“I’ll show you.”Harvey calmly took a step forward, then raised his finger.Before Shay and the others could come to their senses, he poked a few parts of Darwin’s body.Shay screamed in anger. “Don’t you dare hurt my father!”Darwin wanted to fight back, but he was basically half-paralyzed. Even in his prime, his speed was completely inferior to Harvey’s. There was no way he could’ve gone against Harvey.Harvey bit his finger, and put a drop of blood on Darwin’s forehead.Darwin wanted to fight back. His entire body was as pale as paper; he shivered, as if he was in shock.“You b*stard!” Shay kept screaming.She gritted her teeth in anger; she swore to take her revenge on Harvey, no matter what. However, she couldn’t even move a single inch, let alone fight back.She was just a powerless woman.The customers were shocked to see Darwin shivering non-stop.They weren’t martial artists; they didn’t know that Darwin was already suffering as soon as Harvey poked him a few times.
“I only relieved you from your condition temporarily.”“I didn’t cure your injuries, nor did I remove the curse from your body.”“You have twenty-four hours to do whatever you want.”“When your time’s up, you’ll go back to moving around in your wheelchair.”“I’m doing this to prove to you that I’m telling the truth.”“Besides, I usually only ask for ten dollars for my services.”“Geomancy treasures aren’t needed at all here.”“I could’ve dealt with your problem in just ten minutes, but you just had to act all high and mighty.”“Your daughter’s crippled. Your disciples are injured. You only have a day to arrange everything before your inevitable end…”Harvey smiled faintly. “Cherish the time you have left.”“You’ll regret the decision for the rest of your life soon enough.”Harvey appeared calm, as if he was chasing out a couple of rabid dogs.That wasn’t enough, though; Darwin and his daughter would probably continue taking advantage of the common folk.It was why Harvey
Darwin’s breathing grew heavier and heavier; his eyes were filled with rage. He wanted to send Harvey flying with a slap, but…He knew he was no match against Harvey.If he took action, he’d most likely get beaten up to the point he wouldn’t even have a day to live.After thinking for a long while, he decided to swallow the pain. He planned to get someone else to threaten Harvey, so Harvey would treat him. Not wanting to suffer any more losses, he pulled out his checkbook and painstakingly wrote a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Then, he left with Shay and the others.Shay was filled with hatred and regret. She hated Harvey to the bone.When the people were long gone, Cliff approached Harvey.“Sir York, Darwin is one of Quill’s right-hand men. He has high status in both the Gibson family and the Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate.”“It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that he’s served by thousands of other people.”“You’ll be in deep trouble for doing this.”Castiel no
Harvey couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched Castiel hop around, gritting his teeth.Safe to say, he was too inexperienced to handle such a little thing.‘I’ll have to teach him well, or he’ll have a hard time succeeding,’ Harvey thought.Of course, Harvey didn’t stop him. After all, it’d be refreshing for Castiel to see Darwin and the others suffer a little more.Harvey threw the check to Cliff, so the latter could take care of the renovation materials and furniture. Just then, his phone started to chime.He had received a text.“The plane just started to take off, Harvey. Remember to fetch me tonight!”Harvey was speechless; he knew Xynthia hid herself at the airport because he wasn’t there to fetch her. She made herself a lame excuse, at that.He could tell there was no change in the time of her flight just by checking it on his phone.Even so, he was quite close to his sister-in-law. Xynthia was also working for the company under his name, so he couldn’t ignore her just
Xynthia didn’t care if a place was developed or not.The only important thing to her was the people she cared about.Seeing Xynthia’s innocent attitude, Ensley couldn’t help but smile.At that very moment, Harvey walked over with a helpless look.“You changed a flight just for me to fetch you? You’re insane!”“Do this again, and I’ll give you a good spanking!”“Harvey!”Xynthia screamed in excitement after hearing Harvey’s caring yet scornful words. She quickly ran over, and latched onto his arm like a hook.“I missed you, Harvey!”“I couldn’t sleep at all without your scent!”At this point, Xynthia was quite a well-known celebrity, even though she was still a university student. Yet, she was acting all lovey-dovey with Harvey without a care in the world.“Come on, Xynthia,” Harvey said. “You’re a star now. If someone takes a picture of us like this, it’ll turn into a massive scandal. Your career will be in deep trouble!”Harvey sighed, and pulled Xynthia off him. For some
“I need to talk to the Golden Estate’s executive director about the next spokesperson.”“I’ll ask you out again when I’m done with that.”In Ensley’s eyes, Harvey was just a nobody.If Xynthia didn’t have any connection to Kaizen Group, Ensley probably wouldn’t have gotten close to her either.After hearing about Harvey being a live-in son-in-law, Ensley’s disgust grew. She wasn’t just looking down on Harvey—she was completely ignoring his existence.For a rich and beautiful lady like her, a kept man had no right to have her respect. Only young masters like Blaine John could get a chance to be with her.Harvey looked at Ensley with a faint smile. He could tell that she disdained him.That said, he wouldn’t get angry about it. After all, the opinion of an unrefined woman was pointless to him. “I see…”Xynthia was a little disappointed.“I was hoping you’d have dinner at my house.”“You’re the first friend I have in the industry, after all.”“Why don’t you come visit when yo
“Let me tell you something, Harvey. I may or may not have snuck back here.”“The director made me do a few more movies. He’s been putting me on shifts!”“I’m so exhausted!”Xynthia didn’t even realize that Harvey had a different car. It didn’t matter to her, as long as Harvey was the one driving.“I only want to be featured in good movies, though. I can’t just take every single gig!”“I heard that the Golden Sands Bank is about to collaborate with my company for a big blockbuster.”“I’m going to try out for that instead!”“If I get the role, I might just blow up immediately!”Harvey froze.“The Golden Sands Bank? You’re joking, right?”Xynthia looked as if she was about to give Harvey a lecture.“There’s something you don’t know, Harvey.”“The Golden Sands Bank has a long history. It’s been here since the Braided Dynasty.”“While the country’s still being developed, the bank has been funding for military pay as well.”“That’s why the bank is a historical place filled with
When Harvey and Xynthia were on the way home, it was the evening rush hour. The traffic jam was heavy. After driving for two straight hours, the car almost ran out of gas. It stopped right in front of a bar.The bar was named Champagne. It was very flashy, and could be seen outside.“Come with me, Harvey! Old timers like you aren’t used to places like these,” Xynthia said, “but I’ll make sure to show you around.”Having dozed off in the car for so long, Xynthia instantly opened her eyes the moment she heard the catchy music. She quickly hopped out of the car, and dragged Harvey into the bar. Loud noises blasted right into Harvey’s ears as soon as he entered. The bass seemed to vibrate in his entire body, as if it was playing from inside him. It was a horrible feeling.During this hour, the bar was completely packed. All sorts of people gathered here, so the bar was quite raunchy. Harvey never liked such an environment. He frowned, thinking of a time to lecture Xynthia so she’
