“If you don’t want that, then get out of here already.“Stop embarrassing yourself.“You’re not welcome here.”Harvey York scrolled through his phone as he casually spoke. A lazy yet indescribable fierce aura could be felt coming from him at that moment.The beautiful women from the rear were cackling with their red lips covered.In their eyes, Harvey was a little too cocky.People who acted this arrogantly would usually end up with a horrible fate after all.‘Can’t this bastard tell?’‘Caspian’s the impressive one here!’‘What does it mean to make a strong comeback?’‘This does!’“Bold words, Harvey.“It’s a shame that you’re finished!Caspian Lee shook his head, looking as if he was the king of the world.“You keep causing me trouble…“You even locked up Mr. Tojo…“Do you even understand the price you’ll have to pay for all this?”“I think you said something similar when you came by previously.“I’m still standing here, though.“If you can even do anything to me, y
“Besides, if someone like Mr. Neil actually supports me…“Do you think you’d have the right to speak here?”Harvey York smiled at Caspian Lee.‘This guy really doesn’t know his limits…Caspian’s face darkened instantly. He knew Harvey was right.“Enough chit-chat, Harvey!Cullen crossed his arms when he walked before Harvey, then sized him up with an indescribable disdain.“You’re not from the top ten families, the five hidden families, the four cornerstones, or the sacred martial arts training grounds!“You simply have no right to speak that way in front of me!”Harvey let out a chuckle.“I thought someone like you wouldn’t be afraid of anything.“That’s a lot of people you’re scared of, huh?”Cullen Hunt trembled in rage.He quickly took a deep breath before speaking again.“Mr. Naruse is an important guest of the Island Nations. The Shinto Way and the Hunt family also have a good relationship!” he exclaimed coldly.“Besides, the Toyotomi family promised us a lot of be
Harvey York disdainfully stepped back, but Cullen Hunt and the others saw it as him being afraid.At this very moment, even Caspian Lee was showing a disdainful gaze.Harvey glared back at Cullen after he stood still.“No matter how good you string your words together, you’re still just taking advantage of people!”“You’re wrong! Mr. Cullen only uses reason!“If you’re upset, he’ll ensure you are!”Caspian stepped up with an arrogant look.“You have Neil behind your back, but we have Mr. Cullen too!“Not only are we here to deal with you, we’re also here to trample you under our feet!“What? Are you upset?“If that’s the case, then get someone more impressive than Mr. Cullen!“It’s not that I’m looking down on you!“That said, people like you are destined to be powerless!“Right! You like beating up people, right? You also like slapping people around, don’t you?!“Come on! I’ll put my face in front of you! Let’s see if you even dare to lay a finger on me!”Caspian proudl
Caspian Lee was the one slapped.But he also got hit in front of Cullen Hunt.This meant utter disrespect towards him!The Hunt family was treated like decorations!“You bastard!A cold aura exuded from Cullen.“Are you treating me like I’m invincible or what?!”The fierce men pulled out their firearms as the atmosphere around them immediately turned colder. They quickly spread out, prepared to fight to the bitter end.Harvey York disdainfully wiped his fingers with some tissue.“Everyone here heard it.“Caspian wanted me to do it.“I’m a generous man.“Since he’s been begging me, I’d let him down if I refused.“Right. No need to thank me.“It’s only natural for a kind man like me to give without hoping anything in return.”Harvey squinted at Caspian when he was completely boiling with anger.He had never seen such an arrogant man in his entire life.“Fine! Have it your way!Cullen pointed at Harvey with his cigar.“Nobody has ever dared to ignore me in front of so m
It was clear that Cullen Hunt had already anticipated Neil Osborne’s arrival.He had simulated everything that was supposed to be played out countless times in his head, even before coming here.His words hit Neil straight to his weak spot.“I’ve done everything for fairness and justice,” replied Neil with a cold glare.“Do you think something like reputation works on me?“Surely you don’t believe I’ll be scared off with just a few words now, do you?”Cullen cracked a smile.“You just don’t know what’s good for yourself, do you?“I was planning to show you some respect since we’re both from the five hidden families.“But since you’re being like this, then don’t blame me for being frank.“You only got to your reputation because of your family’s support.“You’d be just a useless pawn once you throw that away!“Who knows what’ll happen after that?“Even if you don’t care about all those things, at least think for your wife and daughter!“You wouldn’t want your daughter to be
When Neil Osborne was just about to lash out, he suddenly felt a hand placed on his shoulder.“Go have your meal, Mr. Neil.“This was my problem to begin with.“I can deal with this. You don’t need to worry.”Harvey York stepped forward before smiling faintly at Neil.“Evil people will always be done by the same people.“You’re a good man. You’re not experienced enough to deal with shameless people like him.“But I’m different!“I know exactly what to do!”Harvey pushed Neil into the Budokan while showing a weird expression.Justin Walker stood up before dragging Neil by the hand.“There’s no need to stand up for Sir York, Neil.“He deals with people like this all the time.“He’d crush every single one of them the same way.“You should just sit back and watch the show.”Prince Gibson smiled.“You may not know about Sir York’s abilities, but we know him all too well!“Just relax.”Layne Naiswell lightly nodded without saying a word, quietly acknowledging Justin and Pri
