Peyton Horan laughed and said, “Brother York is indeed a character. How about this? I’m very old. So, I can’t really give you many benefits.“But if you’d like, I can recommend you to work at Dragon Cell. Our branch in Mordu happens to have a vacancy for a middle-level position. If you don’t mind…”Before Peyton could finish speaking, Yvonne Xavier smiled, glanced at Harvey York, and said softly, “Just for your information, Elder Horan.“Harvey is the branch leader of Longmen, Mordu. I’m afraid he won’t be able to join the Dragon Cell…”“Branch leader of Longmen, Mordu?!” Peyton was stunned for a moment. He then sighed a while later and said, “I have long heard that Master Bauer has found a young genius to rule the branch of Longmen, Mordu, but I didn’t expect it to be you!“Moreover, he gave you the position of the branch leader.“I have such a narrow outlook!“But, Brother York, it’s not easy to hold this position, the branch leader of Longmen, Mordu.“The Shindan Way of Isla
Peyton Horan froze.“This is my father’s plaque.”“Smash it,” Harvey York exclaimed.Peyton and the bodyguards behind him were all frantically twitching their eyes.Only Harvey had the guts to smash the plaque of Peyton’s father in front of Peyton's own two eyes.But after contemplating for a long while, Peyton decided to do it himself. He grabbed the plaque and smashed it to the ground with a hesitant look on his face.Crack!With Peyton’s strength, the plaque would’ve instantly shattered. A metal shriek echoed from the plaque, and it rolled toward the corner of the ancestral hall.At the same time, thick black smoke was seeping out of the plaque, making the people nearby tremble in sight.Harvey immediately walked forward and kicked the plaque into the central courtyard.Under the beaming sunlight, more and more black smoke was seen seeping out of the plaque, showing the face of a ghost in the sky, wretchedly smiling, before it disappeared into nothing.Harvey swiftly grab
On the next day, in the afternoon, Harvey York drove his car to the Mordu International Airport’s VIP passageway and waited.After an hour had passed, the person he hoped to see still did not show up.Harvey could not help but get worried. He took out his phone to dial a familiar number.“The number you have dialed is currently unreachable. Please dial again later.”Harvey frowned after hearing the voice recording.Mandy Zimmer was usually a punctual person. Since she said that she would arrive at twelve o’clock, normally she would never be late.Harvey went to the lobby and asked about Mandy’s flight. He was informed that her flight had already arrived a little more than an hour ago.Harvey was utterly confused. He then gave Xynthia Zimmer a call while rubbing his temples.Xynthia hung up his call instantly then sent over an address.Mordu Broadway.Harvey’s eyes lit up. Ordinary people would not have that much money to spend there.Even Xynthia would rarely go to a place l
“What are you doing here?”The so-called matchmaker, Lucie Lowe, was showing an utterly horrible expression at this moment.“Do you know what occasion this is?!”“Have you thought about your own status before barging in here?!”“Get out of here right now!”Lucie completely disdained Harvey York. He was the one who sold off dozens of luxury cars that Lucie’s son had taken an interest in. After earning tens of millions of dollars, he didn’t even split some of the money with them!‘What an ingrate!‘Doesn’t he understand that there’s no way for him to earn this much money without my son’s help?!’In Lucie’s eyes, the money Harvey got from selling the luxury cars should’ve been theirs.‘Not only did he not give us the money, he even went missing for two days!‘He deserves to die!’After looking in Hector Thompson’s direction, Lilian Yates stood up, blocking Harvey’s way.“Who told you to come here, Harvey?” Lilian asked coldly.“Let me tell you right now!“The moment you robb
Lilian Yates was practically begging Harvey York at this moment.If Harvey was willing to leave, Lilian would even kneel and apologize to him to get a good “son-in-law” like Hector Thompson.Harvey chuckled after seeing Lilian jumping up and down while threatening and trying to please him all at the same time. He then shifted his gaze toward Mandy Zimmer.It had been a month or so since the two met. Mandy’s aura seemed a lot more intuitive compared to before.Maybe she had grown exponentially because she was appointed as the head of a branch.Harvey was barely able to recognize her because of her extreme change.When Mandy laid eyes on Harvey, her gaze was as cold as ice. She had no intent to talk to Harvey. She picked up her teacup and took a sip as if she had ignored Harvey entirely.Harvey was utterly speechless, and then he shifted his gaze toward Xynthia Zimmer.Xynthia gave a look as if Harvey deserved it, making him utterly dumbstruck.He realized that Xynthia might’ve
Harvey York could see that Mandy Zimmer was actually mad at him.They were fine a few days prior. Harvey had no idea why she got angry.But either way, Harvey felt like he needed to stay positive at this point.For now, Harvey’s goal was to stop the date no matter the cost.The date must not go on even if it were any other person, not just Hector Thompson.There were so many things wrong with Harvey’s own wife dating another man!Only Lilian Yates was able to arrange something heinous like this.“Great barkers don’t bite?“Are you telling me to shut up?!”Lucie Lowe pointed at Harvey with her nose.“Do you think you have the right to do so?“Who do you think you are?!“Are you a prince or a young master? How dare you try to show off in front of me?!“In my eyes, you’ve done nothing but embarrass yourself for doing things like this!“Let me tell you right now. If you weren’t standing beside us, the security guards would’ve thrown you out of the building already!“If you k
