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
Harvey York was indifferent, facing Max Truscott and Steven Walker’s arrogance and menace.“If you don’t step away now, you might not get another chance later.”The entire crowd trembled after hearing those words.Even Hazel Malone and the others gasped in shock while looking at Harvey.That was Max Truscott himself!The legendary Brother Max!His status within Mordu’s Longmen branch was extremely high! If he wanted to trample on someone, it would be no different than kicking a dead dog!People like him were true rich playboys!Max was well-known because he would dare to mess with people from the upper social circle!Because of his extraordinary fighting skills, even Justin Walker would stand up for him quite often.Max had no other weakness other than being a little too rash, making him unsuitable for big events.In cases where he was enraged, he would take it upon himself to deal with the person who angered him.“I might not get another chance, you say?”As expected, Max
“You…”Max Truscott covered his face as he showed a wretched expression.Justin Walker was indeed quite fond of him, but he could not even compare to Eugene Bowie.He never thought that Eugene, who usually didn’t meddle with other people’s affairs, would be this ruthless at this moment.Steven Walker’s menacing look on his face had immediately lost all color.His jaw completely dropped while seeing such a sight. He didn’t expect that Justin’s two Great Generals would have a huge fight because of Harvey York.And besides, Eugene even addressed Harvey as “Sir York”!Was he even worthy?Steven was gritting his teeth full of rage at that moment.He didn’t understand why it was that difficult to deal with Harvey, but he wouldn’t dare mention it to anyone.He knew that if he said anything wrong, his face would be the one to get slapped to the ground.Max’s face had completely darkened.“You’ve crossed the line, Eugene!” bellowed Max furiously.“Do you think I’m scared of you?!”
“You…”Max Truscott’s expression frantically changed. He didn’t expect that Eugene Bowie would even namedrop Justin Walker just to protect Harvey York.Maybe Harvey had an unspeakable identity?Perhaps Max went up against someone out of his league?He turned to Steven Walker, who stood on the side, without a second thought.Steven frantically changed expressions.“Brother Max, this kid really is just a live-in son-in-law! Previously, he was an office worker in my department!“If he had a strong background, why would he even do something like this?”June Lee immediately nodded in agreement.“Don’t you worry, Brother Max. I can prove his identity as well. Besides, he’s not even a live-in son-in-law after getting kicked out by his wife! He’s just filth!”‘Filth?!‘Why would Eugene call some filth “Sir York”?!’Max had a bad feeling about this.Even an idiot like Eugene would never slap Max’s face and stand up for some filth without a valid reason.He wanted to do a quick bac
“You really don’t know what’s best for you, Harvey York?“Brother Max Truscott gave you respect for Brother Eugene Bowie’s sake and decided not to argue with you!“And yet you still don’t know when to quit?”Before Max could even speak, June Lee walked forward with a cold expression while squinting at Harvey.“Hurry and apologize to Brother Max! He’ll let you off the hook if you do!“If he gets angry, you won’t get a second chance!”June felt righteous at this moment, as if she was the one trying to save Harvey!At first, she was ready to make fun of Harvey.But because of Eugene, not only was Harvey saved from embarrassment, even Max was slapped across the face!June felt resentful because of it.In her eyes, nobodies like Harvey were only capable of getting trampled all over.What right did he have to fight back? What could he possibly do to rebel?When Harvey kept provoking Max, June had the urge to rip his face apart.After all, she couldn’t stand Harvey flaunting some
“What a handsome young talent you are, Max Truscott!“You can cripple Sir York with just one hand, you say?“Impressive! Truly impressive!“But have you first asked for my permission?”A voice echoed from outside the crowd.The entire crowd froze while turning their heads toward the direction of the sound.It was Kait Walker, the vice branch leader’s baby girl.Kait was currently in charge of Walker Corporation. Her status was immensely higher compared to Justin Walker.Many men were drooling on sight when they saw Kait clothed in a traditional dress.Her face that looked like a beautiful painting, along with the aura of a female CEO, had made quite a few women ashamed of themselves in her presence.June Lee and the others naturally knew who Kait was. As soon as she walked out, their eyes were all frantically twitching.“Welcome, Ms. Walker!”Max swiftly bowed while his eyes twitched.“Ms. Walker!”No matter how powerful Max was, he wouldn’t even dare to flex his strength
