When Harvey received the news, he was confused.He had to admit that Lucas Jean, the prince of the Jean family that he had never met before, was indeed quite a big character.Lucas was already planning to use Senior and Quinn Zimmer to put South Light’s Zimmer family under his control.But after such a big incident, Mandy, who was previously completely suppressed by Lucas, now immediately climbed in ranks.Indeed, this was the best move to salvage the situation.Senior Zimmer’s death was good enough a condition to prove Mandy’s worth.Whether everything happened because of pure luck or something else, it was still a part of her strength.Since the Jean family planned to converge all the power within South Light and move back to Mordu, there must be one person to lead the movement.Taking the Jean family’s benefits into consideration, letting Mandy rise up in ranks was the best course of action.The other members of the Zimmer family did not have any strength nor the capabiliti
“We better find a way to apologize and compensate. It’ll be better if we try to deescalate the situation.”“CEO York, you have more important matters to attend to rise up in ranks when you head to Mordu. Josh would be a great support.”“Even if there’s no way to solve the situation entirely, we have to look for ways to lessen the blow.”“If we don’t, it’ll be harder for you to take control of Longmen’s Mordu branch.”Tyson had been following orders to investigate Longmen’s affairs. But the more he investigated, the more he came to understand the extent of power the gangsters held within their underworld. The information filled Tyson with fear.The Head Coach was strong, but the master of Longmen was none other than the previous Elder of the Army.Not only was he immensely powerful, his influence was wide-spread!Tyson also received news that Longmen excels at covering up their mistakes. Taking Josh and Samuel’s unusual relationship into consideration, offending Josh would make t
After an hour, the Lexus stopped outside a hidden courtyard at the hillside of Silver Nimbus Mountain.The courtyard was halfway up the mountain itself. The environment was peaceful, and an indescribable tranquility surrounded the place.Previously, when the Yorks held control of the back of the mountain, they had listed the place as forbidden land.But this courtyard was still standing despite those circumstances. This was enough to prove the strength and capability of the courtyard’s owner.The courtyard had Victorian style architecture, surrounded by five to six other rooms. The courtyard itself was far away. It exuded an aura of old antiquity. The name “Longmen” was placed on the courtyard, announcing the ownership of the entire property.Samuel invited Harvey to meet up at the backyard.After examining the courtyard, Harvey saw that there were quite a lot of luxurious cars with number plates from Mordu at the car park. It seemed there were quite a lot of people present.C
Dirt and dust covered Wyler’s face. He even smashed his head against the floor until it began to bleed profusely.Seemingly dissatisfied with what he did, Wyler then sat up and swung his plans against his face twice. His blows were utterly ruthless.Tyson was dumbfounded by the sight.‘Does he even need to go so far?’‘I only asked him to leave. He didn’t have to resort to this!’‘Is he planning to fake an injury?’Before Tyson could say anything, Wyler smirked before screaming, “Help! Murder! Harvey York’s trying to murder me!”“He’s unscrupulous! He’s trying to kill me in Longmen’s courtyard!”“Harvey York, you have no regard for the laws of the country! You’re disrespecting Longmen! You’re disrespecting the master of Longmen!”“Save me!”Wyler had shot the surveillance camera because he wanted Harvey to take the blame for everything.With so many witnesses around and no video proof, it would be quite easy for the situation to worsen.In a split second, several people the
“Wyler? What happened to you?!”“Move, step aside!”The members of the Ward family within Longmen showed up. A beautiful woman in an exquisite dress was leading the group, an anxious expression on her face. She appeared to be extremely distressed.She was none other than Wyler’s own mother, Josie Lopez.But Longmen’s branch leader from Mordu, Josh, seemed quite calm. He did not even show up.Josie rushed toward the scene of the incident. She saw Wyler, who was covered in blood, next to Harvey, who was standing calmly. Her expression instantly darkened.“Wyler, what happened to you?”“Why are you bleeding from your head?”“Why are there palm prints on your face?!”Josie jumped up in anger.“Whoever dared to hit my son, show yourself! I’ll kill you!”“Mother, save me! Save me!”A sly look flashed on Wyler’s face for a split second the moment his mother showed up, as if his plan was a success.“Harvey did this to me!”“He was the one who broke my rib cage last night!”“He c
