It was during the critical period where the Yorks had risen once again while Harvey York was still studying in university for the past few years.It was during that period that he single-handedly built empires among other things.Despite the students not knowing what he did, they could know in an instant that the man had to be a rich heir and a wealthy person, even if Harvey were to be extremely discreet during that time.His looks weren’t that bad either, girls were flocking all around him.But Harvey was already matured mentally at that time, he would not bat an eye toward children.As time passed, he had become the legend that people admired during his time in university.But during the time that he had graduated the first year of university, the year when the Yorks regained their position as the most powerful family in all of South Light, an internal war was already happening.Under grandfather’s instruction, one the four masters of York, Harvey was forced to give up his pow
“Let’s stop talking about this.”Tara Lewis forcefully skipped over the topic and stopped everyone from ridiculing Harvey York.But she had her own thoughts as well, she did not want to expose Harvey as a wealthy man to the others.After listening to Tara, the alumni only awkwardly chuckled. Tara had a high status and identity after all, they did not want to embarrass her.Soon, most of the alumni went back to their seats but nobody wanted to sit where Harvey sat.Tara went to sit on his left on her own accord, some good friends of hers followed her and sat beside her as well.Harvey was sitting surrounded by beautiful women once again, his luck with women was truly exceptional.Not far from them, a few alumni gathered around Gary Jones.“Brother Jones, looks like Queen Lewis has the hots for Harvey! He already turned into a joke, but she still treats him this nicely. Looks like you’re not going to get the woman in your arms that easily tonight!”Gary said coldly, “Relax, you
“Gwen, you may not know about this. Colin Sanders’ father is a real big shot, who wouldn’t wait for him?!”“Who cares if the others are doing well for themselves. Their yearly income is worth thousands? They’re still babies compared to Colin anyway!”Even though the statement seemed preposterous, it was a solid fact!Not long after, a sound echoed through the hallway.Everyone stood up. Gary Jones was especially ecstatic, immediately zipping his way to the front.Colin was wearing ordinary clothes without any specific brands, but he was wearing Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Watch on his wrist. The shine on his watch bezel was truly blinding under the shine of the lights.A man like so would not need luxurious brands to serve as foil, a watch was enough to prove his identity.A lean and enchanting lady that was 5.6 feet tall had accompanied him standing by his side, it was quite obvious that she was a model.“Master Sanders, I’ve been looking forward to seeing you here.”Gary was
“Ah, this man is lucky. He actually made Master Sanders remember him!”“But Master Sanders, you guessed correctly. The shameless man actually came here!”Gary Jones immediately shifted his gaze toward Harvey York that was calm and collected at that moment and said, “You’re not even going to greet Master Sanders? Harvey, are you looking down on him right now?”Colin Sanders gave a faint smile.“No no no… I don’t deserve it!“Harvey was a legend in our university previously. Even my father remembers him, and tells me to learn from him…”“Learn how to be a live-in son-in-law, I assume?”“Hahaha…”Everyone burst out laughing after hearing that.Someone glared at Harvey furiously and said, “Harvey, why are you just standing there for? Can’t you hear that Master Sanders remembered you?”“Hurry up and shine his shoes! If so, Master Sanders might even give you something to eat!”“Yeah! Or do you really want to stay a kept man your whole life? Are you even a man?”“...”Everyone ke
The place had gotten dead silent. Everyone held in their breath, nobody dared to even let out a breath of air.Angering Colin Sanders would only lead to dire consequences after all.Everyone was afraid that the filth, Harvey York would drag them down the water with him.Harvey York’s body did even move an inch at that moment. His face was as cold as ice, ignoring Colin as if he were made of thin air.“I’ll say it one more time. Roll out of here, get out of my sight!”Colin’s face was as cold as ice, his tone was as frigid.In all honesty, not only when Harvey became someone’s live-in son-in-law, Colin could not even stand Harvey back then when he was a rich heir.In modern times, power triumphs over money!Harvey kept sipping his tea and not even batting an eye at Colin.Colin’s eyes twitched. The social media influencer girl by his side suddenly walked up and picked up the cup of tea on the table and poured it on Harvey’s body.“Did you not hear Master Sanders? Master Sander
In the next moment, Colin Sanders had swung his palm, wanting to slap Harvey York across his face.But in an instant, Harvey’s hands were as swift as lightning. He grabbed onto Colin’s wrist and twisted it with powerful force.Bang!At the same time, Harvey immediately kicked Colin down to his knees.He made a sound similar to a pig’s squeal when it gets killed, his whole body kneeled in front of Harvey.Slap!Harvey stepped up and gave a slap across Colin’s social media influencer girl and sent her tumbling to the ground.The two were acting proud like a peacock moments ago, thinking that they were kings and behaving as if they were able to control everything.But then, the two were kneeling in front of Harvey.“What are you doing, Harvey?! How dare you lay your hands on Master Sanders? Don't you want to live anymore?”“Harvey, are you actually mad?!”“Harvey, you’re harassing the man!”At that moment, Gary Jones was leading the crowd that was screaming to rush forward.H
Harvey glanced at Tara and chuckled. “Why should I run away? I’m waiting for this douchebag to apologize to me!”Tara became speechless, not knowing what to say. In her eyes, Harvey was too full of himself. In no more than ten minutes, cars rolled into the front yard of Kingdom Palace, followed by a bunch of people storming in.At the sound of rushing footsteps, Colin Sanders instantly grew excited.His father was finally here!A renowned man, with real power!Harvey, a mere live-in-son-in-law, was nothing more than a speck of dust before his father!Colin was not the only one. Gary Jones and his clique was filled with exhilaration.Normally, none of them would have a chance to meet hot shots like Colin’s dad in person. Yet, today, they would be seeing one in the flesh! A stylishly-dressed, middle-aged man led the entering crowd as they burst into the restaurant, striding in with an air of absolute dominance.This man was none other than Chester Sanders. His subordinates ta
Chester Sanders acted as if he heard nothing. He continued to look at Harvey, desperately waiting for Harvey to speak. If Harvey wasn’t planning to speak at all, Chester wouldn’t even dare breathe.“Oh, I’m fine. It’s just that my shirt got stained. I bought it from a roadside stall for two dollars, and I kind of like it.” Harvey said, unperturbed, acting as if the whole situation was something extremely trivial.Chester’s eyes instantly fell on Harvey’s shirt. He noticed the large wet stain on it, with some tea leaves stuck.Immediately, Chester fumed. He straightened up, his dominant air returning. He glared across the room and bellowed angrily, “Who did this? What kind of person would pour a drink all over someone?!”His subordinates, who knew nothing about what happened, yelled along. “Who did this?!”Subconsciously, everyone’s gazes automatically moved toward the tiny social media influencer.The influencer held her head down, her body trembling in fear.Before commoners a
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
