    Chapter 4670

    The next day, Harvey showed up at Fortune Hall as usual.

    His reputation in the city had risen quickly, and his name became more and more well- known.

    Many prominent figures would always visit the hall to tell their fortune.

    Harvey couldn’t be bothered to serve these people, but he had no choice. Anyway, he had to compromise for the sake of his mission.

    After running around till the afternoon, a group of people in robes entered.

    These people carried terrifying auras, but they quickly held themselves back as soon as they came here, as if to show respect.

    Darwin and his daughter Shay were leading the group.

    Harvey glared at them and signaled for them to sit, then went back to his work.

    “Are you busy, Master York?”

    Darwin gave Harvey a fawning smile. It was completely different from his high and mighty attitude in the past.

    “We’ll come back later if you are!”

    He pulled Shay aside, and they sat on the couch while waiting quietly for Harvey.

    Shay, who was quite an arrogant person, sat obediently in place like her father. Her hateful gaze in the past was gone, replaced by admiration.

    Harvey didn’t bother to talk to them. After he was done with work, he invited the two to a meal.

    Leona went outside that day. Since Cliff was the one cooking, only simple foods were being made.

    That said, Darwin and Shay were overwhelmed when they took every single bite.

    “I’m sorry, Darwin. I don’t really have anything fancy to greet you with.”

    Harvey told Castiel to bring Darwin a cup of tea, then smiled at Darwin.

    “Maybe I should treat you to a big meal tonight instead.”

    Darwin quickly shook his head.

    “You’re too kind, Master York! I came of my own volition. I should be treating you to a meal instead! If you’re interested, I’ll arrange it tonight!”

    Harvey smiled; he was just being polite. He didn’t need the meal in the first place.

    “Alright. Now that we’re done with our meal, why don’t you tell me why you’re here?”

    Harvey asked, smiling.

    Normally speaking, Darwin only needed to come back after a few weeks. After all, Harvey told him to come every month.

    “It’s nothing much, really.

    “Ever since you helped me, my body has mostly recovered. I don’t need my wheelchair anymore, and I’m back to being an expert again!”

    Naturally, Darwin had no intention of hiding anything since he understood how Harvey worked.

    “I came because I need your help with two things.

    “First off, I want to thank you for your generosity and kindness.

    “After you told me what to do, I managed to return my daughter to her normal state.

    “However, I don’t know how I can help her recover. I wanted to ask for your help.”

    Darwin was being incredibly polite.

    He even pulled out a check he had prepared beforehand, and placed it respectfully in front of Harvey.

    “It doesn’t matter how impressive Faceless is and how many people Evermore has.

    Judging from the country’s situation, they aren’t able to just launch attacks with impunity.

    “Their resources are limited, too.

    “With what Faceless has right now, he can’t even compare to his peak while he was in Golden Sands.

    “The assassination attempts are probably all he has left.

    “Against the Patel family and the six Hermit Families, he’s probably on his last legs.

    “If he goes against us for a few more weeks, Evermore will probably decide to get rid of him. We won’t even need to do anything.

    “No matter how impressive Evermore is, they won’t allow themselves to keep losing.

    “Blaine looks like he’s doing all this for the city…

    “But if you think about it, it’s obvious he’s picking a side right now.”

    Harvey was pleased; all his effort to lure out Blaine finally started to pay off. Blaine wasn’t able to hold himself back anymore, and was finally showing his tail.

    “I expect no less from you, Sir York.”

    Kairi flashed him an alluring smile.

    “Our side gathered together to discuss this an entire night before reaching the same conclusion.

    “And you did the same in just a single conversation.

    “After a few more assassination attempts, Faceless will probably be out of tricks.

    “Since Blaine is coming out, the top ten families’ words represent the country’s elite.

    “We have no choice but to show Blaine our respect.

    “After some discussion, we decided to go along with the fights.

    “I’d like to see how Faceless will stir up trouble after we take out every single one of his lackeys.”

    Harvey nodded. “So when does the fight start?”

    “A week later, at the Heaven’s Gate’s Budokan. Victory will be settled by life-or- death matches,” Kairi replied.

