Chapter 5297
Right as Blaine John left with the badge, Harvey York resumed his job as a geomancy expert at the Fortune Hall.
Castiel Foster was already panicking since he was the only one tending to the customers.
With Harvey back, the morale of the entire place was instantly raised again.
After three days of peace and quiet, Kade Bolton showed a horrible expression when he came to the Fortune Hall from Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters.
“This is bad, Sir York,” he said, quickly walking towards Harvey.
“It’s only normal for something to happen in the city now, right?
Harvey spoke while drawing up a talisman for a customer.
“Did someone challenge your family?”
Kade shook his head.
“No, but someone was looking to cause trouble to the Pagan family.”
Harvey froze. He quickly wiped his hand with wet wipes before leading Kade to the back.
“Tell me more.”
Harvey cut to the chase.
“There’s something you don’t know, Sir York. Other than having the biggest appraisal businesses in the city, the Pagan family also has an underground site for gambling stones.
“The place has been constantly ransacked for the past few days.
“Someone even managed to open twelve gems in one go and announced that there were no other good stones to gamble on.
“Two batches of stones from South Asia were completely unsalable because of this.
“The Pagan family lost at least a hundred and fifty million dollars.
“I heard that the trio who did this would do it again. If everything was to be expected, the Pagan family’s going to suffer again.”
Harvey pricked his ear.
“Why does the tactic seem familiar?”
Kade gave a sigh.
“This is exactly what we did previously to the John family.
“They’re not wrong to do something like this since it’s in the rules. We can’t do anything about this anyway.”
Harvey gave it some thought.
“Maybe not. I’ll go take a look.”
“Thank goodness for you, Sir York.”
Soon after, Harvey and Kade arrived at Archa Corporation.
After coming into Arlet Pagan’s office, the quirky yet charming lady seemed a little enervated.
But after seeing Harvey’s face, she instantly sprung up.
“You came here to see me, Harvey?”
Harvey gave a bitter chuckle.
“If I didn’t come, you wouldn’t have asked me for help now, would you?
“Talk. What’s going on with the stone gambling site?”
Arlet was stunned before fiercely glaring at Kade, who was standing behind Harvey. She immediately knew she was already sold out.
But since Harvey brought up the subject, she did not want to hide it either.
“The stone gambling site is one of the corporation’s biggest projects.
“Since we have legal documents for the site, countless people would come to spend their money here to gamble every single year.
“Every year, the family spends half of our earnings collecting stones and bringing them out in batches for the people at the gambling site.
“Because of the trouble that’s about to come to the city, we decided to bring out every stone we have in store.
“We separated the stones into three batches and made a major gambling event from them.
“The first batch did reel in a lot of money…”
