Chapter 8

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
Harvey initially wanted to say something, but when he saw Howard’s behavior, he shook his head and did not say anything. Instead, he walked to Shirley’s side and said, “Shall we go together? I’m afraid there’ll be trouble later.”

“This…” Shirley hesitated a bit. She did have a good relationship with Harvey during college, but obviously, Howard was the main character tonight. If she left now, would she not offend Howard?

On the other hand, when Howard saw that Harvey was still there and even hooked up with the beautiful classmate—Shirley, his face darkened. He stared at him. “Harvey, it’s fine if you don’t get out. Now you still want to take our beautiful classmate with you. Who do you think you are? Are you a successful person? Don’t forget! You are a live-in son-in-law, and we feel ashamed to have a classmate like you!”

“That’s right! All our classmates are doing so well. You are a disgrace!”

“Hurry up and get out! Shirley, he’s a live-in son-in-law. You must not be fooled by him!”

Howard was the main character tonight. These classmates had been in society for a few years. They were not that capable but were all very good at flattering. At this moment, they were all insulting Harvey wantonly.

Harvey frowned. If it was not for the fear that Shirley would get into trouble later, he did not want to say anything more.

Meanwhile, Howard saw Harvey still not leaving and felt that he was losing face. He took out a bank card and threw it on the dining table. He sneered, “Waiter, bill, please. If someone does not give up, then I shall let him see that he could never afford this meal in a lifetime!”

Many people gasped after seeing Howard’s movements.

Silver card! Only people with more than one million assets could apply for it.

They never thought that Howard had such an accomplishment at a young age. Appearance could be deceptive.

On the other hand, Harvey was poor and was a loser. How could the gap between two people be so big?

Sure enough, even Wendy could not help but look at Howard several times when she saw this silver card. It seemed that this guy was quite capable.

Howard was delighted when he saw the beauty’s approving eyes. He stared at Harvey and continued. “No, I suddenly changed my mind again. Waiter, let’s go Dutch tonight. One for his share and the rest will be on me. Please help me separate the bill into two.”

The waiter nodded and went down.

Shirley felt bad for Harvey at this moment. Would it not be better if he had left just now? The meal for tonight was estimated to be tens of thousands, and the average consumption per person would be more than a thousand. Could Harvey afford the bill?

Shirley sighed when she thought about this. She quietly took out her bank card. She had to help settle the bill for Harvey so as not to embarrass him.

At this moment, the waiter who was holding the card, and a man who seemed to be the manager walked quickly into the private room.

The waiter bowed at Howard with an apologetic look and said. “Sir, I’m sorry, the balance in your card is insufficient.”

Howard was stunned for a moment. He then said furiously, “Are you joking?! I still have millions in my card, how could you tell me that the balance is insufficient?!”

“Yes, sir. I’m sorry. The meal for tonight was about 1.8 million dollars. You still have to pay 1.7 million dollars after deducting this gentleman’s share…”

“Pfft…”

Harvey almost burst out laughing when he heard the number. It seemed impolite.

This Howard was indeed a douche. Although no one knew about the two bottles of wine that the waiter had brought up, Harvey did know about it.

It was the famous Eden XIII, a French original royal wine, with a retail price of around eight hundred thousand dollars. Howard had ordered two bottles just now, and the price was already over 1.6 million dollars.

Howard was shocked. He pointed at the waiter and said, “Are you kidding me? We have less than twenty people here. How could we almost spend about two million dollars? Bring your manager here. I want to see how corrupt your hotel is!”

The waiter sighed. He had already expected that. He then stepped back and said, “This is our manager.”

“Great!” Howard shouted while staring at the neatly dressed manager in front of him. “Are you planning to quit your jobs? How could the consumption per capita be one hundred thousand dollars? Do you know who I am? My cousin is Don Xander!”

The manager was not in a hurry. He said slowly, “Sir, I am so sorry. The meal was about tens of thousands of dollars only. However, you ordered two bottles of the top French wine—Eden XIII just now. Each cost eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars. So, you’ve got to pay 1.76 million dollars. It’s approximately 1.8 million dollars after adding up the meal. But since you are Mr. Xander’s cousin, we have already rounded up the figure…”

“Believe it or not, I’ll kill you!” Howard was so angry. He grabbed the manager’s shirt. “How do you have a wine that costs over eight hundred thousand dollars? Even if you do, I did not say I wanted such an expensive wine. I’ll call the police!”

The manager calmed himself down and slowly whipped Howard’s hand away.

He had been in this position for several years. Thus, he had seen all kinds of people in Niumhi before. However, this was the first time that he had seen someone who had no money but still pretended to be rich.

