Category: Harvey York’s Rise to Power

Chapter 4811

Chapter 4811

“Not only are they strong and ruthless, but they’re all Kshatriyas of India as well!

“Not a lot of people here has the guts to lay a finger on people like them.

“After all, it’d cause an international dispute!”

Nameless was proud.

Vaughn was shocked by what he heard.

“How unexpected! I didn’t think Mr. Faceless could get such people here.

“Other than the John family, nobody else can suppress the Rakshasa Monks!

“Kshatriyas could trample on so many people!”

Nameless felt proud after hearing such praise.

“Aside from that, I contacted the Abito Way as well. The outer elder was furious after hearing that his outstanding disciple was killed by such a despicable man.

“Three experts of the Abito Way are on their way here after the outer elder told them to seek justice!”

“Evermore, the Abito Way, and the Celestial Temple’s Rakshasa Monks…

“With all of these people, Harvey and Julian are as good as dead.

“Not just them, but I’ll trample the Patel family and the Hermit Families to the ground too!

“Promises? Rules? They’re nothing in front of true power!”

Nameless was smug, as if everything he said was deserving of praise.

“Interesting! How interesting!”

Vaughn clapped.

“You really are an interesting man! What power!

“I was worried you wouldn’t be able to deal with the situation at first.

“But it looks like you’d be able to reign in the city before long!”

Those in the top-rated circle like Blaine and Vaughn naturally looked down on someone like Nameless.

But since Nameless was planning to squash all of the John family’s obstacles, it was only natural to keep a pawn like him around.

Under such circumstances, so what if Vaughn tried to butter up Nameless?

He couldn’t work Nameless to death without enticing him somehow.

Nameless’s gaze was filled with pride.

“Hopefully everything goes well this time.

“Also, I’d like you to tell Young Master John something.

“Heaven’s Gate has announced that we aren’t allowed to cause any more trouble.

“Reason isn’t on our side this time.

“To prevent ignorant people stopping us from doing our job, I think Young Master John should block out all information coming to and out of Golden Sands.

“When everything’s said and done, I’m sure nobody will speak up for the dead. Right?”

“Of course, I’m sure the city will be his during the day. Still, I’ll share some of it with him during the night. How does that sound?”

Vaughn smiled faintly.

“Don’t worry about anything. Why else would we be here if not to support you? Besides, Elder Brodie would definitely stand with you if you can take out Harvey!”

Chapter 4810

Vaughn grinned when he heard the killing intent in Nameless’s words.

“As long as you’re happy with the documents provided.

“Right! Young Master John told me something.”

Hearing that Blaine was mentioned, Nameless slowly sat up straight despite his high and mighty attitude. “What is he asking?”

“He said that the John family has suffered some losses recently, and they seem to all be connected to Harvey.

“He’d only embarrass himself if he went against Harvey, who has a high status now.

“It’d be better if you do it instead. He could clean up for you after that.”

It was clear that Vaughn’s words had a different meaning; he sounded quite encouraging.

Nameless froze. Then, he smiled.

“I’d just be dealing with some bugs for Young Master John, anyway. It’s just business between us.”

“It’s better to be more open-minded. You should know, Young Master John’s strength in the city isn’t something you can imagine.

“The Patel family and the six Hermit Families, they’re all just worthless trash waiting to be recycled by history…

“Since we lost in the ring, we should just have a bit of fun.

“I believe you’ll have a great time as well.

“That said, we have a variable in our plan now- Harvey.”

Nameless nodded. “Since that’s what you’re saying, I understand. I’ll handle this neatly.”

Vaughn grinned playfully.

“Not just neatly-with everything you’ve got.

“No matter how impressive Harvey is, he’s just a geomancy expert. He might have a lot of connections and power, but his fighting skills are probably nothing to be feared.

“Julian’s different, though.

“Not only does he have the Yorks of Hong Kong supporting him, but I’m sure he got his hands on his family’s ancient scripture too.

“We have people who can suppress him, but we can’t take action against him.

“That’s why, you need to be prepared for that.

“Another thing. Young Master John said that he doesn’t want anything to do with this if the situation gets exposed to the public.”

