“Harvey York… Why is a worthless piece of trash like you here?” Wyatt Johnson snarled.Harvey got cut off by Tyson before he could even open his mouth. “Sir York is my boss, disrespect him again and I’ll make sure you never walk again!”Wyatt froze. That worthless trash was someone’s boss? ‘How is this possible? Is this some sort of sick joke? Were these people hired by Harvey to act and scare us?’Wyatt leaped to his feet furiously and pointed at Harvey.“Some sort of live-in son-in-law you are! How dare you get people to scare us?! Do you know who I am? I’m the CEO of York Enterprise! The Zimmer family will go bankrupt because of you tomorrow! You’ll pay for this!”Cecilia also stood up and glared at Harvey. “I’ll tell Mandy all about this and make her throw you out of the family—you won’t even have a spot to beg for food.”After seeing Harvey, Wyatt and Cecilia naturally regained their egos tenfold.In their eyes, Harvey was nothing but a live-in son-in-law—anybody could step
At that moment, Cecilia was sitting on the ground, frozen in shock. The woman had always been vain, so she was a bit aware of the situation.‘Harvey York really was their boss. Wasn’t the one in the lead respectful towards him too? How is that possible? He’s just a worthless live-in son-in-law!’‘For the past three years, whenever I would go to Mandy’s house, this piece of filth would always be washing feet or the restroom. I could even tell the filth to wash my dirty shoes and socks that I didn’t want to wash. But… I can’t believe that he’s a gangster boss…’This incident had really shocked Cecilia. Now that she knew his identity, would Harvey end her life here?Cecilia was terrified for her life. These people that lived on the streets were cruel and brutal—if they really wanted to do something, nobody would even know if she suddenly disappeared.“Harvey… Sir York…” Cecilia kneeled in front of Harvey and hugged his legs, sobbing hysterically. “I was wrong… I was truly wrong…” C
At the CEO’s office.Yvonne Xavier and Wendy Sorrell were both seated quietly. When they heard the door being pushed open, they stood up at the same time.Standing before them was an old woman. Yvonne and Wendy were both a little nervous as the woman’s aura was quite intimidating. Her stern presence was not like any normal person's, and dominated the entire room.Yvonne who came from an established background was frozen to the spot, while Wendy who was from a normal family did not dare say a word.Thea York glared at Yvonne and Wendy. The CEO's secretaries were quite cute; no wonder her kept man, Wyatt Johnson, did not come back home last night.“Who are you? This is the CEO’s office. How can you just casually walk in?” Yvonne calmed herself down and asked, raising an eyebrow.Thea eyed Yvonne disdainfully. “What right does a lil’ b*tch like you have to ask who I am? Ask your CEO to come out and see me!”When Yvonne heard her words, her brows furrowed. What had happened in the p
“I don’t know what rubbish your man is made of but don’t you worry, I’ve no interest in competing with a dominatrix!” Although Yvonne’s lips were bleeding from the beating, she did not hold back.At that moment, Wendy Sorrell knew she had to step in, or Yvonne might be beaten to death right there and then. She did not dare fight back, and could only rush toward Yvonne and stand in front of her. She said lightly, “Miss Xavier, please don’t say anymore. Let’s wait for the CEO to return. You cannot always bear the burden by yourself, he’s the CEO, after all…”“You’re protecting her and yet you claim that you’re not snatching my man away?” Thea York laughed frostily then turned to look at Wendy. “You kneel down too, you lil’ pig, or else I’ll teach you a lesson too!”Wendy felt conflicted, but when she saw Yvonne in pain, she had no choice but to kneel. If she continued to be stubborn, she would end up like Yvonne.Thea was very pleased to see the two women who had snatched her man aw
“Do you think that you’re in the capital?” Harvey York spoke icily. “Do you think that this place is just like the York family where you can play tricks and bully others?”“Oh? Isn’t it?” Thea York’s eyes were brimming with contempt. “Even if this is not the city, you’re just trash that’s being thrown away by the family. Do you think that you can win against me?”Harvey glanced at her bodyguards and scoffed, “Do you think that this rubbish you brought here can beat me?”Thea mocked, “Harvey, I heard that you’ve become the live-in son-in-law of some Zimmer family. Don’t blame me for not warning you. If you dare make a move, I’ll make the whole Zimmer family pay for your sins!”“Also, since you’re still alive, I would like to say this to your face: York Enterprise belongs to me. This is my present to that dog of mine. If you dare walk in here next time, I’ll make other people break both your legs!”Her dog?Yvonne Xavier and Wendy Sorrell looked at each other. They seemed to unders
“Are you wondering why I have such skills?” Harvey smirked.Thea York was shocked to the core and collapsed on the sofa in a disheveled heap. Her breathing quickened as she asked, “How could this be?”“It’s simple, really. If I didn’t have these skills, I would not only have been driven out three years ago, I would be dead. Do you understand?” Harvey said slowly.Thea’s eyes widened. She had not known why Harvey had managed to stay alive three years ago, but now she knew.The York family would usually kill an abandoned heir, without a doubt. Why would they allow him to be a live-in son-in-law? It was a hidden danger for them.However, this abandoned heir could not be properly dealt with. Could the York family not even take his life?Under these circumstances, would the family not have planted a trap at the very least?“Harvey… I admit that I looked down on you. However, so what if you have some skills? In this age, we don’t look at great fighting skills anymore. No matter how st
Harvey York smiled cruelly as he grabbed Wyatt Johnson’s neck, lifting him up with one hand. He snarled softly, “Do you not understand the situation? Do you think that this old b*tch can really protect you?” Harvey flung him away roughly.Thud!Two of Wyatt’s teeth fell out, and he squealed like a pig who was being slaughtered. However, this was the CEO’s exclusive floor. No one else was around aside from them.Thea York’s heart clenched at the sight, and she quickly tugged on Harvey’s arm. “Let go of him, Harvey. He is my precious sweetheart. If you dare hurt him, I’ll make sure that you’ll end up not having a body to bury!”Harvey kicked her and Thea was sent crashing to the ground. However, Thea refused to give up. She hugged Harvey’s calf and held on. “Let go of him! Let go of him!”Harvey smiled frostily. He loosened his left hand and hit Wyatt’s belly with his fist.Wyatt wailed loudly, his whole body curled up like a fetus. He was in such excruciating pain that sweat cov
Wyatt Johnson was her kept man. He had been ruthlessly tortured by Thea for the past few days until he had turned haggard. He did not even dare to raise his voice in front of her, how could he lay a finger on her now?However, if he did not hit her, Tyson Woods would beat her to a pulp.“Your strength must be to Yvonne Xavier’s satisfaction. If she’s not happy with it, then we do not count that slap. You’ll need to take note of that when you beat her,” Harvey York casually reminded Wyatt.Wyatt trembled as he stood up. He looked at Harvey, then turned to Thea. He could not bear to hit her after he had raised his hand.Thea closed her eyes and yelled, “Wyatt, if you dare let me be hit a second time, I’ll abandon you!”Wyatt gritted his teeth. He had been her kept man for so long. He sucked up to this old woman and allowed her to disgrace him. He had lost his dignity long ago, but a fire had been lit in his heart for the past two days.He gritted his teeth and slapped her. Slap!
"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
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
