Harvey York's Rise to Power

"The Sutra of Nourishment is a technique that used to be very popular back in our country's history.

"According to the legends, the so-called Hermeticism that was practiced back in pre-Romulus Dynasty is this.

"However, our people lost the knowledge of it around the year 200. We have only unearthed it recently from the NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

tomb of an ancient king. And this is the original artifact.

"According to the experts that the Thompson family has invited from the Sacred Martial Art Training Ground, the

Sutra of Nourishment isn't a Martial Art technique and can't transform one into an elite...

"But its benefit stems from the fact that anyone can learn it even without any foundation.

"Once one has mastered it, not only can it strengthen one physically, it can even extend one's life.

"One of the seneschals serving the Thompson family had already personally learned it. It's very effective and

despite his advanced age, his hair is starting to turn black.

"According to our appraisal, those who have mastered the Sutra of Nourishment can at least extend their life for

another decade.

"The Thompson family didn't want to turn this into something unique that only we have, so we are willing to put

the original scroll on auction. Our hope is that it can be used by everyone so all of US can enjoy a longer life.

"And so, our starting bid is 750 million!

"We are willing to put the reputation of the Thompson family on the line that everything I've said is true!"

The excitement on the auctioneer's face was apparent when he said the last sentence. He had also read the

Sutra of Nourishment and he wouldn't be so excited if he didn't.

The attendees were also getting ready and were prepared to give it a go with everything they have.

"The Sutra of Nourishment?*

Just when everyone was so excited that they were willing to fight each other for it, Harvey suddenly scoffed. He

was sneering.

"You call that incomplete scroll that you dug out from a tomb the Sutra of Nourishment?

"If I'm correct, the content is as follows.

"The one without a nis the creator of Heaven and Earth.

The one with a nis the mother of all things. Only when we are in a state without desire can we observe its

mysteries.

But if we are in a state of desire, all we shall see are the superficialities. These two originate from the same

place, yet they are given different names. We call them mysteries, and the deepest mysteries lie at the gate

where all mysteries lead.

"I can recite this since I'm three years old.

"And you're using this to cheat others? No one would even read this if it was sold by the roadside!"

Harvey spoke as he recited the content from the so-called Sutra of Nourishment.

He had seen this all those years ago, back on the battlefield from one of the warriors back then.

After giving it a few looks, while he was sure that it could extend one's life, he didn't find everything else

interesting.

He didn't expect that the Thompsons would treat this as skind of treasure and use it to lie.

After Harvey had finished saying what he wanted to say, he made a smirk before leaving.

Hector, who had been calm and collected all the while inside his private room, cracked the glass in his hand.

His handsface was becoming pale and filled with fury.

He never expected Harvey could recite the content from the Sutra of Nourishment perfectly.

That bastard... How did he manage to get the content of the scroll?

This auction was doomed...

Everyone that was present were smart people, and most of them were able to memorize things with a glance or

by listening to it only once. That was why they had probably memorized everything Harvey had just said...

That bastard!
