“Let me tell you something! People from Country H have no right to compete against us nobles from the Island Nations!”The man was clearly from Country H as well, but he was glaring at Harvey so arrogantly, it was as if he was working for the Islanders.“Even if you have 1.3 billion dollars, you still wouldn’t have the right to challenge Young Master Chiba!“Hell, you don’t look like you have fifteen dollars on you, let alone 1.3 billion!“What are you thinking?“Xynthia’s a pure goddess! Do you think you’re worthy to have her?“Can you feed her?“Can you protect her?”The young man looked as if he was siding with reason. It was as if this was his only way to show his worth to his master.The rest were naturally there to suck up to Chiba.They began to laugh their stomachs off. The young man was right, after all.Since ancient times, beautiful women all belonged to the rich and powerful; poor sobs had no right to have them. Even if they ended up getting lucky, disastrous t
“A insignificant shop owner like you has 1.3 billion dollars?“If that’s actually the case, everyone in Golden Sands would’ve been billionaires by now!“Hahaha!”Chiba and the others laughed their stomachs off, as they disdainfully glared at Harvey.‘A geomancy expert!’‘He’s just a lackey for the rich and powerful!’‘If he wants to survive, he’ll have to lick the boots of his betters!’These people had never heard of such an impressive geomancy expert.If that were the case, Harvey would’ve been Golden Sands’ top expert—no, maybe even the entire country. They would’ve known him with just a single glance.Chiba was especially disgusted as he glared at Harvey.‘Does he think he’s from the royal families? 1.3 billion dollars? It’s still daylight! Is he dreaming already?’“Hold on, everyone. I just remembered that there are a few well-known onmyojis with that kind of money!”The young man pretended to remember something to butter up Harvey.“Looks like Sir York here is on par
Harvey waved his hand, signaling for Xynthia to keep quiet. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Chiba.“What’s the goal of the convention, anyway?“If it’s just for the sake of showing off, I’m afraid that the things from the Island Nations are completely unworthy.“If you’re using the opportunity to take away my country’s priceless relics, then I’m sorry, but I have to decline.“Not just that, I’ll even contact the government of Golden Sands to stop this from happening.“You’ll have to send a plan to me tomorrow.“I’ll take a look at it before deciding how to solve the problem.”Harvey’s expression was grim.If it was just any ordinary convention, he wouldn’t be bothered to care. But if the Islanders had other motives, then he’d promptly take action.“You want a plan? To see how you can solve the problem?”The people couldn’t help laughing again. They were looking at Harvey as if he was a total idiot.‘Young Master Chiba’s only saying that to ridicule him!‘And what happene
Chiba and the others went slack with shock. They looked at Harvey, speechless. The smile on their faces froze instantly, replaced by a look of shock.Nobody could believe that Harvey would actually be invited to be the government’s chief consultant for geomancy arts.Xynthia was stunned as well. She didn’t think that Harvey was so impressive, to the point where Eliel looked up to him.Harvey froze. He didn’t know that Eliel would actually talk about this on the phone. He thought about the situation for a moment. “This feels a little rushed. Let me think about this for now…”“Of course! We won’t force you if you don’t think that you’re a good fit. But if you want to, just give us a call anytime.”Eliel chuckled, then hung up.Chiba and the others looked ugly, at a loss for words.Ensley questioned Harvey immediately.“Heh, heh, heh! The first-in-command called you?“Do you think I’d believe such a thing?“Do you really think you’re that impressive? We don’t even know who exa
Chiba Nobita and the others, completely stunned, returned to their senses after hearing those words.‘An owner of a geomancy shop who’s also a live-in son-in-law had no right for Eliel Braff to look up to him!’‘Someone like that has 1.3 billion?!’‘What a damn joke!’“I told you! His entire outfit probably doesn’t even cost fifteen dollars! In that case, how can someone like that be a geomancy expert or a billionaire?!”“He’s doing all this just to show off! He even got people pretending to call him!”“How can someone be this arrogant?! He’s completely ruining the goddess’ reputation!”“Yeah! Take a look in the mirror! You don’t even have the right to be a rich heir or a master!”“Young Master Chiba and Young Master Ramon are just mocking you, yet you’re here acting up a storm? Do you really think that you have the skills or something?”Chiba, Ramon Lee, and the others were coldly chuckling when they relentlessly ridiculed Harvey York.After all, they believed that he almost
“What? Does a lackey like you like to lecture others?Harvey York smiled faintly.“Come! Make me feel regret!”Ramon Lee let out a cold chuckle.“I rarely come to this city, but you should know that everyone from the country’s upper social circle is deeply connected!“You’ve heard of the John family before, haven’t you?“Colson John himself is my cousin!“With his status and identity in Golden Sands, he’d let you experience a horrible death!”Ramon looked prideful.Naturally, he would always benefit from mentioning Colson’s name.“Colson?Harvey smiled after hearing the familiar name.“Fine. Get him here. Tell him to make me regret ever coming here!”Ramon froze. He waited for Harvey to grovel but never thought he would react this way.‘I’m talking about the second young master of the John family, you b*stard!“You live in the city too, kid!“Do you know the John family?!“Do you know who the second young master of the family is?!Ramon could not help but remind Harve
