“After all, Ostrane Bay only sells the highest-class villas and manors!“Your family is on the verge of bankruptcy! You should understand whether you have the right to be here or not!“You need to be verified before coming here!“If not, who in the right mind would even introduce you to the place?!”Nova Anderson was in anger.She dragged Mandy Zimmer here just to show off in front of her.But she did not expect that Mandy’s arrival would constantly attract Calum Price’s attention.She was annoyed.She feared that her man would instantly ditch her, but she would not dare go against him either. That was why she had no choice but to lash out against Mandy at this moment.Mandy was boiling with anger after hearing those words.“Why would I need to experience this here?“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be here right now! I…”“What?! What?!“You’re unworthy to be here in the first place!Nova let out a scoff.“The houses here are at least fifteen thousand dollars per s
“Enough, Nova! You shouldn’t keep rubbing it in!“This is inappropriate!”Dressed up like a flamingo, Aunt Anderson quickly came to mediate the situation.“Harvey’s just saying that for the sake of his pride!“We can’t just stop him from showing off now, can we?“Besides, we’re people from the upper social circle! What’s the point of arguing with a live-in son-in-law anyway?“We’ll just lower our standards!“We should just pick a house soon! We still have procedures to go through later!“The good units will be sold out once we’re done arguing with him! We’ll suffer if that really happens!Aunt Anderson kept mocking Harvey while she glanced at the tabletop display. Her eyes lit up with admiration when she looked at the massive flat houses and villas.After all, she would not be able to afford those houses. Her dear son-in-law would not spend this much money for no reason either.It would be worthwhile if she even got a relatively small house here.“Alright. You two should he
“Come on, Young Master Price! It’s only thirteen million!Nova Anderson smiled brightly before leaning on Calum Price, being all cute.“That money’s nothing for you, right? I want this one!”Naturally, Nova’s goals were simple. She wanted to bind the man down with the expensive house.After all, she was considered a genius doctor and a wealthy lady.After getting crushed by Darius Jackson and his wife, only the hospital knew about the actual truth for the time being. People who did not know still thought she was a genius.Along with the money Darius gave her to run around high-class venues, many wealthy heirs had been trying to pursue her.Nova picked Calum out of everyone. She wanted to bind him down so she could enjoy the rest of her life in glory and riches.Calum was angry and scared at the same time, but he was an experienced man. He took a deep breath and pretended to take a few pictures before tapping his head.“Nova, I just asked my personal geomancy expert about this.
After seeing Harvey York’s faint smile, Calum Price felt completely disrespected.He gritted his teeth before furiously slamming his card on the table.“I’ll buy it! I’ll buy it right now!“This one here!”Calum pointed at the Number 49 villa.He definitely was unable to fake having forty-four million dollars…But he could still barely afford the house with the special offer.“Right! I’ll handle the procedures immediately!” replied the salesperson respectfully.The purchase agreement was ready soon after. The signatures and blueprints were also placed after that.“You’re so handsome, Calum! I love you ten thousandfold!”Nova Anderson happily grabbed the purchase agreement before wrapping her arms around Calum and kissing his cheeks.‘This man is just so obedient! I can’t believe he bought me the villa!’Calum, who seemed casual about the situation, was bleeding in his heart.He spent almost fifteen million dollars at that moment. The family’s cash flow was utterly gone.H
‘The Number 1 Villa?!’‘That’s a hundred and fifty million dollars?!’The crowd was utterly shocked after hearing Harvey York’s words.Aunt Anderson, who seemed extremely prideful before, instantly froze after seeing the card in Mandy Zimmer’s hand.Nova Anderson could not help but slap herself in the face. After making sure that she was not dreaming, her eyes were filled with a mix of admiration, jealousy, and hate.Even Calum Price, who thought of himself as a man in a wealthy circle, had cold sweats dripping down his back.‘A hundred and fifty million-dollar gift!’He could never afford that villa even if he sold his body!Mandy froze after seeing the marks and patterns on the card.“This is the Number 1 villa?” she instinctively asked.“That’s right,” replied Harvey.“This is my gift to you for our third anniversary.”After hearing Harvey’s words, many people crowded over, admiring Harvey while gossiping up a storm.Everyone was well-to-do, but it was their first time
“I didn’t buy this. It’s…” replied Harvey York instinctively.“It’s who?The manager glared coldly.“You stole this, didn’t you?”Everyone froze before they showed odd expressions in front of Harvey.‘He stole it?’‘Is he insane?’‘He thinks it’s his villa just because he stole a card?’‘He’s crazy!’The more they admired Harvey before, the more they despised him then.They regretted seeing Harvey in that light before. They wanted to go back in time just to slap themselves in the face.Mandy Zimmer lightly frowned before they worryingly looked at Harvey.“You need to take responsibility for this,” Harvey frowned at the manager.“I’ll show you responsibility!The manager snapped his fingers before a few bodyguards came.“This is the Ostrane 1, the top villa of Ostrane Bay!“It’s not for sale, nor is it mortgaged!“This is the villa of our chairman, Darius Jackson himself!“The card should be his!“How did it end up here with you?!“Don’t tell me you picked it up your
