“Of course not. It wouldn’t do anything good,” Harvey replied.“I’ll drag Grandma Bolton’s soul back using geomancy.”“That way, I’ll force her back to life.”“Huh?”“Geomancy?”“Are you serious?”Lochlan looked at him, bewildered.“Are you insane?”“How dare you say something like that here! Do you think Mr. Bolton is crazy enough to let you do anything here?”“I can assure you that he’s just a conman, Mr. Bolton!”“Get him out of here!”“Stop disturbing me from saving the patient!”Azrael’s face darkened; he didn’t think a conman would show up here, of all places.Then he remembered that Saul was the one who brought Harvey here, and he hesitated.Judging from the relationship between the Hermit Families, Saul definitely wouldn’t bring Harvey here if Harvey wasn’t actually capable.Harvey ignored Lochlan’s outburst and looked at Grandma Bolton, his face grim. “If I’m guessing correctly, Mr. Anderson.”“You’re planning to stick three needles in Grandma Bolton’s body.”
“Harvey…”“No, no! Master York!”“You really are impressive! As expected from the man Mr. Robbins brought!”“I was ignorant just now. I apologize!”Lochlan quickly bowed.“Judging from what you’ve said, there should be a sixty percent chance of bringing Grandma Bolton back.”“Why would you still use geomancy despite that?”“I’m not doubting you. I just don’t understand…”Harvey smiled.“Since you’re an Eastern medical expert, you should know that martial arts are usually involved.”“Martial arts are deeply connected to geomancy arts.”“The traditions of Country H are never solitary.”“The chances of your needle techniques being related to geomancy are highly likely.”“In my eyes, you’re trying to do the same thing as me.”“Your way is just a little less effective.”“After all, Grandma Bolton has the Soul Drift.”“Food poisoning is just a front.”‘Soul Drift?!’Everyone froze after hearing those words.Lochlan’s expression turned awful. In Eastern medicine, that nam
Harvey wasted no time taking out some paper and cinnabar to make a talisman.After seeing his fluid movements, the crowd brushed off their initial shock.They thought that he only got lucky to get Lochlan’s confidence.‘Can he really save someone using geomancy?’A lot of people couldn’t believe it.Some of the doctors had puzzled expressions.‘Soul Drift?!’‘He isn’t just saving her at this point!’‘He’s fighting against death itself!’Harvey quickly drew five talismans, then looked at Grandma Bolton. He closed and reopened his eyes, and his aura changed completely.Azrael and the others could feel his fierce aura, as if he could change reality as he pleased.Tap, tap, tap!Harvey quickly flung the talismans away.They landed right on the spots he had named before.He burned the cinnabar in his hand into flames, and flicked it toward the talismans, lighting them up instantly.The crowd gasped as they watched. Everything looked just like a movie!They couldn’t believe
After dealing with Grandma Bolton’s predicament, Harvey was completely exhausted. Saving lives was a lot more tiring than killing.However, Azrael and Lochlan were eager to invite him out.Harvey had no choice but to agree, but he needed a change of clothes, since he was drenched in his own sweat.More importantly, he needed to tell Mandy that Lilian was fine.Harvey called a cab and headed back to the Zimmer family villa.Everyone was gathered inside.Aside from the Zimmer family, Gabriel and Avery were there too.Even Silas showed up shamelessly, disregarding what he had done before.They looked horrible—they didn’t know that Lilian had been freed.Harvey was confused. He had already told Saul to ask for Soren’s help, but somehow, Lilian was still locked up.Simon was furious to see Harvey come home late.“Harvey!”“Why are you still outside when the family’s in such big trouble? At least help us out!”“I can’t believe we actually got a live-in son-in-law like you! What
Everyone was shocked. There was light at the end of the tunnel, after all.Lilian didn’t suffer behind bars, and she even got 1.5 million dollars as compensation. Safe to say, the losses of her shop were sufficiently repaid.Lilian was proud about it; the more miserable she was when she in jail, the cockier she got when she was bailed out.Thinking of the second-in-command respectfully apologizing to her, she felt even more refreshed.Simon was exhilarated as well. He told Lilian everything that had happened, then looked at Silas with admiration.“There’s something you don’t know, honey. Without Silas’s help, you wouldn’t be able to get out that easily. Mr. Bolton wouldn’t even compensate you with that much money in the first place.”“You probably still would be in jail at this point!”“Aunt Anderson’s still stuck behind bars, and she’s not getting any compensation either.”Simon patted Silas’s shoulder gratefully.“What a good kid.”He was filled with admiration, thinking th
Harvey frowned. Before he could say anything, Mandy already spoke up for him.“Enough, Gabriel. I have a husband,” she said, frowning.Mandy had already decided to break off from Silas once and for all.She didn’t want to remain friends after their cooperation, either.Who knew that Lilian would owe Silas such a huge favor?“Husband?”“That kept man’s your husband?”Gabriel chuckled coldly.“Father and Mother told me about it already,” he said arrogantly. “Ever since he became the family’s live-in son-in-law, he hasn’t done a single thing for the past three years.”“And after you divorced him, he’s still here trying to leech the family!”“What’s the point of keeping someone like that here?”Avery laughed as well. “We need him to clean up the toilets, of course!”“What are you saying?”Gabriel pretended to look angry, and continued to mock Harvey. “Did you forget?”“Sir York here has relations with Kairi Patel herself!”“Maybe he begged for her to help this time!”Ga
Silas said such profound words, and behaved so politely. Lilian was very much satisfied with him.His looks and personality were no different from protagonists of TV dramas.Just like the protagonists, he was a romantic man; he was infatuated with Mandy, which was why he remained single for a long time.If Harvey was out of the picture, Mandy would be able to finally marry Silas. The Zimmer family would gain a powerful backer.And then, the Jean family would probably make Mandy the head of the family.Compared to the top tenth family of Country H, the John family was simply superior.Lilian looked at her future son-in-law, pleased as punch.Simon smiled gently. “Oh, Silas. Mandy will need your help to stand her ground in Golden Sands,” Lilian said. “You should take care of her.”“Don’t let other people take advantage of her!”Silas smiled back.“You’re overexaggerating.”“I’ll always spoil Mandy like a little princess, no matter what!”“I’ll give the entire world for
Seven o’clock at night, at the entrance of the Golden Plaza.The place was luxurious, lit up by dazzling bright lights.Two rows of beautiful women in gorgeous dresses stood at the entrance.After parking the car, Silas and the Zimmer family walked to the entrance haughtily.They felt proud when they saw such a grand entrance.Lilian even wanted to record a video to show off to her friend group.She would let herself down if she passed on that opportunity!A woman stepped forward to welcome them, blocking Silas and the others with a smile.“Hello. Are you Mr. York?”“Mr. York?”Gabriel was furious.“Are you insane?!”“I’m Gabriel—your manager’s good friend!”“I booked the Heavenly Box here!”Gabriel felt pompous after saying those words.Usually, he wouldn’t be able to afford the Heavenly Box. After all, the starting price of the room cost at least twelve thousand dollars.The people who could afford it had powerful statuses as well. The ladies here would suck up to suc