Once Harvey was at the Dragon Gate training hall, he narrowed his eyes.A huge crowd was right outside the entrance of the training hall. He counted at least a thousand of them with just a glance.They were all either martial arts elites or mutants. None of them were normal human beings.Of course, these people were mostly here to watch the show.There were also plenty of Islander men and women in their traditional summer garbs. All of them looked quite eager. Harvey could tell from first glance that they were either from Sky Plane or had the right to enter Grand City due to being at the top of the social pyramid in the Island Nation. All of them were filled with anger and resentment after Harvey chided them as weaklings. They were here to try and reclaim their dignity.When Harvey appeared, all of them instantly turned around. The anger within their eyes is apparent."Harvey York! Are you sure you want to go your own way? You're quite brave to challenge the entire Island Natio
"Dominating the Veiled Sanctuary?" Harvey asked Alexei curiously.Alexei scoffed. "Many years ago, a prodigy was born in the Veiled Sanctuary. He was said to be just a servant born into a small family. However, his powers grew exponentially after he accidentally learned martial arts."He became a King of Arms when he was 18, and then a True Warrior at 22. After that, he secretly stole the martial arts techniques from all the schools and mastered them. Finally, when he was 30 years old, he created his own martial art technique that had never appeared in the Veiled Sanctuary—the Technique of Elephants and Dragons."It's said that those trained in this technique can possess the power of ten elephants and ten dragons. They can forcefully tear apart space itself and step into the void, reaching unity between Man and Nature. Unfortunately, he has too little influence in Veiled Sanctuary. He stole too many secrets from the different schools, causing him to offend the higher-ups."In the
"Of course, only people from Grand City are supporting him. Whether it was Sky Plane, Sky Garden, Lost City, or the other locations, everyone criticized Harvey. They believed that we should have peace with all the other Sacred Lands. Harvey's existence would only cause fights between all of us."But the so-called peace from these Sacred Lands were only maintained because they were able to benefit from Grand City. Once Harvey's here and becomes mayor, the other Sacred Lands won't be able to get used to it," Geoffrey said.He was obviously quite pleased with this.For a long time, Grand City needed someone who could take control of the big picture. One of the reasons the E-A Battlefield occurred in the past was because the mayor went missing, and all the other Sacred Lands believed they could take advantage of this situation. That was why the five nations had worked together at the time.Luckily, the Chief Instructor was there at the time. He helped them defeat all their enemies and
When Harvey remembered that Vaida was schizophrenic, he suppressed the discomfort inside of him and smiled. "Ms. Vaida, why didn't you go back to rest? Isn't it boring to be at my place?"Vaida opened the door leading to the dining room. "I don't feel bored at all. I've been cooking for you the entire day. Since you're the man of my destiny, I'm simply doing what I'm supposed to, aren't I?"Cough!Harvey couldn't stop himself from coughing before saying, "Thanks, then.""That won't do, Senior Vaida! We grew up together and have known each other for almost two decades. You've never cooked for me. What's this, then? Do I really have no place in your heart?" Alexei said, almost to the point of crying and rolling on the ground.Vaida shot him a disappointed look. "Oh, you! Look at yourself. Are you acting like a man? I'm not expecting you to become an important person, but even if you're set on being someone spoiled rotten, can you at least be like a proper one? I heard that when I
