Harvey smiled. “Should I be thanking you, then?”“No need. I’m just saying…” Sierra frowned. “It’s a little awkward to steer the conversation this way, isn’t it?”Harvey was beginning to figure out Sierra’s personality. “Maybe you should just tell me why you’re here instead.”Sierra looked at him with a profound gaze.“You see, my grandfather wants to see you no matter what. The others have been desperately trying to figure out a way to make that happen… I came here just to ask you for that.”“Your grandfather? The head of the Wolven Tribe, Preston Klein? Why does he want to see me? Is he planning to cause me trouble?”Harvey had destroyed the Eve Clubhouse, recruited Romina, and dealt with Asher. After all that, it was only natural for someone like Preston to come at him.“Probably not.”Sierra tilted her head to the side.“If that were the case, I wouldn’t be the one here. It’d be all one hundred and eight fighters of the Klein family instead.“I was hoping you’d entertain
Crack!The teapot cracked while tea was still pouring out of it.Nobody expected the elegant teapot used to serve Harvey would suddenly break. Harvey’s fearlessness and casual attitude when sitting down had panicked Preston.Bam!Preston casually threw the handle on the table, then raised his head to look at Harvey with a smile.“As expected from a young and talented man.“Before meeting you, I always thought that the young ones were simply inferior… But after seeing you, I realized that I’ve been wasting my time all these years!”Preston waved his hand.“Come! Bring me my Darwin Chalice!”Sierra and the others froze.The Darwin Chalice was Preston’s most beloved item.According to him, nobody in the outskirts was worthy for him to bring it out. Yet, Harvey had the honor of witnessing the chalice.More importantly, Preston himself asked to bring it out.Harvey was quite well-versed with antiques; he knew the Darwin Chalice was actually unearthed during an ancient dynasty
The eyes of everyone there twitched after hearing Harvey’s words.He was quite an arrogant man, to be speaking like that in front of someone like Preston!‘Isn’t he scared of Preston getting angry?’“You haven’t?” Preston froze, and he looked deeply at Harvey. “So you’re saying that you’re just doing whatever you want recently?”“Not exactly,” Harvey replied calmly. “I’m just doing all this because the circumstances forced me. I don’t know who’s going against me, but I can’t just sit there and take everything either, right?“It’s a shame; the Klein family is pretty lame.“Romina’s talented, but she’s just too greedy. Asher knows when to back down, but he doesn’t know himself well enough.“Your entire family’s been taking action without regard toward anything.“I don’t think that it’s enough that you people ended up like this. If I were to take action, you’d suffer a lot, even if you ended up surviving.”Preston’s pupils shrunk. “Are you saying that this isn’t over? If you wa
“Is that so?”Harvey shrugged.“If you don’t actually have it… Then why put so much effort in this situation? Don’t tell me you’re just doing the Great Wall a simple favor. That’s just an excuse, right?“If not, judging from the Klein family’s intelligence, why would you get involved in the first place?“Do you think I’d believe you if you tell me that Asher’s the only one behind all this?“He knows about Evermore; this means that his status in the family is nothing but powerful. If you don’t have a goal, what’s the point of making such a prominent figure take action?”Harvey casually revealed everything the Klein family had done.Not only did Preston go completely pale, but Sierra was showing mixed expressions as well.“More importantly, you decided to let Sierra come to me at such a sensitive time.”Harvey smiled.“Your family had already figured out my identity the moment I revealed my broken bead.“You decided not to let me go… Instead, you waited for everything to die d
Preston’s face was stern, as if he was thinking over Harvey’s words. After a long time, he stood up.“You’re absolutely right,” he said after sighing.“I couldn’t see the bigger picture this entire time!“In reality, we have condemned ourselves because of our own thoughts. If we keep forcing ourselves to fight for the beads, we’ll end up destroying ourselves.”Harvey chuckled.“You saw through this already, but you were in denial. After all, this has been the family’s dream for the longest time.”There was something Harvey didn’t say. Without outside forces… Judging from the Klein family’s ability in the outskirts, they’d probably have a chance to rule.However… Compared to the top ten families, the five hidden families, the sacred martial arts training grounds, and Evermore, the organization that had been around since ancient times…The Klein family had no chance.They’d either watch from the sidelines and live discreetly…or they’d work with a bigger force for their own benef
The Klein family was filled with shock; even Sierra’s jaw dropped in disbelief.Harvey sighed before opening the box; his eyes brightened as soon as he saw what was inside.It was the Nine-Eyed Bead.“The Nine-Eyed Bead?! The holy item passed down by our ancestors? That old fox actually gave it to you?!”Ten o’clock at night, in the room of a clubhouse. Romina held the Nine-Eyed Bead, her entire body twitching.Dutch found a microscope to look at the bead for a long time before sighing.“It’s real… This is the legendary Nine-Eyed Bead.”Even with his extensive knowledge of the Klein family, Dutch still couldn’t accept that fact.Harvey shrugged.“They wanted my One-Eyed Bead in the first place…but I ended up taking their bead instead.“I kept pushing it away, but Preston still insisted, saying that he didn’t want the family to be ruined by greed…“I had no choice. Besides, I came here for these beads in the first place. After all…”Harvey sighed.He wasn’t in a rush to gra
Harvey nodded. “Are you saying that Mandy’s with the Border Force right now?”“Most likely.” Dutch nodded. “But I couldn’t look into them.”Harvey thought about the situation. “Don’t we have anyone in the Border Force?”Dutch’s eyes turned cold.“One of the four commanders belongs to us…but two months ago, that guy went missing.“I just got word about it, too. I suspect that your wife’s situation is deeply linked with our missing person, Sir York.“The leads might just connect here.”Dutch looked deeply at the Nine-Eyed Bead.Harvey pinched the bead and squinted for a moment before standing up.“Dutch, Romina, use your sources to find out where the other beads are. Since many parties are coming here for the beads… I’d like to see if they can actually provide eternal life.”Harvey kept the bead, then turned around and left..After thinking about the situation for a moment, he called a cab to the Surrey family’s residence.People might not realize that the One-Eyed Bead was a
A row of dark green Toyota Prados were parked there, their glaring lights filling the courtyard, making it look as if it was morning.The doors were kicked open soon after, and several men in robes appeared.An arrogant voice was heard.“You’re in a pretty good mood, old man. Have you been preparing all this for me? You know I love mutton! Should I be thanking you?”The faces of everyone there darkened instantly.The security guards, who were hiding in the shadows, quickly jumped out. They stood in front of Lennon and the others, on high alert.A handsome man with an arrogant expression strode inside, his arms crossed, laughing all the way.His long hair fluttered casually in the air, and his white shirt was slightly yellow. The terrifying aura of an elite could be felt on him.Compared to the others, his utter dominance was enough for anyone to recognize him.Conrad Surrey!Ernie stepped forward, glaring coldly at Conrad.“Didn’t you already break off from the family? Why a
