‘Arrogant!’‘Shameless!’‘Crazy!’‘A small man intoxicated by his success!’‘A man that has no sense of danger!’‘What sort of identity do you even have?! What place do you think this is?! How dare you take the grand prize, Kait Walker, away?!’‘Don’t you know your limits?!’After seeing Harvey’s actions, Bryan Holt, Steven Walker, and the others were all twitching their eyes. They wanted to choke Harvey to death at that moment.Xynthia Zimmer covered her small mouth. She honestly did not know how to react.‘How could Brother-In-Law be like this?’But thinking that Harvey might have other plans, Xynthia forced her resentment down and chose not to say anything.She swore in her heart that she would not let Harvey off the hook if he were really like this!Right at this moment, both Steven and Bryan gave Tamara Ebony a look.Tamara nodded, then loudly exclaimed, “This is bad. This is terrible! The two-carat diamond that I planned to give Lady Walker is gone!”“It’s worth a f
“I’ve contacted the others already!“They’ll send in the security to handle this soon!“I’m warning you, Harvey York! Take out whatever it is that you stole!“If not, you won’t be able to get away with this if we find out that the diamond’s on you!“According to the rules here, stealing something would have a punishment equivalent to someone cheating on gambling venues, and that is to have your hand broken!”Bryan Holt coldly chuckled.Xynthia Zimmer stood in front of Harvey and exclaimed, “Stop throwing out baseless accusations! Harvey wouldn’t steal something like this. He doesn’t even need the money!”“He doesn’t need the money? Xynthia, stop protecting him already. His whole body screams, ‘I’m in need of a lot of money’!“Hurry up and get over here before he drags you into the situation!”Tamara Ebony pulled Xynthia to the side and stopped her from standing up for Harvey.Before Xynthia could even say anything else, the entrance of the hall was kicked open. A dozen suited
“Harvey, if you really found something…”“Just take it out.”“Miss Ebony will also thank you.”Kait Walker, who had stayed silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. Harvey was just her temporary boyfriend, but she still wanted to help him.Harvey was indifferent. “I didn’t find anything. How can I hand it over?”Kait frowned. “Harvey, you don’t understand how serious this is. ”“This place is owned by the Jean family of Mordu. I heard that the Islanders also have some shares here. If you make trouble here, it won’t end well for you.”“If you hand the diamond over right now, I’ll apologize to Miss Ebony for you and we’ll consider the problem settled. Alright?”“Apologize?” Harvey didn’t sound at all concerned. “Why should I apologize for things I didn’t do?”“Are you sure you didn’t pick up anything?” Kait’s frown deepened. It seemed Harvey didn’t appreciate her goodwill at all.Right now, he certainly wasn’t thankful for her kindness. Harvey remained uncaring, too lazy to
Harvey’s socks and shoes were taken off. His belt was pulled away, too. Yet, they found nothing.Bryan’s expression of arrogance gradually changed into disbelief. He exclaimed grimly, “Impossible! The diamond must be with him!” Lenny frowned. He kicked the security personnel away and searched Harvey by himself.The other security personnel then went through all the nooks and crannies in the entire hall. However, they found nothing.After more than ten minutes of active searching, they became downcast and exchanged gloomy looks. Even if they found the diamond in a corner, they could still frame Harvey.But now, there was nothing. What could they do?Lenny’s eyes fell on Bryan.Noticing this, Bryan frowned and nodded.Lenny took a deep breath and called in a few more security personnel, including the female ones.“Search!”“The suspect may have hidden it in someone else’s body. Everyone has to be searched!”“If he stole the diamond, then his fingerprints must be on it!”S
“Well, now. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation, Manager Thompson?” Harvey asked calmly.Lenny, who was about to leave, stopped and glared at Tamara, his incompetent friend. He then took a deep breath and said coldly, “What do you mean, Harvey?”“She has just admitted that she put the diamond in my pocket in an attempt to frame me.”“You should explain that to me, shouldn’t you?”Harvey continued. He wore a hollow, indifferent smile.“Did she? Did Miss Ebony just say that?” Lenny pretended to look surprised. “Did any of you hear it?”Bryan was the first to stand up and said, “No, we didn’t hear it!”“Yes, Miss Ebony is the victim! How could she put the diamond in your pocket?”“Not to mention, you don’t really have it in your pocket. How can you say that she’s accusing you?”Steven countered eloquently.Tamara took the opportunity to backpedal on her mistake and screamed angrily, “Stop getting ahead of yourself, York! It was just a slip of the tongue!”“The reason you could
“Harvey! Enough!”Kait finally spoke.“Tonight’s my birthday dinner. I don’t want to see blood.”“Fine. For my girlfriend’s sake, I won’t kill you.” Harvey stepped forward and slapped him again, sending his cruel words back to him.After that, he looked at Lenny with an indifferent expression. “You seem to have just said that you’d give me an explanation.”“How are you going to explain now?”“I won’t give you a hard time. Just follow the rules of Paramount, as you’ve so graciously mentioned to me repeatedly.”Lenny was intimidated by Harvey’s aura. He blurted out, “According to the rules, the thief will have to cut off one finger, and those who took part in framing will receive the same punishment.”Harvey patted Lenny’s face lightly and said, “Then, follow the rules. I’m waiting for your justification.”Bryan and Tamara’s faces turned pale.Bryan covered his face and yelled, “How dare you hit me, York! Just wait, I’ll kill you!”“You’ve no idea, but my elder brother is th
In less than three minutes…A group of tall and burly bodyguards walked into the hall. All of them looked powerful. They seemed like the type that punched hundreds of pounds.Harvey sipped some juice as he studied the bodyguards with narrowed eyes. He could tell at a glance that these people were great fighters from the streets.Lenny held his head after seeing them coming. His spiteful glare fell on Harvey.A bald man marched forward. He seemed to be more than six foot tall. He didn’t have any eyebrows, but his skin was extremely pale, and he carried with him a strange fierceness.He stepped forward and threw a casual glance at Harvey. He then picked up a bottle of red wine and started drinking.After downing more than half of the bottle, he narrowed his eyes at Harvey and sneered, “Boy, I heard that you dared to hit our Manager Thompson’s head in Paramount. This is our turf, you know. You’ve got guts!”Harvey said nonchalantly, “Thank you for the compliment.”The bald man nar
A man in a white suit, looking incomparable pompous, emerged from the crowd and approached Harvey in an instant.He was a true master. He was Big Fly’s bodyguard, and had helped Big Fly fight through many bloody battles in Mordu.He pulled out a military dagger and swung it directly at Harvey’s throat.“Ah!”A burst of shocked exclamations came from the watching crowd. No one had expected that things would develop to this point.Harvey might die here tonight!Xynthia gasped in fright. “Brother-in-law, be careful!”Unfortunately, no one heard her words.“Too weak!”Just as the military dagger was about to touch Harvey, Harvey smiled faintly. He stretched out two fingers and caught it with ease.Clang!A crisp sound.The imposing white suited man’s figure fell into an abrupt pause. The killing intent on his face seemed to freeze.“How can this be?!”His military dagger was caught so easily by Harvey. Harvey’s grip was so strong, making him unable to advance even one step.
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
