Kelly Malone seemed quite hesitant as he said those words.On the other hand, June Lee was squinting at Harvey with a playful look on her face.“You don’t have to deny it. Your mother-in-law joined the Fragrant Hill villa owner group already. She told us everything there!“She’s even trying to arrange a marriage for her two daughters! This is outrageous!”Utter disdain was showing on June’s face.Harvey took everyone to visit the number one villa before, humiliating the entire family.But then the truth was right in front of everyone. Losers would always be losers. June was in an excellent mood then.Hazel Malone sighed in secret.A scornful smirk leaked out of Steven Walker’s face as if Harvey’s true identity was exposed entirely. He was exhilarated.Harvey rubbed his temples. He did not intend to explain the situation.After all, judging from Lilian’s behavior, she must’ve gone to every single villa in Fragrant Hill already.There was no use explaining with such a big rumo
Hazel Malone showed a peculiar look in her eyes. She seemed a little reluctant, but still, she forced out a warm smile.“Thank you for your support, Young Master Walker.”She wasn’t very fond of Steven Walker, and she even picked Garry Duncan over him previously. But after a while, she realized that the so-called Mixed Martial Arts Champion was nothing more than a joke.Compared to him, the rich heir who put a lot of effort into Hazel, Steven, was the better choice.Under June Lee’s insistence, Hazel was ready to accept Steven when he showed up at the Malone family’s house with invitations to the appreciation banquet.As for Harvey York, Hazel could not care less about him.Harvey was clinging onto Yvonne previously. Then, he got kicked out right after his wife arrived.How could someone like this even begin to compare to Steven?They were like night and day!Steven took a sip of his tea after he was done smoking.“All in a day’s work. Please don’t mind all of this, Hazel. We
June Lee squinted while pointing at Harvey York with her nose.“You’re not going to say that you’re the branch leader himself, are you? Do you think you could send us those invitations? Are you even worthy?“And you claim that you’re Mr. Tycoon himself? Do you know how much money Young Master Walker donated to Hazel Malone?“Three million dollars!“You can’t even make this much money your entire life! How dare you call yourself Mr. Tycoon?!“What are you even thinking?!“Let me tell you. Don’t try to act smart in the future, and stop showing off about things you didn’t do!“Even though we’re family friends, you already completely tarnished the relationship!“Don’t you dare say that you have relations with my family ever again! You’re simply unworthy!”Kelly Malone wanted to say something, but he stopped himself in the end.June was right. People like Harvey liked to stand out from the crowd, and he was the kind of person that would take credit for someone else’s achievements.
Naturally, June Lee still thought Harvey York was showing off, yet pretending to be someone he wasn’t.Harvey sighed. He decided to give Hazel Malone one last chance.“Hazel, even though we have gone through a lot of unpleasant memories together, we can at least stay as friends, right?“Are you sure you want to break all ties between us?”“We’re both cut from a different cloth anyway! My father was the one forcing me to get along with you in the first place…“We should just let bygones be bygones!”“Fine. Since the entire family wants this, I’ll forget about this so-called marriage proposal,” replied Harvey calmly.“Good. At least you’re still quite sensible…” responded June without a hint of remorse.“Third, from today onward, you’re fired from the Kaizen Group! Young Master Walker doesn’t want you working there anymore!“If you really want to stay in Mordu and flourish, you must rely on your own strength!“Hazel and I won’t be helping you anymore!“I hope that you won’t co
“Do you think the family wants anything to do with you?”June Lee seemed rather impatient.“I already told you. Just sign the letter, and we’ll have nothing to do with each other!“Just treat the money as your mental anguish fee!“You have no idea, do you? Ever since your mother-in-law texted in the villa owner’s group, I was terrified that you’d keep nagging my family even when I’m sleeping!“You even had to ask the waiter to come to a small place like this! You couldn’t even get in on your own!“Our family’s going to Mordu’s classiest banquet today…“There’s such a huge gap between us, and yet you dare say that we want something to do with you? Are you shameless?“You talk like you’re actually rich and influential, as if you can help my family!“Are you even worthy of having relations with us?“If you didn’t fool the old man to bring over some filth like you here, do you think we even want anything to do with you?!”Naturally, all those words came from June’s heart. If it
