“Right! It’s settled!”“I hope you don’t go back on your word.”Harvey calmly took out his phone before dialing a number.“He’s still trying to pretend? We’ll see how long he can keep this act up!”“He thinks he can deal with the problem with just a single call? Who does he think he is? The prince of the royal family, or the young master of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance?”“Country H has been extremely powerful recently, but he’s still just an outsider! How dare he try to show off in our own country?”“If he can actually solve our crisis with a single phone call, I’ll kneel right in front of him!”Everyone scoffed when they saw Harvey calmly dialing his phone.Nobody expected Harvey to actually do anything.Harvey made the call soon after.Beep, beep, beep!“Who’s this?”A young person’s voice could be heard on the other side of the phone; it was Trey.“It’s me, Harvey,” Harvey replied calmly.The top talent instantly shivered.He was still being very respectfu
An elder desperately tried to control his emotions after making a phone call.“Grandma Cobb, the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance made sure of it. We still have the supply rights, and they’ll come to inspect the goods this afternoon.”The Cobb family trembled in excitement after hearing those words.Not only would their trade be successful, they’d also be able to earn heaps of money; the entire family would be able to continue enjoying their glory and riches.“How did he do that in an instant?!”“We only used half of the cost to get the supplies! We’ll be rich if they actually buy them from us!”“The dividends alone could last us six whole months to spend on whatever we want!”The entire family had odd expressions when they looked at Harvey.The disdain in their eyes was completely replaced by shock and disbelief, followed by the excitement of them getting filthy rich.Grandma Cobb resentfully dialed a number.After a moment, she immediately dropped her phone to the groun
“How about this? Since the problem got solved after you pretended to make a phone call…”“I’ll let you and Katy off the hook since you’re so fortunate!”“Katy can continue being the head of the head house.”“Nobody is allowed to speak about this anywhere else!”“If not, I’ll call the cops on whoever that does!”Grandma Cobb was a little shocked before, but she immediately remembered…Eden had already made a few phone calls to beg people to help in the situation.The people on the other side of the phone kept skimping over the subject, but Grandma Cobb was still hopeful.Naturally, she would think that Eden was the one who dealt with the situation.Katy’s expression changed; she didn’t think Grandma Cobb would go back on her word.Without giving Harvey a chance to speak, Grandma Cobb glanced at Eden with a smile on her face.“My dear boy! Why didn’t you tell me you’ve already dealt with the situation in the first place? You made me worried sick here!”Eden froze for a moment
To flaunt his authority and relationship with Gael, Eden turned on the speakers before dialing the number.A cold and gloomy voice could be heard on the other side soon after.“What now?!”Gael was infuriated; he just got word that Trey managed to give the Cobb family their supply rights back.His father was the vice leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, but the top talent told him something that forced his father to give the supply rights back.After getting Eden’s call, Gael was boiling with anger.That said, he didn’t know what kind of connections the Cobb family had, so he didn’t dare lash out fully.Eden put on a warm smile despite hearing Gael’s not-so friendly tone.“Young Master Padlow! I already know about the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance giving us our supply rights back.”“I know you did your best to help us out to convince Senior Padlow.”“On behalf of Grandma Cobb and the family, we thank you!”Gael froze; he didn’t know what happened exactl
“I know you’ve been looking for your one true love, Katy.”“But as the heiress of the family, you enjoy all the glory and riches that come with it as well as the responsibility of the family’s fate!”“I won’t blame you for the things you did in the past anymore…”“Even after you’re married, I can still guarantee your spot as the head of the head house !”Grandma Cobb showed a prideful look on her face, as if she was a generous woman.“As long as you marry Young Master Padlow, we’ll have a strong ally on our side!”“Do you actually think this man here truly loves you?”“He’s only clinging to you for the family’s authority and riches!”“I’ll just give this man a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for him to run back to Country H.”“We’ll settle everything just like this!”“You don’t have anything against my suggestion, do you?”Katy’s expression changed instantly.Eden chuckled coldly and took a haughty step forward.“Did you hear that, Katy?”“Grandma Cobb’s generous enou
Katy instinctively looked around her.The members of the family were laughing coldly, their faces wretched and sinister.“Enough looking already, Katy. Nobody’s going to believe that filth…” Eden said slowly.“Only someone as naive as you can believe that a useless kept man can do something like this,” Valery exclaimed arrogantly.The elder with a goatee sighed.“Wake up, Katy. That’s enough dreaming.”Katy was utterly heartbroken. She had done her very best for her family for the longest time; yet nobody was standing by her side, nor did they believe Harvey’s ability to do anything.She stumbled back, her face pale. Harvey quickly held Katy before she fell and whispered worriedly, “You okay?”“I’m fine.”Katy took a deep breath to steady herself. Then, she looked at Grandma Cobb with a bitter expression.“Are you really not going to believe your own granddaughter, Grandma Cobb?”Naturally, Katy still held hope for her family.“How do you still not understand this?!”Gra
The entire family spoke up instantly; they knew that the family would greatly benefit if Katy actually listened and married Gael.Katy’s feelings had absolutely nothing to do with them, anyway.The family believed that as long as the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance sided with them, they would be in an extremely good position.Even without maintaining their position as one of the South Sea’s great families, they’d still be able to live without worry for the next few years of their lives.At this moment, Katy’s feelings meant nothing to them.They didn’t care how she would end up, either.They were already prepared to send Katy right to Gael’s bed after thinking about the benefits that they would get.Upon feeling everyone’s hostility, Eden laughed haughtily.“The family thinks you should marry Young Master Padlow. What else can you say in front of the family who raised you?”After seeing the family’s wretched expressions, Katy was reminded of the time when she was forced i
‘We’re not worthy?!’The crowd froze; a split second later, they burst out laughing.They glared disdainfully at Harvey, thinking he was just an idiot for saying something like that.Hundreds of people stood with the Cobb family, while Katy was all alone.‘He dares to call us unworthy when he’s all alone?’‘Is he actually insane?’Everyone looked at Harvey as if they were looking at an idiot; a sane person wouldn’t say something like that, after all.The ladies of the Cobb family narrowed their eyes as they glared at Harvey. Right after that, they burst out laughing while shaking their heads.It was the first time in their lives seeing someone this ignorant.In the family’s eyes, Harvey was nothing more than a clown.Katy froze and she looked at Harvey with a shocked expression; she didn’t know what he meant at all.Harvey only kept on smiling.“Katy, a family’s existence doesn’t rely on numbers. It depends on how strong an individual is.”“Since nobody here has the right
"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