He said solemnly after taking a deep breath, “Mister, let me explain a few things to you. First, we have provided you the best wine that you requested. Second, our waiter wanted to remind you about the price twice, but you didn’t care. Third, all these things are being recorded, so we have evidence. If you want to call the police, feel free to do it.”

Clap, clap…

The manager clapped his hands gently after he finished his words.

Boom! The door of the private room was kicked open. Several brawny men in undershirts rushed in. All of them were fierce and gruesome.

When the security went to report to him just now, he already felt that someone would be causing trouble, so he had brought the bodyguards with him.

Howard broke out in a cold sweat and shivered. He then gritted his teeth and said, “Where is your boss? I want to see your boss! You are running a “black shop”!”

“So, do you mean that I opened a “black shop”?”

A young man with a buzzcut was wearing a white shirt and holding two wrist balls in his hand. He walked in with a smile.

He wore a pair of gold-framed glasses, looked daunting, but also evil at the same time. His appearance made people unconsciously gasp.

The owner of Platinum Hotel—Tyson Woods was considered one of the top individuals in Niumhi. Platinum Hotel was one of his properties.

Howard originally wanted to curse, but his sweat kept on dripping at this moment. This was Tyson Woods! He was a high profile person!

He did overdo it just now, saying that Don and Tyson were buddies. He knew that Don was nothing in front of Tyson.

Howard was just a working-class lad. How dare he mess with Tyson?

The manager said coldly after seeing the boss arrive, “Mister, you have a silver card and also holding an Audi car key. I guess you are not someone who can’t afford the bill. You asked for the best wine yourself and wanted two bottles at a time. Now, you refuse to pay for it.”

“No! I don’t dare to do that!” Howard said quickly, “We’ll pay, we’ll pay the bill!”

He looked at his classmates asking for help while talking. He only had over a million dollars left on his card. This was the entire fortune that he had worked hard for over the past few years. He even bought the Audi through installment loans. How could it be possible for him to take out 2 million dollars himself?

The classmates who were flattering him just now were all looking in other directions. ‘You wanted to show off and asked for the most expensive wine just now. What do you mean? Now, you want us to help you pay? Impossible!’

Tyson immediately saw through their thoughts. He slowly walked over and patted Howard’s face twice. He then said, “Boy, if you don’t have money, don’t pretend to be rich, keep a low profile, okay?”

“Yes, yes, yes…”

“You don’t have to pay for the bill tonight,” Tyson smiled. “But with one condition…”

“Please say it! Please! I’ll do my best…” Howard said with a pleading expression.

Tyson smiled wickedly. “Let her and her accompany me.”

His gaze swept across Wendy and then fell on Shirley. These two girls, one was sexy and the other was pure.

    “Ah…” Howard was dumbfounded, this…“No?”“No…no…Brother Tyson, have fun and enjoy…” Howard did not dare to look at Wendy’s face at the moment after he finished speaking. Instead, he grabbed the key on the table and was about to run.“Howard! You b*stard!” Wendy was trembling with anger. She never thought a gentleman like him would be a coward. The other classmates were also cowering. All of them looked like they were afraid to get into trouble.Harvey was the only person present with a blank face, not because of anything else, but because he was the one who trained and groomed Tyson Woods secretly when he was in the Yorks.Tyson had been on the streets at a young age. He had no money and power. He was almost hacked to death on the streets several times. Once, Harvey met him and thought he might become a prominent figure, so he decided to train him.He was surprised that Tyson had grown so much in just a few years.However, Harvey did not intend to recognize him.

    The next morning, Harvey who was still bleary-eyed and with messy hair went to the most prosperous business district in Niumhi by his electric bike.York Enterprise was located in this prime location.Yonathan called him last night and said that he had already completed the handover procedures for York Enterprise. If he signed the papers today, the company would belong to him.Harvey was quite concerned about this matter. After all, he bought the company with ten billion dollars. That was why he had rushed here early in the morning without eating any breakfast.Harvey was speechless when he reached the company. No wonder it was the most prosperous area in Niumhi. There were luxury cars everywhere. He rode on his electric bike here. If he just parked his bike casually, it would probably be carried away later.He took a circle around the company and finally found a parking space at the gate. He suddenly heard a squeal of brakes as soon as he had parked his bike.Then there was a ba

    “Are you asking me to leave?”Harvey laughed. How could an employee ask the boss to leave?“Don’t you understand my words? I’m asking you to leave! No matter who recruited you, I don’t care whatever background you have, in short, get out right now!” Wendy gritted her teeth.She took out a stack of money from her bag after speaking and threw it on the ground. She said fiercely, “You’re not leaving, are you? Don’t you just want money? Take the money and get out!”At this moment, a deafening horn sounded, the employees quickly dispersed, because a Bentley directly stopped at the parking space of the president.Then, a lady in her early twenties, wearing a white shirt, delicate leather pants, and a ponytail, quickly walked down while holding a pouch.Her appearance was about the same level as Wendy, but her temperament was incomparable to Wendy.She did not even look at other people and quickly walked to Harvey. She bowed ninety degrees and said, “I’m so sorry, Mr. York. There was t

