Harvey smiled and said to Prince, "It's fine. They're not that impressive."Prince looked at Harvey's calm expression and remembered how Harvey became the leader of his own school.The previous leader of the Heaven's Gate had been completely humiliated by Harvey. No matter how strong the so-called four kings of the alliance are, they couldn't be more powerful than the previous leader of the Heaven's Gate, could they?However, Prince still retrieved the document and pushed it toward Harvey. It was better to be more careful, after all. "Prudence is the better part of valor. While the four kings aren't well-known, they are all quite capable. They have no reason to fight you in the past, but now that they can do it in a legal capacity, they will use everything they have."Especially when they can replace you by defeating you. They can lose, but you can't. Your status in the alliance will become firm after this battle between the two countries. Then, everyone would have to listen to y
"Jesse?" Harvey frowned. However, he seemed to have realized something and asked, "Where's Yvonne?""Please stop looking for her, Harvey," Jesse said, as if hesitating on how to explain it to Harvey. "She's one of our us, so she can't follow a man and keep on being his secretary. Even if she doesn't mind it, our family does. Not to mention, she already has a fiancé thanks to our family head's arrangement. She'll be marrying soon."Please don't disturb her ever again. Our family head promises that if you won't disturb Yvonne anymore, you'll be a friend of the Xaviers of Wolsing forever.""What if I'm determined to see her?" Harvey's expression darkened."Then… Please don't get upset when we treat you as an enemy," Jesse said as he raised his hand. Harvey could sense murderous intent coming from behind the doors and windows, up on the roof and trees as well as other locations, while still being physically hidden.Jesse removed his gold-framed glasses and wiped them using a handker
Islanders? Niece? Marriage?Harvey, who was looking at everything that was happening from the side, formed an outlandish conjecture. He looked at Nashon in disbelief and asked with a frown, "Mr. Nashon, I'm Harvey York. I would like to ask if your niece is…"The moment Harvey started speaking, he grabbed the attention of both Nashon and the man called Mr. Tokugawa. The instant Nashon saw Harvey, the displeasure on his expression grew apparent. He simply narrowed his eyes and gave Harvey a meaningful look without saying anything. Meanwhile, there seemed to be a vicious look in Mr. Tokugawa's eyes.Before both sides could say anything, Harvey's eyebrows furrowed. He instinctively looked behind him—the atmosphere seemed to have dropped a couple of degrees when he wasn't paying full attention just now.Suddenly, many people appeared, their faces cold and the brutality in their eyes abundantly clear. Harvey wasn't sure if they jumped at this chance, or if they were already well-prepar
After the commotion ended, nobody knew what Nashon was thinking. He signaled Jesse to invite Harvey into the residence. Mr. Tokugawa had also recovered his composure during this time. He gave Harvey a meaningful look and nodded before walking into the residence with the protection of the Xavier family's bodyguard.Once they were inside the residence, Harvey couldn't see Nashon immediately. Instead, he was led to a sitting room.A maid prepared a pot of coffee for him before quickly leaving. No one came to check on him in the next half an hour.Harvey didn't mind; he simply enjoyed the coffee and played with his phone. He acted like he was treating this as his home.After about forty minutes had passed, the door to the sitting room was pushed open. Harvey saw Nashon, who had changed into a traditional garb, entering. He nodded at Harvey before sitting down at the opposite and looking at Harvey with interest.Harvey wasn't going to underestimate the leader of the Xaviers; simila
Harvey frowned slightly and asked Nashon, "What do you mean?"Nashon smiled again."When you have a powerful identity, it often means you have the duty to protect the benefit of that specific group. Let me make an example. As the scion of the Longmen Association, it means you have to protect the benefits of the association."But sometimes, there's going to be a conflict of interest between the Longmen Association and the Martial Arts Association. How are you going to solve this perfectly when this happens? No matter how you decide, you will inadvertently take a side."It's fine if you can pick the same side all the time, but it's going to be bad if you sometimes side with the Longmen Association, and then sometimes side with the Martial Arts Association. Do it long enough, and not only will the people from those factions not be grateful to you, they'll even grow to resent you."That's the biggest trouble you're going to face currently. Once the conflicts become unavoidable, have y
Based on Nashon's words and attitude, it was clear that he had been paying attention to Harvey all this while. He managed to notice how Harvey did things. Harvey was someone who was willing to sacrifice his benefits for things like honor and justice.Someone like him was precious to a country and the ruling body. However, he was not a good husband to any woman. The reason was that she might get killed because of the man and even drag the family she was from down with her.Most importantly, Harvey was associated with too many factions. The Longmen Association, Country H Martial Arts Alliance, The Yorks of HL Casino, Country H Commercial Group… If anything happened to any of the factions, it would be enough to be lethal to those closest to him.The Xaviers could not afford the risk.To the Xaviers, they would not allow Harvey and Yvonne to meet each other again unless Harvey gained a new understanding and found a balance between being just and protecting one's benefits.Half an hour
After Harvey left the Xavier residence, he returned to his own estate, which he was staying in. Then, he sat in the courtyard, dazed.Nashon's words left quite an impact on him.A lot of things he initially did, he did it from the perspective of justice.However, after being prompted by Nashon, he realized he paid too little attention to those closest to him.Or perhaps he should say he did not really care about the people closest to him other than Mandy. He treated them all well and would give it his all whenever they were in danger, but the fact remained. To a woman's parents, they would never see him as someone worth dedicating her life to.Other than someone like Lilian, who loved him for the money, it was also something that Lilian herself had noticed.As for Yvonne, he simply felt that she would stick with him naturally. When he needed her, she would give it her all. But in the end, she was not an object but a living, breathing human being. She was not someone he could just
The Islander woman who seemed like a princess looked at the estate with judging eyes, as if this place was not worthy of her presence.However, she still controlled the disdain she felt in her heart and sauntered forward.Following behind her was an old woman that looked like a desiccated corpse. The difference between these two women was like night and day.Tyson had wanted to stand up to say something when they all saw the woman enter without permission, but Harvey signaled him to stop. Only then did he turn and look at the visitor. "This is a private estate and we do not welcome Islanders here. I don't care who you are. It's not too late to leave this instance."Harvey had little patience for the Islanders. Harvey had simply asked her to leave because she was a woman, and that was already respectful enough."You're that man… Harvey York, right? The representative who the Country H Martial Arts Association refused to acknowledge?"The prideful woman completely ignored Harvey's
"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
