    Chapter 4701

    After seeing Harvey York’s greedy look, Chiba Nobita gave a cold chuckle before speaking.

    “Of course! Bring out the two boxes of 1982 liquor!

    “We’re not done till we’re drunk here!”

    The two opened each of their bottles before starting to drink again.

    Even though Harvey seemed like he was about to topple at any minute, he still stood no matter what.

    Xynthia Zimmer kept warning Harvey to stop, but he completely ignored her when he kept clinking cups with the others, as if he was a macho man.

    Yet another box of alcohol was finished.

    Almost half of the people could not handle Whiskey and liquor simultaneously and dropped to the ground.

    Even Chiba was hyperventilating while leaning on the couch. He would not dare to take another round with Harvey anymore.

    Harvey smiled before returning to normal.

    He poured himself another cup and walked before Ramon Lee and the others.

    “Come. Don’t hold yourself back.

    “You’ve all asked to have so much with me.

    It’s only natural that I repay the favor!

    “I should be reciprocating the passion that you guys are showing!

    “Come! Come! This is a memorable moment!

    “Let’s keep going!”

    Harvey kept going in circles, drinking three cups of liquor for each person without hesitation.

    Chiba and the others disdained him, thinking he was ignorant to ask for more rounds with them…

    They believed that the alcohol completely dazed him. He would not be doing something this insane if that were not the case.

    But soon, their expressions worsened.

    Harvey seemed completely drunk, but he was still going around with liquor in hand.

    All the beautiful women dropped to the ground.

    The men were no different.

    Only Chiba and Ramon were barely standing.

    They had at least fifty ounces of alcohol.

    They could barely hold themselves up at this point.

    Their tongues were so swollen that they could not even talk properly anymore.

    Harvey did not stop there. He kept asking to drink with them without restraint.

    After another three cups, even Chiba was on the verge of losing it, let alone Ramon.

    Ramon fell to the ground before completely losing consciousness.

    Chiba was still standing, but his eyes drooped when his entire body swayed.

    Xynthia was utterly shocked by the sight.

    ‘Harvey’s too awesome!

    ‘He toppled this many people himself?!’

    “Oh, Young Master Chiba! You came all the way here from the Island Nations! We should have another!”

    Chiba was filled with despair. It was his first time seeing such a strong drinker.

    ‘Is he even human?!

    ‘This is terrifying!’

    Even though he was regulating his energy for the sake of drinking, he was still completely inferior.

    Harvey nonchalantly poured another cup.

    “It’s fate for us to meet each other like this, Young Master Chiba!

    “Come! Another!”

    Bam!

    Chiba fell to the ground, paralyzed. Nobody knew if he was actually pretending or not.

    “You’re such a hero, Sir York!

    Ensley Johnson walked over with a cup in hand.

    “It’s a true blessing to have a drink with you!

    You need to do this with me!”

    Ensley gave Harvey York a seductive look.

    Xynthia Zimmer instinctively stood in front of Harvey.

    “Stop, Ensley. I’ll drink with you…”

    “This isn’t good, Xynthia!

    “Men have been drinking for women since ancient times, not vice versa!

    “You’ll make Harvey look like useless filth for doing this!”

    Then, Ensley smiled faintly.

    “You’re not done already, are you?”

    The women playfully chuckled after hearing those words.

    The atmosphere was extremely tense.

    “Sit down, Xynthia! Ms. Johnson’s right!

    “Men can’t just back down like this!”

    Harvey burst out laughing before clinking cups with Ensley and downing his drink.

    Ensley grabbed another bottle of Whiskey before filling the cups again.

    “Let’s have another, Sir York!

    “I apologize for everything I did before!

    “Please forgive me!”

    Harvey chuckled before downing the cup again, as if he had already forgiven the beautiful woman.

    His body started swaying. It seemed as if he was at his limit.

    After seeing the sight, Chiba Nobita gave a few looks at the beautiful women.

    All the women came with their cups, prepared to make Harvey drunk.

