The car was dead silent the entire trip. The Porche came to a quiet path approximately an hour after driving down the viaduct.A manor thousands of acres big was found at the end of the path.Every single luxury car could be seen with gorgeous-looking people.This was the city suburbs, but every single corner was perfectly decorated with luxury and wealth in mind.Harvey York squinted momentarily before figuring something out. Other than being a simple restaurant and a banquet venue…This was also a resort that was established for people from the upper social circle.After all, ordinary people would not require a racecourse and golf courts.It was safe to say that only the top-rated people in Wolsing could spend their money here.After seeing Harvey squinting at the sight before him, Zhuri Vaus thought Harvey was just a country bumpkin who was severely culture shocked.She scoffed before speaking in a very prideful tone.“This is the Royal Manor, an extremely high-class estab
Harvey casually walked a few circles around the hall when he saw a variety of exquisite pastries and fruits on long tables.An enchanting champagne tower was also shimmering under the lights.A dozen chefs with white hats ran around the open kitchen before Western food dishes were served in rapid succession.Other than that, all sorts of entertainment facilities were also seen there, including cards and pool tables.The waiters were tall and had beautiful features, enticing the urges of everyone around them.It was clear that the place was made purely for entertainment.A dozen women with jewelry that would cost a fortune to any ordinary people were taking pictures together.Handsome men in suits held their champagnes and wine while they chitchatted eloquently.Some princes and young masters even played cards and worked out with their female companions.It was safe to say the luxurious place felt quite serene. Anyone coming here would surely feel right at home.Of course, onl
In Cason Lee’s mind…A young master capable of fighting was just icing on the cake.But so what if a poor sob could fight?Not only would that be completely useless, but they would also get themselves into unnecessary trouble!After all, no matter how good at fighting someone could be, the country simply had machines that could do that even better!There would be no chance even to throw a single punch!He planned to find an excuse to get Harvey kicked out before dealing with him.Other than Kylan Hunt, many more people were interested in Xynthia Zimmer.That said, it would be hard to drag her around to accompany guests with Harvey’s support.“Why do I have to explain myself to you?Harvey casually took a sip of his champagne.“Is this your property? Or do you belong to the organization hosting the banquet?“If not, then what right do you have even to question me?“You must be quite the nosy bastard, aren’t you?”“You…”Cason’s eyes twitched when he was instantly stumped.
“You don’t look like you’re supposed to be here, young man,” said the man while standing before Harvey York.“I’m afraid I’ll have to see your invitation, or you’ll have to tell me who brought you here in the first place.”Harvey swirled his glass around.“I have to prove my right to come in a rundown place like this?“Sure, but go find someone else to prove it first.”“You need to understand your situation here,” exclaimed the captain coldly.“Ms. Journi already has the entire place booked.“Without her invitation, nobody else is allowed here.“Especially those who only came to get free food and drinks.“If I were you, I’d be smart enough to leave after having enough food in my stomach.”The captain was disdainful. He was not showing Harvey any respect, as if he knew his speculation was spot on.Harvey put his glass down before briefly wiping his fingers.“And what makes you think I’m only here for the free food?“Everyone here owns a business under the Country H Commerci
“Whether I belong in the circle…“Or whether the circle’s worthy enough to have me…“Is none of your business, right?”“You’re right about that.The captain let out another cold chuckle.“That said, I have obligations to throw you out since you’re an outlier.“Of course, I’ll properly compensate for your damages if you can prove your identity.“But then, can you even do that?”Harvey seemed curious.“What are you going to do?“Grovel before me?”“You want me to grovel?” asked the captain in a gloomy voice.“Let me warn you, kid…“You shouldn’t talk this big in a place like Wolsing.“You want me, Frank Zummo, to grovel?“Who do you think you are? The chairman?“Of course, if you’re actually the chairman…“I’ll even call you ‘Daddy’ after groveling before you!”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Frank’s face.His actions were quick and deadly, completely catching Frank off guard.Everyone around quickly turned over after hearing the loud slap.“Your word
Zhuri Vaus’ eyes twitched when she briefly hesitated.“He’s right. He’s the next chairman of the organization.”“Huh?!”“What?!”“He’s the next chairman?!”“Did I hear things wrong?!”“Probably not. Zhuri’s the chairman’s personal secretary. She wouldn’t joke about things like this!”“So, you’re saying that the young man’s been playing dumb the entire time?!”Many people were filled with fear and disbelief.Even Cason Lee’s jaw had completely dropped then.Frank Zummo was filled with surprise before he thought of something.“Ms. Zhuri, this isn’t the person who was accidentally chosen as the new chairman now, is it?“The same person without any background who got chosen because the other council members didn’t want to vote for the opposition?Zhuri nodded.“Pfft!Frank smiled gloomily before tapping on Harvey York’s shoulder, forgetting the fact that he was already slapped in the face.“So, you’re the legendary Sir York!“I apologize for everything I said!“You’re als