“It doesn’t matter if he did it or not! I have the final say here!“Even if Mr. Jackson’s gone insane, he would never sell the Ostrane 1!“You better tell it to us straight, or we’ll send you to the damn police!”The manager looked lecherously at Mandy Zimmer, reaching out to her shoulder so he could cop a feel.Mandy stepped aside with a cold expression.The manager was in a bad mood after seeing that.“I gave you a chance because you’re beautiful, lady!“If not, the both of you might just suffer in the police station!“You’ll be charged for being an accomplice!”Nova Anderson showed a prideful expression after hearing the manager’s words.“We all should know our limits, Mandy!“You don’t have to defend Harvey’s shameless actions for the sake of your own pride!”Mandy was so angry that she was on the verge of passing out.“You…”“I didn’t buy the Ostrane 1, but I didn’t steal it either,” explained Harvey York.“Darius Jackson gave it to me.”Mandy froze. She could not
“I’m here to look at the Ostrane 1,” said Harvey York calmly.“I didn’t think a random manager would just call me a thief out of the blue.“I’m afraid I’ll have Mr. Jackson give me a statement about this.”Mrs. Jackson’s eyes frantically twitched.She slapped the manager down without even hesitating.Slap!“Are you blind, you b*stard?!“Master York is our esteemed guest!“You called him a thief?!“Who do you think you are?!“Are you calling the cops?!“Do you have a death wish or something?!“Get lost!“Get out of here right now!“We don’t need snobs who distort the truth like you!”Mrs. Jackson was enraged.Who was Harvey?He was Chana Jackson’s savior, the Braff family’s important guest, a geomancy expert, and a martial artist. Even Mrs. Jackson was previously crushed and was forced to beg for mercy.And yet a mere manager dared to go against him.‘Is he trying to kill me?!’After all, Mrs. Jackson finally got Harvey’s forgiveness. Darius Jackson would not hesitat
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,
Argh!Bart screamed as he pulled out his dagger from its sheath, wanting to stab Harvey in the gut. However, Harvey would never give him that chance. He spun and kicked Bart in the head.Bart's figure shuddered before being thrown away and slammed into a marble pillar with a bang. The sound of a crack followed, and the marble pillar instantly formed cracks that looked like spider webs as Bart fell to the ground.Bart was emotionally shaken. He wanted to stand up, but he had only crawled up halfway. His legs gave way, and he crawled on the floor again.He was crippled?With just one hit, he was already crippled? Just what kind of a monster was Harvey? The elites from the Second Caste looked at Harvey with mouths agape. They were prideful of their strengths, and many had trained in the Three Great Temples. They all believed they were better than everyone else. Especially Bart, who was one of the prodigies of the Celestial Temple.But when Bart encountered Harvey, he could not even
Bart looked arrogant. The Second Caste had the entire Country I under control and had about a hundred hostages from the Xavier family. How was the pretty boy going to deal with him this way?It must be a joke!"Do something to you?" Harvey turned around and approached Bart. Before Bart could even react, Harvey already lightly patted his face."I'm the one who defeated your squad of so-called prodigies. I was also the one who kicked Julio out of Flutwell. The famous people in Country I are nothing to me. Do you think dealing with garbage like you is challenging for me? Ridiculous."Then, Harvey pulled out a paper towel and wiped his palm in disdain."You bastard…" Bart was instantly infuriated when he finally realized that he had just been slapped in the face by Harvey. He wanted to get the gun on the table to gun Harvey down when he suddenly remembered something. His expression darkened as he narrowed his eyes and glared at Harvey coldly."You're the representative of Country H M
"Watch your mouth, Bart!" warned Yvonne. "Do you really think you've already won? Do you really think no one can do anything about you?"Bart laughed arrogantly and puffed out a ring of smoke. "We are the Second Caste. We are now the rulers of Country I. We have armies amounting to millions and countless assets. Do something about us? I don't believe someone like that even exists. Maybe you can try to do something for me instead? I swear I'll kneel before you!"Bart snickered after he said that. Any man knew what he was talking about.Clap! Clap!At this time, the sound of someone clapping could be heard."I see… I didn't expect the Second Caste from Country I would be so powerful. But I'm not someone who believes in the word impossible… Maybe I can do something to you instead?" Harvey's indifferent voice echoed in the hall as he slowly walked inside, clapping his hands.Zoe's expression froze when she heard that voice. When she saw who was talking, she could not help but shudder
"I don't know whether you're cowards, but all I need to do is send word to Sword Camp about how you disrespect the Chief Instructor. Even if the Chief Instructor isn't here, Ethan from Sword Camp will teach you a lesson!" warned Yvonne coldly."You're using Ethan to scare me?" Bart blurted out a laugh. "Do you think I didn't know Ethan had just been issued a restraining order? Without the Ministry of Defense's orders, he wouldn't dare make a move on us. It's just business… But will your ministry allow it to become an all-out war? How ridiculous! If you're that good, you can kill me here. That way, I'll acknowledge you're at least respectable! What's the point of wasting your breath with me here!"Then, Bart took out a pistol and immediately threw it before Yvonne with an arrogant expression. Yvonne's expression turned dark. It was obvious that she did not expect Bart to be so mad."What? You don't know how to use a gun? Come here, I'll teach you how. All you need to do is to turn th
