"You… Good! It has been a long time since anyone acted so arrogantly in front of me!" Reggie snarled.He smiled coldly as he inserted his right hand into his pocket under his jacket, searching for something. "Oh, Harvey. Your ignorance and arrogance are shocking. Looks like I don't have to waste my breath with people like you. What I must do right now is kill you!"Reggie pulled out his right hand, and a masterwork firearm appeared in his hand. He unlocked the gun's safety and put the muzzle on Harvey's forehead, a brutal smile on his face. "Come on, why don't you start acting even more arrogantly? I know you're quite strong, but I don't think you can be even more powerful than a gun! Time has changed, Harvey!"All the beautiful women, including Hadlee, looked at Reggie with adulation. Their hands were on their chests. He did what those men from the underworld dared to do! He took out his gun immediately when things went bad so that he could have an absolute advantage!It was i
Reggie could feel the pressure in his chest and a metallic taste in his mouth. He coughed out a mouthful of blood.As Harvey stomped on his chest, Reggie felt like a mountain was right on top of him—he couldn't even resist. Even in a situation like this, he didn't pull the trigger, and was simply shaking. It was obvious he knew the consequences of using firearms in Wolsing.If he was simply trying to scare others with the gun, then "they" would simply gloss over it, letting it slide. If he really did pull the trigger, it was possible that he couldn't handle the consequences.That was why Reggie felt so frustrated at this moment. He didn't dare to pull the trigger, even with the gun in his hand. Meanwhile, Hadlee and the others all looked at Harvey in fear.Reggie was already quite conceited for daring to take out a gun in a place like this. They didn't expect Harvey would completely dominate Reggie again and again.Everything was beyond Reggie's expectations!"My, don't tell me t
At the foot of Fragrant Hill, the same time as Reggie surrendered.Clouds were rolling in the gray skies above. Sometimes, the clouds would make some space and a beam of moonlight would shoot down the earth, sacred and unblemished.About a hundred meters away from the road, several Toyota Land Cruisers had stopped. The door was kicked open, and a bag was thrown on the ground.At the same time, someone from inside the car rolled out a carpet on the ground. One of them even carefully moved out a chair made out of rosewood.After a while, a Toyota Alphard slowly made its way over. When it stopped, the back of the car was directly facing the chair.The back door opened, and a slender figure clad in a striped gray suit got out of the car. He then leaned on the chair. Someone gave him a cigar and lit it up for him.As the light flashed, everyone could see clearly who he was. It was Hector, one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing.After a few huffs and puffs, Hector slowly waved his h
Once Harvey had gotten enough evidence and testimony from Reggie, it was already eight at night. He wasn't in a rush to hunt down Hector, since everything had a time and place. If he immediately showed the evidence to Mandy and her family, it would make him look too intentional.Harvey took Tyson and the others to a barbecue restaurant before heading to the headquarters of Sky Corporation.Because of the fire earlier, Yvonne had found a new office building to be Sky Corporation's new headquarters. Harvey didn't go there for the past few days, but he knew the renovation at the entrance had already been completed. After giving it a thought, he decided to send some of Tyson's men to patrol the headquarters to deal with the security there. With his, he could prevent something like last time from happening again.Sky Corporation's stock prices had been doing well lately, and they managed to hire many well-known and talented people after moving to Wolsing.In just a very short time,
Harvey didn't waste his breath and asked Yvonne immediately, "What's going on down there?""Those are the investors we've convinced to join us for the past few days," Yvonne smiled bitterly. "They're all keeping an eye on us to prevent us from running because we've invested their money in the market for international crude oil.""Originally, according to our staff's estimation, the price for the crude oil will continue to increase. In the short term, we should be able to make a profit of 20%. However, about half an hour ago, someone suddenly started selling a large amount of crude oil in the international market."The price of crude oil collapsed. Those who had just invested millions and even billions in us couldn't stay still anymore. They're all waiting downstairs."However, they've seen a lot in their times, so they won't come up here and start any trouble even if they're worried. But if the market closes later tonight and we're forcibly liquidated, they won't show us any mercy.
