“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. No matter how much they tried, they couldn’t link these two personas together. It was inconceivable.Yet, reality had made a big joke out of them!The Harvey that they constantly looked down turned out to be Branch Leader York, who was admired by thousands and thousands of people.The impact from this revelation was too much fo

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

June grew anxious when she saw Kelly’s face. She hurriedly asked, “Kelly, what do you mean by not being selected?”“Oh, it’s very simple.”Before Kelly could answer, Eugene Bowie’s slightly mocking voice sounded from the table next to them. He threw Kelly a derisive half-smile, narrowing his eyes slightly.“Your family has nothing to do with the branch leader anymore. Thus, your privilege to do business with Longmen has also been revoked.”“After all, everything could only be done according to the proper rules and procedures.”“Many people desire to cooperate with the Mordu’s Longmen. If you don’t have the capacity to compete with everyone else, it’s only expected for you to lose.”This statement caused Kelly’s face to change. Flabbergasted, he asked, “W-what do you mean?”“I can do big business because of my abilities! What does any of it have to do with Harvey?!”Eugene picked up a glass of wine and took a casual sip. He then said indifferently, “Kelly Malone. In the last mon

Before Hazel could come to her senses, her phone suddenly rang.She saw that the call was from the Durin company, and so answered in a hurry. “Pardon me, Miss Malone. I’m from the Durin company.”A freezing cold voice greeted Hazel from the other side of the phone.“On behalf of the company, I’m here to explain two things to you.”“Firstly, the contract we were negotiating was canceled. The company is not going to continue to support you. As we haven’t signed a formal contract yet, the company doesn’t need to compensate you. We will cancel your account within three days, so please be ready for it.”“Secondly, the 7.6 million dollars our CEO gave you under the account ‘Mr. Tycoon’ in order to boost your popularity before has been officially withdrawn.”Hazel trembled at this shocking revelation. “What? You won’t sign a contract with me?”“You’re going to retrieve all the tips?!”“Why?!”“Didn’t you say that I’m quite promising?”“Don’t forget, I’m number one on Durin's infl

Eugene was passing this message on behalf of Harvey. This also indicated that Harvey had decided to completely cut ties with the Malone family.After all, they were the ones who took the initiative to cut ties with Harvey earlier this afternoon.Harvey not trampling on the Malone family was already an act of incredible kindness.He only wanted to retrieve the resources he used to support them in the past, and didn’t deliberately do anything to humiliate the Malone family. This was already a big favor.As for how the Malones would end up after losing their resources, that matter had nothing to do with Harvey.After all, they were adults. Adults must always pay the price for their choices.On the high platform, Harvey began to toast to the high-level members of the branch of Mordu’s Longmen after saying a few words. He was accompanied by Rachel and Aiden.For Harvey, who was truly a good drinker, this was trivial.He didn’t pay much attention to the affairs of Longmen’s Mordu bra

The man who led the group exuded an extraordinary, imposing aura. He had a disdainful look on his face, and seemed to enjoy looking down on others.Beside him was a woman with a beautiful face, though her expression was extremely cold.Another two men and two women stood behind him, adding up to a total of six people.Yet, all of them carried an aura that could easily overwhelm everyone inside the hall.Several Longmen disciples guarding the gate subconsciously stepped forward. Unexpectedly, they were kicked away before they could do anything, and were unable to fight back.Once again, the crowd was shocked. Justin’s face turned ugly. He clapped his hands in the next moment and ordered, “Get them!”Following his order, more than a dozen of his direct descendants leapt forward. All of them went all out.‘Bang, bang, bang!’But one man among the six stepped forward and confronted them with ease.With just some kicks and punches, they were sent flying in an instant!Some spurt
