Harvey York smirked.“I don’t know about that.“What I do know…“Is that his position as vice chairman will end soon.“Cherish the remaining weeks you have.“After all, he’d have nothing to do with the title after that.”In the beginning, Harvey did not care much if he became the chairman of Country H Commercial Group…After all, the organization was only a business alliance to integrate the country’s resources to combat outside forces.Harvey did not want too much to do with this since this was only commercial.After all, the citizens would be dragged down if some outsider were to ruin the structure of the business.If the entire organization’s higher-ups were similar to someone like Leighton Xeno, it might be prime time for a restructure.Carmen froze before she coldly chuckled.“Is that so?“Who do you think you are? The chairman himself?“Look yourself in the mirror before even claiming something like that!“How ignorant can you get?!”“Smart.“I am the chairman.”
The four black-suited men hesitated momentarily before putting their firearms away.Leighton Xeno took a deep breath, then approached Harvey York with a forced smile.“I’m sorry, young man!“My daughter’s been pampered her entire life! She’s just being rude!“Please! Be the better person and ignore her!“Carmen! Get over here and apologize!”Carmen stumbled off the ground with a horrible look.“Mr. Leighton…” she said while the corner of her mouth twitched nonstop.Leighton’s face darkened.Carmen approached Harvey after seeing Leighton getting mad again.“I’m sorry!” she exclaimed with resentment.“I told you before.“And I’m telling you this again.“What’s the point of the law if an apology’s enough?”Harvey looked like a powerless man when he uttered those words before…But now, he was an upperclassman looking down on his subjects.Carmen thought nothing would happen to her even if Harvey called the cops…But she had a strong feeling that she was wrong then.“It wa
“It’d be embarrassing to visit the police station. Our schedule would also be affected…“But if the kid’s from the top ten families or the five hidden families, he wouldn’t be able to cause us more trouble once we put up a good enough front.“We might even be able to visit him and apologize for what happened, too. That way, we’d get closer to a prominent figure than we might think.”Leighton Xeno blew out a puff of smoke.“But, what if he’s just filth who shows off?” asked Carmen Leighton vengefully.“Filth?Leighton glanced at Carmen.“If that’s the case, then we’ll get our revenge back, of course.“You’d be locked up for an hour. Why not lock him up forever as payback?“Remember: use your head when you speak next time.“This is a crucial moment to take the throne.“Be discreet. Do you understand?”Carmen lightly nodded while unabashedly showing her lust for revenge in her eyes.-While the two were turning themselves in, Harvey had already forgotten everything that happ
Instinctively, Aurelio Lee’s expression worsened.He glared at Harvey York as if he were a stinkbug before making a video call.“Hey! I’ll be a little late today!“Wait for me, okay? Remember to clean yourself up first!”Aurelio leaned toward the driver’s seat while blinding the person on the phone with the shiny logo at the front of the car.The hostess started acting cute after seeing the car logo.“You’ll keep your promise, right?“I took the leave tonight just to see you!“You won’t just ditch me here, will you?”“Of course not!Aurelio let out a scoff.“I’ll be honest with you. I was told to fetch a relative from the countryside. I thought it’d be some young master that I could introduce to your friends.“And yet…”Aurelio pointed the camera at Harvey.The hostess gasped.“My God!“My besties are destined to be married into wealthy families, you know!“Forget a poor sob like him!“Just chase him off with some money already! I’ll be waiting at the apartment!“I g
“If I tell your goddess about this, would she still insist on seeing you tonight?”Harvey York smiled faintly at Aurelio Lee.“You’re spouting nonsense! Of course she wouldn’t believe you!” exclaimed Aurelio in shock.He quickly tried to take Harvey’s phone away from him.But before he could, he was instantly slapped to the ground.“I know every single donation that she received, and I know when she gets online every time.“Do you really think she wouldn’t believe me after knowing that?”Aurelio’s eyes twitched.“How do you know all that…?” asked Aurelio in disbelief, his eyes frantically twitching.“You’re not Durin’s boss now, are you?”Slap!Harvey slapped him in the face again.“Take a gander.“If you guess correctly, I’ll let you do whatever you want without stopping you.“But if you’re wrong, I guarantee everyone in Durin will know about this.”Harvey casually sat in the backseat after that.Aurelio could only show off online because of a borrowed donation and the
Vroom!While Harvey York pondered the situation, the car was parked in front of a luxurious restaurant.There were similar establishments in Wolsing, where meals cost thousands of dollars. Ordinary people would not even set foot in places like these.And the Gare Pavilion, the building in front, was the best one of them all.The royal chef during the Whip Dynasty had been in charge of the legendary place in Wolsing. Even after being inherited from generation to generation, the taste had not changed even one bit.For many people, having a meal here was a thing to boast about for the rest of their lives.Harvey did not expect Mandy Zimmer to arrange a place like this just to welcome him.That said, he still quickly exited the car.“I got word from the concierge department that Ms. Mandy invited you here, Mr. York!“Prominent figures of Wolsing’s business world will be joining you today!“They’ll be waiting for you in the deluxe room! Please!“Right! Ms. Mandy’s secretary said
The room was about two thousand square feet with a round table in the middle and a ten-piece couch on both sides. It was an elegant sight.Eight fresh-faced people were holding their glasses on the couch when they heard the commotion.Their eyes were blatantly showing disdainful glares when they saw Harvey York’s clothes.All sorts of people resided in a place like Wolsing…But the disparity between people was huge as well.The young people were all prominent figures of the upper social circle, wealthy ladies and young masters.Their status was night and day compared to ordinary people.No random people could just come in contact with the circle, either.The woman at the front door came to her senses before she frowned.“Are you telling me that Mandy sent you?“How did you even enter the building in the first place?’Naturally, the woman knew how the Gare Pavilion operated. People who had clothes like Harvey’s would normally be stopped outside.Harvey could clearly hear the
Liberty pointed at a few people before looking fiercely at Harvey.“In any case…“We’re all people from the upper social circles! We’re all young masters and wealthy ladies!“Mandy is even the head of the Jean family’s ninth branch! She naturally belongs to the circle as well!“Normally speaking, people like us would never even come in contact with people like you. It’s already a huge blessing for you to even be talked down like this.“You should know you’re not worthy to have a goddess like Mandy! Losers like you would never get a chance!“That’s why I’m saying this for Mandy right now.“Since you know the difference between you and us, you should just leave already. Stop pestering Mandy already.”Liberty pulled out a stack of money.“Here’s a thousand and four hundred dollars. Consider this your ticket back to where you belong. No need to pay it back, either. I’m only doing this because I pity you.”Harvey glared coldly at her. Creak!The door was pushed open, and Mandy
"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