    Obviously, they would not stop until Harvey was drunk out of his mind.

    After a moment, another box of Whiskey was gone.

    Chiba coldly chuckled. In his eyes, Harvey was just a complete idiot.

    After all, Harvey could not tell that he was being forced to drink after so long.

    It would be hard for Chiba to think otherwise in that case.

    Based on his experience, Harvey would drop to the ground after a little longer.

    He would surely pass out even if he did not vomit everything.

    Ramon Lee showed a playful expression.

    ‘As expected for Young Master Chiba to be this impressive!’

    People from the Island Nations were extremely well-versed in torturing people’s hearts.

    A lift of Chiba’s finger would be enough to deal with any small fry.

    Harvey did not even realize he had already become the young masters’ plaything.

    Ramon waved his hand before someone brought over another box of Whiskey.

    “My only regret is meeting you this late!

    “Come! Let’s have another!”

    The people kept asking to drink with Harvey.

    Soon after, another box was finished.

    Xynthia immediately spoke when she saw Harvey barely able to stand up straight.

    “You need to stop, Harvey!

    “I’ll get angry if you do!”

    Harvey unbuttoned his shirt, looking dazed.

    “Men can’t just back down like that!

    “Your alcohol isn’t strong enough, Young Master Chiba! Let’s get some liquor instead!”

    Ramon Lee showed a bright smile.

    “Oh my, Sir York! Since you’re Xynthia’s boyfriend, it’s only natural for you to drink in her stead!

    “Mind you, we have rules here!

    “Other than hers, you also have to drink your own!

    “You won’t break the rules now, would you?”

    Ramon poured another cup before bringing both in front of Harvey York.

    Xynthia Zimmer’s eyes twitched. She quickly kicked Harvey, signaling him to stop fighting.

    Naturally, she could tell that Ramon and the others harbored ill intent.

    Harvey burst out laughing, as if he did not feel the kick.

    “Of course! I’ll definitely follow the rules now that you said so!

    “Come! Let’s drink!”

    Harvey poured both cups of Whiskey in his mouth.

    “A bona fide man!”

    Chiba Nobita picked up his cup before downing his drink.

    Ramon did the same.

    The two prideful people were coldly smiling at Harvey. In their eyes, Harvey was just a clown making a fool out of himself.

    ‘There’ll be all the time in the world to toy with Xynthia when Harvey’s out cold!

    ‘We can do whatever we want to her after that!

    “Come! Let’s all drink!”

    Chiba chuckled before stepping forward.

    “Since you’re such an honest man, I feel it’d be easy for us to be good friends!

    “Come! At least we got to know each other better from the situation!

    “Of course! We’ll do it by the rules!”

    Ensley Johnson showed a faint smile when she saw the sight. She did not hold back when she continuously filled the cups.

    “I was being ignorant just now, Sir York!

    Come! Let’s have another!”

    Another young man walked over before greeting Harvey with a smile.

    “Let’s all get drunk tonight!”

    “Don’t drink too much, Harvey!”

    Compared to herself, Xynthia was more worried about Harvey getting in trouble.

    “Good! Good! Let’s keep going!”

    Harvey kept downing drinks with a faint smile, as if he did not notice Xynthia’s anxious expression.

    “Oh, Sir York! You’re a billionaire ! I admire you!”

    “You’re also the geomancy consultant for the Golden Sands’ government! You’re a prominent figure!”

    “Come! Let’s keep going!”

    The young masters came over with cups in hand and smiles on their faces. They were all pretty good drinkers, looking at Harvey as if he was their long-lost brother.

    Harvey kept drinking with every single person while everyone was in an uproar.

    Soon, a dozen bottles of Whiskey were gone.

    The cabin reeked of alcohol at this moment.

    “Enough, Harvey! You’ll be in trouble if you keep going!”

    Xynthia felt more worried after seeing Harvey’s actions. She tried to talk him out of it, but he seemed completely indulged.

