‘Everlasting life?!‘This again?!’Harvey York just figured out why the Jean family was willing to sacrifice two branch heads for some bead.Everything made sense now.He had no choice but to go at this point.“I am interested in attending the auction here.”“Should I fetch you tonight, Master York?” asked Aria shyly.“It’s fine.Harvey shook his head.He had been attracting enough attention while he was at the university.Things would get hairy if a beautiful woman like Aria came to fetch him in a luxury car.He just wanted to avoid any unnecessary trouble.“Send me an address. I’ll head over there tonight.”Aria would not want to force Harvey.“Right. Just mention my name to the guards.“I’ll let them know about you.”After hanging up the phone, Harvey ignored everyone’s odd gaze when he texted Yvonne Xavier and Tyson Woods.The two texted back soon after.Harvey took a few glances before leaving in the afternoon when the classes ended.After seeing him leave, Lore
Aenar Temple was located in the Scuva Mountains range.However, the auction site was not held there. Rather, it was in a memorial tower about thirty miles away from the temple.The tower had thousands of years of history and was one of Aenar Temple’s properties.Because of the outskirts’ tourism development, many elegant buildings were built around the tower, turning it into a typical place of leisure.Harvey York took a shower and got into his usual clothing after classes before calling a cab to the venue.Many luxury cars could be seen all around the auction site.Not just ordinary luxury cars like BMWs and Audis, Lincoln Customs, Bentleys, and Rolls Royce Phantoms were also seen everywhere.Judging from this, it was clear that even a secluded place like the outskirts was filled with wealthy people.Harvey casually took a few glances before coming to the entrance. After mentioning Aria Surrey’s name at the reception, he was respectfully invited to enter.No matter how lavish
“You just waltzed in here?Judith Pedler was in disbelief.“This place is heavily guarded, Harvey! Don’t say things like that!“You’ll get yourself thrown out if you do!”“Heh! Nothing that came out of his mouth has been true anyway!Billie Higgs walked over before showing a cold glare.“If I’m correct, he must’ve used the Higgs family’s name to get in!“The others probably think he’s a part of the family! That has to be the only reason why!”Billie was being utterly disdainful and arrogant as she glared at Harvey.Harvey felt a little speechless. It was safe to say Billie was a little too good at holding grudges.Dark circles were forming around her eyes. She must have been so angry that she could not sleep a wink the previous night.“Billie’s right, Judith,” replied Harvey with a smile.“Everyone in the outskirts knows about this anyway.“I’m destined to become the Higgs family’s live-in son-in-law.“It’s only natural for them to let me inside, right?”Judith was shock
“Billie’s live-in husband?“Judith’s also interested in him? It’s not just some puppy love now, is it?”Everyone looked at each other with disbelief.Judith Pedler and Billie Higgs were well-known goddesses in the outskirts’ upper social circle.The two also had immense identities, yet they were involved with a kept man like Harvey York.Because of the arranged marriage, Billie could just divorce Harvey another time if she wanted to…But what about Judith?Her kindness and curiosity would kill the man!After all, a goddess like her would surely have many people pursuing her. Many fierce pursuers would not hesitate to slap Harvey aside either.Since Harvey was Billie’s to-be husband, and Judith was also interested in him, he would probably die without ever knowing why!“Billie’s been close to Asher recently. She probably wouldn’t want anything to do with Harvey.“Judith was just too naive. It’d be bad if she gets fooled by the man…”The woman in a black dress frowned.“No!
