Carmen could not help but step in front of Harvey York before fiercely sizing him up.“You better know what’s good for yourself!“Mr. Leighton’s treating you this well, and you’re still acting all high and mighty?!“You’re saying this is a huge crime?!“Come! Tell me!“What crime is it that I’m convicted for?!”Carmen pulled out a special credential with a name on it: Carmen Xeno.Harvey glanced at the credential before realizing it held an immense weight.But then, it was not enough to allow Carmen to bring a firearm on a plane either.Simply put, nothing would happen as long as nobody cared about Carmen or the others carrying firearms…But since that was the case, they would naturally have to pay a price for that.They should at least get their certificates confiscated and be locked up for a few days.Harvey started dialing a number on his phone, completely ignoring Carmen in the process.Carmen showed a colder gaze after seeing Harvey being this stubborn.“You’re still
Harvey York smirked.“I don’t know about that.“What I do know…“Is that his position as vice chairman will end soon.“Cherish the remaining weeks you have.“After all, he’d have nothing to do with the title after that.”In the beginning, Harvey did not care much if he became the chairman of Country H Commercial Group…After all, the organization was only a business alliance to integrate the country’s resources to combat outside forces.Harvey did not want too much to do with this since this was only commercial.After all, the citizens would be dragged down if some outsider were to ruin the structure of the business.If the entire organization’s higher-ups were similar to someone like Leighton Xeno, it might be prime time for a restructure.Carmen froze before she coldly chuckled.“Is that so?“Who do you think you are? The chairman himself?“Look yourself in the mirror before even claiming something like that!“How ignorant can you get?!”“Smart.“I am the chairman.”
The four black-suited men hesitated momentarily before putting their firearms away.Leighton Xeno took a deep breath, then approached Harvey York with a forced smile.“I’m sorry, young man!“My daughter’s been pampered her entire life! She’s just being rude!“Please! Be the better person and ignore her!“Carmen! Get over here and apologize!”Carmen stumbled off the ground with a horrible look.“Mr. Leighton…” she said while the corner of her mouth twitched nonstop.Leighton’s face darkened.Carmen approached Harvey after seeing Leighton getting mad again.“I’m sorry!” she exclaimed with resentment.“I told you before.“And I’m telling you this again.“What’s the point of the law if an apology’s enough?”Harvey looked like a powerless man when he uttered those words before…But now, he was an upperclassman looking down on his subjects.Carmen thought nothing would happen to her even if Harvey called the cops…But she had a strong feeling that she was wrong then.“It wa
“It’d be embarrassing to visit the police station. Our schedule would also be affected…“But if the kid’s from the top ten families or the five hidden families, he wouldn’t be able to cause us more trouble once we put up a good enough front.“We might even be able to visit him and apologize for what happened, too. That way, we’d get closer to a prominent figure than we might think.”Leighton Xeno blew out a puff of smoke.“But, what if he’s just filth who shows off?” asked Carmen Leighton vengefully.“Filth?Leighton glanced at Carmen.“If that’s the case, then we’ll get our revenge back, of course.“You’d be locked up for an hour. Why not lock him up forever as payback?“Remember: use your head when you speak next time.“This is a crucial moment to take the throne.“Be discreet. Do you understand?”Carmen lightly nodded while unabashedly showing her lust for revenge in her eyes.-While the two were turning themselves in, Harvey had already forgotten everything that happ
Instinctively, Aurelio Lee’s expression worsened.He glared at Harvey York as if he were a stinkbug before making a video call.“Hey! I’ll be a little late today!“Wait for me, okay? Remember to clean yourself up first!”Aurelio leaned toward the driver’s seat while blinding the person on the phone with the shiny logo at the front of the car.The hostess started acting cute after seeing the car logo.“You’ll keep your promise, right?“I took the leave tonight just to see you!“You won’t just ditch me here, will you?”“Of course not!Aurelio let out a scoff.“I’ll be honest with you. I was told to fetch a relative from the countryside. I thought it’d be some young master that I could introduce to your friends.“And yet…”Aurelio pointed the camera at Harvey.The hostess gasped.“My God!“My besties are destined to be married into wealthy families, you know!“Forget a poor sob like him!“Just chase him off with some money already! I’ll be waiting at the apartment!“I g
“If I tell your goddess about this, would she still insist on seeing you tonight?”Harvey York smiled faintly at Aurelio Lee.“You’re spouting nonsense! Of course she wouldn’t believe you!” exclaimed Aurelio in shock.He quickly tried to take Harvey’s phone away from him.But before he could, he was instantly slapped to the ground.“I know every single donation that she received, and I know when she gets online every time.“Do you really think she wouldn’t believe me after knowing that?”Aurelio’s eyes twitched.“How do you know all that…?” asked Aurelio in disbelief, his eyes frantically twitching.“You’re not Durin’s boss now, are you?”Slap!Harvey slapped him in the face again.“Take a gander.“If you guess correctly, I’ll let you do whatever you want without stopping you.“But if you’re wrong, I guarantee everyone in Durin will know about this.”Harvey casually sat in the backseat after that.Aurelio could only show off online because of a borrowed donation and the
Vroom!While Harvey York pondered the situation, the car was parked in front of a luxurious restaurant.There were similar establishments in Wolsing, where meals cost thousands of dollars. Ordinary people would not even set foot in places like these.And the Gare Pavilion, the building in front, was the best one of them all.The royal chef during the Whip Dynasty had been in charge of the legendary place in Wolsing. Even after being inherited from generation to generation, the taste had not changed even one bit.For many people, having a meal here was a thing to boast about for the rest of their lives.Harvey did not expect Mandy Zimmer to arrange a place like this just to welcome him.That said, he still quickly exited the car.“I got word from the concierge department that Ms. Mandy invited you here, Mr. York!“Prominent figures of Wolsing’s business world will be joining you today!“They’ll be waiting for you in the deluxe room! Please!“Right! Ms. Mandy’s secretary said
The room was about two thousand square feet with a round table in the middle and a ten-piece couch on both sides. It was an elegant sight.Eight fresh-faced people were holding their glasses on the couch when they heard the commotion.Their eyes were blatantly showing disdainful glares when they saw Harvey York’s clothes.All sorts of people resided in a place like Wolsing…But the disparity between people was huge as well.The young people were all prominent figures of the upper social circle, wealthy ladies and young masters.Their status was night and day compared to ordinary people.No random people could just come in contact with the circle, either.The woman at the front door came to her senses before she frowned.“Are you telling me that Mandy sent you?“How did you even enter the building in the first place?’Naturally, the woman knew how the Gare Pavilion operated. People who had clothes like Harvey’s would normally be stopped outside.Harvey could clearly hear the
