Chapter 5782
An hour later, Harvey York left the police station unscathed.Without him using his connections with Dutch Cobb, the Surrey family had already hired a few prominent lawyers from the outskirts to take care of the situation.Harvey slapped Conrad Surrey in the face but did not hurt much despite the extremely humiliating action. Conrad simply did not have enough proof to sue Harvey in the first place.That said, not only did Conrad intrude on the Surrey family’s residence, he even brought illegal firearms inside. Under these circumstances, the situation must be dealt with slowly but surely.If not, Conrad and the others would need to be sent behind bars for a few years.“I didn’t think you’d get dragged into the Surrey family’s business, Harvey…”Harvey walked out the front door before the Surrey family quickly came over.Lennon Surrey nodded at Harvey with a strange look.“You really are impressive, but Conrad doesn’t have any decency. He will do everything he can to get what he

On the next day of Conrad Surrey’s detainment.A door was pushed open in the side hall of Aenar Temple before Miley Surrey stepped inside.Stefan Augustus made a gesture while reading a scripture. When finally done, he raised his head to look at Miley.“Something wrong?”Miley’s beautiful face was showing an odd expression before letting out a sigh.“We were late, Mr. Stefan.“Last night, Conrad came all the way here, threatening the Surrey family to grant him full authority…“Harvey tricked him into forty-eight-hour detainment at the police station. The American Embassy can only bail him out after that.”Stefan paused before frowning.“When did the Surrey family’s business have anything to do with Harvey?“Who does he think he is to get involved like that?“He might as well deal with the entire outskirts’ business at this point.”“It’s probably just a coincidence Harvey got involved this time.Naturally, Miley had her sources planted in the Surrey family to be in the know

Miley Surrey heaved a sigh.“Lennon wanted that at first, but Harvey refused.“He’s probably trained so hard he forgot he had a brain!“He previously fought you for the One-Eyed Bead, and now he’s refusing to get the beads right before him!”“You oversimplify things.”“Harvey knows he’d be everyone’s target if he acquires those beads.“After all, him having the One-Eyed Bead is already public knowledge.“If he gets another three, then he’d have collected half of the Nine-Eyed Beads.“He’d be the one who gets the most attention that way.“Since a huge battle is about to occur, being everyone’s target surely isn’t the wisest choice.”Miley paused.“That bastard!“I thought he was brainless, but I sure underestimated him.”“Not quite. You’re simply still in denial after suffering losses against him.Stefan stood up before slowly playing with his string of ivory-carved beads.“At this point, I’ve confirmed that his identity is most likely fake.“As for who he actually is, m

Miley Surrey instinctively shivered after hearing Stefan Augustus’ words.She realized all the upperclassmen had profound meaning in their words.She thought Stefan was being too reckless previously, but she had not expected that he was only faking a persona.It was a shame that Harvey York was no ordinary person either.“If that’s the case, how should we proceed?Miley gazed sternly.“Are we just going to watch as the three beads are sent to the Aenar Temple?“It’d be no different than us accepting nukes.”Miley’s head started to spin.She would naturally be willing to accept the beads before. After all, this was her true goal for trying to take over the Surrey family in the first place.But times had changed. With Conrad Surrey making such a strong comeback using his identity as an American…The beads were definitely no good to have.At least, all sorts of influential figures had come just for the Nine-Eyed Beads.Whoever obtained half of those beads first would be invit

At one o’clock in the afternoon, after lunch.Harvey York was just done making tea in his villa in Eden Mountain.Based on the current situation, staying in the villa provided by Harlan Higgs would be unwise. That was why he decided to stay here instead.Ding dong!The doorbell rang nonstop when Harvey was just about to have his afternoon nap.He glanced at the surveillance footage before unlocking the door with his phone.Aria and Ernie Surrey hurried inside.“This is bad, Sir York!”Ernie was panicking as if his head had fallen off of his body.Harvey glared at him.“Aenar Temple agreed?“Are they going to take the beads?“They must be planning to send experts to keep the family safe too…“That said, they must be asking to pick an auspicious day to accept the beads, and that everyone in Aenar Temple needed to make preparations of some sort…“Am I right?”Ernie’s jaw instantly dropped. He was speechless at that moment.Aria was confused as well.“Did Grandfather call

Harvey York chuckled.“You don’t need me to teach you that, right?“Mr. Lennon’s been in the outskirts for so many years. I’m sure he has a plan of his own…”Aria and Ernie Surrey looked at each other before asking to leave, saying that they needed to send word to Lennon Surrey immediately.That said, they left behind two gift boxes before leaving.Harvey did not ask the two to stay either. Since the outskirts were about to be in deep trouble, he also considered going to the Surrey family to “protect” the beads.After all, he was not going to let Stefan Augustus do as he pleased.Voom!His phone suddenly rang while he was in deep thought.He thought Aria Surrey called because she misplaced something here, but it was actually Harlan Higgs on the line.Harlan had been busy with his business. He only found out that Harvey moved out of his villa that day.Since Billie Higgs and Whitley Cobb kept quiet about what happened in Mandrake Residence, Harvey was still the kid who came t

“Harvey! You’re finally here!“I’ve been waiting for you!”Whitley Cobb quickly pushed Billie Higgs after seeing Harvey York’s arrival.Billie forced out a smile as she walked over.She wore a black Givenchy short skirt along with a pair of black stockings, revealing her fair and smooth legs.Judith Pedler, Aliza Howell, and the other women also had their forte, but Billie completely outmatched them.After seeing the beautiful woman in front, Harvey nodded.“Hey, Billie.”Those words came out so awkward.“Everything’s better now that you’re here!Billie desperately scoured for a topic while smiling brightly.“I was worried that you weren’t joining!”Harvey did not know why the incident in Mandrake Residence did not spread.But after knowing Harvey’s true capability, Whitley and Billie knew he was no ordinary man.Billie and her family belonged to the Wolven Tribe but were not direct descendants.They would be greatly benefitted if they had someone talented like Harvey as

Billie Higgs instinctively opened her box before seeing another broken dark blue bead.It looked identical to the one Judith Pedler had. Both of them were old and worn out.Before Billie even said anything, Aliza Howell had spoken again.“Throw that trash out of here, Billie!“How dare he use something like this to provoke you?“He’s heinous!“Not only is he trying to hook up with you, he’s also making advances with Judith!“He’s insane!”Everyone started glaring disdainfully at Harvey.“Get this man out of here, Ms. Billie!” said a few of Billie and Judith’s pursuers.“That’s right! This is a gathering of upperclassmen! This guy’s lowering everyone’s standards here! It’s humiliating!”“I like whatever Harvey gives me anyway,” Judith replied.Billie quickly mediated the situation with an awkward smile.“It’s just a small gathering, everyone. There’s no need to prepare anything in the first place.”“I know that you have an arranged marriage with this guy, but you can’t jus
