Chapter 5199
The sound seemed to echo the sense of a young lady’s excitement and intimacy, invigorating a man’s primal instincts.
Harvey York frowned as he flicked his finger. An invisible wave of air opened the door instantly.
Creak!
A horrible shriek echoed, ruining the mood and stopping the sound of the harp.
Harvey walked in, crossing his arms.
Silk cloths were hung all over the place, showing only parts of the room.
At the same time, at least a hundred candles were lit around the place, making it an incredibly romantic sight.
A woman leaned on a harp with her shoulders exposed. Her pitiful gaze was locked onto Harvey as if she was sad that he did not understand the charm of the scene.
It was Alani Carlson!
That said, she was acting totally out of character.
A sense of gentleness replaced the harsh attitude she had.
“You’re finally back.
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Please, eat up.”
Alani smiled the moment she saw Harvey.
Exquisite meals from Island Nations filled the entire table.
Sushi, sashimi, and tempura were neatly placed to please the eye.
Other than that, a hint of sake fragrance wafted in the air, stimulating a person’s appetite.
Good food and drinks, with a beautiful woman to be accompanied with…
And yet Harvey was not fazed by the sight at all.
He casually found a place to sit as he crossed his legs.
“What’s the play tonight, Ms. Alani?
“Did you stumble here by mistake after drinking too much? Or are you insane enough to think that I’m that kind of person?”
Alani huffed.
“You really are so unromantic, Sir York.
“I’ve been waiting for you for so long. I’ve made all this food from my country just for you, yet you’re already ridiculing me without even taking a single bite.
“That’s very unrefined of you, you know…”
Harvey scoffed. He was not even fazed by the trap before him.
“Just cut to the chase. What are you trying to do?
“I’ll make this clear. I’m not interested in touching anything in front of me right now.
“I’m not that bold after all!
Alani lightly chuckled.
“As expected from an extraordinary man like you!
“I came with sincerity in place of the Way of Water.
“As long as you agree, we’d support your rise to power in Heaven’s Gate! You’ll replace Layton Surrey as the new leader!
“Other than that, we’ll get you an offshore account in
Switzerland with a million dollars inside!
“A million dollars! Many people wouldn’t even get that kind of money after working their entire lives!
“As for me, I’ll also naturally stay as your good friend…”
Harvey gave out a chuckle.
“Those are a lot of benefits. What do I have to pay for them?
“The mental cultivation technique?
“If that’s all you want, all I can say is the Way of Water’s pretty narrow-minded!”
Alani smiled.
“I won’t lie to you, Sir York. I did come for the technique in the beginning…
“After seeing your strength, I understood better just how powerful the technique actually was.”