The Ward family had seen arrogant people before during their time back in Mordu, but even then, they had never seen arrogance to this extent!“He’s so full of himself! He doesn’t even care about the law!”“Even Sheldon Xavier wouldn’t be this conceited!”“Looks like he’s not here to apologize today. He’s here to fight us to the death!”“We must ask the master of Longmen to serve justice!”“We should make people like him regret being born in this world!”Wyler grinned maliciously as he listened to the crowd’s constant insults against Harvey.“Harvey York, you’re too young to test me!”Harvey remained indifferent, never giving a clear reply. Tyson wanted to reply in his stead, but he simply smiled and stopped the latter, as if he was busy enjoying a monkey play.Wyler felt a shiver up his spine when he saw Harvey’s faint smile. A gust of cold immediately rushed toward his head.Josie could not hold back her feelings any longer at Harvey’s infuriatingly calm demeanor. She pointe
The Wards had already planned for this to happen.Why would they allow Tyson’s words, that held no weight, to affect the bigger picture?“Alright! Enough of this nonsense!”Josie glared at Harvey and snarled, “Harvey York! You must pay the price of daring to lay a finger on my precious son. You have no choice but to admit what you did, even if you refuse to!”“I have no choice?”Harvey chuckled.“Lady Lopez, is your family alright? You have so many people here making such a big scene just to frame me for slapping Wyler and insulting the Ward family?”“Aren’t you all just a little too narrow-minded?”The crowd all froze. They couldn’t understand the implication behind Harvey’s words.“Why don’t I help you out on this? Let’s cause a bigger scene! Then, you’ll understand what it means to look at the broader picture!”“Listen, Tyson. I’ll give you another lesson today. Against bastards like them, it’s useless to be reasonable.” After Harvey was done talking, he moved his body a
“Wyler!”“My dear Wyler!”Josie came to her senses and started screaming her lungs out.“Damn you, Harvey York! Damn you!”“Kill him! Kill him now! I want him buried with my son!”At this point, Josie had lost all rationale. She immediately gave the order to the Ward family’s professionals.The crowd that had gathered there to watch a spectacle swiftly fled at the sound of her order. None of them wanted to be dragged into the situation, should it escalate into anything much worse.Several high authorities of the Ward family exchanged glances before pulling out their weapons and immediately rushing toward Harvey.Their blades glinted maliciously in the light as their murderous intent suffocated the air. They were prepared to cut Harvey down then and there.Schwing, schwing, schwing!The roar of the blades were everywhere. The speed of the Longmen disciples was inhuman.Tyson was unable to get closer to Harvey. “CEO York, look out!”Tyson took out his blade from the sheath on
"That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som
"No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
After Geoffrey had left, Harvey then walked into the courtyard. He looked around. Once he was sure there were no hidden cameras, he got into the bathroom and showered. Then, he changed into a new outfit.Too many things happened while he was on his way here, and he had to review everything. Only then would he be able to see the big picture of what had happened today.After that, he found the beverages meant for him. Then, he walked to the courtyard's edge, looking at the faraway scenery. The courtyard was built by the hills and a water source. In addition to the bridges and streams, he could see the plains in the mountains. He could even see the grass swaying as the wind blew.At the edge of the grassy plains were steep cliffs. The Fosters had built several gazebo-like structures there, which were quite terrifying. Harvey was curious and gave these cliffs a better look. That should be the edge of Grand City. He could see an endless ocean with crashing waves from here.Harvey could
Harvey saw Geoffrey already waiting there when he alighted the car. When Geoffrey saw Harvey, he was apologetic about the entire matter. Harvey did not need to say anything, and Geoffrey walked over, saying, "Friend… No, Mr. Representative. We will give you an explanation that you'll be happy with."Feel free to stay in the Foster family's estate. If anything happens again, you do not need to say anything. Our family will take full responsibility for this!"Harvey sighed. "There's no need for this, Geoffrey. My visit to Grand City will affect plenty of people's interests. It's normal for them to try and stop me from coming no matter what.""It's not that you're affecting many people's interests. Most importantly, you have affected one faction's interests," Geoffrey said as he gestured and led Harvey into the estate. As he guided Harvey in, he said, "The entire Grand City now knows your reason for coming to Grand City is to take on the Three Halls. What you're doing is taking away
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
