Something had happened to Benjamin’s wife.Yona didn’t explain much and left after apologizing to Harvey.After thinking about it, Harvey decided to follow her and take a look at the situation.After all, he had received two impressive gifts from them. That, and Benjamin’s previous situation was related to the Island Nation’s onmyoji.He suspected that it probably had something to do with Benjamin’s wife.Yona had no objection to Harvey's willingness to help. For her, Harvey was already an omnipotent person.An hour later, they arrived at a manor at the foot of Purdue Mountain.This manor was backed by mountains and the sea. Its feng shui was excellent. Just by looking at it, people would feel comfortable and refreshed.“This manor was an old prince’s courtyard. It has a history of more than a hundred years.”“Godfather and Godmother enjoy silence. They’ve been living here since they came to Mordu.”“Historically, this place used to be the Island Nation’s embassy. A lot of th
Harvey didn’t speak anymore. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the entire manor.Following Yona’s lead, Harvey and his entourage arrived at the front hall of the manor.There was a sedan H9 with a license plate of Mordu 00001 in the front hall, which was enough to explain Benjamin’s identity.Harvey had guessed for a long time, but he still lamented how small the world was after confirming Benjamin’s identity.Yona was slightly surprised to see the car. “Godfather is also back.”“He had gone to Wolsing at first, but it seemed that he came back as soon as possible after receiving the news.”Harvey nodded, saying nothing.The place was heavily guarded. There were many bodyguards with live ammunition, and a few of them were part of the King of Arms from the military.With Benjamin’s identity and special status in Mordu as well as the great Country H, it was only to be expected.“I wonder if there are people of the Dragon Guards in the dark.”Harvey murmured.There w
Benjamin smiled helplessly at Yona’s attitude. He then glanced at Timothy and said, “You too. Yona’s worried about her godmother, and just so happened to speak a little louder. Why do you have to be so stern with her?”Timothy’s eyelids twitched. He then nodded and said, “I know, Brother-in-law.”“How about I invite Yona to dinner tonight and make amends with her?”Yona refuted coldly, “No need.”“I’m having dinner with Young Master York tonight.”“Young Master York?” Timothy’s eyes fell on Harvey after Yona spoke. A strange light flashed briefly through his eyes.However, Yona was already looking at Benjamin. Before Timothy could say anything, Yona said, “Godfather, I happened to meet Young Master York today, so I brought him here to take a look at our situation.”“Didn’t Young Master York help us to solve a problem before? I think he might have a solution.”Benjamin nodded at Harvey. He stepped forward with a smile and said, “Young Master York, it’s very kind of you.”He was
“How shameless! You’re trying to get yourself killed! Do you think a hillbilly like you can lay a finger on my sister?!”Timothy burst into rage and slapped Harvey’s hand away before Harvey could inspect Lady Lynch thoroughly.Benjamin frowned. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he decided to remain silent. The priest, on the other hand, coughed lightly and said, “My friend, Lady Lynch must’ve been cursed. I just removed the evil influence within her body, but you touched her again so suddenly. I know that you have good intentions and wanted to see if she was injured, but I won’t be able to do anything if evil influence from the outside world enters her body again.”Everyone stiffened at the priest’s words. Harvey turned around and stared at the priest from Mount Longhu with narrowed eyes. He asked calmly, “You are Master Ziegler from Mount Longhu, correct?”“Are you very certain that Lady Lynch is cursed, rather than poisoned or something similar?”Master Ziegler cro
Master Ziegler pinched his fingers and counted them. After that, he let out a grave sigh.“No wonder. Master Lynch, I do not know what your manor is used for or the history behind it…”“But I feel the presence of a resentful spirit within these parts. Someone must’ve died here in vain.”“Lady Lynch is a woman. Her body is frail, and she is filled with feminine energy. She must’ve touched the host of the evil influence by accident, or got too close to it. As a result, she was cursed and became possessed. ”Master Ziegler spoke with utmost certainty, as though he was passing true and righteous judgement.“Is that so?”Benjamin was enlightened.“Then, Master Ziegler, is there any way we can get rid of this evil?”“Of course! Please hold on for a moment, Master Lynch.”Master Ziegler closed his eyes. His body began to sway slowly and he chanted some mysterious prayers. He started to flail around his peach-wood sword. After a while, he pointed it toward a secluded corner at the b
A forced surrender!Master Ziegler was obviously forcing Harvey to surrender.Though Benjamin looked up to Harvey, he was more worried about his wife than anyone else.Benjamin could only sigh at that moment.“Sir York, you can see my wife’s condition. She was indeed cursed.”“We’ll leave it to Master Ziegler. Please, show me some respect and don’t speak any more.”“Did you hear that?!” Timothy loathed Harvey. He quickly followed up on Benjamin’s words and deliberately struck a verbal blow on Harvey.“Only specialized professionals know how to deal with metaphysics and geomancy. An outsider like you should stop butting in! If you chase Master Ziegler away, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”Harvey replied calmly, “But Lady Lynch isn’t cursed at all. Her body’s under a malicious incantation.”“Her being able to sleep this soundly is not due to Master Ziegler’s efforts. Incantations are the most powerful during evenings. Whoever caused this is most likely storing pow
Harvey nodded, then turned around and left without saying another word.Seeing him leave, Yona hurriedly followed him.Timothy watched her with a frustrated expression. He had unspeakable feelings for Yona. He wouldn’t allow any other man to get close to Yona, especially Harvey……Outside the Lynch Residence, Harvey called a cab and was about to leave the area. Yona swiftly ran over and apologized quietly.“I’m sorry, Sir York. My godfather is only blinded by his worries. I didn’t quite believe Master Ziegler either, but…”“One more thing…”Harvey shook his head to dissuade Yona from apologizing. “Master Ziegler might have a bit of talent, but incantations are man made. I couldn’t figure out why someone would do this, but whoever the culprit is, he or she has been planning this for a long time. I doubt they're only targeting your godmother.”“The culprit would most likely use your godmother to kill your godfather, so prepare yourself accordingly as soon as you can.”After
Harvey looked calmly at Timothy, not at all perturbed. “I’m not fighting you for a woman.”Timothy flashed Harvey a prideful smirk at Harvey’s words. He thought that Harvey’s words were a sign of submission, and that Harvey was now under his control. But before he could even reply, Harvey continued.“You don’t have the right to fight me, nor are you worthy.”“I’m not worthy?!”Timothy froze, stunned. A second later, he roared with disdainful laughter.“Harvey York, do you think that you’re some sort of big shot?”“Do you think that tricking my brother-in-law into liking you would gain you some measure of authority around here? Do you think you can look down on me because of this?”“Yes, my brother-in-law did like you. He even allowed Yona to take care of you then. But do you really think you have any more value in his eyes after the earlier incident?”“Let me tell you right now! Even if I break all of your limbs, he wouldn’t even care!”“To me, you’re just filth that failed to
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
