Chapter 8
Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
Harvey initially wanted to say something, but when he saw Howard’s behavior, he shook his head and did not say anything. Instead, he walked to Shirley’s side and said, “Shall we go together? I’m afraid there’ll be trouble later.”

“This…” Shirley hesitated a bit. She did have a good relationship with Harvey during college, but obviously, Howard was the main character tonight. If she left now, would she not offend Howard?

On the other hand, when Howard saw that Harvey was still there and even hooked up with the beautiful classmate—Shirley, his face darkened. He stared at him. “Harvey, it’s fine if you don’t get out. Now you still want to take our beautiful classmate with you. Who do you think you are? Are you a successful person? Don’t forget! You are a live-in son-in-law, and we feel ashamed to have a classmate like you!”

“That’s right! All our classmates are doing so well. You are a disgrace!”

“Hurry up and get out! Shirley, he’s a live-in son-in-law. You must not be fooled by him!”

Howard was the main character tonight. These classmates had been in society for a few years. They were not that capable but were all very good at flattering. At this moment, they were all insulting Harvey wantonly.

Harvey frowned. If it was not for the fear that Shirley would get into trouble later, he did not want to say anything more.

Meanwhile, Howard saw Harvey still not leaving and felt that he was losing face. He took out a bank card and threw it on the dining table. He sneered, “Waiter, bill, please. If someone does not give up, then I shall let him see that he could never afford this meal in a lifetime!”

Many people gasped after seeing Howard’s movements.

Silver card! Only people with more than one million assets could apply for it.

They never thought that Howard had such an accomplishment at a young age. Appearance could be deceptive.

On the other hand, Harvey was poor and was a loser. How could the gap between two people be so big?

Sure enough, even Wendy could not help but look at Howard several times when she saw this silver card. It seemed that this guy was quite capable.

Howard was delighted when he saw the beauty’s approving eyes. He stared at Harvey and continued. “No, I suddenly changed my mind again. Waiter, let’s go Dutch tonight. One for his share and the rest will be on me. Please help me separate the bill into two.”

The waiter nodded and went down.

Shirley felt bad for Harvey at this moment. Would it not be better if he had left just now? The meal for tonight was estimated to be tens of thousands, and the average consumption per person would be more than a thousand. Could Harvey afford the bill?

Shirley sighed when she thought about this. She quietly took out her bank card. She had to help settle the bill for Harvey so as not to embarrass him.

At this moment, the waiter who was holding the card, and a man who seemed to be the manager walked quickly into the private room.

The waiter bowed at Howard with an apologetic look and said. “Sir, I’m sorry, the balance in your card is insufficient.”

Howard was stunned for a moment. He then said furiously, “Are you joking?! I still have millions in my card, how could you tell me that the balance is insufficient?!”

“Yes, sir. I’m sorry. The meal for tonight was about 1.8 million dollars. You still have to pay 1.7 million dollars after deducting this gentleman’s share…”

“Pfft…”

Harvey almost burst out laughing when he heard the number. It seemed impolite.

This Howard was indeed a douche. Although no one knew about the two bottles of wine that the waiter had brought up, Harvey did know about it.

It was the famous Eden XIII, a French original royal wine, with a retail price of around eight hundred thousand dollars. Howard had ordered two bottles just now, and the price was already over 1.6 million dollars.

Howard was shocked. He pointed at the waiter and said, “Are you kidding me? We have less than twenty people here. How could we almost spend about two million dollars? Bring your manager here. I want to see how corrupt your hotel is!”

The waiter sighed. He had already expected that. He then stepped back and said, “This is our manager.”

“Great!” Howard shouted while staring at the neatly dressed manager in front of him. “Are you planning to quit your jobs? How could the consumption per capita be one hundred thousand dollars? Do you know who I am? My cousin is Don Xander!”

The manager was not in a hurry. He said slowly, “Sir, I am so sorry. The meal was about tens of thousands of dollars only. However, you ordered two bottles of the top French wine—Eden XIII just now. Each cost eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars. So, you’ve got to pay 1.76 million dollars. It’s approximately 1.8 million dollars after adding up the meal. But since you are Mr. Xander’s cousin, we have already rounded up the figure…”

“Believe it or not, I’ll kill you!” Howard was so angry. He grabbed the manager’s shirt. “How do you have a wine that costs over eight hundred thousand dollars? Even if you do, I did not say I wanted such an expensive wine. I’ll call the police!”

The manager calmed himself down and slowly whipped Howard’s hand away.

