The moment Leon Silva kneeled, the Silvas’ strongest pillar of support crumbled.The Silvas’ pride, dignity, and sense of responsibility vanished in an instant.Slam!Slam!Slam!Brent Silva and the others followed suit, kneeling one by one.From the beginning, they never had the ability to resist. Cold sweat drenched their whole bodies, as though they came across a chilly night.In front of this man, they did not even have the right to breathe.Harvey York looked at the sight with absolute indifference.The sight of the Silvas kneeling in front of him seemed like it did not affect him at all.His cold gaze then shifted toward Margie Cloude.“It’s funny how my brother always thought of you as his beloved. He thought that you were his everything!”“It’s funny how you betrayed him and sided with the Silvas for fame and glory. You even went as far as to turn yourself into the Silvas’ plaything!”“While you’re enjoying all of that, have you ever thought about how my brother
Harvey York looked at Leon Silva’s struggling for a moment, and then his eyes shifted toward the Silvas. The expressions on their faces were nothing short of hideous.Harvey could not hold in his laughter.“Interesting. No matter if you admit defeat, or if you plead this much…”“You only did because I told you of my identity.”“If it weren’t for that, would you beg for mercy here? Would you admit defeat?”“No!”Harvey York stepped forward and kicked Leon Silva.A hard slam, and the Silvas’ last line of dignity, Leon Silva’s knees were shattered.No matter how unwilling Leon felt, he could only stay kneeling on the ground in repentance.After Harvey kicked Leon, he coldly said, “Leon Silva. Brent Silva. Margie Cloude. Jonathan Maxwell. Ted Dunn…”“Raise your heads.”Those whose names were uttered, even the prideful Leon Silva, subconsciously raised their heads.They felt as though their hearts were about to fly out of their throats, they were all extremely anxious.They all
Now, Harvey York’s cold eyes rested on Chopper Lyon and his gangster subordinates.Gang bosses like Chopper Lyon often acted high and mighty, as if they lived high above in the clouds, looking down at peasants and despising the common folk.However, their pride and arrogance were useless here.When they felt Harvey York’s cold gaze, they all crawled onto the ground. Their bodies shook, and cold sweat ran down their faces. They knew all too well that their families’ life and death would be decided by Harvey York.As his cold eyes bore into the gangsters, Harvey spat venomously, “I won’t kill you, but you still need to be punished!”“Even if my brother’s death does not concern you…”“But the truth remains. You terrorized him! Every single one of you must kneel in front of his grave for three whole days!”“Yes, yes, yes!”Chopper Lyon was the first one to speak, trembling in his boots.“Yes, we understand!”“Crawl here right now! Nobody gets up!”At Chopper Lyon’s order, all
“But Quinton York was furious! He came to me on his own accord. His goal was simple, and that was to never allow you the chance to return to Buckwood!”Now, Harvey York finally understood why the Silvas had dealt with William Bell.Originally, having William Bell alive in Buckwood was beneficial for the Yorks. At least, they could observe Harvey York’s plans through William.Yet the Silvas suddenly plotted against William and used foul schemes to achieve their goal.‘It was Quinton York after all.’‘That meant the man from the footage was Quinton York. Then, the other blurry silhouettes…’‘Are Queenie York and the twins involved too?’Leon Silva studies Harvey’s face. He sighed and said: “If us Silvas weren’t so ambitious, Quinton York wouldn’t have the chance to control us…”“A shame I was blinded by my obsessions. I did not gauge the Silvas’ power properly.”“It wasn’t wrong of me to make my move, but I failed to accurately judge my limits.”Leon Silva continued to speak.
Even as night arrived, Harvey York did not return.The news made Mandy Zimmer faint once more. She still could not accept the fact that her husband was already dead.Senior Zimmer organized a huge evening banquet, saying it was to mourn for Harvey York’s death. In truth, it was a celebration.The Zimmers had finally gotten rid of the live-in son-in-law!In her confusion, Mandy Zimmer was taken to the banquet by Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates.Xynthia Zimmer, on the other hand, had locked herself in her room with no intention of coming out. Hidden inside with no one to see, her tears kept flowing out to the point she was almost blinded by them.At the Zimmer Villa… Senior Zimmer stood up, trembling, as he held a cup full of wine.“Tonight’s goal of the banquet is simple!”“Number one: to restore Mandy Zimmer’s identity as a Zimmer!”“Number two: to celebrate Mandy Zimmer in finally regaining her freedom, completely free from her shackles!”“Number three: to preach our continu
“Do I look like a ghost to you?”Harvey York strode into the hall full of terrified people staring at him, and stopped right in front of Zack Zimmer.Zack Zimmer trembled and reached out to touch Harvey’s hand. Perplexed, he stammered, “It’s warm? You’re still alive? How could this be?”Harvey York replied coolly, “Seems like you really want me dead.”“Huh? Oh, no!” Zack Zimmer subconsciously denied the claim. He was not sure why he was so scared of Harvey York’s aura.“Harvey!”Mandy Zimmer had returned to her senses the moment Harvey appeared. She rushed toward him and hugged him tightly.Harvey York returned the hug and patted her on the head.“I’ve made you worry, I should’ve come back sooner…”“No, I’m glad you were able to come home…”The watching spectators grew disgusted by the heartwarming scene played by the two.Senior Zimmer barely stopped himself from trembling. He looked at Harvey York with a bewildered stare.“Impossible! The Silvas and Chopper Lyon wouldn’t
The next day, early morning.The Zimmer family had eagerly followed Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer to the Silva Corporation. Even the unstable Senior Zimmer had come along with them.How glorious this must be! There was no way he would allow himself to miss it!The Zimmers became exhilarated when they saw the Silva Corporation’s hundred-storey office building.Even though the Silva Corporation could not compare to the Sky Corporation, it was already quite an impressive company.Since Sky Corporation was directly under Prince York’s command, not just any ordinary company could compare itself to Sky Corporation.Even among the first-rated families in all of Buckwood, a business like Silva Corporation was scarce.Right now, the Zimmers were filled with excitement.Mandy Zimmer was no different.After finding the reception desk in the hall, Harvey York immediately expressed his intentions.“I’m Harvey York, I’m here to take over the Silva Corporation!”The receptionist looked at
The previous CEO of Silva Corporation was Leon Silva.But he had already resigned the day before, and had returned all of the Silvas’ shares.Quinton York’s most trusted subordinate, Joel Flynn, was temporarily appointed as Silva Corporation’s new CEO.He was a returned college student, trained by Quinton York during the last two years.When he unexpectedly received the news that he’d be appointed as the CEO of Silva Corporation the day before, Joel Flynn became excited to the point he could not sleep.To be the CEO of a million dollar corporation was truly the peak of life!As for why the Silvas had forfeited all of their shares and why Leon Silva would willingly give up his position of CEO, he did not know. He did not want to know, either.He only knew that he had successfully risen up the ranks.Quinton York only had one request for Joel Flynn: properly manage Silva Corporation. If anyone dared to take the Silva Corporation, he was asked to end their lives.Joel Flynn has t
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
