Naturally, Lachlan Bree believed Harvey York completely wasted the few seconds he traded with his life.He was filled with nothing but resentment!Harvey reached out to tap Lachlan’s shoulder.“Not bad. At least you have enough backbone not to beg for mercy.“I didn’t want to do anything at first, but for the sake of your courage, I’ll also protect you.”Harvey calmly took a step forward.“Are you kidding me?“Do you want to die?!“Even I’m no match against Skullface! You’re no better!“You’ll die if you go!”Lachlan was boiling with anger after hearing Harvey’s words.He had never seen someone who would trade their lives just to show off!‘Doesn’t he know that Skullface can just kill him off with a single slap?!’Arlet Pagan was worried when she looked at Harvey, thinking he had gone crazy after everything that had happened.The entire Pagan family was filled with rage and anxiety. They had no idea what to even say at that moment.Only Wes Pagan showed a profound look o
“I’ll let you make the first move,” said Harvey York under everyone’s disdainful glares.“You won’t get another chance after this.”Skullface froze before showing a playful expression.“You want me to make the first move?“You’re even cockier than the last guy!“Come! Come! If you can even touch me, I’ll sever my own head for you!”“Fine. You said so,” replied Harvey.He took a step forward.His movements seemed slow but so fast that nobody could even perceive them.Skullface promptly reacted. He was about to make his first move…But he felt extremely sluggish before he could even throw out a punch.Harvey was already in front of him. His finger was already on the man’s throat.It was a simple move, but Skullface could feel an unspeakable sense of fear at that very moment, causing him to quiver instinctively.The place was so silent that you could have heard a pin drop!Phantom’s and the others’ smiles instantly froze. None of them could even say a word.Disrespectful!
‘B*stard!’‘How dare he act so arrogantly?!’If Lachlan Bree had been arrogant previously, then Harvey York’s ego must have gone through the roof!Even Arlet Pagan was utterly speechless.Harvey was a capable man, but he was just too cocky.Phantom finally snapped out of her daze.She took a deep breath before enquiring.“Who are you?!”Naturally, Harvey was just too dangerous!“You have no right to know.”Harvey calmly smiled and stepped forward before reappearing right in front of Phantom.Slap!A loud slap echoed throughout the place.Nobody could even clearly see what had just happened.Phantom frantically tried to retreat, but it was futile.She felt a sharp pain on her face before blacking out. Her entire body was sent flying before smashing onto the spiral staircase.Pfft!A mouthful of blood spurted out before Phantom passed out with utter despair written on her face.Everyone froze.‘That’s it?’‘She’s done?’‘With a single slap?!’‘What is this joke?!’
Naturally, Wes Pagan knew that Harvey York had his reasons to be so discreet to portray himself as a live-in son-in-law and a geomancy expert.It would be unkind if he ruined Harvey’s disguise after saving everyone here.With one wrong move, a great friend would turn into an arch nemesis in a blink of an eye.“Right. We won’t mention Harvey, but we can’t just forget about this entire situation.Wes suddenly remembered something else.“His company’s been trying to get the junkyard in the city, right?“Transfer the two office buildings and land under his name to return his favor.“Another thing. If he desires, give him ten percent of the Archa Corporation as well.”Clearly, Harvey had great investment value for Wes.He wanted to become the closest of friends with people like these.“Right! I’ll look for him tomorrow! I won’t even budge until he signs the papers!” replied Arlet Pagan, nodding lightly.Wes smiled.“Deal with this matter appropriately. We don’t want him to feel
After leaving the villa, Harvey York was sent back to the Regency Building by the Pagan family.Then, he called Thomas Burton to fetch him.Harvey was not too worried about cleaning up the villa.Thomas could smell gunpowder on Harvey, but he was smart enough not to ask questions.The two came to the parking lot before getting inside the car. Right when Thomas started the car, a figure charged right toward Harvey.Harvey squinted, wondering why someone would sneak up on him at that moment.The figure that charged forward instantly kneeled after.Thomas stepped out of the car with a brick in his hand before he froze.“Westin?!” Thomas exclaimed with an odd expression.Harvey also frowned.The person kneeling on the ground was none other than Westin Miller of Deepsky Corporation.He was a rich playboy from a wealthy family, but looking at his entire body in a complete mess was a miserable sight.He also had a broken arm then. Harvey recalled that Westin still had his arm inta
“Forty percent? Three hundred million?“You also want me to bring down the Blazer Estate, don’t you?“Getting those shares won’t be a walk in the park…Harvey York playfully glanced at Westin Miller.“Besides, I’m considered a good citizen in Hong Kong, Mordu, and Flutwell.“Not just three hundred million; I wouldn’t even kill someone for thirty billion dollars!”Westin froze.“Don’t you want to take out Ronnie Lee?“According to my information, you’re pretty close to Saul Robbins and Lola Hoffman!“They’re Ronnie’s sworn enemies!“Besides, he’ll surely come for you after what happened tonight!“Are you still not going to take the initiative after knowing that?”“That won’t be necessary. He doesn’t have the right for me to do anything anyway,” replied Harvey calmly.“He’s completely unworthy.”Westin shuddered after hearing Harvey’s words. His face was filled with nothing but despair.He thought it was pretty impressive of him to devise such a plan to deal with Ronnie…
Because of the smell of gunpowder, Harvey York did not return to the Zimmer family’s villa.Instead, he headed back to Fortune Hall and slept in his room there.On the next day, early in the morning. Harvey practiced some of his martial arts in the courtyard.Thirty minutes later, Leona Foley had already prepared some food and drinks when he returned to the main hall.Castiel Foster came after before the three had breakfast together.When they were halfway done with their food, fearful screams could be heard.“Master York! Master Foster! Help!”Harvey and Castiel quickly put down their teacups and rushed toward the commotion.An elderly lady was kneeling at the entrance.The man who liked strolling around graveyards was lying on the ground behind her.The man’s face was as green as grass when he kept gasping for air. His entire body was also twitching during the process.It seemed like he saw something that he should not have.Castiel swiftly pulled out a talisman and burne
“Where did this come from?”Harvey York frowned.“At the park where the two took their morning runs.“There’s a footprint on it. It looks like the man’s footprint to me.“He must’ve stepped on this. That was why everything happened this morning.“I looked into it as well. Other than a few mysterious clubhouses, no graveyards are around.”Castiel Foster then set the paper doll on the ground with a confused look.Harvey lightly nodded before getting Castiel to put the doll on the table. After squinting at it for a long while, he lit the doll with his lighter.Fwoosh!The doll burst into flames with a hint of ink written on it. That said, it was barely visible after the constant rain pouring on it.Judging from the burn marks, Harvey was sure that it was the same kind of paper doll that cursed Watson.“So, it really is Evermore…”Harvey muttered to himself. He had a feeling that Evermore already made extensive preparations in Golden Sands, but there was not enough evidence to
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,