Vaughn meant that Blaine would naturally clean up for Nameless if he actually managed to take out Harvey.

If not, or if something were to happen during the process, Blaine would avoid the situation.

After all, he was the high and mighty young master of the John family. He wouldn’t want to be bothered by trivial matters.

Nameless could understand what Vaughn meant.

He had no choice but to smile despite the resentment in his heart.

In Evermore or Golden Sands, Blaine’s status alone could suppress him. He couldn’t afford to go against Blaine.

“Don’t worry, Young Master Vaughn. I lost in the ring, but that doesn’t mean we’ll lose everything else,” Nameless said.

He poured himself a glass of red wine, and shook it.

“I can even tell you that my father has already invited three Rakshasa Monks of India to deal with Julian.”

Chapter 4809

Chapter 4809

While the Foster family pondered on whether they should wait for a few more days or not…

Under the Indigo Mountain, an ancient manor beside the Hulroy Lake was brimming with lights.

The place seemed to be destroyed after a huge battle; smoky trails could be seen all over.

Looking closely, many bodyguards with firearms could be seen standing in the shadows of the building.

The howling night winds made everyone shiver.

In the deepest parts of the manor was an old- looking villa, decorated extravagantly on the inside.

A fire burned brightly in a European-style fireplace.

A massive round table was set in the middle of the hall. There were a few people leaning on a big, comfortable Italian couch.

Blaine wasn’t present, but his associates were.

They were all people who worked under Vaughn.

Vaughn was playing with an ancient vase, making sounds of approval, as if he was interested in it. In front of him was none other than Nameless, sitting cross-legged, clad in a white suit.

Two of his suit buttons were off, revealing his dark red skin and the blood under it. He shook his leg slightly as he browsed some documents expressionlessly.

After some time, Vaughn finally put the vase down and smiled.

“Are you happy with the documents, Nameless?”

Nameless finished looking through the contents before smiling back.

“What an interesting guy.

“Wakes up at six-thirty in the morning for practice.

“Has breakfast at seven-thirty, and it’s not fancy food either.

“He starts attending to customers at eight-thirty.

“Has a two-hour break in the afternoon, and closes up at five-thirty.

“Not just that, look at the amount of people he has to deal with every day.

“At most a few hundred, at least a few dozen.

“No matter how many he gets, he’d make a schedule to ensure he isn’t too busy or too free.

“This guy’s pretty interesting, alright.

“I wouldn’t call it rare to see people like this, but there isn’t a lot who’s on par with him.

“His connections are special, too; aside from the John family, he has a deep connection with almost every other wealthy family in Golden Sands.

“Even the castaway head of the Jean family’s ninth branch is his ex-wife.

“Julian of the Yorks of Hong Kong is acquainted with him as well. He must’ve been here to repay the favor this time.

“Interesting. Too interesting…”

Nameless put the documents down, smiling faintly. He then clapped.

“If this was a TV series, he’d probably be the protagonist!

“We wouldn’t be able to go against such a prominent figure!

“A shame this is real life.

“He came for my family and Evermore, then got one of the top fighters of the younger generation from the Island Nations killed…

“He must pay!”

Chapter 4808

Chapter 4808

Charlize was overjoyed; she believed she could regain her pride back through this.

A man in his nightgown walked down the spiral staircase just as she was about to make the call.

There were a few subordinates following him, but he was stubborn enough to walk on his own instead of relying on others.

He was none other than the high and mighty head of the Foster family, Brayan.

A man from the top-rated circle of the entire country would naturally have his own pride and dignity.

“Father!” Amora rushed forward, and took his hand.

Charlize and the others kneeled; they were shivering in fear, too afraid to make a single sound.

Brayan sat casually in his chair, and took a sip of his black tea before finally speaking up.

“It’d be embarrassing if we called the royal court for such a trivial matter.”

Naturally, Brayan managed to keep himself under control with Mr. Davis’s help. He was holding a cross in his hand. For the time being, his expression was back to normal.

“Father, I’m planning to show Harvey our strength since he wouldn’t give us his respect,” Amora said.