All the big characters were yet to arrive since it wasn’t time for the banquet.On the other hand, ordinary guests were all located outside, socializing while waiting for the banquet to start.Since Harvey York came early, he couldn’t find anyone he knew just yet. While he was walking around, Kelly Malone’s family and Steven Walker noticed him.“Bastard!”“This bastard!”“Why is he here?”June Lee’s expression turned horrible in an instant.“How can he be this shameless?!“Is he trying to get inside with the family’s name?!”Kelly still felt a little guilty earlier, but rage had completely replaced that feeling then.“What a disappointment!” Kelly exclaimed coldly.Naturally, Kelly and the others thought that Harvey only knew about the appreciation banquet because of their afternoon talk.That was why Harvey was trying to take advantage of the situation!Hazel Malone frowned. The guilt in her heart had completely disappeared then.When Harvey ignored the family about to h
June Lee’s expression was filled with utter disdain while she sized up Harvey York.“Oh my! Our dear Sir York is also here to attend the appreciation banquet of Mordu’s Longmen branch?“You’re just a jobless kept in live-in son-in-law! How can you even be here in the first place? What right do you have even to attend?“Do you really think that we don’t know what you’re capable of?“Is there even a need for roleplaying here?“If you aren’t standing with us right now like actual guests, you would’ve been thrown out of the place by now!“Do you believe that we can get you kicked out with just a single word?!”Naturally, June was already quite disgusted by Harvey’s honest look on his face. He was a kept man with no talent whatsoever, but he acted as though he was the king of the world!Was he even worthy?!Kelly Malone could not even bother interacting with Harvey any longer. He wanted this ignorant man to experience the harsh reality of society on his own.In Kelly’s eyes, there
Not too far away, Kelly Malone did not have the heart to watch the sight, so he swiftly looked away.On the other hand, June Lee was showing a playful expression on her face, looking intently with a faint smile on her face.Since Steven Walker decided to trample on Harvey York, nobody would stop him.In Kelly and June’s eyes, Steven might just become their dear son-in-law.Since that was the case, it was clear as day whose side they were on.Even though Steven wasn’t the one taking action, Max Truscott was only second to Aiden Bauer within Mordu’s Longmen branch. It would be a piece of cake for Harvey to end up dead!Hazel Malone let out a huge sigh. She was utterly disappointed with Harvey’s actions.‘Oh, Harvey. You’re just an insignificant character. If you keep forcing yourself into this world that you don’t belong in…‘You of all people should know the consequences.‘Don’t you realize your limits? Why are you still pretending like you’re attending the banquet?’“Step asi
Jackson's eyes narrowed when he heard what Clarion had said, but he said nothing else. He gave Harvey an apologetic smile and then ordered his men to temporarily take Harvey into the prison at the back. While it was nothing more than symbolism, Blade knew that Clarion simply wanted to use this chance to disgust Harvey.Just when Harvey was going to be taken away, Clarion pulled out his mobile and dialed a number. Shortly after, the door was once again kicked open with a bang.Then, Durandal's companions appeared with anguished expressions. They were led by a long-haired man and a woman in a face mask. Once they entered the courtroom, the woman removed her mask. She was so sorrowful as if her husband had passed away.As for that long-haired man, while he had lost a finger and had his hand bandaged, there was a malevolent aura coming from him."Mandy! How could you kill my fiance?! I'll kill you!" The woman was instantly filled with rage the moment she saw Mandy. She immediately ran
