crossed his arms while glaring coldly at Ronnie.“Have you asked for your father’s permission before acting so cocky?”“Call him. Ask him if he dares to even speak to me like this.”Ronnie’s eyes twitched frantically. He quickly bowed, gritting his teeth.“I’m sorry, Mr. Pagan! I drank too much! I’m sorry for speaking like this!”“I won’t do it again!”“I don’t need your apology. Kneel to Sir York.”“I’ll let it slide if he forgives you.”“If not, we’ll settle all of our scores today!”Henley’s eyes twitched without pause.‘Isn’t Harvey just a live-in son-in-law? Isn’t he just some random filth?!’‘Why does he even have someone legendary like Wes covering his back?!’Harley’s expression worsened.She thought she’d be able to crush Harvey easily if she sold her body to Ronnie…However, she finally realized that Harvey was way more trouble than she could ever expect!Ronnie’s expression changed frantically; he didn’t want
Not only was Ronnie slapped in the face, he was also slapped to the ground.Henley and the others were completely shocked to see it.Henley couldn’t help but slap herself in the face to make sure she wasn’t dreaming.Harley was filled with disbelief.She couldn’t believe the fact that every time she challenged Harvey, thinking she’d be able to get the upper hand, he’d bite her in the back.Her high and mighty attitude would never accept that.She wanted Harvey to feel fear. Thus, she wanted to cling to Ronnie. She wanted Harvey to beg for mercy, and not be in such high spirits.“How dare you, Harvey?!”Ronnie stumbled off the ground.“Do you think I’m scared of you?!”“Do you think I’m an easy target for you to push around?!”“I’m warning you…”Slap!Harvey slapped Ronnie in the face once again.“Warning me what?”Ronnie was in a daze after being slapped around for so long.“What do you want?”“Kneel and apologize!”Harvey swung his palm forward.“Then pay up!”“Are
Ignoring authority and background…Ronnie was sure he could take out ten Harveys.‘Without Wes, Harvey’s dead for sure!’“Don’t get too cocky, Harvey!”“I’ll definitely kill you when I get the chance!”Ronnie stood up before speaking up in a voice only he and Harvey could hear.“I’ll kill every single person you hold dear as well!”“I’ll burn all of your ancestors to the ground!”“I’ll settle scores with you sooner or later!”“Is that so?”Harvey chuckled calmly before kicking Ronnie down in front of everyone.Wes and the others were completely speechless to see it.‘Does this guy really have a death wish? Why would he still threaten Harvey now?’Harvey smiled.“I’ll wait for you.”“But remember…”“I kept you alive for Mr. Pagan and Kellan’s sake.”“Next time, it’ll be a different story.”Ronnie glared at Harvey with a wretched look.He swallowed his anger before stumbling his way out of the place.Henley and Harley’s beautiful faces were filled with resentment and
When Kellan left, Harvey approached Wes with a smile.“Thank you for showing up tonight.”“Without you, I would’ve been in a little trouble.”Wes burst out laughing.“You’re too kind, Sir York.”“It’s only natural for me to help when you’ve already saved my life.”“Besides, you wouldn’t be in any sort of trouble even without my help anyway.”“I’m only putting the icing on the cake at this point.”Naturally, Wes knew Harvey was a discreet man.It’d be embarrassing for Harvey if he wasn’t able to deal with the mess on his own.Arlet walked toward Harvey, then leaned into his ear.“You should be thanking me instead, Harvey!”“I was the one who took the shots! You would’ve been gunned down by Ronnie’s men if it wasn’t for me!”Harvey chuckled.“Sure. Thanks for that.”“How about this? I’ll give you a month off. Come back to work after that.”“You!”Arlet was speechless.“You stingy man!”“I saved your life, yet you still won’t cancel the damn bet?! I’ve never seen such a
Arlet popped out from the side before speaking up.“You should look at me too, Harvey!”She quickly leaned towards him.Harvey nodded with a smile, then studied Arlet.“That’s strange. Your luck isn’t supposed to be that good…” he said with a frown.“Other than your luck in fortune, you’ve been having good luck in terms of romance as well.”“Did you meet a man you like recently?”Arlet froze.“No. I haven’t seen anyone, but…”Arlet’s face went bright red, and she stopped herself.Harvey couldn’t be bothered to expose her after seeing her looking so nervous.He took another look at Arlet before frowning again. A hint of dead air was hanging on her as well.It looked completely identical to the one on Wes.“Is something wrong, Sir York?” Wes instinctively asked after seeing the look on Harvey’s face.Harvey smiled.“It’s not that big of a deal. That said, it’s still better to take precautions.”Harvey then drew something for Arlet and told her to keep it safe.Arlet was
The moment Wes and Arlet showed up, the arrogance on the man’s face dissipated quite a bit.“Come, come. Let me introduce you.”“This is Lachlan Bree, Arlet’s martial arts senior.”“He comes from one of the mysterious sacred martial arts training grounds. He’s an outstanding man from the younger generation of martial artists!”Wes passionately introduced Lachlan to Harvey.Arlet giggled upon hearing those words.“My senior’s pretty impressive, Harvey!”“He can break a few bricks at once with a single chop!”Lachlan smiled faintly, looking at Arlet like he was gazing at his private property.It was clear he had feelings for his junior.Wes, on the other hand, had no idea what the young’uns were thinking at all.“Young Master Bree, this is Harvey York. He’s well-versed in terms of geomancy arts.”“You can ask him to help if you get in trouble. You might just be surprised.”Harvey nodded at Lachlan to show his sincerity.Lachlan’s gaze turned a little colder when he saw Harv
Wes’s attitude clearly showed that Harvey was way more important than Lachlan.Lachlan looked at Wes, holding back his pride and not saying a word.Even so, he still scoffed coldly at Harvey.“We’ll take care of everything here. Don’t do anything stupid, and listen to our orders!”“With us here, not just Mr. Pagan and Arlet, but you’ll be fine as well.”“So just keep yourself hidden!”“We won’t take responsibility if anything happens to you!”Harvey smiled calmly as he looked at Lachlan’s prideful expression.“I won’t do anything as long as Mr. Pagan and Arlet are safe.”A disdainful look appeared on Lachlan’s face.The two beautiful women behind her were filled with nothing but disgust as well.‘Who does he think he is?’‘It’s already bad enough that he’s scamming people for a living, but he’s even getting involved in the underworld!’‘That’s just insane!’‘He’ll probably burst into tears the minute he sees blood…’After a few minutes, the car in the private garage drov
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
Bart coughed out a mouthful of blood after being slapped. Even a few teeth were in the blood as he looked completely out of his element. He wanted to stand up and fight against Harvey until the end, but he finally discovered that his arrogance and power meant nothing before Harvey."Harvey! You've crossed a line!" Zoe finally could not sit still and threw the cup she held onto the floor. Then, she pointed his finger at Harvey and yelled, "Do you even know what you're doing? Don't you know we have hundreds of hostages? Do you think we're still fighting in an arena in Flutwell?"So what if you can fight? So what if you're the representative? The Second Caste succeeded in a military coup! We have millions of soldiers and countless weapons! No matter how powerful you are, do you think they're more powerful than modern firearms? Regardless of your influence, do you think it's enough to suppress a country? No matter how rich you are, can you buy the entire Country I?"I'm warning you now,