“Only then will he kneel in front of our gates and serve us willingly.

“After all, we don’t have time to toy with such nobodies. Our standards will be lowered.”

Brayan calmly sipped his tea while enjoying the silence. After a long time, he finally spoke up.

“I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night after three days.

“After five, I’d start to have hallucinations during the day.

“These were the things that kid said to me.

“Judging from what happened in the past few days, this clearly isn’t just a coincidence anymore “Even if he has no talent, with that kind of skill, he probably has someone behind him.

Amora frowned. “So you’re saying that we should politely ask him back? If that’s the case, I’ll make the trip.

Brayan squinted.

“It’s always good to have an ace up our sleeve.

“Mr. Davis told me that astrology arts are probably useless to help my condition.

“However, his teacher’s methods will definitely work.

“From what he said, his teacher’s a little odd, so he might not be able to get him here.

“If that wasn’t the case, I would’ve sent someone to deal with Harvey right now. Why would I let him run around rampant?

“Under such circumstances, we shouldn’t lay a finger on him at the moment. We have to consider his talent and the people supporting him. We might need his help, after all.”

Having suffered days of endless horror, Brayan would naturally hold back if he had to.

“That kid’s an arrogant one, Father. He doesn’t respect the family at all…

“What would happen to our reputation if we just let him go?”

Amora gritted her teeth.

“There’s no rush. I told you many times already.

Sometimes, it’s better to sit back and watch than to act recklessly,” Brayan said.

“Didn’t he say I’d be limp after a week? We’ll just wait and see…”

Chapter 4807

Chapter 4807

Calling the cops was destined to be useless. The Foster family was the one who caused trouble in the first place, and yet, they were the ones demanding justice.

When Soren got the call, he quickly hung up after haphazardly skimming past the subject.

Charlize was so angry, she was on the verge of coughing up blood.

She had no choice but to return to the Ostrane Five, shivering in fear. She kneeled with a horrible expression as she explained everything in detail to Amora.

“That bastard doesn’t respect the family at all, milady!

“Not only did he decline our kindness, but he even got his people to smash our cars and break our men’s legs!

“He even told us that he’ll make us suffer if we don’t get out of the city in three days!”

Naturally, Charlize wouldn’t expose herself for acting high and mighty. Instead, she put all the blame on Harvey.

She believed Amora would take out Harvey in a fit of rage to quell her anger as well.

Charlize was just a subordinate, but she wouldn’t allow herself to be humiliated like this!

“Interesting…”

A hint of rage could be seen on Amora’s beautiful face.

“A small fry like that is challenging us?

“The family must be completely harmless to him “Ignorant fools like him wouldn’t know what kind of strength the top ten families have.”

Amora was a bit pissed, but not to the point where she was about to lose control.

‘People like him kept going against our family, thinking that our strength was limited since we aren’t in Shaddol…

‘And then what happened?

‘They all suffered horribly, until they had to kneel in front of the family’s front gate…’

An ignorant man with a death wish like Harvey wouldn’t be able to enrage Amora, anyway.

“You said Soren didn’t deal with the situation after you made the call, right?” Amora asked after being reminded of something.

“That’s right.” Charlize gritted her teeth. “The bastard must’ve bought off the police. Milady, we need to…”

“Call the royal court. Inform this to the Country H Police Station.

“The country’s laws do seem a little murky right now, after all…” Amora said calmly.

“I believe Harvey’s support will turn into his greatest threat soon enough.”

Naturally, Amora was an experienced woman.

It wouldn’t be hard to deal with people who hid behind powerful figures, anyway.

With the Foster family’s strength, Amora would be able to make those people kneel.

It did seem a little overkill…

But she had no time to toy with small fries like Harvey at such a desperate time.

She planned to go all out, and make sure Harvey had no choice but to kneel for the rest of his life.

At the same time, she wanted to show him just what would happen if anyone in the city went against the Fosters!

Chapter 4806

The men looked at each other for a moment.

Then, a Westerner leading the group walked forward, prepared to slap Prince to the ground.

Bam!

Prince smacked the man down with his crutch without holding back. He then swung the crutch down again.

