Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 5297
Right as Blaine John left with the badge, Harvey York resumed his job as a geomancy expert at the Fortune Hall.Castiel Foster was already panicking since he was the only one tending to the customers.With Harvey back, the morale of the entire place was instantly raised again.After three days of peace and quiet, Kade Bolton showed a horrible expression when he came to the Fortune Hall from Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters.“This is bad, Sir York,” he said, quickly walking towards Harvey.“It’s only normal for something to happen in the city now, right?Harvey spoke while drawing up a talisman for a customer.“Did someone challenge your family?”Kade shook his head.“No, but someone was looking to cause trouble to the Pagan family.”Harvey froze. He quickly wiped his hand with wet wipes before leading Kade to the back.“Tell me more.”Harvey cut to the chase.“There’s something you don’t know, Sir York. Other than having the biggest appraisal businesses in the city, the Pagan

“That said, a woman in traditional clothing showed up at the site on an afternoon.“She easily found twelve tempest-type gems, then announced that nothing was left to find in the first batch.“Nobody believed her at first, but the next dozens of customers couldn’t even find a gem the size of their pinky!“Then, the customers stopped after that.“The next day—yesterday, the woman came again when the second batch of stones showed up.“She easily found another twelve gems before announcing the same thing.“Nobody dared to challenge her anymore.“Seventy percent of the stones that could be turned into piles of gold were instantly recognized as garbage that nobody would bother to examine.“Today’s the third day.“According to the plan, we’ll be releasing our final batch.“If that woman comes again, I’m afraid…”Arlet Pagan was helpless.It would be nothing if the woman only found a few gems; not only would it hype the atmosphere, but the customers would also be in a craze after

Ten o’clock in the morning.With Harvey York and Kade Bolton’s lead, they came to an antique stone gambling site.The place was renovated into a stadium that could hold thousands of people.Taller and taller balconies could be seen all over the place.The stadium was divided into three sections.Two sections were filled with stones everywhere, but only a few people walked around. The places were completely desolate, to say the least.The remaining part of the stadium had workers placing stones along with their respective price tags.This was clearly where the third batch was going.Many people were gathered here while happily chatting in high spirits.For the people well-versed in the scene, only specific types of gems could grab their attention.Harvey and the others came to the VIP area, and they looked in front.A group of people in traditional clothing stood not far away from them.They were all standing with serious looks.The woman in the middle was wearing a purple

Along with Kora’s movements, a few men in black hopped down from the balcony before shoving the crowd aside to get to the stones.The stones varied in size. Some looked smooth and plump, while others were simply deformed.The men in black did not waste a single second. After paying for the stones, they immediately got the smiths to start working.“Gems! Gems! Gems!”The crowd was exhilarated when they saw the sight.The women screamed in excitement, as if they had never seen money before in their entire lives.The place completely heated up in an instant.“The same thing happened twice before, but nobody noticed it the first time,” whispered Arlet.“But on the second time, everyone’s attention was completely captured.“This time…”Arlet shook her head with a hint of helplessness showing between her furrowed brows.The Pagan family had no choice but to remain passive since Kora already made her move.Their reputation would be tarnished entirely if the family did not act at a

