The Nine-Eyed Beads had significant meaning that had already surpassed their value. If the One-Eyed Bead was snapped in half, history would be broken.The sacred treasure would be lost forever.Harvey was simply insane for suggesting something like that!Stefan appeared nonchalant at first, but…“What did you say?!” he exclaimed, springing out of his seat.“I said, I’m snapping it in half to protect myself.” Harvey smiled casually. “1.3 billion dollars to protect me from a disaster that would cost me ten times that amount… That seems worth it, no?”Harvey twirled the One-Eyed Bead around.Many stood up and started to pant. Even without Harvey doing anything, everything would be finished if the bead dropped to the ground!‘He’s insane! He’s definitely insane!‘Stefan has no morals, but Harvey’s on a different level!‘By doing this, he’s about to go against everyone!’Miley couldn’t help but stand, her face cold.“Is this man insane, Aria?! He wants to snap the bead in half?
Stefan felt his heart clog after hearing Harvey’s words.‘This bastard’s crossing the line! He’s going this far just because he has reason on his side?!‘He’s using the sects’ reputation, and he’s even threatening me! And he wants me to protect him as well?!’Stefan didn’t know where Harvey got his courage from. His breathing grew rapid; he didn’t know what to do after seeing all this. “How dare you threaten him, you bastard?!”Before Stefan could make a decision, Miley came from the back and shot Harvey a deathly glare.She couldn’t stand Harvey’s prideful expression. She was already humiliated back in the Surrey family’s residence…She didn’t think he’d dare humiliate Stefan too!He was clearly looking to die!This was simply unforgivable!Harvey looked like he was on the same side as Aria. If that was the case, Aria could probably trample all over Stefan as well.Realizing that, Miley wanted to rip Harvey to shreds.“I’m not threatening Stefan, Ms. Miley. I just want to
A monk behind Stefan was showing murderous intent in his eyes.Stefan’s breathing almost stopped at the same time.Harvey’s actions were no different from killing him.For the sake of all the sects, nothing could happen to the legendary Nine-Eyed Beads. If not, even the Aenar Temple wouldn’t be able to give him an explanation, let alone Stefan.Not just Evermore, even the sects here knew that everlasting life could be achieved with the nine beads combined.The One-Eyed Bead had been hidden for a long time. Now that it did appear, there was a possibility to witness the legend.And yet, the One-Eyed Bead was about to be destroyed because of Harvey’s recklessness!If that actually happened, the Aenar Temple wouldn’t hesitate to take out Stefan.“The legends will end here, everyone…”Harvey smiled.“Nobody will be able to witness all Nine-Eyed Beads in the same place anymore. People sure like tragedies!”Harvey applied more force to his thumbs.Everyone gasped. Aria couldn’t ev
Miley froze after hearing Harvey’s words.“Who do you think you are? You want him to kneel?“Even if you’re six feet under, Mr. Stefan will never kneel! Who do you think he is?“Only God can make him do such a thing! At least look in the mirror first before saying something like that!”Harvey chuckled.“Well now, you’re going to have to grovel.”Miley’s eyes were ice-cold. “You’ll suffer a horrible death speaking to him like that! Let me tell you something! You…”Slap!Before Miley finished talking, Stefan had already slapped her to the ground.“Shut up! Shut up right now!”“Mr. Stefan! Why?!” Miley covered her face, filled with disbelief. She didn’t think she’d end up like this after speaking up for Stefan.Slap!Stefan swung the back of his palm forward again, sending Miley flying. He couldn’t care less about holding back at this point.After kicking Miley in the face a few times, he coldly spoke up.“If you keep yapping, I’ll kill you myself!”Because of her, he had
After a moment, Harvey kept the One-Eyed Bea.“I can feel his sincerity now.“Since the bead’s mine, I’ll naturally take good care of it.“However, I heard there’ll be a ceremony for the Aenar Temple not long after this. Maybe I’ll give it out when that happens.“Hopefully you’ll treat me to some tea by then, Mr. Stefan.”Harvey then turned around and left.Everyone was dead silent.‘Where did he come from? He’s terrifying!‘He managed to get someone like Stefan to suffer this badly!’Stefan slowly stood up before glaring at Harvey. Nobody knew exactly what he was feeling. However, his hand was clearly shivering in anger.He would’ve thrown hands if he didn’t hold himself back.It was only natural for him to be this angry, though.He came to acquire the One-Eyed Bead for the Aenar Temple. Not only would it become a great story, he’d be able to rise in the ranks in the Aenar Temple. His position would be completely solidified.Harvey’s appearance not only screwed with his p
The auction ended without a sound. What happened on the third floor would never be revealed.Everyone knew that Miley’s threats weren’t just empty words.If someone spoke about what happened, the ruthless woman would surely find out everything before slaughtering said person along with their entire families.Naturally, not a lot of people would talk about Harvey either. However, his name would be etched in the hearts of every single person in the outskirts’ upper social circle.They couldn’t go against someone like Stefan, but they wouldn’t dare challenge Harvey either.After all, someone who dared to make Stefan kneel were naturally extraordinary people as well.After going to the parking lot, Aria hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up.“Going against Mr. Stefan might be a bad idea, Sir York…”“What? Is he that impressive?”Harvey had no intention of looking up Stefan’s identity in the first place. He disliked the way that Stefan did things, but he decided to f
After a few minutes, the car finally left the tower and reached the highway.“It doesn’t matter if you’re scared or not, Harvey,” Aria said.“After that incident, you’re fated to go against Stefan. There’s no chance for you two to reconcile anymore.”Aria was filled with disbelief. She saw that Harvey managed to make Stefan grovel in front of him, but it still felt like a dream nonetheless.Or rather, there weren’t a lot of times that the three great temples would suffer, since their status was simply too powerful—let alone a consul.Aria was wondering how she was going to report the situation to Lennon.She wanted the Surreys to stay away from Harvey for the time being.He was a strong man, but he was simply too dangerous. His actions were incompatible with the family as well.Harvey looked calmly at the cars outside the window. Nobody knew if he managed to see through Aria or not.“Do you really think that without what happened… Everything would just end without a hitch, Ms.
“Judging from Stefan’s actions, maybe your family has one of the Eyed Beads…”Harvey smiled faintly.Aria shivered.“But that doesn’t sound right at all. I heard that many years ago, the four great tribes and the Wolven Tribe’s two families had one each.“The three great temples, too.“All Nine Eyed Bead are split to the outskirts’ different forces.“But as time passed, the legends became untrue.“For example, where did you even get the bead if it was true?”“Who knows what’s actually real or not anyway?“That said, the Aenar Temple has a reason to target the Surrey family. Your grandfather knows exactly why.“Another thing. The three great temples are used to being high and mighty after so many years. They have no respect for the outside world anymore.“Judging from Stefan’s actions, they have no bottom line either.“Tell your grandfather to get ready. The outskirts are about to be in an uproar.”After seeing the dark clouds outside the window, Harvey chuckled.“A storm’
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
