“What a handsome young talent you are, Max Truscott!“You can cripple Sir York with just one hand, you say?“Impressive! Truly impressive!“But have you first asked for my permission?”A voice echoed from outside the crowd.The entire crowd froze while turning their heads toward the direction of the sound.It was Kait Walker, the vice branch leader’s baby girl.Kait was currently in charge of Walker Corporation. Her status was immensely higher compared to Justin Walker.Many men were drooling on sight when they saw Kait clothed in a traditional dress.Her face that looked like a beautiful painting, along with the aura of a female CEO, had made quite a few women ashamed of themselves in her presence.June Lee and the others naturally knew who Kait was. As soon as she walked out, their eyes were all frantically twitching.“Welcome, Ms. Walker!”Max swiftly bowed while his eyes twitched.“Ms. Walker!”No matter how powerful Max was, he wouldn’t even dare to flex his strength

At eight o’clock, the appreciation banquet of Mordu’s Longmen branch had officially started. The people that gathered outside were entering the hall in an orderly fashion.Hazel Malone and her family took a few deep breaths and composed themselves from the shock.After all, a kept man was simply not worth their time.That night, the most important event was to meet the talented young man, the branch leader himself.That man was at the peak of all big characters within Mordu’s Longmen branch and among the new upstart of Mordu’s upper social circle.If the family could get that man’s attention and be in his good graces, the family’s benefits would be beyond their wildest imagination.Hazel had regained her pride entirely after thinking about this.She was excited, hoping that her life would turn around when she would get noticed by the branch leader.After Harvey York and Kait Walker came into the main venue, they went inside the changing room and got Harvey changed into a suit t

Harvey York stopped in his tracks and glanced at Hazel Malone indifferently.“You need something?”Hazel stood up and glared at Harvey with a smug look on her face.“We’re childhood sweethearts at any rate, Harvey, but you really disappoint me today!”Harvey froze. He didn’t expect that Hazel would even say such a thing.“You’re disappointed? That’s funny coming from you, Hazel,” exclaimed Harvey after he chuckled.“You talk like you were even hopeful about me.“Besides, didn’t we break all ties with each other already?“What I do doesn’t have anything to do with any of you, does it?”Hazel’s expression turned cold soon after.“You’re a man! You have decent looks! Why would you even consider being a kept man?!“It’s fine if you’re someone’s live-in son-in-law, but you would even go as far as to be someone’s secret lover?! You’re shameless!”“Shameless? A kept man? Is this who I am to you?”Harvey was indifferent.“Are you not?!“If it weren’t for Kait Walker, how could y

“You need a lot of hard work to be someone else’s kept man, Harvey York!“How long do you think it can last?!“You look real glamorous now, but it’s all just an illusion!“Once she’s done with you, you’ll just get kicked aside!”Hazel Malone thought Harvey’s pride and dignity were crushed entirely after the barrage of insults.Hazel sighed.“I’m done talking. You better know what’s good for yourself!”“Hazel’s words are hard to swallow, but it’s all for your own good!“Good advice can be hard to receive!” said Kelly bitterly.“You have to take responsibility for your missing parents!”“That’s right! If your parents knew that their dear son turned into someone’s kept man, they’d crawl right out of their coffins in anger!” exclaimed June Lee with an odd tone.Harvey’s gaze immediately turned cold. He glared at June with a scornful look on his face. In the end, he decided not to kick June out from the banquet for Kelly’s sake.After taking a deep breath, Harvey coldly replied,

Justin’s announcement stunned the audience, but only for a brief moment. They quickly returned to their senses and began to applaud vigorously to welcome the new branch leader. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the stage with great anticipation.Harvey smiled. Slowly, he spun around and made his way to the stage with his hands folded elegantly behind his back. Initially, Hazel and her cohorts had already taken their seats. When she saw Harvey was heading to the stage, however, shock took over her. She rose and screamed, “Harvey! What do you think you’re doing?”Harvey was indifferent. He simply said, “Since everyone wants to see me, I’ll have to go up and say hello to them.”“See you?” Hazel was stunned for a brief while. A derisive smile then appeared on her face. “Harvey, the person everyone wants to see is the new branch leader. What on earth are you going up there for?”“Are you that addicted to acting like a big shot? Did you actually see yourself as the new branc

The Malone family were frozen on the spot, stunned beyond belief.Unspeakable regret suddenly surged in their heart, crashing on them like a great tidal wave as they watched Harvey calmly entering the stage.Harvey…A grassroot in business who came to them for help, a useless live-in son-in-law, a fool who relied on them to survive in Mordu. Or so they thought. And then there was the branch leader of Longmen, Mordu, Branch Leader York.A powerful man who could do as he pleased, with impressive combat prowess second to none! How could such two different people end up being the same person?!Never in their wildest dreams could the Malones imagine this.

Hazel was stunned for a short moment, failing to understand what her mother meant.Seeing her daughter’s confused look, June then explained softly, “Have you heard of Oliver Bauer, the former branch leader of the branch of Mordu’s Longmen?”“He’s a man with incredible power and influence!”“But, in the end? I heard that he was hacked to death when he was in Buckwood! His grave’s already filled with wild grass now, don’t you know?”“Stop thinking that Harvey’s very powerful. Since he’s holding the position of branch leader, it also means that he’ll be facing a lot of danger!”“He’s above us now, but soon, we might be the ones climbing higher than him!”“We’re already in Mordu’s upper circle! Since Harvey’s just entered all of a sudden, I’m pretty sure he’ll have problems gaining a foothold in the upper circle!”“One more thing, Hazel! Currently, you are the number one influencer on Durin!”“You might become a major star within a year and a half, at most!”“When that happens, yo
