Sarah opened the door. “Please come in, Mr. Harvey.”

After Harvey entered, Sarah immediately closed the door. In front of her was a man who had been looking down. He was the person in charge of accompanying the VIP.

Harvey took out his card and used it on a machine beside the steel door. Realizing that Harvey had opened the door, the man hurriedly approached him. Then after seeing the card Harvey was holding, he realized that Harvey was someone he should respect more. He would instantly lose his job if he ignored him even a little.

The man gulped. “My apologies, sir. I'm late to welcome you.”

Harvey looked at him casually. He didn't really mind that much. The man then opened the steel door. “Please follow me, sir.”

The man walked ahead of Harvey into the room. It turned out that the room had an elevator that led to an underground room. The man pointed to the elevator to let Harvey in. The elevator took them to a secret vault that only this elite jewelry store had.

Harvey walked behind the man through the steel doors beside the corridor. Those doors were the rooms where ordinary VIP customers were kept. And among all the doors, there was a large black door, looking the strongest among the other storage doors.

The man stopped in front of the door. Then he stood beside it while facing Harvey. “Please, sir. Until now, no one has touched your safe.”

Harvey took a step forward while looking at the top of the large door. He smiled a little. “If anyone can touch it, then the security here is pretty lousy.”

Sweat began to break out on the guard's temples. He quickly lowered his gaze. What Harvey said seemed like something frightening to him.

Harvey pressed his palm against the scan screen in front of the door. A lock sounded open from inside the door. Then Harvey also entered a numeric password. From the center of the door, a silver circle appeared. Harvey then pressed his palm against the circle and closed his eyes.

The guard took a few steps back. His heart was racing. In his mind, he was seriously watching what Harvey was doing without blinking. “What a great pressure.”

Harvey's mouth whispered a few words. One thing that Harvey had not shown to others while he was Whitley's husband was that Harvey possessed an unusual martial arts technique. He could use the inner power of his body. By attaching his hand to the silver circle. With such an intricate mechanism, this safe was indeed tailor-made for Harvey alone.

The sound of gears could be heard clearly as the large door slid open. Harvey then entered. Inside was a large room that felt empty. The entire room was white, with only a table in the center of the room. On top of the table, there was a glowing black box.

Harvey walked over and opened the box. Inside, there was a necklace in the shape of a phoenix. Harvey touched and stroked the object several times. “It's been so long...”

Harvey took the object and put it on. He closed his eyes, then as he looked up he took a deep breath, then let it out. He felt something new.

Harvey turned around and walked out of the room. Automatically, the door of the safe closed again.

The man from before came up to Harvey. “Have you taken what you need, sir.”

Harvey showed the necklace he was wearing. “Don't let anyone enter this safe!”

The man nodded. Somehow the atmosphere became more tense. The man had to swallow his saliva. In his mind, he wondered about all this. “Who is this person? I'm meeting him for the first time, but his aura is so strong. He's definitely not an ordinary person.”

There were only a few who had VIP storage access, but this was the first time he had seen one locked in such a way. He was sure that this guest must be more than he imagined. He even subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat and got goosebumps.

The two of them then walked out of the storage area. Harvey stepped slightly ahead of the man. After they arrived at the previous place, it turned out that Whitley was still there. He proudly stood at a slight angle and also folded his arms in front of his chest.

“Oh, did you finally get kicked out of this place, Harvey?” Whitley said in a very annoying tone. “I already knew that someone like you would want to commit a crime. You were caught trying to steal, weren't you?”

Harvey didn't pay much attention to her. He was too lazy to bother with a big mouth like this woman. However, just as Harvey was about to leave, Whitley and Valencia got in front of him.

Whitley snorted dismissively. “I think you need to be searched before you leave this place.”

Whitley glanced at the name tag of the man behind Harvey. “Jason, check Harvey's entire body.”

Harvey paused to exhale. “You don't know about me.”

Whitley chuckled. “I know very well who you are. You're a poor, lowly man. One who would commit a crime given the chance. If you've come here, I'm sure that there must be something in your pockets. You need to be searched and reported to the police!”

