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
Harvey York felt embarrassed to explain that he barged into the room because he was genuinely worried about Yvonne Xavier. He could only let out an awkward smile then.“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading out.”Yvonne shook her head.“I wanted to tell you this tomorrow, CEO York. But now that you’re here, why don’t I tell you right now?”“Hmmm?”Harvey knew that Yvonne wouldn’t just say anything out of the blue. His interest peaked at this moment.Yvonne took out a document from her handbag and handed it over to Harvey.“This is commercial land from Mordu Beach. It was previously under the control of a big family from Hong Kong.“But since it hasn’t been developed for thirty years now, the land is under the government’s control again.“Mordu’s government decided to auction off the land.“It’ll be held tomorrow at Purdue.“The land’s value is immense. If we can secure it and establish a commercial center there, it’ll benefit both Sky Corporation’s expansion within Mordu
After the two were done talking, the atmosphere suddenly turned quite flirtatious.The two didn’t even know how to start talking anymore.Yvonne Xavier started blinking a few times.“CEO York, how am I supposed to sleep when you kicked down my door like that?”Harvey thought about it, then replied, “How about this? You can sleep in my room, and I’ll sleep in yours instead.“Not only is it safer, but we can also confuse the others by swapping rooms. Even if anything happens tonight, you’ll be as safe as you can be.”Harvey York packed Yvonne’s things for her before the two headed toward Harvey’s room.“Hmmm?”Yvonne suddenly stood frozen in Harvey’s room. Harvey was confused.“What’s wrong?”“It’s nothing!”Yvonne was perplexed. She smelled something really pleasant, but it was something that didn’t belong to a man.It was a new house too. How could there possibly be such a good smell?After seeing Yvonne’s confused expression, Harvey burst out laughing.“What? Do you th
Be honest. You purposely showed off your No. 1 Villa to Miwa Fujihara because you wanted a popular influencer to throw herself at you, didn’t you?”“You even told her that you’re going to blacklist her! Do you want to let her take the initiative to come to you and talk about the script?!”Yvonne narrowed her eyes and walked around the room, as though she was searching for evidence of a crime.Harvey found her actions absurd. If Mandy came and tried to investigate his “criminal evidence”, then so be it. But what was Yvonne doing now?He sighed and immediately said, “Yvonne, you know me. I hate foreigners the most. How could I be interested in Miwa Fujihara?”“Don’t worry. There’s absolutely nothing between us.”“Stop causing a fuss.”Harvey knew very well that Yvonne was clear of the fact he would never get together with Miwa Fujihara.Yvonne was actually rather jealous of Miwa. However, the person herself failed to notice her own budding envy. And so, the ambiguous mood betwe
Next morning, ten o’clock sharp.Purdue Auction House was a semi-official auction organization. It was said that other than Mordu’s government officials, all the top families in Mordu had a stake in it.Simply put, this auction house represented the profit of Mordu’s entire upper class.Therefore, no one had ever dared to cause trouble in this auction house.Even powerful mob leaders from the underground kept a low profile here. If they ran into any conflict, they would quickly patch things up without much fuss.They themselves couldn’t guarantee their own safety if they acted arrogantly and stood out too much.Yvonne arrived at the auction house early in the morning. She sat at a corner, and then waited in silence.For this auction, Harvey was determined to acquire land in Lujiazui.Aside from using the land for Sky Corporation’s expansion in Mordu, another fundamental reason was that this auction could be regarded as a confrontation with Young Master Hector Thompson.Harvey
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
