Joseph kept his thoughts private and instead showed off his heroic and virtuous facade. Since there was no way for him to get more benefits out of the sales, he decided to sell everything out as soon as he could instead.Without hesitating, Joseph waved his hand and smiled at everyone.“Everyone! Believe me when I say that the price of the land will surely increase after ten years. It wouldn’t be possible if it was a hundred and fifty thousand dollars per ten square feet, judging from the beautiful scenery!”“It’ll be too late to buy the houses anymore when that happens!”“In the near future, this place will become the top silk-stocking district of Country H’s northwest region!”“This place is a symbol of your status and identity!”“Trust me! You will become a true elite as soon as you buy property here!”Joseph waved his hand harder; the crowd grew even more excited.“I want one!”“I want ten!”“I have money to spare, anyway!”The people in front of the crowd all belonged
Harvey smiled. He clapped his hands, and Rachel brought out an exquisite handbag.Pulled the zipper of the bag, she swung her hand and shook the bag, scattering real estate certificates all over the place.“I’m the only owner of the property of the new district’s first phase.”“I came here today to return every single one of them!”The crowd was bewildered..Each one of the real estate certificates was worth 1.5 million dollars, judging from the current market price.A hundred of them would be a hundred and fifty million dollars…The crowd couldn’t say a single word.Before, Joseph sold and gave away all the property from the first phase to young masters and princes of Wolsing.Last night, Harvey made the call to buy every single one of the properties for double the price. With Sienna’s help, the young masters and princes were quite cooperative. They finished the entire procedure in just mere minutes.Thus, every single property of the first phase fell under Harvey’s name.T
Harvey looked at Joseph with a small smile.“Since your tongue is so sharp, why don’t you tell me the reason you coerced the Indians to attack my wife?”“If you spit everything out, I’ll apologize to you right now and buy a few more houses from you.”“But if you can’t, you’re just a coward!”“Your promises of your property skyrocketing in price are just utter bullsh*t!”“If the prices can really skyrocket, I’ll definitely return the houses!”The crowd fell into an uproar after hearing Harvey’s words. Everyone could sense the conflict between the two prominent figures.The buyers’ excitement was immediately gone because of Harvey.Joseph’s expression worsened slightly.He wanted to use the buyers to deal with Harvey, but he never expected that his unspeakable acts would be revealed this way.At this point, Joseph had no other choice.“What are you talking about? I don’t understand what you mean.”“You can’t just spout nonsense and expect that to ruin the event!”“So, you’re
Joseph’s face was frosty. A hundred and fifty million was a small amount to him. It wouldn’t be hard for him to bring out that amount of money in an instant.However, he planned to sell ten thousand houses that day…Concepts like internet-famous spots and hype are simply that: concepts.If Harvey actually returned the hundred houses, the idea of this place being the top district of the southwest would dissipate in an instant.The wealthy who came here out of impulse would probably calm down and choose to wait.If that were to happen, Joseph’s plans to sell out every single property of the new district would go up in flames.It didn’t matter if he wanted his money back as soon as possible, or if he wanted to keep hyping up his properties…He couldn’t allow Harvey to return the houses, no matter what.Joseph was beginning to regret his decision.If he knew Harvey was this troublesome to deal with, he wouldn’t have coerced the Indians to go against Harvey in the first place.
After hearing Joseph’s words, the hesitant buyers instantly felt relieved.If Joseph still didn’t allow the houses to be returned, they would have doubted his words about their interests being secured.But while Joseph was arguing with Harvey, he decided to take a step back and allow the houses to be returned.He even allowed Harvey to return them without any conditions.Other than proving that Joseph was indeed wealthy and generous, it also showed that he was confident about Flutwell’s new district.Everyone’s interests were surely guaranteed!If anyone wasn’t happy with their purchases, they could always just return them!After seeing Joseph making such a comeback, Harvey couldn’t help but be impressed.As expected from the young master who rose to power in just six years.Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to imitate his schemes and decisiveness.“Since you’re talking so big…”“I don’t think I’ll go to the after-sales service.”“Why don’t you just transfer me the money for
Chapter 3425Suddenly, the loud blaring of trumpets could be heard all over the place.Thousands of people showed up on the streets soon after.They were grouped up in fours, and were carrying bright red coffins. Some were in charge of mourning, as if they were crying for their family.Aside from that, there were rows of white wreaths set outside the property of the first phase.The same people were headed in the same direction.With all these coffins wreaths and the loud trumpets…It looked to be a massive funeral!The grandiose district turned eerie and ghostly in an instant.The elderly who had brought cash were on the verge of blacking out upon the ghastly sight.Out of everything, they were most terrified of bad luck.Upon seeing so many coffins and the eerie, loud trumpets…Even if they were in a sales office…People who didn’t know would probably think of this place as a large cemetery!“I’ll turn every single one of those houses into graves!”“And because this is such a great p
In the evening, at the Bauer family’s manor.Lights shone around the side hall.Joseph comforted several important members of Flutwell’s business alliance before sending them off. Then, he approached an exquisite calligraphy hanging on the wall.A little neglect may breed great mischief!Joseph upheld this principle with great seriousness—this was the main reason he was able to rise so quickly in just a span of six years.He had been planning for Flutwell’s new district for many years; this was a very important battle for him to win, all for the sake of rising to power.Yet… Not only did Harvey make a joke out of the entire event, but he also turned Joseph into the family’s biggest joke.Most importantly, Harvey turned the entire district into the most luxurious cemetery.This meant that Flutwell’s top district had instead become the top cemetery for the wealthy.Besides a few successful trades Joseph forced, ninety-nine percent of his property remained untouched.After all,
Joseph froze. Then, a frown appeared on his face. “How did Harvey manage to get Golden Palace’s Law Enforcement to fear him?”“I usually give them quite a lot of money.”“Why are they being so hesitant now that I want someone dead?”Ruby frowned as well.“Maybe they’re scared of the person who came with Harvey that night.”“After all, that person had the Dragon Guards with her. She was in a car with a license plate from Wolsing as well. Her identity must be quite extraordinary.”“Before figuring out Harvey and the person’s identity, Golden Palace probably wouldn’t take action.”“You may be right…”Joseph let out a huge sigh.“Harvey’s quite impressive!”“He knows how to make use of someone else’s strength pretty well.”“I think I know why the houses ended up in his hands now.”“That person from Wolsing must’ve helped him.”“If not, judging from those young masters and princes, there was no way they’d finish the procedures overnight.”“That person must have a pretty high
"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
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
