Ten minutes later, Harvey York picked up a cup of warm Black Tea in the VIP lounge after washing his hands.The tea was extremely smooth and fragrant.Safe to say that this was delicious tea.This was also Maren Failes’ personal collection.“Pretty good stuff!“If you still have more, send me ten more pounds of this. I’ll also double the price that you bought it for.”Harvey blew into the cup.Maren rolled her eyes after hearing those words.“These are old tree leaves we’re talking about. Only three pounds of leaves are produced per year. I exhausted my connections just to get the ones I have here, and you’re already going through them all!“You want ten more pounds of this?“Keep dreaming!Then, Maren put a real estate certificate and a door card before Harvey.“Mr. Jackson asked me to give this to you.“The Verona One of the Ostrane Bay.“Other than the villa of the government’s first-in-command, there’s no better place than this!“The place is surrounded by mountains
“Fine! Fine!” exclaimed Harvey York after hearing Maren Failes putting the blame on him.“Thank Mr. Jackson on my behalf.”“I got it.Maren showed a bright smile.“Right, Harvey. Since your techniques are that impressive, would you like to be a consultant here?“You’ll receive seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars per year! You don’t even need to do anything most of the time!“I’ll only ask of you during special circumstances.“Besides, that money doesn’t even include the bonuses! I’ll even give you all the earnings for curing the patients you treated! How does that sound?”Naturally, Maren knew just how vital Harvey’s impressive talents were to the hospital.That was why she hoped to bring Harvey in with such high pay.Harvey glanced at Maren. He naturally knew what was on her mind.“Thanks for the offer,” he said while shaking his head.“But like I said, I’m not a doctor.“I only know the art of killing. I only managed to save Ms. Jackson because I got lucky.“I pro
“Not only will I take good care of you, I’ll do my best to give you the entire world!“Just say yes, Mandy!“Even if you don’t want to marry me, at least be my girlfriend!”Silas John showed a sincere look. Along with the face reconstructed through plastic surgery, he looked like he was the male lead of a drama series.Mandy Zimmer frowned after seeing the sight. She was shocked that her business partner would suddenly do something like this.After being dead silent for a moment, Mandy heaved a sigh.“I’m sorry, Young Master John. You’re too kind…“But I only have Harvey in my heart. Nobody else.“I’m grateful for what you did for me.“I’ll get you more benefits for our cooperation. Don’t worry. You won’t be maltreated.“Thank you for saving me from Anthony as well…“But gratitude and feelings are two different things!“I’ll do my best to repay the favor if there’s an opportunity…Mandy sighed.“That said, feeling can’t be forced.“It never ends up well.”After hearing
Along with a loud bang, Harvey York was seen walking inside.“Don’t you know that you’ll get beaten up if you say those things to a woman with a husband?” he coldly exclaimed.“Don’t, Harvey…”Mandy Zimmer froze before she spoke.She was afraid Harvey would hurt her savior.Harvey saw Mandy’s worried expression before glancing back at Silas John.“Since Mandy’s still in one piece, I’ll let you off the hook.“There will be no next time.”“Do you think so?”Silas was not intimidated by Harvey’s threats at all. He believed that Harvey would not dare to lash out in a place like this.“You’ve been acting pretty cocky on the cruise, right?!” whispered Silas after sizing up Harvey.“You’re not coming at me when I was just about to go at your wife?!“What? You’re scared she’ll start pitying me before she finally falls in love?“Don’t worry!“I’ll make sure of that!“Not only will I sleep with your damn wife, I’ll get her to do it willingly!“When that happens, I’ll make you und
Creak!At this very moment, the door was pushed aside.Simon Zimmer, Lilian Yates, and Alma John showed up together.Maya Lee was behind them with two bags in her hands.The moment she saw Harvey, she instantly showed an awkward look.Alma came to her senses first when she saw the chaos.“What are you doing, Harvey?!” she furiously exclaimed, rushing forward before lifting Silas John.“My brother’s just here to visit Mandy! How dare you hit him like this?!“Even if you’re jealous, this is no ground for you to do this!“You and Mandy are divorced!“Even if you’re still the live-in son-in-law, you have no right to get jealous!“If you’re that impressive, why didn’t you save Mandy then? I didn’t see you beating up Anthony like this!”Lilian frowned.“What are you trying to do here, Harvey?!” she coldly exclaimed.“I told you! Unless you make Mandy the head of the Jean family, I won’t agree to the remarriage!“You’re already kicked out of the house! What right do you have to
“I won’t blame you since Mandy’s still in one piece, Harvey…“But you better not push it!“You’d do anything out of jealousy!”A righteous look was showing on Lilian Yates’ face.“No matter how capable you are, do you think you’re actually better than Young Master John?“Apologize to him right now, and we’ll consider it done!“If not, don’t even show up in front of my face ever again!”“We’re giving you enough respect! You better know what’s good for yourself!” exclaimed Simon Zimmer coldly.Harvey could not be bothered to respond to the couple.“Do you also trust that this useless filth can actually save you?” asked Harvey York while looking at Mandy Zimmer.“Do you really?”Mandy hesitated. Her logic told her it would be child’s play for Harvey to save her…But all the proof was already there. At this point, it would be hard for him to try stealing the credit.Harvey knew that Mandy was also fooled by Silas after seeing the look on her face.“Get in here, Maya!”Maya L
