Steve Lee had been around Country H for many years. He had heard everything from the fourth master of Wolsing to Mordu’s sixth prince.Harvey York should have a prestigious title for how powerful he was, yet there was not much information about him when Steve ran a background check.And within those shadows, he saw another man.‘Tyson Woods?!‘The new upstart in the streets of South Light, Tyson Woods?!’Even though Star Chaebol did not have any interaction with South Light before, they had checked adequately for all the big characters within South Light before coming here.And of all the people that they checked, Tyson was the one that they looked up to the most.According to Star Chaebol’s plan, they must do everything in their power to get closer to Tyson no matter what.With the support from the streets of South Light, Star Chaebol could do whatever they wanted.But they did not think that the new legendary upstart of the streets, Tyson, actually brought along a thousand m
Steve Lee’s expression was horrible. He exclaimed coldly at this moment, “Harvey…“We surrender!“Please don’t kill us!”Before Steve could even send out the order, the Taekwondo blackbelts from Country J had already slammed their knees on the floor. Many of them were raising their hands above their heads, signaling that they had no malicious intentions at all.Against a thousand well-trained men, cleanly admitting defeat was the only decision. Compared to surviving, so what if they had to surrender?Harvey York tilted his head slightly.Tyson Woods then immediately came forward with a few others to tie up those so-called Taekwondo blackbelts.Only Steve and his beautiful secretaries were still standing amongst everyone from the strong and fierce Star Chaebol.“Harvey York!“You’re crossing the line!“At the end of the day, I’m still the son of Representative Lee from Star Chaebol. I’m a big character even compared to everyone in the company!“I’m not someone that you can ju
Steve Lee’s face was as swollen as a pig. He was screaming furiously while his mouth and nose were bleeding profusely.He was an extremely well-known prodigy back in Country J, adept at literature and combat prowess!He was also the last disciple of the Taekwondo master back in the day!The representative of Star Chaebol’s kid!No matter the perspective, he was still a big character with a great status.But at this moment, he was just a drowning dog in front of Harvey. He had exhausted all his strength to fight back.The most important thing was if Harvey used any legendary move against Steve, he would definitely admit defeat.But Harvey was just using the palm of his hand.‘I don’t care how fancy or terrifying Steve’s moves are.‘I’ll come at him with slaps across his face.‘The important thing is that he can’t block them even if he wanted to. Dodging them is also out of the question!’Slap!With another slap, Steve was once again sent flying.“Come, you mighty character
On the lower floor of the Gardens Residence, a pink Rolls Royce Phantom was parked on the dedicated parking space. Countless people were showing all sorts of emotions, from admiration to jealousy, when they walked by.There was a tall and slender man leaning on the side of the car. The people that passed by were all captivated by his sight.Many women were even considering him to be their Prince Charming.Soon after, an extremely enchanting woman walked out from the Gardens Residence.Mandy Zimmer’s gaze was in a bit of a trance when she saw Harvey York.‘Is he still the same live-in husband?’When Harvey saw Mandy coming, he immediately gestured to Mandy and said, “Come on in, beautiful!”Soon after both of them had gotten inside the car, it immediately automatically started itself up. The sight had shocked everyone within the vicinity.In the car, Harvey threw over some papers to Mandy and said, “All the documents are in here.”Mandy took the documents and had a quick look o
Mandy Zimmer walked up and shook the young ladies’ hands, then smiled and introduced Harvey York to everyone.“This is my husband, Harvey.“Darling, let me introduce you.“This is Stacy Leo of the Leo family from Hong Kong. Even though Miss Leo is just a collateral relative, she is quite an influential woman. She came here this time to expand the market of Buckwood…“This here is Rae Flynn from Hong Kong’s Flynn family…“This here is…”Mandy introduced each and every one of those young ladies in a single breath.Harvey realized that those ladies were all from the four top-rated families from Hong Kong. Or rather, they had quite a lot of connections with the four top-rated families.Harvey took a closer look at Stacy and confirmed that there were no plans that were laid by Quinton York. It should have been a sheer coincidence that Mandy met her somehow.Without a second thought, Harvey smiled out of respect and said, “Hello, I’m Harvey. Nice to meet you all.”Stacy sized up Ha
Harvey York did not expose Brock Park’s weak identity for Mandy Zimmer’s sake. He then politely greeted the crowd, “Nice to see you.”“You’re Mandy’s live-in husband? I heard that both of you have been married for three years, but you haven’t even slept with her!”After the small talk, Brock was sizing up Harvey with a cold gaze in his eyes.“Use my name when you get in trouble around Buckwood next time. I’ll cover for you.”‘I’ll cover for you if you get in trouble around Buckwood.’Brock Park, who came from Country J, was boasting as if this is his country. It was as if he’s in control of everything here.Stacy Leo and Rae Flynn were shyly chuckling along with the others and said, “As expected of Sir Park to be this domineering.”Harvey then replied calmly, “Thanks, but no thanks.”Harvey looked at Mandy after his speech. He felt like there was no need to waste time and do this so-called business with Brock. He would rather go for a stroll with his wife.Because no matter ho
At this moment, Brock Park shifted his gaze toward Stacy Leo.Stacy then immediately clutched Mandy Zimmer’s hand, not letting her go.“Oh, Mandy. Everyone’s just kidding around. There’s no need to be this mad! Do you want me to apologize in Sir Park’s place?”Harvey York looked at Stacy and was about to say something, but Mandy cut him off calmly before he could even speak.“No matter how bad he’s living his life, he is still the consultant for the government of Buckwood.”Everyone felt indifferent after hearing those words.The people were either from Country J or Hong Kong. They would naturally not know the authority that a consultant in Country H represented.But after seeing Mandy’s grim face, Rae Flynn then swiftly tried to mediate the situation.“Alright, alright, we’re all here to have a good time tonight. Let’s grab a nice drink for this occasion. Go, bring the Ace of Spades that I saved here!”Rae then winked at one of Brock’s followers, Curtis Park, after her speech
“Let me tell you all something. Master Steve is the son of Star Chaebol’s representative. He’s also good at literature and martial arts. He’s quite the capable man!“Now that he’s here, it shouldn’t take long before Buckwood, or maybe the entire South Light’s market, is under Star Chaebol’s control!“Regency Enterprise will surely take off if you’re willing to work with the Star Chaebol. It wouldn’t be too big of a problem to be one of the listed groups too!”Brock Park was showing a face full of pride, even more so when he talked about Steve Lee himself.According to Brock, Steve was Country J’s true pride and joy. Not a lot of people from Country H could even compare to a big character such as this.Right when Brock was talking up a storm, his follower, Curtis Park, finally brought the Ace of Spades there while showing a face that had unfinished business.Rae Flynn glared at Curtis and asked, “What’s the hold-up?! Everyone’s waiting for the drink!”Rae immediately started to d
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