Harvey York calmly glanced at Cullen Hunt standing before him.“I did arrive here.“That said, I met someone named Cullen.“He said he came from the Hunt family.“He boasted about his family being impressive because of its two Gods of War.“Let me ask you something, Ethan Hunt.“Is your family really that impressive?“Even if that were the case…“Are you people planning to stand for the Islanders as well?“Should I be disappointed in you or what?”Harvey spoke sternly.He would not be as upset if Cullen flaunted his strength through different means…But Ethan and Travis Hunt were the ones who gave him courage.Even he was siding with the Islanders, no less.Harvey’s words were as cold as night at this moment.“I remember someone named that in the outskirts.“He’s a relative of the family.“He’s in charge of the Hunt family’s business in the Desert Province, and he’s considered the spokesperson of the family’s interests.“Then again, we never permitted him to take adva
“Don’t you dare spout more nonsense, you bastard!”An internet-famous woman could not hold her feelings back.“Mr. Cullen belongs to the Hunt family!“Everyone in the Desert Province has no choice but to pay him respect, no matter their side!“Even us Islanders would have to do the same!“And yet, you’re here demanding him to kneel?!“Are you insane?!”The woman was well-known for her adult films.After going viral, she was chosen by the Shinto Way to become one of the members of the visiting group.She had been serving Cullen Hunt willingly despite having to wait an hour for his drugs to kick in every time.But in just an hour, Cullen demonstrated not only his vast knowledge but also his domineering attitude.A prominent figure like him surely would not be taken advantage of by some random nobody.“Is that so? You’re that impressive?”Harvey ignored the woman when he smiled faintly at Cullen.“Why don’t you tell the lady how long you can stay this way, Mr. Cullen?”“Shu
Soon, Harvey and Alexei walked into the auction hall discreetly with their heads low.The auction hall was incredibly spacious. It resembled a grand stadium, with individual seats placed all over. In the middle of the stadium was a tall auction platformThere was still some time before the start of the auction, but most of the guests were already there. Everyone nodded toward each other and started chatting. Not only was this an auction, but a lot of people also treated this as a place where they could socialize.Harvey and Alexei had been brought to seats at the corner by the staff. Harvey didn't mind this location. He picked up a tablet in front of him and started to swipe it. The content was mostly about the items up for auction."Hello, everyone! It is good to see all the familiar faces in Grand City's Charity Auction once more," said an old man with a cool expression in traditional garb as he appeared on the platform. His voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear.There w
Harvey frowned. "Isn't that a little too far-fetched? An Oracle Text that can predict the future?"Alexei shook his head. "Don't underestimate the Hierophant, Big bro. Few people throughout history could decipher the Book of Changes so thoroughly. "It was said that there was a prince from some oil-producing country who managed to get an Oracle Text that showed the word Chaos."It was predicting that his country would fall into chaos. That prince made early preparations. Half a year later, that country fell into chaos, but the prince managed to prepare for it and suppressed the chaos. He even gained a lot of benefits from it. "After that, the Hierophant's Oracle Text became extremely popular!"Alexei spoke as if he were explaining to Harvey some ancient secrets. He glanced around sneakily, like he was worried that someone would hear him gossiping about the Hierophant.After Harvey heard it, he became curious. "Looks like this Hierophant really has something unique about him. No
Around ten in the evening, Alexei took Harvey to the Grand City's Charitable Auction. The auction was organized by the priesthood. Every time they had an auction, they would invite the socialites to attend.To the socialites, the mysterious Grand City would only show a little bit of itself around this time. In this auction, everyone used H dollars. Of course, there were times when bartering was possible, with the preface that both sides found the trade agreeable.Harvey had also learned about the details of the auction before coming. The mayor was at the top of the social hierarchy, followed by the Seven Families. However, because Wenzel had been missing for all these years, the Hierophant had been leading the Seven Families. That was why the Priesthood's social standing was far higher than before, despite being just a non-essential body in the past.For example, the one who chaired this auction this evening was the so-called Priestess. Harvey had heard plenty of rumors about
"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
