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
Blaine John’s eyes twitched and looked horrible after seeing Harvey York and Kairi Patel’s backs.He thought he had been too respectful toward Harvey.‘Isn’t he scared of me going all out against him in a fit of rage?’The people beside Blaine looked at each other without saying a word. They realized that they knew nothing about the situation.After a while, Blaine heaved a long sigh to compose himself. Then, he dismissed his people before pulling out a dumbphone.The cold voice of a woman echoed when he dialed the only number inside.“What is it, Blaine?”Blaine smiled.“I have something to inform you, Your Holiness.“There’s a possibility of the map resurfacing.“A man named Harvey has gathered the six Hermit Families.“Operation Stormfield is a go.”-Harvey did not know what Blaine was planning, nor did he care.If he did, he would probably be pleasantly surprised.After all, he came to Golden Sands to deal with Evermore…But there had been no news about the organiz
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
A man in a silk suit and a badge labeled “Land Department” was showing Harvey York a deathly glare.It was as if Harvey’s existence was affecting his promotion and stealing his favorite item.Harvey could not care less about the odd gazes when he looked around him and smiled.“Hello, everyone. We’re all colleagues from now on.“We naturally don’t have much experience since we only recently took position.“I do hope that you’ll all support Madam Kairi.”“Heh! You realize that you’re inexperienced?The director of the land department glared at Harvey disdainfully.“I know that you appointed fifty men to work here, Madam Kairi…“But the government isn’t playing games here.“I have no opinion if you’re appointing just a few men…“But why would you put a kept man like him in such an important position?“Do you think we’re playing games here?“The position has no actual power, but it represents the government’s image!“On special occasions, he can even assume the duty of both t
Kairi Patel looked into Chanse Foster’s eyes.“I already made a mistake right when I took position?“Maybe you should enlighten me as to what I did wrong.”Chanse gave a cold chuckle.“You don’t even know what’s been happening in the government…“And yet you still dare take the position as the second-in-command? How shameless can you get?“Looks like you won’t be here for long after all…Chanse let out another chuckle.“A few days ago, the reconstruction of the old town’s been mostly handled.“Our designated consultant managed to convince many residents to move.“With these people, not only will we complete the reconstruction without much effort…“We wouldn’t have to spend too much on the relocation either!“They trust Mr. Trevor Foster, the man who discussed about relocation with them!“Reconstruction of the old town and land relocation is the government’s most extensive project this year!“This is also one of the tasks appointed to us by the royal court!“If we don’t c
At this moment, many higher-ups were squinting at Kairi Patel.They wanted to see how the new second-in-command would handle such an accusation.Kairi was also in charge of the land department. If she could not deal with one of her own departments…She would be reduced to being a mere figurehead.Kairi frowned. She had no time to deal with this in just a single day.She could not ascertain whether Chanse Foster was speaking the truth.Chanse casually sipped his tea before smiling faintly.“Let’s cut to the chase, Madam Kairi.“Why don’t we stop the meeting here?“Come with me to the land department to hold a staff meeting.“On one hand, I’m sure everyone would like to meet you.“On the other hand, you’d need to apologize to everyone as well.“After all, their efforts are all for nothing because of your sudden rise to power.“As the second-in-command, it wouldn’t be hard for you to make a simple apology, right?”The deputy and the small leaders of the land department in th
Harvey York’s drastic measures completely caught everyone off guard.Not just the ordinary workers…Even Kairi Patel and Chanse Foster froze as well.They did not expect Harvey to make those remarks.The consultant had such special privileges, but it could only be used once yearly.That said, if Harvey actually did what he claimed, the entire land department would have to be changed from the inside out.After the initial shock, Chanse calmed down before glaring coldly, huffing his cigar.“You want to fire all of us? Do you think you even have the right to do so?“Do you know that these people also belong to families of government officials?“You won’t leave his place alive if you even attempt this!“Not just me, even Madam Kairi won’t be able to protect you after that!“Make sure you think twice before you speak, young man.”Slap!Harvey stood up before approaching Chanse and slapping him in the face.He did not hold back at all.Along with the loud slap, Chanse screamed
Chanse Foster instinctively shivered after feeling the warmth in Harvey York’s palm.“This won’t end like this!” exclaimed Chanse, gritting his teeth.“You’re disrespecting me, the director of the land department!“You’re disrespecting your superior!”“Oh? So you do know what that means?”Harvey did not hold back when he continuously slapped Chanse around again.“If you’re not that stupid, you should be able to recall that my words are the same as Madam Kairi’s.“Since I’m the consultant, I can also exercise my special privilege!“So what if I fire a bunch of useless fools?“Even if the royal court has to get involved, I’d still be justified!“You’re just a mere director. How dare you talk big before me and Madam Kairi?“Who gave you the nerve?“Hmmm?!Harvey showed a righteous look.“Did you forget what you swore before you took your job?“You’re supposed to do your job correctly after taking all these benefits!“You’re only given this much just for you to do your damn