He had been in this position for several years. Thus, he had seen all kinds of people in Niumhi before. However, this was the first time that he had seen someone who had no money but still pretended to be rich.

He said solemnly after taking a deep breath, “Mister, let me explain a few things to you. First, we have provided you the best wine that you requested. Second, our waiter wanted to remind you about the price twice, but you didn’t care. Third, all these things are being recorded, so we have evidence. If you want to call the police, feel free to do it.”

Clap, clap…

The manager clapped his hands gently after he finished his words.

Boom! The door of the private room was kicked open. Several brawny men in undershirts rushed in. All of them were fierce and gruesome.

When the security went to report to him just now, he already felt that someone would be causing trouble, so he had brought the bodyguards with him.

Howard broke out in a cold sweat and shivered. He then gritted his teeth and said, “Where is your boss? I want to see your boss! You are running a “black shop”!”

“So, do you mean that I opened a “black shop”?”

A young man with a buzzcut was wearing a white shirt and holding two wrist balls in his hand. He walked in with a smile.

He wore a pair of gold-framed glasses, looked daunting, but also evil at the same time. His appearance made people unconsciously gasp.

The owner of Platinum Hotel—Tyson Woods was considered one of the top individuals in Niumhi. Platinum Hotel was one of his properties.

Howard originally wanted to curse, but his sweat kept on dripping at this moment. This was Tyson Woods! He was a high profile person!

He did overdo it just now, saying that Don and Tyson were buddies. He knew that Don was nothing in front of Tyson.

Howard was just a working-class lad. How dare he mess with Tyson?

The manager said coldly after seeing the boss arrive, “Mister, you have a silver card and also holding an Audi car key. I guess you are not someone who can’t afford the bill. You asked for the best wine yourself and wanted two bottles at a time. Now, you refuse to pay for it.”

“No! I don’t dare to do that!” Howard said quickly, “We’ll pay, we’ll pay the bill!”

He looked at his classmates asking for help while talking. He only had over a million dollars left on his card. This was the entire fortune that he had worked hard for over the past few years. He even bought the Audi through installment loans. How could it be possible for him to take out 2 million dollars himself?

The classmates who were flattering him just now were all looking in other directions. ‘You wanted to show off and asked for the most expensive wine just now. What do you mean? Now, you want us to help you pay? Impossible!’

Tyson immediately saw through their thoughts. He slowly walked over and patted Howard’s face twice. He then said, “Boy, if you don’t have money, don’t pretend to be rich, keep a low profile, okay?”

“Yes, yes, yes…”

“You don’t have to pay for the bill tonight,” Tyson smiled. “But with one condition…”

“Please say it! Please! I’ll do my best…” Howard said with a pleading expression.

Tyson smiled wickedly. “Let her and her accompany me.”

His gaze swept across Wendy and then fell on Shirley. These two girls, one was sexy and the other was pure.

Instead, he grabbed the key on the table and was about to run.“Howard! You b*stard!” Wendy was trembling with anger. She never thought a gentleman like him would be a coward. The other classmates were also cowering.

    The next morning, Harvey who was still bleary-eyed and with messy hair went to the most prosperous business district in Niumhi by his electric bike.York Enterprise was located in this prime location.Yonathan called him last night and said that he had already completed the handover procedures for York Enterprise. If he signed the papers today, the company would belong to him.Harvey was quite concerned about this matter. After all, he bought the company with ten billion dollars. That was why he had rushed here early in the morning without eating any breakfast.Harvey was speechless when he reached the company. No wonder it was the most prosperous area in Niumhi. There were luxury cars everywhere. He rode on his electric bike here. If he just parked his bike casually, it would probably be carried away later.He took a circle around the company and finally found a parking space at the gate. He suddenly heard a squeal of brakes as soon as he had parked his bike.Then there was a ba

    “Are you asking me to leave?”Harvey laughed. How could an employee ask the boss to leave?“Don’t you understand my words? I’m asking you to leave! No matter who recruited you, I don’t care whatever background you have, in short, get out right now!” Wendy gritted her teeth.She took out a stack of money from her bag after speaking and threw it on the ground. She said fiercely, “You’re not leaving, are you? Don’t you just want money? Take the money and get out!”At this moment, a deafening horn sounded, the employees quickly dispersed, because a Bentley directly stopped at the parking space of the president.Then, a lady in her early twenties, wearing a white shirt, delicate leather pants, and a ponytail, quickly walked down while holding a pouch.Her appearance was about the same level as Wendy, but her temperament was incomparable to Wendy.She did not even look at other people and quickly walked to Harvey. She bowed ninety degrees and said, “I’m so sorry, Mr. York. There was t

