“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
“If it weren’t for him, you would’ve been in jail by now!“I’m giving you one day! If you don’t return the family one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, we’ll get the police involved!“You’ll be locked behind bars!“Now leave!”Mrs. Jackson slapped Nova Anderson across her face. Her face was utterly swollen while she was sent flying.‘I’m finished!‘I’m done for!’Nova fell to the ground, paralyzed. She covered her face when she burst into tears.***While on the way back home, Mandy Zimmer looked confused when she stared at Harvey York.“What exactly did Nova do?“Why did she owe Mrs. Jackson that much money?”“Her daughter, Chana Jackson, got into a car crash. I managed to save her after bumping into the accident.”Mandy froze.“What? How? Do you have any medical skills?”“I don’t. I only dragged her out before her car exploded.“Nova was one of the nurses who came in an ambulance. She took credit, claiming she had saved Chana instead.“That was why the Jackson fami
“It doesn’t matter what you give me, Harvey,” said Mandy Zimmer after seeing Harvey York dejected.“It’s already enough that you remember our anniversary.Harvey lightly nodded.“I called you today to tell you to forget about the past.“I’ll also break ties with Silas.“When Mother gets better, I’ll talk to her as well.“We’ll get remarried soon.“You shouldn’t argue with her either, okay?”Naturally, Mandy really cared for Harvey.Harvey let out a bitter chuckle. Anything else would be easy enough…But not Lilian Yates.It was not that Harvey was weak. A woman like Lilian would cause trouble out of nothing at all.Thomas Burton parked the car in front of the Zimmer family’s entrance while the two were still talking.Harvey hesitated.“You should head in first. I’ll just…”“Get off! This is also your home!Mandy instantly dragged Harvey down.“You should stay here for the night.”Harvey heaved a sigh before helplessly following Mandy inside.After heading to the main
“You can’t just know them for those people to be acquainted with you in this day and age!“No matter how much you flaunt your strength, you’ll never be as impressive as those people!“You can never change that fact!“If you’re really that impressive, why don’t you bring in more businesses for Mandy then?! Why don’t you buy her a villa from Ostrane Bay?!”Naturally, Aunt Anderson must have completely disrespected Lilian Yates after calling her.That was why Lilian became more irritated than usual.“Look at Young Master John! He got bailed out with just a single call from his family!“His reputation alone can bring millions of dollars worth of contracts for Mandy!”Lilian was heartbroken after reminding herself that Harvey York scammed Silas John and got him thrown behind bars.After all, he was her best son-in-law! She would not let this go!“Ostrane Bay?Harvey spoke.“I gifted her the Ostrane 1, but she didn’t want it.”“Heh heh heh! The Ostrane 1?!“The one that costs a
“Oh? You talk like it’s actually the truth!Gabriel Lee coldly chuckled.“I might just believe you if you tell me the viola’s fake!“How dare you talk like you’re actually some sort of geomancy expert?!“You know nothing, do you?!“Young Master John gave this to us! Why would there even be a problem with it?!“His net worth is hundreds and millions of dollars! He’s been pursuing Mandy for the longest time! Why would he even hurt her?!“Use your damn brain!”Avery Foster let out a scoff.“What an interesting live-in son-in-law we have here, huh? He’ll say anything he wants here!”Lilian Yates crossed her arms and coldly chuckled while disdainfully glaring at Harvey York.‘He doesn’t even know anything! He wouldn’t know something like geomancy arts in the first place!‘He probably doesn’t know how to write, yet he’s spouting all this nonsense!‘What a joke!’Harvey frowned.“Silas John sent this?” he asked while looking at Mandy Zimmer.Mandy froze before she lightly nodd
“It’s not that. Doctors won’t be able to save them.“There’s not enough time.”Harvey York spoke before pulling out some paper and cinnabar to help Lilian Yates and the others.Mandy Zimmer froze.“What are you doing, Harvey?”“I’m drawing up a talisman to help them.”He never liked Lilian and the others, but since they were Mandy’s parents, he could not just watch as they were dying.“You’re not a doctor, Harvey! Don’t try anything stupid!“They probably just have food poisoning! What’s the point of drawing a few talismans?!”Mandy tried to stop Harvey.“Help me lift them to the couch if you really have the time.”Mandy was dialing a number on her phone.Harvey completely ignored Mandy when he dipped his finger into some cinnabar and smoothly drew on the paper.He burned the paper inside a bowl and added some water.He lifted Simon Zimmer with the bowl in hand.Simon was terrified.“What are you doing?! You’re insane!”He was afraid of what Harvey was going to pour in
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
