Harvey was never interested in people like Harlem. Still, he couldn’t help but laugh and feel sympathy after seeing Harlem make a fool out of himself.After all, there were only a few people in the world who could bluff this hard.“You’re so awesome, Mr Lee!” Imani gushed.She looked at Harlem admiringly. “I’m not asking for Hollywood, Mr. Lee! I just want a small award!”“Mr. Lee! I want to be the leader of an idol group!”“Mr. Lee! I want to be a singer! I want to make a few hit songs!”The women all flocked toward Harlem, as if they wanted to melt into his body.The men watched, thirsty for the same experience.All eyes were locked onto Harlem.After all, his strength was perfectly demonstrated the moment the women decided to swarm him.That said, he had no interest in them; he had already slept with all these women. They were nothing to him.However, nobody in the industry had ever slept with a goddess like Xynthia—let alone him.Legends said that she was backed up by
“You better know what’s best for you, Xynthia!” he snarled. “You’re drinking no matter what! As for you!”Harlem glared at Harvey.“Filth like you has no right to talk in a place like this!“Either you stand on the side like the good live-in son-in-law you are, or you get the f*ck out of here!”Since she was caught in a tough spot, Xynthia tried to mediate the situation.“I can drink this, Mr. Lee. No need to make it harder for Harvey…”“What’s the point of saying all that now, Xynthia?”Harlem’s face darkened; he naturally planned to chase Harvey out before anything else.“Let me tell you something, kid! You only got the chance to sit here and drink such expensive wine because of Xynthia!“If that wasn’t the case, you wouldn’t have that right—even if you work for eight different lifetimes!“A peasant using his sister-in-law’s reputation should know his place before coming here!“At least have some self-awareness, alright?“If there weren’t a lot of people here—if I didn’t
Any person could tell that the man with a buzz cut was not to be messed with.Harlem’s anger instantly vanished. He was a little scared, and his body trembled. He had a bit of strength in Golden Sands, but he was no match against a clearly prominent figure.Harlem’s lackey saw a bunny girl in the crowd, and his expression changed instantly. He had seen her when he was getting the Ace of Spades before. He could tell she had a little too much to drink.After seeing her exquisite face and alluring figure, he dragged her to the restroom and tried to take advantage of her. She seemed cooperative at first, but she was completely infuriated when he couldn’t even last a single minute.When she said she was going to settle the scores sooner or later, the lackey didn’t put those words to heart. He thought she was just angry because of embarrassment.He didn’t think she would actually bring her people here.He quietly stepped back, his legs slowly getting limp.“Who are you people?”Har
Xynthia’s eyes twitched when she saw all this happen. She had experienced much, but her instincts were still repulsed by the sight of violence.Harvey smiled at her and held her hand, giving her comfort.The man with a buzz cut grabbed a few more beer bottles and smashed them all on the lackey’s head, cracking his head to the point his face was completely covered in blood.The man then clapped his hands, signaling for the others to take a turn after he was done.Harlem, who had been constantly boasting about his own strength, watched with frantically twitching his eyes. He had no courage to stop the situation.“My lackey has done the wrong thing! He deserves to get beaten up like this!”Harlem gritted his teeth and took a step forward, trying to save his lackey from the verge of death.“That said, you should stop while you’re ahead. He belongs to Country J, after all.”“He has diplomatic immunity!”“If he dies here, we’ll all get in trouble!”Harlem still had a bit of coura
Harlem’s body shivered the moment he heard that name.“You’re…” he said, shocked. “You’re from the Hermit Family… You’re Young Master Bolton!”Simply put, Kade was Azrael’s son.Imani, Kenzie, and Dayla were completely unfamiliar with Kade, but they knew that Azrael was basically the king of Golden Sands. Since Kade was Azrael’s son, his status and influence in the city were apparent.Realizing that fact, a chill ran down Imani and everyone else’s spine. Not only did they get in deep trouble, but they had no good way of getting out of it either.If they were slightly careless, they’d lose their lives in an instant.At this moment, they were clearly nervous.The six Hermit Families of Golden Sands were extraordinary beings, after all.Only Harvey was looking curiously at Kade with narrowed eyes. The man did look quite like Azrael… But he was just too arrogant!Harlem was now shivering in his boots. “Are you Mr. Bolton’s son?”“Oh? I didn’t think that a high and mighty man from
Kade tapped Harlem’s face before speaking up.“I’ll give you a chance…”“All the men, grovel and get out of here.”“All the women, stay.”Imani and the others were horrified; they knew they’d suffer soon enough.“You’re crossing the line!”“We’ll call the cops!”Harlem’s lackey gritted his teeth; groveling and leaving the women here would ruin his reputation completely. Before he could take out his phone, one of Kade’s men walked up and snapped his arm.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain could be heard, catching everyone’s attention.Under Kade’s command, the others walked and beat everyone from Country J to the ground.Kade stepped up, and raised Imani’s chin. He smiled.“Not bad. You look pretty good. I’ll have a good time with you…”Imani was panicking. She was from the entertainment industry, and she wasn’t an innocent lady. However, men who craved her would have to pursue her for a long time before they could get their hands on her. It was her first time seeing someone as a
Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Kade’s face without even looking at the latter.“Move!“You can do whatever you want with the others…“But I’ll kill you if you even lay a finger on my woman!”Harvey’s calm words sounded absolute. Everyone was dead silent; the bar seemed like it had frozen in place.Xynthia was a little shocked. Then, she smiled faintly. She was worried about Harvey’s safety, but she was also moved.It didn’t matter how impressive Harvey was; even when a so-called prominent figure like Harlem gave in, Harvey still stepped up for her. This alone was enough to show just how important she was to him.After all, he wasn’t just going up against a random gangster on the street—he was going against Kade Bolton! The young master of the Bolton family!In a place like Golden Sands, he was definitely one of the people with the most authority.Xynthia realized that she didn’t love the wrong man. Only a brother-in-law like Harvey deserved her love.“Did
“He’s Harvey York, Young Master Lee! He’s just a kept man—a live-in son-in-law!”“People like him wouldn’t have any strong background! He’s nothing!“He only got here because of his sister-in-law!“If not, he wouldn’t get to spend money here even after working for eight different lifetimes!“You need to deal with people like him immediately!”Harlem crawled beside Kade as if he was Kade’s lackey. His glare at Harvey was filled with resentment.On the one hand, he was afraid Harvey would get him killed by doing something so reckless.On the other hand, he hoped for Harvey to make a fool out of himself, since Harlem had completely embarrassed himself.If Harvey made a name for himself instead, Harlem’s reputation would be tarnished!“Harvey York!” he screamed.“Look closely!“Do you know who you’re going up against?!“He’s Mr. Bolton’s son—he’s from one of the Hermit Families!“You can’t afford to go against him!“If you don’t want to die, then start groveling already!“St