With just a simple move, the Islander swordsman screamed in pain and crashed to the ground. He didn't even have the chance to spar with Harvey.An Islander wrestler immediately rushed out of the crowd. "I dare you to try me, Harvey!" Harvey calmly kicked a chair at the wrestler, who didn't even manage to enter the door before collapsing on the ground."Fool!""Die!"One by one, the Island Nation's elites attacked, but none of them could pass through the entrance into the training hall before collapsing.Harvey's technique was indeed very terrifying. What Harvey did without exerting much effort turned all the Islanders' excitement into despair. All the Islanders that had collapsed had some reputation in Grand City. But now, they were nothing before Harvey.Meanwhile, those from Country H were overjoyed. Many of them started to go around and spread the good news throughout Grand City.Harvey's reputation had spread in Grand City. A lot of people knew that the representative of
"All you Islanders are always acting so arrogantly in our territory. You'll sneer at us, calling us weaklings every now and then. Now, we simply stated the fact that you're weaklings too—and you find it hard to accept? Don't you understand that you should treat others how you like to be treated? If you're not weaklings before him, what are you then? Feces?"Hale shouted at the Islanders fearlessly, feeling refreshed as he did it. He seemed to have suffered a lot at the hands of Sky Plane, so he didn't hold back when he started his speech. It was enough to make the Islanders hear it go mad.However, Hale wasn't scared at all. Instead, he pointed at the Islanders and went on, "Yapping of sore losers."The Islander with the mustache almost went crazy. "Do you know what you're doing? You're trying to start a war! Can you bear this responsibility?"The other Islanders also joined in; all of them called for war, as if that would be enough to threaten Harvey. However, Hale didn't even b
Harvey couldn't tell what Hale was up to by borrowing his influence, but he knew very well that what he needed to do right now was to liven Grand City up. It would be best if he could cause a wave. Only then would he have the opportunity to achieve his goals.That was why he didn't stop Hale, despite not knowing what Hale was up to. Instead, Harvey let Hale do as he wanted.Hale took a deep breath. His eyes carried a meaningful gaze as he looked at Harvey, and he said with a dry smile, "What I'm going to do is to be quite intense, but I believe you can take it."Harvey chuckled. "Is it the kind that I prefer?""I don't know if you'll like it, but I believe you won't hate it," Hale said.Harvey clapped. "Sure. Let me see just how much of a ruckus your method that I won't hate will cause in Grand City!"Hale didn't waste his breath and grabbed a white piece of cloth and started painting something. Then, he immediately put it at the entrance of the training hall. As soon as the clot
There was cheer from the crowd when they saw how Harvey could easily defeat those from the Sky Plane and win back the pride of Grand City and the people from Country H.At this time, a middle-aged man, somewhat short and plump, approached Harvey with admiration on his face. "The way you fight is brilliant, friend. Most importantly, you managed to defeat the haughty Islanders without any trouble. Simply brilliant! You've won all our admiration!""That's right!" The people in the crowd all nodded, the admiration on their faces clear.It was said that amateurs watch the show for excitement, while the experts grasp the details. However, the people who formed the crowd this time were mostly martial arts elites. They understood just how powerful Harvey was from how he easily defeated Kuro, Mikan, and the other Islanders."It doesn't matter whether I earn your admiration or not," Harvey said with a faint smile as he entered the training hall. "Since you're not my training hall's student
In that instant, all the elites from Origin Fist could only gasp. They didn't know how to react when they saw what happened. Normally, once Harvey gave Kuro the chance to turn the table around, Kuro should have the advantage.But the result?Kuro was being stepped on, and he didn't even have the power to resist. Before Harvey's strength, he was just too weak."Not only can't you fight, but you're also making me very disappointed," Harvey said as he squatted and patted Kuro's face. It was a simple action, but it was enough to humiliate Kuro completely."Stop wasting time here, kid. I acknowledge that I've been careless, and I acknowledge that I'm not as skilled as you. I surrender!" The expression on Kuro's face was one of stubbornness. "If you can, kill me! I'm telling you, even if I die, the Origin Fist will never let you go! No matter who you are, you'll die in the hands of Origin Fist! If I die, your whole family will die with you!""How naïve," Harvey said with a smile. In t
