“Are you begging me right now?”Harvey York smiled at Blaine John.Blaine’s eyes twitched before smiling back.“That’s right. That’s exactly what I’m doing.”“Good boy.Harvey patted Blaine’s face.The simple move was enough for the shadows around them to start moving. A few fierce men in suits stepped forward with firearms in hand, but Blaine waved his hand to stop them.“You’ve got a keen eye.Harvey patted Blaine’s face a little harder.“I knew that you’re an impressive man.“It’s not the first time that you’ve been this tolerant! Impressive!”Harvey raised his thumb.Kairi Patel rolled her eyes.Harvey was the only one who would dare disrespect Blaine in public, after all!“Let’s save Westley then.”Then, Harvey walked to the ICU.Five minutes later, Harvey put his fingers on Westley’s wrist before smiling faintly.“He’s already in a bad state. The lymph in his brain’s almost about to burst…“And yet you still gave him another injection.“Now that his cerebellum
“The royal court agreed, but we need some time to implement the procedure…”“I’m pretty impatient,” said Harvey York before Blaine John could finish his sentence.Blaine chuckled.“Listen to me first. We only need a day at most.“If we’re fast, we’ll see Ms. Kairi’s appointment document during our meal.“If she wants to, she can attend all sorts of meetings of the Golden Sands government.“She also can solve many problems with just her words alone.“It’s no joke that she’d have thousands of people serving under her after that!Blaine showed a pleasing look before glancing at Kairi Patel.“Ms. Kairi, or should I say Madam Kairi?“I hope that you don’t let the people down!”Even Kairi felt a little sluggish after hearing such words.She did not expect the Patel family to have a chance to be involved with the government.It was just a part of it, but this was a crucial move.She took a deep breath before looking at Blaine.“Don’t worry, Young Master John.“The Patel family
Harvey York explained his technique while poking the needles in Westley Wright’s body. When he finally poked a needle in between Westley’s brows, Kairi Patel was shocked to find out that dark blood flowed out of his orifices.The blood had an extremely foul stench with an unspeakable malicious aura.Harvey frowned before he quickly grabbed a test tube to collect the liquid.The room door opened not long after. Blaine John instinctively came in after constantly pacing around outside.“How is it, Sir York?”“The lymph’s out of Westley’s brain,” replied Harvey.“He won’t die if he isn’t stupid enough to inject himself with the drug again.“He’ll be fully awake after an hour’s sleep.“That said, you need to remind him to eat a light diet and refrain from doing anything intimate for the next seven days.“It’d be better if he decides to seclude himself entirely.”Blaine smiled when he waved his hand for a few doctors of the John family to check up on Westley. Naturally, he did not
Blaine John’s eyes twitched and looked horrible after seeing Harvey York and Kairi Patel’s backs.He thought he had been too respectful toward Harvey.‘Isn’t he scared of me going all out against him in a fit of rage?’The people beside Blaine looked at each other without saying a word. They realized that they knew nothing about the situation.After a while, Blaine heaved a long sigh to compose himself. Then, he dismissed his people before pulling out a dumbphone.The cold voice of a woman echoed when he dialed the only number inside.“What is it, Blaine?”Blaine smiled.“I have something to inform you, Your Holiness.“There’s a possibility of the map resurfacing.“A man named Harvey has gathered the six Hermit Families.“Operation Stormfield is a go.”-Harvey did not know what Blaine was planning, nor did he care.If he did, he would probably be pleasantly surprised.After all, he came to Golden Sands to deal with Evermore…But there had been no news about the organiz
According to the rules, Kairi Patel would oversee the government’s finances, real estate, and other daily affairs.To prevent Harvey York from accusing the John family of turning Kairi into a figurehead…Damon John decided to give Kairi authority despite his reluctance.Of course, Kairi knew that without any power over the other personnel, the first-in-commands of each department probably would not submit to her either.Yet Kairi did not feel insecure or sad about the situation. Rather, she was filled with excitement about what would happen next.At nine o’clock in the morning, inside the government’s multi-functional meeting room.The first-in-commands and directors of each department were gathered.Many gazes shifted when they saw Kairi in a proper business dress, bare-faced, along with Harvey beside her.Harvey casually glanced around before sensing the derisive gazes.It was only natural.Kairi’s rise was completely sudden. Because of her, many people’s opportunities to r
A man in a silk suit and a badge labeled “Land Department” was showing Harvey York a deathly glare.It was as if Harvey’s existence was affecting his promotion and stealing his favorite item.Harvey could not care less about the odd gazes when he looked around him and smiled.“Hello, everyone. We’re all colleagues from now on.“We naturally don’t have much experience since we only recently took position.“I do hope that you’ll all support Madam Kairi.”“Heh! You realize that you’re inexperienced?The director of the land department glared at Harvey disdainfully.“I know that you appointed fifty men to work here, Madam Kairi…“But the government isn’t playing games here.“I have no opinion if you’re appointing just a few men…“But why would you put a kept man like him in such an important position?“Do you think we’re playing games here?“The position has no actual power, but it represents the government’s image!“On special occasions, he can even assume the duty of both t
Kairi Patel looked into Chanse Foster’s eyes.“I already made a mistake right when I took position?“Maybe you should enlighten me as to what I did wrong.”Chanse gave a cold chuckle.“You don’t even know what’s been happening in the government…“And yet you still dare take the position as the second-in-command? How shameless can you get?“Looks like you won’t be here for long after all…Chanse let out another chuckle.“A few days ago, the reconstruction of the old town’s been mostly handled.“Our designated consultant managed to convince many residents to move.“With these people, not only will we complete the reconstruction without much effort…“We wouldn’t have to spend too much on the relocation either!“They trust Mr. Trevor Foster, the man who discussed about relocation with them!“Reconstruction of the old town and land relocation is the government’s most extensive project this year!“This is also one of the tasks appointed to us by the royal court!“If we don’t c
At this moment, many higher-ups were squinting at Kairi Patel.They wanted to see how the new second-in-command would handle such an accusation.Kairi was also in charge of the land department. If she could not deal with one of her own departments…She would be reduced to being a mere figurehead.Kairi frowned. She had no time to deal with this in just a single day.She could not ascertain whether Chanse Foster was speaking the truth.Chanse casually sipped his tea before smiling faintly.“Let’s cut to the chase, Madam Kairi.“Why don’t we stop the meeting here?“Come with me to the land department to hold a staff meeting.“On one hand, I’m sure everyone would like to meet you.“On the other hand, you’d need to apologize to everyone as well.“After all, their efforts are all for nothing because of your sudden rise to power.“As the second-in-command, it wouldn’t be hard for you to make a simple apology, right?”The deputy and the small leaders of the land department in th
