Karl subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but it was impossible for him to be faster than Harvey.Before he could react, Harvey was already in front of him.He blurted out in panic, “Harvey, we’re all civilized people here. You…!”Crack!Harvey’s left hand held Karl’s neck the moment Karl spoke. Immediately, Karl could smell death then and there.Karl knew full well that if Harvey did so much as squeeze his hand even slightly, Karl would be dead.Karl was unwilling to be felled by a man who was so close to getting destroyed.His eyes twitched, but he still forced out a smile and said, “What? Are you going to kill me, Prince York?”Karl chuckled coldly.“Do it, then! I’m sure you’ll be able to kill me with just a squeeze of your hand.”“But when I die, the Quinlan family from Georgia will never let you off the hook!”“If you don’t end my life right now, I’ll take advantage of the people around you sooner or later!”“I heard that both your wife and your sister-in-law ar
Almost at the same time, a pink Rolls Royce Phantom appeared.Its appearance attracted every single person in sight.The car was parked at the entrance of Sky Corporation. When the doors opened, two people walked out.Both were clad in red. One looked gentle and graceful, the other was youthful and enchanting. But no matter how people saw them, they were both goddesses.They were none other than Mandy and Xynthia.“Who are these pretty ladies?”“How dare they come and support Sky Corporation like this?”“Are they mad, or do they have powerful backgrounds?”“That one’s Mandy Zimmer, the daughter of the Zimmer family of South Light. Harvey’s her live-in husband!”“The other one must be his sister-in-law!”“They look so beautiful, it’s a shame that they’re brain-dead. Haven’t they heard of the saying?”“Husband and wife are like birds, they’ll fly their separate ways when big trouble comes.”“The Zimmer family from South Light recently established a family again, I heard that
At the hall of Sky Corporation… Harvey looked calmly at the stocks that were turning red on the display.“Brother-In-Law, aren’t you moved?”Xynthia held Mandy’s hand while setting an exquisite flower basket on the side of the entrance, smiling warmly at him.“Sister and I had prepared for three whole days in secret to support you today!”“Sister was dealing with the Zimmer family, acting as if she wanted to break all ties with you once and for all. But in reality, she was figuring out ways to transfer all of Regency Enterprise’s assets to you!”“We did everything just to stand up for you today!”“If Regency Enterprise were to go bankrupt suddenly, then you’re responsible for taking care of us, Brother-In-Law!”Xynthia’s smile widened.“Don’t you worry, I’ll make sure to take care of you two.”Harvey returned the smile. His gaze then shifted towards Mandy.“This isn’t that that big of a deal, you didn’t have to come.”“The moment you knew your husband’s identity, you shoul
As the display showed the downpour of the market value...Sounds of another car’s roar echoed from the street once more.A very old car was seen slowly moving toward Sky Corporation before parking at the entrance.The car looked like it was about to fall apart any minute. Faye and her people looked at it with disdain. Harvey was actually desperate! His wife and sister-in-law aside, he must’ve found no one else to stand up for him.He let someone that drove a car like that to support him?What was this?Was this a joke?Disdain painted Karl and Peter’s faces. The next moment, an old man in a suit walked out of the car. A handsome man and an enchanting lady stood at both his sides: Avel and Rosalie Naiswell.Shane Naiswell held his hands together and said, “On such a big day, the Naiswell family would like to thank Sky Corporation for their recent support. This isn’t enough to repay your kindness, but here are three hundred million dollars as a small gift to congratulate Prin
Faye’s expression morphed into something horrible at Avel’s declaration. She remembered what had happened at Flynn’s Antiques before. She wanted to tear off Avel’s mouth so badly!Faye picked up her phone, her face icy.“The Naiswell family’s Antique Cities are suspected to traffic fakes. Tell the people from the antique management system to investigate them!”“Another thing! Contact every medium to small shareholder of the Naiswell family. Tell them that we’re buying off their entire stock!”“Also, contact every single family that has connections with Star Chaebol and the top four families from Hong Kong. Tell them to blacklist the Naiswell family from now on!”“I want the Naiswell family to go bankrupt right now!”Faye was coldly issuing orders against the Naiswell family, along with everyone that stood by Sky Corporation.The entire crowd listened to it in pity.. They then turned to Shane, looking disdainful of him.The Naiswell family would be history because they stood b
The crowd immediately fell silent after hearing that name.Dead silence filled the air.A major character such as this actually came to support Harvey?Even if it were just fifteen hundred dollars, who would dare to waste his investment? Who would dare to make him lose money?They, or perhaps their family, might need his help to recover when they fall seriously ill.Oskar ignored everyone else and casually approached the journalists with a light wave.“I, Oskar Armstrong, am buying some of the Sky Corporation’s stocks. This shouldn’t count as an inside trade, right?”The journalists all looked at each other. Seconds later, the news spread like wildfire. News from the stock market had such a big impact!A large group of investors saw that Oskar Armstrong, of all people, was buying a stock from Sky Corporation. Like sharks that smelled blood in the sea, they took immediate action. The red line that was on the verge of plummeting was once again skyrocketing at an unimaginable
Buckwood was a first-rate city. Many luxurious cars and amazing number plates were around.Some of the cars had number plates that came from Hong Kong, Las Vegas, and even in inland cities.But no matter how amazing these plates were, they could not compare to the Audi A6 in front of the crowd.The number plate was labelled “Buckwood 00001”!There was only a single number plate with this label in Buckwood, no, the entirety of South Light. Only one man was allowed to have it!It was none other than the first-in-command of South Light, Sheldon Xavier himself!There were rumors that the first-in-command of South Light would be transferred away.Even so, as long as he was taking office, he would still be king.No matter how powerful a person was, they could not cross Sheldon if they wanted to make a living in South Light.It was this very reason that everyone fell silent the moment they saw the plate.The door of the car’s passenger seat opened soon after. South Light government’
Boom!Sheldon was far away, but Peter and the others could feel an unspeakable pressure heading toward their direction.This was the authority of the first-in-command of South Light, Sheldon Xavier, who had worked for the government for many years!Not to mention, he was a part of the Xavier family from Wolsing!The Xavier family was one of the top ten families in Country H.Sheldon standing here represented his entire family’s support toward Harvey.At this moment, the pressure coming from Mordu’s Jean family had suddenly dissipated.Everyone present hung their heads low, lacking the courage to look into Sheldon’s eyes.Peter, Karl, and Faye especially looked woebegone. They had to avoid Sheldon’s scornful gaze no matter what.“Hmph!”Along with Sheldon’s gaze, Yoel and the rest of the government officials gave off a cold snort as they scanned their surroundings.They represented the government of Buckwood and South Light. Sheldon and Yoel were especially powerful.With th
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