Crack!

A bone was snapped immediately.

Since Harvey gave the order to break some legs, Prince naturally wouldn’t hold back.

“Get him!”

The remaining guards froze for a moment, then rushed with their fists.

Even with his legs covered in plaster, Prince was still Quill’s son; why would he be afraid of a bunch of bodyguards in the first place?

In under a minute, the men were all beaten down.

They lay on the floor with their legs broken, wailing in pain.

The last one standing frantically rushed backward; his entire body was shivering in fear even as he stood in front of Charlize.

“You…”

Charlize was bewildered.

‘Even a cripple is this impressive?

‘What a joke!

‘He took down a dozen of my men with his crutch?

‘Nobody would even believe me if I said that!

‘And yet, everything happened right in front of my eyes…’

Charlize’s face twisted into an ugly expression.

She squinted at Harvey.

“Do you understand what you just did?

“Do you know the consequences you’ll have to deal with because of your recklessness?”

Harvey smiled faintly.

“I don’t know…

“But I do know what’ll happen to Brayan.

“He’s been dreaming this morning, right?

“Tell Amora that everything I said will come true.

“She doesn’t have much time. Tell Brayan to write his will.

“If he doesn’t, he won’t get another chance.

“Judging from Amora’s position, she’ll be buried with her father if he died without a will.”

Harvey planned to torture Brayan while trampling on Charlize; he had no intention of holding back.

“Bastard!”

Charlize wanted to lash out, but she was filled with fear after hearing such an accurate statement about Brayan’s condition.

She gritted her teeth; she really wanted to strangle Harvey to death. Seeing how fierce Prince was despite his broken leg, though, she had no choice but to swallow her hatred.

“What goes around, comes around, Harvey!” she snarled, gritting her teeth. “Just you wait!”

She waved her hand, then left with her broken men.

Right as they stepped outside, many construction workers showed up everywhere.

They raised their hammers in front of Charlize, and smashed the G-Wagons till they barely resembled cars.

“Goddammit! You bastards!”

Charlize was on the verge of tears.

The cars were properties of the Foster family, after all. She was planning to show off with them, but now, both the bodyguards’ legs and the cars were thrashed.

How was she supposed to explain this?

If she did, she’d be beaten to death!

She screamed in righteous fury, tossing away her pride.

“Call the cops! Do it right now! I want that bastard behind bars!”

Chapter 4805

Chapter 4805

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Charlize took out her checkbook and wrote down a few numbers. Then, she slapped a check on the table.

“Keep pretending! All you want is just some money! You act as if you’re some sort of saint!”

Charlize laughed coldly.

“Look here! 1.5 million! I don’t care if the tea set is real or not! I paid for it anyway!

“Can we go now? Hurry it up! Don’t waste my time!

“Don’t you know that every minute of my time is worth thousands of dollars?”

As Amora’s best assistant, Charlize looked down on show-offs who thought of themselves highly the most.

‘These people don’t know just what kind of disaster they’ll bring to themselves for showing off to the Foster family…

‘Don’t they understand that making Mr. Brayan owe them would give them a chance to make their own wealthy family?

‘No wonder they can only resort to being con men for the rest of their lives…’

Charlize was filled with disdain toward Harvey and the others.

Shay ran to Prince and the others, and sipped her tea. All of them were more pompous than Charlize, but they were all humbled in the end.

After seeing someone so arrogant trying to challenge Harvey, they would naturally be eager to watch a good show.

To make the show even more enjoyable, Shay made herself more tea. She squinted as she watched.

Harvey picked up the check on the table before glaring at Charlize.

“Right. Got the money. You can leave now.”

“Do you have a death wish or something, Harvey?!”

After seeing Harvey calmly handing the check to Shay before flipping through his Centennial Book again, Charlize exploded. It was her first time seeing someone this ignorant.

“You think you can just disrespect me like this when I’m asking for your help?!” she exclaimed, pointing furiously at Harvey.

“You think you can just ridicule me?

“Fine! Since you’re not going to do as you’re asked…

“Then don’t blame me for not warning you!”

Charlize snapped her fingers.

