The faces of the long-haired woman and Rita, who had just picked up their forks and were going to have a slice of the fresh Salmon, grew pale. It was obvious that whether Harvey was being intentional or not, it was enough to disgust them.Before they could say anything, the waitress next to Harvey frowned and said, "Sir, the South Ocean Restaurant uses the freshest ingredients. I will have security to ask you to leave for interrupting our business by throwing wild accusations.""That's right!" Rita let out a cold smile when she heard what the waitress had to say. "Do you know who owns this place? It's the Wrights of Wolsing, the leader of the top ten families! While their goods are always known to be pricey, they're all worth it. You must have a death wish to start a ruckus in their territory. You better not tell them you know us when they settle the score with you later!""It's fine. I'm not interested in knowing any of you either way," Harvey said calmly. "The only reason I'm he
When Rita heard what Harvey had to say, her expression darkened and she yelled, "Harvey, can you please stop making things up? I've already given you the note, so can you please give up? What do you want if you keep on yapping?!"Harvey gave Rita a look. "Since you're willing to be here today, I believe you care about her. That's why I want you to tell me the truth. No matter what kind of trouble she's in, I can help her. However, you have to tell me everything."Rita rolled her eyes, her disdain evident. "I'll thank you on Yvonne's behalf, but there's no need to."She was smiling coldly when she said that. The person Yvonne would be marrying was someone very important from the Island Nation. What could a loser like Harvey do before someone so important? It didn't matter if Yvonne was willing to marry this important person. It was something the Xaviers of Wolsing had to do.And this loser from Buckwood wanted to interfere with their family matter? He had to be joking. No matter how
The long-haired woman looked at Harvey disdainfully, as if she had figured out the truth. "That was why you did everything possible to get into the Jean of Mordu. When you realize you can't, you think the Xaviers aren't half bad, too.""Unfortunately, you didn't know just how useless you are. You didn't understand one thing. But sometimes, the more you want things to change, the more it'll stay the same. All of this is but a fool's errand. There are things that you're born with, and if you don't have it, you're already hopeless in your life. So, you should just give up now. Forget about dealing with Yvonne. You can't even deal with your coming problem with South Ocean Restaurant. And your luck is so bad, too, since someone from the Wright family is just around!" The long-haired woman smirked derisively.Not far away, an old man wearing a suit who looked like a manager quickly walked over. From the looks of it, he had been doing this for a long time. Rita also noticed the old man and
The Wright of Wolsing had many daughters, but only one person was bestowed the nickname princess, and that was Sienna—the woman who could stand against Emery Wright within the Wright family. In many people's understanding, when she finally ascended, she would become the queen of the Wright family. It was not an exaggeration to say that she had the highest prestige among all the young ladies within Wolsing.But someone like Sienna was waiting for a country bumpkin like Harvey in Room Number One?How… How was that even possible?Rita narrowed her eyes, her voice slightly shaking. "Mr. Braff… Did you get the wrong person? He's just a country bumpkin from the south. How can he have the right to have breakfast with Princess Wright?"Mr. Braff glanced at Rita and replied coldly, "What? Should our princess ask for your permission before deciding who to have breakfast with? Who do you think you are to meddle in the Wright family's affairs?""I…" The corner of Rita's eye twitched. She knew
Room Number One, Southern Ocean Restaurant.The room was not huge, only about 540 square feet. It was furnished with classic wooden furniture. They looked ordinary, but one could see the passing of time on them. Other than that, different kinds of breakfast items were already being served on the table.Cornbread, collard greens, buttermilk biscuits, bacon-studded scrambled eggs…While they were not haute cuisine, they made the entire room look alive.Sienna was sitting on one side of the table, wearing gold-framed glasses and looking at the information on her tablet. She had not been awake for long; the sleepiness in her eyes remained. She also did not put on any makeup.But even then, she was still just as beautiful.Harvey glanced at such a beautiful woman, simply pulled the chair, and sat down without any thoughts. "It has been a long while since we met at Flutwell, princess…""Indeed. But you're the one who didn't want to see me, Harvey…" Sienna said as she removed her glass
Harvey briefly narrowed his eyes before taking a deep breath. "Do you know when's the wedding?"Sienna looked at Harvey and said, "The day before the night of the full moon, one day before your duel with Shinto Way. That day is the day when Shingen and Yvonne would get married. If I'm correct, Shingen will take Yvonne to spectate your duel after their wedding! Then, before your duel, Shingen will announce his wedding with Yvonne to you. In other ways, Shingen will use Yvonne to affect you mentally."Harvey closed his eyes. After a long time, he asked, "Was this planned by the Xavier family? Or the Shinto Way?"There was not much change in Sienna's expression, and she passed the tablet in her hand to Harvey. "Based on my intel, it's most likely a coincidence. Firstly, the Xaviers and the Shinto Way already had some business exchanges early this year. Both sides worked well with each other."Secondly, the Shinto Way had already requested a political marriage quite some time ago, but
About half an hour later, Harvey reached the front of the ICU of Wolsing Grand Hospital.Other than Wilhelm's students and family members, dozens of people looked like they had held power for a long time. They were all from Dragon Palace.No matter how awkward Wilhelm's position was, he was still a member of Dragon Palace. Dragon Palace had to seek an explanation on his behalf if anything were to happen to him.Charlotte was among the crowd.However, she was standing at the sideline and obviously was not part of the same clique. Her eyes were fixed at the entrance. It was apparent that she was waiting for Harvey.When she finally saw Harvey, Charlotte quickly walked over and whispered, "You're finally here, sir."Harvey nodded. "How's the situation?"While he had no interest in a traitor, Wilhelm died the second day after they had just gotten into a scuffle at the Songstress's Stage the day before.Harvey had no choice but to take a personal look at this.Because if he did not
Harvey had a basic understanding of the situation from the photo. Then, he looked at Wilhelm's right hand. "Do you notice that? Wilhelm is completely not on his guard. Not even subconsciously. The person who did this was far more powerful than we think. Even if it was someone Wilhelm was familiar with, he was most definitely a powerful elite.""Definitely," Charlotte nodded. "But, I have another concern. Other than his speed, if this really were caused by the Island Nation's Zephyr Slash, the wound wouldn't be this shallow."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "There is truth in falsehood, and falsehood in truth. Normally speaking, if one wants to fake it, one would use the closest way to do it. But this wound … It feels like it's deliberately revealing a flaw that will surely be noticed. It's so deliberate that it's so conspicuous. That's why, if we approach this from this angle, I have a thought…"Charlotte was confused.Harvey continued, "The one who attacked is someone from the Island N
"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
