“Let me tell you something, Harvey! Even if you go easy on me, I won’t do the same for you!”“Your tricks won’t work on me!”Waylon waved his hand and walked to the table, ready to make a talisman for his curse removal.“Is that so? I’d like to see if your curse would work first, or if my fake kindness will get to you before that.”The evil energy had surrounded Harvey completely, but he didn’t seem affected by it at all.“Did you go easy on this b*stard, Master?” the middle-aged man asked, puzzled.“Even if he isn’t dead, he should be suffering by now!”“How is he still standing?”The man glanced at Waylon’s voodoo doll, then approached it.As soon as he touched the doll, he immediately fell to the ground and shivered. White foam leaked out of his mouth, and he wailed in immense pain.It was frightening. The middle-aged man was clearly experienced, but he was already in a sorry state as soon as he touched the doll.This was enough to prove just how ruthless Waylon’s method
“I…”Waylon choked; he knew Harvey was right.Harvey was already done with his curse removal. Waylon was already at a disadvantage.He stood up, gritting his teeth. He desperately held his body up while glaring at Harvey.“You were lucky you could remove my curse!”“But what’s with yours?”“I’ve already identified your curse! Why can’t I remove it?”“Your talisman could remove the curse I drew,” Harvey explained. “But you missed an important point: your curse and mine are very similar.”“While you deal with all those weird curses, there will be remnants. These remnants will form a Sickness Talisman.”“It won’t kill you, but with your skill, you won’t be able to deal with it.”Harvey looked at Waylon, whose eyes were twitching and expression was horrible.“Stop struggling. Give up already,” Harvey said, amused. “I see! I see now!”Waylon revealed a look of realization after thinking about the situation for a moment.He didn’t anticipate Harvey to set up another trap for
‘Impressive!’‘This is just impressive!’‘I’ve never seen a geomancy expert do that!’Many admiring gazes fell on Harvey. “Master York! That’s insane!”Castiel didn’t even know what to say.“Master York! Master York!” the crowd cheered, excited.The entire hall was shaking furiously.Harvey wiped his fingers with some tissues, then glanced at Castiel.“Get ready to close the shop and tear the sign down.”“Alrighty!”Castiel hopped outside happily, ready to tear down Volton Hall’s sign.Bam!At that very moment, the crowd split apart. A group of people in uniforms strode in.The leader immediately kicked Castiel to the ground.“Who gave you the courage to tear my father’s shop down?”It was a woman with short hair.She looked to be in her thirties. She had a graceful figure, and her uniform gave her an alluring charm.Her femininity aside, she exuded the aura of a proud elite. Many people were following her. Every single one of them bore fierce and prideful expressi
“Geomancy arts are the historical treasures of the country for over five thousand years!”“It’s used to help the people!”“Not to fight!”“Challenging people in this line of work is strictly prohibited!”“Which geomancy shop are you from, young man? State your name!”“I’ll use the law to punish you! I’ll have your shop closed immediately!”“You’re clearly unfit to be a geomancy expert for doing something so reckless!”“If I don’t teach you a lesson right now, you might hurt a lot more people the next day!”Amaia looked as if she was serving justice.She was showing a righteous expression, as if she was in the right.She was convinced everyone had no choice but to obey her—as if she was the queen of the world.Her companions glared at Harvey after hearing her words. Someone even called for more backup to close the Fortune Hall.Harvey smiled calmly.“What’s this? Are you telling me you’re just as shameless as your father?” he taunted. “Who are you calling shameless, you b
Amaia laughed.“Listen closely!”“I’m the captain of the housing department!”“I’m in charge of geomancy shops like yours!”“Are you ready to give up now?”“Why would he?” A calm voice rang from behind. “From now on, you are relieved from your position.”Waylon’s face darkened instantly when he heard those words.“Which one of you b*stards said that?” he yelled. “I’ll rip your mouth off!”“Me, Watson Braff,” Watson said. “Come at me!”‘Watson Braff?!’Amaia’s eyes twitched.She and the others quickly turned around and looked at the entrance.A few people were walking inside, led by a person in a wheelchair.He was a dignified man, though he looked a bit pale. ‘Watson Braff?’‘The director of the housing department?’Amaia was scared witless. She quickly ran toward Watson Braff. “Director Braff!”Slap!Watson didn’t hesitate to slap her immediately.“You were about to rip my mouth off, right?”“Come on, then!”“Now’s your chance!”Amaia’s eyes and mouth were t
“You seem well, but you should be resting at home right now. What brings you here?”Watson Braff showed a stern expression.“There’s no choice. Work’s been busy lately. I have to return to my post soon.“Before that, I wanted to thank you in person. After all, you did save me twice.”Harvey York smiled.“It’s all merely a coincidence. Don’t think about it too much.”Amaia Sacket could not help but tremble on the ground after hearing those words. She was filled with nothing but despair.After recalling her harsh words to Harvey, she wanted to slam her head on the ground so badly.“Right. I heard that you also did my brother a huge favor.”Watson remembered something.Harvey let out a chuckle.“Tell him that he’s being unprofessional. After all, that was supposed to be our little secret.”“Alright, alright.”Harvey talked to Watson about Soren Braff, as if they had some sort of secret…Amaia was completely stupefied after hearing the conversation.‘Why is this b*stard acti
Watson Braff only came to ask for Harvey York’s help to look at the Braff family’s manor before he left.That said, his arrival had guaranteed the outcome of the geomancy fight.An hour later, Waylon Sacket transferred the shop under Harvey’s name.He also had to take his disciples and leave Golden Sands.No matter how resentful he was, he knew he would end up worse if he did not comply. His daughter was completely crushed. Her future would probably be ruined if he kept being arrogant about the situation.Amaia Sacket and the others were about to resign, but Harvey spoke up for them instead, only making them reflect on their actions for three days.It was not such a big deal anyway. On the one hand, Harvey did not want to be this ruthless. On the other hand, he wanted a few more people to help him.After all, he would want to avoid keeping the director of the housing department helping him every single time to deal with people.No matter how much of a favor he was owed, he coul
Not only did Waylon Sacket mess up the entire city’s luck, the families affected by his geomancy would rise for a short while before crumbling again.Harvey York looked at the ledger briefly before realizing why Aston Lee was constantly cursed.He would walk past a wealthy family’s villa daily while taking walks in the park.Waylon had already used his geomancy arts on the family. Since evil energy still gathered outside, weaker people would usually be affected if they walked past the villa.It may seem as if Waylon only tampered with geomancy on the surface, but the energy around the villa would naturally be affected.Since everything was finally revealed, Harvey did not mind dealing with the situation once and for all.While writing a way to solve the problem, Harvey told Castiel Foster to bring people to change the messed up city back to normal.That said, Harvey suddenly frowned after flipping to the ledger’s last pages.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates.Harvey’s head started
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
