About an hour later, Harvey York’s phone vibrated when a surge of texts came through.Harvey glanced before entering the lobby’s tea room using the presidential suite elevator.Dutch Cobb had already come with a stack of documents. As soon as he saw Harvey’s face, he respectfully bowed before him.Harvey chuckled before telling the staff to prepare two cups of tea. The two then had a joyful chatter.“How’s the investigation going?”Dutch showed a strange expression.“The sects have more than a thousand years’ history, Sir York. Information about them is extremely complicated. Separating the truths and lies in the documents would be hard.“Another thing, I’m afraid that you need to be more specific about which sect you’re trying to investigate so I can gather more information.”Harvey shrugged.“The York family got me to meet Stinger.“We didn’t have a pleasant time together.“Not only did I make Stinger kneel as an apology, I also made him slap himself many times.“It doesn

“Though, that’s just a generalization. In reality, there are many different sects in India as well.“Back then, only the Azure, Smalt, and Falvous Sects existed.“After a series of battles, the Azure Sect were defeated and forced to retreat from Country H.“The Falvous Sect ended up victorious and earned the right to promote their ideologies in the center of the country.“The Smalt Sect was also defeated. Only a single monk out of hundreds from the sect was left wandering around the country.“The monk didn’t choose to leave the country. He inadvertently stumbled to the outskirts.“Back then, the place was still considered a barbaric land. People from the mainland looked down on this place altogether. Only primitive concepts of worship originated from a place like this.“The monk combined his sect’s beliefs with the concept and created a newly distinct Smalt Sect.“The sect he created is located right at Scuva Mountains, where Adenar Temple currently resides.“It’s said he crea

“We’re not even at the interesting part yet.Dutch Cobb gave a chuckle.“The three great temples have made a deal to keep them as one.“The consuls of each temple will be chosen as the young master of the Smalt Sect for every generation.“Every young master would have a high chance of becoming the new master.“Simply put, this is how the three great temples’ power is regulated.“According to the rule, the person to become the next young master should be Stefan.“But for some reason, Adenar Temple was pretty adamant, claiming that Amos has already reincarnated three times, and he’s suspected to be the reincarnation of the Smalt Sect’s founder.“Because of this, most of the Smalt Sect’s higher-ups support Amos instead.“Stefan was unhappy. Aenar Temple was also furious, but they had no choice but to hold back their anger.“The Smalt Sect only seems united as a front…“But when the nine beads are gathered, the three great temples will finally combine forces once Amos’ identity

Amos smiled while squinting at the sight before him.“I am Amos Augustus. I have a meeting with Commander Hannah.”The red light on his head instantly disappeared. The steel doors, which were once locked tight, slowly slid open.Amos showed a faint smirk as he stepped forward with his arms crossed.His path was unobstructed. Not a single soldier was seen around him either.It was as if the base was completely empty.Then again, Amos knew there were at least a hundred firearms pointed at him at this very moment.If he did something out of line…He would be filled with holes the next second.That said, Amos did not mind the danger at all. He slowly walked forward when he finally came to the edge of an artificial lake.It was an extremely luxurious feature in the middle of a desert. However, to maintain the lake, which required copious amounts of water, a lot of resources and manpower were needed.For that, the artificial lake made the entire place much more lively, calming peo

“If your believers hear about this, faith itself would be destroyed for countless people.”Amos Augustus smiled.“We should only say whatever the person wants to hear.“I’d be making a fool of myself if I talked about beliefs in front of an intelligent woman like you, Commander Hannah.“Right. I’m sorry for barging in here out of the blue.“That’s why I brought a Honey Pill that’s been sitting in Adenar Temple for a hundred years.“More than fifty types of elixirs are used to create this.“It isn’t considered godly, but you should be able to cure any disease or sickness as soon as you eat some of this.“Of course, judging from your strength and skill, you shouldn’t need something like this in the first place.“That said, your subordinates might just need this one day.”Amos casually set the gift box on the table before opening it, revealing a dark red pill inside.“One of the Smalt Sect’s sacred treasures?”Hannah Jean froze. Even as a frigid woman, she could not help but r

Amos Augustus showed a hint of helplessness after hearing Hannah Jean’s words, as if there was something he did not want to divulge.But since Hannah already brought up the subject…Then, there was no point in him hiding anything.“You should know about the Nine Eyed Beads.“Other than the One-Eyed Bead and the Nine-Eyed Bead, the remaining seven are all with the Smalt Sect.“I know you are also interested in this.“That said, I’ll be frank with you here.“There is no secret of immortality with the beads.“If there is, then the founder wouldn’t have died in the first place. Right?”Hannah cracked a smile.“I naturally wouldn’t believe in such fables.“That said, some of the elderly are pretty interested in that.“They’re willing to try anything once if there is even a glimmer of hope.“I have a prominent status in the family.“But if the elderly want to see if there’s a possibility of immortality…“As a junior myself, I can’t just tell them off now, can I?“If you’re tr

Hannah narrowed her eyes for a moment.“It’s not that simple now, is it?”“What a pain it is to talk to someone smart…” Amos chuckled. “If I remember correctly, your family has a live-in husband called Harvey York, right?”Hannah’s eyes lit up.“There is someone with that name, yes. Mandy has probably divorced him by now. He has nothing to do with the family anymore.”“Is that so?”Amos chuckled.“My subordinate told me that when he tried to show his love to Mandy, Harvey popped out, calling Mandy his woman and all that.“With an arranged marriage between our families, we’d be able to deepen our relationship.“What a shame…”Hannah looked at Amos with a profound gaze.“I don’t know how truthful you actually are, Young Master… But I don’t have the right to decide a partner for a branch head. At least, not right now.”“No matter.”Amos smiled.“My subordinate’s marriage is none of my concern.“Besides, I should at least wait for your rise to power before that, right?“How

Before Amos and Roue met, Harvey had been taking care of Mandy in the Outskirts International Hotel.Her body would occasionally turn to the worst because of the curse she was inflicted with.Harvey was an expert martial artist; he was proficient with the art of killing, but he wasn’t an experienced doctor. He managed to save Mandy’s life, but he wasn’t able to cure her curse for her to fully recover.He decided to quietly wait and see what Amos planned to do next.After all, it was surely humiliating to Amos and his sect when they heard Stinger being forced to kneel and slap himself in the face. Harvey was certain Amos wouldn’t be calm enough to swallow that.On the third day, in the afternoon, Romina approached Harvey with an odd expression.“Stefan’s asking to see you, Sir York.”“Him?” Harvey was confused. “Publicly, or quietly?”“He probably came up with ways to hide his identity and change the way he looks.”Harvey showed a profound gaze before standing up.“Come.
