“Mr. Chambers, something’s wrong! Mordu’s Security Management System sealed off the Hengdian World Studios today!”“They said that there are serious safety hazards in our studio that must be thoroughly investigated. Nobody’s allowed in for the time being.”“Also, Durin spent a lot of money buying off the internet-famous people that we lifted up recently!”“After the curtain event went public, Country J’s Star Chaebol requested to permanently cease our collaboration.”“Several well-known celebrities under our contract had their scandals publicized, too! I’m afraid they won’t be able to show up in public for the time being.”“In South Light, the banks working with us immediately froze all of our assets. They said that our studio is a huge debt risk, and that they will not unfreeze our assets for now!”“...”With just a single call, Larry’s expression changed over and over again.These were news that came from his subordinates, who were shocked by the unexpected turn of events.E
Prince Patel signalled Larry to sit and said calmly, “Just tell me if something happened. You know me, I don’t like beating around the bush.”Larry let out a long sigh before replying quietly, “Prince Patel, the reason I came here so suddenly is to ask for your help.”“I think… I might’ve offended a big character!”“Hengdian World Studios is in big trouble because of him. It might even go bankrupt…”“Big trouble?” Prince Patel asked, not giving a straight answer.“If I was beaten to death when I’m away from Mordu, of course you’ll be in trouble.”“But now that I’m here, who dares to go against you?”“I suspect this man might have connections with the Lynch family. However, I was too careless and offended him before running a background check on him.”Larry’s eyes were twitching profusely.“I sent someone to investigate, so it shouldn’t be long before his information is revealed.”Prince Patel remained calm. “There’s no need for that. If he isn’t from one of the top ten famili
Harvey turned around at the sound of angry yells. As he looked back, he heard the sounds of high heels clacking behind him.A plastic face appeared in his view.A tall, svelte woman with a body that had gone through heavy plastic surgery marched over with her companions. She pointed haughtily at Harvey.“Who are you?”“Who let you in here?”“Don’t you know that this is the Keaton Real Estates’ banquet?!”“This isn’t a place just about anyone can waltz into!”“Unless you have an invitation, get out of here right now!”The plastic-faced woman glared at Harvey, filled with disdain. Naturally, she assumed that Harvey was just a dirty hillbilly sneaking in the banquet for some food.“I’m giving you one minute. If you don’t get out of here right now, I’ll get someone to break your legs and throw you out!”She was one of the core members of Keaton Real Estates, and was considered to be quite the big shot. Hence, her arrogance. Harvey did not say anything. Instead, he scrolled thro
Abbie Xavier waved her hand coldly after saying this. Suddenly, a few bodyguards walked over respectfully.“Secretary Xavier, what’s the matter?”Abbie turned around and said coldly, “Drive this little devil out. Don’t let him be an eyesore here!”Abbie was about to leave after speaking.The female employees behind her also looked at Harvey York with pity.This guy certainly did not know where he stood. He was certainly being suicidal! Coming to this place and challenged Keaton Real Estates.Several bodyguards came over with truncheons, trying to escort him out.Harvey said indifferently, “Abbie, do you want an invitation letter?”“I have a few with me. Do you dare to read them?”Abbie turned around and said coldly, “Do you have an invitation letter? If you can produce it, then I’ll kneel!”“Then you should be kneeling!”Harvey stepped forward in the next second.Slap!A crisp slap struck Abbie’s face, and her whole body flew out. A red palm print appeared on her plastic f
Bang!Both leaves of the brass door were knocked down by Harvey York’s kick to the ground, making a deafening noise.Everyone in the hall was startled, and they unconsciously looked over.The host speaking on the stage stopped abruptly and turned speechless as if he was being grabbed by someone by the neck.Seth Keaton was outclassed in Mordu. Nonetheless, he still had tens of millions of dollars in assets, after all. Thus, he had a good reputation in the real estate industry.All those who were invited by him to the banquet had high status and identity.No one expected that someone would knock open the door in such a way, unscrupulously and arrogantly.“Who are you?!”Everyone present also saw Seth’s secretary limping in the doorway, convulsing all over.More than ten of Seth’s bodyguards ran over in an instant. The one leading even screamed, and they all took out their truncheons and electric batons.“Who?! Who let you come and make trouble here?!“Do you know what place t
