“More importantly, do you think you can even come back alive if someone actually came for the Augustea?“You would’ve died countless times by now!Lilian Yates looked gloomy. Naturally, she did not believe a single word Harvey York just said.Harvey heaved a sigh. He could not just tell everyone about Evermore.That said, he did not want to lie to Mandy either.“Give me some time!” he said with a stern expression.“I’ll tell you the truth when the time comes…”“Enough!Mandy Zimmer immediately stood up after hearing Harvey deny everyone an explanation.“Just tell it to me straight, Harvey! Are you going to give Kairi the gem?!“Say it!“I won’t stop you!“You can’t be lying to me about this!“I want to believe you, but you’re giving me nothing to trust right now!”“Can’t you just trust me on this?” whispered Harvey.Mandy seemed bitter.“I do trust you! I texted you to give my parents the gem so we can get married again!“I even promised them that!“I told them you’ll
Harvey York showed a stern look in front of Simon Zimmer while he was briefly thinking about the situation.“I really can’t give you the gem, Dad…“But I can give you something of the same value.“It’s not an Augustea, but it’s no worse than it.”Harvey grabbed the copper coin he got from Tosu’s van before setting it in front of Simon.The coin was not clean, nor was it wrapped nicely. It looked just like any ordinary coin.Simon was boiling with anger.Other than his greed like no other, he was infuriated because of Harvey’s attitude.He believed Harvey was just fooling him with something he found in a random stall.‘This is completely unforgivable!“You little b*stard, Harvey!“Do you think I’m blind just because I can’t appraise anything?!“That thing probably cost a dollar from some random stall!“How dare you use that to trick me?!“You’re telling me this is on par with the Augustea?!“You don’t care about me at all!“Why are we still keeping that man here, Mandy?!
“Give the Augustea to Father, and we’ll get married right now!“Lose the chance, and we probably will never get another!Mandy Zimmer showed a bitter expression.“Are you really this reluctant?“Did you have a change of heart?“Tell me! Tell me right now!”Harvey York hesitated. He wanted to tell Mandy about Evermore but knew he would drag the entire family down if he did.He heaved a sigh. He planned to explain the situation as soon as Mandy calmed down.“Do you think this is a market or something?!“Do you think you can just come and go as you please?!“Kneel and apologize to Mandy and her parents before you leave!”Silas John, who had been watching the show, finally revealed his true color.He stood up with a righteous look while smiling at Harvey.“In any case, you can’t just do whatever you want here?“Don’t even try to leave until you slam your knees to the ground!”Then, he stepped in front of Harvey, blocking his path with a playful glare.Harvey frowned.“Step
Silas John rushed forward as if he was about to pry Mandy Zimmer away from Harvey York.Bam!Harvey immediately kicked him in the face without restraint.He was sent flying once again.He could not win against Harvey despite having expert martial artists back on the cruise then, let alone this time.Silas slammed into Gabriel Lee before the two frantically rolled on the ground. It was a miserable sight.“You hit my brother! How dare you hit my brother?!”Alma John rushed up, planning to rip Harvey apart before being slapped to the ground.“I’m disappointed in you, Harvey…Mandy was stunned by the chaos in front of her.“How are you so violent…?“This isn’t you…“You’re gentle. You’re kind. You wouldn’t even hurt a fly.“This isn’t you at all…Mandy kept moving back. She did not want to believe that this was actually Harvey.‘It was just for a gem…‘How did everything turn out like this?’She thought she finally had a chance to remarry Harvey and rebuild together…She
Simon Zimmer felt extremely awkward. He hated Harvey York to the bone.‘Not only did that b*stard snuff my fire, he even made me embarrass myself in public!‘Goddamnit!Simon looked gloomy.“My live-in son-in-law thinks that gem is his! He wouldn’t let me have it no matter what!“I chased him out of the house. He has the gem…Simon was about to cough up blood.‘That goddamn b*stard!‘This is his fault!‘My reputation’s done for!’Lilian Yates gritted her teeth.“B*stard! That damned filth!”Silas John and Alma John were filled with glee in their eyes after seeing the look on Simon and Lilian’s faces.‘Harvey’s finished for sure!’Kian Foster froze before showing a smile on his face.“You can’t say that.“Everyone was there!“He found the gem. He bought the statue with his money. He even has the receipt.“The gem’s his to own!“It’s inappropriate for you to take it from him.“Think closely. If Caesar’s Augustea wasn’t revealed in the first place, would you have insis
