Harvey York did not mind much about Colson John.He was not planning to kill off Colson.After all, Alma John and Silas John were both from the John family.There would definitely be a massive uproar after two members of the family died.Blaine John, who had been extremely cautious, would probably not take any action for the time being.That was why Harvey needed someone like Colson.He believed Colson would deal with the situation neatly, even just to save his skin.That was why he left without stirring a ruckus.Harvey could not be bothered about Colson’s resentful and vengeful emotions either.Rather, those feelings were his driving forces.Maybe he would even fight to the death against Blaine because of this.Harvey felt quite thrilled after thinking about it.It mattered not whether Colson was from Evermore or not.He only cared about how Blaine would eventually handle the situation.Of course, Kairi Patel was trailing behind him as well.Harvey had nothing to worry
After seeing the massive rivets pushing the door open, Harvey York could not help but feel impressed. As expected, the less wealthy were still richer than poor families.It was already quite discreet for the Braff family to call the ancestral house that.This place must have been the royal palace, after all.That said, the house was only one-tenth of Wolsing’s Forbidden City.That said, the Braff family stayed here because of their immense authority and the Wright family’s admiration.It was only natural. The Braff family’s ancient dynasty was the country’s very last. The Braided Dynasty belonged to the people who invaded the country after that, so it didn’t count as an official dynasty for the country itself.Under such a strong background, it was only normal for the Braff family to stay here.Soon, the car was parked in front of an exquisite courtyard.The place was quite spacious. Bright red walls and floor tiles were also seen all over the place. No renovation would be need
Watson Braff looked at Harvey York, hoping he would pay Eliel Braff respect.Harvey showed a smile before stepping forward.“Mr. Watson…”Before Harvey was done speaking, Eliel indifferently glared at him.“Your geomancy arts isn’t as good as I thought, kid…”Harvey froze.“Me?”He was impressed by Eliel. After all, that was the exact truth.He was well-versed in the art of killing and not geomancy arts.Watson jumped in shock.“You can’t say that, Father! Harvey’s geomancy arts is best in the city…”“You do everything indecisively. You get scared of every tiny detail. You care about showing off, yet you’re afraid of causing trouble for yourself after that…“You don’t even know how to gauge your enemies’ luck. You can’t even tell if you can afford to go against the people you challenge or not…“And yet you tell me that you’re a geomancy expert?Eliel showed a dignified look when he casually glanced at Harvey.“So, what right does a person like you even have to help the f
“No matter how impressive Colson is, he’s still just the second young master!“In the younger generation of the John family, Blaine is the only one who holds weight.Harvey York had no intention of hiding anything.“Not only is he a direct descendant of the family, he’s an extremely talented person with exceptional martial arts.“More importantly, I suspect he’s the most important figure of Golden Sands related to Evermore.“It’s a little troubling to deal with him because of that.“I let go of Colson and show him my cards for one reason.“I wanted him to know that there aren’t many people in the younger generation who could go against someone like Blaine.“But I’m definitely one of them!“If Colson wants to rise to power, he’ll surely provide me with enough information!“As soon as he calms down, he’ll understand I’m the best person to suppress Blaine.Harvey smiled faintly.“From this perspective, not only would Colson not betray me, but he’d also do everything in his pow
After hearing about the Jackson family’s good relations with the Braff family, Harvey York immediately understood.This was the only Hermit Family that he had not encountered so far.It was fate for him to be meeting one of them here.Harvey smiled before speaking.“That’s fine. Since an expert from the West is here, we should all have a look.“I heard that astrology arts are also pretty impressive.“Maybe the expert could fix the house.“Not bad. Not bad at all.”Eliel Braff patted Harvey’s shoulder once again. He was quite satisfied with Harvey’s attitude and tolerance.The three walked out of the courtyard before seeing a dozen men and women come forward.The group leader was a gentle-looking woman with an extremely reserved attitude.She wore a dress with dark blue patterns, making her seem relatively modest.She would occasionally take huffs of her bong before blowing out puffs of sweet-scented smoke.A westerner in a robe was seen beside her.He was a tall and stron
That said, Mr. Davis was a talented man despite his fees.It was said that he managed to suppress werewolves from Russia, river deities from the Island Nations, and other beings. He was quite a powerful man.For his protection, many Western royal families would use a large sum of gold to hire him annually as a consultant.The world’s top wealthy families would also ask him to determine their luck.Western arts like this have entirely different theories and systems than Country H’s geomancy arts, but Watson Braff felt a lot more confident after seeing Mr. Davis’ appearance.“I met Mr. Davis while I was still studying in the West.“That was why I asked him to come take a look.“That said, he came with his team without questioning a single word!“Many royal families wouldn’t even get his support even after wearing out their mouths!“The bishops of the Divine Prison aren’t just pushovers, after all!”Eliel Braff did not seem to be that surprised.“You’re too kind,” he said, smil
