Harvey York forced a smile and said, “Senior Oskar Armstrong is a god among men. If he had dropped a research that he thought was not feasible, why would he give you pointers about it later?”“Are you implying that Senior Armstrong is trying to frame you behind your back?”“You…”Jenson Carlson pointed at Harvey, his face frozen over.“I’ll call Senior Armstrong right now to prove that you’re just spouting blasphemy!”“What? Call Senior Armstrong?”“Director Carlson has Senior Armstrong’s phone number?”“I’ve heard that nobody could ever contact Senior Armstrong in this country. How could Director Carlson even have a way to do so?”Even Gregory Clarke was shocked, he did not think that his student would have connections with Senior Armstrong.And the research project was actually Senior Armstrong’s idea!Thank the gods!Truly a blessing to have a student like so!Without a second thought, Gregory coughed and said, “Jensen, are you going to spout nonsense with an outsider li
Everyone was visibly confused when they saw the name on Harvey York’s phone.The name was shown as “old but dishonest” on Harvey’s phone screen.Jensen Carlson laughed after seeing the name.“You think calling a random number can prove that you’re actually calling Senior Oskar Armstrong?”“Of course not.”“Then why are you still showing off?!”Harvey smiled.“I’m not like you, dialing up a random number and saying that it’s Senior Armstrong. The number I dialed is the right one.”In the middle of Harvey’s speech, his phone had been tooting at him for some time. Clearly, the person on the other side of the phone had hung up on him.Harvey was speechless.‘What the heck? He hung up on me?’Jensen froze after seeing this and then laughed when he came back to his senses.“Didn’t you say that your number was correct? Why did you get hung up on then? Don’t tell me that Senior Armstrong on the other side is in a bad mood and hung up because of that!”“Take a look at the time we’r
The screen had shown the name “old but dishonest” once again, it was the name that Harvey York had dialed up.Harvey casually accepted the call, the video call successfully connected soon after. An old man appeared on the other side of the screen. He looked quite lean, but carrying a sage-like aura with him and having an extensive amount of knowledge.He must have just woken up from his sleep, he was still wearing his pajamas. Even so, he gave the impression that he was full of energy.God!This is…The grandmaster of Country H!The god of the medical field!Oskar Armstrong!Senior Oskar Armstrong!Everyone had audibly gasped for air after looking at Harvey’s phone screen, all of them perplexed.“This… Really is Senior Oskar Armstrong. I do remember him having a mole on his forehead, he must be real...” Someone in the crowd muttered to himself, but at that moment it was as loud as a sudden clap of thunder.The crowd was freaking out.How did this nobody that came out of now
The crowd had their eyes wide open and their jaws dropped, not able to utter a single word.Jensen Carlson’s mind had exploded and slowly turned him numb.‘What’s going on?’‘This Harvey York guy not only knows Senior Oskar Armstrong, but he’s talking to him like old friends despite their age difference.’Before people came back to their senses, Senior Armstrong laughed.“Alright, Harvey. Come visit anytime, you know you’re always welcome here…”“Let’s talk business, is there a reason for you to call me this late at night?”Obviously Senior Armstrong also had a brilliant mind. There must be something urgent for Harvey to call him so suddenly.They were only reminiscing before, now onto the main topic.Harvey did not waste any time and flipped open the documents in his hand, then pointing it at the camera.After a few minutes, Senior Armstrong was confused.“Harvey, why do you have the documents of the research project?”“You talked to me about this before, didn’t you?” Harv
Harvey York looked at Gregory Clarke with an expression as cold as ice.“Saint Clarke, you said it yourself, if I can find evidence of his fraud, you’ll expel him as your student.”Gregory’s face turned for the worse, he was awkward beyond belief.He did say such a thing, but the problem was…The Carlson family had an extraordinary status in South Light!To evict someone that came from a medical family, even for Gregory, he would be punished for that consequence!But if he did not do so, his family principles would be ruined!Harvey did not give Gregory any time to think about the situation.“I already saved you from embarrassment by not telling Senior Armstrong about the situation.”“But since you’re Jensen’s teacher, you have to take responsibility for this matter.”“There are documents that should be destroyed, and there are projects that should be abandoned.”“If not, and the word spread, I don’t think even you are able to bear the consequences. Am I wrong?”Gregory imm
“Teacher, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Please forgive me for being reckless. I deserve to die. I really deserve to die…”Ella Graves used to respect his senior, but even she started to sigh at that moment.Ella was more serious about her education more than anyone else.‘Jensen Carlson using means like this to have a little more fame was truly silly.’‘Does he not know that he would be exposed sooner or later using despicable means like this?’Jensen saw Ella looking at him like some sort of disgusting insect and trembled even harder than before.Since the first semester of university, when he first saw Ella speak, he had already decided that he would do anything to pursue her.He knew that his junior values her education the most, that was why he had painstakingly endured for so many years to stage this set.Jensen thought that he could finally take a beautiful woman home after all this time, but he did not think that the situation would end up like this.“Teacher, please! You ha
Jensen Carlson covered his face while making a baleful expression.“Dad, I tried! I’ve put out everything that I prepared since years ago!”“I was prepared to wait until Senior Oskar Armstrong died then bring out the thesis paper!”“But was it not enough that I gave everything I had for this?!”“Us Carlsons are also wealthy, why do we have to be someone else’s servants? Quinton York is nothing…”Slap!The patriarch of the Carlsons swung his hand across Jensen Carlson’s face once again, and immediately stopped him from saying what he wanted to say.“You rebellious child. I’ll tell you one last time, without Master York, the Carlsons would have been under the rubble by now!”“To help Master York with his business is our honor! And we must bear for the consequences this time for our failure!” The patriarch said gloomily.His tall body unconsciously trembled after his speech.Obviously, the name “Quinton York” to the patriarch of the Carlsons had struck fear in his heart.Jensen
Ella Graves followed Harvey York while they walked down the street, she felt like her head was spinning constantly.Too much was happening that day, she could not react to everything properly.She did not know which expression to show Harvey that was walking beside her.‘What is this man actually capable of? He could do almost everything!’Harvey did not care much about what had happened. He ate dinner with Ella and then returned home.***Harvey had just gotten home while bumping into Mandy Zimmer and her mother rushing out. Lilian Yates’ face turned furious after seeing Harvey. She immediately scolded Harvey, “Where have you been at this late hour?!”Harvey replied, “I went to dinner with a friend.”“Eat eat eat, all you’ve known to do is to eat! Do you even realize that your father is back?!” Lilian scolded at him again.“He’s already at the Zimmer Villa! Hurry, don’t let him wait for long!”Harvey froze, were they talking about his own father?He came back to his senses
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
