On one side stood the steward James Clark, the chief guard George Clark, and two other guards.

On the other side were a dozen or so young men and women.

Seeing the young man at the front, Henry Carter quickly recalled his identity.

Andrew Harris.

Emily Harris's twin brother.

When Henry Carter saw Andrew Harris, Andrew Harris also saw Henry Carter.

Immediately, the richly dressed youth's eyes lit up: “My brother-in-law is here, you’re all finished.”

“A gathering?”

Henry Carter looked at Andrew Harris and remembered.

Not only was his courtyard located in the very heart of White Jade City, but it also covered over ten thousand square meters, displaying utter luxury—otherwise, it wouldn’t have cost three hundred and twenty spirit stones.

Andrew Harris often brought friends over to eat, drink, and have fun, throwing lavish banquets.

Looking at the dozen or so people around him now...

He’d brought friends over to party again.

“Brother-in-law, you came at just the right time. These ungrateful servants came out to cause trouble, they have no sense at all. Hurry up and send them back.”

Andrew Harris immediately said.

“They are my guards and steward, not servants.”

Henry Carter replied.

George Clark and the two guards glanced at Henry Carter.

Compared to before, their young master...

Really had changed a bit.

“Whatever, it’s all the same. Just get them out of here, don’t let them get in the way. I still need to host a banquet with my friends.”

Andrew Harris said impatiently, then called out to the dozen or so young men and women behind him: “I’ve booked three tables of the highest-tier Feixian Banquet at Xianlin Restaurant. In a bit, everyone eat, drink, and have fun!”

His words were immediately met with enthusiastic responses from the group: “Young Master Lin is so generous.”

“The highest-tier Feixian Banquet, one table costs nine hundred taels. Truly worthy of Young Master Lin, so bold.”

“Young Master Lin is so cool.”

Hearing the flattery and cheers, Andrew Harris waved his hand indifferently, and at the same time said to Henry Carter: “We’ll go in first. Oh, and when the people from Xianlin Restaurant arrive, remember to pay the bill for me.”

“Pay the bill?”

Henry Carter replied directly, “No money.”

“Not even three thousand taels, and you say you have no money?”

“Today, no one is allowed in.”

Henry Carter couldn’t be bothered with him and gave an order to George Clark.

“Yes.”

George Clark responded.

At this, Andrew Harris was displeased: “Wait, what do you mean? I can’t go in now?”

“Yes, is there a problem?”

“This courtyard also belongs to my sister. What right do you have to keep me out?”

“Every time you come here to eat and drink, you keep ordering things from outside and make me pay. That’s one thing, but you also bring a bunch of people to party, and after partying you just stay over for three to five days, treating my place like what?”

“And just for this you won’t let me in?”

Andrew Harris said disdainfully, “How can you live in such a big courtyard alone? What’s wrong with me bringing some friends to stay in the empty rooms?”

“My courtyard. Whether it’s empty or not is my business, as I please.”

“Always talking about your courtyard. So what if you have a courtyard in the inner city?”

Andrew Harris seemed to feel he’d lost face in front of his friends, and shouted angrily, “Henry Carter, I’ve finally seen your true colors. Remember this: today you ignore me, tomorrow you’ll be out of my league!”

Henry Carter raised an eyebrow: “Have I been too easygoing? In this past year, I’ve paid off no less than sixty spirit stones’ worth of your bills. Out of your league? Pay back the sixty spirit stones you owe me first.”

Andrew Harris grew even more impatient: “Cut the crap. I’m just asking, are you letting me in or not!?”

“I said, pay back what you owe me first.”

“Pay you? You won’t get a single copper! Henry Carter, I guess you don’t want to marry my sister. I’m telling her right now!”

“Take him!”

Henry Carter had lost his patience as well.

In a world where power is everything, he’d intended to keep a low profile, but Andrew Harris’s arrogance...

Made him want to hit someone!

“Young master?”

James Clark and George Clark were stunned, and couldn’t help but look at Henry Carter.

“Take him!”

“Yes.”

With Henry Carter’s confirmation, the long-annoyed George Clark stepped forward and grabbed at Andrew Harris.

“Henry Carter! How dare you!”

Andrew Harris screamed and retreated, but as a second-level Qi Refiner, he was no match for George Clark, who immediately seized his hands, twisted them behind his back, and pinned him to the ground.

“Henry Carter, are you crazy?!”

Pinned to the ground, Andrew Harris struggled fiercely, and as his delicate face rubbed against the rough floor, it quickly began to bleed.

The young men and women he’d brought looked on in panic, not knowing what to do.

“Send someone to the Lin Family Trading Company and have Robert Harris pay the debt.”

Henry Carter glanced at Andrew Harris: “We’re not taking advantage of the Lin Family Trading Company. His son owes money and won’t pay. Perfect. Samuel Cooper is a destiny cultivator—have him calculate the exact amount I’ve paid off for him over the past two years. Whatever the amount, that’s what he owes!”

He gave a cold laugh: “I believe there’s no one in White Jade City who dares owe the Liu family money and not pay!”

“Young master is right. Even the city lord of White Jade City wouldn’t dare disrespect the Liu family.”

James Clark said in a deep voice.

The look he gave Henry Carter grew even more approving.