    Wendy was blushing as Harvey was staring straight at her. She was embarrassed. She was still very arrogant in front of Harvey last night and even despised him sitting next to her. However, she was the one standing here today, waiting for his order.Harvey stared at her for a while. Although this old classmate of his seemed a bit cold, her nature was not that bad.He said calmly as soon as he thought of this. “I will not fire you for this matter. As for your promotion, show me how capable you are, then we’ll talk about it.”He ignored her after saying this. He had just taken over the company and still had not figured out how the company operated. How could he waste time talking nonsense with Wendy?Although Wendy was beautiful, Harvey had seen more beautiful women, at least his wife—Mandy was even prettier than her.…The president of York Enterprise had changed. All current investments were terminated. However, they had added 5 billion dollars to invest in high-quality projects.

    “Huh?” Harvey was stunned for a moment and forgot to swallow the steak in his mouth. Why did he not know when this was going to happen?Xynthia was even more disgusted when she saw Harvey gobbling. She said coldly, “I’m not afraid to tell you. Brother Don has officially proposed marriage to the Zimmer family. He will send the dowries tonight. If you are smart enough, just don’t do anything. If you aren’t…”Xynthia sneered when she said this. Although the Zimmer family ran a legitimate business, they still had a few bodyguards in the family. If this loser wanted to cause trouble, they would surely knock him down.“Well, everyone, keep quiet. Senior has something to announce!”At the top position, Senior Zimmer reached out his hand and knocked on the table. He anticipated and said, “You should all have heard about the news, right? Not sure why, but the president of York Enterprise has suddenly changed. The new president has terminated all the investments that have been negotiated bef

    Everyone looked over there. They then saw Don wearing a delicate suit with his hair nicely combed to the back. He looked handsome and smart. He was holding a gift box in his hand and walked in with a smile. “Let us welcome Mr. Xander with warm applause!” A young man shouted.All kinds of cheering were heard all of a sudden.It was obvious that a young talented man like Don was more recognized and welcomed by the Zimmer family compared to Harvey.Most importantly, he could help the Zimmer family!At this moment, the entire Zimmer family was looking at Don as if he was the God of Wealth!Don smiled and waved to the people around him. He looked like a star walking on the red carpet and also looked like a high-flyer.“Senior Zimmer, I’m sorry to bother you. I come here uninvited. However, I am a straight-up guy. So, I’ll speak up if I have something to say!”Don was smiling ambitiously. He said loudly, “I fell in love with Mandy at first sight, but unfortunately, she was married t

    Mandy who initially felt strange on the inside felt the warmth in her heart at this moment. An unexplained feeling surged in her heart.She already had a feeling that the roses were sent by Don yesterday. Since Don had admitted to it now, she was indeed right about it.She never thought that Don would do what he said. He had just talked about the Prague roses yesterday morning. Then, the roses were sent to her in the afternoon and with the Heart of Prague in it some more.This thing could not be found easily. Thus, he must have planned this for her a long time ago, right?Although Mandy knew that she could not agree to this marriage because she was a married woman, she was still very moved and shy.“Hey, did you guys see it? Harvey’s expression is so funny! He’s shocked! Hahaha!”Meanwhile, Zack stood up, pointed in the direction where Harvey was, and laughed.Many people saw Harvey’s expression and heckled him after hearing Zack’s words.Indeed, Harvey’s face was very dark at

    The entire Zimmer Villa was in silence at that moment. Almost everyone turned to look at Harvey in disbelief. That live-in son-in-law said everything in certainty. Could it be that he indeed knew who the new CEO who invested in York Enterprise was? Don did not even believe him. He smiled coldly and said, “Fine! Tell us! Who’s the new CEO in my enterprise?” Harvey stretched his hand out and pointed it at himself. He then said slowly, “The new CEO of York Enterprise is me.” Everyone was so shocked that they said nothing for a moment.But the next second...“You?” Don was stunned at first. He then held his belly and broke into a burst of laughter. Finally, he stopped laughing with much difficulty. He then looked at Senior Zimmer. “Senior Zimmer, I thought that your live-in son-in-law just likes to put on a show. But it surprised me to see him acting like a fool.” The moment he said that, Zack and the others broke into laughter too. They looked at Harvey just like they were l

Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t

How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone.

    Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some

    It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready.

    "No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig

    Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey

    "Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily.

    Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim

    Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
