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
The men looked at each other for a moment. Then, a Westerner leading the group walked forward, prepared to slap Prince to the ground.Bam!Prince smacked the man down with his crutch without holding back. He then swung the crutch down again.Crack!A bone was snapped immediately.Since Harvey gave the order to break some legs, Prince naturally wouldn’t hold back.“Get him!”The remaining guards froze for a moment, then rushed with their fists.Even with his legs covered in plaster, Prince was still Quill’s son; why would he be afraid of a bunch of bodyguards in the first place?In under a minute, the men were all beaten down. They lay on the floor with their legs broken, wailing in pain.The last one standing frantically rushed backward; his entire body was shivering in fear even as he stood in front of Charlize.“You…”Charlize was bewildered.‘Even a cripple is this impressive?‘What a joke!‘He took down a dozen of my men with his crutch?‘Nobody would even believe m
Calling the cops was destined to be useless. The Foster family was the one who caused trouble in the first place, and yet, they were the ones demanding justice.When Soren got the call, he quickly hung up after haphazardly skimming past the subject.Charlize was so angry, she was on the verge of coughing up blood.She had no choice but to return to the Ostrane Five, shivering in fear. She kneeled with a horrible expression as she explained everything in detail to Amora.“That bastard doesn’t respect the family at all, milady!“Not only did he decline our kindness, but he even got his people to smash our cars and break our men’s legs!“He even told us that he’ll make us suffer if we don’t get out of the city in three days!”Naturally, Charlize wouldn’t expose herself for acting high and mighty. Instead, she put all the blame on Harvey.She believed Amora would take out Harvey in a fit of rage to quell her anger as well.Charlize was just a subordinate, but she wouldn’t allow he
