"He took the crown with his own hands!


    "He''s a hero!"


    ine John showed peerless admiration.


    "I wonder which one out of the three you know, Master York?"


    Aunt Witby and Elodie Jean disdainfully red at Harvey York with their arms crossed.


    ''That''s right! You must''ve never heard of those people before, have you?''


    Lilian Yates, Mandy Zimmer, and Simon Zimmer looked at each other with odd expressions. They wanted to say


    something, but they simply could not...


    If they remembered correctly...


    Prince York...


    ine showed a faint smile when they looked at Harvey.


    "I wonder if you have opinions about the people I''m talking about.


    "Right. Two out of these three have the same surname as you.


    "I wonder why there''s this much of a gap between you and them..."


    ine picked a ss on the table.


    In his eyes, Harvey had no right to be on the same level as him.


    "What a conversation, Young Master John! I''ve learned a lot! Harvey smiled.


    "But I''m curious. What''s the point of you talking about all this?"


    "Don''t you get it, Harvey?


    Elodie''s face turned dark.


    "He''s telling you that only people like them have the right to challenge him!


    "You''re just a con man!


    "You''re unworthy!"


    Harvey looked at ine.

    "Is that so?"


    "That''s right," replied ine.


    He could not even be bothered to look at Harvey anymore.


    "You''re thoughtful. You have charm. You''re proud, but you''re just that.


    Harvey calmly stood up. daotrante


    "Compared to those people, you''re unworthy!


    "Even less so if youpare yourself to me!"


    Harvey dragged Mandy out of the ce while she was still inplete shock.


    Everyone froze. They never expected Harvey even to say such a thing at that moment.


    Nobody thought that he would drag Mandy away just like that.


    The crowd became sluggish.


    Typically speaking, Harvey should have been stumbling out of the ce in fear.


    And yet he pulled Mandy out after outrightly insulting ine!


    Harvey was tantly disrespecting him!


    Lilian and Simon''s eyes twitched.


    Aunt Witby quickly approached ine.


    "The man''s just an ignorant fool, Young Master John! He doesn''t know just how great the people you talk about


    are...


    "People withmon sense would''ve kneeled at this point!"


    Crack!


    ine crushed the ss with his bare hand.


    Then, he squinted at Harvey and Mandy with profound looks.


    Not only did he feel disrespected at the sight, he believed his pride waspletely crushed!

    Outside the building, on the side of the river.


    Harvey and Mandy were strolling without saying a word.


    "You really offended both the John family and the Jean family this time, you know..."


    Mandy was holding Harvey''s hand with a worried expression.


    "The marriage between both families is an exchange of interests for the top ten families.


    "ine has his own goals, but preventing the marriage will have disastrous consequences...


    "He''ll use all his power against you soon enough."


    "I know," Harvey replied, looking at Mandy''s anxious look.
