The land department spent three months trying to get the deal, but now, the contract was sent straight to the government without any effort.At this point, Kairi’s authority was completely solidified. The position of second-in-command was hers without question.After dealing with the relocation project and Chanse…Kairi was officially working.The departments she was in charge of were finally reporting to her. She was getting into the groove of her work, too.Harvey had no intention of getting involved; he was only sipping tea in the guest room.He stood up, ready to leave when he was finally done with his tea. He was excited to see just how Damon’s inauguration ceremony was going to go.The man had been suffering losses constantly.The John family wouldn’t just take all the humiliation without fighting back, either.-At dusk, Harvey decided to call a cab back to the Fortune Hall after seeing Kairi still working.As soon as he got out of the car, a figure came out of the sh
“What the? What happened?”Castiel, Leona, and the others ran out after hearing about the news. Everyone became angry after they understood the situation.“You’re talking about that woman, Sir York?!” Castiel exclaimed, gritting his teeth.“She begged me to help… And yet, she lied about every single thing that I asked! I didn’t think that she’d come back to cause you trouble! I’ll deal with her the next time I see her!”Castiel was clearly unhappy about Aleah.“It’s just a small problem. No need to get upset. We meet all sorts of odd people during work, anyway,” Harvey said.He waved his hand, signaling Castiel to calm down.“Is the woman special or something?” he asked curiously.Castiel scoffed.“It’s not that! It’s just completely unbelievable! Take a look here!Castiel stumbled inside before coming back out with a piece of red paper.“The Unbroken War… She’s only fifteen? She looks a lot older than that,” Harvey said. Castiel shook his head.“You’re mistaken, Sir York
At the same time…In the John family’s courtyard.Blaine crossed his arms. He stood on the terrace while looking at the pond in front of him. A fishing line and bait were next to him, but he wasn’t interested in fishing at all.Several security guards were standing behind him. They could tell that Blaine was in a bad mood, so they decided to keep their mouths shut.After a long while, Blaine’s eyes moved slightly. He sat in his chair.“You’re back, Your Holiness?” he said, smiling.“Yes.”Almost at the same time, a woman appeared on the terrace. She put her umbrella to the side before casually sitting beside Blaine, and gulped her wine down.She then licked her lips, as if she didn’t have enough.“You’ve met Harvey, didn’t you? What do you think?” Blaine sipped his tea before finally speaking up. At the same time, he lit up a scented candle. He narrowed his eyes while enjoying the fragrance.“I did,” Aleah replied. “I have to admit, he is quite the talented man. Not only is
Blaine’s eyes flashed with a fiery glint. Then, he smiled. “I’ve had people promise me things that they never intended to fulfill, Your Holiness.“But this is the first time someone’s promised me something this big. Do you really think I’d need a woman by my side when I rise to power?”After that, Blaine changed the subject. “Let’s talk business. In your opinion, what are the chances of Harvey compiling the maps?”“Big, if not definitely,” Aleah replied.“No elite would ever want to die.“The young master of Longmen, the prince of South Light, and the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance…“Every single one of these identities is no less powerful. Every single one of the identities represents endless glory and riches.“Can a man like that even resist such temptation? Even if he can, surely he’d still be curious about this…“Let’s wait. It doesn’t matter if he wants to work with us or not. People of his caliber would always want to see how the so-called everla
Two days later.Harvey went to the people’s hospital.According to the deal, he was going to deal with Westley’s problem after Kairi’s position was solidified.After arriving at the sick room, Harvey could see the entire place had been completely redecorated. Not only was there a massive TV, but there was also a leather couch and a marble coffee table. All sorts of dishes were placed on it. Meanwhile, two beautiful women in bunny suits were massaging Westley’s legs.He lazily raised his head, smiling, when he saw Harvey show up.“You really are particular about something like this, Sir York! You came exactly after a week! Not a minute too soon!”Harvey looked at the women with a faint smile.“I know you’re in good shape, and that you love your drugs…“But I should warn you. If you ignore my warnings and continue playing with women… Then you’d have to stay this way for the rest of your life.”Westley chuckled.“Of course I didn’t ignore you!“I’ve been wanting to go all out
Westley’s eyes twitched after seeing the string of nines.After all, the numbers were way bigger than what he could take out. Or rather, he’d be broke even if he could bring that amount.There were ninety-nine checks in the book.He suddenly felt like passing out.Harvey smiled disdainfully after seeing the horrible look on Westley’s face.“You’re giving up?” he said, picking up the checkbook to tap it on Westley’s face.“Are you trying to test me? Maybe Emery might have the right to do that… But not you!”“Right. Get everyone else out of here. We’ll go our separate ways after I deal with your problem. If you come for me the next time… Then I’ll make sure you suffer a horrible death!”Westley’s gaze kept darting around. Then, he chuckled.“You’re right. Since you’re dealing with the side effects for me…“I’ll owe you a favor from now on.“If I even go against you again, I’ll slam my head to the ground till I die. You don’t need to move even a finger.”“Is that so?” Harvey s
Westley’s eyes twitched after hearing Harvey’s words.Even if Westley decided to cause trouble in the future, it wouldn’t affect Harvey at all. Thus, Harvey had no intention of putting any sort of restrictions.Westley was a little unhappy to know that. But since he still had other things to do, he took a deep breath before speaking up again.“Let me ask you something, Sir York. Are you interested in expanding in Wolsing?”“What if I do? What if I don’t?” Harvey asked. “If you do, Young Master Emery said he’d prepare you a gift.“If you go, you’ll become the government’s consultant there. Maybe you’d even rise as the country’s imperial preceptor!“And if you make Wolsing the main branch of your businesses… Young Master Emery’s willing to give you two years of tax exemption.”Harvey chuckled. “Two years of tax exemption and the position of the country’s imperial preceptor? Tempting! What would the price of that be?”Westley smiled.“Simple! Be a guest in Young Master Emery’s
Harvey squinted, staring at the man for a moment. “I don’t think I know you.”“Of course you don’t. But I know you.”The man smiled.“Let me introduce myself. I am Shepard, of Evermore’s twelfth branch.”He then gave Harvey a name card.“Here’s my card. Please take it.”Harvey stared at the card, seeing all sorts of well-known titles in the medical world.It was clear that this man was well-versed in the medical field. It was only normal that someone like him was involved with Evermore.“Aleah sent you here?” Harvey asked. “If that’s the case, I can tell you that there won’t be a map, nor there will be a map in the future. Even if there is, I won’t give it to you anyway. Give up already.”“Heh! Her Holiness threatened you for it?”Shepard looked at Harvey politely.“Looks like she’s just asking to die at this point!“How dare she do something like this to a prominent figure like you in my territory?“This is quite vexing indeed…”Harvey frowned. “Your territory?”Shepard
