Naturally, Watson Braff would not be able to accept that fact.The Braff family was the head of the Hermit Families. They had lasted six hundred years throughout history, yet they only had three months left to live…This was simply unbelievable!Eliel Braff was unnerved by the news.“Alright. Enough of this. We won’t need many people to help with the house anymore.“Watson, Mr. Davis went out of his way just to come here.“Give him twenty ounces of gold to show our sincerity.”Naturally, time is of the essence for Eliel. The Braff family needed to use their remaining three months to prepare themselves.If not, they would be doomed without knowing what were to happen.Judging from the current situation, turning the Braff family into an ordinary family was their only way out.Eliel understood this. He did not want to fight against the current anymore.Mr. Davis was smart. He obviously knew what was on Eliel’s mind.“Thank you, Mr. Braff!” he said with a bitter chuckle.“That
“A hundred percent?!“You’re that confident?!Penny Jackson immediately lashed out.“Can you stop bluffing already?!“You keep doing this; pigs will actually start to fly!“How dare you say you’re that confident?!“You think this is a damn movie or something?!”After hearing Harvey York’s words, Watson Braff instinctively stepped forward.“I believe in Sir York!”He knew Harvey was a calm and resolute man.Since he said that he was confident, then that was nothing but the truth!“Not bad, young man!“At least I wasn’t this bold to trick people like this when I was around your age!Mr. Davis showed a disdainful glare as he stared at Harvey.“That said, you’d still have to show your strength no matter the case.“Pulling the crowd here will do you no good!“I’ll make it clear right now!“If you even manage to solve the problem, I’ll kneel and call you my master!”Naturally, Mr. Davis had a smooth sailing life for the longest time. His title as bishop of the Divine Prison
Harvey York lightly nodded.“That’s right.”“Good!”Eliel Braff burst out laughing, as if he had already decided.“Since you’re that confident, I’m willing to put the family’s fate in your hands!“Do as you wish, Harvey.”In Eliel’s eyes, he was more curious about Harvey, who seemed extremely confident in helping the family.Penny Jackson could not hold her feelings back when she realized Harvey managed to gain Eliel’s trust.“Grandpa Eliel…”Mr. Davis’ handsome face turned dark before he waved both his hands.“You can’t, Mr. Braff! You can’t!“You’ll be in deep trouble if you actually trust his conman!“Even I wouldn’t be able to deal with the mess when that happens!”“It’s already settled.Eliel smiled while crossing his arms.“How are you planning to deal with this, Harvey?“Are you going to tear this place down as well?”Penny coldly glared at Harvey.“If anything happens to the family, I’ll drag you down!“I’ll make your friends and family join you too!”Harvey
Eliel Braff was pondering the situation.“The Royal Soul?” Penny Jackson coldly exclaimed.“Do you think this is some kind of movie?! There’s no way everything’s as absurd as you claim!”In Penny’s mind, Harvey York’s words were no different than movie scripts, and she would be insane to believe such a thing.Mr. Davis thought about the situation before pulling out a crystal ball.That said, he could not see the Royal Blood with things like astrology arts.Harvey completely ignored the others when he quietly told Watson Braff something.Watson froze before he left.A few minutes later, he brought over an ancient steel plate used to burn offerings.“What’s this for?“You’re going to burn offerings for the ancestor’s forgiveness?“Are you people really into materialistic goods?”Mr. Davis and the people behind looked at each other.“Is this a joke?“What’s the point of us if you can just do something like that?”Penny’s face instantly darkened. If Harvey only pretended to
Harvey put the drawing on the dinner plate, then hung it at where the portrait was before.“From now on, don’t let anyone in this place for three whole days.“Afterward, burn the drawing. Do that, and your family will be able to last for another hundred years.”Eliel was shocked, but then nodded. He felt his exhaustion disappear, together with the gloomy aura surrounding the house. He couldn’t be sure if the feeling was real, or if it was just a psychological effect. Nonetheless, the gloom from before was replaced by liveliness—as if his family had received a second chance.Mr. Davis, who kept a close watch on Eliel, looked as if he had seen a ghost.“How? How is this possible?!”Penny was confused. “Is there a problem?”“No, not at all!” Mr. Davis exclaimed, filled with disbelief.“I could immediately tell that Mr. Braff was covered in gloom before.“The entire house, too.“But now, that’s completely gone!“This… This is simply godly!“This is insane!“What extraordi
In Mr. Davis’s eyes, Harvey was clearly a very talented figure.He was convinced Harvey was leagues above him.At that very moment, he wasted no time kneeling. His knees slammed to the ground.“A good man never breaks his promise!“From now on, you’re my teacher!“Please! Entrust your wisdom to me!”Mr. Davis banged his head to the ground.Everyone behind him were stunned. They couldn’t even say a single word.After all, Mr. Davis was the youngest bishop of the Holy See. He was an intimidating being. Yet, he was kneeling in front of another man.‘Wh… My God!’Nobody knew how to feel about the situation.Penny’s eyes twitched; after remembering the promise she made to Harvey, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward.“I was ignorant before, Harvey. From now on, I’ll…”“You’re too kind, Mr. Davis.”Before Penny could finish her sentence, Harvey immediately cut her off and lifted Mr. Davis off the ground.“I have no right to be your master.“Mr. Braff, Director Braff, rem
“What do you mean by that?”Harvey frowned.He could tell that there was another meaning in Kairi’s words. Quite a lot must have happened recently.“To prevent Blaine from suspecting your skills and true purpose, there’s something I’ve been hiding from you.“In reality, many major things have been happening behind the scenes.”Kairi had no intention of hiding anything anymore. She pulled out her flask and poured a cup of black tea for Harvey, smiling.“The Hermit Families have been going against Faceless for quite a while.“He found himself quite a few experts to assassinate the families, too.“I suspect he’s involved with what happened to the Braff family.“But since you managed to deal with it swiftly, that means you’ve foiled his plans.“You’ll be under Faceless and Blaine’s scrutiny from now on. So, there’s no point in hiding anything from you anymore.”Harvey smiled.“I see.“So you guys just sat still while he kept sending assassins after you?”Kairi chuckled.“Of
“It doesn’t matter how impressive Faceless is and how many people Evermore has. Judging from the country’s situation, they aren’t able to just launch attacks with impunity.“Their resources are limited, too.“With what Faceless has right now, he can’t even compare to his peak while he was in Golden Sands.“The assassination attempts are probably all he has left.“Against the Patel family and the six Hermit Families, he’s probably on his last legs. “If he goes against us for a few more weeks, Evermore will probably decide to get rid of him. We won’t even need to do anything.“No matter how impressive Evermore is, they won’t allow themselves to keep losing. “Blaine looks like he’s doing all this for the city…“But if you think about it, it’s obvious he’s picking a side right now.”Harvey was pleased; all his effort to lure out Blaine finally started to pay off. Blaine wasn’t able to hold himself back anymore, and was finally showing his tail.“I expect no less from you, Sir Y
