The Islanders were unsatisfied after slapping themselves in the face. They even looked at each other before slapping themselves to ensure they were not dreaming.Their faces were completely swollen when they looked at Harvey York with shock and disbelief, thinking they saw the most unbelievable thing.Soren Braff and Darwin Gibson gasped with solemn expressions as well.Not only was Harvey well-versed in martial arts and geomancy arts…He even got Shay Gibson to fight this impressively with just a few simple instructions.People like that were extremely rare.The two decided to cling to Harvey no matter what.They did not want him to be their enemy. They would die horrible deaths if that were the case!Harvey would be enough to put them at ease while giving their enemies despair.As for Shay, she was filled with admiration and praise when she looked at Harvey. She could not believe that such a person actually existed in the world.“One of the top ten in the Island Nations’ yo
After all, even an expert like Monica Vaus was completely crushed.Their lame kung fu would not do any good.They would only make fools out of themselves.They decided that they were going to run away instead.“Did I say that you can leave?”Harvey York clapped his hands, signaling for Shay Gibson and the others to stop the Islanders in their tracks.“We already gave up, Harvey! What else do you want?!”An Islander was furious. He thought he had already given Harvey a lot of respect, yet the feeling was not reciprocated.“I didn’t want anything, but you people wasted so much of my time. I wasn’t surprised by any of you either. I should at least find something worthwhile for my own sake, right?“How about this? I won’t take advantage of you cowards.“Break one of your arms and leave.“Of course, you can decide otherwise, but I’ll break both your arms.”“You better get it straight, Harvey! We’re all nobility from the Island Nations. We have diplomatic immunity! You’ll pay if
“Father and Mother said you wouldn’t dare come anymore since you couldn’t bring Mandy justice!“But you came!“Did Chiba Nobita and the others get what they deserved?”Xynthia Zimmer was excited.Harvey York leaked a smile.“Of course. They got their punishment.“Chiba won’t show up in front of you ever again.“You and the family are safe.”“That’s great!”Xynthia dragged Harvey along when she hopped into the elevator.“Father and Mother aren’t here today. I’m the only one with Mandy.“You should use this chance to talk to her.”The elevator came to the inpatient department floor.Harvey sighed without explaining anything.“Harvey’s here, Mandy!“It’s been a while since you two had some alone time! You should talk to him!“I’ll go out for a midnight snack! Don’t worry!“I’m being thoughtful! I won’t bother you two!”Xynthia shut the door as she giggled.But the moment she did, the smile on her face was immediately replaced by a hint of gloom when she forced herself t
“I want you to leave the city with me!” whispered Mandy Zimmer.“We’ll go as far as we can.“We’ll live where nobody knows us, okay?”Harvey York froze. He had once thought of the same thing but could not leave under such circumstances.Mandy’s body froze, as if she saw Harvey’s reluctance.“You don’t want to?”Harvey kept quiet for a moment.“I do, but at least wait until I finish my business in Golden Sands.”“Golden Sands?“What do you still have to do with this place?“Is it because of Kairi Patel? Or is it about Dayna?”Mandy chuckled coldly with an unspeakably sorrowful expression.“You’re just scum after all, Harvey!“Father and Mother said you’ve been thinking about Xynthia lately!“I even fought for you!“And yet what happened?!“Hmph!”Right as Mandy was about to lash out again, the door was slammed open.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates showed up together.Lilian’s gaze was filled with pride as she glared at Harvey with a cold expression.“I told you I was r
Lilian Yates was furious.“I don’t give a f*ck!“What do you know?!“I finally made contact with Young Master John! He agreed to meet with Mandy!“What are we supposed to do if Harvey and her got back together?!”Simon Zimmer froze before heaving a sigh.If Blaine John actually married Mandy Zimmer, it would be perfect for both the family and the ninth branch.Then again, it would always be bad to force such a relationship!At this point, Simon and Lilian had no say in the situation.***Half an hour later, Harvey York and Mandy arrived at a Western restaurant beside the Rio River.Mandy bought a change of clothes nearby before putting them on, then ordered some food for Harvey without much effort.Harvey looked odd when he saw the food in front of him. These were all of his favorites after all.Harvey showed a profound look. He knew that he was still in Mandy’s heart.If not, she would not have done such a thing in the first place.“What? You’re trying to keep me here b
On the next day, at nine o’clock in the morning. A red Ferrari 488 was parked in front of the Fortune Hall.Harvey York wore a robe, as Mandy Zimmer requested, before sitting on the passenger’s seat.Mandy stepped on the pedal when the car sped off as quick as lightning.Harvey flipped through the Centennial Book in his hand while on the road.“Why would you need to be so careful about this particular client?“I have to wear all this?”Harvey felt the most comfortable wearing his casual clothes and extremely uncomfortable wearing a robe like this.Mandy briefly hesitated.“I just met the client. He has connections with the Jean family and has a lot of power.“That said, he’s a bit of a loner. He’s not that easy to hang out with.“Then again, I heard there’s a huge problem with his house. He has been getting headaches and nightmares all year round. He’d even get palpitations whenever he dozed off during the day.“It’s said that he asked for countless well-known doctors to hel
Mandy Zimmer signaled Harvey York to leave the car when she approached the security guard before the entrance.“Hello. I’m Mandy Zimmer of the Jean family’s ninth branch. I brought a geomancy expert to help,” she said politely.“I already called Ms. Amora beforehand.”The security guard took a few good glances at Mandy before taking his walkie-talkie out. Then, he hung up and pressed a button, opening the gate for Mandy and Harvey to head inside.The two came across an elegant-looking garden.A woman with a pretty face and a beautiful long dress walked out from the villa not far ahead.She was exuding the aura of an upperclassman. She looked just like a high and mighty princess, looking down at the entire world.She glanced at Mandy before calmly speaking.“Hello, Mrs. Zimmer.”She had her arms completely crossed, not wanting to make any sort of contact with Mandy.This was enough to show just how prideful she actually was.Harvey squinted at the woman in front of him. Judgi
At the same time, he recognized the person’s identity.He was Brayan Foster from one of the top ten families.“Mrs. Zimmer’s here, Father!”Amora Foster respectfully stepped forward after seeing the man before her.“She brought a young man who she calls the best geomancy expert in the city.”She was clearly filled with disdain the moment she said those words.Naturally, she was not interested in a young man who took such a title.Even then, she would not kick Harvey out herself. She wanted to let Brayan make the decision instead.Judging from this, it was enough to show just how much she respected her father.“Thank you, Mandy.“The top ten families are banded together. Just come to me if you need any help.“You really don’t have to be this courteous.”Brayan did not seem prideful at all. He stood before politely shaking hands with Mandy like a true gentleman.Harvey spread his energy to scout the place before understanding Brayan’s situation.“You’re too kind, Mr. Brayan
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
