Harvey York’s Rise to Power
Chapter 116

Chapter 116

"Holy sh*t! Is he a wealthy man with a low profile?"

"He didn't look twice before swiping his card. That' s awesome!"

"Does he own any properties?"

Seeing Harvey York acting so frank, the crowd became momentarily stunned.

Among the crowd, Weston Jackman was the one who could see most clearly. As soon as Harvey pulled out the card, he too let out a startled gasp.

"An Amex Black Card!"

At his exclamation, pin drop silence enveloped the entire store.

The crowd might not have seen the Amex Black

Card, but it did not mean that they had never heard about it before.

A holder of the Amex Black Card would need to have at least a few hundred millions of cash in his bank account. Cash, not assets! Even for a big shot like Weston, he only had a few hundred thousands of cash in his hands. How exactly does a few hundred millions of cash look like?

For a card like that, there couldn't be more than five of them in Niumhi!

Even the shopkeeper was shocked. Was he going to make a fortune that day by finally meeting a billionaire?

Out of the blue, someone mentioned a possible explanation. "Could... Could it be just a card sticker he got online?"

Once he said that, everyone in the store became relieved. That must have just been a card sticker.

How could it be possible to witness such a thing in real life? What kind of joke was that? How could such a poor-looking man like him possess an Amex Black Card?

"Sir, you're such a disgusting human being!" Weston mocked him. "It's okay to be poor, but you' re just embarrassing yourself by pretending to be wealthy."

Harvey smiled and did not say anything. If he took out all of his money from his card, he could easily kill Weston by simply dropping the entire stack on him.

"Swipe it." Harvey was calm, speaking in a casual manner as though he was only about to spend a few pennies.

"Holy sh*t, don't tell me that's real..." Weston's face froze somewhat. His eyes scrutinized Harvey's card as he tried to look for any flaws in it.

The shopkeeper grew nervous as well. He ran straight to the counter and returned with a Pose Machine. Then, he swiped Harvey's card on it and faced the side with the password keys towards Harvey.

Harvey casually inserted the password, and then turned around as he readied to leave.

At the very next second...

"Beep beep beep... I'm sorry, the consumable balance of your card is insufficient...”

Harvey became stunned with shock. He could not understand what was happening.

Weston too was stunned for a second, but he soon burst into laughter. "Insufficient balance? There's a few hundred millions of dollars in an Amex Black Card. Now you're telling me you have insufficient balance? Hahahaha! That's hilarious!"

"Boy, are you out of your mind?" Weston was going crazy with laughter. "Did you really think that you can get money out by simply sticking a Amex Black

Card sticker on your card? Hahahaha!"

"Holy sh*t! This is the first time I have ever met someone this funny! Are you a moron?"

"Did this guy watch too many TV dramas? Does he really think that he can get money out just by putting a sticker and pretending to be rich? Does he even have a brain?"

The crowd broke into peals of laughter. They had seen people who tried to boast, but they had never met anyone who showed off the way Harvey did. Anyone who dared to walk around with a card that had an Amex Black Card sticker on it must be either a dumbass, or a moron. This was priceless! "Bloody hell! This poor sh*t was trying to play me for a fool!" The shopkeeper was pleased. Fortunately, he had insisted for the poor man to swipe his card first. Otherwise, he would have been doomed. Who else could he sell these off to if their seals were removed?

As for Yvonne, she bore a puzzled look on her face.

She knew how powerful Harvey's background was. Why did he fail to swipe his card? This was impossible, yet, it really did happen. Harvey was unable to comprehend the situation. He took back his card awkwardly and stared at it for a while. Then he said, "I don't know what's wrong with this card. How about I ask someone to send the money here..."

"Just stop already!" Weston, who was standing beside him, yelled. "I already said that it's okay to be poor, but why are you pretending you're not? Don't you think it's enough to waste the shopkeeper's time once? Are you trying to do it a second time? Wake up! Look at how pathetic you are! How could someone like you possibly know anyone wealthy?" "Miss, haven't you already seen his true side? He's a pauper who pretends to be wealthy to lure you in.

You must be careful. Don't regret it when you lose both your man and your wealth!" Weston advised Yvonne earnestly.

"Yes, miss. Scammers are everywhere now. Some might even get a fake bank book and boast about how much money he has. As it turns out, he has nothing!"

"Yeah! These types of men are all bastards and con men. Don't fall for their traps!"

"If I were you, I'd just give a man like him a slap.

What are you waiting for?"

"He's just a worthless sack of trash. How dare he

boast around like this!"

"( "

The crowd booed at Harvey. People like him were too disgusting, how could he even do such a thing?
