Chapter 7013
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

"What other situations are developing right now? No matter how many changes there are, the only person who can become mayor is Dan. Vaida is mentally unstable, and Alexei is useless. The two of them will never have the chance to become mayor," Clarion said determinedly.So what if Harvey was unmatchable in terms of martial arts? So what if he was the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance?In Grand City, was there another outside the Seven Families capable of becoming the mayor? Not to mention, at least half of the seven families will support Dan in becoming the mayor. In a situation like this, can Harvey do anything impactful in Grand City? He would fall eventually.Clarion believed that he could befriend Harvey, true. He knew he owed Harvey one, but there was no need to bet his entire family on him."Oh, you. You still can't think this through," Otto said with a sigh. "Why don't you think about how he managed to get his identity as Representative of Country H Martial A

Clarion sneered when he heard that. "Harvey's dead meat if he goes against the Chief Instructor! No matter how powerful he is, can he face off and win against the Chief Instructor? He was the living legend of the Ministry of Defense!"Otto shook his head. "It'd be fine if it was just the Top Ten families and the Five Hidden Families. They like to scatter their investments. But there's something different about the Four Pillars. When they invest, they're usually very accurate. They never fail when they have to pick a die. Since they're choosing to side with Harvey, it means there are factors we don't know. I don't know the reason, but it doesn't stop us from investing in Harvey to a certain degree, understand?"Otto had already stepped away from the front line, but his long history of being in a power struggle made him extremely sensitive to certain changes in the wind. From some clues, he could already find out a lot of things.For example, Harvey was an extremely rare commodity.

While Otto and Clarion were both reflecting on the matter regarding the casino, the butler for the estate ran in. He was holding his phone and yelled, "Mr. Clarion! We have a problem!"Otto and Clarion instantly looked at him with a slight frown. The butler gave the phone to Otto. When the two of them read the news app on the screen, they blinked in surprise. "Clarion Parker and Sky Plane Had a Fallout! Sky Plane Suspected of Committing Genocide!"The words were red and the title shocking.Clarion's expression turned dark at this moment. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Which idiot… Which idiot wrote this? I'm going to kill him!"This pinned the death of everyone at the casino on him. It didn't matter how talented he was and how powerful his family background was, he couldn't afford to bear this blame! This could completely sever the second branch of the Parker family!Otto's expression turned dark as well. He knew how bad this would be once the news spread. Even if there was

But Clarion didn't care about Neve's signal despite how much he liked her.He simply looked straight at Dan and said slowly, "It's my fault to come here without an invitation, but I have a reason to do so! Something's making me unable to hold myself back! I hope you can give me an explanation…"Clarion pulled out his phone and tapped open a news article, putting it in front of Dan. When Neve saw how Clarion dared to question Dan directly, her expression darkened. She instinctively glanced at the content, and her eyes twitched. While Dan did say that he would pin the blame on Clarion, she didn't expect that Dan would make Clarion take the fall for everything.Neve was smart enough to see the truth—someone was doing this to get back at Dan, and Clarion was only taking the fall. However, she didn't say it out loud so as not to complicate matters. Dan didn't reply and simply asked curiously, "Why do you think that this is my doing and not that Harvey you've aligned with right now?