Jason opened his eyes wide. Harvey was a top VIP owner, of course Jason did not allow this ambience become worse. “Be careful what you say, Miss. Mr. Harvey did not do what you are accusing him of. Whoever you are, you are out of line!”

Jason furrowed his brows. His heart was racing. He must not make Harvey feel offended by this woman.

Hearing that, Whitley was shocked. She immediately pointed at Harvey's face. “I know this person very well. He is the one who will harm you.”

Jason shook his head while glaring. “Stop it, Miss. You're so annoying!”

Whitley frowned. She wondered why this waitress seemed to be desperately defending Harvey?

Harvey grabbed Jason's shoulders. “Oh yes, I have a request. Don't let these two women to stay in here.”

Harvey's eyes fell on Whitley. Whitley suddenly opened her eyes wide. Especially when she saw Jason respond to Harvey with a nod. “Alright. Security, evict them!”

This elite jewelry store was a very prestigious store in the city. People who wore jewelry from this store would be the talk of their social groups. If Whitley lost access to come here, then she would also lose her social status in the eyes of her friends.

Whitley with a flushed face pointed back at Harvey. “Why are you even following his orders? Did he buy anything here?”

Jason firmly replied, “Mr. Harvey didn't buy. He just picked something up.”

Whitley chuckled. “He didn't buy anything? How can you obey someone like this? Look, I buy a lot of stuff here. You can't kick me out, Harvey should be the one you kick out!”

Jason shook his head. “What Mr. Harvey did is worth more than the things you bought. Hand back the things you brought and get out of here!”

Whitley was stunned. She couldn't believe that Jason would say that so bluntly. A moment later, two security guards arrived and held Whitley and Valencia's hands. Jason took back the toot bag of jewelry Whitley had just bought.

Both of them were forcibly dragged by the security and released when they were outside the store. Both of their faces became very red, especially since there were many people watching.

Whitley clenched her fists. “You bastard! Why did he kick me out like this?”

Valencia wrinkled her forehead as she looked inside the shop. Her heart was racing after that incident. “Whitley, isn't your ex-husband a rich man? He can order the people in this shop around at will.”

Whitley clucked her mouth. “Harvey? Rich? You are kidding! He's just a loser.”

    “There's the loser!” Valencia pointed at Harvey who had just come out of the store.Harvey came out holding his cell phone to his ear. He walked slowly and calmly.

Harvey hangs up the phone.Whitley clucked. “What cheap tricks do you use to fool the people at the store? You're always up to something annoying.”Being forcibly evicted by the most elite jewelry store had certainly hurt Whitley's pride as well as Valencia's. What would the world say if everyone knew that they were expelled from here? Of course they would lose face. Therefore, they deliberately wait for Harvey outside to restore their pride and prove that Harvey can't do things as he pleases.

    “What the hell is he? So annoying!” Whitley snorted while averting her gaze.Valencia herself was still stunned by the incident. Her head was having a hard time processing what she had just seen. In her mind, she kept wondering. “Harvey? Harvey Wilder? He drove that expensive and rare car?”Until the car pulled away, Valencia's eyes were still glued to the BMW. She swallowed. “Whitley, you saw that, right? Harvey is riding in that car.”Whitley immediately glanced sarcastically at the woman next to him. “Valencia, he's a poor man! He's also very useless and annoying. Don't ever mention that name in front of me again. Remember, he got us kicked out of this jewelry store.”Valencia immediately realized that. The look on her face instantly changed. “I almost forgot about him. He's a bastard!”Whitley sighed. “Ah, never mind! Thinking about that guy makes me want to throw up. There's no point in thinking about that bastard.”Valencia let out a long breath. Today's plan to go shopping was

    “Help! Help!” A man shouted loudly while holding his friend's hand. It was Jordan who held Harvey's hand.He brought Harvey to the Emergency Unit of the hospital they had built. It was still untidy, so there were not only doctors and nurses, but also some other workers. Who were preparing things.Suddenly, the people there were surprised by the arrival of the two people. Moreover, the blood from Harvey's hand continued to drip on the floor.Jordan shouted again, making a scene. “Help! My friend is hurt! The blood won't stop. Is there a doctor here?”Seeing an injured and pale-faced person, several nurses and doctors approached Jordan and Harvey. One of the doctors looked on in panic. “What's going on? Why is someone injured?”Jordan held the doctor's hand. “You're a doctor, right? Hurry up and help my friend. He's hurt badly!”Jordan was pleading and panicking. Even his hands were shaking and he was breaking out in cold sweat. His demeanor was as convincing as one who had lost hope.T

