Mandy Zimmer felt sluggish after seeing such a ruthless and decisive woman.Harvey York, on the other hand, was feeling quite impressed.Not only was Amora ruthless to others, but she was even more so to herself.People like that were only destined to rise to power.“I see your sincerity now…Harvey slowly walked toward Amora before fixing her arms back with a gentle smile.“It’s simple for me to deal with your father’s curse.“That said, no matter how generous I am, I can’t just do that for free after everything you two have done to me, right?”Amora showed mixed emotions before taking a deep breath.“Name anything you want, Master York!”Harvey pulled out three fingers.“I have three simple conditions.“Number one, I want Brayan to go into hiding after he’s treated. I don’t want to see him in every possible industry there is.“Number two, I want half of the Foster family’s resources, including riches and connections…”Amora’s expression changed.“Do you want to tear th
Amora Foster finally closed her mouth.A sense of loyalty immediately replaced the vengeance against Harvey York. She decided to go down the same path with him till the bitter end.“Thank you for trusting me, Master York!” she exclaimed exhilarated.“Then again, I don’t think I have enough power to convince the entire family…“Just like you said, I’m afraid the family won’t support my improper rise.”Harvey patted Amora’s face with a smile.“Don’t forget, I’m the city’s best geomancy expert.“You’re destined to be in a high position.“Be confident in yourself.“Go back and talk to your father.“Tell him to listen to you if he wants to live the rest of his life in glory and riches.“This’ll be beneficial for all three of us.”Amora decisively waved her hand, completely ignoring her injuries.“Don’t worry, Sir York!“I won’t let my major shareholder be disappointed!”Then, she turned around and left.As expected from a ruthless person like her.Mandy Zimmer was shocked w
“It’s a lot of money and resources. This amount of riches can make an ordinary man rival a country…“But do I look like someone who even needs that?”Amora Foster froze with a peculiar expression.“It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to fool me.“As long as you do my job properly, I can even help the family during trying times as the major shareholder.“If you do go against me, I can easily take control of the family just like I did your father.“If I want to, I can also remove the family from the top ten families.“Do you understand me?”With Amora’s attitude, she would be jumping around the place while she screamed at Harvey York for saying those words…But for some reason, she believed what Harvey had just said was the truth!She believed that if he wanted to, he could destroy the family within a matter of minutes!“I understand!” she exclaimed, with her eyes twitching.“Thank you for telling me this.”“Good.Harvey lightly nodded before knocking on the table.“Castiel
Amora Foster’s face darkened.“And what if I don’t?”“He won’t die,” replied Harvey York.“But the curse will enter his body again.“He’ll become a vegetable for the rest of his life if that’s the case.“Don’t worry though. I’ll get Castiel Foster to visit every year.“The service is free, of course. Maybe treat Castiel to a meal so you two have an excuse to hang out.“I’m pretty generous anyway.”Amora showed a perplexed expression.“Thank you, Master York,” she said quietly.She was a wise person. She knew exactly why Harvey was doing all this.The Foster family had no chance to go against Harvey any longer.After all, Brayan Foster could only rely on him if he wanted to live a good life.That said, Amora was not disdained by this at all.Her rise was too abrupt. The rest of the family would not hesitate to oppose her.Harvey’s simple move was enough to keep Brayan alive.Since that was the case, Brayan would also give it his all to keep Amora in her position.Simply
“The Foster family’s completely useless now?“Amora Foster’s heading back to Shaddol as we speak?Blaine John was filled with disbelief.“Cedric Lopez was crushed, and now he’s also demanding the John family for an explanation?”Kensley Quinlan covered the red palm print on her beautiful face with her hands as she took a deep breath.“That’s right.“And if I’m not mistaken, Amora’s rise to power is also directly involved with Harvey York.“She’s probably cooperating with him right now.“It’ll be hard to cause him any trouble after this…“Young Master John, I’m afraid we’ll have to postpone our arrangements for him for a while…“Should we report this to the higher-ups and ask for more backup?”Blaine showed a gloomy expression.“Report? How are we supposed to report this?“Tell them that we brought all of our forces here just for that live-in son-in-law to beat the shit out of all of them?“Do you think you can report something like this?”Kensley froze.Just as Blaine s
Harvey York froze before he burst out laughing, wondering if he was destined to play as someone else’s boyfriend recently.Penny Jackson came looking for him before. Cedric Lopez came looking for trouble after that.Since Kairi Patel asked for help, it was probably quite a big deal.“What? You’re refusing even though you gave Penny a hand?”Kairi was naturally well-informed. She scooched beside Harvey before whispering into his ear.“She begged for you to pretend to be his boyfriend…“But I’m different.“If you know the person I hate…“You’d be the one begging instead.”Harvey clicked his tongue.“I don’t know about that. I’m not the type to beg.”“That person belongs to the Tsuchimikado family. He was an exchange student from Kyoto University.“His name is Abe Masato.“Not only is he currently the brightest new star of the Island Nations’ political field and the youngest advisor there is, but it’s said that he’s also one of the most outstanding onmyojis of his family.“I
Harvey York looked away after seeing Kairi Patel’s seductive smile.Kairi scoffed, grumbling at the heartless man in front of him before parking the car. The two then headed into the clubhouse soon after.It was the tourists’ favorite place to visit in Golden Sands. Not only were luxury cars parked all over, but many exotic people were also seen taking their girlfriends around while happily chatting.Harvey did not favor atmospheres like this but said nothing about it since he had a goal in mind.After Kairi made a phone call, she brought Harvey to the deepest box of the place.A woman in a dress and elegant makeup had been waiting for a while.She quickly walked over when she saw Kairi show up.“You’re finally here!“Everyone’s waiting for you!“Young Master Abe Masato wouldn’t even order anything to eat without you!“He said that he needed to give you a good time! After all, it has already been over a year since you both met!”The woman completely ignored Harvey when she w
“Those words have no meaning to me, Kairi. You should just tell Young Master Abe that later,” exclaimed Greta Lee coldly.Then, she sized up Harvey York before coldly chuckling.“I don’t know who you are, kid!“But let me warn you! There are some waters that you shouldn’t wade!“I can tell that you’re more materialistic than valuing your own life!“If you know what’s good for you, then take this and leave!“If not, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”Greta grabbed a stack of cash from her handbag before throwing it to the ground.Kairi Patel’s face turned dark, but she only smiled faintly when looking at Harvey.While Greta was completely disrespecting Kairi, she was also trampling all over Harvey.“Honey…“She’s trying to chase me off with money.“She doesn’t even know how much pocket money you give me daily.Harvey spoke while smiling at Kairi.“She wants to know if we’re actually together, right?“Let’s prove it to her.”While Kairi was showing a weird gaze,
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