    She started to be afraid, regretting her decision to bring Harvey here.

    ‘What do I do if he gets himself in trouble?!’

    Harvey had already drank fifty ounces of Whiskey when he was done. It was a terrifying sight.

    Chapter 4698

    Chiba Nobita signaled for Ramon Lee to pour everyone a huge drink.

    The Whiskey from the Island Nations was bittersweet and extremely strong, enough to make anyone drop after a few cups.

    Xynthia Zimmer immediately held her nose shut when Ramon brought the Whiskey over.

    “I’m sorry, I can’t drink. I’ll just have juice.”

    Naturally, Xynthia did not want to get in trouble again after what had happened before.

    Harvey York would probably stop accompanying her if the same happened again.

    “Ms. Zimmer, everyone here knows you’re a pure and innocent goddess in the entertainment industry.

    “It’s our blessing to get to meet you finally!

    “It’s a good day today!

    “We can’t just go by without having some alcohol!

    “Come! Just take a sip!

    “Young Master Chiba brought this all the way from the Island Nations! Ordinary people wouldn’t even get to drink this!

    Ramon looked exceptionally honored.

    “Come! Just one cup! We won’t force you after that…”

    Ramon happily filled Xynthia’s cup.

    Xynthia showed a horrible expression.

    “I’m sorry, but I really can’t.”

    “Sigh! Oh, Xynthia! Everyone’s here! It’s fine to have a little fun with some booze!

    This is a royal item!”

    “Yeah! You won’t get another chance if you miss it!”

    “Just give Young Master Chiba a chance !”

    “He came all the way here from the Island Nations! You’re a local here! How can you act like this?”

    Ensley and the others spoke in unison, hoping that Xynthia would take a sip.

    Xynthia’s face turned dark almost instantaneously. She did not move a single inch while she was being bombarded.

    Chiba chuckled before speaking.

    “Ms. Zimmer, are you still mad that we made fun of your brother-in-law?”

    “That’s right!” replied Xynthia without delay.

    Chiba and the others squinted. They did not expect the innocent -looking woman to be this hard to deal with.

    But Chiba’s anger was replaced by a sense of playfulness.

    He squinted at Harvey, heartily munching on food at the moment, before showing a faint smile.

    “We shouldn’t have made fun of you before, Sir York!

    “We’re really sorry!

    “Please, pretend that none of this ever happened!

    Then, Chiba respectfully bowed before Harvey.

    “That said, it’s fate that we met here!

    “Since we’re all here, having a few drinks is only natural, right?

    “It’d be a waste of the Whiskey if we don’t drink it all up!”

    Chiba waved his hand before the bottle was put on the table. It was a pretty alluring sight.

    Harvey smiled faintly.

    “That’s right! It’s a happy day! We should be drinking to our hearts’ content!

    “Then again, we shouldn’t force Xynthia into this! She can’t drink!

    “I’ll also drink her portion!

    “I’m her boyfriend, after all! There’s no problem livening things up for everyone, right?”

    Soon after, Harvey grabbed his cup.

    Ensley wanted to ridicule Harvey, but she returned to her senses when she showed a smirk.

    “What? Does a lackey like you like to lecture others?

    Harvey York smiled faintly.

    “Come! Make me feel regret!”

    Ramon Lee let out a cold chuckle.

    “I rarely come to this city, but you should know that everyone from the country’s upper social circle is deeply connected!

    “You’ve heard of the John family before, haven’t you?

    “Colson John himself is my cousin!

    “With his status and identity in Golden Sands, he’d let you experience a horrible death!”

    Ramon looked prideful.

    Naturally, he would always benefit from mentioning Colson’s name.

    “Colson?

    Harvey smiled after hearing the familiar name.

    “Fine. Get him here. Tell him to make me regret ever coming here!”

    Ramon froze. He waited for Harvey to grovel but never thought he would react this way.

    ‘I’m talking about the second young master of the John family, you bastard!

    “You live in the city too, kid!

