Harvey didn’t stay in the villa after his argument with Lilian and Mandy. He went back to the Fortune Hall immediately after.He had already dealt with a lot of things early in the morning.After his fight with Waylon, Fortune Hall had become very well-known.Harvey didn’t even have the time to have a drink. He had no choice but to make Reece and Rodney take care of the place as part of their training.If they did a good job, he promised to fix Waylon’s Book of Changes and teach them everything.The two were a little unhappy at first, but they were ecstatic when they heard Harvey’s promise. They happily worked their butts off soon after.Harvey was a lot less pressured, since two of his disciples were working as well. Even so, he only had time to rest in the afternoon.Seeing that the hall was filled with customers, he decided to buy some things at the geomancy market.The paper and cinnabar were all leftovers provided by Reece. If Harvey wanted to attract Evermore, he’d have t
Gabriel was there too. The two were red in the face as they argued with a few staff.A lot of people were in an uproar as well.Soon after, a woman in a dress showed up. She seemed to be the manager of the place; she had an exquisite face and a beautiful figure.When she narrowed her eyes, one could see arrogance in her gaze.Harvey could tell that Simon was in big trouble. The man wouldn’t act that way if that wasn’t the case.He frowned for a moment before stepping forward.He didn’t want to get involved, but Simon was still his father-in-law. It was only natural for him to ask about the situation.“What’s going on, Dad?” Harvey asked quietly as he stepped forward. Simon glanced at him and gritted his teeth, but said nothing. Gabriel glared disdainfully at Harvey. Thinking of what happened the day before, he didn’t dare insult Harvey. If Harvey got angry and asked for Azrael’s support, he’d be dead before he realized it!Before Simon could explain the situation, the woman
Simon glared haughtily at Esther.“I’m in the geomancy market’s Empire Hall, Silas…” he began. “Someone named Esther John is trying to trick my money out of me. I need your help. You…”“Hello? Hello?”“What did you say, Uncle? The signal’s getting weak…”Beep, beep, beep!The call ended right after.Simon froze. He dialed the number a few more times, but the busy tone would always play. Without Silas’s help, he had no idea how to deal with the situation.“Looks like Young Master John won’t be coming to you!” Esther exclaimed.In reality, she knew that Blaine was the owner of the place. At the end of the day, Silas was just his younger brother!Silas would be insane if he stood up against Blaine for someone else’s sake.Harvey said nothing as they argued. He crouched down to look at the broken pieces on the ground.The exquisite statue was made purely out of porcelain. Aside from the wooden fish in the statue’s hands, everything else was basically dust.Judging from the qual
Simon was shivering with rage. It was his first time enduring such humiliation since he came to Golden Sands.He gritted his teeth, still holding his phone.“I didn’t break the statue! Why should I give you any money? Why should I take responsibility?”“That’s right! What right do you have to push the blame on my father without the cops’ report?” Gabriel exclaimed.“Besides, where’s proof that the statue actually costs 1.5 million dollars?”“Maybe it’s a fake!”Simon was so agitated, he started jumping up and down. “That’s right! The statue’s a fake!”Harvey pinched the shards on the ground. “The statue’s real. No doubt about that.”Everyone froze. They looked at Harvey, puzzled.He was clearly on Simon’s side, yet he was speaking up for Esther.‘What’s going on here?’‘Is that man getting betrayed?’Esther looked at Harvey, and smiled.Simon was boiling with anger. “What are you saying, you b*stard?”“Stop spouting nonsense if you don’t know anything here, Harvey! I’ll
“Don’t worry, Dad.”“I’ll pay the damages.”Harvey grabbed the wooden fish, then handed his Black Card to Esther.“1.5 million. Give me the receipt.”Simon’s face darkened instantly. “Where did you get the money from? Did you steal it from Mandy?”Gabriel immediately got jealous when he heard that. “Right! You must’ve stolen the money!” he yelled. “I’m warning you, Harvey! I’ll sue you if you spend Mandy’s money like this!”“I want you to suffer!”Simon glared fiercely, as if he was looking at a loser.“You think Mandy would have that much money right now?” Harvey retorted. Gabriel and Simon froze, then came back to their senses. All of Mandy’s money was basically used for the Zimmer Enterprise at this point.If she really had the money for Harvey, the Zimmer Enterprise and the ninth branch wouldn’t be in so much trouble.“Azrael lent me the money.”Harvey casually found someone else to blame. Then, he looked at Esther.“Can you hurry up? I’m running out of time.”Si
“You’re embarrassing!” Simon screamed. “From now on, don’t you dare step in the family’s front door from now on!”“If you do, I’ll kick you out like a stray dog!”Facing the crowd’s disdainful gazes, Simon was boiling with anger.He wouldn’t dare lash out at Esther, so he had no choice but to vent all his anger on Harvey.“Ignore this dirtbag, Father,” Gabriel said.“Since he’s so rich that he can make his own decisions, we’ll let him take responsibility.”“Come on, we shouldn’t be near this idiot. People will think that we’re actually with him.”Gabriel hated Harvey to the bone. Because of Harvey, he and his wife were almost dead yesterday.Esther sized up Harvey. After confirming that Harvey wasn’t capable of anything, she chuckled coldly.“We don’t try to please the crowd here.”“If you’re going to be a clown, go outside.”Harvey smiled calmly before putting the shards on the ground. Then, he squeezed the wooden fish lightly.Crack!A rock the size of a thumb was foun
Harvey squinted at the rock in his hand, ignoring everyone in the process.Using his geomancy, he noticed the rock was shining slightly.There was something covering the rock on the outside, making it seem that there was treasure hidden inside.Harvey smiled at Esther, then asked, “Can you lend me some tools?”Esther froze, then scoffed.“Even if there’s a small gem inside…”“It’d be crazy for it to be even a hundred and fifty thousand dollars!”“You really think there’d be insane treasure inside?”“You want to earn money in the geomancy market? Are you out of your mind?”Despite saying all that, Esther waved her hand and had someone give Harvey some tools. She wanted to humiliate Harvey even more.“Is that so?”“You must be quite experienced, Ms. John.”“That said, there are no absolutes in this world.”“There are a lot of things beyond your comprehension.”Under everyone’s gaze, Harvey grabbed some tools and slowly chipped away the sand on the rock. Soon, a half-transpa
Harvey handled the gem, ignoring the crowd.Esther frowned; she didn’t believe what Kian said at all.‘An Augustea hiding in a random statue?’‘From Caesar Augustus himself?’‘What a joke!’‘There’s no way everyone here could miss out on the gem!’Harvey’s movements were slower and steadier. Nobody dared to say a single word. Pin-drop silence filled the hall. They wanted Harvey to show the true form of the gem, but they were also afraid of him breaking it. It’d be unforgivable if that happened.Soon, everyone could see the whole gem.It was smooth, plump, and translucent. Even an ordinary person could tell that there was a slight glimmer on the gem’s surface.Those who can use geomancy arts could tell it was shining with a bright aura. Kian’s eyes lit up instantly.“It really is Caesar’s Augustea!”“I only saw the same thing from before, when I was in India’s royal temple.”“I didn’t think I’d see it again!”“Legends say that there are only nine of these in the entire
"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