When Zhuri Vaus desperately tried to steer Harvey York in the right direction, a group of young people showed up at the front door.A beautiful woman in a short, black Givenchy dress had her eyes lit up before wrapping herself around Zhuri’s arm.“Zhuri! You’re also here?“I thought you wouldn’t come! You didn’t answer when Young Master Kartier called you a few times!“He’s no ordinary young master, Zhuri!“His father’s one of the oldest council members in the Country H Commercial Group!“You won’t be embarrassed with him by your side!“Wolsing’s circle isn’t as small as you think.“That said, only a few people actually suit you.“Young Master Kartier’s also not a bad pick…”The woman with the sincere expression was probably Zhuri’s good friend.Zhuri quickly skimmed past the subject before looking back at Harvey again. She wanted to tell Harvey to do the right thing.At the same time, she started to regret bringing Harvey here since Kartier was arriving soon.The woman re
“Does she now?Harvey York smiled.“That may be true…“But, she’s clearly looking down on me.“Though, I can’t be bothered.“She’s just an ant to me anyway.”Harvey shook his head before casually raising his teacup.Hadlee Kennedy looked horrible.She came to give Harvey a lesson…And yet she was the one being looked down upon.“You!“Ignorant bastard!Hadlee scoffed.“Just you wait! When Young Master Kartier’s here, I’ll tell him everything that happened! We’ll see how you end up after that!”Zhuri Vaus’ expression worsened.“You should apologize, Harvey.“You’d be in trouble if she spills everything to Young Master Kartier.”“So what?“Why would I be scared of a council’s son?”Zhuri stomped her feet in anger.“Do you think you’re actually the chairman?!“Why wouldn’t you be scared?!“At this point, even the council’s subordinate can easily crush you!”Hadlee and the others were just about to question Harvey after hearing Zhuri’s remarks.But at this very mome
After that, the duo were just going to leave like that. Yvonne frowned and then calmly said, "Stop them."After she made her orders, dozens of security guards walked out from the corner. They were all security guards from the Xaviers of Wolsing, and each was extremely strong.They did not attack but simply blocked all the entrances. When Morganna saw that, she was instantly enraged. "What's the meaning of this? How dare you stop the path of those who come from a world of freedom? Do you know what will happen if you do this?"Harvey merely smiled and asked, "World of freedom? Why don't you tell me which world of freedom you're from?""I've already gained permanent residency in Country A, so of course I'm from Country A!" answered Morganna smugly. "Country A is the most advanced country in this world. Now that we have joined Country A, of course we're people of freedom! I'm warning you, now that we're from Country A, your law is useless against us! Now, step out of our way!"Harvey
The expression of the man and woman both darkened with Yvonne's questioning. "Who are you then? What right do you have to question us? How can you prove that this is a private hospital? How can you prove that this place is not under the jurisdiction of the Health Department? Who do you think you are? The boss of this place?"The woman cried out arrogantly. Even her arguments were full of disdain."That's right. You're not the boss of this place, so why are you interfering in our matter? Go away, or I'm going to make you pay for our destroyed drone!" The two pretended they did nothing wrong, and Yvonne's sudden appearance spoiled their plans.Harvey observed the two coldly. While they acted very roguishly, their flexibility and arrogant tone showed they were anything but ordinary.At the very least, they were very used to situations like this."I'm sorry, but I'm Saint Mary Hospital's CEO," replied Yvonne with a smile and then pointed at the man's mobile. "Delete everything you've
Harvey calmly asked, "Do we have any leads?"Jesse shook his head. "Currently? No. The one who's behind this hid their tracks too well. I've already sent my people out to investigate the source when this happened, but we didn't get any valuable leads. But at this time, finding the person behind this isn't important. The important thing right now is that we need to save the patriarch. "Otherwise, if anything happens to him, Linus will have another excuse to attack us tomorrow at the press conference."Harvey nodded, pulled out a mobile, and gave it to Jesse. Then he said, "Since I'm heavily suspected of being the person behind this ploy, I can't do anything to help him in this situation. But I believe Oskar will be able to help for my sake.""The National Doctor Senior Oskar Armstrong?" Jesse was slightly stunned when he saw the number on the screen of the phone Harvey handed to him. A moment later, he was already making a call on the other side. He wanted to contact him, but only
