Gulping on food and drinks in such a high-end venue like the Paramount was an embarrassing act to those well-known ladies.‘Where did this guy come from?’‘Is he a reincarnation of a hungry ghost?’A middle-aged man wearing a suit then walked over soon after. He seemed pretty polite, but there was a fierce look in his eyes.Apparently, a person like that had been around the underworld for a while and recently retired.There was a name card on his chest, Hall Manager Lenny Thompson was written on the card.Lenny strutted toward Harvey York, then slapped Harvey’s plate onto the table and coldly exclaimed, “Sir, where is your invitation? Or can you tell me who brought you in here?”“What? Do I need an invitation to a banquet now?“I need another person to get me in too?“Is this place the Emperor’s palace now?”Harvey raised his eyebrows for a second, then grabbed a tart without minding anyone else.“How come I’ve never seen you ask for an invitation from other people?“Are yo
If anyone were just doing their job as they were told, Harvey York wouldn’t make it harder for them either. He wouldn’t mind telling them his background.But since Lenny Thompson obviously came here to support Steven Bauer, how could Harvey even possibly stay civil?“With the gods’ courage, you say?“Kid, I don’t need that to deal with you.“But speaking of, why are you doing this?”Lenny looked at Harvey as if he was a scoundrel that could not be taught.“Since you’re just a low-class person that doesn’t belong in this upper social circle, you shouldn’t be crashing without any invitation!“You should know that you wouldn’t gain anything other than embarrassing yourself by coming here without knowing your limits.“Do you understand what I’m talking about here?“If you are willing to get out of here obediently, I’ll pay for your cab myself.“I wouldn’t want a rotten egg spoiling the entire basket in the Paramount either. You understand, right?”Lenny then pulled out a hundred
A few tall and strong security guards came closer to Harvey York with cold expressions on their faces, ready to throw Harvey out.“I’m sorry! I brought him here!”Tamara Ebony and Xynthia Zimmer just came out after fixing their makeup.Seeing that Harvey was in a conflict with Lenny Thompson, they came forward to mediate the situation.Xynthia immediately rushed toward Lenny and apologized.“Manager Thompson, his name is Harvey. He’s my friend, and I brought him here to attend Lady Walker’s birthday banquet.“He’s quite rash, so please be patient with him!”Naturally, Xynthia didn’t want Harvey to be kicked out before the main event even started.Tamara glared at Harvey, full of disdain. But after seeing Xynthia standing up for Harvey, Tamara still quietly exclaimed, “Manager Thompson, please do it for my sake!“I’ll make him apologize!“Harvey York, hurry up and say sorry!”“There’s nothing else to say.”Harvey started to twirl the knife and fork in his hands.“I already
In Bryan Holt’s eyes, he could kill off an outsider like Harvey York with a flick of his finger. He could trample on Harvey however he pleased.Bryan felt like he was already giving enough respect toward Xynthia Zimmer for not taking action at that moment.“Young Master Holt, why are you here already?”Tamara Ebony could not help but get closer to Bryan, just as if she wanted to be merged with his body.At that moment, she pretended to stop the fight.“Mr. Harvey York here is a good friend of Xynthia’s.“When I went to fetch Xynthia, she said that she wouldn’t attend if Mr. York isn’t coming too.“That’s why I also invited him here.“Please don’t get mad, Young Master Holt. And don’t chase him away either. I won’t be able to keep Xynthia here if she wants to leave!”Tamara then looked at Harvey and said calmly, “Harvey, please don’t mind all of this. Young Master Holt is a very outspoken person. He has an extreme sense of loyalty as well, always sticking out for his fellow bro
“Maybe in the past, but all that changes now.”Just then, Harvey York decided to let the Kaizen Group take complete control of Mordu’s entertainment industry only to support Xynthia Zimmer and nothing else.If not, God knows how many random people would come to harass Xynthia when she was just trying to succeed in the industry. How annoying would that even be?Without a second thought, Harvey was too tired even to mind Bryan at that moment. He pulled out his phone and dialed Aiden Bauer’s number.“Two things. Number one, get into the market for Mordu’s entertainment industry. I want to see the company become number one for Mordu’s entertainment industry.“Number two, there is a person named Xynthia Zimmer. I’m supporting her while she’s in the entertainment industry. Kill off whoever dares to even take advantage of her!”Harvey nonchalantly hung up his phone after he was done talking.“Go on! Keep pretending!”Bryan Holt coldly laughed.“You must be so clueless, you country bu
Bryan Holt coldly chuckled while moving forward.Steven Walker coldly exclaimed, “Young Master Holt, I’m getting sick of this country bumpkin already! Let’s get him!”Tamara Ebony then subconsciously replied, “Young Master Holt, this isn’t the right occasion. You, of all people, should know the rules that the Paramount has. If we force our hand here, we will get in serious trouble!”Tamara naturally did not care about Harvey’s wellbeing. She was only afraid that she would be dragged into the situation.“Ms. Ebony, this country bumpkin is so arrogant right now! If I don’t kill him off now, my reputation will be tarnished entirely!“You should stay out of this matter! I’ll handle all responsibility for this incident!”Bryan strode forward fiercely after he was done talking.“Lady Kait Walker has arrived!” Someone exclaimed right at this moment.Everyone subconsciously turned their heads. Even the fierce Bryan had his flames diminished quite a bit.Harvey turned around, full of c
“Harvey York.”Before Tamara Ebony and the others introduced Harvey, he calmly continued talking.“I’m a security guard at Fragrant Hill clinging onto Xynthia Zimmer for food.”Kait Walker froze, then showed a hint of interest in her eyes.‘Someone actually dared to name their career in this day and age where everyone loves showing off. Truly interesting.’Xynthia was speechless for a moment. She did not know what to say.Her brother-in-law was always like this. But since she knew that Harvey must have other plans, she did not expose him then.Tamara, on the other hand, had her face turn beet red. She felt extremely embarrassed. Tamara was the one that brought Harvey in after all. Harvey tarnished her reputation when he declared to Kait that he was just a lowly security guard.Bryan Holt coldly exclaimed at that moment, “Lady Walker, I feel like we should just throw people who cling onto someone else for food like this out of here.“This circle doesn’t welcome people like that
“Is there something wrong?”Harvey York showed an indifferent expression, not even looking the three in the eye.Bryan Holt leaned closer and raised his wine glass toward Harvey.“Lady Walker is right. Since we all know each other, we’re all friends here!“We don’t have to be particular about making friends here! I’m here to apologize for how rash and rude I treated you earlier!”Steven Walker squinted his eyes and said, “Sir York, please be the better man here and don’t fuss about us clueless people. How does that sound?”Tamara Ebony leaned over as well.“Harvey, let’s all just get along in peace.”Xynthia Zimmer did not notice what was going on here since she was still chatting with a director in the crowd.Harvey gave a faint smile while looking at the three, then calmly replied, “I’m sorry, the three of you have no right to be my friend.“You’re not worthy!”“Ow!”Tamara twisted her high heels suddenly, and she almost fell to the ground. But she was fine since she fell
"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
