Chapter 5298

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
“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

    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

    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 York completely ignored Kora while she was showing off.He waved his hand, signaling for Kade Bolton to prepare a contract.In his eyes, the people from sacred martial arts training grounds are all pompous.Without a contract, it would be bad if Kora ignored the bet.After making the contract, Harvey signed his name before casually throwing it before Kora.Kora hesitated momentarily before signing her name while gritting her teeth.“Come! Seal this entire place up!”Kora scoffed after seeing Harvey take the contract. Naturally, she was pretty confident in her energy detection technique.She truly believed that Harvey would lose.Harvey squinted at Kora.“I won’t take advantage of you.“I’ll select twelve of the stones right here.“That’s perfectly fine, right?”Kora’s heart skipped a beat after seeing Harvey’s confidence.“Fine! I have one condition. My men will scramble the order of all those stones!“We won’t want anyone to cheat now, do we?”“Sure.Harvey wav

    Harvey York heaved a sigh.“You’re not even grown up yet, and you want me to call you that?“Little brat.”Kora’s face was completely flushed.“You bastard!” she shrieked.“How dare you tease me like this?!“When you lose, I’ll make you wash my feet every single day!”The men beside Kora were stunned before looking at Harvey with jealousy and envy.Harvey twitched before rolling his eyes.“Not interested.“If you lose, I’ll have you bring me tea, mop floors, and wash the damn toilet in the Fortune Hall every day!“You’ll have everything you need provided to you.“Food and a place of stay included. Don’t you worry.”Kora was breathing rapidly. She finally managed to calm herself down before speaking.“Crack open the stones!“I want to see how you’ll fulfill those words with all this hunk of junk!”Harvey smiled before signaling the smith to open the stones, completely ignoring Arlet’s worried expression.The smith hesitated for a moment before carefully opening a stone.

    The VIP seats opposite Maya had a group of men and women chatting loudly in plain clothing. All of them looked arrogant, and the way they looked down on others seemed second nature to them. A bald man was in the center of it all. He was wearing a simple white jacket and a pair of outdated cloth shoes. When he sat there, he looked like he was shifting between a state of awareness or sleep."This is the man leading the challengers. All of them called him Mr. Parker." Mandy's eyes immediately fell on this bald man as she explained. It was obvious that while she wasn't here all the time, she knew a lot about the underground boxing gym.Harvey then asked calmly, "He's so easily identifiable. You really can't find anything about him at all?""Nothing. But to him, money is nothing but a number," Mandy sighed. "He didn't look anything unique, but from the limited edition Richard Mille watch he's wearing? That watch is called a 'Billionaire's Watch'. Just that alone is proof enough of how

    "Even if they're really from another world, they wouldn't be anyone ordinary. They're dressed simply, but we could tell they're no ordinary people. They looked at all the other guests like they were ants, as if they stood on top of the world. Speaking of which, the one who led them was someone with the last name Parker…"At this point, Mandy found it difficult to continue the conversation. Not only did she lose so much money, but she wasn't even sure who she lost to. It was a total humiliation!"Parker… Not ordinary people… Looking down on everyone…" Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from Parkerville?"A few days ago, Harvey had just humiliated Clarion. In the days that followed, Clarion seemed to have completely disappeared. It didn't fit his modus operandi. Harvey started to suspect that the Parkers of Parkerville were behind this.Most importantly, they could anger him through Mandy. It seemed not everyone from Parkerville was brainless. At the very least, they were quite goo

    Mandy kept mum.Harvey sighed. "Fine. Let's not talk about closing the underground boxing ring. Explain to me what has been going on lately. Just how much have you lost?"Mandy took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat opposite Harvey. She picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp before saying with a sigh, "Because of what happened with the real estate earlier, the Ninth Branch can't simply open up new markets in a short time. We're bleeding money every day. "I realized the Ninth Branch can be supported by just the underground boxing ring. Unfortunately, even our profit from the ring is falling. One of our shareholders gave us the idea to allow guests to bring their own fighters rather than simply betting on fighters. That way, it becomes a competition between the host and the guest."A few days ago, a group of guests came with eight elites and wanted to bet with the underground boxing ring. They said they'll be betting 7 million dollars a match. I didn't want to agr