    “Do you know the John family?!

    “Do you know who the second young master of the family is?!

    Ramon could not help but remind Harvey.

    “He’s second only to the eldest young master!”

    Harvey merely smiled.

    “Of course, I know the John family. Just focus on calling the young master here.”

    “Fine! You’ve got guts!

    Ramon immediately raised his thumb after being completely annoyed by Harvey’s words.

    “Have it your way then!

    “If you want to die, I’ll happily oblige!

    “You’ll know what happens when you go against the John family soon enough!

    “I’ll make you regret your entire damn life!”

    Naturally, Ramon was also quite bold with his words.

    He was just a lackey for Chiba Nobita. He was not as impressive as him…

    But ordinary people could not just challenge him willy-nilly.

    Rather, he was vengeful because he was not a true young master.

    The people who went against him would die horrible deaths.

    The beautiful women were all showing pity when they saw the sight.

    ‘Doesn’t this loser know how to restrain himself and do as Ramon says?”

    ‘He’s nothing compared to someone like Young Master Chiba!’

    ‘Who does he think he is?!’

    ‘He won’t even know what hit him when Ramon lashes out!’

    They believed that the big show was about to play out!

    The atmosphere immediately tensed up.

    But because of Xynthia Zimmer, everyone still sat together.

    They were already on the cruise. They could not just leave.

    Harvey completely ignored the others and sat on the seat Ensley Johnson reserved for Chiba. He kept holding Xynthia in his arms, giving no chance for Chiba to get closer.

    Ensley showed murderous intent in her gaze when Chiba signaled to her to keep quiet.

    The Michelin-star chef brought over all sorts of delicious dishes. Chiba signaled for someone to open up the bottle of Whiskey.

    Later, the entire cabin was filled with a refreshing scent of food and alcohol.

    Chapter 4696

    Chiba Nobita and the others, completely stunned, returned to their senses after hearing those words.

    ‘An owner of a geomancy shop who’s also a live-in son-in-law had no right for Eliel Braff to look up to him!’

    ‘Someone like that has 1.31 billion?!’

    ‘What a damn joke!’

    “I told you! His entire outfit probably doesn’t even cost fifteen dollars! In that case, how can someone like that be a geomancy expert or a billionaire?!”

    “He’s doing all this just to show off! He even got people pretending to call him!”

    “How can someone be this arrogant ?! He’s completely ruining the goddess’ reputation!”

    “Yeah! Take a look in the mirror! You don’t even have the right to be a rich heir or a master!”

    “Young Master Chiba and Young Master Ramon are just mocking you, yet you’re here acting up a storm? Do you really think that you have the skills or something?”

    Chiba, Ramon Lee, and the others were coldly chuckling when they relentlessly ridiculed Harvey York.

    After all, they believed that he almost fooled them.

    Harvey put his phone back before curiously glancing at the clowns before him.

    The Islanders’ pride could only get them so far…

    “Shut up!

    Xynthia Zimmer was furious.

    “You can’t talk about Harvey like that!

    “He isn’t lying!

    “He’s really impressive!

    “The rich and powerful come to him for his geomancy arts!

    “Even the six Hermit Families would visit him!”

    Everyone burst out laughing after hearing those words.

    The six Hermit Families are local powerhouses!

    People like them would at least look for Rodney Foster or Reece Foley for help!

    What right did Harvey have for the Hermit Families to notice him?

    The people believed that Harvey was completely fooling Xynthia.

    “Alright, Young Master Chiba! Pay me some respect!

    “Let’s not talk about this anymore! Fate brought us all here!

    “Even if Harvey’s just a poor sob, he’d want respect too!

    Ensley Johnson stood out, pretending to mediate the situation after seeing Xynthia in a bad mood.

    “We haven’t eaten anything yet!

    “Come ! Come! It’d be bad if the food gets cold!”

    “Of course! We’ll talk while we eat!

    Chiba politely smiled.

