In the crowd, Kairi slowly stood up.She raised her red wine glass at Nameless, smiling.“We’ll send a team of lawyers to deal with the procedures, Young Master Nameless.“I hope you’ll provide us with absolutely everything you have.“If there’s even a grain of rice missing, we’ll order an execution on you!“A prominent figure like you wouldn’t let yourself suffer over something so trivial, right?“Of course! What a great reminder, Kairi. I’ll thank you and your family for that!”Nameless glared coldly at Kairi as he said those words through the cracks of his teeth.He waved his hand, and strutted out of the place.Kairi smiled, then waved her hand. A few experts of Golden Sands followed Nameless out, planning to beat up him and his group in broad daylight.The referees all left right after getting their paychecks as well. The leader of the referees, Brodie, bumped shoulders with Harvey together with a group of Heaven Gate’s expert fighters trotting behind him.Harvey was
Harvey glanced at Julian.“Are you pretending to be an idiot or something?“He came here to force my hand.“He could charge me for assaulting a referee.“With that, the fight results will be immediately invalid.“They can even gun you down if they want to. Don’t believe me?”Julian held his breath, and looked around with narrowed eyes. As expected, there were people whose hands were on their waists. Some were ready to take off the safeties of their firearms.It was clear that if Julian or Harvey took action, the experts of Heaven’s Gate would have a plausible reason to fight back.This was the underworld. It was important always to have a just cause.If Brodie took action without regard for anything, he’d be showing his allegiance with Nameless and the Islanders. He’d be in deep trouble if that were to happen.Julian frowned after realizing that fact.“I didn’t think that old dog would be this sly…”Harvey smiled calmly.“It’s fine. Brodie wouldn’t let things end this way,
The air tensed up immediately. No matter how strong of a front Kairi put up, her face was still bright red.Harvey felt awkward as well.‘I came all the way here to help, and all you people care about is this? How unreasonable…’“Alright, enough! No matter the case, I’m still considered a citizen here. We’re all brothers, so it’s only natural that I helped.”Harvey smiled.“Besides, we only had to deal with a bunch of Islanders and traitors today. It’s really not worth mentioning at all.”Harvey’s confident words made Kairi and the others smile.Blaine was just about to head outside when he heard the conversation.Maisie glared at Harvey, filled with utter disdain.‘As expected from a country bumpkin! What a narrow-minded and prideful man, showing off when all he did was use someone else’s strength!’In Maisie’s eyes, Harvey had absolutely no talent. If he wasn’t lucky enough to have Julian by his side, he would’ve died by Brodie’s hands by now.‘How dare he say those things
“What?! Dreaming?”Amora swayed in shock. Her face had completely lost color.She was a top student. Normally speaking, people with this kind of condition were a little abnormal.Before she could rise to power, she desperately needed Brayan’s support.If Brayan lost control at this moment, forget rising to greater heights. The relatives who were interested in her position would rip her to shreds. They’d make her suffer the consequences of Brayan’s disorder.She would lose everything, and maybe turn into a prisoner in the end.Upon reaching this realization, Amora trembled so much that she almost passed out. The higher-ups in the video call looked at each other. Having heard news of Brayan’s odd disorder unintentionally, ideas filled their heads.Bam!Amora quickly hung up. She could only see darkness. The higher-ups in the call came from different factions of the Foster family. This meant that Brayan’s disorder was out of the bag!No doubt, a storm was coming to the Foster
After a moment, priests in uniform entered. A few of them waved their crosses around. Some even brought a grail filled with holy water, for Brayan to drink.A faint light could be seen on his forehead after that. He quickly regained his consciousness.Even so, the usually high and mighty Brayan was drenched in cold sweat. His entire body was shivering. It was clear just how much fear and pain he was dealing with.Amora was suddenly reminded of Harvey’s words.“He wouldn’t be able to sleep at night after three days.“After five days, he’d start having hallucinations during the day.“A week later, his limbs will be limp, as if he’s paralyzed.“A few weeks later, he’ll finally die of exhaustion.”Amora thought Harvey was just acting like a clown and said all that nonsense after his lies were exposed… She didn’t think that everything he said would be true!To her, geomancy arts were just things to fool the public.Her father’s condition was probably just a coincidence.However,
Charlize was disgusted.She was Amora’s best secretary, and a prideful woman to boot. In the business world, many heads of first and second-rated families would have to show her respect. This was her first time having to contact someone who fell out of power, yet she was promptly declined.‘Does Mandy think she’s a direct descendant of the Jean family?‘We gave her a chance to invite a con man, but she declined!‘Because of that, I had to come all the way here to such a rundown alleyway!‘This is just embarrassing!’Charlize became more enraged as she thought about it.She ignored Prince, and strutted into Fortune Hall with her guards in tow.Shay, who was cleaning the place when she saw them walk in, didn’t try to stop them. She also politely brought some tea for them. However, she used cheap tea leaves for the masses to maximize Fortune Hall’s profits. Charlize, who was used to eating lavishly, grew even more disdainful. She didn’t even bat an eye at Shay. She waved her
Charlize was infuriated to hear those words.‘I gave him a chance, but he doesn’t know how to cherish it!’She glared at Harvey, her face gloomy. “Enough pretending, Harvey!“Don’t you know that you’re blessed to have this kind of opportunity?!“If you miss it, you won’t get it again even after ten different lifetimes!“Do you know who Mr. Brayan is?! He’s the head of the Foster family—one of the top ten families!“He has influence all over the country! Maybe even the entire world!“It’s your honor to help him! Don’t you know that?“As long as you have a bit of use to him, your name will skyrocket! You’ll earn everyone’s acknowledgement and gain hefty resources!“Aside from that, you’ll get a reward worth eight figures!“Do you know how much money that is? Fifteen million dollars!”Charlize became more and more arrogant the more she spoke.“People shouldn’t protect their useless pride and dignity, and throw away their opportunity and money!“You should know better! Peopl
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Charlize took out her checkbook and wrote down a few numbers. Then, she slapped a check on the table.“Keep pretending! All you want is just some money! You act as if you’re some sort of saint!”Charlize laughed coldly.“Look here! 1.5 million! I don’t care if the tea set is real or not! I paid for it anyway!“Can we go now? Hurry it up! Don’t waste my time!“Don’t you know that every minute of my time is worth thousands of dollars?”As Amora’s best assistant, Charlize looked down on show-offs who thought of themselves highly the most.‘These people don’t know just what kind of disaster they’ll bring to themselves for showing off to the Foster family…‘Don’t they understand that making Mr. Brayan owe them would give them a chance to make their own wealthy family?‘No wonder they can only resort to being con men for the rest of their lives…’Charlize was filled with disdain toward Harvey and the others. Shay ran to Prince and the others, and sipped h