    Travis said mildly, "Logically speaking, you've been with Harvey for so long. You know him better than normal soldiers like us. You think that if we don't report what happens to him at such a critical time, we're hiding things from him. Won't he feel guilty once he finds out in the future?"In the past, he taught us that those who have martial power should serve the people and the country. Are you really going to say nothing to him at this point?"Ethan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We'll take it step by step. We might not really end up in a conflict on the border, so let me think about it."-The third ring of Wolsing, the Ninth Branch.In the CEO's office, Mandy had just poured Harvey a cup of coffee. She was stunned."How did you know about the underground boxing ring? We do have an asset like that, but since it's in a gray area, it's not suitable to be spoken of openly. "That place has raised a lot of martial arts elites and trained many of our security guards, which

    "You'll get your chance. Maybe you'll find a chance to kill him and it'll be fine," Harvey said, patting Ethan on the shoulder. "You're here in Wolsing to make your annual report, right? We'll finish this first, then we'll go to the Judds of Wolsing. There are certain things that we need to deal with first. As for someone like Clarion… Don't worry about him."There was a strange expression on Ethan's face, but in the end, he took a deep breath and said, "Alright. I'll listen to you. I'll come to help you once I've made my annual report at the ministry."Suddenly, Ethan remembered something else. "Right, there's something quite problematic you didn't know. I heard one of the underground boxing gyms belonging to the Ninth Branch of the Jeans of Mordu, where Mandy is from, has been continuously challenged by someone. They've lost dozens of matches, and it's causing huge losses in the past few days."The underground boxing gym is located in the countryside of Wolsing, and it should be

    While it was vital for Dan to see Sienna, it became something very few people noticed as the situation in Wolsing kept changing. This included Harvey. While his men had been keeping an eye on Dan and his entourage, even they couldn't confirm all his movements. A man like Dan had to keep their planned routes in secret more than anything else.Most importantly, there were quite a number of talented people around him. Even when George used everything Sky Corporation had access to, they couldn't find out everything clearly in a short time.After making their reports to Harvey, he made sure George's operations were funded even more and told George to find a way to hire more martial arts elites, as George's people were no longer sufficient to deal with what they had to do right now.The next few days had been quiet, as if nothing important was going to happen anymore in Wolsing.One morning, a man clad in military uniform stood outside Harvey's residence. It was Ethan Judd, the Longsword

    "Right, there's something else," Dan said as he slapped his forehead. "It's almost time for my grandmother's 90th birthday. She's a good friend of our teacher. If you have the chance, please convince him not to stay in Wolsing all the time. He should head to Grand City once in a while. He might think things through after that."Sienna nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'll try talking to him. After all, staying in Grand City for a few days might improve his condition."After half an hour, Dan quietly left the temple of the Saint of Death and got back into the red car. Shortly, the car started and slowly left the national park.Once the car was back on Wolsing's freeway, the woman who had been playing with it called Lanny beamed and asked, "So, how did it go? Did that junior of yours change her impression of you?"Lanny crossed her legs, and the fragrance from her tickled Dan's nose. He wished he could immediately pounce on her and pull her pantyhose away."Things aren't that easy," D

    "That's right, because he really impressed me. But the reason I'm impressed isn't because he has become the representative for the Martial Arts Alliance. It's simply because he's willing to fight for our country. Few people have such pure thoughts in this age," Sienna said after giving it a thought."That being said, few people know that I've been impressed. How did you find that out?"Dan smiled. "You must have forgotten something. While you're our teacher's last student, I'm also a favored student myself. Just because you called our teacher didn't mean we didn't remain in touch. I know you're impressed by him through our teacher as well. And I heard from our teacher that you want to find a chance to introduce him formally?" Hearing what Dan had said, Sienna nodded. She often mentioned Harvey to her teacher but did not expect her teacher to divulge it to Dan."The thought did cross my mind," Sienna said in honesty. "You should know that our teacher should have reached the level o

    "As for Parkerville controlling the Martial Arts Alliance? I don't think you need to do that. Among all the Sacred Training Grounds, Parkerville is the one Sacred Training Ground that is linked to the broader society the most. The Country H government is aware of your actions and is on their guard."If you really manage to become the representative, not only will the top ten families suppress the Martial Arts Alliance, but even the five hidden families and the four pillars will do that. That way, it will simply make our factions lose our power due to infighting. It's a demerit for all of us," Sienna said with a hint of sternness."If I were you, I would spend some time in Wolsing, have dinner with your representative, warn him a little, talk about cooperation, and then leave. This is the best choice for us, for you, and for the entire country."When Dan heard what Sienna had to say, he smiled. "Thank you for your thoughts. However, as a man, my life should be one of glory and passio
