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
At eight o’clock, the appreciation banquet of Mordu’s Longmen branch had officially started. The people that gathered outside were entering the hall in an orderly fashion.Hazel Malone and her family took a few deep breaths and composed themselves from the shock.After all, a kept man was simply not worth their time.That night, the most important event was to meet the talented young man, the branch leader himself.That man was at the peak of all big characters within Mordu’s Longmen branch and among the new upstart of Mordu’s upper social circle.If the family could get that man’s attention and be in his good graces, the family’s benefits would be beyond their wildest imagination.Hazel had regained her pride entirely after thinking about this.She was excited, hoping that her life would turn around when she would get noticed by the branch leader.After Harvey York and Kait Walker came into the main venue, they went inside the changing room and got Harvey changed into a suit t
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
