“I have to be at the airport, so I don’t have time to waste here.“We can let the cops handle this. They’ll lock her up for as long as they wish.“Or, you can get her to kneel, slap herself around, and admit her fault.Harvey seemed indifferent.“Of course, you can come at me if you don’t like either of those choices. I’m perfectly fine with that too.“That said, you’ll have to deal with the consequences yourselves.”Harvey’s fighters took a step forward.Their cold gaze was filled with murderous intent.The sight was just terrifying.“You’re him!“Harvey York!“The useless live-in son-in-law!“No. You’re the kept man who got kicked out of the family!”Anita Jean finally realized who Harvey was.She was still a little scared before, but she finally managed to muster the courage to get angry again.She thought she was going against some rich young master prince from a wealthy family…But she did not expect he was just useless filth.“How dare useless filth like you act
“Bullsh*t!“What makes you think you can do something like that?!“Hit me if you dare!“You can’t do that anyway!“You know why I’ve always despised you?!“You know why I’ve always hated you?!“It’s not because you’re useless!“It’s because you’re a cocky and prideful b*stard!“You’re jealous of Gabriel, so you intentionally embarrass him!“You’re jealous of Young Master John, so you fight him back!“You have some talent, and yet you’re acting all pompous! You don’t even know how to endure anything for the bigger picture!“So what if your credit gets taken?“No pain, no gain! You should understand that!“I scold you every day for you to grow!“Why don’t you understand me?!“Do you think I’d care about your survival if I didn’t appreciate you?“And then what happened? You never understood me ever since we were in South Light!“Not only have you not listened to anything I say, you’ve been causing trouble to the whole family!“The Yates family was in chaos because of you
“I did so much for the family, but you people just don’t see it!“Or rather, you just wouldn’t admit to it in the first place!“In your eyes, I’ll always be that useless live-in son-in-law!“You want to talk about conscience?“What a joke!“Let’s just talk about Golden Sands for now!“I was the one who got the ninth branch’s money back.“I was the one who saved Mandy after she got drugged.“I saved every single one of you when you almost died of food poisoning.“I dealt with Simon’s broken statue at the geomancy market.“I also bailed you out of jail…“These are more than enough to repay whatever favor you did for me back then.“Besides, you people aren’t the ones I should be thanking! Grandma Zimmer was the one who saved me!Harvey York showed a playful look on his face.“You remember every single thing that I owe you…“And yet you turn a blind eye to everything I do for you.“Since you look down on me so much, let’s start over.“I don’t care about the ninth branch’s
Mandy Zimmer seemed a little down when she looked at Harvey York.“Give them a chance, Harvey…”Harvey showed her a stern expression.“Fine. I’ll do it if that’s what you want. But remember, there will be no next time…”Then, Harvey headed back inside his BMW.Thomas Burton briefly hesitated before finally starting up the car.Harvey wanted to head to the airport but waved his hand for Thomas to turn the car.He believed that the Zimmer family was there to fetch Xynthia Zimmer.There would be a lot more trouble if he went there as well.When he tried calling Xynthia, he decided to send a text over and rest his eyes after realizing that her phone was still turned off.Mandy felt a little sluggish when she saw Harvey leave the scene outside the car.She knew that Harvey still loved her. If that were not the case, he would not have let go of Anita Jean that easily.That said, a heavy sense of guilt was still weighing on her heart.“B*stard!“That ungrateful b*stard!“Damn h
“Don’t worry, Mandy! I’ll stand up for you for this!Anita Jean covered her beautiful face in righteous fury.“I don’t care who he’s with! I don’t care what background and power he has, either!“I’ll make him pay for slapping me around like that!“I’ll be meeting up with my friends soon! I’ll make sure they teach that useless filth a lesson!”Anita gritted her teeth.She belonged to the Jean family. Even if she was barely considered to be related, there were still a lot of young masters willing to back her up.Of course, a bit of price still needed to be paid.“Enough!Mandy Zimmer spoke gloomily.“Can’t you see that Harvey’s already giving us his respect?!“We’ll only anger him more if we keep looking for trouble! The family will only end up worse!“Besides, we did let him down before.“Just help me out on this, will you?”The family looked at each other before Lilian Yates spoke.“Fine! We’ll listen to you!“We won’t cause him more trouble!“We’ll put all our focus o
Harvey York squinted when he saw a young woman in a tracksuit pushing a wheelchair.A miserable-looking elderly man was sitting on it. He had a feebled look on his face with evil energy surrounding it.Castiel Foster frowned when he stood in front.“Who are you people?“Don’t you know you should stand behind the line?”The young woman frowned.“I heard you have the Augustea here!” she coldly exclaimed.Castiel froze.“How did you know that?” he asked instinctively.“Good!The young woman glared at Castiel.“Enough talk!“Can’t you see that my father’s cursed right now?!“Bring out the Augustea!“If you’re even a little slow, I’ll tear down this place!”It was Castiel’s first time seeing such a senseless person.“Why would we just hand it to you like that?” he exclaimed, chuckling coldly.“If you don’t bring it out, I’ll slap you in the damn face!The young woman completely disdained Castiel’s skinny stature.“Hurry up! I’m giving you three minutes! If you don’t get t
“What? Has the cat got your tongue?”“Useless filth!”After hearing the name Heaven’s Gate, even the rich and powerful people around instinctively stopped talking. They naturally knew what the name meant.Castiel Foster was showing a hint of fear in his eyes.Cliff Saban also frowned. He knew the people before him were no easy opponents.After all, Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate was governed by the Gibson family, one of the city’s Hermit Families.There were a lot of Budokans built under their name as well.All the disciples of the Budokans were terrifying yet perverted people.Safe to say that ordinary people would not be able to go against them.Besides, Quill Gibson himself was quite a protective man toward his people.He would stand up for them no matter if they were right or wrong.Legends said he was also the strongest martial artist in Golden Sands. Even the Patel family and the John Family would not dare go against Quill unless they were desperate enough.Cli
Darwin’s throat was occasionally making weird gargling noises.He raised his head painstakingly, and looked at Harvey with disbelief.He didn’t think that Harvey would be this impressive.“I’m the best geomancy expert in the entire city. If I can’t even tell something as simple as this, I wouldn’t have the right to open up the Fortune Hall,” Harvey said, wiping his fingers calmly. “Can you deal with this?”Shay sized up Harvey. “Hurry up already if you can! If you’re a man, stop stalling!”Harvey smiled, not giving a reply.Yes, it’d be easy for him to deal with such a thing.Of course, it’d be near impossible for others to do the same.Shay thought that Harvey since Harvey wasn’t saying anything, he had no strength to help.She and her father had already looked for many well-known doctors. Once they realized what they were dealing with, they showed the same exact expression.She didn’t believe that Harvey was actually the city’s best geomancy expert.“Stop yapping and get o
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,