    Harvey thought about the situation. “Do you have enough fighters? Maybe I can help.”

    Kairi shook her head.

    “You don’t have to worry about that.

    “To ensure the city’s stability, and to keep the secrets of the Hermit Families and the Patel family hidden, we will all do this together.

    “Experts from all around are rushing back as we speak.

    “Even Quill’s planning to take action. He’ll fight in the ring if he has to.

    “With him there, Faceless wouldn’t be able to do much about the situation!”

    Kairi smiled faintly; she was naturally quite confident in the plan.

    Seeing her smile, Harvey frowned.

    He understood full well how prominent figures like Faceless thought. People like him wouldn’t ask for such a condition without preparing themselves beforehand.

    Kairi and the rest were being far too optimistic!

    They’d all fall if they weren’t careful!

    Without hesitating, Harvey sent a text abroad, then sent another to George.

    Time was of the essence; he’d need help from two different sides to figure out the situation.

    Almost at the same time, inside the Zimmer family’s villa.

    Lilian was moping.

    Suddenly, her phone started to vibrate.

    “What?” Lilian exclaimed in joy. “Young Master Blaine’s coming back to Golden Sands?”

    “What do you mean by that?”

    Harvey frowned.

    He could tell that there was another meaning in Kairi’s words. Quite a lot must have happened recently.

    “To prevent Blaine from suspecting your skills and true purpose, there’s something I’ve been hiding from you.

    “In reality, many major things have been happening behind the scenes.”

    Kairi had no intention of hiding anything anymore. She pulled out her flask and poured a cup of black tea for Harvey, smiling.

    “The Hermit Families have been going against Faceless for quite a while.

    “He found himself quite a few experts to assassinate the families, too.

    “I suspect he’s involved with what happened to the Braff family.

    “But since you managed to deal with it swiftly, that means you’ve foiled his plans.

    “You’ll be under Faceless and Blaine’s scrutiny from now on. So, there’s no point in hiding anything from you anymore.”

    Harvey smiled.

    “I see.

    “So you guys just sat still while he kept sending assassins after you?”

    Kairi chuckled.

    “Of course not.

    “The ten Poison Masters under my belt have all taken action.

    “They disappeared completely after that, while Faceless remained completely unscathed.

    “Under such circumstances, it’s hard to get a conclusion for this battle.

    “Faceless announced that if he dies, he’d drag us with him.

    “After you dealt with the Braff family’s problem, we’ve decided to fight him to the death.

    “Golden Sands belongs to the Hermit Families. We must not let Evermore get his hands on the secrets of this city.”

    Harvey nodded. He wasn’t that well-versed in the city’s history, but judging from Kairi’s words, he could tell a lot of blood had been shed.

    “Did Blaine show himself yet?” he asked.

    “He did.” Kairi smiled playfully.

    “He made an announcement, saying that the crisis would affect Golden Sands’s economy and put the city in great danger. He even reached out to Wolsing, telling them to be careful.

    “He suggested we find a simple way to solve the situation.

    “He asked both sides to stop killing each other, as a way to show the John family respect.

    “He told us to settle this in the ring if we really want to win.

    “Whoever wins would have the right to speak.

    “If Faceless wins, he could make a strong comeback and make a place here for Evermore.

    “And if we win, he’ll undoubtedly die.”

    Kairi’s face went slightly red after seeing Harvey finish the tea she gave him. She was probably embarrassed at the thought of sharing an indirect kiss.

    Harvey smiled calmly; he didn’t grasp her thoughts, so he didn’t realize it.

    If he wanted to, he could’ve figured out Blaine’s plan with ease.

    But since he wanted to pretend to be a geomancy expert to lure Blaine out, he didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.

    “It seems as if Blaine’s standing out for the benefit of Golden Sands. He looks like he’s trying to suppress the chaos and keep the losses of the city to a minimum, but…

    “The cat’s already out of the bag. If you think about it properly, it’d be easy to figure out that he’s leaning on Evermore’s side,”

    Harvey said calmly.