Shortly, Blade escorted Harvey through the door made of rock. They followed the staircase down and into an underground area. It was quite spacious down there, and it was probably formed naturally. Plenty of man-made structures were built within the underground space.However, these buildings must be at least hundreds of years old. The lights added afterward suggest this was some kind of underground city.Harvey was quickly dragged to a place that looked like an ancient court. There was a sign board saying "Justice" on top, and three different kinds of guillotines were placed there. Bronze, silver, and gold. The ground under the guillotine seemed to be dark from the color of dried blood. One could faint by just watching the dried blood.It was obvious that countless people had died under these guillotines in the past few centuries. Harvey was unfazed by them. Instead, he found a bench and sat down, enjoying the sights of his surroundings.Those who were informed would know that he w
After a long while, Harvey sighed and said, "If that's the case, can you let me see the original files and conversation with the nurse? I also wanted to know just what kind of evidence the people from the Forbidden Wasteland believed was real."When Lanny heard Harvey's request, she coldly replied, "I'm sorry. But we haven't reached that part of the procedure yet. We know that you might be someone at the True Warrior level. It would be easy for an elite like you to assassinate or mislead someone. That's why, before we can confirm their safety, we won't show you any of the evidence or witness."Harvey shrugged. "I do have the power of a True Warrior. If I wanted to, I could easily kill everyone standing here.""I know," Lanny answered coldly. "But will you? No one is an island in this world. If you do that, all your friends and family will die because of you. Grand City will also categorize you as the most dangerous criminal and will do everything we can to kill you."You know all o
Durandal had to be dead. There was no mistake about it. And this had nothing to do with Parkerville and Grand City. They also found incriminating evidence regarding Harvey's "attack" on Durandal and the evidence fit.Who were the ones who wanted to target Harvey that badly? And why? Why did they want to make him an enemy of Grand City?Harvey's expression was severe as he thought about that. Could Evermore be behind this despite not appearing for so long? If that was true, what relationship did Evermore and Grand City have?Harvey glanced at Lanny when he was thinking about those questions and said, "Whether it is your Enforcement Division or the Forbidden Wasteland, all of you are smart people. None of you are fools. Can you really not see that there is someone else interfering with this? Or have you already seen it but didn't want to admit it and tried to kill me using this opportunity? "As long as you're not the one setting me up, after you killed me, you'll then cry a tear of
To Lanny, as long as the city could convict Harvey, he would become someone she could do whatever she wanted to him. That was why she was in no rush. She could make Harvey regret ever getting born once he was convicted since there was no need for her to drag herself into this, even if she wanted to kill Harvey."Prosecute me?" Harvey could not help but laugh when he saw how Lanny looked like that was how he would end. "I can leave here openly in less than 24 hours. I wonder how you'll look afterward.""Do you want to leave? Dream on." Lanny glared coldly at Harvey. "I'm going to show you the evidence that will damn you. In the hospital where Durandal was killed, we found security footage. In that footage, it clearly showed you killing Durandal and the entire process… It even got your face. A young nurse in the hospital could also prove that you were the one who killed him."In short, we had both witnesses and evidence. Harvey, I understand what you were thinking. Did you believe we
"Fool!" Lanny's expression became even darker after hearing Harvey's words. In Grand City, she was akin to a goddess. Countless people wanted to pursue her romantically. But Harvey said that she belonged to the streets? That was not something she would stand for!The moment that thought crossed her mind, Lanny cried, "Slap him! Slap him until he can't speak!"All the men and women behind Lanny prepared to put their firearms on Harvey's head once they heard Lanny's orders. Some of them even pulled up their sleeves. It was obvious that they wanted to slap Harvey. And from the looks of it, they would not stop until Harvey's face was swollen.Looking at the scene, Harvey did not care much and simply looked at Lanny with intrigue. He was thinking that if Lanny's men touched him, then he would have a good reason to slap her pretty face into oblivion. While he would not usually hit women, some liked to cross the line.Blade suddenly stepped forward despite his silence when he saw how both
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