Arlet Pagan’s eyes kept twitching after hearing Kora’s words. A sense of coldness shrouded her beautiful face.“The Pagan family only does honest business!“Our antiques are all genuine!“If you like to, you can stop by anytime!”“Is that so?Kora smiled faintly as she leaned forward.“Tell me, if I went to your family’s antique shop and pointed at a few things, saying those are the only genuine antiques there…“Would everyone believe me?“Or would they believe your crumbling reputation instead?!”Arlet’s face changed in an instant.“You’re shameless!”“That’s right! I am shameless!Kora stepped forward before patting Arlet’s face.“That said, I can give you a chance.“Hand over fifty-one percent of the Archa Corporation’s shares. Only then I’ll let your family go.“Just leave the paperwork to me.“Of course, you can decline the offer, but there’ll only be one outcome waiting for you…“Bankruptcy!”“You…”When Arlet wanted to slap Kora out of rage…Someone tapped on
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 5302
In everyone’s eyes, Harvey York was just an idiot.‘He wants to gamble against Kora?’‘Who does he think he is?’‘Is he even worthy?’‘Even the Pagan family, one of the six Hermit Families, was utterly beaten by Kora!’‘What else can Harvey even do?’‘Under these circumstances, ordinary people would’ve made a deal with Kora. Maybe even pampering her so she wouldn’t cause any more trouble.’‘He must be desperate to die for going against her like this!’The people behind Kora showed judgmental gazes while looking at Harvey, scoffing.Arlet Pagan wanted to say something but briefly hesitated before letting Harvey decide.“Are you scared, Kora?Harvey showed a calm expression.“I’ll pick twelve stones too. I guarantee the gems I picked will definitely be worth much more than the ones you picked. How does that sound?”Everyone scoffed after hearing Harvey’s statement.They were wondering what sort of bet Harvey would come up with.‘Gambling stones?‘How can this guy, who cam
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 5303
Naturally, Kora knew who Harvey York was. She knew she might not have the upper hand if she also took action.She intentionally pretended to stop the people behind her so that Harvey would not have an excuse to fight.If Harvey still fought under those circumstances…He would be questioned even if he was the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance.At the same time, Kora only called Harvey a lackey so that he could not reveal his identity. She could continue pressuring him that way.The crowd was showing utter disdain when they looked at Harvey.‘No wonder he’s been barking at everyone he sees! He’s a dog for the Pagan family!’‘Then again, it’d be better if he just killed himself instead!’‘He’d at least be able to benefit from being a kept man. He has nothing if he’s just a lackey!’If the turf did not belong to the Pagan family, the people would have drowned Harvey in their spit by now.The whole situation was a bit chaotic. Kora and the others were just abou

Kora glared coldly after hearing Harvey York’s words.She squinted while sizing up Harvey with her narrow eyes before scoffing.“Scared?“I’ve never had that word in my dictionary since I was a kid!“I dissected cats and dogs myself since I was three!“I stayed a night alone in a cemetery at six!“I even dragged a damn corpse back home from the morgue when I was nine!“I’ve never known fear!“Then again, I’m not interested in a lame bet like yours.“If you’re willing to up the ante, I’m willing to play!”Kora showed a cold expression.“That said, do you dare?”“Talk,” replied Harvey.“If I lose, I’ll crawl my way out of the damn city.“If you lose, you do exactly the same.“How does that sound?”Harvey chuckled.“That’s barely enough…“Why don’t I add something else?“If I lose, I’ll be yours for the rest of my life! I’ll do whatever you tell me to!“But if you lose, you’ll have to do whatever I say!“Well? Do you dare?”Kora stood frozen before showing a hint of