"One A-dollar for a barrel? How is that even possible?" Yvonne was taken aback when she heard Harvey's suggested price."It's not impossible. Instead, I'm sure it will reach this price—perhaps even lower. But this price will only appear for a few minutes, perhaps even one. What we need to do is buy all the crude oil in the market in that one minute. At that time, it'll be our turn to decide the price."We'll make the price rise as much as we want because all the crude oil in the market belongs to us," Harvey said with a smile."Turning a disadvantage into an advantage, huh?" Yvonne understood what Harvey was planning after giving it a thought. "Don't worry, I'll execute your plan accordingly."Harvey smiled. That was what he liked about Yvonne. She wouldnn't doubt his judgment, and would act as he wanted until the end.He then sent out a few messages as he chatted. It wouldn't be possible for him to short-sell the crude oil market with Sky Corporation alone.Even the shor-seller
"I'm warning you now. When we first came to invest, Yvonne guaranteed us and staked the Xavier of Wolsing's reputation on this. She said there was no way we could lose our money, and we would make a killing out of this. Otherwise, we wouldn't have invested in this so-called Sky Corporation!" said the middle-aged woman as she glanced at the screen with an almost vertical line. She was literally heaving, barely able to contain her rage."And in the end, you invested all of our money into the futures market for crude oil without our consent. And you said we can earn a 20% profit? But now, we have already lost 60% of our starting capital! I'm telling you right now that no matter how much your company has lost, you will refund all of our capital!"We're not anyone that you can deceive so easily. Also, Ray can't leave. Isn't he the vice CEO of this company? Who are we going to ask for money if he leaves?"Ray frowned and tried to explain, "Mr. Harvey is our corporation's—""Your corporat
"We don't care. We have already invested our money in you. Since you're not listed publicly, you must guarantee profits once you have our money.""That's right. If it isn't because we saw you earn so much the first few times, do you think we would entrust you with our money?" said the middle-aged woman coldly. "If you cannot guarantee a profit nor can you guarantee our capital is safe, we're going to destroy your company and sue you!"Harvey frowned and said, "Since you've come to our company today, you must have signed a contract with us. Then, you should know that it's clearly stated in the contract that no investments can guarantee a profitable return. The only thing that Sky Corporation can do is to do our best and make sure we don't lose our clients' money."When it comes to investment, there are no high returns for safe investments. Investments with high rewards usually have high risks as well. That's the basics of investment. Don't tell me you didn't understand any of this be
Soon, Harvey and Alexei walked into the auction hall discreetly with their heads low.The auction hall was incredibly spacious. It resembled a grand stadium, with individual seats placed all over. In the middle of the stadium was a tall auction platformThere was still some time before the start of the auction, but most of the guests were already there. Everyone nodded toward each other and started chatting. Not only was this an auction, but a lot of people also treated this as a place where they could socialize.Harvey and Alexei had been brought to seats at the corner by the staff. Harvey didn't mind this location. He picked up a tablet in front of him and started to swipe it. The content was mostly about the items up for auction."Hello, everyone! It is good to see all the familiar faces in Grand City's Charity Auction once more," said an old man with a cool expression in traditional garb as he appeared on the platform. His voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear.There w
Harvey frowned. "Isn't that a little too far-fetched? An Oracle Text that can predict the future?"Alexei shook his head. "Don't underestimate the Hierophant, Big bro. Few people throughout history could decipher the Book of Changes so thoroughly. "It was said that there was a prince from some oil-producing country who managed to get an Oracle Text that showed the word Chaos."It was predicting that his country would fall into chaos. That prince made early preparations. Half a year later, that country fell into chaos, but the prince managed to prepare for it and suppressed the chaos. He even gained a lot of benefits from it. "After that, the Hierophant's Oracle Text became extremely popular!"Alexei spoke as if he were explaining to Harvey some ancient secrets. He glanced around sneakily, like he was worried that someone would hear him gossiping about the Hierophant.After Harvey heard it, he became curious. "Looks like this Hierophant really has something unique about him. No
Around ten in the evening, Alexei took Harvey to the Grand City's Charitable Auction. The auction was organized by the priesthood. Every time they had an auction, they would invite the socialites to attend.To the socialites, the mysterious Grand City would only show a little bit of itself around this time. In this auction, everyone used H dollars. Of course, there were times when bartering was possible, with the preface that both sides found the trade agreeable.Harvey had also learned about the details of the auction before coming. The mayor was at the top of the social hierarchy, followed by the Seven Families. However, because Wenzel had been missing for all these years, the Hierophant had been leading the Seven Families. That was why the Priesthood's social standing was far higher than before, despite being just a non-essential body in the past.For example, the one who chaired this auction this evening was the so-called Priestess. Harvey had heard plenty of rumors about
"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
