“What?! Dreaming?”Amora swayed in shock. Her face had completely lost color.She was a top student. Normally speaking, people with this kind of condition were a little abnormal.Before she could rise to power, she desperately needed Brayan’s support.If Brayan lost control at this moment, forget rising to greater heights. The relatives who were interested in her position would rip her to shreds. They’d make her suffer the consequences of Brayan’s disorder.She would lose everything, and maybe turn into a prisoner in the end.Upon reaching this realization, Amora trembled so much that she almost passed out. The higher-ups in the video call looked at each other. Having heard news of Brayan’s odd disorder unintentionally, ideas filled their heads.Bam!Amora quickly hung up. She could only see darkness. The higher-ups in the call came from different factions of the Foster family. This meant that Brayan’s disorder was out of the bag!No doubt, a storm was coming to the Foster
After a moment, priests in uniform entered. A few of them waved their crosses around. Some even brought a grail filled with holy water, for Brayan to drink.A faint light could be seen on his forehead after that. He quickly regained his consciousness.Even so, the usually high and mighty Brayan was drenched in cold sweat. His entire body was shivering. It was clear just how much fear and pain he was dealing with.Amora was suddenly reminded of Harvey’s words.“He wouldn’t be able to sleep at night after three days.“After five days, he’d start having hallucinations during the day.“A week later, his limbs will be limp, as if he’s paralyzed.“A few weeks later, he’ll finally die of exhaustion.”Amora thought Harvey was just acting like a clown and said all that nonsense after his lies were exposed… She didn’t think that everything he said would be true!To her, geomancy arts were just things to fool the public.Her father’s condition was probably just a coincidence.However,
Charlize was disgusted.She was Amora’s best secretary, and a prideful woman to boot. In the business world, many heads of first and second-rated families would have to show her respect. This was her first time having to contact someone who fell out of power, yet she was promptly declined.‘Does Mandy think she’s a direct descendant of the Jean family?‘We gave her a chance to invite a con man, but she declined!‘Because of that, I had to come all the way here to such a rundown alleyway!‘This is just embarrassing!’Charlize became more enraged as she thought about it.She ignored Prince, and strutted into Fortune Hall with her guards in tow.Shay, who was cleaning the place when she saw them walk in, didn’t try to stop them. She also politely brought some tea for them. However, she used cheap tea leaves for the masses to maximize Fortune Hall’s profits. Charlize, who was used to eating lavishly, grew even more disdainful. She didn’t even bat an eye at Shay. She waved her
Charlize was infuriated to hear those words.‘I gave him a chance, but he doesn’t know how to cherish it!’She glared at Harvey, her face gloomy. “Enough pretending, Harvey!“Don’t you know that you’re blessed to have this kind of opportunity?!“If you miss it, you won’t get it again even after ten different lifetimes!“Do you know who Mr. Brayan is?! He’s the head of the Foster family—one of the top ten families!“He has influence all over the country! Maybe even the entire world!“It’s your honor to help him! Don’t you know that?“As long as you have a bit of use to him, your name will skyrocket! You’ll earn everyone’s acknowledgement and gain hefty resources!“Aside from that, you’ll get a reward worth eight figures!“Do you know how much money that is? Fifteen million dollars!”Charlize became more and more arrogant the more she spoke.“People shouldn’t protect their useless pride and dignity, and throw away their opportunity and money!“You should know better! Peopl
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Charlize took out her checkbook and wrote down a few numbers. Then, she slapped a check on the table.“Keep pretending! All you want is just some money! You act as if you’re some sort of saint!”Charlize laughed coldly.“Look here! 1.5 million! I don’t care if the tea set is real or not! I paid for it anyway!“Can we go now? Hurry it up! Don’t waste my time!“Don’t you know that every minute of my time is worth thousands of dollars?”As Amora’s best assistant, Charlize looked down on show-offs who thought of themselves highly the most.‘These people don’t know just what kind of disaster they’ll bring to themselves for showing off to the Foster family…‘Don’t they understand that making Mr. Brayan owe them would give them a chance to make their own wealthy family?‘No wonder they can only resort to being con men for the rest of their lives…’Charlize was filled with disdain toward Harvey and the others. Shay ran to Prince and the others, and sipped h
The men looked at each other for a moment. Then, a Westerner leading the group walked forward, prepared to slap Prince to the ground.Bam!Prince smacked the man down with his crutch without holding back. He then swung the crutch down again.Crack!A bone was snapped immediately.Since Harvey gave the order to break some legs, Prince naturally wouldn’t hold back.“Get him!”The remaining guards froze for a moment, then rushed with their fists.Even with his legs covered in plaster, Prince was still Quill’s son; why would he be afraid of a bunch of bodyguards in the first place?In under a minute, the men were all beaten down. They lay on the floor with their legs broken, wailing in pain.The last one standing frantically rushed backward; his entire body was shivering in fear even as he stood in front of Charlize.“You…”Charlize was bewildered.‘Even a cripple is this impressive?‘What a joke!‘He took down a dozen of my men with his crutch?‘Nobody would even believe m
Calling the cops was destined to be useless. The Foster family was the one who caused trouble in the first place, and yet, they were the ones demanding justice.When Soren got the call, he quickly hung up after haphazardly skimming past the subject.Charlize was so angry, she was on the verge of coughing up blood.She had no choice but to return to the Ostrane Five, shivering in fear. She kneeled with a horrible expression as she explained everything in detail to Amora.“That bastard doesn’t respect the family at all, milady!“Not only did he decline our kindness, but he even got his people to smash our cars and break our men’s legs!“He even told us that he’ll make us suffer if we don’t get out of the city in three days!”Naturally, Charlize wouldn’t expose herself for acting high and mighty. Instead, she put all the blame on Harvey.She believed Amora would take out Harvey in a fit of rage to quell her anger as well.Charlize was just a subordinate, but she wouldn’t allow he
Charlize was overjoyed; she believed she could regain her pride back through this. A man in his nightgown walked down the spiral staircase just as she was about to make the call. There were a few subordinates following him, but he was stubborn enough to walk on his own instead of relying on others.He was none other than the high and mighty head of the Foster family, Brayan.A man from the top-rated circle of the entire country would naturally have his own pride and dignity.“Father!” Amora rushed forward, and took his hand.Charlize and the others kneeled; they were shivering in fear, too afraid to make a single sound.Brayan sat casually in his chair, and took a sip of his black tea before finally speaking up.“It’d be embarrassing if we called the royal court for such a trivial matter.”Naturally, Brayan managed to keep himself under control with Mr. Davis’s help. He was holding a cross in his hand. For the time being, his expression was back to normal.“Father, I’m planni
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