“Break his legs and drag him out of here!” she ordered coldly.

She then turned around and left.

Her guards cracked their necks and stepped forward, laughing coldly.

“You hear that? Break their legs and throw them out of here,” Harvey said.

Prince stood up.

“Let’s move!” he exclaimed.

Julian glanced over with disdain; he couldn’t be bothered to do anything. Shay glared at Prince without doing anything as well.

Kellan, Cliff, and the others smiled faintly.

Prince felt extremely awkward when he stood in front of the fierce guards with his crutch.

The guards froze.

‘What the hell is this guy planning to do?’

‘Is he stupid? Or does he have a death wish?’

“Are you people coming one at a time, or all together?” Prince asked with a vengeful expression.

What a dominant sight!

As expected from a young master like him!

Chapter 4804

Chapter 4804

Charlize was infuriated to hear those words.

‘I gave him a chance, but he doesn’t know how to cherish it!’

She glared at Harvey, her face gloomy.

“Enough pretending, Harvey!

“Don’t you know that you’re blessed to have this kind of opportunity?!

“If you miss it, you won’t get it again even after ten different lifetimes!

“Do you know who Mr. Brayan is?! He’s the head of the Foster family-one of the top ten families!

“He has influence all over the country! Maybe even the entire world!

“It’s your honor to help him! Don’t you know that?

“As long as you have a bit of use to him, your name will skyrocket! You’ll earn everyone’s acknowledgement and gain hefty resources!

“Aside from that, you’ll get a reward worth eight figures!

“Do you know how much money that is? Fifteen million dollars!”

Charlize became more and more arrogant the more she spoke.

“People shouldn’t protect their useless pride and dignity, and throw away their opportunity and money!

“You should know better! People who don’t will suffer miserable deaths, after all!”

In Charlize’s eyes, Harvey was just being arrogant to protect his reputation.

She was convinced that this high and mighty geomancy expert would kneel in an instant after she emphasized her words.

“I’m sorry, but your family has no place here. I’m not interested in money, either.”

Harvey flipped through his Centennial Book.

“Pay up and leave.”

If it wasn’t for the renovation, Harvey would’ve told Julian to slap everyone and send them flying.

“You think you have the right to reject me, Harvey?!”

Charlize’s eyes turned cold, and she and started to give out threats.

“Let me tell you something! You don’t have a choice in this matter!

“If you obey, you’ll still be able to enjoy the VIP treatment.

“But if you don’t, don’t blame me when all your limbs get broken before you get dragged out!

“Mandy and her family will suffer because of you, too!

“The family never breaks its promise!

“Even in Golden Sands, the family can shut down your business and throw you behind bars if we want!”

It was Charlize’s first time seeing such a disrespectful man after serving the Foster family for so long.

After all, Brayan was involved! Many people wouldn’t even get such an opportunity, even after kneeling their entire lives!

‘How dare this man act so high and mighty, and not appreciate our kindness? Does he want to die?’

Harvey ignored Charlize. Shay slapped a bill on the coffee table in front of her.

“1.5 million. You can leave when you pay up,”

Shay said.

“You people…!” Charlize sputtered.

Harvey was arrogant, and his subordinates even more so!

Charlize was on the verge of exploding.

Remembering the order her lady gave her, however, she desperately held back her anger.

Chapter 4803

Chapter 4803

Charlize was disgusted.

She was Amora’s best secretary, and a prideful woman to boot. In the business world, many heads of first and second-rated families would have to show her respect.

This was her first time having to contact someone who fell out of power, yet she was promptly declined.

‘Does Mandy think she’s a direct descendant of the Jean family?

‘We gave her a chance to invite a con man, but she declined!

‘Because of that, I had to come all the way here to such a rundown alleyway!

‘This is just embarrassing!’

Charlize became more enraged as she thought about it.

She ignored Prince, and strutted into Fortune Hall with her guards in tow.

Shay, who was cleaning the place when she saw them walk in, didn’t try to stop them. She also politely brought some tea for them. However, she used cheap tea leaves for the masses to maximize Fortune Hall’s profits.

Charlize, who was used to eating lavishly, grew even more disdainful.

