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
"You…!" When Pamela heard what Journi proclaimed, she stood up out of sheer anger and pointed her finger at Journi. She wanted to say something but realized that nothing she said would carry any meaning at this time. Journi was willing to sacrifice her life; what else could Pamela say to threaten her?When the thought crossed Pamela's mind, she turned her attention to Harvey. Obviously, there was nothing she could do to Journi. Then, she had to switch her target. Her expression darkened as she narrowed her cold eyes at Harvey. "I don't care who you are or where you're from, boy."I'm going to make this simple. If you still value your life, you should leave, immediately. You don't know what lies under the murky depths of our family, but you should have heard about the Wright family. They're one of the top ten families in Country H. A marriage between our two families has already been determined. It doesn't matter who you are, interfere with this, and you'll only end up dead!"There w
Harvey had slapped Elric? He also had killed Hector?Those were two simple statements, but the content of those statements was enough to make them shudder.The three middle-aged women and Pamela were not the only ones stunned. Even Journi instinctively turned and looked at Harvey in disbelief. They could not believe what Harvey had just said.If slapping Elric was at least plausible and could occur, then they were unsure how he could still stand there as if nothing had happened after killing Hector. That was not something that could possibly happen in the real world.Hector was one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, after all. He was always accompanied by elite fighters wherever he went. It was impossible for him to get killed by someone like Harvey.After the initial shock, Pamela quickly collected herself. She coldly looked at Harvey and said, "You're overreacting after I commented. Do you think someone like you has the right to slap my husband? And even kill the Thompsons' s
There were mixed feelings in Journi's eyes as she felt the emotion within Harvey's words.Journi grew up in a single-parent household since she was little, and her father was the kind of person who would just sell her for profit. Despite being called a princess, she was just a young woman who had lived with a different burden that was no less heavy.She had never had a source of safety since she was young. She did not expect that she would get it from Harvey. Not to mention, Journi could sense that he was different from the other men who simply wanted her.Harvey's protectiveness of her did not involve any kind of perversion.It was so rare."Enough, boy. You really think you're someone important, now?" Pamela suddenly stood up with her arms folded in front of her chest, her eyes filled with viciousness. She looked at Harvey as if she could kill him for a long while before she snorted and said, "Journi, are you going to get rid of this man yourself? Or will you wait until securi
Pamela raised her hand, and the dozens of men in black immediately advanced and blocked Harvey and Journi's path.Harvey looked at the men and said calmly, "Mrs. Stanton, seeing that you're my girlfriend's stepmother, you still have time to stop. If it were someone else, I would have already slapped them away. What do you think?"The middle-aged woman chuckled and did not believe Harvey at all. They all looked at Harvey as if they were looking at the most foolish man they had ever seen. Pamela narrowed her eyes when she looked at Harvey and said bitterly, "Do you really think I won't dare to touch you just because we live in a country ruled by law?"Harvey calmly replied, "Does someone like you even care about the law? Of course, you can do whatever you want to me, but you should consider if you can accept the consequences of your actions. Don't say I didn't warn you if there's nothing left of you to be buried in the end."Pamela scoffed. "You little fool. You deserve a little prai
Pamela's expression changed when she heard what Harvey was saying. Because what Harvey said was the same advice a fortune teller had given her at an ancient shrine.The fortune teller was said to be a priest who had lived for a hundred years.When the fortune teller looked at Pamela's fortune through the cards, his expression turned into shock. Then, he said that she had a tragic fate and she would not live to see her fortieth birthday.When Pamela was younger, she thought everything the fortune teller told her was rubbish. But slowly but surely, everything the fortune teller told her about her fate was realized. However, Pamela subconsciously forgot about her impending end due to her fear of dying.When Harvey mentioned this to her, her expression instantly turned sour."Who are you? How did you know about this?" Pamela asked with a mixed expression. "Did you gather information about me before coming here?"Harvey glanced at Pamela and said without much interest, "Why don't you
"How absurd!" When Pamela heard what Harvey had to say, her expression became one of terror. But shortly after, she coldly smiled again."Do you think you can scare me just like that? What you just said won't happen. Even if it will, I won't just surrender to you. Also, I've already asked Master Surrey from HK City to help me solve this."Master Surrey is a master of the geomancy arts and has used his unique skills to extend the life of the most important person in HK City. If he can extend the life of others, he can also extend my life. There's no need for you to worry about this!"Maybe Jon's imminent arrival gave Pamela some confidence. She smiled coldly and said, "Speaking of which, I believe we should speak about you and my daughter. I don't care if you're her genuine boyfriend or not, but you should understand your interference has brought danger to others other than yourself."You family, your friends… All of them will die a clueless death because of you. This is no empty th
The men-in-black that didn't react in time just now immediately charged toward Harvey after Pamela ordered them to. As their employer had been humiliated, there was no way Harvey wouldn't end up dead. Harvey looked at the so-called security without any respect. He sent them flying with a slap each. In less than ten seconds, the men in black who were charging at him all crumbled on the floor. They no longer had the strength or bravery to face him.How… How was that possible?Everyone there was shocked. It was the first time they saw someone who dared to act with such impunity in front of Pamela. The worst part? The man was extremely skilled!"You…" Pamela began.When she saw that her bodyguards were all eliminated, her face grew cold. The next second, she quickly took out a silver tube from her purse. There was the pattern of a peacock on the tube.It was the Royal Flush!Journi was also someone quite experienced. When she realized what it was, she couldn't control herself an