Harvey York knew how Mandy Zimmer would behave in that situation. When Harvey was about to explain himself, Hector Thompson was already walking toward everyone with his arms crossed after hanging up his call.Sparks seemed to flicker in the air when Harvey and Hector locked eyes for a moment.After seeing such a tall and handsome man with a temperament of an upperclassman, Harvey immediately understood why Lilian would be interested in her new son-in-law.She would surely benefit more from Hector than Harvey, judging from the outside.“What a small world, Sir York.”Hector squinted as he glared at Harvey, then showed a warm smile.“How have you been? I haven’t seen you since the auction.”“I’ve been good. Lujiazui’s Land H is about to be in construction soon,” replied Harvey calmly.“Speaking of which, I must thank you for this.”Hector’s eyes twitched after hearing Harvey’s words.“I’m having a date with Ms. Zimmer tonight. If you have nothing else to do, would you like to j
Harvey York, Mandy Zimmer, and Xynthia Zimmer were the only ones left in the place.Harvey quickly held his feelings back and showed Mandy a warm smile.“You still care about me after all, Mandy.”He reached out and held Mandy’s hand.It was normal for couples to fight after not seeing each other for a long while anyway.Xynthia’s face turned as dark as night after seeing the sight. She immediately pulled both their hands apart with an angry look on her face.“What?! What?! Brother-In-Law, how dare you touch my sister even before explaining anything?!” she exclaimed furiously.“Even if my sister forgives you…“I will never!”Xynthia threw a stack of documents on the table.Harvey’s eyes frantically twitched after looking at the contents.It was unknown as to who took the pictures, but most of them showed Kait Walker resting on Harvey’s chest in a car. It was an extremely dangerous situation then.But after taking that fact out of context, even anyone would think that Kait a
Blade frowned and said nothing when he heard Harvey's teasing. Not far away came the sound of spotlights being turned on. Giant spotlights immediately focused on their location from all around them, turning the place as bright as day. The Enforcer Division who just got out of the car narrowed their eyes, trying to adjust to the light."You're smart, and you're quite perceptive as well." At this time, one of the doors on the giant stone gate from not far away slid open, and dozens of figures appeared. The one leading them was a woman wearing a traditional garb, a fan in her hand.She looked like a seductress. Her eyes were filled with charm, and even just a glance from her was quite seductive. All the men and women behind her were wearing uniforms, bearing a stern expression. "Unfortunately, smart people normally don't last long here," the woman continued with a smile. Harvey shrugged. "I haven't asked you what this place is yet."The woman kept smiling. "Our place was quite
The atmosphere within the car fell into absolute silence. Blade extended his head and opened the sunroof, allowing the fresh air to enter the car. He took in the fresh air, but no one could tell his thoughts.Harvey smiled as he once again closed his eyes and rested. To him, the destination for this journey meant nothing.Very quickly, the car drove until night. During this journey, the car stopped three times. They would always rest, have a meal, and get a toilet break at a temporary supply base that had been established beforehand. Blade had maintained his silence and said nothing.As for Harvey, it was life as usual for him. He would eat when he was supposed to and sleep when he had time to. It was so that everyone could maintain their energy.Harvey even took a hot shower in one of the supply bases and got to wash his clothes. The members of the Enforcement Division that kept watch over him looked at him strangely. It was obvious it was their first time meeting a criminal lik
Blade was slightly stunned when he heard it and took in a deep breath, as if he was suppressing something he was feeling. Then, he said slowly, "The Grand City is also called the Grand City that Didn't Belong to the World. Those from the Grand City had been called many names. Wizards, alchemists, immortals… In a place like ours, we have rules and laws coming from bygone eras. After existing for so long, people from our city understand that only by following these rules and laws will we be able to protect the Grand City."Harvey smiled. "So, to you, even if you know the order you're going to execute is wrong, you'll still do it no matter the cost, right?""It's easy for one person to make a mistake," Blade said. "It's even easier for someone to make a mistake when one speculates. This is an order that was made based on the rules and regulations. The chances of it being a mistake are very low…"Even if I have some thoughts, I'd rather do as I'm ordered by Grand City. As for whether
