Harvey York frowned.“The lord of the family too?”Queenie York shook her head.“My father would never agree to this.“After all, married daughters are lost forever. Once the marriage between Jason and I goes through, I’ll have to give up my authority within the family once and for all…“But since the cost of canceling the marriage is too high, Grandma York would surely refuse.“My father would always respect his elders…”Queenie was worried. She knew that this would be hard to deal with.“This time, the marriage will most likely go through.“Wealthy families have no feelings toward each other. Besides, I’m just an adopted daughter.”Harvey frowned.“Judging from the current situation, you might not be their target. Instead, they might be going for Lord York,” said Harvey calmly.“Lord York is using you to keep Vince York down.“Vince is then taking drastic measures to get Jason Leo back.“What a great plan!”Queenie froze slightly after hearing Harvey’s words before gri
Aurora Parker, Durin’s well-known celebrity, was revealed to have a green card of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets!At the same time, she also uploaded quite a popular video.The contents of the video were simple. Aurora was shamelessly praising The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Harvey York clicked on the video and saw Aurora in traditional clothing while showing her beautiful face on screen.The celebrity, who became famous because of Durin, fluently spoke in The Empire’s language while showing a warm smile.“Recently, fans have been asking me why I decided to get a green card from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.“This is what I tell everyone.“To smell a breath of freedom.“Five days ago, when I stepped out of the plane…“I prepared five masks and was about to wear one.”“But when I took a breath of air there…“I left my mask!“The air here is filled with freedom! It was just refreshing!“This strange luxury is what brought me to get the green card!”A
A few bodyguards in black suits stopped Harvey York and Queenie York in their path with serious expressions.A few couples and tourists were stopped as well.In front of the bodyguards, a woman in a white uniform coldly glanced at Harvey and the other.“Miss Parker is dining right now. None of you may enter.“Because of you people, her mood might get affected.“When she’s all done, you people may enter only then.”Those bossy words were filled with utter righteousness, as if she was used to doing those things.Harvey sized up the group of people and calmly asked, “Are you the boss or the manager here?”“Neither,” replied the woman coldly after hearing Harvey’s question.“So, did Miss Parker book out the entire restaurant?” Harvey questioned curiously.“Are you braindead or something?“Don’t you know that we’d need at least hundreds and thousands of dollars to do that?!“Do you think we’re idiots?!”The woman in white stared at Harvey, as if he was a clown.“We’re not payi
Queenie York showed no emotion at that time.“I’m giving you one whole minute. If you don’t get out of my restaurant right now, I’ll get security to throw you out of here!” exclaimed Queenie coldly.“Aaaaaah!”The woman in white was sent flying before she fell to the ground while she covered her face with a horrible expression.A bright red palm print was clearly showing on her beautiful face, completely ruining it. It was quite a miserable sight.She froze while covering her face, then stood up in a fit of rage.“You b*tch! Do you know who I am?!“Do you have a death wish or something?!”Slap!Queenie swung the back of her palm across the woman’s face once again.The woman fell to the ground and struggled for quite a while before getting back up again.This time, there were two palm prints on the woman’s face. Her face was as swollen as a pig when she showed a wretched expression.Queenie looked at the sight and calmly reasoned, “If I’m being blocked off by some outsider i
Even though the woman in white knew she could not go against Queenie York, she could not bear to take the humiliation.At that moment, she gritted her teeth while showing a resentful look.“Even if you’re the lady of the family, you can’t just hit people as you please!“There are laws here in Hong Kong!“I’ll call the cops right now!”“Laws, you say?”Queenie walked forward with a cold expression before swinging her palm forward.Slap!“When I reason with you, you come at me with power.”Slap!“But when I fight back, you try to reason with me?!”Slap!“How are you this shameless?! Are you planning to take advantage of the entire world until you’re satisfied?!”After slapping the woman around a few times, Queenie glanced at the restaurant manager, who was trotting toward her.“The customer didn’t book the entire restaurant, nor were there any orders from the higher-ups, but you still let her hog the entire place and chase the customers away like that?” exclaimed Queenie co
Harvey York looked at the fierce woman full of interest and recognized her as the woman he saw on Durin in the morning.She was the woman who got the green card for The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets and complained on Durin about the lack of fresh air and freedom in Country H, Aurora Parker herself.Harvey squinted after seeing her show up. He felt a little pity, thinking that the world was so small.Harvey was fully prepared to make Yvonne Xavier blacklist this woman. She then showed up before him while making such a big ruckus.“Miss York, right? This is a little inappropriate, isn’t it?”Aurora seemed quite stern. She did not give in even after hearing about Queenie York’s identity.She squinted with her long and narrow eyes at Queenie and coldly exclaimed, “No matter what, I’m still a customer here.“Yet, you dare hit my manager and throw us out of here?“Is this what you people are capable of?“This is your so-called advocacy on courtesy?“Do you know who you’re talki
“I’ll ask you one thing, can you take responsibility for your words?“You should know that some words are quite hard to take back.”Aurora showed a righteous look while she took a step forward, bossily.“When you’re done insulting The Empire, come back for me.“An internet-famous celebrity with millions of followers like me eating in your restaurant will not only boost your name. It’ll even turn this place into a hotspot.“I’m already kind enough not to ask for an endorsement fee.“So what if I occupy your restaurant for a little while?“As for stopping your other customers…“There’s just no other choice! I have too many fans here!“If I don’t keep them away, what if everyone pretends to be a customer here while they come to take pictures and ask for my signature?! How am I supposed to eat in peace?!“Even if they’re not my fans, I’m paying them my respect for making them wait while I have my meal.“They’re extremely blessed, and that’s why they have the right to wait for me
Naturally, Aurora Parker knew full well about Queenie York and Jason Leo’s matter. She also knew Mateo Leo showed up in Hong Kong for Queenie to give in.In Aurora’s eyes, Queenie would eventually become Jason’s plaything before she was kicked out of the Yorks of Hong Kong.Because of this, she felt that she had no need to be scared of Queenie.She even felt right bossing Queenie around, thinking that she was being nice enough to be giving her lessons.Queenie showed a cold expression while looking at her Van Cleef watch on her wrist.“I’ll give you another ten seconds. If you don’t get out on your own, then I’ll get someone to throw you out.”After seeing Jason’s plaything still headstrong after all that talk, Aurora was boiling with unbridled rage.She pointed at Queenie’s nose and furiously screamed, “Are you sure you want to go against me, Queenie?!”“Do you think I’m no match against you?” replied Queenie calmly.Aurora coldly chuckled.“My resources are all from Country
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
