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.
The bald hunk looked indifferent when he spoke.However, he was obviously someone powerful from the streets. His tone of voice carried an indisputably murderous edge.The influencers in the room came to understand something at this moment. They exchanged terrified glances with each other, not daring to speak.Hazel’s heart jolted. She knew very well what would happen if she walked away with this bald hunk.Hazel instantly frowned and said, “Sir, I barely know you.”“Even if we’re acquaintances, you’ll need to make an appointment to invite me to dinner, no?”“You can go to my assistant, Miss Mullins, to make an appointment and let her check my schedule. She might arrange a time for us to have a meal together in a few days.”“I have a distinguished guest today. I hope you will understand my predicament.”“I’ll surely invite you to a good meal in the future.”Hazel put on a look of understanding. In truth, she knew very well that her excuse was just a stall.Although it was unl
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
One hour later, Harvey once again appeared at the VIP seats. Durandal and the others had been waiting for them. When they saw Harvey appear, they grinned. "One hour is over, pretty boy. Can we start the battle now? Looking at how confident you are, maybe you should consider fighting yourself. If you're willing, I can tell the Boxing Champion to just use one arm."It was obvious that not only did Durandal want to use this chance to test Harvey's power, but he also wanted to get him killed.Harvey smiled. "There's no need for overwhelming firepower. Even your father couldn't make me fight him, let alone your underling."Durandal's eyes turned incredibly cold when he heard that. Just as the atmosphere in the VIP seats was becoming fired up, the atmosphere around the ring was also becoming more tense.They hadn't even fought yet, but both sides were already staring down at each other apprehensively. It would be quite intense once the fight really began.Very quickly, Durandal took a
Harvey ignored all of them, but simply looked at all the fighters. In the end, Harvey's eyes fell on a young man of about eighteen years old. It was obvious he had just come of age, and he had trained his body well. From his physique, Harvey could tell that his martial arts abilities were quite good too.Harvey could tell immediately that the young man probably had an extraordinary upbringing to have such power at such an age. He might be a core student who came out from a Sacred Training Ground to train.Most importantly, the other fighters either looked at Harvey warily or in envy. Only he looked at Harvey peacefully, as if everyone in this world were ordinary people.Harvey gave Maya a look, and Maya quickly introduced him. "Sir, this is a servant that a member of the Ninth Branch picked up from under the bridge. He's mute, but he's extremely loyal. When we realized he has great talent in martial arts, we decided to turn him into a fighter."Harvey narrowed his eyes. What kind
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
