Right when Harvey York was about to handle the customers at once, a loud clamoring was heard.The customers were shoved aside before a group of men in dark green suits walked past them.They all had fierce looks, their heads raised high, and it was clear that they were not ordinary people.The group leader was a man with golden-rimmed glasses, pale skin, and narrow eyes, who gave the people around him a vicious feeling.He stoically came in front of everyone.Castiel Foster and the others stepped forward.“Who are you people? What’s the problem?”The man smiled.“Is this the Fortune Hall?”“That’s right. What of it?” Castiel responded.The man kicked Castiel to the ground before pulling a chair and sat down.“That’s good!“There should be a man named Harvey York here!“Get him out of here right now!”“Watch your damn mouth!”Kellan Ruiz was just keeping someone’s money when he stood with a gloomy look.“This isn’t a place for you to screw around!”“So what if I’m screw
“I’m still in a good mood right now.“Though, I’ll get angry very soon.“Don’t blame me if corpses pile up here after this!”Miles Keaton smiled faintly as he casually pulled out a butterfly knife and started picking his fingernails.“I’m Harvey York.Harvey finally stood before glancing calmly at Miles.“Why have you come all the way here for me, if I may ask?”Miles curiously sized up Harvey before chuckling.“You’re the legendary Representative York?”“Not quite the legend, though.“I’m just an ordinary representative.”Miles frowned and waved his hand.One of his subordinates stepped up and slammed a check on the table.Harvey casually glanced at the check. A hundred and fifty thousand dollars was written on it.“Here’s a hundred and fifty thousand, Representative York. Consider it a gift for my first visit. Please, accept it.”“I don’t need the money,” replied Harvey.“How dare you! It has Young Master Miles’ signature on it!“Do you know what this means?!“This
“And if I refuse?”“Refuse?Miles Keaton smiled while squinting.“Nobody has ever refused me before my entire life.“I don’t know what’ll happen anyway…“But you can try.”“You’re still threatening me even after knowing I’m Representative York?”“That’s right.“I know that you killed Layton Surrey. I know you rivaled an entire country on your own back in Flutwell.“But this doesn’t mean you’re completely invincible. You know that yourself.“The people of sacred martial arts training grounds can easily tell that you’re a God of War.“But I’m not afraid to tell you something.“Gods of War are impressive to us, but that’s pretty much it.“After all, there’s still a long road to take as a God of War.“Only when you’re at your peak, you’d be considered invincible.”Harvey squinted.“You’re not telling me you’re there now, are you?”Miles heaved a sigh.“Of course not.“After all, the Council of Myth specializes in hidden weapons, not martial arts.“That said, I can let y
Miles Keaton’s face turned dark after hearing Harvey York’s words.“Repeat that one more time!”Harvey pointed at a blackboard.“You still don’t understand? Everything’s written over there.“Emergency hire for janitors; five hundred dollars per month.“The salary isn’t bad, right?”Fwoosh!Miles looked horrible before he threw a shot put toward Harvey.Harvey squinted before flinging his jacket forward, covering the shot put.Bam!The shot put blew up in the Fortune Hall when a foul liquid splattered all over the place. Not only was Harvey’s jacket completely corroded, but some of the bricks were also melted off.Castiel Foster and the others quickly changed expressions. There would be dire consequences if something like this were to explode before the crowd.“You’re using something like this while disregarding everyone else’s safety?“Does the Council of Myth not have rules?”Harvey glared coldly.“The only rules I follow in the Council of Myth is mine!“And my rule is
“You won’t make it harder for me?”Miles Keaton looked as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the universe.“Do you think you have the right even to say that?“You think I’m scared of you just because you managed to sneak up on me?“Let me tell you something!“The Council of Myth has existed for hundreds of years. By now, the Royal Flush has killed Gods of War countless times!“All of them would instantly cower as soon as they heard our weapon’s name!“Do you think a weak God of War like you can even threaten me?! What a joke!Miles chuckled out of rage. His polite appearance was instantly gone.“I’m giving you one more minute! Come with me now, or face the consequences!”After that, Miles made a gesture.One of his subordinates waved their hands before iron sand was dumped at the entrance.The ancient wooden doors were instantly corroded when a foul stench seeped throughout the place.A few customers immediately passed out on the ground with their eyes rolled up as
“I’ll give you three days to consider my offer.“If you don’t comply, then I’m sorry…“I’ll kill off every person that you hold dear, one by one.“I’ll make you completely alone before killing you!“I’ll make you understand just what’ll happen if you disobey me and disrespect my fiancee!”Then, Miles Keaton turned around and left.His subordinates coldly glared at Harvey York before following suit.Harvey calmly observed the sight without taking any action.After all, he needed to keep the people around him safe since Miles was an utterly unreasonable enemy.After Miles and the others left, Harvey tended to some customers on the ground before removing the poison gas inside them.-At the same time, Miles was sitting comfortably in a van when he squinted outside.A woman with black stockings leaned toward him.“How could you just let that man go, Young Master Miles?” she gently asked.“Not only did he insult my lady, he also mocked you.“As long as he lives, my lady must
“You’re finally here, Harvey!”Saul Robbins stood up excitedly before pouring him a cup of tea.“What’s up?Harvey York dived right into the topic.“Did something happen to the company?”Saul shook his head.“The company’s fine. The Golden Garden’s been having a lot of sales too…“But Lola’s in trouble.”Harvey squinted.“What do you mean?”Saul took a deep breath.“Let me tell you everything that happened.“You should know that Lola belongs to the Hoffman family.Harvey gave a slight nod. He naturally knew that.He also had good relations with one of the family’s powerhouses, Mordu’s first-in-command, Benjamin Lynch.“Three days later, the Hoffman family will hold an event here.“The goal is to gather all the Hoffman family and research the family’s business plan for the next ten years.”Harvey frowned.“Why not do that in Holcomb instead? Why here?“Based on the city’s state of affairs, this is inappropriate now, isn’t it?”Saul heaved a sigh.“I’m to blame for t
“Deep sleep?”Harvey York frowned.Saul Robbins took a deep breath.“That’s right. This was what the doctor deduced. She also tried rousing Lola, but to no avail.“Finally, she suggested we try geomancy or traditional martial arts to fix this.“That was why I called you here.”Harvey stood without delay.“Lead the way.”-Half an hour later, Harvey and Saul came to the Robbins family’s spacious manor.The manor had a Gothic design. It was said that hundreds of years ago, this place was the embassy of a particular country from Northern Europe. Every part of the building also had a real antique feel to it.Saul had no intention of introducing Harvey to the place. He worriedly led Harvey across the massive hall to a gloomy corridor before finally reaching a hundred-and-thirty thousand-square-foot bedroom.A European-style bed was placed in the center of the room. Pine was burning in the firewall, releasing a faint aroma throughout the room.Two family doctors sat beside Lola
"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
