“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. Being so focused, he didn't really care about the trivial things around him. He finally stops when Whitley and Valencia stand in front of Harvey with their arrogance.

The two women look down on Harvey and fold their arms across their chest. 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. Whitley and Valencia were going to show Harvey who was boss.

Valencia raised one eyebrow. “Did you do it to get back with Whitley?”

Whitley spat under her breath. She wanted to picture how humiliated she would be if what Valencia said actually happened. “I don't want to imagine it. It wouldn't happen even in a dream. Besides, I have a better man now. Andreas Brown is the perfect man for me.”

Valencia smiled lightly at Harvey. “Andreas Brown. Ah... there's no way you can beat him, Harvey. You don't stand a chance.”

Whitley smiled dismissively. “Huh? Even Andreas's big toe is worth more than this loser. Andreas is a really great guy. He has a big company, a prominent family, and a handsome face, too.”

Whitley glanced at Harvey. “Huh, look at you, Harvey. You have nothing to be proud of. With you out of my life, I've let the most shameful thing about me go. You are nothing more than a cockroach to me, Harvey! You deserve to be crushed in a trash can!”

Valencia snorted dismissively. “You didn't even contribute anything to Whitley's life. Know your place, you have no place in the heart or mind of a woman as beautiful and established as Whitley.”

Whitley shook her head. “Of course there won't be. In the three years I've been married to this man, all he's done is stay at home and do useless things. He's like a parasite living in my house. I've wanted to throw this parasite out of the house for so long!”

Unexpectedly, that was exactly what Whitley thought about Harvey all along. Harvey had thrown away his pride for 3 years and tried to be a different person just for Whitley. Harvey had tried to be a good person. He didn't even retaliate when he was treated as a slave by the Smith family members. Is this how Whitley responded? Treating Harvey as a parasite, when this woman probably didn't deserve anyone's pity.

Whitley chuckled again when she saw the door of the jewelry store. Her heartache had not gone away when she was forced out of the store because of Harvey. “For 3 years I endured the shame of having a completely useless husband. It's not fun having a trashy husband. Just when I was free of him and wanted to indulge myself in buying jewelry, I was humiliated by you again, Harvey.”

Whitley glared at Harvey. “Where do you think I got the ability to buy jewelry from, huh? I worked hard to bring the Smith family's, Demotion Company into the fold. I've made great progress over the years. It's also because of my partnership with Andreas that I have the money to buy jewelry. Think about it, Harvey, you can't even give me anything but trouble.”

Harvey remained calm despite the many insults that had come out of these two people's mouths for him. There was no reason to be upset. “Don't you know who helped you achieve everything? It was me.”

Whitley suddenly laughed at that. “You? What can you do? You've been lazing around at home and all you've done is cook food that doesn't taste good at all. For all you know, I've been throwing that food away! You only embarrass me when you show up at the office.”

It felt like something was stabbing Harvey in the heart when he heard that. Whitley's words reminded him of the time he was humiliated in front of the Smith family. However, Harvey suppressed it and remained calm. “If your grandfather were alive, he would have slapped you.”

With that little sentence, Whitley's face immediately turned red. “Stop talking about my grandfather! He caught a crazy disease in his head before he died! That’s why he asked me to marry a trash like you!”

Harvey did not expect Whitley to say such things about his grandfather. This woman really had a very shallow brain.

She angrily pointed at the jewelry store. “You'll see, I'll destroy this place someday! I'll level it to the ground. My man could do such a thing!”

Harvey gave a small smile. “You can't do that.”

Whitley glanced over with a frivolous smile. “Of course I can do it. Andreas has more wealth than you can imagine, Harvey. Getting this savage's shop destroyed is a piece of cake. Can you imagine if he destroyed you? You're even just like a pebble that was accidentally kicked by him.”

Valencia burst out laughing. Whitley's analogy was absolutely hilarious to her.

Harvey raised one eyebrow. It was very amused to hear Whitley glorify the man. “Don't you know what happened to Andreas Brown?”

Whitley snorted. She cocked her head proudly. To her, a man like Harvey would be destroyed in an instant. And Whitley couldn't wait for that.

Harvey calmly stepped up until they were close enough. Harvey looked at Whitley with calm eyes. “Andreas will go bankrupt and he'll go to jail.”

Whitley laughed. “Look how confident you were when you told that joke. The one going to jail is you, Harvey. Your demon hands have beaten him up and you'll rot in jail for it.”

Harvey gave Whitley a very cold stare. In fact, for some reason, Whitley felt that her gaze was so piercing that his chest felt tight. Slowly, Harvey turned around and walked away from the two women.

Whitley was transfixed there. It was a sensation she had never felt before when she talked to Harvey. That loser had previously looked so weak and deserving of torture, but that look just now felt so powerful that it made his breathing stop for a moment.

Whitley shook her head. “Damn, you're making this up!”

A moment later, a black BMW suddenly pulled up beside them. Whitley and Valencia were stunned at how nice the car looked.

Valencia gulped. “Whitley! Isn't that a BMW type-RK? That's the newest one! It was just released last month. The price can reach 2 million dollars. I heard that there are only two of those cars in the world.”

Whitley was wide-eyed. “Really? Who's the owner?”

Valencia shook her head. “I don't know. But that person must be very rich! If that person were my husband, then I would take him for a walk around the city. I'm sure everyone would envy me!”

