The other beautiful celebrities quickly scooched over for a picture after seeing Lola Hoffman and Leona Foley in front.Even Imani completely ignored her embarrassment and stood the furthest to the side just to be in the same frame as Harvey.Harlem Lee was going crazy when he saw his own woman licking Harvey’s boot without even batting him an eye.“What right do you have?!“You’re just a live-in son-in-law! What right do you have?!“Prince Gibson will never let you go for this!”Slap!Kade Bolton excitedly strutted over before slapping Harlem to the ground.He wondered when he would get another chance to perform, and Harlem immediately delivered.He slapped Harlem around without restraint, making him constantly grunt in pain.“Who the f*ck do you think you are, you b*stard?!“Do you think you can just go against Sir York like that?!“A prominent figure like him wouldn’t argue with a small fry like you!“That said, I wouldn’t just idly watch as someone disrespects him!“J
“Let bygones be bygones. We don’t have to talk about the incident anymore,” Harvey York calmly replied while looking at Kade Bolton.“We know each other now after our little exchange. Since your father and I are friends, you should just call me ‘Uncle’ instead.”Kade’s eyes twitched before he swallowed his pride.“Uncle York.”Harvey nodded.“Think about what I told you last night. To listen is a part of your luck anyway.“And don’t let me see you take advantage of people at large anymore. Understand?”His gentle words were filled with an unspeakable sense of dignity and magnitude.After all, even if Kade was impressive, he was still just a small fry. Harvey could kill him off without much effort if he wanted to.Since Kade was willing to change, Harvey put more effort into him. He would even give Kade a chance to be friends with him.“I’ll remember everything you said to me, Uncle York! I’ll recite those words every single waking moment of my life!Kade showed a sincere loo
“The Oni Blade will kill entire families!“If this is placed in a house, everyone in it will die in just three months. “Simply put, this thing alone can destroy an entire family, leaving nothing in its wake,” Harvey said calmly.Lola and Leona, then glared coldly at Kade.They didn’t think he’d do such a heinous thing in the first place.“You need to believe me, Uncle York! I bought this thing!“I didn’t mean to hurt you!”Kade shivered in fear, and quickly explained the situation.“You need to trust me! I already know my mistake!“I wouldn’t do something like this!”Kade raised his hand, swearing he would never commit such a crime.If Harvey actually deemed that he meant harm, he would end up horribly.“I know this has nothing to do with you…Harvey said calmly. He flicked a drop of blood on the Oni Blade.The blade glowed a faint light. Its evil energy dissipated instantly, shattering into pieces.At that same moment, an illusion of a baby’s face appeared. With a veng
Kade calmly walked in, a cigar in hand. He kicked down a vase from the Braided Dynasty.“Get out of here, Esther John!” he yelled.Harvey crossed his arms, and walked in without any emotion. Looking around, he saw many good items and rough gemstones on the racks. Many stone gamblers were gathered here.“Oh, my! Isn’t this Young Master Bolton?”As Harvey was scanning his surroundings, a cackle could be heard from the deeper part of Empire Hall. A beautiful woman appeared.She was wearing a dress embroidered with golden threads, looking sensual and witty. It was the same woman who fought Harvey before.Esther stopped in her tracks, and spoke in a personable tone.“Judging from the big crowd, you’re either here to destroy our things or to beat people up.“What did my subordinates do to you again?“Or are you angry that I didn’t text you back last night?”Esther squinted, looking quite grim. Obviously, she was unhappy about Kade showing up to ruin his business.“Heh, heh, heh! Y
Esther had no intention to give up, even until now.“I really don’t know what I did wrong, Young Master Bolton,” she said timidly, squinting. “Please, you should just tell me…”Naturally, she was dead set on going down this path.If she admitted to her fault, Empire Hall and the family’s reputation in the city would be completely tarnished.Snap!Kade chuckled coldly, and snapped his fingers.His subordinate brought out a box, and poured out its contents to the ground.The shards of the statue and pieces of the Oni Blade were inside the box. Even though the blade was in such a state, its evil energy could still be felt. The customers around were all experienced people.They could tell something was wrong with the statue with just a single glance.Seeing this, Esther’s gaze immediately turned grim. She realized that Kade had a geomancy expert with him. If not, he wouldn’t have known that something was wrong.“Heh, heh, heh! Do you need me to tell you?”Kade looked curious
“There’s no point in denying it anymore, Esther.”Kade glared coldly at her. He had no intention of holding back.“The more you explain, the more you make it seem like you’re just covering something up.“Just tell me how you’re going to fix this!“If you can’t give me an explanation, then I’ll get one myself!”The fierce men behind Kade started twisting their necks, ready to take action at any moment.He had ample proof of Esther trying to screw him over.Judging from his personality, nobody would dare say a word even if he razed the entire place to the ground.Seeing the look on Kade’s face, Esther realized nothing she said was going to work. That said, she wasn’t scared at all.“Since you really have to go that route, let me tell you something!“You won’t get anything here!“Blame yourself for being uneducated!“Once the geomancy tools and antiques are bought, we Empire Hall have no obligation to take responsibility for them!”Esther seemed very dominant.The crowd was
Harvey stared at Ensley with interest, while Kade with shock. Meanwhile, Esther and the others respectfully made way for Ensley. They looked at her with reverence.Ensley ignored them, and approached Kade. She looked cold.Kade sized her up, and chuckled. “Are you here to stand up for Esther? Against me?”“That’s right,” Ensley said. “That’s why I’m here.”“Oh? I didn’t think that you’d be this impressive!”Kade clapped his hands, smiling calmly.“That said, have you thought of the consequences of doing this?“Do you realize who you’re up against?”Ensley pressed her thin lips in disdain.“Since you’re being this direct, I won’t hold back either.“The Hermit Families are pretty impressive—but don’t forget, that’s all you’ll ever be!“Just hide in the shadows of history! Stop trying to flaunt your strength outside!“If you do that, you’ll have to think of the consequences!“My background aside, it might be a little hard for the person supporting me to deal with the Hermit F
As expected, a lot of people looked gloomy after hearing that Ensley was supported by Blaine.The six Hermit Families were impressive beings. After all, they had countless dynasties since ancient times. The surviving families were all born with royal blood; they were all discreet yet terrifying.That said, the times were different. The top ten families were the true leaders of Country H!Judging from this, even the five hidden families would probably be no match against the top ten families.Simply put, from the people’s limited knowledge, Kade’s identity was completely inferior to Blaine’s.The people who could go against him were only young masters and princes from the Patel family.Ensley said that Blaine was also friends with the person supporting her.This was enough to prove that Ensley was involved with the top ten families—maybe even one of the top-rated families of Wolsing.She could probably be related to the Xavier family or the Wright family.The people around shiv
