When Gaspar heard what Madden was saying, his lips formed a faint, icy smile no one could notice. Gaspar would do everything he could to stop Harvey from gaining any recognition, especially when the tournament's main goal was to strip him of his title as representative.If Harvey was the one who saved them from this predicament, the tournament would instead become a tool to help Harvey gain recognition. After that, his status in the Alliance would become extremely firm and no one could touch him again.That was something Gaspar and the others could never accept.As someone from the training grounds, they wouldn't allow what was theirs to become someone else's instead.Not to mention, Harvey was so young. If he became the representative permanently, he would stay in that position for decades. And once all those decades had passed, would the training grounds still have a voice within the Alliance?However, just as Gaspar was about to conclude this with one last speech to reject Ha
Plates of well-made desserts were prepared on the table, their aroma sweet.Prince didn't touch them at all. Instead, he couldn't stop talking cheerfully. "Harvey… I mean, Mr. Harvey, you probably don't know that I'm having the best day of my life today. I'm almost openly humiliating all the old geezers in the Elder Group! What's the point of living until such ripe old age if all they're thinking is running away without even fighting?"How the hell did they manage to come up with such an idea? It's too bad I'm not as strong as you. If I had your power, I would have already smashed their heads on the floor!"Opposite Prince was Harvey, who was holding his fork in mid-air. He looked at how Prince's saliva sprayed onto the dessert in front of him. Speechless, he put down the fork. "In your opinion, how many of these elderly want to fight?" Harvey said. "Less than one-third," Prince said after giving it a thought. "If no one wanted to fight, they wouldn't even be bothered with the
Harvey smiled and said to Prince, "It's fine. They're not that impressive."Prince looked at Harvey's calm expression and remembered how Harvey became the leader of his own school.The previous leader of the Heaven's Gate had been completely humiliated by Harvey. No matter how strong the so-called four kings of the alliance are, they couldn't be more powerful than the previous leader of the Heaven's Gate, could they?However, Prince still retrieved the document and pushed it toward Harvey. It was better to be more careful, after all. "Prudence is the better part of valor. While the four kings aren't well-known, they are all quite capable. They have no reason to fight you in the past, but now that they can do it in a legal capacity, they will use everything they have."Especially when they can replace you by defeating you. They can lose, but you can't. Your status in the alliance will become firm after this battle between the two countries. Then, everyone would have to listen to y
"Jesse?" Harvey frowned. However, he seemed to have realized something and asked, "Where's Yvonne?""Please stop looking for her, Harvey," Jesse said, as if hesitating on how to explain it to Harvey. "She's one of our us, so she can't follow a man and keep on being his secretary. Even if she doesn't mind it, our family does. Not to mention, she already has a fiancé thanks to our family head's arrangement. She'll be marrying soon."Please don't disturb her ever again. Our family head promises that if you won't disturb Yvonne anymore, you'll be a friend of the Xaviers of Wolsing forever.""What if I'm determined to see her?" Harvey's expression darkened."Then… Please don't get upset when we treat you as an enemy," Jesse said as he raised his hand. Harvey could sense murderous intent coming from behind the doors and windows, up on the roof and trees as well as other locations, while still being physically hidden.Jesse removed his gold-framed glasses and wiped them using a handker
Islanders? Niece? Marriage?Harvey, who was looking at everything that was happening from the side, formed an outlandish conjecture. He looked at Nashon in disbelief and asked with a frown, "Mr. Nashon, I'm Harvey York. I would like to ask if your niece is…"The moment Harvey started speaking, he grabbed the attention of both Nashon and the man called Mr. Tokugawa. The instant Nashon saw Harvey, the displeasure on his expression grew apparent. He simply narrowed his eyes and gave Harvey a meaningful look without saying anything. Meanwhile, there seemed to be a vicious look in Mr. Tokugawa's eyes.Before both sides could say anything, Harvey's eyebrows furrowed. He instinctively looked behind him—the atmosphere seemed to have dropped a couple of degrees when he wasn't paying full attention just now.Suddenly, many people appeared, their faces cold and the brutality in their eyes abundantly clear. Harvey wasn't sure if they jumped at this chance, or if they were already well-prepar
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights. That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests. All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.” Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.” “Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…” “Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…” “Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…” “Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…” “...” “Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation. The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude. Lo
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu
Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi
