Henley and Harley glanced over, then saw Harvey with a knife.“Harvey…”The two froze instantly.Westin recognized that face as well.He couldn’t accept the fact that he bumped into Harvey during the most humiliating moment of his life. He wanted to hit his head against a wall so badly.The two women who were about to leave tugged on Ronnie’s arms before pointing at Harvey and whispering quietly into his ears.Ronnie brought his people closer with playful looks on their faces.Westin was scared witless. He thought the crowd was after him again, and he quickly stumbled out of the place.He was completely infuriated, but he knew full well he was no match against Ronnie.He’d suffer a horrible death if he stayed any longer.Bam!Right as Harvey was preparing to cut his steak, Ronnie immediately kicked a chair straight at him.Harvey stepped back, evading the chair with ease.A loud bang could be heard as the chair slammed into the table.It was a complete mess. The entire me
Harvey didn’t even bat an eye at Ronnie.“Move!”“You b*stard!”Ronnie slammed the table, fuming.“You don’t know what’s best for you, huh?!”“Fine! I’ll let you know what happens when you go against me!”Ronnie waved his hand, sending many bodyguards against Harvey at once.“Hey, Ronnie! Who gave you the courage to go against Sir York?”Many burly, fierce-looking men showed up at the entrance.Kellan’s wrathful face could be seen at the very front.He was full of injuries, but his entire body was completely surrounded by radiant light.Harvey noticed that a few of his subordinates were martial art experts as well.Kellan had finished whatever business he had upstairs. He had received full support from the people backing him as well.“Sir York is my brother! Whoever goes against him, I’ll f*cking kill them!”Kellan showed his stance without hesitation, as if he was Harvey’s actual subordinate.Westin froze; he didn’t think Kellan would actually side with Harvey.“Heh, h
“You should just kneel right now, Harvey!”Harley couldn’t help but speak up, pride written all over her face.She wanted to see this live-in son-in-law in tears, begging for mercy.“Ronnie isn’t just any other man, Harvey! His identity and status aren’t something you can comprehend!”“Kellan can protect you for now, but he can’t protect you for the rest of your damn life!”Harley raised her beautiful face arrogantly.“If you don’t kneel right now, you’ll have hell to pay in the future!”“I suggest you do everything Ronnie says before he gets angry!”“If not, everything will be all too late for you!”Henley squinted at Harvey as she laughed coldly.“Young Master Lee isn’t someone you can go against, Harvey!”“Maybe you have a pretty good relationship with Kellan for him to call you his brother.”“Maybe you’re good enough to fight ten people yourself.”“But so what?”“Young Master Lee and the people behind him are way more powerful than you can ever imagine!”“Kneel alrea
Kellan had an odd look on his face; he didn’t know what to say.He realized that he had completely underestimated Harvey.Ronnie clearly was going to leave, but Harvey still stood up to disrespect him.Nobody knew if Harvey was just utterly ruthless or powerful enough to deal with a small fry like Ronnie.The other customers were completely shocked to see it.Naturally, none of them could believe someone would act this arrogant in front of Ronnie in a place like Golden Sands!“You ruined p my entire meal, dirtied my clothes, and ruined my mood,” Harvey said with a righteous look on his face.“And you think you can just walk away like this?”“For Kellan’s sake, I won’t argue with you.”“As long as you kneel and pay 1.5 million dollars, I’ll let it slide.”“If not, I’ll have you lying on the ground outside.”The entire crowd was shocked by what Harvey had said.They all stared at Harvey, filled with disbelief.‘He’s nuts!’‘He’s actually nuts!’‘When did a live-in son-in-l
“You’re from the Lee family, aren’t you, kid?”Wes crossed his arms while glaring coldly at Ronnie.“Have you asked for your father’s permission before acting so cocky?”“Call him. Ask him if he dares to even speak to me like this.”Ronnie’s eyes twitched frantically. He quickly bowed, gritting his teeth.“I’m sorry, Mr. Pagan! I drank too much! I’m sorry for speaking like this!”“I won’t do it again!”“I don’t need your apology. Kneel to Sir York.”“I’ll let it slide if he forgives you.”“If not, we’ll settle all of our scores today!”Henley’s eyes twitched without pause.‘Isn’t Harvey just a live-in son-in-law? Isn’t he just some random filth?!’‘Why does he even have someone legendary like Wes covering his back?!’Harley’s expression worsened.She thought she’d be able to crush Harvey easily if she sold her body to Ronnie…However, she finally realized that Harvey was way more trouble than she could ever expect!Ronnie’s expression changed frantically; he didn’t want
Not only was Ronnie slapped in the face, he was also slapped to the ground.Henley and the others were completely shocked to see it.Henley couldn’t help but slap herself in the face to make sure she wasn’t dreaming.Harley was filled with disbelief.She couldn’t believe the fact that every time she challenged Harvey, thinking she’d be able to get the upper hand, he’d bite her in the back.Her high and mighty attitude would never accept that.She wanted Harvey to feel fear. Thus, she wanted to cling to Ronnie. She wanted Harvey to beg for mercy, and not be in such high spirits.“How dare you, Harvey?!”Ronnie stumbled off the ground.“Do you think I’m scared of you?!”“Do you think I’m an easy target for you to push around?!”“I’m warning you…”Slap!Harvey slapped Ronnie in the face once again.“Warning me what?”Ronnie was in a daze after being slapped around for so long.“What do you want?”“Kneel and apologize!”Harvey swung his palm forward.“Then pay up!”“Are
Ignoring authority and background…Ronnie was sure he could take out ten Harveys.‘Without Wes, Harvey’s dead for sure!’“Don’t get too cocky, Harvey!”“I’ll definitely kill you when I get the chance!”Ronnie stood up before speaking up in a voice only he and Harvey could hear.“I’ll kill every single person you hold dear as well!”“I’ll burn all of your ancestors to the ground!”“I’ll settle scores with you sooner or later!”“Is that so?”Harvey chuckled calmly before kicking Ronnie down in front of everyone.Wes and the others were completely speechless to see it.‘Does this guy really have a death wish? Why would he still threaten Harvey now?’Harvey smiled.“I’ll wait for you.”“But remember…”“I kept you alive for Mr. Pagan and Kellan’s sake.”“Next time, it’ll be a different story.”Ronnie glared at Harvey with a wretched look.He swallowed his anger before stumbling his way out of the place.Henley and Harley’s beautiful faces were filled with resentment and
When Kellan left, Harvey approached Wes with a smile.“Thank you for showing up tonight.”“Without you, I would’ve been in a little trouble.”Wes burst out laughing.“You’re too kind, Sir York.”“It’s only natural for me to help when you’ve already saved my life.”“Besides, you wouldn’t be in any sort of trouble even without my help anyway.”“I’m only putting the icing on the cake at this point.”Naturally, Wes knew Harvey was a discreet man.It’d be embarrassing for Harvey if he wasn’t able to deal with the mess on his own.Arlet walked toward Harvey, then leaned into his ear.“You should be thanking me instead, Harvey!”“I was the one who took the shots! You would’ve been gunned down by Ronnie’s men if it wasn’t for me!”Harvey chuckled.“Sure. Thanks for that.”“How about this? I’ll give you a month off. Come back to work after that.”“You!”Arlet was speechless.“You stingy man!”“I saved your life, yet you still won’t cancel the damn bet?! I’ve never seen such a
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
