“You’d still keep this live-in son-in-law that’s been kicked out of another family and insist on him marrying our daughter!“Kelly Malone, you’re sick! Sick with madness!”Kelly then coldly replied, “Hazel Malone and Harvey York were childhood sweethearts. Both families already agreed on the marriage back then. I’m only honoring my end of the promise. Why? Is that bad?”“You…”June Lee was so mad that she could not catch a breath. She sat on the chair and glared at Kelly as if she wanted to tear him apart.Hazel frowned. She was getting more repulsed the more she looked at Harvey at that moment.Other than bluffing up a storm, Harvey was only good at chasing after what he could not obtain.It was because of Harvey that Hazel’s loving and caring parents were on each other’s throats.Her mother might even fall sick because of how mad she was.Steven Walker was so mad that he also left. It was unsure what the family was going to do next.Thinking about those affairs, Hazel felt
Harvey York walked out of the Building of Peace, then took a glance behind him without saying a word.He was indeed Mordu’s branch leader of Longmen, and this was where he would be revealing his identity.Even though Kelly Malone and his family did not believe Harvey, they would do so in the future.Harvey did not have any intention to explain either. He called for a cab and went to the destination that Tyson Woods arranged them to be.Harvey’s phone vibrated at this moment. A text message was forwarded.Kelly urged Harvey to stay in a hotel for the time being, then told Harvey not to chase after unattainable dreams and remain realistic. He also reminded Harvey not to talk big.Harvey could not help but smile after seeing the text message. Even though it had been a long time since they met, Kelly was still indeed a fine adult.Harvey felt that Kelly genuinely cared about him.Harvey gave a thought about it, then replied without providing much of an explanation saying that he ha
George Zabel respectfully opened a photo on his phone, cast it on the television, and then started his explanation.“Out of four sons from the Bauer family, the second and third sons are both filth. There’s really nothing good to talk about.“But the eldest son, Aiden, and the youngest son, Marco, are quite capable people.“Their decent combat prowess aside, they are practically being supported by a few founding members of Longmen’s Mordu branch.“Aiden previously formed an alliance with Deputy Branch Leader Josh Ward while Marco joined forces with Deputy Branch Leader Justin Walker.“These two deputy branch leaders are quite influential big characters, but they didn’t just help these two sons without any compensation.“Both sides had an agreement, once the Bauer family rose in ranks, they would have to support these deputy branch leaders and make them official branch leaders.“The Bauer family has a lot of influence toward Mordu’s Longmen branch, after all. It would be hard to
George Zabel and Old Niner had already prepared quite a lot of things in Mordu. Both of them could not wait for Harvey York to take action because they would have a chance to perform as well.Harvey gave a thought about the situation and then replied, “It’ll cost a bit too much if we take action now.“Let them fight each other first. We’ll clean up the rest when most of their heads are gone.“Is there any news about the Smith family?”Harvey changed the subject.“The Smith family…”George had a stern look on his face. After a moment, he then whispered, “Sir York, I was incompetent.“I’ve been trying to gather information from the sources that I have, but the scouts that were involved with the situation have all disappeared without a trace. It felt like some invisible eye was watching us.“That’s why after losing a couple of my best men, I stopped them from continuing with the mission.“Please give me instructions as to what I need to do next.”Harvey was slightly perplexed.
“You’re just a waste! Do you still think that you’re the best top talent in Mordu’s Longmen branch?!“Young Master Bauer treated you to a meal as respect!“You really don’t know the meaning of death, sneaking out halfway through the meal!“You should’ve just gave in and give the shares that belonged to Young Master Bauer, then you’ll be able to enjoy all the glory and riches that you could ever have! All the good food and the nice dresses that you’ll have for yourself!“But you don’t know how to pick right from wrong! Who do we blame for all this?!“Come, bring her back! Young Master Bauer’s waiting!”While the fighter leading the group was speaking, he gave Rachel Hardy two more slaps across her face. She seemed like she was about to faint after getting terribly beaten up.But Rachel still had some consciousness intact. She subconsciously looked toward the direction of Harvey York and the others, and then weakly muttered, “Help me…”Slap!The fighter slapped her across the fa
After seeing Aiden Bauer, Harvey York understood why Josh Ward would want to form an alliance with him.Aiden seemed like a wealthy playboy no matter how Harvey looked at him. It would be easy to control someone like him if he were the one to rise in the ranks.Josh would even be able to take control of Kaizen Group through Aiden and maybe even the entire Bauer family.Josh had quite a good plan. It was a shame that he offended someone he should not have offended and paid with his life.“Victor, why are you wasting so much time just to bring back a crippled woman?”Aiden walked forward and immediately gave the arrogant fighter a furious slap in the face.“Don’t you know that if you’re incompetent at doing your task, you’d be served by the law of the family?“I’ve already gotten my pants down halfway. Why are you still wasting your time here?“Are you playing around?”Victor was so scared that his face had lost all color. He immediately bowed and replied, “Young Master Bauer, i
Whoosh!Tyson Woods did not waste any time speaking and took a step forward, shoving some of the fighters aside. He grabbed Rachel Hardy, who was lying on the ground, and threw her right toward George Zabel.Old Niner walked forward and shielded Rachel behind him without any command.“You bastard! You dare go against us?!”Victor was trembling in anger. He pulled out his firearm and pointed it right at Tyson.“I want you dead!”Before Victor could even pull the trigger, Tyson coldly chuckled and pounced forward. Before anyone could even react, he was already in front of Victor in a blink of an eye. Then with a swift movement, the firearm was in Tyson’s hand.A small fry such as this did not deserve to be taken down by Harvey York.They could not even get past Tyson.“You want me dead?”Tyson was nonchalant about the situation.“When I was surviving in the underworld, you were still playing in the mud!”Tyson grabbed Victor’s hair and slammed his face on the marble table.B
The expressions of those fighters were horrible. They could not move in, but they could not retreat either.Aiden Bauer’s face was swollen red after getting slapped across the face multiple times. Big palm prints on his face were startling the crowd. Aiden’s eyes were constantly twitching because of this.“You bastard! I’ll tell you one thing, I don’t care who you are, I don’t care where you come from, and I don’t care what kind of people are behind your back!“You better kill me off right now!“Or else, I’ll kill your entire family tomorrow!“I, Aiden Bauer, do not go back on my words!”Harvey York clicked his tongue with disdain. He then lifted Aiden’s jaw with the gun and gave a slap across his face soon after.Slap!“You think that I won’t kill you right now?”Slap!“You’re planning to kill my entire family with your current capabilities?”Slap!“Was I paying you any respect?!”Slap!“Who gave you the courage to show off in front of me?!”Aiden’s head was spinning wi
Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City
"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
