“Go! Get inside!”Harvey’s gaze was grim, and he rushed into the manor.The sun was already gone. There was only light from the streetlamps. The sky was cold and icy, and the wind carried a desolate gloom. The manor seemed like a haunted mansion.The security guards and servants were seen wearing puffer jackets, shivering from the chill. Saul rushed after Harvey, his entire body covered up like a bear. He was shivering as well. He gave Harvey a jacket, then looked at his phone.“This is bad, Harvey! I just got word!“A powerful chill seeped out of the bedroom not long after we left. Mr. Nobuyuki tried using his Yin-Yang Technique and the Island Nations’ martial arts, to no avail! His legs got frostbite. “He wanted to leave, but my butler stopped him. He was told to fix the problem, no matter what. He’s been trying to channel spirits since then.“We don’t know what’s going on at this point.”Harvey frowned. “Spirit channeling? Does he think he can solve the problem this way?”
Nobuyuki yelled, and the paper dolls landed right on Lola’s body.The paper dolls ignited themselves, as if they were trying to remove the cold air from her. The moment the cold air dissipated, the entire room felt normal once again.Gian, whose legs were bandaged, peeked inside and entered the room. When he saw Nobuyuki’s haughty expression, and that the cold air had been dealt with, he was filled with excitement.“I knew I was right about you, Mr. Nobuyuki! The Island Nations’ Yin-Yang Technique is invincible! Only you can deal with this sort of thing!”Gian then fiercely glared at Harvey. Saul would have to pay a huge price for his broken legs if he could prove that Nobuyuki was useful.Nobuyuki ignored Gian’s praises; he took a deep breath before pulling out a bronze mirror.Before he could finish his actions, the paper dolls were instantly reduced to ashes. The cold air appeared again!“Gods of the Island Nations, release!” Nobuyuki yelled, tapping the mirror.Crack!The
Harvey glanced at Nobuyuki with a faint smile.“Is that all you’re going to give me?”Everyone froze; they were wondering why Harvey was targeting Nobuyuki.Nobuyuki’s face darkened instantly. “Fine! You’re pretty impressive. Is that good enough for you? Do you think you’re some hot shot after picking up after the work I’ve done?”After hearing Nobuyuki’s words, Gian, who hated Harvey from the beginning, strutted into the bedroom.“That’s right! Everyone saw it!” he exclaimed, then chuckled coldly.“Mr. Nobuyuki placed the talisman behind my sister to treat her. You wouldn’t be able to handle the situation if it wasn’t for that!”“When did I say that the situation’s already dealt with?” Harvey said. Everyone froze after hearing his words.Nobuyuki’s expression changed. “You’re still pretending now?!”“There is someone pretending here, but not me,” Harvey replied.“Lola was hit by the Ice Palm, causing her arteries to freeze up. At most, she’d have a layer of ice around her.
“I couldn’t solve this problem despite all my efforts… But Harvey took advantage of my work and heal Mrs. Lola!“I’m not asking for anything anymore. I wouldn’t want to be slandered just for the favor and benefits that I’d get!”Nobuyuki took a deep breath.“I’ll refrain from causing trouble, for Young Master Gian’s sake. I wouldn’t want somebody escalating things and making Mrs. Lola’s situation worse.”Lola let out a deep grunt, as if to cooperate with Nobuyuki. This never happened again when she was unconscious.Nobuyuki proudly looked at Saul, as if he was speaking nothing but the truth.“Can’t you see that I’m removing the cold air from her? Why are you still pretending now?”While Nobuyuki was boiling with anger, everyone looked over to Harvey while he was channeling energy into Lola. A hint of cold air came out of her mouth soon after.Her face finally regained color before she went into a deep sleep.A lot of people there were expert martial artists; they could tell th
Nobuyuki gritted his teeth. “That’s right!”“The bedroom was flooded with cold air after you did that, right?” Saul asked again. Nobuyuki’s hands were pressed on the ground. “Right. That was my fault.”Saul took a deep breath.“I trusted you, but you betrayed my trust. Since you’re an Islander, I’ll give you a chance to kill yourself.”Nobuyuki’s head was planted on the ground, and he started to shed tears.“I was just tempted, Mr. Saul! I…”Cold air started seeping out in between his fingers as he pressed his hands on the ground again; he looked to carry out his plan.Naturally, Nobuyuki wasn’t planning on giving up at all.Everything he did was to initiate his scheme.Bang!It was a shame he kneeled a little too fast despite his careful planning. Saul didn’t trust him at all because of it.The moment he was about to use his trump card, a bullet had already gone right past his hand.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain were heard.Saul stepped forward, then stomped on Nobuyuki’s h
After dealing with the situation, Lola finally awoke. Harvey then returned to Fortune Hall.In the John family’s residence, Westley threw an ancient-looking cup to the ground before screaming at Blaine.“Filth! You’re filth!“The same goes for people you got, too!“Those people from sacred martial arts training grounds just can’t do anything right!“Why can’t they just beat Harvey to death?!“The Islander’s completely useless, too! He talked as if he was so impressive, asking for all sorts of things…“But look what happened! He landed right in the Patel family’s hands! We’re all finished if he even talks!”Blaine took in everything calmly.“Patience is a virtue, Young Master Westley. You don’t need me to tell you that. You’ve been repeating yourself quite a lot already, haven’t you?”Westley held back his wretched expression, and instinctively shivered. Naturally, he knew that he was just Emery’s lackey. He only talked this big in front of Blaine because of the courage Emer
Half an hour later, Harvey arrived at the main hall of Golden Sands’ top general hospital.Kairi and Elias approached him, looking miserable.“You’re here, Sir York.”Even with Elias’s support to take control of the city’s situation, there were some things that just couldn’t be predicted.Harvey wasted no time to ask, “What happened?”Kairi made a gesture for him to follow her. “You remember Nobuyuki, right?”Harvey froze; of course he did. He had humiliated that Islander and exposed the man for who he was. What else could’ve happened?Kairi took a deep breath.“Saul sent the Islander to us. Normally speaking, we’d be able to take down Blaine and the others if we could get more information out of Nobuyuki.“After all, we suspect that his appearance was involved with Blaine.“However, something happened halfway through our questioning…”Harvey stopped in his tracks before looking at Kairi. “He died?”Kairi sighed. “That’d be much better. No, he’s on the verge of death right
“Other than that, there’s one more worry that’s causing us to stay away from him.“We suspect that he might be a bioweapon prepared by the Island Nations. After all, they’re quite proficient at that sort of thing. If Nobuyuki is a weapon to cause chaos to the country…”Kairi let out a huge sigh.“Besides, if the virus were to spread throughout the city with twenty million people in it… The Patel family would be blamed for all this.”Harvey frowned.“Open the door. I’ll go take a look.”Harvey had a speculation, but he didn’t want to draw a conclusion just yet.The doctors hesitated for a moment. However, Kairi waved her hand for them to open the door.Creak…The door slowly opened, and Harvey looked inside.“We meet again, Mr. Nobuyuki.”Nobuyuki instantly turned his head and pounced on Harvey with bloodshot eyes. Safe to say, only one thing came to mind for the people who watched movies: zombies!“Look out, Sir York!” Kairi exclaimed.Harvey frowned, then kicked Nobuyuki
"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