“The guy from yesterday?“The one who has an arranged marriage with Billie?” Asher Klein muttered to himself in confusion.“How did he get in here?“Did Harlan give him an invitation?”After pondering for a moment, Asher believed that to be the only possibility.Billie Higgs was only a relative to the family, but Harlan’s wife, Whitley Cobb, was quite famous, making Harlan Higgs’ identity rise to the top as well.The auction was relatively high profile, but it would be easy for Harlan to get an invitation for Harvey, judging from his status.That said, Asher did not understand why Harlan would do such a thing.“He’s not trying to show Harvey just how inferior he is compared to Billie…“That said, an old fox like him might do just that.“After all, because of the family’s credibility, voiding the arranged marriage won’t be easy.“But Harlan didn’t need to wait this long just to do something like this…“And now, Harvey’s even talking with Judith!“He’s just trying to die at
“Who else do you think I’m talking about?Alvaro Osborne turned around before looking at Harvey York.“You’re Harvey York, right? I’ve heard a lot about you.“You took down Teo and Roger?”“And you’re still provoking me after knowing that?”Alvaro gave a cold chuckle.“Do you think you can show off in the outskirts just because you beat some show-offs?”“What’s it to you?”Alvaro smiled after seeing Harvey’s nonchalant expression.He had seen many show-offs in his life. Every single one of them also ended up dying horribly.He quickly reached out to Judith Pedler, completely ignoring Harvey.“Give me your phone.“Don’t make me smash it.”Judith instinctively stepped back after hearing Alvaro’s fierce warnings.She had never liked him. All she felt was fear towards him.Many people constantly nagged her to be with him for the family’s sake, making her hate him even more.She even started to despise most men because of him.The flirty gazes were simply disgusting to her.
Everyone was already looking over because of Billie Higgs and Judith Pedler…Their jaws instantly dropped when Harvey York stood up against Alvaro Osborne.“Isn’t that Young Master Alvaro?! Isn’t he supposed to be training at the border? What’s he doing here now?”“That guy must be the one who sent Roger flying, right? He’s going up against Young Master Alvaro too?”“Young Master Alvaro’s a ruthless man! He’ll die a horrible death for opposing him!”“I’ve heard of Harvey before! He was flaunting his strength at Oaklands University a few days ago! He must be pretty capable!”“Can Alvaro really take him on?”Someone scoffed after hearing those remarks.“Seems like you’ve never heard of Young Master Alvaro!“He’s just a junior at the university, but he was already enlisted in some legendary army when he was just a freshman!“It’s said that he’s been through many wars and conflicts for the past three years!“He’s basically a King of Arms now!“More importantly, other than his i
At the same time, where Harvey York and the others were.After seeing a huge fight about to break out, Billie Higgs frowned and stepped forward.“I know that you care about Judith, Young Master Alvaro…“But she’s just getting to know a friend. There’s no need to report everything to you, is there?“Besides, this is Aenar Temple’s territory. It’ll be unwise for you to do whatever you please.”“Is that so?Alvaro Osborne let out a cold chuckle.“Can Aenar Temple even go against the Border Force?Then, he glanced at Harvey.“Since you want to die so badly…“I’ll send you your way then.“I’ll find a good place to bury you after that.“Don’t worry. I’ll pay for everything.”Harvey nodded before he was about to speak.A middle-aged monk in a yellow robe came forward. The crowd immediately parted as soon as he showed up.“Hello.“The Aenar Temple is a place of tranquility.“According to the rules, no one is allowed to cause trouble here.”The person was the director of the t
Very quickly, many Islanders ran to the stage. All of them were wearing the Islanders' traditional summer garb. The way they stood and the way they lifted their beard made them easily identifiable as Islanders.According to how unified Islanders were, everything they said would most likely be true.When Linus saw what was happening, sat down and folded his legs. His sexy secretary helped him light up a cigar. He took a deep breath, then looked at the unfolding scene with interest.Very quickly, the Islander leading the men took a step forward and said angrily, "Everyone! I'm Shinto Way's disciple, Tojo Nomura. I'm also the leader of the disciples still in Country H. "A few days ago, the Xaviers of Wolsing requested a marriage with our Young Master, Shingen. They have also signed a lot of contracts with us. Some of them include how Shinto Way will transfer the shares of our assets in Country H to them, while they will have to transfer ownership of their business on the Island Natio
When Yvonne saw Linus pulling out things they shouldn't and even giving them to the reporters, she instantly realized that he cared little about the consequences anymore.What he did was to ensure the Xaviers were blamed for everything. Even if he gained nothing from it, he still wanted to do it just so the Xaviers would have a hard time in Country H. He even wanted to use this to make both Country H and the Island Nation to force them to publicly deal with Shingen's death.Harvey, who caused all of this, would be in a lot of trouble. Yvonne looked at Linus coldly. "Linus, you know that taking things out of context and making up stories won't be beneficial to you. Where's your conscience?""Conscience? What's that?" Linus said with an exaggerated expression. "I'm not the one who killed Shingen. It's you Xaviers of Wolsing and the prospective son-in-law you wanted. Are you afraid others will find out? I'm just someone who knew the truth with a righteous heart!"I can't bear to see