“Copper coin?”Kian Foster casually glanced over.His entire body trembled before he frantically bent down to pick up the coin with tender care.The others were utterly shocked before they ran over with their arms out.“Let me see! Let me see it!” exclaimed the others excitedly.“Show it to me too! Hand it over!”Simon Zimmer got curious after seeing the sight.“What’s so good about that? It’s just something from a random stall, right?”Kian completely ignored Simon before pulling out his instrument to inspect the coin.He told someone to grab a bowl of water before slowly putting the coin in.Mandy Zimmer and the others were confused. They did not know what was going on at the moment.Thud thud thud!The water’s surface was pulsating, as if the coin was the mouth of a fountain.A faint projection of a gazebo could be seen underneath the surface.It seemed a little fantastical but felt like something that once existed.“The Cinder Coin!“It’s said that a king of ancient
Mandy Zimmer looked down before seeing Nova Anderson’s face.Mandy immediately lifted her before speaking.“What is it? You can also tell me.”Nova kept shaking her head.“It’s useless telling you this, Mandy!“You need to get Harvey York here! Harvey’s our family, right? I need him to tell Mr. Bolton to release my mother!“She’s been suffering in jail for the longest time! She can’t eat or sleep properly. She also keeps getting bullied by the people inside…“Harvey—no, Sir York saved Lilian! He can save my mother too!“Tell him to forget about the past! We’re relatives, right?! We’re bound by blood!”Tears were flowing down Nova’s face. It was a miserable sight.Lilian Yates felt annoyed after hearing those words.“Enough nonsense, Nova!“That b*stard had nothing to do with me getting bailed!“Young Master John’s brother got me out!“Isn’t that right?!”Lilian pridefully glanced at Silas John, as if he was her capable son-in-law.Silas’ eyes twitched before showing an
Harvey York was not thinking about the Zimmer family’s incident after returning to Fortune Hall.He believed everything would be revealed in due time, just like the Royal Clubhouse incident.More importantly, his mind was set on Evermore.He called Kairi Patel when he thought about the situation.After a few rings, the call finally got through.Kairi’s sweet voice could be heard from the other side.“Hello, my dear Sir York. Don’t you have to rest at night?”Harvey looked at the clock. He felt speechless when he realized it had not even gone past ten o’clock.“You sleep that early?“Enough chatter. Did you get anything out of Tosu and the others?”Kairi sighed before hearing countless screams on the other side of the phone.“I used everything I could,” she replied after letting Harvey hear the things happening there.“I asked everything I could too.“These people are disciples of the Oeus Temple. They’re pretty impressive…“But they’re no different than the lackeys in Eve
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
One hour later, Harvey once again appeared at the VIP seats. Durandal and the others had been waiting for them. When they saw Harvey appear, they grinned. "One hour is over, pretty boy. Can we start the battle now? Looking at how confident you are, maybe you should consider fighting yourself. If you're willing, I can tell the Boxing Champion to just use one arm."It was obvious that not only did Durandal want to use this chance to test Harvey's power, but he also wanted to get him killed.Harvey smiled. "There's no need for overwhelming firepower. Even your father couldn't make me fight him, let alone your underling."Durandal's eyes turned incredibly cold when he heard that. Just as the atmosphere in the VIP seats was becoming fired up, the atmosphere around the ring was also becoming more tense.They hadn't even fought yet, but both sides were already staring down at each other apprehensively. It would be quite intense once the fight really began.Very quickly, Durandal took a
Harvey ignored all of them, but simply looked at all the fighters. In the end, Harvey's eyes fell on a young man of about eighteen years old. It was obvious he had just come of age, and he had trained his body well. From his physique, Harvey could tell that his martial arts abilities were quite good too.Harvey could tell immediately that the young man probably had an extraordinary upbringing to have such power at such an age. He might be a core student who came out from a Sacred Training Ground to train.Most importantly, the other fighters either looked at Harvey warily or in envy. Only he looked at Harvey peacefully, as if everyone in this world were ordinary people.Harvey gave Maya a look, and Maya quickly introduced him. "Sir, this is a servant that a member of the Ninth Branch picked up from under the bridge. He's mute, but he's extremely loyal. When we realized he has great talent in martial arts, we decided to turn him into a fighter."Harvey narrowed his eyes. What kind
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