    In Mr. Davis’s eyes, Harvey was clearly a very talented figure.

    He was convinced Harvey was leagues above him.

    At that very moment, he wasted no time kneeling. His knees slammed to the ground.

    “A good man never breaks his promise!

    “From now on, you’re my teacher!

    “Please! Entrust your wisdom to me!”

    Mr. Davis banged his head to the ground.

    Everyone behind him were stunned. They couldn’t even say a single word.

    After all, Mr. Davis was the youngest bishop of the Holy See. He was an intimidating being. Yet, he was kneeling in front of another man.

    ‘Wh… My God!’

    Nobody knew how to feel about the situation.

    Penny’s eyes twitched; after remembering the promise she made to Harvey, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward.

    “I was ignorant before, Harvey. From now on, I’ll…”

    “You’re too kind, Mr. Davis.”

    Before Penny could finish her sentence, Harvey immediately cut her off and lifted.

    Mr. Davis off the ground.

    “I have no right to be your master.

    “Mr. Braff, Director Braff, remember what I said.

    “I’ll be heading out now.”

    Harvey left without making much of a fuss.

    He didn’t want another woman in his life, let alone someone from the Jackson family. He wasn’t that desperate, anyway.

    After all, Penny had a high status.

    Together with her headstrong attitude, everything in Harvey’s life would be a living hell if Penny was involved.

    After walking out of the Braff family’s ancestral house, a Lamborghini that had been around slowly drove over and parked beside Harvey.

    The car window rolled down, revealing Kairi’s beautiful face.

    “Would you mind, Sir York?”

    Harvey smiled; he got inside the car and asked curiously, “How did you know I was here?”

    Kairi smiled back.

    “I got word that you were here to help the Braff family.

    “I’m sure that with your methods, you’ve managed to get it done by now.

    “The Braff family probably forgot to send such an esteemed guest away after such a hectic time.

    “I only came to do that in their place.

    “Are you pleased?”

    Harvey nodded; he was impressed by Kairi’s wit.

    He thought about the situation for a moment.

    “Other than you, the rest of the Hermit Families must’ve been looking into the situation as well, right? But because of their status, they wouldn’t want to let anyone know.”

    “That’s right. The six Hermit Families are always together, after all.

    “The other five would naturally get worried about the head being in trouble.

    “If any of them got involved, it’d cause an uproar. Thus, they asked an outsider like me to come in their stead.

    “Since you’ve dealt with the crisis, I should be congratulating you!

    “All six Hermit Families now owe you a big favor…”

    Chapter 4666

    Harvey put the drawing on the dinner plate, then hung it at where the portrait was before.

    “From now on, don’t let anyone in this place for three whole days.

    “Afterward, burn the drawing. Do that, and your family will be able to last for another hundred years.”

    Eliel was shocked, but then nodded.

    He felt his exhaustion disappear, together with the gloomy aura surrounding the house. He couldn’t be sure if the feeling was real, or if it was just a psychological effect.

    Nonetheless, the gloom from before was replaced by liveliness as if his family had received a second chance.

    Mr. Davis, who kept a close watch on Eliel, looked as if he had seen a ghost.

    “How? How is this possible?!”

    Penny was confused. “Is there a problem?”

    “No, not at all!” Mr. Davis exclaimed, filled with disbelief.

    “I could immediately tell that Mr. Braff was covered in gloom before.

    “The entire house, too.

    “But now, that’s completely gone!

    “This… This is simply godly!

    “This is insane!

    “What extraordinary power!”

    Mr. Davis didn’t want to believe it at first. He didn’t think what Harvey did was anything special.

    However, the truth proved otherwise.

    Harvey’s actions seemed so simple and boorish, but it was clearly effective. The situation Mr. Davis thought as complex was solved with ease.

    “How?! You need to tell me how you did it! I wouldn’t be able to sleep if you don’t!”

    He was on the verge of kneeling, just to know the mysterious answer to what Harvey had done.

    Penny and the others froze after seeing Mr.

    Davis acting that way.

    “It’s simple.”

