Winter was coming. The north wind howled throughout Mordu.In a seaside villa area, a fire was burning within an old building.“Come, come, come, Prince. You can try my newly unsealed fifty-year-old Maotai!”“We, the great Country H, have enjoyed beer and wine in the past few years. Winter is coming, and liquor can warm the body.”In the Walker Mansion, all the furniture in the previously chaotic hall had been replaced with brand new ones.One person was seated at each end of the rectangular dining table.Angelina, whose face was a little red and swollen, sat at one end. A young man in a woolen suit sat at the other end.Angelina’s temper was not as terrible as it was when she faced Harvey. At this moment, her temperament was very refined and sophisticated. She exuded the elegance tempered by all her time in the elite circles. Other than the unsealed Maotai, all kinds of exquisite food were present on the table. They were prepared by the Michelin chef.“Prince, you just got o
Lucas smiled. “Auntie, don’t worry.”“My relationship with Kait won’t change because of such a small thing.”“You have to trust me. Kait is not only your daughter, but she is also my fiancée.”“Naturally, I will treat her with great love and care.He snapped his finger lightly after speaking.A woman in a red dress, standing in the distance, came up and bowed.“Macy, give them a call.”“Tell them to bring Kait back.”Macy Howard nodded and then took a few steps back. She dialed her phone, her face blank and indifferent expression.Then, her face grew odd. She quickly dialed another number.Then a third, a fourth…Ten calls were made in succession, but they were all either shut down or the lines were busy.Macy could not remain indifferent anymore. She quickly approached Lucas and whispered in a low voice, “Prince, the call can’t get through. Something’s wrong.”Lucas looked indifferent. He saw Angelina’s puzzled eyes and said, “Locate them and let others go support them.”
Macy said solemnly, “Prince, I didn’t mean to ruin your mood.”“But I have to. This is very important!”Lucas’ voice was cold. He said slowly , “Say it!”Macy hurriedly went near his ears and quickly whispered the news to him in a low voice.Lucas’ face, which was originally calm, was replaced by unconcealed anxiety after listening to Macy’s words.“Lady Angelina, please don’t worry. I’ll let Kait come back safely before dawn.”Lucas regained his composure quickly and stood up.“I’m very happy to meet you today, but I still have some things to deal with.”“Let’s have another good meal together tomorrow.”“I’ll treat you at that time.”No matter the emergency, Lucas could always maintain his calm and sophisticated demeanor.“Okay, you should go.”Angelina’s eyes flickered slightly. She did not force Lucas to stay. Instead, she smiled and said, “Kait is very naïve. Since she’s still quite young, please bear with her.”Angelina assumed that Lucas’s men, sent to take Harvey an
Other than several security guards, Lenny and several staff members were also present. When they saw Lucas, they all knelt at the same time and greeted him. “Prince!”Lucas demanded coldly, “Where is Denzel?”Lenny walked forward with the gift box.“Good! Very good!”Lucas reached out to take it. When he saw the severed head inside, his complexion worsened.Denzel’s expression remained ferocious. However, it seemed he died in vain.“Denzel, don’t worry. I’ll find the mastermind behind this and hack him into pieces to avenge you!”Lucas was not angry. To him, anger was useless. Revenge was the most important thing.He suppressed his emotions, and was just about to put down the box.However, his eyes flickered when he discovered that something was jammed between Denzel’s eyebrows.Swish!Lucas pulled out a piece of paper.There was red writing on the paper.“Anyone who tries to lay their hands on Longmen…”“Will die in vain!”Lucas was slightly taken aback. A split second
“Right, Sir York!”Rachel then recalled something.“Also, the two cars chasing you on the road along the coast just now don’t belong to the Walker family.”“They’re Lucas’s men.”“After hearing that they fell into the sea, he got enraged and sent Lebron to deal with you.”“You must be extra careful when going out during these days. Lebron isn’t just some ordinary man.”“Lebron?”Harvey was quite interested in this man.“Who is he?”“He was said to be the sharpshooter of the American Delta Force. He’s proficient with all sorts of firearms!”“After he left the army, Lucas hired him to deal with his problems for a high price.”“Lebron has a diplomatic license. Even if something happens to him, Lucas won’t be dragged into the mess.”“In recent years, countless people have died at Lebron's hands.”Harvey mulled over her words. Then he asked, “Lebron isn’t his real name now, is it?”Rachel replied, “No, that’s just his codename. As for what his real name actually is, nobody rea
Harvey felt relaxed and relieved at the same time.It was good that Lebron appeared before Harvey reached Hengdian World Studios. With Xynthia around, he wouldn’t be able to perform his best.Looking at the turn of events from another perspective, perhaps his enemies have set up things so that Xynthia had to film in the middle of the night.After all, this was too much of a coincidence.Harvey was not afraid of guns, but he was worried about Xynthia. Previously, he had sent Tyson and several of his men to protect her.“You seem pretty arrogant, kid…”Lebron was calm and collected.“Since you admitted killing my brothers, it’ll be easier for me.”“Are you going to end your own life by your own volition? Or would you like me to cut off your skin piece by piece after breaking all your limbs?”“I suggest you pick the former. After all, a quick death is a blessing.”Harvey narrowed his eyes. Without giving a straight answer, he said, “If that’s the case, I’ll give you two choices
Harvey did not dodge the slugs this time. He stood still and threw the gravel he had scraped up moments ago. Boom, boom, boom!The gravel flew out in the exact trajectory of the slugs, as if Harvey knew where they were aimed. It hit right into the slugs.A loud bang echoed, the sound filling the air. Before the slugs had the chance to reach Harvey, they detonated. Lebron’s expression changed slightly at the sight. He did not expect that Harvey could predict his line of attack.Lebron flicked his firearm and shot once more.Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Harvey was fast. Once more, he scattered the gravel into the slugs.The slugs exploded as they came into contact with the gravel. By now, Lebron only had half of the slugs left on his belt.Weeeee-owwwww!Ear-piercing police sirens could be heard right at this moment. Someone had seen what was happening here and had called the police.Lebron stopped attacking and slowly took a few steps back. He said calmly, “You’re lucky, kid. Yo
Xynthia looked around her surroundings anxiously, her smile rather pale.The director, Fred Miller, was standing beside Stacy as the medical team that had recently arrived treated her. Stacy had completely passed out after her head was injured by the falling curtain. Although the medics were providing emergency treatment, Stacy still had to be sent to a hospital later.The sight terrified Xynthia. She was no popular celebrity, and people probably wouldn’t treat her the same as Stacy if she met with a similar accident. She might not even make it to a hospital before she bled out completely.“Stacy, what’s wrong?! What happened to you?”A pot-bellied man in a suit, accompanied by a few female companions, strode inside hastily. Anxiety was written all over his face when he saw Stacy’s condition. His face looked utterly horrible.Director Miller immediately rushed forward to welcome the man, all the while yelling,“CEO Keaton!”“That man is Stacy’s husband. I heard that he’s the CEO
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