The faces of Yvonne and the others from the Xaviers all shifted a little. It was obvious they didn't expect an Islander to appear. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at all of this coldly.Journi, who was a little bit surprised, turned to Harvey subconsciously. "What's going on?""We're simply giving the full package. The most difficult part of all of this was to explain why the Islanders would give up. Rather than waiting for others to expose the truth, why don't we give everyone the truth?" Harvey said calmly."What do you mean?" Journi said with a frown. "Simple. While these people are Islanders, they'll work for money. In this situation, the words of an Islander are more effective than the words of a hundred people from Country H…"Journi was curious about what Harvey wanted to do, but then some of the reporters realized what was happening. "Are these allegations from the Islanders true? Did you really assassinate Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, who wanted to improve the relationship
All the reporters and attendants were captivated by Yvonne's story. They didn't expect a commercial clash would be even more exciting than what they watched in dramas. At the same time, Yvonne highlighted the helplessness she felt when she was forced to marry Shingen. Everyone pitied her for what she had to do.As for how they dealt with Shingen, Yvonne simply brushed it over, saying that the Xaviers managed to get what they were after. She sighed and said, "These are all supposed to be secret, something not supposed to be revealed. The reason I revealed everything today is that I wanted to prove that the Xaviers didn't have much to do with the Island Nations."You can investigate this and see whether it's real or not, and I can bear full responsibility for what is said today. Also, to prove everything that I said and destroy baseless accusations, I now invite our patriarch Mr. Nashon Xavier to speak with everyone right here and now."With a wave of her hand, a door was opened fro
"First of all, the Xaviers had never thought of working with the Islanders. Not in the past, not in the present, not in the future. "Secondly, I will never marry an Islander. I'm born here, and my allegiance is to our country. "Thirdly, there are some photos on the internet about contracts and weddings. I acknowledge that they do exist, but I can swear to all of you that it is simply the result of a commercial clash. And in the end, the Xaviers have won. Please don't worry about the process. Just take note of the result." Yvonne spoke calmly and honestly.She also didn't hide the wedding that she shouldn't be speaking about. She acknowledged it, not trying to hide or evade the question. There was only silence; everyone felt Yvonne's sincerity.Normally speaking, when someone started a press conference like this, it was so that they could wash some of the rumors away. However, Yvonne didn't do that. She simply stated the truth. And it was truth like this that was the most trus
Since Harvey already had his decision, Yvonne wasn't going to say anything else. She made a few calls and they began the acquisition. This time, they were going to use Harvey's capital and name, so on the surface, this had nothing to do with Sky Corporation.In other words, even if Country A noticed someone was acquiring all the shares in the stock market, they wouldn't be able to tell it was Sky Corporation for the time being. Once they realized who was the one acquiring the shares, it would be too late.After that was done, Harvey gave Journi a sly smile. "Is there anything else we should do? "Dealing with the rumors and making a declaration are already impressive moves. There's only one last move to make," Journi chuckled. "Tomorrow, when everything will be settled, the Xaviers will need to organize a major news conference. There, the patriarch Nashon Xavier would need to reveal himself. That way, we'll be able to dispel the rumors without needing to exert any more effort. A l
As the proofs had all been posted online, some netizens writing badly against the Xaviers immediately separated into two camps.A few still believed that the Xaviers had turned coat, but most believed in the Xaviers. Yvonne was still single, after all. That alone was enough to gain their trust."I told you. The Xaviers were one of the top ten families in country H. They wouldn't have become a servant to the Islanders.""The beautiful ladies from our country should remain single instead of letting anyone have them.""I believe someone is targeting the Xavier family. Maybe this is an action from some overseas forces. Don't believe those lies, everyone!""The Xavier family has already published their explanation. They've even posted their contracts on their website for everyone to check. It's enough to prove that they had nothing to hide.""The relevant departments should interfere with this as soon as possible and restore their reputation."Everyone sighed in relief when some neti
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