    Wendy was blushing as Harvey was staring straight at her. She was embarrassed. She was still very arrogant in front of Harvey last night and even despised him sitting next to her. However, she was the one standing here today, waiting for his order.Harvey stared at her for a while. Although this old classmate of his seemed a bit cold, her nature was not that bad.He said calmly as soon as he thought of this. “I will not fire you for this matter. As for your promotion, show me how capable you are, then we’ll talk about it.”He ignored her after saying this. He had just taken over the company and still had not figured out how the company operated. How could he waste time talking nonsense with Wendy?Although Wendy was beautiful, Harvey had seen more beautiful women, at least his wife—Mandy was even prettier than her.…The president of York Enterprise had changed. All current investments were terminated. However, they had added 5 billion dollars to invest in high-quality projects.

    “Huh?” Harvey was stunned for a moment and forgot to swallow the steak in his mouth. Why did he not know when this was going to happen?Xynthia was even more disgusted when she saw Harvey gobbling. She said coldly, “I’m not afraid to tell you. Brother Don has officially proposed marriage to the Zimmer family. He will send the dowries tonight. If you are smart enough, just don’t do anything. If you aren’t…”Xynthia sneered when she said this. Although the Zimmer family ran a legitimate business, they still had a few bodyguards in the family. If this loser wanted to cause trouble, they would surely knock him down.“Well, everyone, keep quiet. Senior has something to announce!”At the top position, Senior Zimmer reached out his hand and knocked on the table. He anticipated and said, “You should all have heard about the news, right? Not sure why, but the president of York Enterprise has suddenly changed. The new president has terminated all the investments that have been negotiated bef

    Everyone looked over there. They then saw Don wearing a delicate suit with his hair nicely combed to the back. He looked handsome and smart. He was holding a gift box in his hand and walked in with a smile. “Let us welcome Mr. Xander with warm applause!” A young man shouted.All kinds of cheering were heard all of a sudden.It was obvious that a young talented man like Don was more recognized and welcomed by the Zimmer family compared to Harvey.Most importantly, he could help the Zimmer family!At this moment, the entire Zimmer family was looking at Don as if he was the God of Wealth!Don smiled and waved to the people around him. He looked like a star walking on the red carpet and also looked like a high-flyer.“Senior Zimmer, I’m sorry to bother you. I come here uninvited. However, I am a straight-up guy. So, I’ll speak up if I have something to say!”Don was smiling ambitiously. He said loudly, “I fell in love with Mandy at first sight, but unfortunately, she was married t

    Mandy who initially felt strange on the inside felt the warmth in her heart at this moment. An unexplained feeling surged in her heart.She already had a feeling that the roses were sent by Don yesterday. Since Don had admitted to it now, she was indeed right about it.She never thought that Don would do what he said. He had just talked about the Prague roses yesterday morning. Then, the roses were sent to her in the afternoon and with the Heart of Prague in it some more.This thing could not be found easily. Thus, he must have planned this for her a long time ago, right?Although Mandy knew that she could not agree to this marriage because she was a married woman, she was still very moved and shy.“Hey, did you guys see it? Harvey’s expression is so funny! He’s shocked! Hahaha!”Meanwhile, Zack stood up, pointed in the direction where Harvey was, and laughed.Many people saw Harvey’s expression and heckled him after hearing Zack’s words.Indeed, Harvey’s face was very dark at

    The entire Zimmer Villa was in silence at that moment. Almost everyone turned to look at Harvey in disbelief. That live-in son-in-law said everything in certainty. Could it be that he indeed knew who the new CEO who invested in York Enterprise was? Don did not even believe him. He smiled coldly and said, “Fine! Tell us! Who’s the new CEO in my enterprise?” Harvey stretched his hand out and pointed it at himself. He then said slowly, “The new CEO of York Enterprise is me.” Everyone was so shocked that they said nothing for a moment.But the next second...“You?” Don was stunned at first. He then held his belly and broke into a burst of laughter. Finally, he stopped laughing with much difficulty. He then looked at Senior Zimmer. “Senior Zimmer, I thought that your live-in son-in-law just likes to put on a show. But it surprised me to see him acting like a fool.” The moment he said that, Zack and the others broke into laughter too. They looked at Harvey just like they were l

    Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk

    After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey

    Ghostface instantly slammed to the ground. He got on his knees and coughed out a mouthful of blood after a long time, and only then did he stand up with a dark expression."Gah!"When he stood up, blood was trickling from the edge of his lips. His chest was heaving visibly, and he was in a terrible state. He was critically wounded by one hit, and that alone could tell just how powerful Harvey was.Meanwhile, Harvey could not be bothered to waste his breath with Ghostface anymore. He instantly jumped out and slammed his fist once again.Whoosh!Suddenly, a few ninjas appeared from their surroundings. It was obvious they saw Ghostface was at a disadvantage. But they were kicked away by Harvey when they had just gotten close. The ninjas from the Island Nations meant nothing when faced with Harvey when he was being serious."Quick! Use the Martial Arts Weapons!" Ghostface's expression darkened once more when he saw Harvey was unstoppable and yelled out to his subordinates. Ghostface

    A sharp, piercing pain immediately filled Harvey's entire being as he felt a huge needle had stabbed into his left arm. While there was no actual injury, the pain was excruciating. But the pain was not physical, it was from deep within his soul.When Ghostface saw Harvey's expression, he widened his eyes as he once again spat more fresh blood from the tip of his tongue on the doll, and the doll convulsed even harder. After that, Ghostface could only let out a cold laugh as he once again picked up the needle and this time, pinned it on the doll's chest.A shapeless pain began to spread in Harvey's being, and this time, it was heading straight to his chest.Harvey's expression changed again. Just what kind of a curse was this? How could it have had such an effect? As the needle went deeper, Harvey could start to sense the pain in his chest. He suspected that when the needle completely went into the doll, his heart would burst open.At that moment, even Harvey had to sign in admiratio

    As the gigantic fireball flew straight toward Harvey, he could feel that even the humidity in the air had completely evaporated. The scent of scorching heat permeated the air. Harvey retreated again and again. With every step he took, he would kick a few pieces of rocks right at the fireball, trying to make the fireball collapse on itself.Thud! Thud! Thud!The ball of fire that was rolling toward Harvey exploded before it could get close to him in the end due to the surging of the air currents. However, all the surrounding plant life had been scorched into dust by the powerful heatwave, as if someone had detonated an explosion in the scene.Harvey's eyes narrowed when he saw what had happened. This technique had already surpassed what one would normally call martial arts. It was bordering close to fantasy. It was the first time Harvey saw a killing technique like this.And so, Harvey retreated once more and maintained a safe distance between himself and Ghostface before looking cu

    Clang!The dagger instantly shattered into pieces and shot out in all directions. Some even sliced century-old trees in half. After shattering the dagger, Harvey's fist did not stop. It continued to crash forward inevitably, surrounded with aura.Ghostface's expression immediately changed, and a ghost mask instantly appeared on his face, his aura once again strengthening.Crack!But before his aura could reach his height, a crack appeared on the ghost mask, which was cut into two. With Harvey suppressing Ghostface's aura, his ace in the hole was completely useless and meaningless."Impossible…" Ghostface muttered as he could feel the cold sweat on his skin and the hairs on his arm standing up. He continuously hurled all kinds of weapons with his hands. Daggers and darts were thrown repeatedly, and his figure kept retreating backward, wanting to stop the attack with everything at his disposal.Clang!The sounds of metal being shattered rang again. His resistance was futile. In th

    Whoosh!As one of the most outstanding elites among the Origin Ninjas, Ghostface had always been extremely decisive in his actions. Before he had even finished speaking with Harvey, a dagger had already appeared in his hand. His figure flickered, and the dagger went straight for Harvey.Harvey whipped his right hand out, as if he was already expecting Ghostface would ambush him, and a branch from a tree that he took parried Ghostface's dagger.Clang!As their weapons clashed with each other, a loud clang rang. Harvey's figure wavered a little bit while Ghostface's figure was flung into the air, and he landed where he started.Ghostface was shocked that Harvey could deflect his ambush with just a tree branch. With a cold smile on his face, the aura around him became even more intense. While Harvey was quite powerful, he himself was not that weak either. Those who had reached this stage had an indomitable fighting spirit.Harvey was also quite surprised when he saw Ghostface's batt

    This moment caused Djinn's expression to twist in shock as he instinctively took half a step backward. The dread on his face was obvious. Who could expect that the attack he put all his might… An attack that was so terrifying did nothing at all.Before Djinn could regain his footing, the Swarm Queen's figure moved again, and the blade in her hand slashed.Djinn's figure paused as his footsteps froze, and fear spread in his eyes. That was because the Swarm Queen's blue blade had already pierced into his chest.Spurt!Fresh blood spurt out from his wound. However, the blood was not scarlet red, but a brilliant blue…"You…" Djinn's expression twisted when he saw what happened. He was not suffering… He could not even feel the pain. Then, his body slowly began to sway before crumpling on the ground. His life was slowly being drained away.Djinn seemed to remember something.He blew his final breath and said, "You… You're Belladonna Cult's Guardian… The cult's most powerful ace…"-

How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you.
