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
Simon glared haughtily at Esther.“I’m in the geomancy market’s Empire Hall, Silas…” he began. “Someone named Esther John is trying to trick my money out of me. I need your help. You…”“Hello? Hello?”“What did you say, Uncle? The signal’s getting weak…”Beep, beep, beep!The call ended right after.Simon froze. He dialed the number a few more times, but the busy tone would always play. Without Silas’s help, he had no idea how to deal with the situation.“Looks like Young Master John won’t be coming to you!” Esther exclaimed.In reality, she knew that Blaine was the owner of the place. At the end of the day, Silas was just his younger brother!Silas would be insane if he stood up against Blaine for someone else’s sake.Harvey said nothing as they argued. He crouched down to look at the broken pieces on the ground.The exquisite statue was made purely out of porcelain. Aside from the wooden fish in the statue’s hands, everything else was basically dust.Judging from the qual
