Kelly Malone was utterly disappointed in Harvey York then.He was delighted that Harvey would work in an office and even got bonuses.But he didn’t think that Harvey wouldn’t stay grounded after going to work for a few days. He had become more and more prideful because of it.Kelly was starting to regret bringing Harvey into Mordu at this moment.It would be way better sending him a few hundred dollars worth of living expenses every month compared to this.Embarrassing!It was just embarrassing!After seeing Kelly’s devastated look, Harvey decided to come clean. “Let me tell you the truth, Uncle Malone,” Harvey said with an honest tone.Everyone leaned in almost immediately, wanting to hear what Harvey had to say.“The number one villa really belongs to me. Master Lynch gave it to me about a week ago, and the procedures are just about done.”“He gave it to you?”Miwa Fujihara let out a puff of laughter.“Are you telling me he just gave you a hundred and fifty million doll
“We don’t know yet, but the order came from Mordu. We suspect that it’s Sakura Miyamoto who gave the order.“Or maybe…”“Hector Thompson…”Harvey York squinted slightly after hearing that name.Even though Harvey did not challenge Hector directly, it was enough to know how tough of an opponent he would be.It was good that Kuroda Taro had been disposed of to make some room, so Harvey was not in a rush to retaliate.Harvey seemed quite interested. He wanted to see what kind of surprises this so-called killing order would offer.Right as Harvey was trying to solve the problem, the people were gossiping to no end on the side.“This number one villa’s so grand! People that live here surely have money that’ll last them ten whole lifetimes!”“No wonder this place is the number one villa. This place was built on such a strategic spot. The balcony can probably overlook the entire night view of Mordu Beach too.”“I don’t think anyone could even own this if they’re not born with it alr
Kelly Malone understood his wife all too well. “How old are you even, June? Why are you trying to lower yourself to that of a child?“Is there a point for any of this?”Miwa Fujihara started cackling.“Uncle Malone, why are you getting mad? You can’t blame Aunty Malone for what’s happening.“We’re really just curious about how the number one villa looks like from the inside!“Since Harvey York insisted on showing off, we’re only here to tag along.“We’re already here anyway, so let’s not waste our efforts!“That’ll be so boring!”Miwa then showed Harvey a warm smile while ignoring Kelly Malone’s horrible look on his face.“Sir York, are you done with your phone call?“Do we still need to wait for you a little longer?“Didn’t you say that the number one villa is yours?“Then, let us in already if that’s the case!“Don’t you dare tell us that you forgot your keys!“The doors of these villas must be locked by your password and fingerprint, right?“Forgetting your keys wil
After giving out a few instructions, Harvey York then said to Kelly Malone, “Please stay there for a while, Uncle Malone. Decoration materials are all over the hall, so they’re a bit dirty. Come in after they’re done tidying up the place.”The entrance of the villa was dead silent at this moment.Everyone was dumbfounded when they looked at Harvey as if they saw a ghost.Some of the influencers even slapped themselves in the face to make sure that they weren’t dreaming.Because none of them thought that Harvey actually lived in the number one villa.This was the Lynch family’s property, after all!When did Harvey become this close with the Lynch family?!Whether the Lynch family were the ones who gifted Harvey the villa or that he was only here to stay, it was enough to show his extraordinary status and power.June Lee’s eyes were frantically twitching at that moment. Her face was beet red, as if she was slapped repeatedly in the face.“The number one villa… How is this possib
After Kelly Malone asked what everyone wanted to know, June Lee and Hazel Malone were staring at Harvey York straight in the eye.Miwa Fujihara and the other influencers took a deep breath while showing a face full of excitement.Even Garry Duncan was barely standing still while extremely perplexed, trying to get something out of Harvey.Harvey smiled and leaned on the main seat.“Master Lynch gave this to me. I wasn’t really interested in it at first,” Harvey explained nonchalantly.“But after considering that I have no place to stay in Mordu, I reluctantly accepted it.“That being said, the formalities aren’t even done yet.”After hearing Harvey talk about this without a care in the world, mouthfuls of blood almost spurt out of everyone’s mouths.If everyone felt that Harvey was just showing off before, everything that was right in front of their eyes would be enough to prove that he’s actually telling the truth.And judging from Harvey’s tone, he really was unconcerned abou
At the Malone family’s number eleven villa.Everyone was still unusually awkward. Nobody said a word.Kelly Malone did not waste a moment to prepare the VIP guest room for Harvey York.Yvonne Xavier and the others were also assigned to stay on the second floor as a sign of respect.Garry Duncan was also staying here.And while Miwa was able to get a room, there weren’t enough rooms for the other influencers to stay. They could only leave, upset.Harvey went inside his room to rest. He was tired after a long day of work.But right when he laid down, Rachel Hardy called.“Branch Leader, did Vice Branch Leader Walker give you a call?“He told you about the evening banquet, did he not?”On the other side of the phone, Rachel’s respectful tone could be heard.Harvey smiled.“He sent me a text before saying that there’ll be an evening banquet that he wants me to attend next week.”“He said that it’s to mend the cracks of Mordu’s Longmen branch after the chaos.“Now that everyth
After that, Harvey York then asked for more workers to speed up the renovation process.Speaking of which, there was only a tiny portion of the villa left to be fixed. It should be done in a couple of days without much hassle.But Rachel insisted on installing bulletproof glasses and doors in case of another break-in.After hearing all this, Harvey was genuinely speechless.The number one villa suffered a lot of damage immediately after Harvey started to live in it. It had been broken in countless times already for the past few days.The villa really needed to be renovated with high-end materials. It would be pretty annoying if it needed renovation every time it got damaged.And since the Shindan Way issued a killing order against Harvey, he might not be able to live a comfortable life any longer.Without a second thought, Harvey had the urge to challenge the Shindan Way’s kendo hall in Mordu.But after considering that some things could not be solved with just killing, Harvey
Harvey York was utterly speechless. Who asked for a treatment that even the top Bro on the leaderboard would not get?Seeming as if Miwa Fujihara felt Harvey’s awkwardness, she just continued swaying her body while chuckling shyly.“Oh, Sir York. You know how things are. Women are the ones always suffering, while the men get all the pleasure they want.“Are you scared? Or maybe…“You’re incompetent?!” Miwa spoke in a provocative tone.Obviously, she knew that provocation would sometimes work better than temptation.Some men could not help but teach women a lesson after being provoked to show who’s boss!Harvey let out a huge sigh, then frowned.“I don’t mean anything else, but have you forgotten something? I’m Yvonne Xavier’s bodyguard.“I’m here to carry out my duties, nothing else.”Miwa chuckled.“Bodyguard? I don’t think there’s a need for that anymore.“Before I went to take a shower, I saw Garry Duncan knocking on her door.“In the middle of a sleepless night, a man
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