Seeing how Harvey York effortlessly knocked down all of Seth’s bodyguards to the ground, everyone finally understood why this little devil was being so arrogant.It turned out that he did have some skills.At this moment, Seth Keaton slightly squinted and did not care too much about Harvey’s ability in which he swept out all those people in an instant.After all, firearms were still more powerful than combat power in modern society.Power, status, wealth, and energy could instantly crush people more than the masters.There were so many ways to kill a strong master. There was no need to clash head-on with him.Meanwhile, Seth sent out a message calmly, asking the leading bodyguard to send over a few more bodyguards with firearms.Harvey looked indifferent and said coldly, “Seth, you still don’t want to come out at this point?”At this moment, an old man in a Chinese suit stood up, stared at Harvey with the noble aura of a superior.“Young man, do you know this is the center of
The old man in the suit screamed and struggled to get up. He then grabbed a wine bottle angrily after that, “Little brat, how dare you hit me?!! I’ll kill you!”Slap!Harvey York slapped the old man and once again sent him flying out!“I know myself very well. I said these things and did these things just to find out the truth!“You can go to the police! You can sue me! You can hire a lawyer!“But these aren’t the reasons for you to condone violence!“There’s law in today’s society!“As for your behavior, whether it’s right or wrong, I’ll have to send you to the police station first!”Harvey instantly returned the exact words to the old man, verbatim.The old man was so angry that he started to vomit blood. “You…”Harvey merely ignored him and walked up to the podium. Then, he kicked the various gifts prepared on the podium to the ground. He then looked around the audience again and said, “Seth Keaton, you still don’t want to come out now?”“Young man, don’t you know that I’
Harvey York smiled nonchalantly, “Yes, you guessed it right.”Seth Keaton was taken aback for a moment. He never expected Harvey to actually admit it. He said equivocally with great interest, “Brat, who do you think you are?“Is your surname Jean? Lynch? Smith or Patel?“If none of them is your surname, a person like you who have never seen the world, what right do you have to act pretentiously in front of me?“Do you think I, Seth Keaton, is just playing around after having been in Mordu for so many years?“Do you think anyone can come and mess with me?“Are you seriously kidding me?“Do you even know who you are facing now?”Seth glanced around the place casually with a cold expression. He then said lightly, “Since you don’t know, I wouldn’t mind letting you know.“This is the second-in-command in the tax system of Mordu!“This is the vice president of Bank of Mordu!“This is the Commissioner of Mordu Port!“This is the captain of the special police brigade!”Meanwhile,
Harvey could not stop rolling his eyes as he could feel his head throbbing again, but he still suppressed what he was feeling. "Thanks, but I don't like anything too greasy in the morning. I prefer vegetarian if possible. You can put the deep-fried hoppers aside. I'll reheat it in the afternoon."Vaida blinked her beautiful eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "I see. We'll set it aside for now, then. This is a local delicacy in Grand City. You can't even buy this with money.""Thanks; I appreciate it," replied Harvey, feeling the pressure. He had no choice but to get himself a bowl of oats with milk and slowly eat it. Harvey was worried Vaida might add something special to the oats or milk, but after eating, he realized there was nothing weird in it. It was just delicious.If food also had realms, while this was not at the level of a True Warrior, it was definitely at the level of a King of Arms. That was something that Harvey found surprising."Right, Harvey. I heard you become
