Master Ziegler pinched his fingers and counted them. After that, he let out a grave sigh.“No wonder. Master Lynch, I do not know what your manor is used for or the history behind it…”“But I feel the presence of a resentful spirit within these parts. Someone must’ve died here in vain.”“Lady Lynch is a woman. Her body is frail, and she is filled with feminine energy. She must’ve touched the host of the evil influence by accident, or got too close to it. As a result, she was cursed and became possessed. ”Master Ziegler spoke with utmost certainty, as though he was passing true and righteous judgement.“Is that so?”Benjamin was enlightened.“Then, Master Ziegler, is there any way we can get rid of this evil?”“Of course! Please hold on for a moment, Master Lynch.”Master Ziegler closed his eyes. His body began to sway slowly and he chanted some mysterious prayers. He started to flail around his peach-wood sword. After a while, he pointed it toward a secluded corner at the b
A forced surrender!Master Ziegler was obviously forcing Harvey to surrender.Though Benjamin looked up to Harvey, he was more worried about his wife than anyone else.Benjamin could only sigh at that moment.“Sir York, you can see my wife’s condition. She was indeed cursed.”“We’ll leave it to Master Ziegler. Please, show me some respect and don’t speak any more.”“Did you hear that?!” Timothy loathed Harvey. He quickly followed up on Benjamin’s words and deliberately struck a verbal blow on Harvey.“Only specialized professionals know how to deal with metaphysics and geomancy. An outsider like you should stop butting in! If you chase Master Ziegler away, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”Harvey replied calmly, “But Lady Lynch isn’t cursed at all. Her body’s under a malicious incantation.”“Her being able to sleep this soundly is not due to Master Ziegler’s efforts. Incantations are the most powerful during evenings. Whoever caused this is most likely storing pow
Harvey nodded, then turned around and left without saying another word.Seeing him leave, Yona hurriedly followed him.Timothy watched her with a frustrated expression. He had unspeakable feelings for Yona. He wouldn’t allow any other man to get close to Yona, especially Harvey……Outside the Lynch Residence, Harvey called a cab and was about to leave the area. Yona swiftly ran over and apologized quietly.“I’m sorry, Sir York. My godfather is only blinded by his worries. I didn’t quite believe Master Ziegler either, but…”“One more thing…”Harvey shook his head to dissuade Yona from apologizing. “Master Ziegler might have a bit of talent, but incantations are man made. I couldn’t figure out why someone would do this, but whoever the culprit is, he or she has been planning this for a long time. I doubt they're only targeting your godmother.”“The culprit would most likely use your godmother to kill your godfather, so prepare yourself accordingly as soon as you can.”After
Harvey looked calmly at Timothy, not at all perturbed. “I’m not fighting you for a woman.”Timothy flashed Harvey a prideful smirk at Harvey’s words. He thought that Harvey’s words were a sign of submission, and that Harvey was now under his control. But before he could even reply, Harvey continued.“You don’t have the right to fight me, nor are you worthy.”“I’m not worthy?!”Timothy froze, stunned. A second later, he roared with disdainful laughter.“Harvey York, do you think that you’re some sort of big shot?”“Do you think that tricking my brother-in-law into liking you would gain you some measure of authority around here? Do you think you can look down on me because of this?”“Yes, my brother-in-law did like you. He even allowed Yona to take care of you then. But do you really think you have any more value in his eyes after the earlier incident?”“Let me tell you right now! Even if I break all of your limbs, he wouldn’t even care!”“To me, you’re just filth that failed to
A loud boom followed suit.Timothy was sent flying, landing right on one of the cars parked nearby. The headlights of the car shattered completely as his body crashed into the car.Blood leaked out of Timothy’s forehead. The cigar that he was dangling around fell on the ground.Hissssss!Harvey did not stop there. He picked the cigar off the ground, then pressed it right onto Timothy’s bleeding forehead.“Aaaaaaaargh!”Timothy screamed in pain, the sound like a pig being slaughtered.The cigar was extremely hot, perhaps around two hundred degrees hot. If Timothy did not scream, he would not be human.Timothy’s entire body twitched in agony. He subconsciously looked up, trying to move away from the bright red tip of the cigar.But right as he moved his head up, Harvey stuffed the cigar right into his mouth.Timothy’s cries of pain rang louder than ever.The entire crowd fell into stunned shock.Everyone was dumbfounded. Nobody expected that Harvey had the guts to torture Tim
Timothy was neither a prince nor a master, but his sister was too kind and spoiled him rotten.That was why he had the gall to blatantly use Benjamin’s name and flaunt his authority everywhere and anywhere he wanted. He even wanted to make Yona his.When outsiders tried to show off in Mordu, Timothy would spare them no mercy and crushed every single one of them.Not long ago, a few arrogant young masters from wealthy families in Wolsing wanted to fight Timothy for a woman. Yet they all ended up in humiliating defeat.Who was Timothy?Who did he need to fear?!Yet, a stinking hillbilly actually kicked him down to the ground and beat him up.Timothy was frothing with anger.This hillbilly had beaten up so much without a care for the terrible consequences. Not only that, he arrogantly added that Timothy was allowed to call whoever any of his cronies.Timothy was so angry, he stopped feeling the pain in his injured body. He and his followers hurriedly made phone calls.Harvey,
“Consequences?!”Harvey laughed, unperturbed.“Weren’t the consequences just you getting kicked and slapped?”“You bastard! You’re still being this arrogant even at this point?!”“Let me warn you right now! I even invited Longmen’s Young Master Aiden Bauer here! Let’s see if your attitude will stay the same when he arrives!”Timothy was enraged. He could not stand the fact that a stupid hillbilly dared to go against him to this degree.Harvey smiled.“Is that so?”“Unfortunately, Aiden will disappoint you.”Boom!Right as the two were still in the middle of talking, a row of dark green Toyota Land Cruisers drove over at a steady speed. The sight was quite shocking to everyone present.The Land Cruisers sped to the center of the road and stopped right in front of Timothy.The sound of the car doors being kicked open followed suit. Eighteen fierce looking men in suits appeared. Their waists seemed packed, obviously full of firearms. They carried menacing auras that were leagu
Those who were unaware of the whole story glared at Harvey, full of disdain.The women bore looks of utter loathing, despising Harvey to their cores. To them, Harvey was oblivious as to what his limits were.“You bastard! How dare you go against me, Aiden Bauer? Don’t you know that…”Aiden was filled with rage, and took a furious step forward to get a closer look at Harvey. The next moment, the two locked gazes.The insufferably arrogant Aiden Bauer fell into a spiral of terror the second he had a good look at Harvey’s face.He was thunderstruck. For a brief moment, his mind blanked. He never thought that his new boss was the so-called outsider everyone was talking about.“Sir…York…”Aiden’s body went limp along with his two feet, subconsciously wanting to kneel.But as his left leg was covered by a cast, he could not. If it weren’t for the cast, he would’ve been on the ground in a matter of seconds.“Young Master Bauer! That’s him! Harvey York!”Timothy turned his head a