Half an hour later, Harvey got into the back seat of a Range Rover after he packed a few sets of clothes. During this time, not only did he have to console Yvonne not to do something rash, but he also had to arrange for something else. He even had the time to order some pasta through delivery.While he still didn't know what Grand City had prepared for him, he knew that he should get ready. He had to give it his all this time. Grand City was not an opponent he could simply ignore.Once he was in the Range Rover, Harvey took the best seat that once belonged to Blade. He even adjusted the seat so he could sleep for a while.The next morning, Harvey woke up and downed a mouthful of carbonated water. He rubbed his eyes and looked around him from the car window. The car was already driving through an ancient forest. But because the car's performance was just that excellent, he felt like he had been driving on flat land.After taking a look, Harvey looked at Blade next to him. Blade's
"It's alright, Yvonne. Don't get mad. If you get angry because of something like this, then you've lost," Harvey said as he shook his head. He stopped Yvonne, who was on the verge of exploding."The people from Grand City have a way of doing things due to how they believe that they're better than everyone else. Not following their laws would ruin their reputation, so I'll go with them," Harvey said as he narrowed his eyes.He knew very well that this was a plot against him. It wasn't just about Durandal's death, it was also because he had offended Dan. The day Harvey became the representative, someone had already plotted against him. For everyone's sake, Harvey decided to make a move.While he wasn't afraid of Grand City, it didn't mean that everyone else wasn't fearless of Grand City either."Don't be rash…" Yvonne said, shivering. Harvey patted her hand a while and then looked at Blade's cold expression with great interest. "I can tell that you're not someone who lies and y
"Firearms?" Blade smiled coldly when he saw this, and looked at Yvonne with a sneer. "There's something you probably didn't know, girl. All of my followers here are martial arts elites, and they're wearing the silk armor that Grand City produced. This armor makes them untouchable by blades or the elements. If you don't do anything rash, it's fine. But if you do, your men will die. Here's my advice. Don't get all of them killed just because of one person."And then, he commanded coldly, "Do it."Eighteen elites from the Enforcement Division took a step forward when they heard his command, looking calm."I don't believe that you're not afraid of a gun!" Yvonne grabbed a gun and pointed it at Blade.However, Blade didn't react even when faced with Yvonne's madness. He simply walked over to her, held the gun in her hand, and then pointed it at his forehead. "Come on. If you don't believe it, give it a try. Pull the trigger and see if you can kill me."Yvonne's eyes widened when
"You are as well-spoken as they claim, Mr. Representative," Blade said coldly. "I wish he didn't die, since I watched him grow up. However, the fact is, he's dead. We have enough evidence to prove that you caused it. So, let's not waste our time and come with us. This is better for all of us."Yvonne's expression darkened. "Blade, is it? I don't care who you are, but my boss never lies. If he said that he didn't kill that man, then this has nothing to do with him. Don't pin the blame on someone innocent!"Blade looked at Harvey icily. "We wish that he could be innocent too. If that's the case, that's an even better reason for you to come with us. Since he's being suspected, he should come to prove his innocence at the very least."Yvonne snapped, "You think very highly of yourself! You can make anyone the suspect because you say so? You can take anyone with you because you want to? Do you know that he's also the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? In some way, he'
The security guards at the entrance finally reacted to what was happening. They started to call for reinforcements when they saw Yvonne's sportscar was stopped.The range rovers' doors were kicked open, and dozens of men and women clad in traditional Country H's garbs got out. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with a deep scar on his face. It was obvious he had survived a terrible battle against death once.He ignored all the security guards and quickly approached Harvey and Yvonne."Stop them!" Yvonne called out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Who are you? What do you want?"The security guards from Sky Corporation quickly ran over. Dozens of people had started to gather around Harvey. In terms of numbers, they were finally able at an equal level.In truth, anyone from the other side should be able to easily defeat the bodyguards from Sky Corporation. Harvey, who knew this very clearly, also opened the door and walked to Yvonne's side. He looked at th
After Harvey was done with the Ninth Branch and sent Mandy home, he left. Mandy had shown him that she cared, but there were a lot of problems between them. They didn't even have to look for it—Lilian's existence alone was a constant thorn in their eyes. Unless Lilian chose to stop being a problem, Harvey had no interest in becoming the Zimmer family's son-in-law again. After leaving the Zimmer family, Harvey wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, he went to Sky Corporation's HQ. He was surprised to see that the light in the CEO's office was still lit.Harvey arrived at the door and saw a beautiful woman still working quietly at the desk. He had just wanted to go in before hearing Yvonne's voice. It sounded like she was on a call. "Investigate it. We have to investigate this no matter what! Even if he's not going to ask about it right now, we still have to do it. What will happen if Mr. York wants to blame someone?"After that, Yvonne hung up."What happened?" Harvey asked as h
