Anna sneered. “If you don’t have money, just admit it. Stop being stubborn!”“Don’t tell me you ordered a takeaway for about a few dollars and say they’re dumplings from Chenghuang Temple.”“We ate the dumplings at a party before. You can deceive the people who don’t know the goods. What’s the point of acting in front of us?”Anna shot Harvey a mocking glare. This guy was not only a live-in son-in-law, but also an ignorant hillbilly!He had no skills whatsoever, but he still pretended to be better than others.What was he thinking?Hailey also looked disdainful. She couldn’t be bothered to talk to Harvey.Just sitting at Harvey’s opposite was embarrassing enough! Harvey, on the other hand, stared at these two wannabes and their sophisticated act, and wanted nothing but to slap them in the face.When he thought of Yvonne, he suppressed his annoyance and remained composed. “Let’s get down to business.”“How is Yvonne now?”“Has her freedom been restricted?”“It’s fine if sh
With this in mind, Hailey said, “Cousin Yvonne doesn’t have any problems.”“She just doesn’t want to see you. Don’t you understand what I mean after listening for so long?”“Do I have to be so blunt?”“Anyway, she’s completely fine. Go back to where you came from and don’t ever return. Then everything will be better!”“Take the money and leave! If this isn't enough, I’ll give you more!”Hailey had a sincere expression on her face, but the sarcasm between the words remained unabated.Harvey’s eyes grew cold. He said indifferently, “Don’t make me repeat myself. Either you tell me what happened to Yvonne and what problems she’s having…” “Or I’ll go to the Smith family to find out for myself.”“You…” Seeing that Harvey still retained this attitude after she had been talking for so long, Hailey grew so infuriated that she lost her appetite.Anna sneered again., “You want to know about Yvonne’s situation? You want to visit the Smiths?”“Are you worthy?”“Also, so what if you kno
Young Master York?!Gaozu dumplings?!The whole crowd was slightly taken aback after hearing the words. All of them were a little dumbfounded.Everyone watched as a short-haired beauty pushed the insulation cart carefully, took out a steamer, and placed it in front of Harvey.There were only four dumplings in the steamer. Despite looking very ordinary, they exuded an unspeakable aroma.People who weren’t ignorant would immediately know it after smelling the aroma. These were the legendary Gaozu dumplings!Normally, people who wanted to eat one had to wait in line for at least three to five years!Even if they came from a wealthy family, they couldn’t eat it whenever they wanted!The fact this man had someone bring in the Gaozu dumplings with the steamer was certainly enough to explain his identity!Harvey glanced faintly at the woman pushing the cart. It was Yona.He just sent a message casually last night without thinking much of it. He never expected that this woman would a
Yona nodded curtly as a greeting to everyone. Her indifferent gaze fell on Hailey and Anna.“Why? Did I look like an errand girl?”Her voice wasn’t too loud, but both Hailey and Anna’s bodies instantly softened in fear. They almost limp on the ground.“N-no, no, no…”“We’re the ones who run errands! Us!”Hailey replied, her expression troubled.Anna was also trembling. “Miss Lynch, it’s our fault. We offended you. Please forgive us!”Yona glanced at her faintly and ignored her. She then turned around and placed the chopsticks for Harvey. She smiled and said, “Young Master York, these Gaozu dumplings are best matched with the soy from the Southern City. I have prepared one for you.”“Try and see if it suits your taste. If it doesn’t work, we’ll change it.”After that, Yona respectfully poured Harvey a cup of soy milk.“This…”Everyone’s eyes twitched as they watched this scene unfold before them.Yona wasn’t like this in the past. However, she was serving the hillbilly with
Following Harvey’s signal, the two arrogant women quickly left.The impact Harvey gave them was unimaginable. They had to digest it before passing his words to Yvonne.Hailey decided that today’s affairs mustn’t be reported to the Smith family. Instead, she had to keep it a secret for Harvey so as to befriend him. In this way, she would have the opportunity to use Harvey to move up into higher positions in the future.Even in an instant, she had already thought of several ways for Harvey and Yvonne to meet.Yona gave a signal only after the two women had left.A group of bodyguards quickly emptied the restaurant.Someone brought a wooden box to Yona and Harvey. Inside lay a long sword.Seeing Harvey’s puzzled eyes, Yona smiled and said, “This sword is a gift to the hero. It is an ancient artifact from hundreds of years ago. It was treasured by my godfather for many years. Please accept it. Take it as a token of our appreciation.”“Alright, thank you.”Harvey instantly accepted
Something had happened to Benjamin’s wife.Yona didn’t explain much and left after apologizing to Harvey.After thinking about it, Harvey decided to follow her and take a look at the situation.After all, he had received two impressive gifts from them. That, and Benjamin’s previous situation was related to the Island Nation’s onmyoji.He suspected that it probably had something to do with Benjamin’s wife.Yona had no objection to Harvey's willingness to help. For her, Harvey was already an omnipotent person.An hour later, they arrived at a manor at the foot of Purdue Mountain.This manor was backed by mountains and the sea. Its feng shui was excellent. Just by looking at it, people would feel comfortable and refreshed.“This manor was an old prince’s courtyard. It has a history of more than a hundred years.”“Godfather and Godmother enjoy silence. They’ve been living here since they came to Mordu.”“Historically, this place used to be the Island Nation’s embassy. A lot of th
Harvey didn’t speak anymore. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the entire manor.Following Yona’s lead, Harvey and his entourage arrived at the front hall of the manor.There was a sedan H9 with a license plate of Mordu 00001 in the front hall, which was enough to explain Benjamin’s identity.Harvey had guessed for a long time, but he still lamented how small the world was after confirming Benjamin’s identity.Yona was slightly surprised to see the car. “Godfather is also back.”“He had gone to Wolsing at first, but it seemed that he came back as soon as possible after receiving the news.”Harvey nodded, saying nothing.The place was heavily guarded. There were many bodyguards with live ammunition, and a few of them were part of the King of Arms from the military.With Benjamin’s identity and special status in Mordu as well as the great Country H, it was only to be expected.“I wonder if there are people of the Dragon Guards in the dark.”Harvey murmured.There w
Benjamin smiled helplessly at Yona’s attitude. He then glanced at Timothy and said, “You too. Yona’s worried about her godmother, and just so happened to speak a little louder. Why do you have to be so stern with her?”Timothy’s eyelids twitched. He then nodded and said, “I know, Brother-in-law.”“How about I invite Yona to dinner tonight and make amends with her?”Yona refuted coldly, “No need.”“I’m having dinner with Young Master York tonight.”“Young Master York?” Timothy’s eyes fell on Harvey after Yona spoke. A strange light flashed briefly through his eyes.However, Yona was already looking at Benjamin. Before Timothy could say anything, Yona said, “Godfather, I happened to meet Young Master York today, so I brought him here to take a look at our situation.”“Didn’t Young Master York help us to solve a problem before? I think he might have a solution.”Benjamin nodded at Harvey. He stepped forward with a smile and said, “Young Master York, it’s very kind of you.”He was
