Harvey York's Rise to Power

"Oh, right. I heard something else," Harvey said, as if something cto his mind. "About three years ago, you

still had a forty-four -million-dollar debt at the Hamilton Casino, right?

"It's not a lot, but it's not an amount you can scoff at either. To the Hamiltons, bad debts will affect their

company's share prices.

That's why they've been looking for the person who owed them this forty- four-million-dollar debt.

"I'm an acquaintance with the King of Gambling. If you need someone to organize a dinner for you to negotiate

this. I'm willing.

The Hamiltons are all compassionate people, so this should be negotiable."

Helios narrowed his eyes with a dry smile. "Should I thank you, then?"

"No rush," Harvey said with a faint smile. "The thing you'll be thankful for comes after this.

"I heard you're very close with a certain 'daughter" of a mafia boss in Wolsing? Not only did you help her with her

computer problems often, you even helped her clean up her clog drain. You two are so close together, and you

make single men likevery envious.

"Let's see... Should I help you ask the mafia boss for her hand in marriage and acknowledge your relationship?"

Harvey slowly opened his mouth, and said everything with a gentle smile.

After listening to what Harvey had to say, Helios' eyes couldn't stop twitching involuntarily. If what Harvey said

earlier was trying to convince him, what Harvey was doing right now was to threaten him.

Most importantly, all the secrets Helios had had all been exposed.

And the last two secrets would kill him!

Helios gave Harvey a deep look, and the redness in his eyes dissipated. A smile appeared on his face as he said,

"Harvey... No, I think I should be more respectful from now on. I'll call you Mr.

Harvey, then. You've spent a lot of effort today.

"I'm very thankful. It's very fortunate for Mandy to have you as her ex- husband... It's even makingenvious."

Harvey took a bottle of soda water on the table and gave it a few gulps before saying, "Sometimes, saving

others is the sas saving yourself. I understand the meaning of this very well, but I wonder if you do, Helios."

Helios sighed. "Of course I do, but you should know something as well, Mr. Harvey. There really existed a man

behind the curtain, but someone like him wouldn't contact my mother directly.

"I do have spieces of evidence, but I don't think they meant much. They're too weak to be used as

evidence. So, you should leave. It's destined that I won't have the things that you want from me. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"As long as I don't go against him, I might still have a chance at survival. But if I want to go against him or have

my revenge... Then it's truly the end of the line for me."

There was only fear in Helios' eyes when he said that. It was obvious he was telling the truth.

The man behind the curtain was far beyond the ability of someone like him to go against.

"Then I'll pray for you that you'll be able to survive in one piece,"

Harvey said as he stood up. He then took out a ncard, and put it on the table.

"Givea call if anything happens. I will do everything I can to save you once, but your life will belong to me

after that."