    “I invited a Michelin -star chef to prepare dinner for us tonight! Just order whatever you like! We have everything here!

    “We’re not going home until we’re drunk out of our minds!”

    The women were exhilarated.

    Ensley dragged Xynthia to sit inside, afraid that she would run off.

    Ramon intentionally stood beside Harvey while looking at the debauchery before him.

    “Harvey, right?

    “I don’t care if you’re an actual geomancy expert or not!

    “I don’t care if you’re actually Xynthia’s boyfriend either!

    “Young Master Chiba’s into her now!

    “If you leave this instant, I’ll pretend nothing happened here so Young Master Chiba wouldn’t settle scores with you!

    “You can walk out of here safe and sound!

    You’ll even get seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars from this!

    Then, Ramon cracked his neck with a stern look.

    “But if you don’t, you’ll learn to regret your decision soon enough…

    “Do you understand me?”

    Chapter 4695

    Chiba and the others went slack with shock.

    They looked at Harvey, speechless. The smile on their faces froze instantly, replaced by a look of shock.

    Nobody could believe that Harvey would actually be invited to be the government’s chief consultant for geomancy arts.

    Xynthia was stunned as well. She didn’t think that Harvey was so impressive, to the point where Eliel looked up to him.

    Harvey froze. He didn’t know that Eliel would actually talk about this on the phone.

    He thought about the situation for a moment.

    “This feels a little rushed. Let me think about this for now…”

    “Of course! We won’t force you if you don’t think that you’re a good fit. But if you want to, just give us a call anytime.”

    Eliel chuckled, then hung up.

    Chiba and the others looked ugly, at a loss for words.

    Ensley questioned Harvey immediately.

    “Heh, heh, heh! The first-in-command called you?

    “Do you think I’d believe such a thing?

    “Do you really think you’re that impressive?

    We don’t even know who exactly called you!

    “You even declined his request just to not expose yourself!

    “What a strong front you’re putting up!

    “You said that you have 1.3 billion?

    “Show it to us, then!

    “We’ll believe everything if you do!”

    “That’s right!”

    The beautiful women spoke up with Ensley.

    Of course, they wouldn’t believe that Eliel actually looked up to Harvey so much.

    Harvey looked at them casually. He didn’t care if they believed him or not. They’re not worthy to see his money, anyway.

    Ding!

    His phone vibrated once again. Harvey instinctively turned on the speaker mode, and the beautiful voice of a woman could be heard.

    “Mr. York, I’m your dedicated customer service for your Black Card. You just received 1.3 billion dollars worth of transactions from Mr. Kade Bolton. Would you like to deposit that amount into your financial account or your current one?”

    “Just put it in the current one for now,”

    Harvey replied calmly.

    “Right. Your account currently has 7.8 billion dollars. Please contact me anytime if you need help with your finances. I’ll be here twenty-four-seven.

    “Well then, I’ll leave you be.

    “Have a good day!”

    The call ended.

    Everyone looked at each other.

    ¹7.8. Billion dollars? In his current account?!’

    Even Xynthia looked shocked. She didn’t think Harvey was actually that rich!

    Harvey was confused. He didn’t know that Kade already sold the Augustea that quickly.

    “Oh my, Master York! You really came prepared, huh?”

    Ensley gritted her teeth; she knew exactly where Harvey got the 1.3 billion dollars from.

    “You got someone to call you on the phone, asking you to be the government’s chief consultant…

    “Then you get another person to pretend that you’re a billionaire?

    “Are you really that impressive?

    “If you are, why would you need to be someone else’s kept man? There’s no need for you to be a live- in son-in-law!”

    Chapter 4694

    Harvey waved his hand, signaling for Xynthia to keep quiet. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Chiba.

    “What’s the goal of the convention, anyway?

    “If it’s just for the sake of showing off, I’m afraid that the things from the Island Nations are completely unworthy.

    “If you’re using the opportunity to take away my country’s priceless relics, then I’m sorry, but I have to decline.

