The BMW Z4 was considered the cheapest amongst luxury convertible cars.In the eyes of a wealthy person, that car would just be a toy.But a car like this would usually be enough to scare ordinary people.The car’s roof opened up at this moment, revealing a woman. She did not look pretty, but her face had layers upon layers of foundation to make her look a little more exquisite.The woman took out her phone to glance and then looked back at Harvey.“You’re Ms. Yvonne Xavier’s friend?”“Yes, that’s right.”Harvey nodded.“You must be Hazel Malone’s assistant, Ms. Mullins. Correct?”Assistant Mullins then coldly replied, “How can you be this arrogant?! Why aren’t you even waiting for me on the side of the road? Do you want me to circle back to the entrance just for you?“Don’t you know that I’ll be charged five whole dollars just to park here?!“Get in the car already! I don’t know what Ms. Xavier’s thinking, asking me to fetch a poor fool that doesn’t even own a car.”Assist
Harvey York showed no emotion while coldly staring at Assistant Mullins’ smug look on her face. After all, there was no point to converse with such a small fry.As for having lunch at Chief Leonard Bray’s temple?A smile flashed on Harvey’s face while his interest piqued after hearing this. Chief Leonard was an intriguing person. Even though he was an outsider who trained in ancient martial arts, he still tried to dabble in business.Harvey wondered if the palm print on his face the other night would still be there.Seeing Harvey quietly sitting in the passenger’s seat, Assistant Mullins thought he was terrified of hearing Chief Leonard’s name.A derisive smile showed on her face while she steered the car. Soon, the car was on Mordu’s viaduct while heading toward the suburbs.Half an hour later, the car headed to an area in front of Purdue Mountain.The place was a five-star scenic area. It was surrounded by tall mountains. Even though it wasn’t a very high place, the scenery wa
“To be honest with you, Ms. Xavier. I know this man.“It’s really embarrassing talking about this. He’s actually a poor relative that my father found from Buckwood.“I recommended him to Kaizen Group not long ago to work there.“But then out of sheer luck, he actually got a contract signed and gave himself a long vacation.“I was wondering what he's been doing recently. I didn’t think that he came here to be your bodyguard!”“You must’ve been fooled by him, Ms. Xavier! I know full well what this man is like!“Do you want him to keep you safe?“You should just forget about it!”After hearing Hazel Malone’s words, the internet-famous beauties immediately lost interest toward Harvey York.They heard Yvonne Xavier saying that she had a friend who was coming over and thought Harvey would be some prince or young master, but then he was just a bodyguard.It was fine that he was just a bodyguard, but he was also a poor relative that Hazel’s father found from the countryside.At this
After hearing all the gossiping, Yvonne Xavier glared at Harvey York while showing a slight grievance.It was good that Harvey assigned Young Master Duncan to take care of Yvonne.But right when both of them started talking, Yvonne already felt that Young Master Duncan had unspeakable feelings toward her.That was why Yvonne immediately dismissed him.But she didn’t know how Young Master Duncan managed to get close to Hazel Malone.He even told Hazel about Yvonne’s imminent danger.It was hard to tell whether Hazel was actually dumb or merely faking it. After knowing about the incident, she was still determined to get Yvonne and Young Master Duncan back together.Hazel’s attitude was apparent at this moment. She wanted to be the middleman and make Young Master Duncan as Yvonne’s bodyguard again and keep her safe.Harvey sent a few texts to Yvonne, then bitterly chuckled after seeing Yvonne’s explanation.He did not expect that someone Bellamy Blake hired would be this unreliab
“A professional?!”Hazel Malone showed a derisive smirk.“Yvonne Xavier, don’t be fooled by this filth!“Just look at his small arms and legs. How does he even look like a professional?“How can you even see the mannerisms of an upperclassman?“How many people in Mordu do you think are more skilled than Young Master Duncan himself?“Anyway, don’t you worry too much. He’s not here to be your bodyguard! On the contrary, he’s only here to keep the place safe!“With him around, even the Smith family can’t lay a finger on you!“Even Hector Thompson himself would have to show him some respect!”Hazel coldly glared at Harvey York full of disdain after her speech.“How can a mere outsider even compare to a top talent?”“They’re like night and day!”The beauties then took out their phones and searched for Garry Duncan’s videos and showed them to Yvonne.Garry seemed extremely capable in the videos, there was nothing that he could not do. There were videos of him shattering a brick
Garry Duncan exuded an impeccable aura befitting of his noble. He only gave a normal greeting, but that was enough to send Hazel and the other women swooning. Although Garry wasn’t as handsome as Durin, he was undoubtedly quite the attractive catch. Hazel, for her part, was a little reserved because of her relationship with “top Bro (on the leaderboard)”.However, the rest of the influencers wanted to latch on to Garry and wished they could fall into his arms at that very moment. “Young Master Duncan, please come in. This meal would be tasteless without you, our distinguished guest!”Hazel led Garry in. She said with a smile, “Miss Xavier is very pleased to know that you are coming. Both of you are old acquaintances, so I don’t have to introduce you.”Yvonne frowned slightly. She felt as if she was being forcibly pushed into something she didn’t like.Nonetheless, she could only smile and reply courteously, “Young Master Duncan, it’s been a while.”“Miss Xavier, your absence
