"Mr. Stanton… I must admit that your promises are very enticing," Harvey reasoned with Elric, smiling faintly. "However, I have bad experiences with empty promises. I'm apprehensive that I won't be able to see those promises come to fruition."Elric's expression darkened slightly, but he still forced a smile. "Harvey, I'm being sincere with you. Your response is very disappointing. I wouldn't have offered my daughter if I only wanted to give you an empty promise. I have plenty of options, you know?"I love my daughter. If it isn't because I truly admired you, I wouldn't have said anything about letting you marry her?"Elric sounded like he was hurt. "Harvey, you completely got the wrong idea!"Harvey calmly replied, "It's not that I got it wrong; it's just that how you make those promises isn't genuine. Or perhaps I should say, it's your sincerity that makes you look so fake."I'll be direct. If you really do admire me, then the person sitting here before me won't be you but your

Harvey clapped his hands together and said, "See? I already allowed you to show your sincerity, but you didn't accept it. Whose fault is this, then? Then again, while you're not someone earnest, I am. If you really want me to give up my position, I can agree on one condition."Elric's expression darkened, and he slowly said, "State your condition."Harvey calmly spoke, "Have the Country H Commercial Group terminate their partnership with all Island Nation entities. Don't let the Island Nation have a chance to enter our country's market from now on.""That is preposterous!" Elric instantly became furious and no longer held back his anger when he heard Harvey's condition. There was no point in continuing with the act anymore."Do you know how vital the Island Nation's market is to the commercial group? Once their capital has been removed, how will we continue doing our business? As a businessman, you should also understand that capital has no nationalities."We have worked so hard a

Before Harvey could even reach the door, Elric suddenly bellowed. There was both arrogance and calmness in his laughter. Those who did not know him might even think he had finally lost it."Interesting… This is so interesting! You know how the saying goes: out with the old and in with the new. I've always thought it's just an expression, but I never thought some people genuinely believe in that. Not only are you arrogant, you're completely out of depth."Harvey, do you know what it means when I've been the director of Country H Commercial Group for decades? It means that all the scions of the ten top families and the five hidden families will all show respect to me. They wouldn't even dare lift a finger at me, even when I teach them a lesson or two."Even Emery, the so-called number one scion in Wolsing, had to show his respect whenever he visited me at home. I've never met someone like you who showed me no respect and even completely threw my dignity out of the window. Harvey… Shou

Then, Harvey replied with a smile. "What? Do you think this place is built like a prison? Do you think you can stop me if I want to leave?"Tammie smirked as she gave Harvey a good look before saying, "You can try if you want to leave, but you will bear all the consequences. But here's some advice: You should know just how much power you have. Often, dying a quick death is better than dragging it on."Harvey smiled and completely ignored Tammie's warning. Instead, he walked toward the exit with his hands behind his back. Tammie's eyes narrowed as she did not expect Harvey to ignore her advice completely.She instantly moved and appeared right on top of Harvey, sparks of electricity in her palm as she shot her hand out directly on Harvey's skull. It was apparent that her ability stemmed from Country A's genetic modification.However, it was also clear that Tammie had undergone more than one genetic modification. She probably had two or even more. Most importantly, Tammie had mastere

After Harvey slapped Elric, he turned around and just left as everyone else could only watch in shock. He did not say or do anything else after that.Meanwhile, Elric held the right side of his face in disbelief. The expression on his face changed from shock and anger to viciousness. And then, he bellowed as he looked into the sky.It was as if a shade of madness had stained him.-Harvey's expression was filled with deliberation after leaving the alley leading to Elric's office. He had gained some understanding of Country H Commercial Group during this time. After George had arrived, he had already helped Harvey with his investigations.For example, while Country H Commercial Group looked like a group that was not that tight, the commercial group held many shares of important corporations within the country. Country H Commercial Group held many of these shares as a proxy for the corporations from either County A or the Island Nation.Which meant while some corporations looked li

The Lamborghini sped onto the highway, blending in with the endless stream of vehicles.Harvey was enjoying the scenery on the side. Shortly after, he noticed that all the skyscrapers and high-rise buildings were slowly disappearing from view. Even the signature building of Wolsing also slowly receded from his vision.The buildings around him are slowly becoming more classical. It was not long until an estate came into his view.Brick roads separated the estates here, and statues on both sides guarded the entrances of many of the estates. It was obvious that this place was where the nobilities of the past dynasties used to stay.In ancient times, this place was where the nobilities lived their daily lives. All the buildings he saw right now were beyond the reach of most commoners.Of course, it was the same for this era as well. Commoners did not even have the right to apply to become household staff or even cleaners in this place.The car quickly stopped outside a huge estate lo

Harvey felt like he was looking at concubines from a bygone era as he looked at the women, old-fashioned and drowned in decadence. He instinctively felt disgusted."Were you looking for me, stepmother?"It seemed like Journi did not like what she was looking at as well, but she still started the conversation with a blank expression.It was obvious that the woman who won the card game was Elric's current wife, Pamela Thompson. She was barely a few years older than Journi."Stepmother?" Pamela glanced coldly at Journi. "I told you many times. You can either call me mom or mother. You keep on calling me stepmother… Will you only be satisfied by reminding me that I'm your father's subsequent wife? Or maybe you think I can't deal with you after you mocked me like that?"Pamela was sneering at this time, and she seemed surrounded by an air of arrogance that Harvey could not really put his finger on. However, Harvey could already tell from Pamela's last name that she was most likely some

Harvey looked at Pamela with a dry smile. It seemed like Pamela was really treating herself like a big shot. He wondered what her expression would be if she knew he was the one who killed the Thompson family's scion, Hector.Before Harvey could say anything, Journi had already taken a step forward and gave Pamela a cold glare. "I'm warning you, stepmother. You should stop insulting my boyfriend. Since he's my boyfriend, I will protect him. Even if he's living off of me, it won't change the truth that he's my boyfriend."I'm also clarifying my stance one more time. I'm not interested in Emery. Never have and never will. So, you can stop building castles in the cloud and try to match the two of us.""Ha! You must have watched too many teen dramas," the expression on Pamela's face did not change much even after being rejected by Journi as she simply watched with interest. "Do you know I've hired someone to be my fake boyfriend and played the same act when I was younger? At the time, I