    “Not just that, I’ll even contact the government of Golden Sands to stop this from happening.

    “You’ll have to send a plan to me tomorrow.

    “I’ll take a look at it before deciding how to solve the problem.”

    Harvey’s expression was grim.

    If it was just any ordinary convention, he wouldn’t be bothered to care. But if the Islanders had other motives, then he’d promptly take action.

    “You want a plan? To see how you can solve the problem?”

    The people couldn’t help laughing again.

    They were looking at Harvey as if he was a total idiot.

    ‘Young Master Chiba’s only saying that to ridicule him!

    ‘And what happened after that?

    ‘Forget having any self-awareness, but he’s even asking for a plan!

    ‘What, does he think that Young Master Chiba would actually ask for his help?!

    ‘He talks like he’s actually in control of the government!

    ‘I’ve never seen such an oblivious man in my entire life!’

    Xynthia’s face went bright red, and she dragged Harvey back.

    “Let’s head home, Harvey. This place isn’t for us…” she said.

    “Oh, my! Thank you for your concern, Master York.

    “Judging from your speech, you must be the chief consultant for the government’s geomancy arts!

    “I should really send a plan to you, huh?”

    Chiba cackled, then looked at the people behind him.

    “Come on, let’s take a picture with Master York and make some memories!

    “We’ve never seen such an impressive figure in our entire lives!

    “We should ask Master York for help if anything happens to us in the future!

    “This is our chance!

    “All hail Master York!”

    Chiba pretended to praise Harvey with his arrogant friends with a simple goal: to humiliate him completely.

    The beautiful women looked at Harvey with disgust.

    ‘Men like these are ruining the country’s reputation completely!

    ‘Islanders are way more handsome, anyway…

    Voom, voom, voom!

    Harvey’s phone vibrated at that very moment. He glanced at the phone briefly and picked up the call, but it wasn’t clear what the person on the other end said. There was strong wind, so the signal was very bad.

    After yelling into the phone a few times, he turned on the speakers.

    A dignified voice could be heard.

    “Harvey! It’s me, Eliel!

    “The higher-ups from the government and I had a meeting just now. We’ve decided to nominate you as the chief consultant for the government’s geomancy arts.

    “Are you interested?”

    ‘Eilel Braff? The government’s first-in- command?!’

    The crowd fell into a pin-drop silence.

    Chapter 4693

    “A insignificant shop owner like you has 1.3 billion dollars?

    “If that’s actually the case, everyone in Golden Sands would’ve been billionaires by now!

    “Hahaha!”

    Chiba and the others laughed their stomachs off, as they disdainfully glared at Harvey.

    ‘A geomancy expert!’

    ‘He’s just a lackey for the rich and powerful!’

    ‘If he wants to survive, he’ll have to lick the boots of his betters!’

    These people had never heard of such an impressive geomancy expert.

    If that were the case, Harvey would’ve been Golden Sands’ top expert-no, maybe even the entire country. They would’ve known him with just a single glance.

    Chiba was especially disgusted as he glared at Harvey.

    ‘Does he think he’s from the royal families?

    1.3 billion dollars? It’s still daylight! Is he dreaming already?’

    “Hold on, everyone. I just remembered that there are a few well-known onmyojis with that kind of money!”

    The young man pretended to remember something to butter up Harvey.

    “Looks like Sir York here is on par with them!

    “He must be the best geomancy expert in the entire country!

    “Well then, I have to apologize for all this!

    “Please take care of me in the future!”

    Everyone burst out laughing when they heard those words.

    The young man was just hilarious to them.

    At this point, he was blatantly disrespecting Harvey.

    “Ramon! How could you disrespect him like that, even after knowing that he’s the top geomancy expert?”

    Chiba looked as if he was lecturing his lackey.

    “If he gets angry, he’ll curse you to death!”

    “I understand ! I understand!” Ramon kept bowing, “I’ll do my best to serve Master York. He won’t kill me, I’m sure of it!”

