Harvey York squinted slightly while looking at Aiden Bauer, who had constantly been groveling.He did not think that this wealthy playboy could even bring up a constructive plan such as this.‘This idea isn’t bad at all. I’ll be able to deal with everything at once with this.‘I’ll be able to catch the higher-ups first before anyone else. If I deal with them first, their subordinates would naturally have to obey me.’“Young Master Bauer, that’s a pretty good idea.”Harvey slowly walked forward and glared at Aiden.“But you were the one screaming about how you’ll murder my entire family. Do you really think that I’ll ever trust you?”Aiden pounced forward and hugged Harvey’s leg, then said while crying, “Branch Leader York, all of it was my fault before! I didn’t know who you were! I wouldn’t dare cause you any more trouble! I wouldn’t dare to take revenge against you either!“Please give me a chance!“I’ll gladly be your lackey! No, no, no, I’ll even be your dog!“I’ll bite w
Initially, Harvey planned to let Rachel kill Aiden as a pledge to him.However, he never imagined that Aiden still had such insight and vision.Still, Aiden was right.Even if Rachel entirely succumbed to Harvey, Oliver’s death would still remain as a thorn between the two of them.Perhaps she wouldn’t do anything under normal circumstances, but she might lose control during critical moments. The best solution was to have one more person beside her. For instance, Aiden Bauer. In this way, they could check and balance out each other.After all, Rachel was almost raped by Aiden. Harvey firmly believed that the two of them would never make a good team.“Interesting.”A meaningful look flashed on Harvey’s face as he thought of this.He casually took out a pill from his body and threw it on the ground, and said indifferently, “I’ll give you a chance to be my lackey.”“I can support you as the head of the Bauer family. You’ll manage the Kaizen Group for me and help me control thei
The caller address of this beautiful number was Mordu. It was a number most people couldn’t get their hands on. At first, Harvey assumed the caller to be Yona. Thus, he waited until the other party had called for two or three times before finally picking up his phone.Immediately, an impatient voice yelled from the other side, “Are you, Harvey?!”The other party was not Yona, but from her voice, she should be a girl in her early twenties.“It’s me,” Harvey said with great interest. “Who is this?”The other party snorted. “Harvey, Prince York! You’re always on your high horse!”“Mordu isn’t a backwater area like Buckwood. You come marching into Mordu to patronize all of us, but you never know when you’ll trip and fall!”After a few more doses of sarcasm from the other party, she finally revealed, “I’m Hailey Smith, Yvonne’s cousin.”Harvey was taken aback for a moment. A split-second later he blurted out, “How is she? Is she okay? I want to see her!”Hailey sneered sarcastica
After waking up early in the morning the next day, Harvey dressed up and immediately headed to the rooftop western restaurant.Prague Hotel was where he stayed. Frankly speaking, this so-called “net red” western restaurant’s view was not as good as the one in the presidential suite he stayed in.It was almost half-past ten when he entered the western restaurant.Harvey glanced around the place, and quickly spotted Hailey sitting with her friend.But this wasn’t because Harvey knew Hailey.Hailey and her friend sat in the best sightseeing spot in the western restaurant. Coupling with their pretty appearances and attractive figures, the two instantly became the focus of the entire place.The first of them was wearing a black miniskirt that exposed a pair of white and tender thighs. She had a pointed chin and a small, exquisite face.Her face was quite similar to Yvonne's. She should be Hailey Smith.The other girl accompanying Hailey was wearing a short-styled cheongsam. She had
Harvey was indifferent. He turned to Hailey and said, “Are you Yvonne’s cousin, Miss Smith?”“Yes. I’m Hailey Smith.” Hailey frowned. “You are Harvey?”She hoped that the man in front of her was not Harvey.Talking to such a man was too embarrassing for her!‘Cousin Yvonne must be out of her mind. How did she become the secretary of such a man? She’s certainly disgraced the Smiths!’“Yes, I’m Harvey.”Harvey sat on his own accord, not affected by the cold aura emanated by these two women and treating them as if they were mere passers-by.“I’ve been wondering, what happened to Yvonne? Why can’t she come out to see me in person?”“Who do you think you are?” Anna sneered. “Yvonne is the princess in our circle. She isn’t someone a hillbilly like you could see as you please!”“You should be honored that we’re willing to come out to see you!”“Can you stop being so shameless?!”“More importantly, no one asked you to come here! What’s a hillbilly like you doing here in Mordu?”“Th
Anna sneered. “If you don’t have money, just admit it. Stop being stubborn!”“Don’t tell me you ordered a takeaway for about a few dollars and say they’re dumplings from Chenghuang Temple.”“We ate the dumplings at a party before. You can deceive the people who don’t know the goods. What’s the point of acting in front of us?”Anna shot Harvey a mocking glare. This guy was not only a live-in son-in-law, but also an ignorant hillbilly!He had no skills whatsoever, but he still pretended to be better than others.What was he thinking?Hailey also looked disdainful. She couldn’t be bothered to talk to Harvey.Just sitting at Harvey’s opposite was embarrassing enough! Harvey, on the other hand, stared at these two wannabes and their sophisticated act, and wanted nothing but to slap them in the face.When he thought of Yvonne, he suppressed his annoyance and remained composed. “Let’s get down to business.”“How is Yvonne now?”“Has her freedom been restricted?”“It’s fine if sh
With this in mind, Hailey said, “Cousin Yvonne doesn’t have any problems.”“She just doesn’t want to see you. Don’t you understand what I mean after listening for so long?”“Do I have to be so blunt?”“Anyway, she’s completely fine. Go back to where you came from and don’t ever return. Then everything will be better!”“Take the money and leave! If this isn't enough, I’ll give you more!”Hailey had a sincere expression on her face, but the sarcasm between the words remained unabated.Harvey’s eyes grew cold. He said indifferently, “Don’t make me repeat myself. Either you tell me what happened to Yvonne and what problems she’s having…” “Or I’ll go to the Smith family to find out for myself.”“You…” Seeing that Harvey still retained this attitude after she had been talking for so long, Hailey grew so infuriated that she lost her appetite.Anna sneered again., “You want to know about Yvonne’s situation? You want to visit the Smiths?”“Are you worthy?”“Also, so what if you kno
Young Master York?!Gaozu dumplings?!The whole crowd was slightly taken aback after hearing the words. All of them were a little dumbfounded.Everyone watched as a short-haired beauty pushed the insulation cart carefully, took out a steamer, and placed it in front of Harvey.There were only four dumplings in the steamer. Despite looking very ordinary, they exuded an unspeakable aroma.People who weren’t ignorant would immediately know it after smelling the aroma. These were the legendary Gaozu dumplings!Normally, people who wanted to eat one had to wait in line for at least three to five years!Even if they came from a wealthy family, they couldn’t eat it whenever they wanted!The fact this man had someone bring in the Gaozu dumplings with the steamer was certainly enough to explain his identity!Harvey glanced faintly at the woman pushing the cart. It was Yona.He just sent a message casually last night without thinking much of it. He never expected that this woman would a
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
