June Lee squinted while pointing at Harvey York with her nose.“You’re not going to say that you’re the branch leader himself, are you? Do you think you could send us those invitations? Are you even worthy?“And you claim that you’re Mr. Tycoon himself? Do you know how much money Young Master Walker donated to Hazel Malone?“Three million dollars!“You can’t even make this much money your entire life! How dare you call yourself Mr. Tycoon?!“What are you even thinking?!“Let me tell you. Don’t try to act smart in the future, and stop showing off about things you didn’t do!“Even though we’re family friends, you already completely tarnished the relationship!“Don’t you dare say that you have relations with my family ever again! You’re simply unworthy!”Kelly Malone wanted to say something, but he stopped himself in the end.June was right. People like Harvey liked to stand out from the crowd, and he was the kind of person that would take credit for someone else’s achievements.
Naturally, June Lee still thought Harvey York was showing off, yet pretending to be someone he wasn’t.Harvey sighed. He decided to give Hazel Malone one last chance.“Hazel, even though we have gone through a lot of unpleasant memories together, we can at least stay as friends, right?“Are you sure you want to break all ties between us?”“We’re both cut from a different cloth anyway! My father was the one forcing me to get along with you in the first place…“We should just let bygones be bygones!”“Fine. Since the entire family wants this, I’ll forget about this so-called marriage proposal,” replied Harvey calmly.“Good. At least you’re still quite sensible…” responded June without a hint of remorse.“Third, from today onward, you’re fired from the Kaizen Group! Young Master Walker doesn’t want you working there anymore!“If you really want to stay in Mordu and flourish, you must rely on your own strength!“Hazel and I won’t be helping you anymore!“I hope that you won’t co
“Do you think the family wants anything to do with you?”June Lee seemed rather impatient.“I already told you. Just sign the letter, and we’ll have nothing to do with each other!“Just treat the money as your mental anguish fee!“You have no idea, do you? Ever since your mother-in-law texted in the villa owner’s group, I was terrified that you’d keep nagging my family even when I’m sleeping!“You even had to ask the waiter to come to a small place like this! You couldn’t even get in on your own!“Our family’s going to Mordu’s classiest banquet today…“There’s such a huge gap between us, and yet you dare say that we want something to do with you? Are you shameless?“You talk like you’re actually rich and influential, as if you can help my family!“Are you even worthy of having relations with us?“If you didn’t fool the old man to bring over some filth like you here, do you think we even want anything to do with you?!”Naturally, all those words came from June’s heart. If it
All the big characters were yet to arrive since it wasn’t time for the banquet.On the other hand, ordinary guests were all located outside, socializing while waiting for the banquet to start.Since Harvey York came early, he couldn’t find anyone he knew just yet. While he was walking around, Kelly Malone’s family and Steven Walker noticed him.“Bastard!”“This bastard!”“Why is he here?”June Lee’s expression turned horrible in an instant.“How can he be this shameless?!“Is he trying to get inside with the family’s name?!”Kelly still felt a little guilty earlier, but rage had completely replaced that feeling then.“What a disappointment!” Kelly exclaimed coldly.Naturally, Kelly and the others thought that Harvey only knew about the appreciation banquet because of their afternoon talk.That was why Harvey was trying to take advantage of the situation!Hazel Malone frowned. The guilt in her heart had completely disappeared then.When Harvey ignored the family about to h
June Lee’s expression was filled with utter disdain while she sized up Harvey York.“Oh my! Our dear Sir York is also here to attend the appreciation banquet of Mordu’s Longmen branch?“You’re just a jobless kept in live-in son-in-law! How can you even be here in the first place? What right do you have even to attend?“Do you really think that we don’t know what you’re capable of?“Is there even a need for roleplaying here?“If you aren’t standing with us right now like actual guests, you would’ve been thrown out of the place by now!“Do you believe that we can get you kicked out with just a single word?!”Naturally, June was already quite disgusted by Harvey’s honest look on his face. He was a kept man with no talent whatsoever, but he acted as though he was the king of the world!Was he even worthy?!Kelly Malone could not even bother interacting with Harvey any longer. He wanted this ignorant man to experience the harsh reality of society on his own.In Kelly’s eyes, there
Not too far away, Kelly Malone did not have the heart to watch the sight, so he swiftly looked away.On the other hand, June Lee was showing a playful expression on her face, looking intently with a faint smile on her face.Since Steven Walker decided to trample on Harvey York, nobody would stop him.In Kelly and June’s eyes, Steven might just become their dear son-in-law.Since that was the case, it was clear as day whose side they were on.Even though Steven wasn’t the one taking action, Max Truscott was only second to Aiden Bauer within Mordu’s Longmen branch. It would be a piece of cake for Harvey to end up dead!Hazel Malone let out a huge sigh. She was utterly disappointed with Harvey’s actions.‘Oh, Harvey. You’re just an insignificant character. If you keep forcing yourself into this world that you don’t belong in…‘You of all people should know the consequences.‘Don’t you realize your limits? Why are you still pretending like you’re attending the banquet?’“Step asi
Harvey York was indifferent, facing Max Truscott and Steven Walker’s arrogance and menace.“If you don’t step away now, you might not get another chance later.”The entire crowd trembled after hearing those words.Even Hazel Malone and the others gasped in shock while looking at Harvey.That was Max Truscott himself!The legendary Brother Max!His status within Mordu’s Longmen branch was extremely high! If he wanted to trample on someone, it would be no different than kicking a dead dog!People like him were true rich playboys!Max was well-known because he would dare to mess with people from the upper social circle!Because of his extraordinary fighting skills, even Justin Walker would stand up for him quite often.Max had no other weakness other than being a little too rash, making him unsuitable for big events.In cases where he was enraged, he would take it upon himself to deal with the person who angered him.“I might not get another chance, you say?”As expected, Max
“You…”Max Truscott covered his face as he showed a wretched expression.Justin Walker was indeed quite fond of him, but he could not even compare to Eugene Bowie.He never thought that Eugene, who usually didn’t meddle with other people’s affairs, would be this ruthless at this moment.Steven Walker’s menacing look on his face had immediately lost all color.His jaw completely dropped while seeing such a sight. He didn’t expect that Justin’s two Great Generals would have a huge fight because of Harvey York.And besides, Eugene even addressed Harvey as “Sir York”!Was he even worthy?Steven was gritting his teeth full of rage at that moment.He didn’t understand why it was that difficult to deal with Harvey, but he wouldn’t dare mention it to anyone.He knew that if he said anything wrong, his face would be the one to get slapped to the ground.Max’s face had completely darkened.“You’ve crossed the line, Eugene!” bellowed Max furiously.“Do you think I’m scared of you?!”
"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