    Doctor Aurelia glared. For a moment her eyes were glued to Harvey. However, a moment later she began to frown and her lips pulled back.She began to laugh amusedly after hearing what Harvey had just said. “Your joke is hilarious. What kind of person cuts his own hand like that? That wound is so deep, you could even lose your hand forever.”Although Doctor Aurelia laughed like that, Harvey did not laugh along with her. He just watched Doctor Aurelia without saying a single word. Until finally Doctor Aurelia turned to him. The laughter on the young doctor's lips began to fade.Harvey looked directly into Doctor Aurelia's eyes calmly. It was as if he was waiting to be heard. “I'm not joking.”Suddenly Doctor Aurelia furrowed her brows. She glared in disbelief at what she had just heard. “Are you out of your mind? You could be disabled for life! You should take care of your body, not destroy it like this. What you're doing could be killing yourself.”Harvey remained calm even though he wa

    “I didn't expect to be tested in this way.” Doctor Aurelia kept her surprise. In her heart, she was a little worried about this. “Thank you for testing me, General--”Harvey shook his head while frowning. “Call me Mr. Harvey, do not call me General.”Doctor Aurelia was silent for a moment. Calling a person of high rank by name directly felt awkward to Doctor Aurelia. Moreover, this man was the one who had led her when she was on the battlefield.Doctor Aurelia did know that Harvey had retired, but it felt rude to do so. Doctor Aurelia only smiled hesitantly at this moment.Harvey, who caught the hesitation, raised his head slightly. “Mr. Harvey, you can call me that. This is not on the battlefield.”Doctor Aurelia nodded. “Very well, Mr. Harvey.”Doctor Aurelia felt a great deal of awkwardness, but Harvey only gave a small nod. So Doctor Aurelia thought that this was the right thing to do.Doctor Aurelia exhaled. “Mr. Harvey, if you wanted to test me, why did you do such a dangerous t

    “Damn it!” Jay glared at Jordan. He became annoyed that Jordan didn't answer his question.In a moment Jay could instantly feel the immense pressure from Jordan. His eyes didn't even radiate fear at all. Jay was sure that this person was not just anyone who came here.Irritated, Jay pulled his hand away, but Jordan didn't let go of his grip. In fact, the more Jay tried the tighter Jordan held him.Jay clenched his teeth, not liking Jordan's actions. “Oh, it turns out that this hospital has the nerve to act. Deliberately hiring thugs like this to obstruct us, huh? You'd better stay out of it if you still care about your fate, you village thug!”Jordan narrowed his eyes. He was seriously watching Jay's gestures. From the movement of his eyes, mouth, and behavior, he seemed to have a protector who he considered a strong man.Not long after, Doctor Aurelia arrived and she firmly stepped closer. Her gaze was sharp at Jay who had an unpleasant look on his face. “Why are you here again? I t

    “What a jerk. He is a pain in the ass.” Doctor Aurelia exhaled. Her eyes closed tightly as she looked down.The words spoken by Jay earlier were really weighing on her mind. Several times Doctor Aurelia exhaled, but it didn't calm the pounding of her heart.It wasn't just once that Jay had come here. This time he came alone, but before that he came with some gang members. They harassed the workers of this hospital, causing construction to come to a halt for some time.This time, Jay was really humiliated. Doctor Aurelia was worried about what that person would do next. Thinking about this made Doctor Aurelia a little dizzy. With a worried look she turned her head towards the hospital at the back. Even though the building wasn't completely finished, Doctor Aurelia felt responsible for the existence of this hospital.Doctor Aurelia shook her head softly. “I messed it up. The Longwood family won't like this news.”Harvey turned to the woman. He could see how she was distressed by Jay who