Harvey York’s calm words completely froze Penny Jackson in place.She stared with disbelief. She did not expect Harvey to see through her trouble immediately.She instantly changed expression before showing a fierce glare.“You b*stard!” she exclaimed.“Have you been following me?!”Harvey let out a chuckle.“I’m not interested in a woman like you.“I’ve never even met you before today.“Where would I even follow you?“What would I follow you with?”Penny froze before letting out a cold scoff.“I admit, you do have some talent, but you’re definitely not on Mr. Davis’ level!“Geomancy arts are no match against astrology arts anyway!“With the bit of skill you have, you’re completely inferior!”Harvey calmly smiled.“Enough of this nonsense. Get your bishop to do his job already!”Eliel Braff and Watson Braff curiously looked at the sight. After all, it was quite interesting pitting geomancy arts against astrology arts.Besides, Penny had always been a princess figure of
“What?!”Penny Jackson gasped in disbelief.On the one hand, she did not expect the Braff family to have such a huge problem.On the other hand, she did not think that Harvey York could tell the problem with just a glance.Even Eliel Braff curiously looked at Harvey. Naturally, he had taken an interest in Harvey’s methods and prowess.Watson Braff’s eyes twitched after hearing those statements.“How is this possible?!“The family will be in dire straits in three months?!“Is this a joke?!”Eliel waved his hand.“This is my fault.“I should’ve left the place by now, but I wanted to preserve the property out of my feelings for home…“I didn’t think I’d get everyone else involved because of this…“This is my mistake!”Then, Eliel looked at Mr. Davis.“Do it then, Mr. Davis.“Blow up the house if you have to. Bury me alive if you must.“But I have one request: please don’t let my children get involved in this when everything’s done.”Naturally, Eliel had already said the
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
After hearing what Harvey had to say, everyone exchanged glances. Lune and Sol were very experienced, and they quickly zoomed into the video recording and started to check the details. After carefully scanning it, everyone noticed Neve's action was extremely mechanical, and her eyes were completely blank. Even her actions activating the Rainstorm Needles were extremely puppetlike.When Neve saw this, she was shocked. "How can I fall under someone else's control like this? I'm trained in Servitas' school of martial arts, and it demands extremely high mental mastery. How can I fall into someone's control so easily? Not to mention that one doesn't have to use the Six-Paths Fragrance to control me, right? But most importantly… I've never fallen for someone's mind control until Harvey appeared… Could it be that it's you who are controlling me?" Neve immediately turned to look at Harvey, looking vigilant.Harvey rolled his eyes. "What's the point of me doing that?""So you can get my gran
"Stop! Everyone, stop!" When Lune and Sol saw what was happening, they were stunned and stopped right before Harvey. They knew Geoffrey's condition, so they were very sure that it was Geoffrey's inner demon going wild just now."Drop all your Rainstorm Needles right now! We can decide everything once Mr. Geoffrey is awake!" Lune ordered the men and quickly checked the mobile that was already set up nearby, wanting to see what was happening."Are you stupid, Lune? Didn't you see that my grandpa is almost dead because of him? Sol, stop them right now! Do it! Kill Harvey! Kill whoever dares to stop you!" Neve screamed, on the verge of a breakdown.The dozens of security guards exchanged glances and hesitated and did not dare move when they saw how chaotic it was in the study."We'll see who's behind this right now!" Lune had already grabbed the phone, and he immediately projected what the phone had recorded onto the wide-screen TV in the study.Soon, they all saw how Neve appeared at
Harvey instinctively kicked Geoffrey's chair when he narrowed his eyes, looking at what was happening. There was a bang, and the chair fell to the ground. The silver needles from the Rainstorm Needles flew past where the two of them were just moments ago, striking the big desk.Instantly, a big hole appeared on the desk, and corrosive liquid flowed out. It was terrifying. However, Neve blankly raised her right hand. Just as Harvey was about to make his move, Geoffrey appeared right before Neve and grabbed her right hand tightly, his expression brutal."How dare you… I have raised you for twenty years! And now, you want to kill me? Time to die!" As Geoffrey said that, he moved Neve's arm and aimed the Rainstorm Needles in her sleeve right on her own forehead.Harvey blinked, and he instantly knew what was happening.Because of Neve's assault, the inner demon within Geoffrey clawed its way out. Geoffrey had already lost control. Meanwhile, Neve started to regain some clarity from the
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
