“That item is mine! I’m buying it for seven hundred and fifty million right now!”“According to the auction hall’s rules, the highest bidder always wins.”“Even if you’re confirming the bid, you need to call three times before slamming the gavel!”“But you locked in on the lower bid without giving the others any chance to bid?”“What’s the meaning of this?!”“Are you conspiring with The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to sell them something that belongs to the people of Country H?!”“You people should know what this item represents!”“This belonged to the Head Coach!”“You’re already disrespecting him enough to auction something like this…”“But now, you’re even deciding who gets to buy it?! Are you insulting the Head Coach?!”“How dare you, you brat?!” The middle-aged priestess screeched back, livid.“Do you know the consequences of smearing the Five Virtues Temple?!”Young priestesses of the Five Virtues Temple appeared from all directions, all shooting Harvey cold glar
“Of course not,” Harvey shot back icily, his face scornful.“You don’t have to participate if you’re not satisfied,” Teal replied calmly, indifferent to his rage.“If you’re here, you’ll have to abide by my rules.”“I have the final say in my territory, after all!”“Alright, that’s enough talk. Take Sir York and leave, Ms. Clarke.”“I won’t argue with you. For your family’s sake, I won’t put you two on the blacklist.”“But there will be no next time.”Teal’s words returned to its cold and distant tone…As if she was the golden rule.“This is your explanation?”“These are the Five Virtues Temple’s rules?”Harvey chuckled calmly.“How domineering! You must be really confident in yourselves!”It seemed Teal didn’t hear Harvey’s words, or perhaps she just couldn’t be bothered to answer him. Either way, there was no reply.The middle-aged priestess hissed, “Come! Send them off!”Several Five Virtues Temple disciples closed in slowly, disdain evident on their faces. “Let’s g
“This broken sword belonged to the Head Coach, and that’s all there is to it.”“It has no other meaning.”“This is just trash that the Head Coach casted aside after it was broken during the Euro-American battle.”“Who knew that someone would be this shameless to pick this up?”“You can request the Head Coach for anything you want with this garbage? What a joke.”“Can you think for a second?”“You think you can ask for anything from him with a broken sword?”“Stop dreaming!”“You can only take this sword home as a collection. After all, this is a weapon that has slain countless men.”“Judging from your skinny limbs, you shouldn’t blame the Head Coach if you croak because of the killer aura on this thing”Harvey was indifferent. He possessed many things, so why would he give a thought about a broken sword?He only wanted to prevent The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets from having such a thing by calling his bid.But since the Five Virtues Temple was biased toward them, Harve
Harvey looked at Sharon, still very much calm. With how much she praised his other identity, he almost couldn’t bear making fun of her anymore.“I don’t need any evidence,” he replied calmly.“I’m the Head Coach, after all.”“It’s not a token because I said so!”“Do you understand?”His claim stunned the crowd into utter shock.Everyone started at Harvey, full of disbelief.‘Branch Leader York and Prince York are identities of the legendary Head Coach?!’If that truly was the case, then his words were right and the broken sword did have no use at all!Even Teal, who was safe backstage, found herself shaking in bewilderment at Harvey’s claim. Even for a woman as divine as herself, she could only admire the Head Coach from afar.Yet this kept man who used women to rise to power actually claimed himself to be the Head dignified Coach!How was this possible?!A long silence passed, only broken by Murphy’s derisive scoff. “What’s this? Do you all actually believe what this
Harvey and Leslie returned to the presidential suite half an hour later.Leslie’s face was scrunched in an odd expression when she entered the room. She was hesitant to utter a single word.Toby knocked on the door before locking eyes with Harvey, wearing the same odd expression as Leslie’s. Harvey then glanced at Leslie, silent.Toby, on the other hand, burst out laughing before walking in.“Please don’t blame Leslie, Brother York. Even if she didn’t tell me, with my abilities, I’ll figure it out by tomorrow morning anyway.”“In any case, she’s not really selling you out.”Harvey chuckled.“You’re too kind. She only told you everything for my own good. I can understand that, so I won’t blame her for it either.”“That’s good.”Toby poured himself a cup of tea, and then pondered for a moment.“Brother York… Since we’re already family, let’s just be frank with each other. Are you really the legendary Head Coach?” he asked quietly.“Isn’t it fine if you tell me?”“I just nee
“Oh? Isn’t Vince with Scarlett? Why’s he aiming for Teal as well?”Harvey’s lips curled to reveal a sardonic smile.“Is the Five Virtues Temple his harem?”“Shhhh! Don’t say things like that!”Toby stood up anxiously, shocked. After making sure that nobody was listening in, he breathed out a sigh of relief.“While the Yorks of Hong Kong are the true kings of Hong Kong and Las Vegas, the Five Virtues Temple holds great influence over South Light and its surrounding areas.”“The title of sacred martial art training ground isn’t just for show, you know.”“Not only did you go against Teal, you even greatly damaged their reputation!”“These two things should be enough for them to hold a big grudge against you!”Toby frowned.“You should seclude yourself for the next few days. You shouldn’t go anywhere, in case the Five Virtues Temple finds anything they can use against you.”“Ever since Scarlett failed their mission to usurp the Hamilton family, they’ve already held a grudge agai
Leslie had a bitter look on her face.“Sir York, sometimes it’s better to back down.”“If you vent your anger right now, you’ll only hurt yourself.”“I have a suggestion. You should probably apologize to the Five Virtues Temple for what happened tonight.”“But we’ll definitely make them pay us back for what they did soon enough.”Harvey smiled without giving a reply, opting to swallow his bitter Black Tea instead.Ding!Toby’s phone vibrated right at this moment.He made a gesture of apology before picking up the call.After a while, a mystified expression showed on his face.“You’re saying the Head Coach’s broken sword that Murphy and Sharon won was robbed?”Harvey was surprised to hear that. He didn’t think that news would travel that quickly.After finishing the payment, Sharon immediately left with Murphy.Before the duo managed a single mile from the Three Seasons Hotel, several burly men in suits showed up in front of a stoplight.These men put down Sharon and Murph
Aside from Sharon and Murphy, Leslie and Edwin were at the front door as well.Had it not been for Leslie and Edwin blocking the path, these furious westerners would’ve charged right into the Clarke family’s garden villa.Despite the duo’s efforts, several of the family guards still got beaten up. Some were lying on the ground after receiving painful blows. It was a horrible sight.“What’s going on?”“Who hit the guards?” Harvey walked out, his face as calm as still water.“I did. What of it?”Murphy was dressed in western clothing. He glared at Harvey, full of rage.“You finally showed up, you despicable man!”“You didn’t win last night’s auction, so you robbed us while we’re on the way home?!”“You’re a vile man! Where’s your shame?!”“How dare you call yourself the Head Coach?!”“Screw you!”“Everytime I see people like you, my blood boils for Country H!”“I can’t believe I’m from the same country as someone like you! You’re embarrassing the entire country!”“I’d rat
"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
