"Not to mention, during the decade that the ex-mayor had disappeared, the entire Grand City had lost their respect toward him and the Belladonna Cult. Even you have become someone who only existed in the fringe. While Grand City looks like it didn't have a singular leader, the Hierophant's prophecy was guiding everything."That’s why we must be patient. On the one hand, we needed to make Harvey accept all of this. On the other hand, we have to rebuild a solid foundation as we advance. We will make the entirety of Grand City understand that the Belladonna Cult is still the same cult that rules over all! Only then can we obtain everything he has left for us."Then, Geoffrey cleared his throat. "Even I can wait for so long. I believe you'll be fine, correct?"Vaida gave it a thought, but she still hesitated. It was good for her that someone like Harvey, who fit the prophecy, appeared. But the problem was… This was supposed to be done slowly. Trouble was brewing underneath Grand City. H
"Oh, right," Geoffrey remembered something else. "While Harvey was the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, his identity isn't accepted by the seven families of Grand City. In other words, he has no support in Grand City at all. Even if everyone recognized that he is indeed your man of destiny, it's difficult for him to become mayor. Grand City is no longer the same city as it was a decade ago."Vaida frowned and said, "Getting Harvey to garner support in Grand City is not difficult. Find a way to make him the leader of the Belladonna Cult. Before making him the mayor, we can make him the cult leader first."That way, not only can we make it easier for Harvey, but we can also disgust the hell out of Dan. He's been obsessed with taking over the cult, right? Does he really think he can become mayor after becoming the leader of two of the seven families? He's dreaming!"Geoffrey was speechless. "Things aren't as easy as you think. If you simply give the cult to Harvey
Harvey could not stop rolling his eyes as he could feel his head throbbing again, but he still suppressed what he was feeling. "Thanks, but I don't like anything too greasy in the morning. I prefer vegetarian if possible. You can put the deep-fried hoppers aside. I'll reheat it in the afternoon."Vaida blinked her beautiful eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "I see. We'll set it aside for now, then. This is a local delicacy in Grand City. You can't even buy this with money.""Thanks; I appreciate it," replied Harvey, feeling the pressure. He had no choice but to get himself a bowl of oats with milk and slowly eat it. Harvey was worried Vaida might add something special to the oats or milk, but after eating, he realized there was nothing weird in it. It was just delicious.If food also had realms, while this was not at the level of a True Warrior, it was definitely at the level of a King of Arms. That was something that Harvey found surprising."Right, Harvey. I heard you become
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights. That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests. All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.” Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.” “Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…” “Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…” “Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…” “Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…” “...” “Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation. The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude. Lo
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu
Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi
“An explanation? Why should I give you an explanation?” Harvey said coldly. “First, Mandy is my wife. Please stay away from her. If you want to make a scene, go someplace else!“Second, if my wife loves roses, I’ll buy them for her! She’s so gorgeous. How could such plain and cheap things suit her? I’ll send her the roses from Prague tonight itself!” “What the f*ck! Are you mentally retarded or just plain stupid? One rose from Prague costs more than a thousand dollars. I heard that you were asking for a scooter from Senior Zimmer yesterday. You’re just a good-for-nothing. Even if you sell your kidney out, you couldn’t even afford to buy one of those. Why are you so daring, putting up a show here?” Don appeared cold. He enjoyed a privileged status in York Enterprise. ‘How can a son-in-law like him talk to me like this?’ Besides, the thing which infuriated him the most was the incident in which Harvey smashed his flowers and dragged Mandy into the elevator. ‘What the hell did the
“Sir, I’ll report to the chief immediately. You…” “Don’t try to bargain with me. Otherwise, I’ll ruin the entire York Enterprise!”Before the person at the other end of the phone could speak, Harvey hung up the phone immediately.... In the Gold Coast Villa area, every villa was specifically designed by an internationally famous designer. From the type of ceramic tiles up until the type of trees, they were all chosen with great care. It was indeed not a place where one could afford to buy even though they were rich. At that moment, Harvey was sitting casually on the sofa at the balcony. Across him was the current chief of the Yorks—Yonathan York. He was Harvey’s uncle, and he was the one who asked his driver to pick Harvey up and gave him a ride to the villa just now. Looking at the carefree Harvey, Yonathan smiled and said, “Harv, we haven’t met each other for so many years now. You seem so much more handsome and energetic…” “Uncle, we don’t have to beat around the bush