    His attitude made everyone laugh louder.

    The women’s disdain for Harvey grew even more.

    “Right, Master York. Since you’re the top geomancy expert of Country H, you must be quite proficient with geomancy tools and antiques.”

    Chiba approached Harvey, his champagne glass in hand.

    “Aside from inspecting Country H’s entertainment industry, I came here to invest in a convention focused on cultural relics on behalf of my family.

    “I wanted to invite a few of the Island Nations’ onmyojis to help…

    “But since you’re this talented, I should just invite you instead.

    “As long as you show up as the convention’s chief geomancy expert, I’ll give you ten percent of the convention’s profits.

    “Well? Are you in?”

    The wealthy women, who held their wine glasses in hand, were laughing their stomachs off after hearing Chiba’s words.

    ‘He’s so mean!’

    ‘I can’t believe he’d bring out the convention ! He’s dead set on humiliating that man!’

    “Let’s go home, Harvey!” Xynthia suddenly said.

    She was getting quite angry. She thought that Chiba was crossing the line, and that he had no manners at all.

    “Let me tell you something! People from Country H have no right to compete against us nobles from the Island Nations!”

    The man was clearly from Country H as well, but he was glaring at Harvey so arrogantly, it was as if he was working for the Islanders.

    “Even if you have 1.3 billion dollars, you still wouldn’t have the right to challenge Young Master Chiba!

    “Hell, you don’t look like you have fifteen dollars on you, let alone 1.3 billion!

    “What are you thinking?

    “Xynthia’s a pure goddess! Do you think you’re worthy to have her?

    “Can you feed her?

    “Can you protect her?”

    The young man looked as if he was siding with reason. It was as if this was his only way to show his worth to his master.

    The rest were naturally there to suck up to Chiba.

    They began to laugh their stomachs off. The young man was right, after all.

    Since ancient times, beautiful women all belonged to the rich and powerful; poor sobs had no right to have them.

    Even if they ended up getting lucky, disastrous things would happen to those people. Families would end up destroying themselves, too.

    Harvey smiled. “I do have 1.3 billion, though.”

    Ensley laughed coldly.

    “How dare you say that?

    “You’re saying that a kept man and a conman like you has that kind of money?

    “If that’s actually the case, I’ll let you take care of me!”

    Harvey glared at Ensley. “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in immoral women like you.”

    Harvey’s words were enough to make Ensley’s face go dark. ‘How dare this bastard insult me!’

    “You have the money, kid?

    “Let me tell you something! Three generations of my family fought for dozens of years, scrounging for food from the Island Nations’ royalty to get just a few million dollars!

    “This was thirty years of my life!

    “And yet, you’re telling me you have a billion? How impressive!

    “Young people who have that kind of money in Country H are either from the top ten families or the five hidden families, right?

    “I wonder which family are you from, Sir York?”

    The young man looked at Harvey disdainfully. Everyone could tell he was just ridiculing Harvey.

    ‘He probably has never seen fifteen dollars before, let alone that kind of money!

    ‘Does he even know what that much money means?

    ‘What a joke!’

    “I’m not from the top ten families, nor am I from the five hidden families.”

    Harvey smiled calmly.

    “I’m just the owner of Fortune Hall.”

    ‘What did he just say?’

    Everyone rolled their eyes.

    The women were filled with disdain when they heard Harvey confirm that he was just a con man.

    ‘A conman with 1.3 billion? Are you kidding me?’

    ‘He’s going to bite the dust if he keeps bluffing like this!’

    Xynthia felt a little awkward after hearing Harvey’s words.

    She had been to Fortune Hall before. She would believe Harvey if he said that the place was worth fifteen million…but it did seem a little absurd for him to say that it was worth 1.3 billion.

    Ensley’s expression changed. She suddenly remembered that Harvey and Kade managed to sell the Augustea gem, which by itself was worth billions of dollars.

    Even so, she couldn’t just admit that fact and embarrass Chiba.