Whitley and Valencia were transfixed waiting to see who got out of the car. It turned out to be a handsome man in a white shirt covered by a black tuxedo. Of course this set Whitley and Valencia's hearts racing.

However, the unexpected happened. The man approached and bowed before Harvey. “I have come to fetch you, Master Harvey. Please come in.”

The man opened the back door of the car and let Harvey in. As Harvey entered the car, his eyes glanced at Whitley and Harvey could see the frown on her forehead. Her mouth was unexpected until her chin dropped. Harvey knew when Whitley made that face, she was in shock.

The veins in Dom's hands tightened, his face flushed with anger and the pain he was enduring.Dom's breathing was ragged. Cold sweat began to bead on his temples, and his body temperature was rising. Although he continued to struggle, Alex's strength seemed endless.Finally, Dom gave up. His shoulders dropped, gasping for air. But his eyes were still wild, trying to find an opening.The car they were traveling in made no sound other than the roar of the engine.

    Harvey's gaze darted toward his men. Not a word was spoken, but their body language was clear enough. One by one, they exchanged glances—a silent understanding was formed. These men were not only cowards, they could also be an important source of information.Rein moved first. Calmly, he touched the shoulders of Carter and Rachel, the two children among the ten who could still think clearly. They turned their heads, their eyes seeking reassurance.Rein simply raised a finger to his lips. Silence.Carter and Rachel nodded slowly, hiding their nervousness behind forced calm.Meanwhile, Harvey gave a faint smile. He slowly withdrew his dominant aura, like a lion hiding its fangs. He knew: the man in front of him needed to feel confident, so his mouth would open more easily.He crossed his arms, his eyes seeming to appraise the man from the tips of his shoes to the pores of his face.“But... to avoid any mistakes, could you explain in more detail what kind of children you’re looking for?

    A soft rumbling sound filled the room as Harvey exhaled deeply. In an instant, the atmosphere around him changed—it became heavy and oppressive. The air seemed to vibrate.From the palms of his hands, ki energy flowed rapidly, so strong that the floor beneath him creaked slightly. The walls seemed to shiver, and everyone held their breath. For a moment, the world fell silent—as if time itself bowed to that power.Jordan stepped closer, his brow furrowed.“General...” his voice was almost broken. “You deliberately released that much energy, didn't you?”Harvey only nodded slowly. With great care, he touched his palm to Rachel's forehead.The child’s body reacted immediately. Beads of sweat appeared from her pores, dampening her pale face. Her breath came in short gasps, as if trying to keep up with the flow of foreign energy entering her body.Jordan was startled. Without hesitation, he knelt beside Rachel. The tip of his finger touched the child’s forehead, channeling a thread of ki e

    The five people—including Harvey—moved quickly. They checked each of the ten unconscious children one by one. Their fingers touched their necks and wrists, feeling for pulses. Some opened their eyelids to check for pupil response. Others examined their bodies, looking for signs of injury, bruising, or hidden symptoms of illness.Allison stopped beside a young boy. He lay there breathing heavily, his left leg wrapped in stiff bandages and tied to a dull wooden splint. She peeled back the makeshift bandage and frowned.“They even torture children like this...” she whispered softly, her voice almost a growl.Slowly, Allison placed her palm on the boy’s leg. Her eyes closed briefly, and she took a deep breath. A faint glow emanated from Allison’s hand—the ki energy she was carefully channeling.She knew her abilities weren't as strong as Harvey's, but for fractures like this, she could still handle it on her own. She wasn't reckless. If the injury affected vital organs, she wouldn't take

    As soon as Anderson's scream echoed, Harvey and Jordan reacted immediately. Without hesitation, they brutally struck the necks of the children who had been surrounding them. One by one, the small bodies collapsed, lying limp on the floor, unable to see what happened next.The screams were enough to tell them what had happened. Allison had clearly made her move.After making sure all the children were unconscious, Jordan let out a heavy sigh. His eyes glanced briefly in the direction of where Allison was, then shook his head slowly.“She should have paid attention to her surroundings,” he muttered. “There are too many children here...”When Harvey and Jordan looked at Anderson, they fell silent for a moment. The man lay on the floor with his face covered in blood, his jaw shattered—the result of Allison's brutal stomp. At first glance, the attack could have taken his life. But in fact, Allison had held back. She had only crippled Anderson... temporarily.Still, the trauma left behind w

    Zack grinned widely. The combat knife in his hand was raised, pointing directly at Harvey.“You're not going anywhere,” he said, his voice deep and threatening.Harvey glanced around the room. Four adults. The rest were children. Everyone was holding weapons—broken bottles, metal pipes, and dull kitchen knives. Makeshift weapons, but enough to injure, even kill.However, Harvey showed no sign of fear. He slowly slipped both hands into his pants pockets. The movement was simple, but in a situation like this, it felt like a slap in the face to his opponents—the attitude of someone who felt no threat at all.Some of them exchanged glances. Hesitant. Confused.Then, Harvey spoke. Calmly. Coldly. With confidence.“Put down your weapons, or this will end worse than you think.”Zack and his companions burst into crude laughter. Their voices echoed in the dingy room, blending with the damp, rusty smell filling the air.“Did you hear that?” Zack turned to his followers, pointing at Harvey and