    Harvey didn’t dislike Mr. Davis, so he had no intention to hide anything.

    “Geomancy arts are revolved around mystery.

    “It wouldn’t be absurd to call it metaphysics, either.

    “Since ancient times, Country H would usually associate the Royal Soul with the royal family.

    “Since the Braff family is no longer a part of the royal family, the Royal Soul is naturally unable to protect them any longer.

    “Speaking of, there is another legend that resides in the country.

    “A carp symbolizes a dragon’s birth.

    “The saying, ‘a fish leaping over a dragon’s gate’, is exactly that!”

    “If fish can turn into dragons, then it’d be the same the other way around!

    “When dragons turn into fish again, it symbolizes rebirth.”

    Harvey then glanced at the painting of the carp.

    “From now on, the Braff family will have to start over.

    “Despite that, they still have a strong background to help them with that.

    “Do you understand now?”

    “Rebirth?

    “Are you saying that this is similar to a phoenix rising from the ashes again?”

    Mr. Davis revealed a look of realization.

    “I see. I see now!

    “I didn’t think about that at all!

    “What a talented man you are, Master York!”

    Mr. Davis knew that despite Harvey’s simple explanation, burning the entire portrait and leaving the drawing of the carp wasn’t something an ordinary person could do.

    If it were Mr. Davis, he’d scorch the entire thing and left nothing in its wake.

    Had he done that, the Braff family would’ve been finished!

  • Harvey York’s Rise to Power Chapter 4665

    Chapter 4665

    Chapter 4665

    Eliel Braff was pondering the situation.

    “The Royal Soul?” Penny Jackson coldly exclaimed.

    “Do you think this is some kind of movie?!

    There’s no way everything’s as absurd as you claim!”

    In Penny’s mind, Harvey York’s words were no different than movie scripts, and she would be insane to believe such a thing.

    Mr. Davis thought about the situation before pulling out a crystal ball.

    That said, he could not see the Royal Blood with things like astrology arts.

    Harvey completely ignored the others when he quietly told Watson Braff something.

    Watson froze before he left.

    A few minutes later, he brought over an ancient steel plate used to burn offerings.

    “What’s this for?

    “You’re going to burn offerings for the ancestor’s forgiveness?

    “Are you people really into materialistic goods?”

    Mr. Davis and the people behind looked at each other.

    “Is this a joke?

    “What’s the point of us if you can just do something like that?”

    Penny’s face instantly darkened. If Harvey only pretended to deal with the situation by burning some offerings, she would not hesitate to send him flying with a single slap.

    “Light the fire, Director Braff.”

    Watson stepped forward when he pulled out a box of matches.

    Then, Harvey flicked his finger before a drop of blood landed in the middle of Atlas Braff’s head on the painting.

    ‘Aaagh!’

    A horrible shriek echoed in everyone’s minds! Truly a shocking situation!

    In front of everyone’s eyes, the once beautiful painting instantly carbonized.

    Next, Harvey tore the painting before throwing it onto the plate.

    Watson swiped his matchstick and dropped it onto the painting.

    Fwoom!

    The flame rose almost instantly. The tiny matchstick alone was able to create such a raging fire, as if the painting itself was roaring in resentment.

    Looking closely, the fire also resembled the shape of a dragon.

    “You b*stard! You’re destroying a sacred item!

    Penny was utterly stunned.

    “Do you know how much the painting means to the family?!

    “Do you know that this is considered a national treasure?!

    “Do you have any idea what are the consequences for doing such a thing?!”

    Penny wanted to slap Harvey in the face after she screamed in anger, but Eliel abruptly stopped her.

    The beautiful women were all showing pity before glaring at Harvey with disdain.

    In their eyes, the painting would have cost millions of dollars if sold at an auction.

    “The gloom’s gone?!”

    Mr. Davis frowned instantly.

    He looked around the place in shock. He realized the gloom that shrouded the entire house slowly dissipated, replaced by a sense of fresh energy.

    Then, he instinctively looked at Harvey.

    Harvey was holding out a fork and a dinner plate then.

