“Mandy!”“Don’t go!”Simon quickly called Mandy, but she had already picked up the pace.He could only wave his hand at Harvey, and then catch up to his daughter.Despite her shame, Lilian wanted to head inside. However, she could only leave with the others, looking resentful.Gabriel and Avery stumbled out of the place immediately, afraid they’d be pushed around by Azrael if they stayed.At that very moment, a red Lamborghini parked at the entrance. A long, slender leg wrapped in fishnet leggings could be seen. A second later, Kairi stepped out of the car.Harvey’s head started to ache when he saw that. He finally knew why Mandy left.Then again, it’d be bad if he tried to explain the situation. He had no clue what to actually tell Mandy.The door of the passenger’s seat opened. Arlet walked out as well.Harvey was speechless.Thank goodness Mandy had already left; he wouldn’t know what to tell her if she didn’t.Azrael had a profound look when he saw the couple’s little
Everyone knew that Azrael’s strength was quite extraordinary.Together with his family’s influence, if anyone dared to assassinate him, their entire families would be burned to the ground.That said, a few did try to kill him when he started to learn martial arts. Now that he was well-known, nobody dared to attempt something like that.Without bothering to take action, Azrael pointed at the killer.The security guards immediately pulled out their firearms, and surrounded the killer completely.The welcome lady finally raised her head, but she wasn’t looking at Azrael; her gaze was locked on Kairi. Then, she glanced at Harvey.Harvey returned her gaze calmly. If it wasn’t for Kairi and Arlet, he would’ve dealt with the killer by then.The situation was in utter chaos. Nobody could know if there were more killers hidden in the crowd. It was best for Harvey to sit back and watch for the time being.“No need to keep her alive,” Azrael said, as the security guards stepped up.They
Keeka turned her hand, revealing a silver dagger. Then, she aimed it right at Azrael’s throat.Azrael narrowed his eyes, not moving an inch—as if he was scared witless.But as soon as Keeka got closer, he finally threw a punch.Wham!An explosive sound could be heard in the air; the power of his punch was terrifying.Keeka’s expression changed; she pressed the tip of her dagger against Azrael’s fist, using the momentum to turn in Kairi’s direction.A diversion!Everyone was fooled!Her target had been Kairi all along!She did everything to misdirect everyone!In Keeka’s eyes, Kairi’s defenses were the weakest.The security guards had Azrael completely surrounded. Nobody could react quickly enough.The security guards wanted to pull the trigger, but they could only use their bare fists since they were afraid of harming Kairi and the others.Even then, everyone could tell that they were too slow.Right as Keeka thought that she was about to pierce Kairi’s throat…Slap!Ha
At nine o’clock in the evening, Harvey returned to the Zimmer family’s villa.He initially planned to head to Fortune Hall, but he felt like he should explain himself after seeing Mandy leave so suddenly.“You’re home already?”Mandy seemed to have been waiting for him in the living room for a long time.The tea in front of her had already gone cold. She hadn’t taken even a single sip.She felt very complicated when she saw Harvey walk in, but she held back her feelings. She glared coldly at him. “Heh! You still know how to come back?”Lilian walked out of the kitchen with a cup of tea, which she sipped while she sized up Harvey.“You still care about our little family after clinging to Azrael Bolton?”“Should I be thanking you?!”Mandy wanted to speak up for Harvey, but she shut her mouth in anger after thinking about Kairi. She clearly wanted an explanation from Harvey.“Mandy told us everything! If you want to be the Patel family’s live-in son-in-law, then get out of her
Harvey stopped after hearing Mandy’s words.She was clearly jealous, but she was still thinking about him. It would be inappropriate for him to just leave like that.“Fine! I’ll get along with this b*stard!”Lilian stepped forward, then looked at Harvey with a cold smile.“I’ll do this for my daughter’s sake!”“But you need to explain yourself…”Harvey scowled. “Explain what?”“Tell me…” Lilian said. “How you made Saul and Kellan fawn on you, and how you made Azrael look up to you to the point he invited you to dinner.”Lilian couldn’t believe that Harvey was being pampered by everyone.If it was Silas, she would’ve understood it instantly.But that wasn’t the case at all.Thinking about Kairi, Lilian laughed coldly. ‘What kind of luck does this b*stard have to get on Kairi Patel’s side?’Harvey glanced at Mandy; he knew this was actually what she wanted to know.He sighed.“There’s nothing to explain.”“Besides, you wouldn’t believe me if I did.”Lilian burst out laugh
“Prince York?”Lilian laughed when she heard that.“You still believe that, Mandy?”“What a joke!”“If he’s actually Prince York, why would he need to give his services as a geomancy expert?”“If that’s the case, why would he need to be Kairi’s kept man in the first place?”“Why is Queenie York the current head of the Yorks of Hong Kong, and not him?”“Do you really think I’d still believe all that now?”“His so-called background, power, and connections…”“Are just there because he’s a kept man!”“He’s just clinging to different women at this point!”“Let’s just talk about Golden Sands!”“Without Kairi, what can he even do?!”“Saul, Kellan, and Azrael…”“They’re only pampering him because he has the support of the hidden family!”“When Kairi’s done with him…”“Do you think he’d still get the chance to stand in front of us?”Lilian threw a stack of documents on the coffee table.“I asked Silas to look into this.”“Kairi Patel, also known as the Poison Fairy!”“The me
Harvey didn’t stay in the villa after his argument with Lilian and Mandy. He went back to the Fortune Hall immediately after.He had already dealt with a lot of things early in the morning.After his fight with Waylon, Fortune Hall had become very well-known.Harvey didn’t even have the time to have a drink. He had no choice but to make Reece and Rodney take care of the place as part of their training.If they did a good job, he promised to fix Waylon’s Book of Changes and teach them everything.The two were a little unhappy at first, but they were ecstatic when they heard Harvey’s promise. They happily worked their butts off soon after.Harvey was a lot less pressured, since two of his disciples were working as well. Even so, he only had time to rest in the afternoon.Seeing that the hall was filled with customers, he decided to buy some things at the geomancy market.The paper and cinnabar were all leftovers provided by Reece. If Harvey wanted to attract Evermore, he’d have t
Gabriel was there too. The two were red in the face as they argued with a few staff.A lot of people were in an uproar as well.Soon after, a woman in a dress showed up. She seemed to be the manager of the place; she had an exquisite face and a beautiful figure.When she narrowed her eyes, one could see arrogance in her gaze.Harvey could tell that Simon was in big trouble. The man wouldn’t act that way if that wasn’t the case.He frowned for a moment before stepping forward.He didn’t want to get involved, but Simon was still his father-in-law. It was only natural for him to ask about the situation.“What’s going on, Dad?” Harvey asked quietly as he stepped forward. Simon glanced at him and gritted his teeth, but said nothing. Gabriel glared disdainfully at Harvey. Thinking of what happened the day before, he didn’t dare insult Harvey. If Harvey got angry and asked for Azrael’s support, he’d be dead before he realized it!Before Simon could explain the situation, the woman
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
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,
