Mandy Zimmer signaled Harvey York to leave the car when she approached the security guard before the entrance.“Hello. I’m Mandy Zimmer of the Jean family’s ninth branch. I brought a geomancy expert to help,” she said politely.“I already called Ms. Amora beforehand.”The security guard took a few good glances at Mandy before taking his walkie-talkie out. Then, he hung up and pressed a button, opening the gate for Mandy and Harvey to head inside.The two came across an elegant-looking garden.A woman with a pretty face and a beautiful long dress walked out from the villa not far ahead.She was exuding the aura of an upperclassman. She looked just like a high and mighty princess, looking down at the entire world.She glanced at Mandy before calmly speaking.“Hello, Mrs. Zimmer.”She had her arms completely crossed, not wanting to make any sort of contact with Mandy.This was enough to show just how prideful she actually was.Harvey squinted at the woman in front of him. Judgi
At the same time, he recognized the person’s identity.He was Brayan Foster from one of the top ten families.“Mrs. Zimmer’s here, Father!”Amora Foster respectfully stepped forward after seeing the man before her.“She brought a young man who she calls the best geomancy expert in the city.”She was clearly filled with disdain the moment she said those words.Naturally, she was not interested in a young man who took such a title.Even then, she would not kick Harvey out herself. She wanted to let Brayan make the decision instead.Judging from this, it was enough to show just how much she respected her father.“Thank you, Mandy.“The top ten families are banded together. Just come to me if you need any help.“You really don’t have to be this courteous.”Brayan did not seem prideful at all. He stood before politely shaking hands with Mandy like a true gentleman.Harvey spread his energy to scout the place before understanding Brayan’s situation.“You’re too kind, Mr. Brayan
If Mandy Zimmer was not the head of the ninth branch…And if the top ten families were not banded together…Mandy would not even be allowed past the front door in the first place.“I understand what you mean.”Brayan Foster did not show much respect, but Mandy was still showing a smile on her face.“I heard you got into problems that only a geomancy expert could fix.“That was why I brought Sir York, the best geomancy expert in the city, to help.“If you don’t mind, why not let him give it a go?”Mandy knew it would be hard to get in Brayan’s good graces. That was why she asked Harvey York here. She would not dare reveal that Harvey was her ex-husband either.It would be hard to do anything if she did.But from another perspective, she hoped she could break the ice with Harvey’s geomancy arts.“The best in the city?“Him?”Brayan glanced at Harvey before showing a disdainful expression.Harvey was wearing a robe with a Centennial Book in hand…But in Brayan’s mind, he wa
Mandy Zimmer understood that there was no saving the situation anymore.“I’m sorry,” she said after heaving a huge sigh.“Excuse me for disturbing you. I’ll be off now.”“Oh, Amora. Please send off the guest properly. Give this young man 1.5 million dollars as a small gift for the consultation fee. They came all the way here for this after all.”Soon after, Brayan Foster picked up his scripture again.“Remember, don’t let anyone disturb me other than Mr. Davis.“I need to rest.”Time was the most precious thing for a prominent figure like Brayan.Wasting time on ordinary people was no different than wasting his own life.Amora Foster lightly nodded.“I understand.”She disdainfully pulled out a checkbook and threw a check before Harvey York after signing it.Naturally, she wanted Harvey to pick it up from the ground as a form of humiliation.Harvey showed a faint smile.He already figured out what was going on with Brayan.It would not be difficult for him to deal with t
Harvey York did not mind at all.“Brayan Foster’s a powerful man from the top ten families after all…“It’s only natural for him to look down on a small fry like me.“This has nothing to do with you.“More importantly, I’m sure they’ll beg for my help soon enough.”Harvey showed utter confidence in his calm words.Other than his experiences preventing him from getting angry at such a trivial matter, he believed his words would come true sooner or later.Mandy Zimmer heaved a sigh after seeing Harvey unperturbed.“Maybe I should treat you to a meal tonight…”Harvey smiled faintly.“What? Don’t you hate eating with me?“Why the sudden change? Are you trying to hook up with me or something?”Mandy was infuriated. She wanted to kick Harvey, but there was no way since the two were in the car.Right when the two were fooling around, the villa gate slid open again.A short-haired woman in business attire walked out with eight bodyguards with loaded firearms.The woman was Amora
The bodyguards immediately placed their hands on their firearms, ready to pull the trigger if the conversation went wrong.“Let’s go, Mandy.”Harvey York smiled before patting Mandy Zimmer, frozen in place, for her to drive. Then, the car slowly turned toward the direction of the Ostrane One.The assistant frowned when she looked at where the Ferrari was going.“That’s the legendary Ostrane One, you two.“A mysterious prominent figure lives there.“It’s best that you don’t get too close. If not…“You might suffer the consequences.”The assistant showed a playful expression.In her eyes, the country bumpkins before her were just showing off in their Ferrari. Nobody knew whether the car was theirs or just rented…They would probably take pictures with the Ostrane One for a few hours after finally getting into the Ostrane Bay’s villa area.According to the assistant’s knowledge, Darius Jackson gifted the Ostrane One to a mysterious man.He also ordered nobody else to get close
“It’s nothing. I just figured it wouldn’t seem like a big deal for Darius Jackson to give you a villa judging from your talents.“After all, you’re not even humbling yourself in front of people like Brayan Foster. It’s only natural for Darius to respect you anyway.“That was why I decided.“The villa might just turn into that mistress’ present after all…”Mandy Zimmer smiled faintly.Harvey bitterly chuckled.“What mistress…?”“Kairi Patel, Yvonne Xavier, Queenie York, Kait Walker, Katy Cobb, Leslie Clark, Irene Johnson…Mandy kept counting her fingers as she mentioned the names.“Impressive, Harvey!“I could barely count them all with my fingers!”Harvey cleared his throat.“They’re just friends. It’s inappropriate for you to call them mistresses now, isn’t it…?”“What are you saying? They’re either your secretary, lackey, or besties, right?” Mandy retorted.“Don’t worry. I won’t get jealous because of this. I just think I’ll get angry if you get stolen because I didn’t
When Harvey York returned to Fortune Hall, a Toyota Alphard was parked on an old pier near the Rio River.A few people were comfortably leaning on the seats inside with wine in hand. That said, their expressions were peculiar.The most eye-catching person of them all was Kairi Patel, with one of her trusted subordinates, Dariel Jackson.He once had a huge conflict with Harvey at the Golden Sands Food Market. He was willingly working for Harvey then, but the look of a lackey on him was already long gone.He was constantly perusing the documents showing on his laptop.Kairi looked at her phone for a short while before finally speaking.“How’s everything?”“A little troublesome.”Dariel frowned while holding his laptop.“First off, Quill Gibson had already gone to the Heaven’s Gate because of Jakai Vaus’ death. He was detained by Heaven’s Gate’s law enforcement to investigate the situation further before he could be released.“In that period, the Vaus family isn’t allowed to be
