Harvey pondered if he should invite Xynthia, and have her mediate between him and Mandy.At this moment, a convoy suddenly showed up at the entrance.A Land Rover Defender led the convoy. Its doors slammed open. Soon after, a few people walked out with righteous expressions.A young man was leading the group. Though he was quite skinny, he seemed to be in high spirits. Those following him were full of energy as well. It was clear they were no ordinary people.They were either martial artists, or from the military.Judging from their pompous expressions, it was more likely that they practiced martial arts.Harvey narrowed his eyes. He was sure he didn’t know who the young man was.Often, those who dared to go against Fortune Hall were all quite capable people.Luca, who was mopping the floor, glanced at the newcomers.“Sorry. The Fortune Hall’s full right now. You should come earlier tomorrow if you want our services.”“Your services?” the young man snarled. “Tomorrow? What da
If the martial artist experts released their auras at once, it would be terrifying.Many customers were scared witless, and instinctively stepped back.Just one look from them extinguished the flame of the candle behind Harvey. Only a bit of smoke could be seen.The young man was accompanied by several beautiful women, who scoffed. They looked down on Harvey’s appearance. They thought that they were here to deal with a prominent figure, but they didn’t expect it to be a random geomancy expert.In their eyes, a small fry like Harvey wasn’t worth the young man’s effort.If they wanted to, they could crush Harvey without much effort.Harvey looked at the newcomers curiously. He didn’t know any of them, but it was clear that they were here to cause him trouble.They even picked a time when Kade wasn’t present. They were aware how powerful the Bolton family was.Judging from this, it was already apparent who was backing them. Harvey’s attempts finally bore fruit. Now, he only ne
Cliff and the others exchanged shocked glances. They didn’t expect this young man to actually be this reckless.At the same time, they could tell that they were completely ignored.This was enough to show just how powerful this young man was.Only Harvey was sipping his tea casually, as usual.Cliff frowned. He gritted his teeth when he saw Harvey’s calm expression. He stepped out with a cold chuckle.“I don’t care if you know us. I don’t care if you don’t, either. If you want to make trouble here, you’ll have to do so with Sir York’s permission!” Cliff snapped his fingers.Dozens of workers came out, wielding their tools. Some of them even had buzzing electric drills. It was quite a terrifying sight.“Don’t you agree?” Cliff challenged. The young man chuckled coldly.“Do you know who I am? I’m the only son of the Gibson family, Prince Gibson! Do you think you have the right to talk to me like this?”‘Prince Gibson?‘The family’s only son?!‘The closed disciple of Heav
Harvey squinted at Prince Gibson.“You keep going against the people I’m involved with, you b*stard!” Prince Gibson said, chuckling coldly. “You’re pretty cocky, aren’t you?“Come on! Show me your strength!“If you can impress me, I’ll let you off the hook for now!“If not, I’ll have to break both your legs, and destroy this whole place!“Do you understand me?!”Other than standing up for his lackey Harlem, Prince Gibson was also trying to get with a woman he had been trying to sleep with for the longest time.For that one night, he would need to crush Harvey and Fortune Hall—no matter what.The martial arts experts around him belonged to Heaven’s Gate. They yelled loudly after hearing Prince Gibson’s taunting words. Some even pulled out their nun chucks and showed off their strength to Harvey, looking fierce and threatening.Harvey chuckled calmly.“You know quite a bit, but there’s something you’re missing. I have no clue if someone tricked you into doing this, or if you’
“Enough!“Stop it with this nonsense!”Prince Gibson stood up, then kicked down the desk in front of Harvey.“Are you planning to break your own legs? Or do you want me to do it for you?” he snarled, pointing at Harvey.“If I do it for you, you won’t get another chance to stand for the rest of your life!”At that moment, sounds of engines could be heard from afar.A few Toyota Prados parked right in front of Fortune Hall.Eighteen men in robes walked out, each bearing stern expressions. Their heads were raised up high—it was clear they were all experts.A seemingly miserable-looking man with a terrifying aura stepped forward.His presence was a lot more intimidating than Prince Gibson’s. He had the aura of an elite, and his eyes shone with murderous intent.He was none other than Darwin, one of Quill’s right-hand men.Prince Gibson froze when he saw Darwin. Then, he smiled. “Why’d you come here, Uncle?”To Prince Gibson, Darwin was here to support him.Darwin had come he
Darwin slammed his head to the ground, not caring about what Prince Gibson said.“Master York! Please! Please be the better person, and save me!”Seeing this, Prince Gibson seethed with rage. ‘What right does a geomancy expert have to make someone like Darwin kneel to him? What kind of sick joke is this?!’The beautiful and distant-looking women covered their mouths as they shrieked.The air tensed up immediately.Nobody expected it. To think that Darwin came all the way here not to support Prince Gibson, but to beg for Harvey’s help instead.“Uncle! Did you forget? You’re my father’s right-hand man! You belong to Heaven’s Gate! What on earth are you doing?!”Prince Gibson stepped forward with a bitter expression.“Why are you kneeling? Does my father know that you’re giving in to a conman like this?!”Slap!Hearing those words, Darwin swung the back of his palm across Prince Gibson’s face.“Filth?!”“Call him that again!“If you even dare, I’ll cripple you right now!”
Prince Gibson and the others instinctively gasped after hearing Darwin’s words.They didn’t think that Harvey could actually convince Darwin this way.They didn’t believe that Shay was crippled by the same man!More importantly, Darwin wouldn’t even dare hate Harvey for it—he only chose to bury the hatchet!A lot of people quietly stepped back without hesitation.Only Prince Gibson was left standing, looking dumbfounded. Even the beautiful women behind him stumbled their way out of the place.Any sane person could tell that he was about to suffer soon enough.Standing beside him would mean having a death wish!Nobody was actually that stupid!Harvey calmly put his teacup down, then wiped his fingers with some tissues.“I’ve disrespected you completely—I forced you to kneel and beg for mercy. Don’t you hate me for that?”“No! I have no right to!”Darwin sighed.“I wouldn’t dare, even if you decide not to do anything! I’d be insane if I did!”Naturally, he knew that his l
“Aaagh!”Screams of pain could be heard.In just a moment, the entire Fortune Hall was in utter chaos.The martial arts experts who came had their limbs broken, and then thrown out of the entrance.Even Prince Gibson was crawling on the ground, looking miserable. One could sense his unspeakable fear, too.Not far away, inside a dark red Porsche 911, Ensley froze when she saw the miserable sight.Seeing Prince Gibson’s horrible state, she was at a loss for words.She didn’t understand how a mere live-in son-in-law kept exceeding her expectations every single time.‘How is it so hard to deal with someone like that?’Someone called an ambulance. Soon, the injured people were all lifted out of the place. It was a shocking sight.After that, Harvey didn’t waste any time removing the evil energy within Darwin’s body. That said, he still kept a trick up his sleeve.He told Darwin to visit every single month to go through the same procedure. Darwin’s problem would go away if he pers
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
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