    He twirled the fork around the metal plate before revealing an image from the remaining bits of the painting.

    It was a carp showing in the corner piece of the painting.

    Chapter 4664

    Harvey York lightly nodded.

    “That’s right.”

    “Good!”

    Eliel Braff burst out laughing, as if he had already decided.

    “Since you’re that confident, I’m willing to put the family’s fate in your hands!

    “Do as you wish, Harvey.”

    In Eliel’s eyes, he was more curious about Harvey, who seemed extremely confident in helping the family.

    Penny Jackson could not hold her feelings back when she realized Harvey managed to gain Eliel’s trust.

    “Grandpa Eliel…”

    Mr. Davis’ handsome face turned dark before he waved both his hands.

    “You can’t, Mr. Braff! You can’t!

    “You’ll be in deep trouble if you actually trust his conman!

    “Even I wouldn’t be able to deal with the mess when that happens!”

    “It’s already settled.

    Eliel smiled while crossing his arms.

    “How are you planning to deal with this, Harvey?

    “Are you going to tear this place down as well?”

    Penny coldly glared at Harvey.

    “If anything happens to the family, I’ll drag you down!

    “I’ll make your friends and family join you too!”

    Harvey completely ignored Penny when he squinted in the middle of the courtyard with a smile.

    “I don’t know what I’ll do yet, but I’m sure I’ll know soon enough.”

    Harvey stepped forward with his arms crossed.

    Eliel felt slightly confused, but he followed along without saying a word.

    Soon after, an ancient-looking main hall was seen.

    The decorations were quite old-school. It was obvious that they were all relics from the past. In the middle of the hall was a painting of a man in a robe.

    The man had an ugly hatchet face, but a natural sense of dominance resided in him.

    He was none other than the King of Poverty, Atlas Braff!

    The painting must have been passed down since ancient times.

    It was extremely rare to retain its original condition after hundreds of years of wear and tear.

    At this point, the painting was considered to be a national treasure.

    Harvey squinted at it for a long while before speaking.

    “The family’s problem lies in the painting, Mr. Braff…

    Eliel froze. He could not comprehend what Harvey meant.

    How could a mere painting even dictate the family’s history?

    “The person in the painting is an ancestor of the family, but he was also a king!

    “An expert must’ve done the realistic portrait of him. Not only does the portrait look completely life-like, but it also looks extremely grandeur!

    “I suspect that your ancestor put his blood into the painting for it to look this good…

    “Along with the hundreds of years’ worth of sacrifices for the royal family, the blood was infected by a particular thing, the Royal Soul.

    “The Royal Soul belongs to the royal family!

    “If the family’s dynasty were still around, it could protect the family for thousands of years.

    “That said, the dynasty’s already been gone for three hundred years.

    “Without the king’s support, the very thing that protects the family has turned into gloom.

    “Once the gloom dissipates, the family will be done for…”

    “A hundred percent?!

    “You’re that confident?!

    Penny Jackson immediately lashed out.

    “Can you stop bluffing already?!

    “You keep doing this; pigs will actually start to fly!

    “How dare you say you’re that confident ?!

    “You think this is a damn movie or something?!”

    After hearing Harvey York’s words, Watson Braff instinctively stepped forward.

    “I believe in Sir York!”

    He knew Harvey was a calm and resolute man.

    Since he said that he was confident, then that was nothing but the truth!

    “Not bad, young man!

    “At least I wasn’t this bold to trick people like this when I was around your age!

    Mr. Davis showed a disdainful glare as he stared at Harvey.

    “That said, you’d still have to show your strength no matter the case.

    “Pulling the crowd here will do you no good!

    “I’ll make it clear right now!

    “If you even manage to solve the problem, I’ll kneel and call you my master!”

    Naturally, Mr. Davis had a smooth sailing life for the longest time. His title as bishop of the Divine Prison also carried immense authority.

    Because of this, he would be able to deal with anything without much effort.

    His words would always be final.

    After hearing Harvey disrespect him by doubting his judgment, he was clearly getting irate about it.

    The beautiful and handsome people behind him showed disdain when they glared at Harvey.

