“You want me to leave now?” asked Harvey York.“What do you mean?“I don’t understand…”“Keep pretending then!Veda Blake’s face instantly darkened.“Keep playing dumb!“I brought you here because Xynthia’s reserved and wouldn’t attend such gatherings!“You’re just a sorry excuse to get her here! Understand?!”Harvey smiled.“Since you figured out that much, what’s going to happen if she decides to leave with me after that?”“Heh heh!“Do you think you’re actually impressive?“Do you think we haven’t done anything? We already have you all figured out half an hour ago!“You’re Xynthia’s live-in brother-in-law, aren’t you?“Now that you’re kicked out of the family, you’re still clinging to Xynthia for food!“Xynthia’s been fooled by your ordinary looks for the longest time! When she meets Young Master Rayan and Young Master Kylan, she’ll realize you’re nothing to her!”“You’re here telling me all this when you didn’t even do a thorough investigation?“Aren’t you scared o
Xynthia Zimmer smiled brightly at Harvey York before heading inside while locking hands.The clubhouse was remodeled from an antique courtyard.The place was neatly decorated despite not having a roof. Anyone walking inside would feel as if they had gone back in time.No ordinary person would be able to experience such a luxurious sight.For many people, having a single meal here would be enough to brag for the rest of their lives.A dozen people were surrounding a couch in the middle of the courtyard.All of those people were extremely handsome and beautiful. It was clear they were all prominent figures from the upper social circle.Cason Lee was sitting on the side with his round belly protruding from his shirt.The young people before him were the protagonists at this very moment.They had been waiting for Xynthia and the others for the longest time. They quickly shifted their gazes as soon as they heard footsteps behind them.Their eyes instantly lit up after that.A god
“I heard you’re from the Jean family’s ninth branch, Ms. Xynthia! “I’m from the Hunt family! Judging from this, we must be closer than we thought!”Kylan Hunt squinted with a bright smile.He pointed out his immense identity and emphasized the massive difference between their statuses.He was planning to conquer Xynthia Zimmer both in body and soul.His eyes lit up when he smiled. Even his breathing started to feel a lot heavier then.If this were any other occasion, he would have already forced himself onto Xynthia.He was pretty content with Cason Lee’s gift.“Young Master Kylan.”Xynthia lightly nodded without extending her hand before quietly pushing Harvey York forward with a smile.“I heard that you were the one who picked the role for me, Young Master Kylan.“To show thanks for your acknowledgment, I brought my boyfriend, Harvey, here to thank you as well.”Xynthia clearly knew what Kylan was planning. She never attended a gathering because she wanted to prevent the
The beautiful women disdainfully glared at Harvey York.Naturally, all of them believed Harvey would be lowering their standards if he were to sit with them during their meal. That would be simply embarrassing.“I see. You’re an impressive kept man, alright…”Kylan Hunt realized something before he looked at Harvey with disgust.“As her future husband, there’s something I should be telling you!“People like you shouldn’t stick your head out where it shouldn’t be!“If not, you might just cause your own demise when you get into trouble!”Then, Kylan glanced at Veda Blake.“Honestly, Veda.“How could you get him here in the first place?“Who will take responsibility if he decides to wail on a future star after having too many drinks?”Veda lightly chuckled.“I already gave him money for his family bucket…“But, what else can I do if he doesn’t know what’s good for himself?“Maybe you should give him some more money instead.“He’d probably be satisfied with something more ex
The people here weren’t idiots; they knew Xynthia probably brought Harvey here to act as her shield.However, they didn’t know that the shield could fight back!He was bold enough to even kiss the corner of Xynthia’s lips!Kylan was so angry, he was about to pass out; he had never held Xynthia’s hands, after all!Xynthia’s face was bright red; she didn’t think that her brother-in-law would do something like that either.But thinking back, she figured she wouldn’t have a chance if Harvey didn’t like her mother!She seemed a little down after remembering how Lilian would usually act. With Lilian around, Xynthia probably wouldn’t be able to be with Harvey anyway.While Xynthia hesitated, Harvey had already wrapped his arm around her thin waist and looked forward.“Now you believe that I’m her boyfriend?“In reality, I only divorced my wife because I was into her.“If you feel like you need more proof, you can just ask!“This was supposed to be our little secret, though…”Harve
Kylan’s expression turned severe as he spoke up again.“You’re from the Xavier family, Young Master Rayan. You have an immense identity and a high status…“But you shouldn’t offend Sir York here like that! He might just make your entire family kneel after this! What are you going to do after that?”Rayan seemed completely horrified. “You’re right! Sir York, please don’t mind me! I’ll treat you with respect! Don’t make me kneel!”The crowd burst out laughing.Anyone could tell that Kylan and Rayan were treating Harvey like a joke.The beautiful women were looking at Harvey with disdain, thinking he should’ve just died as a man rather than being this shameless.“Oh, Sir York! You must be quite the impressive man for the prominent figures of the Hunt family to bow to you!”Kylan waved his watch around, his gaze bright, planning to completely expose Harvey.“Let me guess who you are, then!“I heard the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group is about to retire! Someone with th
Before Harvey could say anything, Kylan seized the opportunity and continued his speech.“I didn’t just guess it, Sir York!“You’re like a firefly in the night sky—an impressive man like you would stand out no matter where you go!“How about this? Would it be fine for you to give me your address?“I’ll take my family to kneel in front of your house tomorrow! How does that sound?”Kylan even glanced behind him before showing a furious gaze.“Come! What are you people doing?! Greet Sir York already!“He’s the king of the country’s business world, you know? His pocket change can feed every single one of us for the rest of our lives!“Come! Come! All hail Sir York!”Kylan waved his hand to bring the crowd along, faking their respect towards Harvey. At the end of the day, they only planned to crush Harvey under their feet.The beautiful women couldn’t help but shake their heads at the sight.‘He’s such a handsome man, but he’s this useless? How can there someone be this ignorant?
The people who were stunned by Harvey’s phone call snapped out of their confusion.They were instantly infuriated after that.‘That’s right! How can a mere live-in husband be the chairman of the organization? He’s a shameless kept man at that!’“Tch! You’re not even wearing clothes that cost fifteen dollars in total, but you call yourself the chairman?“You probably spent money for someone to help you show off, didn’t you? How are you so vain?“Even if Young Master Kylan didn’t joke about you, you probably would’ve shown off your phone call regardless!“You’re embarrassing Xynthia here!“Take a look in a mirror before doing something like this, you moron!”“You guys see that? He’s wearing a Rolex! He probably bought it at some rundown subway station in Buckwood!”“You think you’re actually impressive? Young Master Kylan’s just toying with you!”Kylan and the others were clearly enraged. Harvey’s constant disrespect, along with the horrible beeping, was completely unbearable.
"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
