"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."
Elric nodded and said in a superficial manner, "Don't you worry. We won't let the two of them go just like that…"Pamela wanted to say something—but in the next instance, she suddenly screamed and her whole body started to shake."What's happening? What's happening to you?" Elric asked nervously.Pamela's face twisted in pain. She couldn't stop herself from convulsing and screaming in agony."Quick! Just say yes to whatever he wants! Just say yes! Tell him to save me! Save me! I don't want to die! It hurts so much…!" -In the evening, Harvey and Journi went into the Stanton residence. They came after receiving Elric's call.In one afternoon, Elric had made at least 30 calls. Other than begging Harvey to show him some mercy, he even begged Journi. The chairman that was sanctimonious and holier-than-thou had finally given up all his pride.He kept on begging and begging, hoping Harvey could save Pamela. He even promised to do everything Harvey wanted. However, time was of the
"This is the proof of my sincerity," Elric said, giving Harvey a serious look."This is not enough," Harvey said calmly.Elric's eye slightly twitched, and continued, "Secondly, this is your official appointment letter." He took out another thing."I have ten more days left as the chairman. Ten days later, you'll be Country H Commercial Group's new chairman. With this list, this seal, and this appointment letter, it will already be enough for you to take part in the Commercial Group's daily operations from now on."Elric looked at Harvey with mixed feelings."Everyone knows what to do when someone like me is leaving his post. From now on, no one in the group is going to listen to what an old timer like me has to say. Also, I will no longer interfere with my daughter's marriage. I don't care if you're really a couple or you're just faking it, my daughter is free either way." When Journi heard what Elric was saying, she shuddered a little, feeling like she was in a daze. She cou
