“You’re embarrassing!” Simon screamed. “From now on, don’t you dare step in the family’s front door from now on!”“If you do, I’ll kick you out like a stray dog!”Facing the crowd’s disdainful gazes, Simon was boiling with anger.He wouldn’t dare lash out at Esther, so he had no choice but to vent all his anger on Harvey.“Ignore this dirtbag, Father,” Gabriel said.“Since he’s so rich that he can make his own decisions, we’ll let him take responsibility.”“Come on, we shouldn’t be near this idiot. People will think that we’re actually with him.”Gabriel hated Harvey to the bone. Because of Harvey, he and his wife were almost dead yesterday.Esther sized up Harvey. After confirming that Harvey wasn’t capable of anything, she chuckled coldly.“We don’t try to please the crowd here.”“If you’re going to be a clown, go outside.”Harvey smiled calmly before putting the shards on the ground. Then, he squeezed the wooden fish lightly.Crack!A rock the size of a thumb was foun
Harvey squinted at the rock in his hand, ignoring everyone in the process.Using his geomancy, he noticed the rock was shining slightly.There was something covering the rock on the outside, making it seem that there was treasure hidden inside.Harvey smiled at Esther, then asked, “Can you lend me some tools?”Esther froze, then scoffed.“Even if there’s a small gem inside…”“It’d be crazy for it to be even a hundred and fifty thousand dollars!”“You really think there’d be insane treasure inside?”“You want to earn money in the geomancy market? Are you out of your mind?”Despite saying all that, Esther waved her hand and had someone give Harvey some tools. She wanted to humiliate Harvey even more.“Is that so?”“You must be quite experienced, Ms. John.”“That said, there are no absolutes in this world.”“There are a lot of things beyond your comprehension.”Under everyone’s gaze, Harvey grabbed some tools and slowly chipped away the sand on the rock. Soon, a half-transpa
Harvey handled the gem, ignoring the crowd.Esther frowned; she didn’t believe what Kian said at all.‘An Augustea hiding in a random statue?’‘From Caesar Augustus himself?’‘What a joke!’‘There’s no way everyone here could miss out on the gem!’Harvey’s movements were slower and steadier. Nobody dared to say a single word. Pin-drop silence filled the hall. They wanted Harvey to show the true form of the gem, but they were also afraid of him breaking it. It’d be unforgivable if that happened.Soon, everyone could see the whole gem.It was smooth, plump, and translucent. Even an ordinary person could tell that there was a slight glimmer on the gem’s surface.Those who can use geomancy arts could tell it was shining with a bright aura. Kian’s eyes lit up instantly.“It really is Caesar’s Augustea!”“I only saw the same thing from before, when I was in India’s royal temple.”“I didn’t think I’d see it again!”“Legends say that there are only nine of these in the entire
Harvey York smiled faintly.“Go ahead.”Compared to the others, Harvey was perfectly calm.He had seen too many things like the Augustea. He was already desensitized by the sight at this point.That said, he was still interested in the so-called legend of eternal life.The gem would be good bait.Kian Foster respectfully took the Augustea from Harvey’s hand before pulling out his magnifying glass to inspect it.At the same time, he brought out a few precision instruments to appraise the gem.Harvey was completely speechless. He did not expect Kian would have something that could detect isotopes in a gemstone.Those instruments would usually be found inside a laboratory.After a long while, Kian started to get ecstatic.“That’s right! The isotopes here are the same as the one with India’s royal family!“This is one of the nine pieces of Caesar’s Augustea!“It’s an honor!“It’s a great honor!“I never thought I’d see something like this in my lifetime!”Simon Zimmer and t
After stepping out of the Empire Hall, Simon Zimmer excitedly extended his hand.“Harvey! Give me the Augustea!”He was exhilarated by the thought of the priceless gem.He already decided to give this to the Jean family!That way, he would have a chance to make a comeback and become the head of the family!This was God’s gift! He was not planning to let this chance slip by!He believed he would be better suited to rise to power than his daughter.Simon showed a righteous expression after thinking about his life filled with debauchery.Gabriel Lee was jealous after seeing the sight in front of him.“The gem belongs to Harvey, Father! It’s unfair to take it from him!”“What do you mean by that?Simon was not planning to speak reason after thinking about his beautiful future.“I picked the statue myself!“I was planning to haggle for it!“And then this b*stard showed up!“How dare he?“Clearly, the statue belongs to me!Then, Simon glared at Harvey York.“Enough of this!
Simon Zimmer was irritable at this moment.This was his only chance to become the head of the Jean family! This was his dream opportunity!‘How dare this b*stard try to stop me like this?!‘Does he want to die or something?!‘He should be handing me the gem right now!’Harvey York calmly smiled.“I’m sorry, but I need this for something else.“I can’t just hand this to you.”Harvey wanted to lure Evermore with the gem. He could not just give it away that easily.More importantly, with Simon’s capabilities, he would not be able to keep it safe.He could lose his life if he were not careful.Harvey would never hand the gem over because of this.“What did you say, you b*stard?!Simon was utterly infuriated after hearing Harvey’s words.“I painstakingly picked this out myself!“How dare you try to take this from me?!“Do you even have a heart, you b*stard?!”Harvey let out a chuckle.“Be reasonable, Father.“I have the receipt, yet you tell me the gem’s yours? That’s a l
Harvey York called Thomas Burton for him to park the Audi outside the geomancy market. Then, Harvey told him to leave the car before hopping into the driver’s seat and stepping on the gas.The monks trailing him quickly changed expressions before they went inside their van.After going around in circles, Harvey drove to Indigo Mountain before arriving at the abandoned house where Kellan Ruiz was previously found.Harvey stepped out of the car and grabbed a bottle of soda from the trunk to sip while he washed his hands.Before a minute passed, the van quickly drove over before suddenly stopping right before Harvey.The monks looked at each other with peculiar expressions when they saw Harvey casually drinking his soda.They realized that Harvey had already known about their presence. Safe to say that Harvey was at least reasonably capable.That said, they walked out of the van without paying that to mind.All of them were wearing cassocks with blades in their hands. They were sh
Harvey York squinted. They clearly took the bait.He sized up the monks for a short while before speaking up.“You look like you’re monks, but you’re actually from Evermore, right?“If I guess correctly, Blaine John sent you here.“His goal is to collect the items related to eternal life.“He wouldn’t let Caesar’s Augustea go now that it’s out in public.“You came without even having the time to change your clothes.“That said, do you reckon I should go for Blaine first before the Oeus Temple once you people are dead?”“How did you know that?After hearing Harvey’s calm words, the leading monk looked serious.“How did you know that Young Master John belonged to Evermore?”He could no longer pretend to be righteous when he fiercely squinted at Harvey at that moment.Harvey was able to guess the person backing them along with the existence of Evermore. He seemed extremely casual about the overall situation despite the danger in front of him…Safe to say that Harvey was no ea
