“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
Conrad Surrey covered his mouth as if he were looking at some trash, afraid that he would breathe in the air polluted by Harvey York.Harvey heaved a sigh.‘Why am I always provoked with unrelated things…?’Before Harvey could even say anything, Aria Surrey had already stood.“Don’t you understand human talk?“The family doesn’t welcome you! Scram!“If you don’t leave right now, you’ll have to crawl out of here later!”Wildcat and a dozen security guards stepped forward, ready to act.“Oh? Is this the trash, Wildcat?“I heard you got crippled! What? Are you still showing off before me and not learning your lesson?“Do you think I won’t cripple you again?”Conrad smiled faintly.Ernie Surrey, Aria Surrey, and the others were shaking in anger after hearing Conrad’s insults.Wildcat and the other security guards were also about to act.Right as Harvey was squinting at the sight in front of him, Lennon Surrey finally put his cup down before he spoke.“Conrad.“Do you really
A lanky man slowly walked out from the back.He wore a suit, but it did not seem to fit him.He was holding a leather briefcase with all sorts of embroidered jewelry.He set the briefcase on the table in front of Lennon Surrey before slowly opening it.Harvey York casually glanced over before he saw a few yellowed sheepskin maps, some of which were also hand-drawn.There was a bead with six dots showing on it as well.‘The Six-Eyed Bead!’Lennon furiously slammed on the table.“You little bastard! I knew you were the one who stole the family treasure all these years!“How dare you bring this here now?!“Do you think you’re untouchable?!”“Tch tch tch…”Conrad Surrey shook his head.“It’s been so many years, and you’re still angry about it?“That’s not how you improve your health now, right?”“How dare you?!“You’re insane!”Ernie Surrey and Aria Surrey were filled with anger.Lennon looked deep into Conrad’s eyes before glaring coldly.“Stop beating around the bush.”
Lennon Surrey glanced at the supposed evidence before showing a horrible expression.Conrad Surrey’s evidence had almost a hundred years’ worth of the family’s history, with additional proof to back everything up.Simply put, it would be almost impossible for them to explain everything.After realizing that, Lennon, Ernie, and Aria Surrey’s hearts sank to the bottom.“You were a part of the family too, Conrad. You should know the family doesn’t have all that…” said Lennon.“You were the one who brought the Six-Eyed Bead here.”“Who said that’s the case?”Conrad threw a few pictures on the table.Harvey instinctively glanced over before seeing pictures of a few Eyed Beads inside the Surrey family’s residence.The people familiar with the family would be able to discern despite the picture only showing what was indoors.“Truth becomes fiction…“When fiction becomes true.Conrad smiled.“Tell me, if I held a press conference informing everyone that half of the beads everyone
