Yona nodded curtly as a greeting to everyone. Her indifferent gaze fell on Hailey and Anna.“Why? Did I look like an errand girl?”Her voice wasn’t too loud, but both Hailey and Anna’s bodies instantly softened in fear. They almost limp on the ground.“N-no, no, no…”“We’re the ones who run errands! Us!”Hailey replied, her expression troubled.Anna was also trembling. “Miss Lynch, it’s our fault. We offended you. Please forgive us!”Yona glanced at her faintly and ignored her. She then turned around and placed the chopsticks for Harvey. She smiled and said, “Young Master York, these Gaozu dumplings are best matched with the soy from the Southern City. I have prepared one for you.”“Try and see if it suits your taste. If it doesn’t work, we’ll change it.”After that, Yona respectfully poured Harvey a cup of soy milk.“This…”Everyone’s eyes twitched as they watched this scene unfold before them.Yona wasn’t like this in the past. However, she was serving the hillbilly with
Following Harvey’s signal, the two arrogant women quickly left.The impact Harvey gave them was unimaginable. They had to digest it before passing his words to Yvonne.Hailey decided that today’s affairs mustn’t be reported to the Smith family. Instead, she had to keep it a secret for Harvey so as to befriend him. In this way, she would have the opportunity to use Harvey to move up into higher positions in the future.Even in an instant, she had already thought of several ways for Harvey and Yvonne to meet.Yona gave a signal only after the two women had left.A group of bodyguards quickly emptied the restaurant.Someone brought a wooden box to Yona and Harvey. Inside lay a long sword.Seeing Harvey’s puzzled eyes, Yona smiled and said, “This sword is a gift to the hero. It is an ancient artifact from hundreds of years ago. It was treasured by my godfather for many years. Please accept it. Take it as a token of our appreciation.”“Alright, thank you.”Harvey instantly accepted
Something had happened to Benjamin’s wife.Yona didn’t explain much and left after apologizing to Harvey.After thinking about it, Harvey decided to follow her and take a look at the situation.After all, he had received two impressive gifts from them. That, and Benjamin’s previous situation was related to the Island Nation’s onmyoji.He suspected that it probably had something to do with Benjamin’s wife.Yona had no objection to Harvey's willingness to help. For her, Harvey was already an omnipotent person.An hour later, they arrived at a manor at the foot of Purdue Mountain.This manor was backed by mountains and the sea. Its feng shui was excellent. Just by looking at it, people would feel comfortable and refreshed.“This manor was an old prince’s courtyard. It has a history of more than a hundred years.”“Godfather and Godmother enjoy silence. They’ve been living here since they came to Mordu.”“Historically, this place used to be the Island Nation’s embassy. A lot of th
Harvey didn’t speak anymore. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the entire manor.Following Yona’s lead, Harvey and his entourage arrived at the front hall of the manor.There was a sedan H9 with a license plate of Mordu 00001 in the front hall, which was enough to explain Benjamin’s identity.Harvey had guessed for a long time, but he still lamented how small the world was after confirming Benjamin’s identity.Yona was slightly surprised to see the car. “Godfather is also back.”“He had gone to Wolsing at first, but it seemed that he came back as soon as possible after receiving the news.”Harvey nodded, saying nothing.The place was heavily guarded. There were many bodyguards with live ammunition, and a few of them were part of the King of Arms from the military.With Benjamin’s identity and special status in Mordu as well as the great Country H, it was only to be expected.“I wonder if there are people of the Dragon Guards in the dark.”Harvey murmured.There w
Benjamin smiled helplessly at Yona’s attitude. He then glanced at Timothy and said, “You too. Yona’s worried about her godmother, and just so happened to speak a little louder. Why do you have to be so stern with her?”Timothy’s eyelids twitched. He then nodded and said, “I know, Brother-in-law.”“How about I invite Yona to dinner tonight and make amends with her?”Yona refuted coldly, “No need.”“I’m having dinner with Young Master York tonight.”“Young Master York?” Timothy’s eyes fell on Harvey after Yona spoke. A strange light flashed briefly through his eyes.However, Yona was already looking at Benjamin. Before Timothy could say anything, Yona said, “Godfather, I happened to meet Young Master York today, so I brought him here to take a look at our situation.”“Didn’t Young Master York help us to solve a problem before? I think he might have a solution.”Benjamin nodded at Harvey. He stepped forward with a smile and said, “Young Master York, it’s very kind of you.”He was
“How shameless! You’re trying to get yourself killed! Do you think a hillbilly like you can lay a finger on my sister?!”Timothy burst into rage and slapped Harvey’s hand away before Harvey could inspect Lady Lynch thoroughly.Benjamin frowned. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he decided to remain silent. The priest, on the other hand, coughed lightly and said, “My friend, Lady Lynch must’ve been cursed. I just removed the evil influence within her body, but you touched her again so suddenly. I know that you have good intentions and wanted to see if she was injured, but I won’t be able to do anything if evil influence from the outside world enters her body again.”Everyone stiffened at the priest’s words. Harvey turned around and stared at the priest from Mount Longhu with narrowed eyes. He asked calmly, “You are Master Ziegler from Mount Longhu, correct?”“Are you very certain that Lady Lynch is cursed, rather than poisoned or something similar?”Master Ziegler cro
Master Ziegler pinched his fingers and counted them. After that, he let out a grave sigh.“No wonder. Master Lynch, I do not know what your manor is used for or the history behind it…”“But I feel the presence of a resentful spirit within these parts. Someone must’ve died here in vain.”“Lady Lynch is a woman. Her body is frail, and she is filled with feminine energy. She must’ve touched the host of the evil influence by accident, or got too close to it. As a result, she was cursed and became possessed. ”Master Ziegler spoke with utmost certainty, as though he was passing true and righteous judgement.“Is that so?”Benjamin was enlightened.“Then, Master Ziegler, is there any way we can get rid of this evil?”“Of course! Please hold on for a moment, Master Lynch.”Master Ziegler closed his eyes. His body began to sway slowly and he chanted some mysterious prayers. He started to flail around his peach-wood sword. After a while, he pointed it toward a secluded corner at the b
A forced surrender!Master Ziegler was obviously forcing Harvey to surrender.Though Benjamin looked up to Harvey, he was more worried about his wife than anyone else.Benjamin could only sigh at that moment.“Sir York, you can see my wife’s condition. She was indeed cursed.”“We’ll leave it to Master Ziegler. Please, show me some respect and don’t speak any more.”“Did you hear that?!” Timothy loathed Harvey. He quickly followed up on Benjamin’s words and deliberately struck a verbal blow on Harvey.“Only specialized professionals know how to deal with metaphysics and geomancy. An outsider like you should stop butting in! If you chase Master Ziegler away, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”Harvey replied calmly, “But Lady Lynch isn’t cursed at all. Her body’s under a malicious incantation.”“Her being able to sleep this soundly is not due to Master Ziegler’s efforts. Incantations are the most powerful during evenings. Whoever caused this is most likely storing pow
"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
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
