The marriage was not set in stone.But in Lilian Yates’ eyes…Blaine John was destined to be her outstanding son-in-law.Lilian had been imagining all sorts of things after having a short chat with Blaine.Wolsing’s tall mansions, private islands in the Caribbeans, art salons filled with a sense of magnificence…Those were things that she had been dreaming of.She was born into a pretty good family but was barely considered part of the top-rated circle.She could not push herself any further, so she instilled her hopes and dreams in her two daughters.Now that there was an opportunity, she would never let Harvey spoil this chance.“Please!“Is the money not enough?!“Get out of here already!“I’ll give you as much as you want!”Lilian was utterly infuriated. If she were not afraid of Harvey slapping her in the face, she would have lashed out at him by now.Harvey casually called the waiter over before asking for some Silver Needle Tea.Then, he shifted his gaze toward Ma
Lilian Yates had already interjected before Mandy Zimmer could say anything.“My daughter will never let this bastard here!“He must’ve followed her here!”Naturally, Lilian did not want Aunt Witby to anger Mandy Zimmer.It would be bad if the date were ruined because of this!“What?! He followed her all the way here?!“He’s also ordering stuff without any shame!Aunt Witby burst out in anger.“Bastard!“Why are you like this?!“People should get their statuses straight!“And not constantly pester people!“Don’t you get it?!“You’re not worthy to be with a goddess like Mandy!“You’re a nobody!“You two are from two different worlds!“Why are you still clinging to her?!“Let me tell you! I’ll strangle you to death if you ruin Mandy’s marriage!“I’m giving you one last chance! Are you leaving or not?!“I’ll call the cops if you’re not! I’ll make sure you suffer!”Aunt Witby furiously pulled out her phone before dialing a number.Harvey calmly sipped his tea.“You’re
The two quietly locked eyes. Harvey York’s gaze was calm in contrast to Blaine John’s playful expression.Lilian, Aunt Witby, and the others looked at each other before scoffing at Harvey.Blaine was covered in custom-made clothing, and Harvey wore discounted clothes from road stalls.Blaine had the aura of an upperclassman, yet Harvey was just an unsightly man.Blaine was the young master of the John family, with his name hailed all over the top-rated circle.Harvey? He was just pretending to be a geomancy expert fooling his way to the top. He looked like he was in the upper social circle, but he was nothing compared to someone like Blaine.Lilian and the others pouted. They did not understand where Harvey got the nerve to look at Blaine that way.“Perfect timing, Young Master John! This is the Zimmer family’s driver!“A mere driver like him is trying to take advantage of Mandy here! He doesn’t know when to stop!“Mandy’s been explaining that she has someone she loves! A nobo
“Not just Golden Sands, even people from Mordu and Wolsing have to pay their respects to someone of this status.“I have to admit, you are quite capable. It’s hard for an ordinary man to achieve all this in such a short time.”Mandy Zimmer froze. She did not expect Harvey York had already made so much progress after coming to the city.Aunt Witby and Elodie Jean looked at each other. They completely looked down on Harvey, but Harvey seemed extremely impressive based on Blaine’s compliments alone…Or at least, he was better than the average person.Lilian Yates showed an odd expression. She had an idea as to how capable Harvey was.Then again, she did not expect he would be this resourceful after coming to the Golden Sands.Since Lilian naturally disdained Harvey, she still could not help but feel disgusted after hearing Blaine complimenting him.“A man like Harvey has no right to be compared to you, Young Master John!“His connections are nothing! You were born into a top-rate
Harvey York kept sipping his tea without replying.He was about to leave after he was done.What was there to talk about when Blaine John had only been boasting about his strength the entire time?He could not be bothered to listen any longer.Elodie Jean, on the other hand, felt curious.“Who are those people, Young Master John?”The others were interested as well. They wanted to know what kind of people would let such a prominent figure be this humble.“The first man had single-handedly defeated the five strongest countries, creating the legendary Sword Camp at a very young age!“Then, he established billion-dollar corporations abroad, raising the country to the world’s peak himself!“More importantly, he disappeared during his peak, leaving only a legend behind!“It’s said that he’d definitely become the next elder of the military force if he didn’t!“He’d have the right to compete against Young Master Wright and the Big Boss for the highest position many years later!”B
“He took the crown with his own hands!“He’s a hero!”Blaine John showed peerless admiration.“I wonder which one out of the three you know, Master York?”Aunt Witby and Elodie Jean disdainfully glared at Harvey York with their arms crossed.‘That’s right! You must’ve never heard of those people before, have you?’Lilian Yates, Mandy Zimmer, and Simon Zimmer looked at each other with odd expressions. They wanted to say something, but they simply could not…If they remembered correctly…Prince York…Blaine showed a faint smile when they looked at Harvey.“I wonder if you have opinions about the people I’m talking about.“Right. Two out of these three have the same surname as you.“I wonder why there’s this much of a gap between you and them…”Blaine picked a glass on the table.In his eyes, Harvey had no right to be on the same level as him.“What a conversation, Young Master John! I’ve learned a lot!Harvey smiled.“But I’m curious. What’s the point of you talking abou
“You know? What do you know?” Mandy replied angrily.“Blaine’s the young master of the John family!“He’s also Emery’s sworn brother! They’re really close!“Do you know who that is?“That’s the big boss’s son! If we’re in ancient times, then he’s a literal prince!“You’re going against someone like that, and you tell me that you know?!”Harvey shot her a playful smile. “The Braided Dynasty’s been dead for hundreds of years by now. That man’s no prince.”“Even if we don’t talk about that, don’t you know that the John family’s the only top-rated family in the entire city?”Mandy was infuriated.“Even your Kairi had difficulty dealing with the John family! You don’t actually think that you can go against them, can you?”Harvey smiled; right as he was about to say something, a horn could be heard not far away.The horn had always been the symbol of starting a war. The horrifying sound would make anyone freeze in fear.Harvey instinctively turned around.A group of people was s
The man with the horn froze upon realizing that the truth of the corpses was exposed. He started playing the horn faster.The corpses pounced right at Harvey.“The same trick won’t work twice.”Harvey stepped on a tile on the ground.Crack!It shattered into pieces, flying all over the place. The shards lodged right into the corpses’ throats.Small worms, invisible to the naked eye, started exploding.At the same time, the roaring corpses instantly went limp before falling to the ground, as if they had lost all strength.Harvey glared coldly at the man with the horn.Looking closely, he was the robed man with golden-rimmed glasses who followed around Cedric, constantly ridiculing Harvey.The man looked at the corpses lying all over the ground, his face a horrible expression.“Bastard! How dare you take out Young Master Cedric’s Iron Corpses?! Do you have a death wish?”The man twisted the bell of the horn, and a flurry of blue needles flew right at Harvey.Harvey narrowed
