Harvey ignored Ronald. Instead, he shot an indifferent look at the delicate-looking woman standing in the middle. May Lee, the representative of the Star Chaebol in the Far Eastern region.“Oh! It’s you, Representative Lee. I’m sorry for not greeting you properly!”Apparently, Justin knew May Lee. He greeted her gently with a smile on his face.The core executives of the group next to him also went forward to greet her.They all recognized May Lee.The representative of the great Country H was fired last month.The one who replaced him was May Lee, the representative of the Far East region.To put it simply, May Lee’s power within Star Chaebol was even greater than Peter Lee's.Her status was also several times higher than that of Peter Lee.Such a big shot actually appeared in a small place like Walker Corporation. Even Justin felt a little flattered.His astonishment and joy aside, he was also rather uneasy by her unexpected appearance.“That’s very kind of you, Chairman
Under the horrified gazes of Ronald and the others, Luke could be seen lying on the ground, struggling. He groveled at Kait.“CEO Walker, please forgive my ignorance!”“All of the mistakes today are my fault!”“Please let me go!”Bang, bang, bang! Luke’s forehead was bruised. His handsome face was covered in blood, but he dared not wipe it.May watched his actions, unfazed. She turned to Kait and explained, “Luke is a collateral member of the Lee family. He is also my confidant.”“That’s why I allowed him to be the representative of Mordu.”“My original intention was to let him choose a good partner and maintain the good reputation and interests of the Star Chaebol.”“I never imagined that he would actually dare to mix business with pleasure and use his power to satisfy his selfish desires.”“Not only did he verbally abuse CEO Walker this morning, but he also dared to attack CEO York!”“Such a thing is absolutely forbidden within Star Chaebol.”“This happened because I’m not
Kait ignored Justin. Instead, she subconsciously looked at Harvey.Although she didn’t know what happened, she knew very well that May bringing Justin here to apologize probably had something to do with Harvey.Thus, only Harvey could decide on this matter.“Okay, stop groveling. Will you pay if the floor is destroyed?”Only after Luke groveled a hundred times did Harvey step forward. He squatted down and looked at Luke with a smile. “Do you still remember what I said to you this morning?”“What did I say?”Luke’s eyelids twitched wildly. He hurriedly said, “Come over with the attorney contract at two o’clock in the afternoon…”“What about the contract?” Harvey smiled and said.“The contract isn’t ready yet.” Luke cried, “CEO York, I was wrong! I know my mistakes now!”“Please give me a chance!”Harvey stood up and said indifferently, “I’ll give you another chance for Miss May’s sake.”“Just break the other hand of yours yourself.”“Then get as far away from us as you can.
Before anyone even said anything, Luke had already spoken.“It’s Ronald John!”“He gave me a call this afternoon, instigating me to take advantage of CEO Walker!”“He also told me that CEO Walker wouldn’t be able to hold onto her position much longer. If she doesn’t have Star Chaebol’s power of attorney in Mordu, she’ll be kicked out of the company!”“If I use this against her, I’ll be able to do whatever I want to her!”“I’m usually not an impulsive man, but Ronald kept pushing me. He told me that CEO Walker’s still a virgin, and that it would be my blessing to have her!”“I couldn't hold myself back, that’s why…”Luke kept smashing his head on the floor as he spoke.“CEO York, CEO Walker, I am filth! I deserve what’s coming for me!”“But you can’t let go of the main culprit, either!”After hearing Luke’s words, a playful colored Harvey’s face.Kait’s expression changed as well.But before she could say anything, Justin intervened. He was frowning.“Representative Luke, y
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he studied Justin, as if this was his first time seeing Justin.Harvey didn’t even need to think to know that the one responsible for instigating the whole affair was either Justin or Angelina.Seeing Justin’s decisiveness in killing Ronald was enough to tell the truth.Still, Harvey was truly impressed by Justin’s ruthlessness and decisiveness.Truly an ambitious character!Harvey couldn’t even pinpoint a single mistake on Justin’s actions.After all, a loving father killing the culprit after learning the truth was understandable.Cold sweat dripped down Luke’s back as he witnessed the entire scene.Now, he completely understood why May said that his life belonged to Harvey.If it weren’t for Harvey’s generosity, he would’ve ended up just like Ronald.In a game between two powerful characters, people like Luke were pawns that could be discarded at any time.Clap, clap, clap!May suddenly clapped her hands, earning everyone’s attention.“As expe
“What do you mean by that?!”Justin’s face was getting darker; he had a bad feeling about the situation.Harvey calmly replied, “It seems you’ve already forgotten about our little bet since you’re so busy.”“I have reason to remind you of it.”“According to our bet, if Kait gets Star Chaebol’s power of attorney in Mordu…”“You’ll have to step down from your position.”“Speaking of which, Chairman Walker…oh, it’s not appropriate to call you that anymore.”“Right, Mr. Walker. Thank goodness I have a good memory and reminded you in the nick of time.”“If not, you might’ve lost your reputation in the business world!”“After all, you’re the man who’s vying for the position of Mordu’s Longmen branch leader.”“You can’t lose everyone’s trust for you when you’re at the crux of rising to power, right?”The people present were shocked to hear Harvey’s words.A few beautiful higher ups covered the lips, disbelief written all over their faces.Harvey was forcing Justin to resign!Eve
Before Harvey could say anything, Kait spoke up. There was hesitation in her voice.“Harvey, my father just woke up at the hospital. After he woke up, he told me to head to the Walker family’s residence tomorrow.”“He said he’ll explain everything to me in front of the entire family.”“That’s why I think…”“You shouldn’t go tomorrow.”“This is a family scandal, after all.”Kait seemed quite heartbroken.Harvey froze, then realized something.Most likely, Kait had known the truth and didn’t want Harvey to know about it.Her last bit of dignity was on the line. Judging by Kait’s personality, she wouldn’t be able to accept it if Harvey was exposed to the truth about the situation.Without a second thought, Harvey nodded.“Right, you go on your own then. I’ll let Brennan accompany you. If there’s anything wrong, contact me as soon as possible.”“Okay.”Kait nodded.“One more thing. Father had already lost all his power in Walker Corporation. He’s already had a hard enough tim
Someone walked out steadily from the shadows of the hall.He wasn’t too tall, and was only about five foot two. He was slightly bald, and his face looked like it belonged to a monkey.A long and short Island Nation sword was hanging on the sides of his waist. Every step he took emanated a terrifying aura.“An Island Nation Swordsman?!”Justin frowned.“That’s right. Kuroda Taro is an expert of the Shindan Way. His swordsmanship is almost unparalleled within Mordu.”“No matter how strong Rachel is, she probably won’t be able to block a hit from him.”“Sir Walker. With him around, why would you be scared of Rachel?” Lucas said, narrowing his eyes thoughtfully. This was one of his killer trump cards. If this couldn’t help him achieve his goals, then he wouldn’t have called Kuroda out.After all, it would be troublesome for him if outsiders found out that he was working with Island Nation citizens.After sizing up Kuroda for a long while, Justin said slowly, “Prince Jean, surely y
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