Chiba Nobita signaled for Ramon Lee to pour everyone a huge drink.The Whiskey from the Island Nations was bittersweet and extremely strong, enough to make anyone drop after a few cups.Xynthia Zimmer immediately held her nose shut when Ramon brought the Whiskey over.“I’m sorry, I can’t drink. I’ll just have juice.”Naturally, Xynthia did not want to get in trouble again after what had happened before.Harvey York would probably stop accompanying her if the same happened again.“Ms. Zimmer, everyone here knows you’re a pure and innocent goddess in the entertainment industry.“It’s our blessing to get to meet you finally!“It’s a good day today!“We can’t just go by without having some alcohol!“Come! Just take a sip!“Young Master Chiba brought this all the way from the Island Nations! Ordinary people wouldn’t even get to drink this!Ramon looked exceptionally honored.“Come! Just one cup! We won’t force you after that…”Ramon happily filled Xynthia’s cup.Xynthia showe
Ramon Lee showed a bright smile.“Oh my, Sir York! Since you’re Xynthia’s boyfriend, it’s only natural for you to drink in her stead!“Mind you, we have rules here!“Other than hers, you also have to drink your own!“You won’t break the rules now, would you?”Ramon poured another cup before bringing both in front of Harvey York.Xynthia Zimmer’s eyes twitched. She quickly kicked Harvey, signaling him to stop fighting.Naturally, she could tell that Ramon and the others harbored ill intent.Harvey burst out laughing, as if he did not feel the kick.“Of course! I’ll definitely follow the rules now that you said so!“Come! Let’s drink!”Harvey poured both cups of Whiskey in his mouth.“A bona fide man!”Chiba Nobita picked up his cup before downing his drink.Ramon did the same.The two prideful people were coldly smiling at Harvey. In their eyes, Harvey was just a clown making a fool out of himself.‘There’ll be all the time in the world to toy with Xynthia when Harvey’s
"Camellia?" Harvey said with a faint smile. "That sounds like the name of an ordinary housewife. Anything special about her?"Clarion's eyes twitched before saying, "Camellia is one of our distant relatives. When she was young, she was called the "Queen Bee". It was said that when she was young, the reason she fought was to make her opponents into her servants. If Grand City had a criminal underworld, then Camellia would be the queen of this underworld. "I've already cleaned up the car park, so Platinum Casino probably won't know what happened yet. However, Camellia has too many contacts in Grand City. It won't take long before she finds out it's you."Clarion hesitated for a little before continuing, "Mr. Representative, while you're very strong, Camellia's just too much of a pervert. I have a feeling that you two will see each other soon. Either you find a way to make peace with her, or you hide. If you do become enemies, then she won't stop until either one of you is dead."It
"Bastard!" All the men in black exchanged a glance and all pounced at Harvey with a dagger. Harvey looked like he could fight, but they were sure that one man couldn't win a fight when outnumbered.They were going to use their numbers to kill Harvey.Slap! Smack! Slap!Harvey didn't let them have their way and immediately slapped the men in black. He struck all of them onto the ground with one slap each.It was just a simple slap, but Harvey made their faces swollen and destroyed their self-confidence. They couldn't understand how despite being so slender, Harvey could fight so well.Forget about retaliation. They couldn't even avoid a slap from Harvey!The woman instantly pointed her gun at Harvey and sneered coldly, "You brainless, ignorant fool. You don't understand who you've crossed and what crime you have committed!"Slap!Before she could finish, Harvey had already appeared in front of her and slapped her away too. She screamed, thrown into midair, her back slamming ag
The woman who was drinking coffee frowned. It was obvious she was very unhappy with Havey's sudden interference."Kid, don’t you know you shouldn't meddle in affairs that don't concern you?" The bald man glanced at Harvey, disdain on his face. "There are many times when those who meddle in others' affairs die horribly."The bald man gestured to his men and the three of them pounced at Harvey, obviously wanting to teach him a lesson. However, they had just gotten a little closer when Harvey took a step forward.It was just a simple move, but the woman who was drinking coffee froze before yelling, "Baldie! Watch out!"The bald man was also instantly soaked with sweat. Harvey was just too fast! He never imagined someone could move so fast. Before he could even retreat, Harvey had already appeared right in front of him and slapped him.Smack!There was a loud smack, and Harvey's hand had already hit his face. The bald man's head slammed onto the ground, blood instantly flowing from