Maya Lee’s face had completely lost all color as she kept retreating. She finally bumped into a wall when she gritted her teeth, speechless.“I don’t blame you for this.“You suffered a lot for Mandy that night. You were completely beaten up. You also almost got taken away by mistake.“That’s why I forgive you.“That said, Mandy and I don’t owe you anything anymore.“I believe the John family has given you enough.”Harvey York was not angry, nor was he insulting Maya, but every single word cut into her heart like razors. Silas John quickly gave Alma John a look after seeing Maya was on the verge of collapse.“Stop trying to warp the truth, Harvey!” she exclaimed after stepping forward.“Maya was involved in the situation! My brother’s the one who saved Mandy! She said so!“You can’t protect Mandy, but my brother does!”Lilian Yates let out a cold chuckle.“I can finally see your true colors, Harvey!“You wish everything turned out your way!“I thought you were at least c
Harvey chuckled.“You’d rather trust an outsider than me?”“Trust you? How am I supposed to do that?” Mandy sneered.She shot Harvey a glare of daggers.“The picture’s right in front of me!”“My secretary even told me the truth!”“How do you want me to trust you?”“Harvey York…”“I trusted you too much!”Before Harvey could say anything, a series of knocks on the door took his attention.Several grim-looking inspectors entered.Everyone instinctively turned to look.The inspector in the lead had two badges pinned on his shoulder.“Hello,” he said. “We’re from the Golden Sands Police Station. Here are our credentials.”Lilian stared at them with narrowed eyes, quick to realize they were just a bunch of nobodies.“Is there something wrong?” she asked.“We’ve already talked about Anthony last night, haven’t we?”“That’s right! We told you everything we know,” Simon exclaimed.“What’s the matter?”The inspector gazed coldly at them. “This is a different matter.”“Anth
Blade took a deep breath. He remembered his own duty and stood in front of Clarion, shielding him. Then, he said with a cold expression on his face, "Madam, Mr. Zeon, my apologies. However, as I'm currently the Assistant Hallmaster and Clarion is my superior, it's my duty to protect him. May I ask how he offended the two of you to the point that he pressed the red button?"Blade put on the face of someone who was only doing his job. He was loyal to his duties.Clarion's expression changed. He did not realize that Blade was a Jackson. However, since Blade chose duty over his personal ties, it was enough to calm Clarion down.Whoosh!At the moment when everything was at a standstill, Zeon suddenly stepped forward and appeared right before the crowd. He immediately slapped Blade's face.Slap!He slapped Blade so hard and loud that Blade stumbled backward as he was not on his guard and almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Clarion reacted quickly and helped Blade up. Otherwise, Blade wo
"I'll give you one last chance to answer me. If you refuse, it won't be my fault for not showing you any mercy." Camellia's pretty face became colder as she stared at Clarion before waving her right hand.After what she did, she saw all the security from Platinum Casino stepped forward, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.Clarion smiled. "Looks like not only have you captured him, it doesn't sound like you're going to release him at all. Looks like I mean nothing to you madam!"Camellia sat down back on the sofa as she folded her legs once more. She raised her chin as she looked at Clarion, coldly saying, "You're right. You mean nothing to me. What? Are you going to go mad? Do it, then! Show it to me! I'm curious to see just what our Young Master Clarion Parker can do to make a scene!"Clarion took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Don't blame me for this, then!"After that, Clarion's right hand pulled out a small red button and pressed it.Vroom!As soon as he di
"All your casino shares?" Camellia stroked her chin as she gave Clarion a meaningful smile. "If I remember, they all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the interest you gain annually is also quite substantial. Without that, your worth as the heir of Parkerville will drop significantly."Looks like Hale probably saved your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have paid such a price for a garbage like him," Camellia's eyes were judgmental when she said those words. She stared at Clarion curiously, wanting to see something from his actions and expressions.Unfortunately, Clarion maintained his cool and indifference."Madam, it'll take a long time to talk about the relationship between us. Hence, there's no need for me to explain everything here. All I want to ask is, will you accept this trade?"Camellia once again walked over to Clarion's side and bent closer, whispering in his ears. "Of course I'm willing, since you're offering me so much. Unfortunately, since I don't have Hale
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