    “How did it get like this?” Whitley muttered it several times.The thin nails on his fingers pinched her lips incessantly. Occasionally she would bite them. Slowly but surely, Whitley walked to the right, then to the left again, and to the right again. She did so with furrowed brows.The scream from Andreas on the phone was still ringing in her head. It penetrated and seemed to squeeze her head. Moreover, Whitley had heard the news that Andreas had actually been arrested by the police.Whitley did not want to believe that fact. Because in the city of Duskvale, even a god should not be able to touch their slippery skin. The police who were supposed to be on the Brown family's side should not have done that.Whitley bit her fingernails again. “How is this?”Like a breath of air, this worry slipped into Whitley's chest until her breathing became heavier. Andreas' father, Johan, had told Whitley not to worry as he would take care of Andreas. However, the unceasing doubt stabbed at Whitley

    The city sky of Duskvale glowed in the dim light, leaving only the silhouettes of buildings looming in the distance. From the window, Harvey stood still, his hands clasped together, his eyes gazing far into the horizon. His breathing is quiet, almost inaudible.When the door to the room opened, the sound of footsteps echoed on the shiny wooden floor. Jordan entered without hesitation, his body erect, his gaze sharp. Harvey turned his head slowly, the faint smile on his face vanishing as soon as he saw who was coming.There are no words. Only silence hangs between them like a reluctant night fog. Jordan stops right in front of Harvey, his back straight, his demeanor disciplined. His voice was calm, but there was firmness in it. "Mr. Harvey, they have carried out your orders."Harvey's eyes flashed faintly, but his expression remained unreadable."Stan has been taken to the military base," Jordan continued. "Starting today, he will be conscripted."For a moment, silence reigned in the r

    The sound of breaking glass echoed loudly in Stan's study, followed by a string of curses that broke the silence of the night. His harsh words echoed like thunder, filling every corner of the now cluttered room.The servants standing guard outside could only look down, their hands shaking. They had witnessed their master's anger many times, but never with such fury. Not a single one dared to approach, let alone go inside."Bastard!"Stan swung his arm brutally, throwing a large vase of flowers at the door. It hit the hardwood before shattering into pieces on the floor, water and flower petals splattering, creating a mess that mirrored his thoughts.His breathing was heavy, his chest rising and falling wildly. His eyes were red, full of unstoppable rage.The items in the room had been repeatedly smashed, but his anger remained smoldering, boiling inside him like an unquenchable fire.He clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

    Stan felt the heat radiate to his ears. His jaw hardened, his teeth grinding together until there was a faint sound of enamel scraping. His eyes widened, staring at Harvey as if he wanted to swallow him alive."Damn it! This guy is getting sassy!" he thought, hands clenched at his sides. His breathing began to get heavy, his chest rising and falling as a wave of anger boiled inside him. "I'm already groveling, and he's acting like he has all the power here?"Stan remained bent over, his body rigid as if there were invisible ropes holding him in that position. His jaw clenched tightly, and for a moment, his breath caught like a stone in his chest.He glanced to the side, looking for some support from Hillary and Gwen. Instead, both women looked at him with furrowed brows, their gazes demanding. Secretly, they were giving Stan the code to find a way out of this situation immediately."Shit! They want me to solve this problem myself?" Stan's eyes twitched. His throat felt dry. He knew fu

    "We..." Hillary opened her mouth, but her voice caught in her throat. Her throat felt dry, as if the air around her had turned to dust that clogged her breath. She glanced at Stan and Gwen, hoping for support, but they looked away. Their gazes were blank, their faces slightly pale, as if they had just realized the fatal mistake they had made.In front of them, Erik Reinhart stood tall. His eyes were sharp, almost piercing, as if to expose their lies and arrogance. The silence that hung in the air was oppressive, making every second seem so long.Hillary wrung her fingers, trying to quell the anxiety that was starting to creep in. She knew that one wrong word could backfire. Erik Reinhart was not a random person. If he wanted, he could make Julius Claymore literally throw them out of this party. One more mistake, and they would be the talk of all Duskvale-not as the elite, but as an embarrassing joke. For the first time that night, Hillary realized that they had lost control of the sit