Hazel was a little jealous, but after thinking that her “top Bro (on the leaderboard)” might as well be on par as Garry, she instantly smiled and said, “Yvonne, this is a rare opportunity. Hurry up and thank Young Master Duncan!”“Do you know how many ladies want a chance to receive Young Master Duncan’s protection, only to be rejected?”The rest of the influencers all stared at Yvonne with gazes of envy.All of them couldn’t wait to devour the great Country H’s top talent, the Mixed Martial Arts Champion.Yet, none of them expected that Yvonne would be granted the chance.Yvonne frowned. She wondered what would be the least offensive way to reject Garry. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Duncan and Miss Malone. But I don’t think Miss Xavier needs your so-called protection.”In the midst of it all, Harvey put down his teacup and walked over. ‘Pop!’ He quickly grabbed Garry with his right hand and said with a smile,“You see, Miss Xavier has already asked me to be her twenty-fou
Seeing Harvey’s somewhat conceited appearance, Yvonne hurriedly interjected, “Young Master Duncan, Young Master York, don’t do this. Can you stop fighting for my sake?”Harvey smiled, ready to let the matter go. Garry, however, grinned when he heard Yvonne’s words. “Miss Xavier, since Young Master York said that he can protect you, he’ll have to show it to me so I’ll know if I can trust him, right?”“A mongrel who dares to act so pretentiously in front of me would end up causing a lot of trouble. I might have to clean up after his mess.”“And I, Garry Duncan, isn’t someone who does that!”The smiling Garry exerted more force as he spoke. Before, he simply wanted to embarrass Harvey. Now, he wanted to ruin Harvey completely.He couldn’t help it. Harvey was getting a lot of attention from his goddess.To Garry, anyone who rashly approached Yvonne was damned!However, Harvey remained indifferent. It was as if he didn’t feel anything even though Garry had increased his strength.
"Enough. There's no point staying here. This place is cold and lifeless. Let's return to Wolsing. We can have something hot together. I also have something I want to talk with you about," Samuel said as he patted Harvey's shoulder. Then, Samuel wanted to take Harvey with him."Nah," Harvey suddenly said. "I need to send Mandy back home first. Maybe over a cup of tea with milk to warm her body and stop her from shaking. We can go out another time."Everyone was stunned after they heard what Harvey had just said. How could Harvey reject an invitation from someone important like Samuel? Just… Who was he?But before they could even recover, Neve suddenly grabbed a hand crossbow from one of her followers and pointed it toward Harvey. It was clear that she was still upset. The madness on her face was tinged by vengefulness and pain as she shouted, "I know you're more important than any of us, Mr. Samuel! I know someone like you can ignore all the laws in this world! But where's justice in
It was obvious that Lanny had no choice but to say that. Since if she did not do that, not only would she ruin the Bennett family's reputation, but the entire Grand City's reputation would also be tarnished.""Oh, right. You're called Lanny? And you're threatening me with your predecessor? Are you from White Peak by any chance?" Samuel asked curiously.Lanny gritted her teeth and replied, "That's right. I'm from White Peak, one of the Seven Families of Grand City."Samuel smirked and said, "I have dueled Ares Bennett three times, and he lost to me three times. If I wanted to, I could have slain him immediately the last time if I wanted to. That's why Ares has to call me Mr. Samuel whenever he sees me on the street and listens to me. You're just a greenhorn from White Peak… And you're pretending to be something special before me?"Samuel did not bother showing Lanny any respect. "Not to mention, everyone here has a good head on their shoulders. What really happened and what the trut
"It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Samuel!" said Lanny with a darkened expression."But just now, I heard something about fighting to the last man, and there were so many weapons being used here that were targeted against martial artists. Are you telling me there's a misunderstanding? Do I look like a fool?" Samuel gave a cold smile and waved his hand.A formless wave of energy instantly rolled against Lanny's men. Lanny and the others were shocked and used everything they could to block this attack, which took them by surprise.But it was useless.In just an instant, all the Grand City's youths did everything they could, but all of them had to take three steps back as they coughed out a mouthful of blood.Some distance away, some men with longbows and crossbows also grunted as they fell to the ground.In just a simple attack, the Forbidden Wasteland's defenses instantly crumbled.Perhaps this was what they meant by invincibility.No one from Grand City dared stand beside Harvey
The man who came wore a white robe with a cold expression. He looked around and spoke clearly, "I heard someone say my young master has committed murder. I'm here to see if any evidence and witnesses are saying so. If I find any of them are fake, I'll slay those and their families who claim so!"He said it casually, like an old man making a comment while sweeping the streets. However, everyone here could feel their heart skipping a beat.There was only silence.Even Ethan's gaze froze for a moment. That was because he sensed an aura from the old man, which was extremely close to the chief instructor.He was an elite!As for the rest of those from Grand City, they were all stunned. The old man was able to hover in the air. This could only be done when one had become one with nature! Could it be that other elites who were not from the Grand City had reached the same level?Even Lanny, who boasted that a great power supported her, could not help but watch, her expression pale and in
"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E
"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?
Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
