Miley froze after hearing Harvey’s words.“Who do you think you are? You want him to kneel?“Even if you’re six feet under, Mr. Stefan will never kneel! Who do you think he is?“Only God can make him do such a thing! At least look in the mirror first before saying something like that!”Harvey chuckled.“Well now, you’re going to have to grovel.”Miley’s eyes were ice-cold. “You’ll suffer a horrible death speaking to him like that! Let me tell you something! You…”Slap!Before Miley finished talking, Stefan had already slapped her to the ground.“Shut up! Shut up right now!”“Mr. Stefan! Why?!” Miley covered her face, filled with disbelief. She didn’t think she’d end up like this after speaking up for Stefan.Slap!Stefan swung the back of his palm forward again, sending Miley flying. He couldn’t care less about holding back at this point.After kicking Miley in the face a few times, he coldly spoke up.“If you keep yapping, I’ll kill you myself!”Because of her, he had
After a moment, Harvey kept the One-Eyed Bea.“I can feel his sincerity now.“Since the bead’s mine, I’ll naturally take good care of it.“However, I heard there’ll be a ceremony for the Aenar Temple not long after this. Maybe I’ll give it out when that happens.“Hopefully you’ll treat me to some tea by then, Mr. Stefan.”Harvey then turned around and left.Everyone was dead silent.‘Where did he come from? He’s terrifying!‘He managed to get someone like Stefan to suffer this badly!’Stefan slowly stood up before glaring at Harvey. Nobody knew exactly what he was feeling. However, his hand was clearly shivering in anger.He would’ve thrown hands if he didn’t hold himself back.It was only natural for him to be this angry, though.He came to acquire the One-Eyed Bead for the Aenar Temple. Not only would it become a great story, he’d be able to rise in the ranks in the Aenar Temple. His position would be completely solidified.Harvey’s appearance not only screwed with his p
The auction ended without a sound. What happened on the third floor would never be revealed.Everyone knew that Miley’s threats weren’t just empty words.If someone spoke about what happened, the ruthless woman would surely find out everything before slaughtering said person along with their entire families.Naturally, not a lot of people would talk about Harvey either. However, his name would be etched in the hearts of every single person in the outskirts’ upper social circle.They couldn’t go against someone like Stefan, but they wouldn’t dare challenge Harvey either.After all, someone who dared to make Stefan kneel were naturally extraordinary people as well.After going to the parking lot, Aria hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up.“Going against Mr. Stefan might be a bad idea, Sir York…”“What? Is he that impressive?”Harvey had no intention of looking up Stefan’s identity in the first place. He disliked the way that Stefan did things, but he decided to f
After a few minutes, the car finally left the tower and reached the highway.“It doesn’t matter if you’re scared or not, Harvey,” Aria said.“After that incident, you’re fated to go against Stefan. There’s no chance for you two to reconcile anymore.”Aria was filled with disbelief. She saw that Harvey managed to make Stefan grovel in front of him, but it still felt like a dream nonetheless.Or rather, there weren’t a lot of times that the three great temples would suffer, since their status was simply too powerful—let alone a consul.Aria was wondering how she was going to report the situation to Lennon.She wanted the Surreys to stay away from Harvey for the time being.He was a strong man, but he was simply too dangerous. His actions were incompatible with the family as well.Harvey looked calmly at the cars outside the window. Nobody knew if he managed to see through Aria or not.“Do you really think that without what happened… Everything would just end without a hitch, Ms.
“Judging from Stefan’s actions, maybe your family has one of the Eyed Beads…”Harvey smiled faintly.Aria shivered.“But that doesn’t sound right at all. I heard that many years ago, the four great tribes and the Wolven Tribe’s two families had one each.“The three great temples, too.“All Nine Eyed Bead are split to the outskirts’ different forces.“But as time passed, the legends became untrue.“For example, where did you even get the bead if it was true?”“Who knows what’s actually real or not anyway?“That said, the Aenar Temple has a reason to target the Surrey family. Your grandfather knows exactly why.“Another thing. The three great temples are used to being high and mighty after so many years. They have no respect for the outside world anymore.“Judging from Stefan’s actions, they have no bottom line either.“Tell your grandfather to get ready. The outskirts are about to be in an uproar.”After seeing the dark clouds outside the window, Harvey chuckled.“A storm’
“Of course, it doesn’t matter how angry Stefan is.“He won’t do anything to you today. After all, he’d get too much attention if he does.”Harvey was calm.There was something else that he didn’t say.No matter how rich and powerful Stefan was… This was the Aenar Temple’s territory.Stefan had tons of ways to deal with Harvey as long as he played within the rules… But if he planned to lay his hands on Aria, he’d have to seek support from prominent figures with powerful forces. If he did that, though, he’d be seen as desperate.These prominent figures might not lend their forces that easily, either.Aria thought about the situation for a moment.“Would you want to leave first? Even if they’re trying to…”Harvey was speechless; he didn’t think that the fourth lady of the Surrey family would be this silly sometimes.“It’s fine. If I can’t even deal with such a small situation…” he said, tapping Aria’s shoulder. “I would’ve died countless times by now.”Aria bit on her lip w
After getting the feeling that Harvey touched the ID, the inspector took a few steps back. He pulled out his firearm and pointed it at Harvey’s head.He then waved his hand, signaling for the other inspectors to step up. Loud clacks were heard as the inspectors removed the safeties of their guns, looking fierce. “What are you doing?” Harvey showed an innocent expression. “I only took a look at your ID! There’s no need for this.”The inspector’s face darkened instantly.“You’re being arrested, Harvey York! You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used in the court of law!”Before Harvey could say anything, Aria had already gotten out of the car with a frown.“I am Aria Surrey of the Luster Tribe! I don’t know who you’re going against for doing this…but you better keep your firearms away from this!“Another thing! Sir York is our important guest. Going against him would mean going against the entire Surrey family!”The inspector scoffed.“We know the
After all, the dizzy pill incident had been shaking up the entire outskirts recently.If Harvey were blamed for this, not only would the inspectors be renowned for solving the case… Harvey would be taken out as well.No matter how powerful he was, no matter how strong of a background he had, he’d be trapped in a hopeless situation.The inspector quickly calmed himself down.He fearlessly tore the tape off his ID and burned it with a lighter, then glared coldly at Harvey.“It doesn’t matter if you’re a suspect or not! You’re coming with us regardless!“If not, we can shoot you down in the name of the law!“It doesn’t matter if you’re the holder of a Black Card, or an important guest of the Surrey family! The law will always prevail!”He waved his hand before speaking up again.“Go!”“How dare you?!” Aria exclaimed.Wildcat came out of the car with a cold expression as well.However, Harvey shook his head calmly. “It’s fine. I’ll go with them. You should head back first, Ms
