Harvey York's Rise to Power

“Hmph!

Andie Quinlan furiously threw her cigarette into the ashtray.

She squinted at Harvey York with her long and narrow eyes before finally speaking.

‘Til give you one chance to take back what you said.

“If not, I'll have to teach you a lesson!”

Harvey heaved a sigh.

"What kind of lesson are you going to give me?"

"I have the lady of Osborne’s family, important officials of the financial department, and the Venus Group

directors.

"Every single one of these people represents immense power in the outskirts!

"Disrespecting US would give you a tough tin the desert...

"Do you understand me?”

'A hard time?’

Harvey curiously stared at Andie.

At first, he was quite surprised by her attitude...

But he finally got it all figured out. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The upperclassmen of the outskirts had already formed a circle of their own.

The Wolven Tribe, the four great tribes, and the government officials were a part of this social group.

It would be easy forthem to push anyone to the top ranks if they wanted to.

The swould apply if they wanted someone's life to be a living hell.

This was where Andie's pride cfrom.

Harvey chuckled.

Based on this perspective, Neil Osborne’s reputation was probably exaggerated.

After all, a good official would take good care of themselves along with the people around them.

Their family was no exception!

Judging from Andie’s prideful attitude, it would be unbelievable if Neil were actually a fair and just man.

"What? Do you think you're funny?

"Or are you just mad?"

Andie seemed upset after seeing the smile on Harvey's face.

She crossed her legs, making herself seem more fierce, before squinting her eyes at Harvey.

"You must be pretty confident in yourself, huh?

“Come. Tellwhat you have for US so we can give you all our attention.

“If you can convince US, we might just let you join our circle.

"Then again, you don't seem any special.

“Lettell you something! The outskirts may seem like nothing to people from the mainland, but this place is

filled with outstanding and talented people!

“How dare an outsider even try to show off here?!

"What a joke!

"Even if you're somehow impressive, you still amount to nothing in a place like this!

"I suggest you look at yourself in the mirror, stop thinking of ways to cheat your way up!

HEEhe

Despite Andie saying she would give Harvey a chance to explain himself, she had been running her mouth,

constantly criticizing him in a single breath.

Mr. Lee, one of the directors of the Venus Group, squinted with a smile.

"I might not side with you on other things, Mrs. Andie...

"But I do agree with what you just said.

"The outskirts is filled with impressive people! Not just anybody can make a career immediately after coming

here!

People should always know their limits!"
