Before Harvey could even reach the door, Elric suddenly bellowed. There was both arrogance and calmness in his laughter. Those who did not know him might even think he had finally lost it."Interesting… This is so interesting! You know how the saying goes: out with the old and in with the new. I've always thought it's just an expression, but I never thought some people genuinely believe in that. Not only are you arrogant, you're completely out of depth."Harvey, do you know what it means when I've been the director of Country H Commercial Group for decades? It means that all the scions of the ten top families and the five hidden families will all show respect to me. They wouldn't even dare lift a finger at me, even when I teach them a lesson or two."Even Emery, the so-called number one scion in Wolsing, had to show his respect whenever he visited me at home. I've never met someone like you who showed me no respect and even completely threw my dignity out of the window. Harvey… Shou

After Harvey slapped Elric, he turned around and just left as everyone else could only watch in shock. He did not say or do anything else after that.Meanwhile, Elric held the right side of his face in disbelief. The expression on his face changed from shock and anger to viciousness. And then, he bellowed as he looked into the sky.It was as if a shade of madness had stained him.-Harvey's expression was filled with deliberation after leaving the alley leading to Elric's office. He had gained some understanding of Country H Commercial Group during this time. After George had arrived, he had already helped Harvey with his investigations.For example, while Country H Commercial Group looked like a group that was not that tight, the commercial group held many shares of important corporations within the country. Country H Commercial Group held many of these shares as a proxy for the corporations from either County A or the Island Nation.Which meant while some corporations looked li

Harvey felt like he was looking at concubines from a bygone era as he looked at the women, old-fashioned and drowned in decadence. He instinctively felt disgusted."Were you looking for me, stepmother?"It seemed like Journi did not like what she was looking at as well, but she still started the conversation with a blank expression.It was obvious that the woman who won the card game was Elric's current wife, Pamela Thompson. She was barely a few years older than Journi."Stepmother?" Pamela glanced coldly at Journi. "I told you many times. You can either call me mom or mother. You keep on calling me stepmother… Will you only be satisfied by reminding me that I'm your father's subsequent wife? Or maybe you think I can't deal with you after you mocked me like that?"Pamela was sneering at this time, and she seemed surrounded by an air of arrogance that Harvey could not really put his finger on. However, Harvey could already tell from Pamela's last name that she was most likely some

"You…!" When Pamela heard what Journi proclaimed, she stood up out of sheer anger and pointed her finger at Journi. She wanted to say something but realized that nothing she said would carry any meaning at this time. Journi was willing to sacrifice her life; what else could Pamela say to threaten her?When the thought crossed Pamela's mind, she turned her attention to Harvey. Obviously, there was nothing she could do to Journi. Then, she had to switch her target. Her expression darkened as she narrowed her cold eyes at Harvey. "I don't care who you are or where you're from, boy."I'm going to make this simple. If you still value your life, you should leave, immediately. You don't know what lies under the murky depths of our family, but you should have heard about the Wright family. They're one of the top ten families in Country H. A marriage between our two families has already been determined. It doesn't matter who you are, interfere with this, and you'll only end up dead!"There w

There were mixed feelings in Journi's eyes as she felt the emotion within Harvey's words.Journi grew up in a single-parent household since she was little, and her father was the kind of person who would just sell her for profit. Despite being called a princess, she was just a young woman who had lived with a different burden that was no less heavy.She had never had a source of safety since she was young. She did not expect that she would get it from Harvey. Not to mention, Journi could sense that he was different from the other men who simply wanted her.Harvey's protectiveness of her did not involve any kind of perversion.It was so rare."Enough, boy. You really think you're someone important, now?" Pamela suddenly stood up with her arms folded in front of her chest, her eyes filled with viciousness. She looked at Harvey as if she could kill him for a long while before she snorted and said, "Journi, are you going to get rid of this man yourself? Or will you wait until securi