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne arrived at Saint Mary Hospital, a hospital the Xaviers had invested in. They immediately headed to the ICU.When the two of them walked in, Jesse, Sia, and the others from the Xaviers quickly walked over."Yvonne, Harvey." It was obvious that they were treating Harvey as one of them already.Yvonne nodded and asked, "What happened?"Jesse extended his hand and said, "You'll know when you see."Yvonne and Harvey exchanged a look and walked into the ICU together with Jesse. Then, they saw countless machines continuing to operate, surrounded by blinking lights in the innermost ward. Nashon was lying in the hospital bed with different kinds of liquid flowing into him through the tubes connected to him.As the liquid was intravenously fed into him, Nashon's life seemed to be hanging in a dangerous balance."What happened to Nashon?" Yvonne asked. She could not believe it. She just spoke with Nashon over dinner last night. Why would Nashon suddenl
Next morning.Two more days until Linus was released from prisonThis time, the Xaviers did everything they could. On the one hand, they used the media to set certain things as top searches. On the other hand, they used all the spies they had planted to find all the contracts regarding their work with the Island Nation.But as time passed, things did not progress well.At the CEO's office in Sky Corporation, Harvey had just finished reviewing some documents. Just when he was going to force himself to go through the rest, the office door opened slightly.Next, Yvonne slowly walked in with a cup of well-brewed coffee and lightly placed it on the desk. When Harvey saw her in the office, he was a bit surprised. "Why are you here? Are the problems with the Xaviers all done?"Yvonne shook her head. "Not yet, but we did everything we could. Whether we can solve it will depend on fate, I guess. But rather than staying at the residence with a frown, I rather do some work at Sky Corporatio
Janus was slightly surprised. "If we simply watch how things develop, Linus would absolutely fall. Nashon is a schemer and with Jesse's relationship with Dragon Cell and Dragon Guard… Even Yvonne isn't any ordinary woman. Not to mention that now Linus is imprisoned, everything will be over by the time he's out."Emery snapped his fingers and said, "Of course, I can't do something too obvious as an observer, but as Linus' friend, it's fine if we give him a word of advice, right? Linus is from Country A Xavier Inc., so we only need to tell him what will happen next. If he still doesn't know what to do, he deserves everything that comes for him."Janus nodded as he listened to Emery casually explain it. Since Linus started it all, he needed to end it. Everything Linus was facing right now should be solved by himself.Meanwhile, given Country A Xavier Inc.'s abilities and reach, countering the Xaviers of Wolsing should not be that hard once they knew what they wanted to do."There's an
Janus hummed under his breath for a while before saying, "Sir, aren't you overestimating Harvey too much? Think about it. He might be smart, but only a little. On Wolsing's chessboard, he's only a pawn at most. It's pure luck that he can accomplish some things and offend a few people here and there."Emery set down the teacup in his hand and sighed. "Lucky? I admit that he might be lucky, but can someone be so fortunate that he can take over both the Country H Commercial Group and Country H Martial Arts Alliance at the same time when he literally just arrived in Wolsing?"And then, it doesn't matter who goes against him, whether it's a Young Master from the top ten families or the arrogant Islanders, all of them end up badly. And then he even interfered with the top ten families and five hidden families' family matters, which meant that he was already part of the top social circle in our country and had access to our resources."But most importantly, someone like him was completely
Emery's gaze did not even shift as he calmly said, "Speak."Janus whispered, "Linus Xavier, who just came from Country A, had been sent to prison by the precinct. From the news we received from the precinct, this precinct's higher-ups have a vested interest in this, and they've even received some interference from Country A's foreign relations department."That's why the precinct will handle this as fairly as possible. According to my sources, Linus won't be convicted or deported, but he would be locked up for at least three days and three nights."Emery finished the tea from his cup and said, "Isn't he back to regain the Xaviers of Wolsing? How did he end up behind bars when he just arrived? Who did that?""Harvey," Janus did not want to mention the name, but he had to. "The man has a good relationship with Journi and impresses Princess Sienna. And according to my sources, he's also the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group and the representative of Country H's Martial Arts A
"Send out our men and use all our contacts and spies in the Island Nation. We must find all the originals and copies of the contracts we've signed with the Islanders and destroy all the evidence immediately. We must do it quickly and destroy them before Linus is released. If we can't, the problem we face will be worse than anything we can imagine," said Nashon with a stern expression.Harvey narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me help as well. Yvonne knows Sky Corporation very well. Let me know if you need Sky Corporation's ability or my help. While we seemed to face only Country A Xavier Inc., everything was too much of a coincidence."I believe this might be a continuation of what happened to the Shinto Way. The people behind all of this had to be from Country A. Not only is he aiming to throw this family into chaos, but he might also be aiming to throw the entire country into chaos. That's why we have to be quick, and we must achieve it. We must control the risk and losses to be as l