    Stan, Hillary and Gwen were frozen in place. Their minds were spinning, trying to make sense of the reality that had just hit them mercilessly. Harvey. The man they'd been insulting and belittling. Not a beggar, not a loser, but someone who was able to donate 200 million dollars with a single touch on his phone screen.Gwen bit her lip, as if hoping this was all a misunderstanding. Hillary swallowed, her throat suddenly dry. Meanwhile, Stan, who was usually full of confidence, could only grin stiffly. Their foreheads furrowed, looking for a way out of this situation.Finally, Stan laughed softly-a forced laugh, more like a face-saving attempt. He glanced at Erik with hopeful eyes. “Forgive us, Mr. Erik,” he said, his voice softer than before. “We didn't really mean those things.”Hillary tried to smile, but her facial muscles tightened, making her expression look more like a stiff grin than a genuine smile. Her eyes glanced at Erik carefully, gauging his reaction. “Really, Mr. Erik Re

    The three froze in place, glancing at each other with expressions that were difficult to translate. Hillary bit her lip, as if to argue, but the words stuck in her throat. Stan growled softly, his chin raised a little higher, as if refusing to be humiliated. While Gwen, who was usually calmer, finally clicked her tongue.She let out a long breath, then crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her eyes flashed sarcastically as she looked at Erik. “We simply can't donate as much as 200 million dollars,” she said, her voice laden with skepticism. “But does Mr. Erik really believe that this veteran can keep his promise?”Erik responded calmly. He gave Harvey a quick glance, then flashed a faint smile-not a mocking smile, but the expression of someone who knew more than others.He knew Harvey. Not just as a soldier, but as someone who held a high position on the battlefield. However, even with all his knowledge, Erik still did not realize that the man before him was a God of War.More than

    Stan smirked, his lips pulled to the side in an obvious look of disdain. His eyes narrowed, as if he was assessing Harvey like a poor man who had just dug his own grave."Mr. veteran," his voice was low, but full of piercing sarcasm. "Do you realize what you just did?"He raised his hand, his index finger hovering in the air before pointing at the crowd of guests who were still staring at them with various expressions-some dumbfounded, some stifling laughter, and some whispering softly, talking about Harvey like it was a joke too daring to believe."Look at them." Stan waved his arms in a theatrical gesture. "All eyes are on you now. You're deliberately embarrassing yourself just to get attention."Small chuckles could be heard from several corners of the room, although some of the guests were still too shocked to really react. Amidst it all, Harvey remained silent. His gaze was unmoving, cold as the surface of water untouched by the wind.Stan didn't stop there. He rested one hand on

    It was as if fine needles were piercing Stan's head. Harvey's words were like thorns creeping into his head, igniting embers that instantly burned his emotions.His blood rushed up, warming his face to a boiling point. His jaw clenched tightly, while his eyes widened, full of disbelief mixed with anger. His brows were furrowed sharply, forming lines of tension on his forehead.With a rough movement, she turned her body to face Harvey. Chest rising and falling, his breathing sounded heavier. Stan's head snapped up, his gaze pressing, as if he was about to crush his interlocutor with just a glance. "Oh, your mouth really has no manners, huh." His voice was low, almost trembling, yet full of veiled threats.Hillary and Gwen simultaneously turned to face Harvey. Both of their hands were folded in front of their chests, fingers hardened against their arms, as if they were holding back an explosion of anger that was ready to burst out at any moment. Their faces were flushed, not from embarr

    Erik stood at Julius Claymore's side, his eyes fixed on Harvey's figure. Unlike his two colleagues, Julius' expression was serious. A fine frown appeared on his forehead, indicating displeasure or perhaps surprise at this unexpected situation. Across from them, Harvey looked at Erik with an equally calm gaze. No tension could be seen from him, as if Erik's presence was just a meaningless coincidence. However, in his heart, Erik felt something else. He knew this man. Not as a beggar or an ordinary veteran, but as someone who had led a war. Erik gulped, he thought to himself, "Mr. Harvey?" Erik's mind was spinning fast. "Why is he in Duskvale? Why is he attending this party?" Harvey raised one finger in front of his lips, a subtle gesture that only Erik could catch. A wordless warning. Erik stiffened for a moment, his eyes still locked on Harvey. There was no mistaking it-he recognized the man. Although not part of the military directly, Erik Reinhart had made great contributions
