“I wouldn’t have acted that way if I knew he was your important guest!“But now I know. Please be the better person and give me a chance!”Master Gatlin smiled faintly with his head lowered, thinking he would not be treated that harshly.Aria Surrey completely ignored him when she approached Harvey York.“I’m sorry, Sir York. I didn’t plan things through.“I’ll make it a point to give you a proper explanation.”Aria coldly glared around her.Harvey was an outstanding man.Not only did he take down the troublemakers of the Outskirts Budokan with a single slap, but he also dealt with the Surrey family’s biggest problem.Aria was about to go crazy after thinking about just that.Though, Harvey could not be bothered. He did not want to cause a scene in a small place like this.“It’s fine. It’s just some small fry barking around,” said Harvey casually.“There’s no need to ruin your mood because of this.”Harvey was just about to leave.It was a good thing for him to attend the
Master Gatlin instinctively looked at Alvaro Osborne.He most likely did something like this because of him anyway.He only wanted Alvaro to speak on his behalf at this very moment.If not, he would have to beg for mercy.Alvaro’s eyes also kept twitching.He was the young master of the Osborne family and a part of the Border Force. He was a man with immense power and authority…But that did not mean he could go against the Surrey family.After all, there were many young masters of the Osborne family, but only one princess in the Surrey family!Aria was also Lennon Surrey’s beloved granddaughter.Alvaro had no idea what to do because of that.After seeing Aria being this respectful towards Harvey York, he instantly felt like slapping himself in the face.‘Is this all true?‘Am I not dreaming here?’That said, Alvaro could not just sit still at this point.If he pretended nothing ever happened in the first place, he would only embarrass himself even further.He had no cho
When Alvaro Osborne ran away with his tail between his legs, Asher Klein seemed horrible.Harvey York was not directly confronting him, nor did Aria Surrey say anything to him…But this was not something worth celebrating either.Rather, Harvey’s arrogance was no different than ignorance.Judging from Asher’s prideful attitude, he could never stomach such humiliation.That said, Aria was at the top of her generation in the Surrey family.Asher belonged to the Wolven Tribe’s direct descendant, but just like Alvaro, he was not chosen to be a successor. On the contrary, he had siblings fighting against him for the throne.They were destined to be inferior compared to Aria.Simply put, Alvaro and Asher had no right to go against Harvey since Aria was supporting him.-Roger Cobb, Lorel Bree, and Teo Fairman were shocked to their core.Nobody thought Harvey could fight back as he was about to be crushed.Typically speaking, this simply was not possible!And yet it happened…“W
“Even though Aenar Temple is holding the auction, the Surrey family is the biggest investor of the event.“I thought I didn’t need an invitation for you. After all, that wouldn’t be right judging from a man of your stature.“I didn’t think that this would happen…“I didn’t plan things through. Please forgive me.”Aria Surrey intentionally ambled while she was walking with Harvey York.She carefully looked at Harvey’s profile, waiting for a response.“It’s not a big deal.”Harvey looked as if what happened did not bother him at all.Aria felt confused.‘As expected from a master like him. People like Alvaro and Asher are completely inferior compared to him…’The two came to the third floor. This was where the auction would be held.Many people were already sitting in the dark corners, quietly anticipating the auction to start.Harvey and Aria’s appearances attracted quite a lot of attention, but the people around here were all prominent figures of the outskirts. As long as t
The Black Card was a symbol of great status and also represented Harvey York’s wealth.Aria Surrey thought he only had the combat prowess to back himself up. Her heart was throbbing nonstop while she was completely sluggish.She thought showing Harvey’s immense wealth would probably make Harvey look up to the family…But she understood that Harvey was more than meets the eye.A man close to being a God of War having a Black Card…People like that would surely have immense strength and riches.He most likely also had immense authority in Golden Sands as well.The Surrey family could not find anything about him, probably because of Harvey’s extremely high status.This would explain his calm demeanor despite what had happened.After all, why would a powerful man like him even argue with someone lower than him?Worms would always remain as worms, after all.Aria quickly hid the last bit of her pride when she respectfully spoke.“I heard many people here are interested in this,
Aria Surrey seemed slightly angry after seeing Miley Surrey’s actions.She quickly composed herself before speaking again.“That’s no ordinary man, Sir York.“He’s one of Aenar Temple’s Four Consuls…“Stefan Augustus!“It’s said he’s Great Wall’s closed disciple. Not only does he have an immense identity, but his combat prowess is also impressive.“Miley has a high status in Aenar Temple, but she’s just an ordinary woman before a man like that.”Aria wanted to call Miley a mere plaything, but she could lower the Surrey family’s status for claiming such.Harvey gave a chuckle.“So, he’s also here for the One-Eyed Bead?”Aria lightly nodded.The Eyed Beads had profound significance.The Mandala One-Eyed Bead was also said to be the first one created by the founder of a sect.Whichever Great Temple that acquired the bead could announce their total authority.“Oh? Isn’t that my dear sister?”Miley noticed Harvey and Aria, and she smiled while swaying her legs around.“I hea
“You do?Stefan Augustus snickered before leaning on his chair.“Do you have something to do that’s more important than me right now?“Stay back after the auction.He quickly snapped his fingers to cut Aria Surrey off before she could even speak.“Let’s continue.”His calm words seemed irrefutable.Nobody would even let out a single breath at this very moment.Miley Surrey peeled a grape before feeding it to Stefan with her mouth.In front of the consul, only a gentle look could be seen from the proud Fourth Lady.The auctioneer showed admiration while looking at the sight. Only consuls of sects could make one of the ladies from the four great tribes obey him like this.Stefan looked around him, completely ignoring everyone’s gaze.“You’ve all seen the One-Eyed Bead.“I can safely tell you all, just like the legends say, the bead is indeed created by the legendary founder!“Of the Eight-Eyed Beads, this is also the first to be created!“The bead is a true treasure! A hig
The auctioneer stared at Harvey York.“You shouldn’t be spouting nonsense, Mister!“You better prove that you have that kind of money, or you’ll have to pay the price!”Swoosh!Harvey grabbed his Black Card from Aria Surrey before flicking it at the auctioneer’s table.“You should know what it means, right?”The auctioneer’s eyes twitched after seeing the card.He knew Harvey had an impressive status since he came with Aria.But he least expected that Harvey would have a Black Card!Less than ten people in the outskirts even had such a thing…Harvey’s card showed that he had immense wealth.Even Stefan did not have a Black Card.Simply put, Harvey had the right to challenge him.Without a second thought, the auctioneer hesitated momentarily before respectfully handing the Black Card over to Harvey.He could not go against Stefan, nor should he oppose someone with a Black Card…Even if Harvey was here to cause trouble.Many people sighed after seeing the sight. Nobody th
