“Silas tried to take credit for Mandy’s sake, anyway.”“He loves her too much.”“It’s only natural!”Lilian shamelessly stood up for Silas.“In this day and age, not a lot of men would sacrifice everything for the sake of a woman.”“In my eyes, he’s the best man of them all!”“He’d rather go against everyone in the entire world than the one he loves!”“He’s a rare treasure!”Naturally, Lilian would say anything just to get Mandy with Silas.She twisted Silas’s humiliation and shame into something beautiful, turning him into a romanticist trying to impress his beloved.Simon was rendered speechless by her audacity. It was his first time thinking that his wife was unreasonable beyond hope.Lilian, thinking that she had convinced Simon, glanced smugly at Mandy.“If it were up to me, you should be looking for an opportunity to be with Young Master John!”“Not only will you get rid of Harvey if you marry him, but you’ll have the John family’s support too.”“The ninth branch wi
Soren froze, then grinned. “I underestimated you, Sir York.”“Let’s get back to business, then.”“All your traces from Marlon’s incident have been wiped out completely.”“However, we still need to explain Anthony’s situation.”“What are you thinking?”“At this point, can’t you just give me a Good Citizen Award?” Harvey asked. Soren’s eyes twitched, then he chuckled. “I don’t think that’s enough…”Harvey was right to stand up for what was just. However, there would be quite the dispute if he went to court just because he wanted to save his ex-wife.Even Soren wouldn’t dare give him a Good Citizen Award.Seeing Soren’s bitter expression, Harvey smiled.“Forget it. I won’t make it harder for you,” he said.“Just deal with the case as you should.”“I’ll give you my full support.”“Do you need me to get someone to bail me out?”Soren shuckled apologetically.“I’ve already arranged that for you.”“It’s good enough that you’re not angry about this.”Naturally, Soren knew
Harvey felt someone looking at him when he sat in the car’s passenger seat.He instinctively turned around, and saw the Porsche. Someone was rolling up the car window.“Mandy…”Harvey frowned. He wanted to explain the situation, but the Porsche already drove off.He let out a sigh, knowing that she was angry. He decided to find another opportunity to explain himself before the remarriage was ruined.Realizing that there was something in Harvey’s mind, Kairi stopped teasing him. She quickly left after taking him to Fortune Hall.Harvey didn’t ask for Kairi to stay, either. He started tending to the customers after boiling some tea for himself.On one hand, he wanted to distract himself from other things for the time being. On the other hand, he wanted to grow his business so he could actually attract Evermore.The organization wouldn’t even bat an eye at him if he didn’t have a business like this.Castiel went to the main hall after getting word of Harvey’s arrival. The two wer
“We’ve been married for eight years. We’ve always wanted a child, but we just couldn’t get one,” he said.“We’ve been to every major hospital in Wolsing and Mordu, but we couldn’t find anything…”“A relative told us that it might be because of our lack of energy.”“We need a geomancy expert to help us!”“We heard that Fortune Hall is the oldest place in Golden Sands.”“The owner here is also an impressive geomancy expert.”“Please! Help us take a look!”“We really need a child! Please!”His beautiful wife finally spoke up.“Don’t worry, honey.”“I heard that Fortune Hall’s been passed down to nine different generations. There used to be a prince who couldn’t make a baby during the Whip Dynasty, but he immediately dealt with the problem after consulting with Fortune Hall!”“They can handle everything!”“They won’t disappoint us!”Harvey frowned. Even though the couple spoke highly of Fortune Hall, they were actually planning to put all the blame on the place.Other than de
The customers all looked at each other. They were only here because they were told about Fortune Hall’s impressive feats.They didn’t think that Harvey would actually be this impatient.It was bad enough that he couldn’t solve the problem, but he even told the customers to leave without hesitation.People started to gossip, looking at Harvey with distrust and disdain.Castiel was confused as well.“What are you doing, Master York? Even if we can’t help, we shouldn’t just chase the customers out.”Harvey glared at Castiel. “You’re a little too inexperienced. Today, you need to copy everything from the Centennial Book ten times.”He then took a sip of tea to quench his thirst.“Are you sure you don’t want to leave now?”“It’ll be bad for you if we stay on topic.”The husband glared coldly at Harvey after hearing those words.“What’s the meaning of this?”“Who in the right mind would do business like this?!”“Customers are always right!”“I’ll report you to the housing depar
‘A man?’‘Unable to reproduce?’The crowd froze, then stopped dialing.The couple were stunned. They looked at Harvey with puzzled expressions.“How dare you slander us, you b*stard?!”The husband came to his senses soon after.“My wife’s such a beautiful woman, but you’re calling her a man?”“This is a huge offense!”“I’ll destroy your entire store right now!”“Will you now?”Harvey smiled and slapped the couple to the ground again.“You gave me all the information of a man, then you ask me why he’s unable to give birth?”“And then you demand me to solve the problem?”“Do you think the Centennial Book is just for show?”“Do you think I couldn’t tell?”“You should’ve just said you could give birth instead! I’ll even look for a good date for you!”Harvey kicked the so-called woman to the ground before pulling her scarf away.An Adam’s apple could be seen on him. There was simply no need for an explanation.The crowd went completely speechless.“He is a man! That b*s
Castiel revealed a look of realization.“I see…”“Are we just going to let this slide?”“They came here to cause us trouble! Won’t we seem like easy targets if we just let them be?”“There’s no need,” Harvey replied.“We should give them a chance. After all, it’s only proper to hold back a little.”“Besides, their broken arms must cost a lot of money to fix.”“If they know what’s best for them, they won’t cause us any more trouble after this.”“Of course, if they still have a death wish, I wouldn’t mind playing along either.”“I see!”Castiel nodded. He learned quite a lot just by knowing how Harvey worked.Harvey sipped his tea; he guessed that the couple probably came to test him on Evermore’s behalf. Thus, he didn’t want to attract any unwanted attention.The next few days were smooth sailing for Fortune Hall. The only difference was the increase in customers.A lot of people came all the way here after seeing the news.Harvey didn’t hold anything back when solving the
Harvey quickly drew a talisman with some cinnabar, and lit it up. Then, he dunked it in a bowl of water.He handed the bowl to Aston with a smile.“Here. You might get diarrhea after drinking this, but this should be enough to cleanse your evil energy.”“Drink more water and get some rest. You should be back to normal tomorrow.”“Of course. Thank you, Master York. I’ll…”Aston’s body shivered, and blood started coming out of his eyes. He held his stomach tightly, pointing at Harvey as he trembled.He then slammed to the ground soon after.“W-What did you feed me, you b*stard?”White foam escaped around his mouth, and he stopped breathing. He was no different than a corpse.“Aaah!”The other customers gasped, stumbling back in fear.The women were screaming, frightened. They couldn’t believe their eyes—a man who was still alive a few minutes ago suddenly died!“What’s going on here?”“Is he really dead?!”As soon as someone spoke up, Fortune Hall immediately went dead si