    Since the Westerners were extremely straightforward people, they blatantly showed disgust.

    For them, the problem was something even Mr. Davis’ astrology arts could not deal with.

    A clown from the far east surely had no right to say otherwise.

    What a joke that would be!

    Penny coldly chuckled.

    “That’s right!

    “If you can deal with the Braff family’s problem, I’ll call you my brother!

    “I’ll do anything you ask me to!

    “I’ll even marry you if that’s what you want!

    “In any case, I’m yours if you resolve the situation!

    “But if you don’t, I’ll kill you right here, right now!”

    Naturally, Penny believed that Harvey was just causing trouble here.

    She was completely used to how the Westerners behaved. She did not hold back any of her feelings at that moment.

    Harvey felt speechless.

    ‘I’m not interested in a fierce lady like you at all…

    ‘Let alone for you to be mine!’

    Harvey could not be bothered with Penny. He turned around before looking at Eliel Braff.

    “Would you trust me, Mr. Braff?

    “If I do it, not only will I be able to get rid of the crisis, I’ll even breathe in new life for the family!

    “Of course, once I’m done, there’s still one more hurdle for the family to overcome…

    “But after that, I guarantee the family will stand for at least another hundred years!

    Eliel looked surprised.

    He had seen a lot of geomancy experts, but it was his first time seeing one this confident !

    It was safe to say that the young man was not just any ordinary person!

    The courage alone was enough to tell that he was different!

    “Are you serious, Harvey?

    “A hundred percent?” asked Eliel with a smile.

    Naturally, Watson Braff would not be able to accept that fact.

    The Braff family was the head of the Hermit Families. They had lasted six hundred years throughout history, yet they only had three months left to live…

    This was simply unbelievable!

    Eliel Braff was unnerved by the news.

    “Alright. Enough of this. We won’t need many people to help with the house anymore.

    “Watson, Mr. Davis went out of his way just to come here.

    “Give him twenty ounces of gold to show our sincerity.”

    Naturally, time is of the essence for Eliel.

    The Braff family needed to use their remaining three months to prepare themselves.

    If not, they would be doomed without knowing what were to happen.

    Judging from the current situation, turning the Braff family into an ordinary family was their only way out.

    Eliel understood this. He did not want to fight against the current anymore.

    Mr. Davis was smart. He obviously knew what was on Eliel’s mind.

    “Thank you, Mr. Braff!” he said with a bitter chuckle.

    “That said, I wasn’t of any help this time!

    “That’s why I can’t keep the gold.

    “Just treat this as a friendly visit.”

    Penny Jackson did not give up just yet.

    “Is there really no other way, Mr. Davis?

    “The Braff family can’t fall!”

    Penny knew the Jackson family would probably be dragged down as well if the Braff family collapsed.

    After all, the Hermit Families were all tied together! They would most likely share a common fate!

    “Destroying the courtyard is the only way I can think of right now! I’d need an entire month to prepare for this as well!

    “Other than that, there is no other solution!”

    exclaimed Mr. Davis, looking terrible.

    Penny immediately went silent.

    With the Braff family’s size, they would surely use their remaining time to prepare instead of making such a huge gamble.

    Harvey York suddenly walked out when the atmosphere was extremely tense.

    “I can deal with this, Mr. Braff,” said Harvey, looking at Eliel.

    Penny showed a cold expression before speaking.

    “Can you stop spouting nonsense right now?!

    “Even Mr. Davis isn’t that confident about this!

    “And yet you’re telling me that you are?!

    “What kind of sick joke is this?!”

    Mr. Davis smiled playfully.

    He had been around the world. He had seen quite a number of conmen in his life.

    Typically speaking, people like these would not even dare let out a squeak before him.

    But seeing Harvey running his mouth without any fear piqued his interest.

    He had already heard of many mysterious prominent figures in the far east…

    But Harvey did not look like one at all!

    Eliel curiously glanced at Harvey.

    “How confident are you in saving the family, Harvey?”

    Harvey’s calm words were enough to shock everyone there.

    “A hundred percent!”
