Miley Surrey instinctively shivered after hearing Stefan Augustus’ words.She realized all the upperclassmen had profound meaning in their words.She thought Stefan was being too reckless previously, but she had not expected that he was only faking a persona.It was a shame that Harvey York was no ordinary person either.“If that’s the case, how should we proceed?Miley gazed sternly.“Are we just going to watch as the three beads are sent to the Aenar Temple?“It’d be no different than us accepting nukes.”Miley’s head started to spin.She would naturally be willing to accept the beads before. After all, this was her true goal for trying to take over the Surrey family in the first place.But times had changed. With Conrad Surrey making such a strong comeback using his identity as an American…The beads were definitely no good to have.At least, all sorts of influential figures had come just for the Nine-Eyed Beads.Whoever obtained half of those beads first would be invit

Harvey York chuckled.“You don’t need me to teach you that, right?“Mr. Lennon’s been in the outskirts for so many years. I’m sure he has a plan of his own…”Aria and Ernie Surrey looked at each other before asking to leave, saying that they needed to send word to Lennon Surrey immediately.That said, they left behind two gift boxes before leaving.Harvey did not ask the two to stay either. Since the outskirts were about to be in deep trouble, he also considered going to the Surrey family to “protect” the beads.After all, he was not going to let Stefan Augustus do as he pleased.Voom!His phone suddenly rang while he was in deep thought.He thought Aria Surrey called because she misplaced something here, but it was actually Harlan Higgs on the line.Harlan had been busy with his business. He only found out that Harvey moved out of his villa that day.Since Billie Higgs and Whitley Cobb kept quiet about what happened in Mandrake Residence, Harvey was still the kid who came t

Billie Higgs instinctively opened her box before seeing another broken dark blue bead.It looked identical to the one Judith Pedler had. Both of them were old and worn out.Before Billie even said anything, Aliza Howell had spoken again.“Throw that trash out of here, Billie!“How dare he use something like this to provoke you?“He’s heinous!“Not only is he trying to hook up with you, he’s also making advances with Judith!“He’s insane!”Everyone started glaring disdainfully at Harvey.“Get this man out of here, Ms. Billie!” said a few of Billie and Judith’s pursuers.“That’s right! This is a gathering of upperclassmen! This guy’s lowering everyone’s standards here! It’s humiliating!”“I like whatever Harvey gives me anyway,” Judith replied.Billie quickly mediated the situation with an awkward smile.“It’s just a small gathering, everyone. There’s no need to prepare anything in the first place.”“I know that you have an arranged marriage with this guy, but you can’t jus

At this point, the beads simply had to be appraised.Whitley Cobb also wanted to ascertain Harvey York’s wealth and identity. She led Harvey and the others to the study on the second floor with a smile.Harlan Higgs paused after seeing Harvey and the others inside.“You’re here, Harvey!” he exclaimed.“I was just about to come look for you!“This is Ms. Zimmer. She’s an antique dealer from Mordu.“We’ve been dealing quite a lot for the past few days.“You two are from big cities! You both should get to know each other!”Harvey instinctively looked over before he froze.‘Mandy…?’He had been in the outskirts for quite some time. He even had gotten Dutch to send many of his men to search for Mandy’s whereabouts.And yet he bumped into her here, of all places.Clearly, Mandy was also frozen in place. She could not process her thoughts when she saw Harvey.Before Mandy could even speak, Harlan smiled when he stepped forward.“Let me introduce you, Ms. Zimmer.“This is Harvey

Nobody could sense the growing tension between Mandy Zimmer and Harvey York. They were all excitedly looking at Rhodes Wright.“Since you’re here, do you mind appraising the beads?“There’s a huge chance that they’re from a roadside stall. It’d probably taint your eyes, but we should take the opportunity to reveal that man’s true colors.“You’d be able to figure this out quickly, right?”Rhodes smiled at Mandy before looking around him.“I’m a part of the team that Ms. Zimmer hired.“Since she asked me to, there’s no reason for me to refuse.”Rhodes picked up the beads on the table before taking a closer look.Then, he took a deep breath before finally speaking.“These two beads are at least a thousand years old.“These are called Millenium Beads. They’re beads of the legendary Medicine Avatar.“The beads have been used as medicine since ancient times. Wearing the beads long-term would remove sickness from one’s body and promote sleep.”Everyone froze. Mandy looked deep int
