Dan chuckled when he heard it, then said with a calm smile, "What are you talking about, Clarion? While we're not brothers sharing the same parents, we're closer than anyone. I have to come check up on you the moment I hear something has happened to you. Not to mention, something so serious happened at my casino. Plenty of people are looking at us right now. "Since you're the only survivor, you must know who the murderer is. Don't worry, just tell me who he is. It doesn't matter if this person is thoroughly wicked or pretends to be a saint, I will get vengeance for you!"Dan shot Harvey a meaningful look. There was no need for him to explain what he meant by that."This…" Clarion was no fool, so of course he knew what Dan meant. But looking at Harvey's dry smile, he felt that something wasn't right. "Dan, I think… I think you should let me do this! I'm a man, so there are some things that I must do personally. I will repay kindness with kindness, and violence with violence…""That
Harvey smiled. "Some things are as clear as day. Is there a need for someone to inform me or make uneducated guesses?"Dan's expression became even stranger when he heard Harvey's words that didn't deny nor acknowledge his accusation. He feigned a sincere attitude and said, "No matter what, I can tell you right here and now that I don't have any malicious intent toward you. Of course, we do have some misunderstandings lingering from the time at Wolsing and Forbidden Wasteland, but those who harmed you have already been punished."I believe someone like Young Master Harvey must be very tolerant and forgiving. You'll give them a chance to repent, won't you? Of course, if Prince York believes that I need to bear responsibility for everything, then that's fine too. On behalf of all my people, I can offer you their apologies…"Dan's expression was one of sincerity, as if he was truly being respectful of Harvey. However, from the tone of his speech and the way he kept on changing Harv
"Really, how can you send a message like that to me after Mr. Harvey saved you? Now that things have gone overboard, it's going to get problematic even if I want to speak on your behalf," Dan said with a disappointed look, as if he truly wished Clarion would repay Harvey's kindness.Clarion's eye twitched. "Dan, that's not what happened. The truth is…"He couldn't finish the sentence. Should he say that Harvey was the one who sent the message? The problem was that no one would believe it! No matter how stupid Harvey was, he wouldn't have actively sent out that message, right?Clarion was still hoping that Dan could see this was Harvey's strategy, but now, he understood everything. It didn't matter if this was a scheme. What was important was that with things having reached this stage, Dan was going to give up on him."Alright, no need to explain. Drink this wine and apologize to Mr. Harvey," Dan said as he gave the other glass to Clarion. "From now onward, stay with him and study
Dan's eyes narrowed as he looked outside the window. "I have three objectives. Firstly, I wanted to see the legendary Harvey York myself. How can I remain calm if I don't see him myself and see what kind of monster he is? How can my followers remain assured? Especially when an outsider like him has been causing all kinds of commotions in Grand City for so long and coming for my rightful place."Neve bit her lip. "That fool Harvey is really quite disgusting."But when Neve said that, her expression looked a little guilty. Dan acted as if he didn't see it and simply said, "Secondly, I wanted to give Clarion some pressure. He failed to complete something so simple and didn't contact me after such a huge loss, and he let Harvey stir up a storm in Grand City. I need him to know that all of this is within my control."Neve observed him thoughtfully. "Thirdly, I need the entire Grand City to know that everything is still within my control. Just because Harvey is here, doesn't mean so
Harvey didn't have much to say when it came to enjoying a drink with someone. From a certain angle, it represented the host's sincerity.He glanced at Alexei. Without wasting any time, he immediately got into Clarion's car.Half an hour later, Harvey was back in Grand City and arrived at Parkerville's territory.They arrived at a huge estate at the border of Grand City, filled with primal forests. They could see plenty of wildlife within.When Harvey and Clarion entered this place, they saw an aged man with white hair in black garb, holding a bow and firing at prey far away. No prey could escape his rain of arrows. Harvey counted all manners of beasts among his targets—panthers, wolves, and tigers.He was impressed with Otto's archery skills. Otto didn't miss. Harvey could tell that he didn't even channel the energy within him or use any martial arts technique. He simply used his physical abilities.All Harvey could say was that it was so rare to see an aged man with such strengt
Clap! Clap! Clap!A loud clapping sound filled the air. They saw Otto walking over, clapping. He looked at Harvey with an admiring gaze."As expected of one who managed to strike back against multiple enemies. Not only can you fight, but your mastery over your emotions isn't something the new generation in Grand City, who has enjoyed life so excessively, can compare to. Clarion has been poking the bear again and again. You're already showing us some respect by letting him live." The more Otto spoke to Harvey, the more impressed he was. Originally, he wanted to show off to Harvey. Yet, Harvey showed no shock and remained calm. Harvey's control over his emotions was something that even Otto didn't have in his youth. When he thought of that, his impression of Harvey improved even more.Harvey wasn't feeling too proud about it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise. May I know your name…?"Otto said gently, "Didn't Clarion tell you? My name is Otto Parker."Harv
Otto didn't waste his time. He signaled a maid to get a wet towel to clean his hands. After that, he sat down directly and personally brewed a cup of warm Phoenix Tails tea.Harvey picked it up and gave it a sip. He praised it, saying, "The taste and the temperature are superb. This is very good, indeed. I have a few antique cups from the mid-12th century made by the imperial potters at the time. I believe those cups are best suited for tasting the tea. I'll have my men make some arrangements after I'm back and send it to you."When Otto heard about it, his eyes widened with interest. "Antique cups from the 12th century? Good, good! I definitely won't say no to something like that. Forget about having one-third of your talents; if my son has one-third of your skills in navigating social situations, I'll be content!"When Otto said that, the more he looked at Clarion, the more upset he felt. It was as if he wanted to kick his son to the curb.Harvey smiled quietly and didn't react t
Clarion shuddered and looked at Otto in disbelief after he heard what Harvey had to say. He never expected that his old man, who wanted to retire, had been making plans for him all along.Otto gave Harvey a deep look before waving his hand and said, "Alright. Have someone prepare the wine! I'm going to accept Harvey as my younger brother now. Let me put it this way. I didn't have a daughter. If I do, I'd want you to become my son-in-law no matter what! You can bring prosperity to my family!"Otto's expression was one of disappointment.Harvey's mouth twitched as he said, "That's too much, Mr. Otto. It's pointless, too…""Alright, let's talk about something useful then," Otto said with a laugh. "No matter what your intentions are from now on, whether you want to take all three halls or you want to become the mayor, you'll have my full support!"-The drinks took an entire night. When it was almost dawn, Harvey moved to leave.Luckily, they were only drinking bottles of 30-year-ol