Harvey could not stop rolling his eyes as he could feel his head throbbing again, but he still suppressed what he was feeling. "Thanks, but I don't like anything too greasy in the morning. I prefer vegetarian if possible. You can put the deep-fried hoppers aside. I'll reheat it in the afternoon."Vaida blinked her beautiful eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "I see. We'll set it aside for now, then. This is a local delicacy in Grand City. You can't even buy this with money.""Thanks; I appreciate it," replied Harvey, feeling the pressure. He had no choice but to get himself a bowl of oats with milk and slowly eat it. Harvey was worried Vaida might add something special to the oats or milk, but after eating, he realized there was nothing weird in it. It was just delicious.If food also had realms, while this was not at the level of a True Warrior, it was definitely at the level of a King of Arms. That was something that Harvey found surprising."Right, Harvey. I heard you become
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 6944
"Oh, right," Geoffrey remembered something else. "While Harvey was the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, his identity isn't accepted by the seven families of Grand City. In other words, he has no support in Grand City at all. Even if everyone recognized that he is indeed your man of destiny, it's difficult for him to become mayor. Grand City is no longer the same city as it was a decade ago."Vaida frowned and said, "Getting Harvey to garner support in Grand City is not difficult. Find a way to make him the leader of the Belladonna Cult. Before making him the mayor, we can make him the cult leader first."That way, not only can we make it easier for Harvey, but we can also disgust the hell out of Dan. He's been obsessed with taking over the cult, right? Does he really think he can become mayor after becoming the leader of two of the seven families? He's dreaming!"Geoffrey was speechless. "Things aren't as easy as you think. If you simply give the cult to Harvey
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 6943
"Not to mention, during the decade that the ex-mayor had disappeared, the entire Grand City had lost their respect toward him and the Belladonna Cult. Even you have become someone who only existed in the fringe. While Grand City looks like it didn't have a singular leader, the Hierophant's prophecy was guiding everything."That’s why we must be patient. On the one hand, we needed to make Harvey accept all of this. On the other hand, we have to rebuild a solid foundation as we advance. We will make the entirety of Grand City understand that the Belladonna Cult is still the same cult that rules over all! Only then can we obtain everything he has left for us."Then, Geoffrey cleared his throat. "Even I can wait for so long. I believe you'll be fine, correct?"Vaida gave it a thought, but she still hesitated. It was good for her that someone like Harvey, who fit the prophecy, appeared. But the problem was… This was supposed to be done slowly. Trouble was brewing underneath Grand City. H

"Kill him? Why should I?' Dan pulled out a long cigar and lit it up. After a huff, he puffed out a ring of smoke. "I've just received news that Vaida has gone crazy, and she's sure that Harvey was the man of her destiny. That way, once he leaves Grand City, she would die of depression or kill herself. Looks like I can become the mayor soon. The Hierophant didn't lie to me…"-There was no difference between the day-and-night cycles within Grand City and the world outside. When the sun finally set, Grand City was lit brightly, enticing everyone to enter.Harvey, who had been trying to send a sliver of his energy into Vaida, walked out of the room. There was a hint of fatigue on his face. He thought that it would be ineffective to do that. But he did not know why, after sending in his energy, Vaida managed to recover somewhat.Other than still being somewhat unstable and sure that Harvey was her man of destiny, she was slowly regaining control. Harvey felt a bit strange, but all he c

Harvey suddenly remembered something when he saw Vaida returning to her deep sleep. "I heard that Grand City doesn't have a mayor right now. Then, what's going on with the previous mayor?"Geoffrey sighed and answered, "After the Hierophant prophesied Vaida as the third incarnation of Grand City's progenitor, he had left Grand City to find a way to deal with this. A decade… He's gone for a decade, and no one has seen him since then. That's why everyone believes he's already dead. That's why the seven families agree that Grand City has no mayor right now."Harvey frowned. "Then, what about Dan?"Then Geoffrey replied, "Dan is the mayor's final disciple. But the old mayor had only taught him for less than a year before leaving Grand City. According to the city's rules, if Vaida is killed, Dan will become the leader of the Belladonna Cult. And he will also naturally become the mayor of Grand City."Harvey nodded. He had learned some more things. Vaida was indeed part of the Belladonna

According to Geoffrey, Vaida's condition was precarious. While no one was targeting her, she might jump into the sea on her own again at some unspecified time.A condition like that was very difficult to deal with. No matter what was torturing Vaida, Harvey believed that it might not be within his power to help her."Have you realized that Vaida seemed to be opening herself up to you in the final moments? She even fell into your arms," Geoffrey remembered something else. "Do you think her condition would improve if we simply continued with this? Of course, I know you're in love with someone else, so I am not imposing on you. But can you please stay with her as much as possible while she's in Grand City? This might stabilize her emotional state."Neve also nodded continuously. She could tell that Vaida's condition was severe and complicated. If Harvey refused to help, she might attempt to jump into the ocean again as soon as she woke up.Harvey was speechless and heaved a sigh. "You

Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 6938
"That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som
Harvey York's Rise to Power Chapter 6937
"No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