She didn’t even bat an eye at Shay. She waved her hand, slapping the tea to the ground.

As the cups shattered on the ground, Charlize looked at Harvey, who was reading the Centennial Book in the back.

“My lady gave the word, Harvey.

“She decided to give you a chance to perform, for the sake of the Jean family.

“She wants you to know just how lucky you are!

“Pack your things and come with me to Ostrane Five, now!”

Charlize looked smugly at Harvey. Her words were frivolous, and her gaze was filled with disgust. She spoke as if she was sparing Harvey from something bad; as if it was a blessing for him to get a chance to cling to the Foster family.

Cliff, Kellan, Luca, and the others, who were crouching on the side while having their breakfast, exchanged meaningful glances.

They didn’t think that someone so stupid would come all the way here to challenge Harvey.

Didn’t she know just how impressive Harvey was?

Even prominent figures like Brodie and Nameless were completely humiliated by Harvey just the day before. Blaine himself was too terrified to lash out.

This pompous woman must have a death wish.

“Excuse me, but we’re not taking any customers today. We’re closed for the day.”

Harvey took a sip of his tea; he naturally knew who the woman was.

“Another thing. Remember to pay for Shay’s ancient porcelain wares before leaving. Go grab the bill, Shay.”

Shay quickly ran to the counter after hearing those words.

Prince Gibson and the others started to send texts. They could tell that Harvey wasn’t going to let Charlize off the hook easily.

It would be bad if Fortune Hall was wrecked again, just because they went against such an ignorant woman. There would always be someone to pay a lot for the renovations, but the fees alone would surpass their daily earnings.

That said, Harvey already demanded for the place to be renovated in just a few weeks.

No ignorant person was allowed to thrash up the place again.

Chapter 4802

Chapter 4802

After a moment, priests in uniform entered. A few of them waved their crosses around. Some even brought a grail filled with holy water, for Brayan to drink.

A faint light could be seen on his forehead after that. He quickly regained his consciousness.

Even so, the usually high and mighty Brayan was drenched in cold sweat. His entire body was shivering. It was clear just how much fear and pain he was dealing with.

Amora was suddenly reminded of Harvey’s words.

“He wouldn’t be able to sleep at night after three days.

“After five days, he’d start having hallucinations during the day.

“A week later, his limbs will be limp, as if he’s paralyzed.

“A few weeks later, he’ll finally die of exhaustion.”

Amora thought Harvey was just acting like a clown and said all that nonsense after his lies were exposed…

She didn’t think that everything he said would be true!

To her, geomancy arts were just things to fool the public.

Her father’s condition was probably just a coincidence.

However, she started envisioning her miserable end because of her father’s sudden illness…

Suddenly, she felt like she should at least give Harvey a chance to prove himself.

For one, there was nothing left to lose. Also, she could show her father that she wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice her dignity for the sake of his safety.

Amora acted on her thoughts swiftly.

“Charlize, contact Mandy.”

She turned to her assistant, looking cold and haughty.

“Tell her that for the sake of the top ten families…

“I’m going to give her a chance.

“As long as the geomancy expert she brought can do anything…

“I’ll consider signing the contract she brought as well.

“Tell her this is her only chance, and that it’s the best one she’s got. Tell her to cherish it.”

Charlize found the order a little odd, but she went to make the call anyway.

The next day…

Fortune Hall was open for business, but there were no customers.

Five G-Wagons suddenly appeared, roaring loudly.

Prince Gibson, who was in charge of opening the front gate, observed the crowd with narrowed eyes. He quickly realized that they weren’t normal people.

The car doors opened, revealing many men in suits and dark sunglasses. There were also a few Westerners.

One of them opened the door of the car in the very center. A short-haired woman with golden- rimmed glasses, dressed from head to toe in Chanel -branded apparel, alighted slowly from the car.

She had a haughty look about her, as if she was leagues above everyone else. She was none other than Amora’s secretary, Charlize.

When she saw Fortune Hall’s sign, she narrowed her eyes in disdain.

“Fortune Hall?” she sneered. “This is a place for con men, after all!”