"Oh, right," Geoffrey remembered something else. "While Harvey was the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, his identity isn't accepted by the seven families of Grand City. In other words, he has no support in Grand City at all. Even if everyone recognized that he is indeed your man of destiny, it's difficult for him to become mayor. Grand City is no longer the same city as it was a decade ago."Vaida frowned and said, "Getting Harvey to garner support in Grand City is not difficult. Find a way to make him the leader of the Belladonna Cult. Before making him the mayor, we can make him the cult leader first."That way, not only can we make it easier for Harvey, but we can also disgust the hell out of Dan. He's been obsessed with taking over the cult, right? Does he really think he can become mayor after becoming the leader of two of the seven families? He's dreaming!"Geoffrey was speechless. "Things aren't as easy as you think. If you simply give the cult to Harvey
"Not to mention, during the decade that the ex-mayor had disappeared, the entire Grand City had lost their respect toward him and the Belladonna Cult. Even you have become someone who only existed in the fringe. While Grand City looks like it didn't have a singular leader, the Hierophant's prophecy was guiding everything."That’s why we must be patient. On the one hand, we needed to make Harvey accept all of this. On the other hand, we have to rebuild a solid foundation as we advance. We will make the entirety of Grand City understand that the Belladonna Cult is still the same cult that rules over all! Only then can we obtain everything he has left for us."Then, Geoffrey cleared his throat. "Even I can wait for so long. I believe you'll be fine, correct?"Vaida gave it a thought, but she still hesitated. It was good for her that someone like Harvey, who fit the prophecy, appeared. But the problem was… This was supposed to be done slowly. Trouble was brewing underneath Grand City. H
"Kill him? Why should I?' Dan pulled out a long cigar and lit it up. After a huff, he puffed out a ring of smoke. "I've just received news that Vaida has gone crazy, and she's sure that Harvey was the man of her destiny. That way, once he leaves Grand City, she would die of depression or kill herself. Looks like I can become the mayor soon. The Hierophant didn't lie to me…"-There was no difference between the day-and-night cycles within Grand City and the world outside. When the sun finally set, Grand City was lit brightly, enticing everyone to enter.Harvey, who had been trying to send a sliver of his energy into Vaida, walked out of the room. There was a hint of fatigue on his face. He thought that it would be ineffective to do that. But he did not know why, after sending in his energy, Vaida managed to recover somewhat.Other than still being somewhat unstable and sure that Harvey was her man of destiny, she was slowly regaining control. Harvey felt a bit strange, but all he c
Harvey suddenly remembered something when he saw Vaida returning to her deep sleep. "I heard that Grand City doesn't have a mayor right now. Then, what's going on with the previous mayor?"Geoffrey sighed and answered, "After the Hierophant prophesied Vaida as the third incarnation of Grand City's progenitor, he had left Grand City to find a way to deal with this. A decade… He's gone for a decade, and no one has seen him since then. That's why everyone believes he's already dead. That's why the seven families agree that Grand City has no mayor right now."Harvey frowned. "Then, what about Dan?"Then Geoffrey replied, "Dan is the mayor's final disciple. But the old mayor had only taught him for less than a year before leaving Grand City. According to the city's rules, if Vaida is killed, Dan will become the leader of the Belladonna Cult. And he will also naturally become the mayor of Grand City."Harvey nodded. He had learned some more things. Vaida was indeed part of the Belladonna
According to Geoffrey, Vaida's condition was precarious. While no one was targeting her, she might jump into the sea on her own again at some unspecified time.A condition like that was very difficult to deal with. No matter what was torturing Vaida, Harvey believed that it might not be within his power to help her."Have you realized that Vaida seemed to be opening herself up to you in the final moments? She even fell into your arms," Geoffrey remembered something else. "Do you think her condition would improve if we simply continued with this? Of course, I know you're in love with someone else, so I am not imposing on you. But can you please stay with her as much as possible while she's in Grand City? This might stabilize her emotional state."Neve also nodded continuously. She could tell that Vaida's condition was severe and complicated. If Harvey refused to help, she might attempt to jump into the ocean again as soon as she woke up.Harvey was speechless and heaved a sigh. "You
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