"I can't explain everything. I'm at the car park in Grand City's Central Business District! Please, save me!" Mrs. Hoffman begged. Harvey could hear the fear in her voice.While Harvey didn't know what had happened, he knew that if it wasn't because she was already cornered, she wouldn't have asked a stranger for help. He immediately put on the GPS and said, "Wait for me. I'll be there in three minutes tops."Very quickly, he drove into the car park and parked at a relatively hidden corner. Once he got out of the car, he put on a face mask. Opening the door, he saw a few men in black forcing a woman in a traditional garb into the corner.They held a cigar in their hands, huffing and puffing. They would even snicker perversely. A few security guards handling the safety of the car park weren't that far away, but they stood far away in the corner, too frightened to look.From that alone, it was obvious that these men in black's status must be quite high.Behind them, a coffee table
Harvey was feeling extremely awkward. He faked a cough and changed the topic. "Mr. Wenzel, I don't know what you've been doing in the last decade, but for you to be able to return in such a critical time means you've been paying attention to Grand City all this time, correct? You have let things take its course in Grand City, haven't you?"At Harvey's words, Wenzel and Vaida both put aside the matter of Harvey's marriage.There was a hint of surprise in Wenzel's eyes. "Why do you think that?""Simple. From the way Dan managed to become a scion, I can tell there are plenty of different factions within Grand City. All these factions are probably only respectful of you on the surface. The moment you disappeared, they did everything they could to push Dan into the seat of power so that they could have a puppet they could control."It's sad Dan didn't realize that and simply believed he was skilled in the game. In truth, without their protection, he's no one worth mentioning."Wenzel
Wenzel chuckled and said to Harvey, "You're too humble, Harvey. While you're not the chef, you're the customer. The customer is always right in matters of taste. As a chef, I have to make sure my customers are happy, correct? Otherwise, no one will come anymore."What I want to know is whether you want to be full, or to have a good meal. If you just want to be full, there's plenty for you to taste. But if you want to have it good, you can probably eat a few loaves in the morning. You'll be hungry before lunch."Harvey gave it a thought after listening to Wenzel. Still, he sighed and said, "In reality, I want both. The oven tests a chef's patience a lot. You need to do it again and again, but you need different heat for different pastries. The faster you want them done, the harder it is to make them delicious."That's why if you ask me, rather than trying to simply be full, I believe that one should make each pastry the best it possibly can. If there's something you can't bake or can
"Once everything was ready, Lord Howell then stood on the hill overlooking Lord Felipe's camp across the Red River. He believed his victory was at hand. "Suddenly, a cold breeze blew and the flag of his army hit his face. Only then did he suddenly realize that Lord Felipe's ships were coming from the North, while his own ships were stationed in the South. This was during winter, and the wind was blowing the Northwest. Using a fire attack would not only spare Lord Felipe's forces, but his own ships would also be burned."Lord Howell fell sick and he couldn't be cured. All the generals and soldiers were very nervous. At this time, Lord Kye's chief strategist Lord Albion came to visit him. He said to Lord Howell, 'I have a prescription to cure you of your disease. To defeat Lord Felipe, flame is the best weapon. Everything is ready now except for the Divine Wind.""The wind changed direction as soon as he said that, and Lord Felipe was defeated. And that wind had decided the national
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the ambulance quickly appeared and took Dan and everyone away. Whether they had truly fainted or pretended to faint, they all cooperated throughout the ordeal.At the very least, fainting was better than being humiliated.And that was how a political move ended quickly before it could even officially begin. Everyone watching this was somewhat speechless. Their attention finally shifted to Harvey for a while before disappearing.Harvey couldn't be bothered by them. He smirked and then turned the streaming app on his phone off.After this, Lapis had become much more careful. She quickly arranged for more personnel to defend all the residence's entrances and exits. At the same time, she also sent more personnel to keep an eye on Dan so that something like this wouldn't happen again.Harvey simply shrugged and said nothing. He believed something like this wouldn't occur again. Dan was no fool. He would know that the same trick wouldn't work twice.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!Stickers of rockets filled the chat on the phone's screen. Harvey looked at the stickers and happily said, "Looks like you can attract quite the attention, Dan! You're almost as popular as a small YouTuber! The rocket sticker is one dollar, I think. There are so many here, meaning you've already earned around 60 dollars by kneeling a minute here! This is so worth it!""You…" The prideful Dan could feel himself choking. Suddenly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.He was the scion of Grand City. The scion of Parkerville! Yet to Harvey, he had just become a YouTuber who could earn 60 dollars a minute. Most importantly, Harvey was streaming him kneeling in front of numerous netizens. He ground his teeth, infuriated.Not that far away, Clarion and Neve quickly left. The moment Harvey appeared, they had a very bad feeling. When they saw Harvey fix his phone on the selfie stick, they could feel a chill down their spine. Realizing they weren't part of the st
