Chapter 240

Penulis: A Potato-Loving Wolf
“It’s a gift from your cousin.” Harvey said casually.

“Kevin? How is that possible? This car costs at least more than three hundred thousand dollars. Why would he give this to you?” Angel was filled with disdain. ‘Harvey likes to act arrogant and put up a show. I don’t know where he rented this car. How can he be so shameless and say that it’s a gift from someone else?’

‘It’s normal to rent a luxury car to show off for gatherings. But he’s not even aware that he needs to put up a better act if he really does want to show off. How could he wear such shabby clothes? If he tells people this car is his, no one will believe him.’

Harvey didn’t want to explain himself and simply drove. He was only telling the truth, but no one believed his words.

The Porsche drove swiftly toward Hot Spring Villa in the suburbs.

Hot Spring Villa was famous in Niumhi. The springs there were renowned for their ability in lessening fatigue and improving the appearance. The number of people who booked

  • Harvey York's Rise to Power   Chapter 241

    “Wow! A Porsche!”One of the classmates exclaimed in astonishment. A Porsche was not as high-end as a Ferrari, but it enjoyed immense popularity among the masses. To the rest, both the Porsche and the Ferrari stood on the same level. Nia felt a twinge of annoyance. She said, “It’s just a pathetic second hand car. At most, it’s just one hundred fifty thousand dollars. Compared to my Ferrari, it’s not much. A Ferrari costs around eight hundred thousand dollars!” “What? How could there be such a vast difference in price?” “Nia, it turns out that your husband is very rich!” Her classmates’ jealousy towards Nia swelled further. There was indeed an incredible difference between the two cars. While a Porsche could be considered a nice car, it was nothing compared to a Ferrari. Now that everyone’s attention was back on her once more, Nia deliberately put on a disdainful air. “Honestly, my husband isn’t as great and exceptional as you think. Back when he tried to gain my affection,

    “Sweetheart, they’re your classmates. Really, you’re all like a family. Why should you argue so much with them? You’ll look stingy.” Jamie, who was standing quietly at the back, stepped forward to hug Nia. At the same time, he sized Mandy up and was filled with astonishment. Nia was not less than Mandy in terms of beauty and figure. The most important thing was that Nia was very promiscuous, but her temperament wasn’t very good. Mandy was exceptional in terms of beauty and disposition. Unfortunately, she was married to a worthless piece of trash and got herself a live-in husband. For an outstanding woman like her, it was such a waste!Harvey parked the car nicely and then walked towards them. Mandy smiled and held his hand, and introduced him to the rest. “This is my husband. I’m sure everyone knows his name, so I won’t dwell on that.”The marriage between Harvey and Mandy was a well known fact for everybody in Niumhi. Mandy’s classmates knew he was the legendary live-in son-

    Mandy was stunned. Previously, she didn’t even have the intention to look at Jamie. Now, she couldn’t help sneak a few glances at him.For her, she had always wished her future husband would be exceptional in terms of appearance and abilities. Cecilia shot a glimpse at Harvey, and sighed.Before, I told Mandy not to bring Harvey along. Now, how wonderful is this? She’s humiliated.’ Nia smiled and stood up. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry. My husband has learned how to play piano since young. His skills are pretty good, too. After he saw the piano, he couldn’t help but want to play it. He didn’t have any intentions to show off. I hope none of you pay any mind.” Nia said that they had no intention to show off, and she even asked the others not to mind it. Yet all that was exactly what she was doing right now, showing off. She was obviously enjoying the envy and admiration of her classmates.“Nia, you’re so lucky! You have such a great husband! It’s like he’s from heaven!” “T

