“What is it?” Kairi frowned.“Evermore has always been interested in the way of everlasting life of the six Hermit Families,” Harvey replied.“And now, the Braff family has left Golden Sands.“The John family is destined to rise to power as well.“Under such circumstances, do you think Blaine will expose himself completely? Evermore will definitely support the John family’s rise, after all.“With this many benefits, they’d have to give up something too, right?”Kairi frowned again. She knew the situation would be a lot of trouble.The John family had authority, and Evermore was equipped with firearms and manpower.If Blaine didn’t care about his reputation anymore, it’d be awful. He might decide to take action without holding back.“Of course, this might still be salvageable,” Harvey said.“If the six Hermit Families did something out of the ordinary—if the families gave their secrets to the Braff family as a present for the Big Boss… How do you think the situation would prog

Inside the ICU of the Golden Sands People Hospital, Westley Wright was boiling with anger while lying on the bed.“Bastard!“That bastard!“He thinks he can act so cocky just because he’s skilled?!“He’s taking advantage of me!”His addiction was taking effect, but he still refused to inject himself with any more drugs. His entire body was in withdrawal when he felt a horrible itch.“This bastard should’ve died!“He turned down such a good deal…“And now he demands us to give up the position of the government’s second-in-command and half of its important positions?!“Kairi and the others must be behind all this…“If not, a country bumpkin like Harvey couldn’t come up with something like this!“This is ridiculous!“Young Master John! You need to help me!“Get Kairi back here! I’ll show her what I can do!“Get your family to deal with Harvey too!“If your family can’t, I’ll also ask Young Master Emery to help!“I don’t care if I live like this for the rest of my life!“B

“Are you begging me right now?”Harvey York smiled at Blaine John.Blaine’s eyes twitched before smiling back.“That’s right. That’s exactly what I’m doing.”“Good boy.Harvey patted Blaine’s face.The simple move was enough for the shadows around them to start moving. A few fierce men in suits stepped forward with firearms in hand, but Blaine waved his hand to stop them.“You’ve got a keen eye.Harvey patted Blaine’s face a little harder.“I knew that you’re an impressive man.“It’s not the first time that you’ve been this tolerant! Impressive!”Harvey raised his thumb.Kairi Patel rolled her eyes.Harvey was the only one who would dare disrespect Blaine in public, after all!“Let’s save Westley then.”Then, Harvey walked to the ICU.Five minutes later, Harvey put his fingers on Westley’s wrist before smiling faintly.“He’s already in a bad state. The lymph in his brain’s almost about to burst…“And yet you still gave him another injection.“Now that his cerebellum

Harvey York explained his technique while poking the needles in Westley Wright’s body. When he finally poked a needle in between Westley’s brows, Kairi Patel was shocked to find out that dark blood flowed out of his orifices.The blood had an extremely foul stench with an unspeakable malicious aura.Harvey frowned before he quickly grabbed a test tube to collect the liquid.The room door opened not long after. Blaine John instinctively came in after constantly pacing around outside.“How is it, Sir York?”“The lymph’s out of Westley’s brain,” replied Harvey.“He won’t die if he isn’t stupid enough to inject himself with the drug again.“He’ll be fully awake after an hour’s sleep.“That said, you need to remind him to eat a light diet and refrain from doing anything intimate for the next seven days.“It’d be better if he decides to seclude himself entirely.”Blaine smiled when he waved his hand for a few doctors of the John family to check up on Westley. Naturally, he did not

According to the rules, Kairi Patel would oversee the government’s finances, real estate, and other daily affairs.To prevent Harvey York from accusing the John family of turning Kairi into a figurehead…Damon John decided to give Kairi authority despite his reluctance.Of course, Kairi knew that without any power over the other personnel, the first-in-commands of each department probably would not submit to her either.Yet Kairi did not feel insecure or sad about the situation. Rather, she was filled with excitement about what would happen next.At nine o’clock in the morning, inside the government’s multi-functional meeting room.The first-in-commands and directors of each department were gathered.Many gazes shifted when they saw Kairi in a proper business dress, bare-faced, along with Harvey beside her.Harvey casually glanced around before sensing the derisive gazes.It was only natural.Kairi’s rise was completely sudden. Because of her, many people’s opportunities to r
