Harvey turned on his phone’s speakers despite Yvonne and Ray beside him.“What’s up, Ethan?”Normally speaking, Ethan wouldn’t call Harvey on his own; something must’ve happened.“There’s something I’d like to ask, Sir York; are you in Wolsing right now?”Ethan hesitated for a moment before speaking up.“Is this about your family?”“Keen eye as usual.”Ethan bitterly chuckled.“Just now, I received reports of the direct descendant plotting against someone with your name.“I was wondering if it was actually you. Those people want to die at this point…”Ethan awkwardly changed the subject.“That said, they didn’t mean to do all this; they’re just panicking at this point. For my sake, please let them off the hook…”Harvey smiled.“I wouldn’t be taking your call right now if I cared.“We’ve been brothers for many years now; just say what’s on your mind. I’m already annoyed with how much you’re beating around the bush right now.”“Can’t hide anything from you, Sir York,” Etha
Half an hour later, Harvey sat in the back of a Rolls-Royce after his breakfast.The professional driver was none other than the person who had the blessing to meet Harvey before—the butler himself.The butler couldn’t help but feel disdain when seeing Harvey’s face.After all, Harvey had already refused Marlee’s offer, yet he came back here just to check in on the old lady.The butler was sure that Harvey was just showing off at this point.Harvey ignored the butler’s expression and flipped through the documents that Ethan sent about her grandmother.That said, it was only natural for his information to be a little outdated since he wasn’t in Wolsing.Harvey kept looking through the documents before glancing at the butler.“What’s going on with the old lady right now?”The butler curled his lips, acting all high and mighty.“Just like a few days ago, she is still unconscious.“Because of your refusal to work with us, the family’s old man even asked a lot of well-known peopl
Harvey glanced around him, and saw a young female priest in a purple robe.The woman’s skin was as bright as snow, with an extremely beautiful face; she didn’t seem like a priest in the slightest.The people around seemed to be following her as well.Harvey remembered that people in purple robes were extremely well-respected.The priest felt Harvey’s gaze, and fiercely looking over. She showed a high and mighty expression. She finally looked away before treating Harvey as some talentless nobody.The others were completely disinterested in him as well.After all, the old lady’s situation was the most important.Anyone who solved the problem would be owed a huge favor from the Hunt family.“Thank you, everyone!”A man in his fifties, with a square face, slowly came over. Everyone showed stern expressions when they saw his face.“Mr. Veer!”It was clear this was the current person in charge of the Hunt family’s direct descendants, Veer Hunt. He was Ethan’s uncle, and the fathe
Veer Hunt’s eyes lit up slightly before reaching for Harvey York’s hand.“Sir York!“Marlee and Ethan mentioned about you!“No matter what happened, let’s just let bygones be bygones!“Since Ethan gave me his guarantee, I naturally trusted him too!“My mother’s life is in your hands now.”Harvey smiled.“You’re too kind.“But then, I have to tell you something right now.“This is to prevent further misunderstanding.”Veer froze.“Please.”“I don’t have the Honey Pill, but I’ll do my best to save the old lady.”Harvey looked deep into Veer’s eyes.Veer froze again after hearing Harvey’s honest words.His expression instantly darkened before regaining his composure.“I appreciate your honesty. There’s no need for my false hope anymore.“That said, I’m willing to give you a chance since Ethan recommended you.“Please!”Veer gestured to Harvey to step forward.Harvey could tell that Veer did not trust him anymore when he revealed the truth.That said, he was pretty imp
“Right! Right! Why did a kid like him get the last chance because of a recommendation?!”“What? Are all of us here useless compared to him?!”“He’s probably not as good as you think he is anyway! What are we supposed to do if he does something terrible to the old lady?“Who does he think he is?! He looks like he can cure everyone he wants to!”“Ms. Paislee is a true descendant of Mount Lynx! She’s a top talent of her sect, yet she wouldn’t do anything even after calculating her plan for so long!“Why would we care about a random nobody if that were the case?!”To those people, Harvey York was just someone who appeared out of nowhere to steal the limelight.More importantly, according to Veer Hunt’s statement, this would be the last chance anyone would get to treat her mother.Everyone would be satisfied if someone like Paislee Foster were to be the one to use the chance.But someone like Harvey would never be able to satisfy the crowd.While the crowd doubted Harvey, Veer jus
That said, it was only natural for those people to be enraged.After all, most of them had already brought their sects’ secret techniques and medicine just to curry favor with the Hunt family.Many were even prepared to go bankrupt just to get an opportunity here.And yet, what happened?Some empty-handed nobody came here to rob everyone of their chance.None of them would be happy if that was the case.A few beautiful women held their whisks while disdainfully glaring at Harvey York.In their eyes, ignorant men like him were just scumbags.Veer Hunt and the butler looked at each other before agreeing.They were being courteous towards Harvey only because of the Honey Pill.They only allowed him to perform to see if he could surprise them somehow.As for whether Harvey had the Honey Pill or not, they were unsure.Paislee Foster and the others standing up against Harvey would suit Veer’s interests better.This was why he remained silent for the longest time.Many times, si
“Not only do I know what you learned and think right now, but I also know that you’re condemning the old lady to her doom if you proceed with your plan!”Harvey York stepped forward before squinting at Paislee Foster.“We don’t know what’s going on with the old lady right now, but we know one thing for sure. Elderly people have weak bodies.“Once you infuse a sliver of your technique into her body…“Even if you manage to deal with the source of her problem, her body would also be ruined!“If I were you, I’d ask for the Lycan Pill to handle the situation instead! Maybe that’ll work better than your technique!“Oh! If I guess correctly, you probably have the pill here already.“Then again, those pills are expensive. The House of Priests doesn’t have many left, and making a new batch in this day and age would be almost impossible.“That was why you decided to use your Helianthus Technique first.“You’d have a guaranteed way to reverse the process if you screw up, right?Harvey s
“If that works, the Hunt family would’ve just looked for a masseuse. What are you even doing here for?”The monk’s face darkened instantly. He had no way to refute Harvey’s words. He desperately wanted to speak up but simply could not get himself to do so.Then, Harvey pointed at an elderly man wearing a goatee with a sage-like aura.“Don’t think I can’t tell you’re from the School of Humanitas just because you’re not wearing a robe.“You must have the Talisman of Tranquil up your sleeve.“It’s pretty effective against nightmares and people affected with aphasia.“But I guarantee you that it won’t be helpful this time.“Not only are your teachings completely useless, but the cinnabar you used to draw the talisman was also bought online.“You’re hoping it will work when you’re using fake ingredients? What a joke.The man pointed at Harvey when he constantly stuttered, unable to string proper words.“And you…”Harvey pointed at a man who seemed like he was from Seed Frontier.
