Harvey York's Rise to Power

“He probably knows.”

Aria Surrey thought about the situation for an instant.

"Then again, Stefan has always been scared of Amos. After all, Amos excels both in knowledge and combat

strength. Stefan never had a chance to fight against him.

"But with the newfound strength, not only would Vaati worsen his relationship with his son if he intentionally

talked him down, Stefan would probably beccpu completely useless after.

"Besides, the outskirts is in a dire situation right now.

“You're diverting attention to Stefan, but it doesn’t mean your conflict with the Smalt Sect would end just like

that.

"Because of stinger and Xyla, Amos wouldn't easily let you off the hook.

"Vaati would probably try to benefit through this chaos too.

No matter the experience or people skills, Aria would never be better than Harvey York.

But before she came, she had already looked into the outskirts”

situation with Lennon Surrey. She would not have spoken this freely if that was not the case.

"True. People who accomplish great things would never be distracted by trivial matters anyway.

"This is what it means to gain profit from risk.

"The Smalt Sect was completely impenetrable...

"Even Vaati wouldn't be able to change a thing.

"But now that I'm here, it'd be stupid not to take action after seeing his son in high spirits."

That said, Harvey was not opposed to Aenar Temple's plans either.

The forces of the outskirts were simply brewing plans against each other.

The outskirts would be in bigger chaos with Aenar Temple in the fray, but the Smalt Sect's strength would also be

cut down exponentially.

This was an excellent chance for Harvey.

Aria lightly nodded. Her job was done when she relayed Lennon's words.

There were sthings that Lennon could not simply say, but Aria was fearless.

"Right, Sir York. I'll be leaving now.”

Aria stood after seeing Harvey finish his food, ready to leave.

“Hold on," blurted Harvey.

Aria froze before showing an odd gaze.

‘Does he wantto serve him tonight?

"It’s not that I'm opposed to it, but we're doing it so secretly...”

Before Aria could blush, Harvey quickly thought about the situation.

"There's something that I'd like you to do.

"Many forces in the outskirts would probably lie low before making a move when the enemy acts.

"I don't intend to wait any longer.

“Compared to waiting for an opportunity, I should just make my own.”

"What would you liketo do?"

“It’s not much.

Harvey cracked a smile.

“Send a letter to Neil Osborne.

"Tell him that I'll be visiting him myself.

"I don't have good relations with the Osborne family, but I do admire his attitude.

“Other than the letter, also look into all his likes and dislikes.

Prepare a gift based on that intel.

“It doesn’t have to be that big of a gift either.

“If it's too much, he'd think I'm asking him for a favor.”

Aria froze.

"What are you planning to do?"

"I'm setting up bait, of course. x

"I want the Smalt Sect to understand that if they keep stalling, someone like Neil might just stand against

them..." Wise 50 Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
