Although there must be a purpose when it came to gatherings and feasts…Harvey was really uninterested in this so-called party. If it weren’t for the fact that Yvonne had to socialize a little, he would have already taken her away.After taking a few casual glances and ensuring that there was no danger present, Harvey walked to the lobby outside to order a meal.“Young Master York!”“Branch Leader!”Just as Harvey sat down, Justin and Leonard, who had been waiting for a long time from afar, rushed respectfully to his side and stood before him with their heads bowed.Both were considered big shots who were quite renowned in Mordu’s upper circle. But as of this moment, they were acting like Harvey’s subordinates and didn’t dare to be pretentious.If one looked closely, there was a bright palm print of both Justin and Leonard’s faces. Although they did apply ointment to the palm print, it still looked a little shocking.Harvey took a sip of his tea and said indifferently, “What’s
Justin was clearly cozying up to Harvey.After all, Harvey was the true branch leader of the Longmen’s Mordu branch.Suffice to say, Justin’s future was in Harvey’s hands.Harvey smiled indifferently and said, “Deputy Branch Leader Walker, you truly have no other skills. But I really admire your ability in trimming your sail to the wind and always acting on the wishes of others.”“Since you have spoken to this point, I’ll do Kait a favor.”“I hope you cherish it too.”Harvey remained indifferent. He knew very well why Justin was acting respectfully to him in spite of jealousy. Aside from Harvey being the branch leader of Longmen, there was another reason: he got rid of Lucas Jean, yet was still able to stand here unscathed.Harvey’s courage in attacking Lucas Jean, one of the Six Princes of Mordu, was enough to showcase his ability.Harvey didn’t intend to ridicule sensible people. Instead, he admired Justin somewhat. It was certainly rare for Justin to sacrifice his pride
Harvey, meanwhile, nonchalantly tasted some of the side dishes. He picked up a teacup and glanced at Assistant Mullins indifferently.His indifferent gaze made Assistant Mullins’ body stiffen. Although he didn’t say anything, she knew very well what would happen to her if she said anything unnecessary.The scene of Justin and Chief Leonard Bray serving Harvey respectfully was even more shocking to her.Although she didn’t know what Harvey’s identity was, Harvey’s ability to intimidate Justin and Leonard was enough to reveal everything!She instantly understood that Justin and Leonard were not giving face to Garry just now…But to Harvey instead!Thinking of this, she made up her mind that she must keep everything that she saw today a secret.A money lover like her certainly had one advantage, and that was she knew her position as a powerless figure.When people like her encounter another who was weaker than them, they would trample the other party under their feet without remor
A white Lexus LX570 was driving unhurriedly not far behind. Occasionally, the car went back and forth, making it impossible to see through its purpose.But no matter how the car was driven, it never left Yvonne’s Mercedes-Benz.Harvey narrowed his eyes at the sight. “Yvonne. It’s not that the Smiths don’t dare to take action against you, but they are simply waiting for others to arrive.”“I initially thought that the Smiths’ affairs could be solved easily, but now…”“The tree longs for peace, but the wind will never cease.”Yvonne also narrowed his eyes and looked behind for a moment. She then said indifferently, “The Smiths are now being threatened by the assassin organization. None of us have the courage to go out at will.”“Even if Terry Smith comes out, he’ll bring dozens of guards with him.”“Under such circumstances, how are they able to send people to arrest me?”Harvey replied nonchalantly, “Did they invite the Deity from Wolsing?”Yvonne didn’t turn her head. She look
“The sovereign said that they will act as your loyal servants. They will do as you command.”“According to our intel, Harvey does indeed have some capability.”“But this is Mordu, after all. Not South Light. He doesn’t belong here.”“If you give the order, we’ll kill him with overwhelming force.”“Even it’s right here, right now…”Sakura smiled as she spoke. Despite the warmth in her smile, her words had turned it quite sinister.Hector reached out to caress Sakura’s adorable face, as if he was touching a rare treasure. After some time, he replied, “Haven’t you Islanders learned to play with power after being in Country H for so long?”“What’s the point if you’re only focused on killing?”“Just like a cat and mouse game, you have to toy your prey to gain the most satisfaction. Do you get it?”Sakura nodded while listening obediently.Hector laughed and said calmly, “Ms. Miyamoto, do you know what I like about you the most?”“You can’t wait to rip the new Mordu’s Longmen bran
The late Lucas’s renowned bodyguard, Macy, who wielded great strength, was twitching and shaking on the ground, barely alive and inches away from death.Before she drew her last breath, sorrow and fear could be seen in her eyes.Harvey squinted, Harvey then crouched down to inspect her pulse.The results left him rather perplexed. Macy must’ve been crippled first; after her limbs were wasted, she was left here to suffer and die.The injuries she got from the car crash were not that serious. Her broken limbs were her worst injury.When she saw that there was no danger around, Yvonne stepped out of the car and walked behind Harvey. She whispered, “CEO York, who is she?”“Do you know her?”Harvey waved his hand, signaling to tell Yvonne to stay back.He then took out his All-Cure Medicine that he brought with him wherever he went, and used it to treat Macy’s wounds for the time being. He then signaled the driver to call an ambulance right after. The All-Cure Medicine stirred Mac
Yvonne stepped back while saying worriedly, “CEO, you should get out of here too! This isn’t a mere coincidence. The enemy might have more tricks up his sleeve!”Harvey nodded in acknowledgement.“Get out of here first. I’ll be right behind you!“Harvey grabbed Macy, carried her up, and retreated his steps. Macy was slowly regaining her consciousness, but she still hadn’t recognized Harvey. She gritted her teeth and continued to yell, “I’m going to kill them! I’m going to kill every single one of you Islanders!”“They killed my entire family!”“They deserve death!”“You can’t do anything about my decision!”Harvey took another step back and started to rebuke Macy. “If you could actually beat them, you wouldn’t end up like this in the first place!”“And besides, working with the Islanders is never a possibility with them! I don’t know what happened, but judging from how you look right now, you probably deserved to end up the way you did!”At Harvey’s harsh words, Macy’s bo
The strangely-accented voice spoke again, his tone filled with arrogant ridicule.“Play God?”“No, no, no. I’m not just playing, I am God!”“And I’m here to take your lives!”“When you all fall, I’ll come out and cut off your heads!”“Especially you, beautiful woman of Country H! Your head will be my most prized possession!”“How dare you?!” A bodyguard screamed in anger and braved a step forward in response to this insult. The moment he did so, he fell to the ground, paralyzed. He seemed to have no strength to resist whatsoever.Against the poison mist that was slowly enveloping them, they were utterly powerless.At this point, Macy’s face had lost all color. She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t.Harvey narrowed his eyes, studying his surroundings quietly. Seeing that the poison mist was beginning to completely surround him, he placed Macy on the ground. He then signaled the driver to start the car engine and step hard on the gas, then jump out of the car the secon
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