    “Nia, you’re shameless! If you want to put up a show, go ahead. No one will stop you. But why did you have to talk about Mandy? Is it amusing for you?” Angel was furious. “This is a gathering, not a place for you to show off your acting skills!” “Hey! Why are you so angry? Could it be that you’re charmed by my Jamie? You can’t accept that I have such an excellent husband, so you’re jealous of me, aren’t you? Is that why you couldn’t hold yourself back and tried to find fault with me?” Nia said, grinning. She even leaned on Jamie on purpose. “You…” Angel was so angry that she trembled. She couldn’t even breathe properly.Seeing that her best friend was being bullied, Mandy couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She strode forward and said slowly, “Nia, we’re classmates. Besides, today is a gathering. Why do you have to say such things?” Nia turned to Mandy with a faint smile “Mandy, are you upset with me? Is that why you asked your dog to come and bite me? If that’s the case, why do

    Seeing that the classmates were speaking up for her, Nia became relieved. If her lie was exposed, she would be humiliated. Luckily, no one was willing to believe that live-in son-in-law, Harvey. “Worthless trash, why do you have to act like this? If you want to stand up for your wife, you need to have a little bit of self-awareness. You’re just a live-in son-in-law. Who would ever believe in your nonsense?” Nia spat, full of contempt. “I heard that you’ve been a live-in son-in-law for three years now. You always prepare the water for your mother-in-law to wash her feet. You even had to clean the bathroom. You don’t even get the chance to hold your wife’s hand. Why do you have to be like that? You’re a man, but you’re so pathetic. You’re an embarrassment to your own kind!” “Nia, you need to apologize to my wife and her best friend. We can just let it go just like that. How about that?” Harvey said calmly, not at all disturbed by Nia’s insults.“Mandy, is your husband out of his mi

    Harvey touched the piano with his hands. He opened the lid of the piano with a soft bang. After that, he stretched his hands out to press on the keys softly.He was only standing there casually, playing the piano with one hand, but the graceful melody started to echo around the large hall. With every movement of his fingers, the melody fluctuated between tones of excitement, melancholy, and deep sounds...The smooth music was coupled with a perfect rhythm and the casual way it was played. While many of the people present knew little about music, they could faintly sense the way Harvey played the piano was so much better than Jamie’s. Nia’s facial expression grew incredibly hideous. She felt like she was deeply humiliated. At first, she wanted to make use of her plot to show off how exceptional Jamie was. It never occurred to her that Mandy’s live-in husband knew how to play the piano too. He even exposed Jamie’s fake act of playing the piano just now. Suddenly, shame and embarrass

    Jamie smiled and left the hall. Soon, he reached Kane’s office. Kane was the heir of the Brookes in Niumhi, and he was also the biological son of the master of the Brookes. He was a young man in his thirties. He was rather handsome, but he looked slightly pale and sickly. The Brookes had influence in both evil and righteous sides. Although they didn’t have much influence among the gangsters, nobody dared to offend them because of Liam. However, they were not very well informed. During the past few days, Liam had become Tyson’s subordinate. The Brookes knew nothing of that. “Uncle.” Jamie entered the office and said respectfully. “Here you are.” Kane was playing with his female secretary's exquisite face at that moment. He smiled. He treated his nephew rather kindly. It was because his nephew knew how to please him. Kane valued a person like Jamie highly, since Jamie could even be quite cruel toward his own people. At that moment, he gestured to his female secretary, ask

    During the meal, Harvey gave an excuse that he wanted to go to the washroom. He then went to make a call outside. He knew a person like Nia well. She would never endure that kind of humiliation quietly. She even went to them deliberately and threatened them. Later, something might happen. Harvey was not afraid of anything. But this was not his territory. If anything happened to Mandy, he would be filled with regret. He was not familiar with the people from the Brookes, but there was someone who could suppress the Brookes well, and that was Liam. Liam was now Tyson’s subordinate. If he let Liam tackle that issue, it could be considered as a chance for him to compensate for the mistakes he had made. It was quite the coincidence. Just when Harvey left the hall to make a call, a few gangsters entered the hall, cigarettes dangling at their lips. Seeing them, Nia looked rather wicked and vicious. She said coldly to Jamie, “Although Mandy is married, that worthless piece of tra

    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
