"Everything at his disposal?" Veer suddenly chuckled. "Eridan, no one can underestimate the power the School of Astrologers holds. While you can't be compared with the top families like the top ten families or the five hidden families, you're definitely more powerful than the usual first-class families."While mysterious, all of us had heard about Evermore. The School of Astrologers is involved in all kinds of legal and criminal activities right now. You tell me you never heard of Evermore? You're making it even more obvious now."In the end, your hubris is your own undoing. Do you think the Judds can be fooled that easily? Do you think you can do whatever you want to us just because our family is no longer bearing our fangs?"Veer's eyes grew colder as he said those words. Someone like him couldn't be friendly all the time. Only when he was angry would the terror that was the Judds of Wolsing reveal themselves.Harvey smiled. "Right. I can tell Mr. Veer about the traits of the tec
Eridan's attack was sudden and bizarre. Despite it being a simple move, it was fast, brutal, and accurate. It was obvious his attack against Reginald was a decisive attack. It was all or nothing. Not only did he not leave any leeway for Reginald, he didn't leave any for himself as well.In other words, it was either him or Reginald who was going to die.Unfortunately, despite all the plots Eridan had hatched, he was still not fast and powerful enough. When his attack was going to hit Reginald's throat, Reginald easily caught Eridan's left hand and once again crushed it in a crack.After Reginald's two attacks had connected, Reginald kicked Eridan away and to the floor. Without his orders, two of the Judd family's warrior elites immediately appeared and seized control over Eridan. There was a small blade appearing between Reginald's fingers, reflecting a faint blue light."Evermore's Reaping Blade," Reginald sighed. "You've just acknowledged you're part of Evermore in another way."
"It's normal. Evermore seeks immortality. If they want immortality, it means they need to wield sufficient prestige, political influence, and wealth. Our country has many legends regarding immortality and gods, so it's not strange for them to do their best to take over our country," Reginald said calmly."While they had failed a decade ago, it's normal for them to make another move after they had stayed low for so many years. But after what happened all those years ago, they'd most likely remain discreet this time. However, it also meant they'd be even more terrifying this time.""A decade ago?" Harvey frowned. He didn't know that. Reginald could tell that Harvey was becoming curious. After some hesitation, he said, "You're a little young, Master Harvey, so it's possible you never heard of it. About more than a decade ago, Evermore managed to mass infiltrate all the top factions within our country."They had a secret operation in the Keale Mountains. It was rumored that the reason
Harvey left the Judd residence soon and paid little attention to the clean-up that the family had to go through later. However, he knew blood would be spilled throughout the family after this. To a family like the Judds, they would never allow traitors to exist within their family.-Before dawn broke after Harvey had cleaned up the mess in the Judd residence, a figure appeared before Eridan as he bent over lying on the floor within the prison operated by the Dragon Cell in Wolsing."Useless! All of you are useless! The School of Astrologers had kept all of you around for so many years, but you couldn't even achieve something so simple! Why didn't you just die?"The figure didn't do much, but a simple kill was enough to make Eridan suffer so much that he almost died. Eridan shuddered for a moment before crawling up and said, "I've failed your trust! It's entirely my fault! But don't you worry, I didn't betray Evermore! I didn't say anything!""It's fortunate you didn't say anyth
In the afternoon, Harvey was once again at the Judd family residence in Wolsing. After the commotion last night, the entire residence had become cleaner and much more elegant.Harvey personally went to visit Marleen's grandmother. Once he was sure she was recovering, he looked once again around and gave some geomancy advice to Veer so the latter could restore the configuration around the residence back to normal.This was called reciprocating.While Harvey did help the Judds last night, Veer's call in the morning explained just how much importance the Judds had placed on Harvey.Harvey knew the way of the streets. Once he had his breakfast, he made his way back to the residence. On one hand, he wanted to find more information about something. On the other hand, he wanted to completely eliminate some of the problems remaining within the residence.Once Harvey was almost done, Veer invited Harvey to the dining room for lunch. It was almost time for lunch anyway, so Harvey didn't ref
Veer's phone started to vibrate at this time as well. He instinctively picked up his mobile and gave it a look before offering Harvey an apologetic smile. Then, they stood up and walked away to greet the uninvited guests.Harvey narrowed his eyes. One who could appear at this time and required Veer to invite him… It was definitely not anyone with a low status. Not to mention, to come right at this time… This newcomer was most likely coming for him, too.When that thought crossed his mind, Harvey didn't stand up and simply started to drink the coffee from his cup.Very quickly, a pair of well-dressed couple appeared outside the door, led by Veer. The man was wearing a traditional garb. The woman, despite her makeup, was sitting quietly in the wheelchair and was being pushed in.When Harvey saw the two of them, he wasn't sure if he should smile.It was the chairman of Country H Commercial Group, Elric, and his wife, Pamela."Allow me to introduce you, Harvey. This is an important p
As the leader of the Judd family and having spent so much time in the community of the social elites, Veer was no doubt very experienced. He could sense the enmity from both sides, and couldn't help but frown. It was obvious something upsetting had happened between them repeatedly.From Veer's angle, he didn't want to offend Harvey. However, Elric's identity was also quite high, and he couldn't simply cross Ekruc as well.After giving it a thought, Veer smiled and tried to calm the two of them down. "Is there a misunderstanding between the two of you? I wonder if I have the chance to become the peacemaker and help the two of you make peace?"Harvey smiled as well. "Mr. Veer, I think it's best you don't interfere. There's too much involved. I don't want to drag the Judd family into this as well."Then, Harvey gave Pamela a good look and said with a smile, "You must be in a lot of pain right now, Pamela. As if your entire body is giving way. Just a little shaking is enough to make yo
For someone like Elric, who had survived a long time in Wolsing, he knew the importance of making alliances.If he couldn't kill Harvey, it would be best if he could drag the Judds of Wolsing at a critical time. Elric believed that if the Judds of Wolsing were willing to work with him, it would be easy to kill Harvey. Or rather, it would be easy to force Harvey to surrender.When Veer heard Elric's words, he smiled—however, his smile was stern. He was also very experienced, so of course he understood the provocation in Elric's words. He had introduced Elric to Harvey out of the goodness of his heart, but Elric wanted to stab him in the back in the end instead. It made Veer livid. Veer slowly walked forward and patted Elric's shoulder. "There's something you don't know, Elric. We won't pursue him if he doesn't take us seriously at all. We still won't do it even if he humiliates us out in the open. If he needs it, we will even ask our multimedia companies to help him promote this."
