In the evening, Harvey York had left the office and drove his Porsche to fetch Rosalie Naiswell.Rosalie was as giddy as a little girl with ice cream when she got on the front passenger seat. She thought that Harvey would only go fetch her with an electric bike, she even prepared herself to force a smile on the bike. She did not think that he would drive a Porsche here.This meant that Harvey must really value Rosalie, right?“What are you laughing at?”Harvey was confused. A woman’s mind is so complex, it changes so frequently when it wants to.Rosalie looked out the window and smiled. “Nothing. I just wanted to smile. Got a problem?”“No problem at all! You’re the young lady of the Naiswells. Not just in Niumhi, even in all of South Light, you can do whatever you want.” Harvey York said.Harvey did not say those words for flattery. Despite the Naiswells not being able to control all of Niumhi just yet, their authority was still extraordinary.“Then let’s go shopping. When I
Rosalie Naiswell did not recognize the two. She looked at them for a while and then nodded.“Oh, it’s you guys. We haven’t even met after graduating university, what a coincidence seeing you guys in Niumhi.”Ria Ferguson smiled and walked toward Rosalie while trampling on her high heels, then gave her the elevator eyes.“I know, right? What a small world we live in!”Ria’s husband had tried to pursue Rosalie during their time in university. Naturally, she would have hostility toward Rosalie at that moment.Ria took a thorough look at Harvey York and laughed. “Rosalie, I heard that the Naiswells didn’t have a man worthy enough to inherit the family business this generation and that you’re planning to find a live-in son-in-law.”“The man in front of me isn’t really who you picked, yes?”“If you ask for my opinion, there were plenty of fish in the sea during your time in university. Why pick such a poor wretch?”“But fair enough, only people like this would be someone else’s liv
“Wha—”A few store clerks were perplexed.That was a Platinum Card!This thing could not be compared to the Amex Black Card, but was also a symbol of identity and status. People that do own this card were said to have assets worth thousands.There were no more than a hundred of those in all of Niumhi.After a moment of shock, the store clerk bowed in front of him and said, “This respectful gentleman. With this card, we are able to sell the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ to you.”Their voices weren’t that audible, but people from nearby jewelry stores looked toward their direction anyway. They did not think that a limited edition product like the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ would be sold out already a few days after release.After hearing this, Owen Hawkins arrogantly looked and smiled at Rosalie Naiswell.“Rosalie, you should at least have some standards in looking for a man. You can’t just simply find a man and expect him to buy you a necklace like this.”Ria Ferguson clung onto her husband’s arm,
Ria Ferguson laughed coldly.“Oh, Rosalie Naiswell. I remember you saying during university that you would find yourself a Prince Charming in the future.”“And then what happened? How are you not embarrassed taking a kept man that’s using your money to go shopping with you?”Rosalie looked at Ria with an expression as cold as ice and then shook her head.“Harvey, don’t let these people ruin our date. Let’s go, leave the necklace.”Harvey York nodded. He was only there to shop with Rosalie, there was no need to cause such a big trouble. He turned his body, ready to leave.Owen Hawkins chuckled.“This so-called Amex Black Card is also fake, I assume?”“I heard that a fake Amex Black Card only costs you twenty five dollars. The appearance of the card looks real too, am I really this lucky to be able to encounter a thing like this?”Harvey took his card back and glanced at Owen.“Even if it is fake, what’s it got to do with you?”“I just can’t stand people posing around even tho
Rosalie Naiswell shook her head constantly.She did like the necklace, but the price was too much to handle.Not just the live-in son-in-law, Harvey York, even she could not bring that much cash at that time.Rosalie pulled Harvey out of the jewelry store.Harvey smiled without saying a word, he knew that Rosalie really liked the necklace.The necklace was indeed expensive, but the price was nothing to Harvey. He’d thought to just buy it behind her back then give it to her later.While the two were talking, Owen Hawkins and Ria Ferguson walked right toward them.Ria seemed to forget the embarrassment that she had endured before and then hypocritically said, “Oh Rosalie, it must be fate that we’re able to bump into each other in Niumhi. Why don’t we find a spot to talk together?”Ever since Ria married Owen, the only thing she resented him for was the time when he tried to pursue Rosalie during their time in university.Now that the opportunity had arisen to strike a few more b
Seeing that Harvey York was slightly annoyed by what had happened, the manager would not dare to spout any more nonsense and kept nodding.“Yes! Of course!”The store clerks quickly packed up the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ and respectfully handed it over to Harvey.There was a store clerk that was slightly more beautiful than the others that kept sending eye signals to Harvey and even unconsciously touching his hand.Harvey did not even bat an eye.A few minutes later, Harvey brought a boutique box back to the place he was before.At that moment, those three were still having a conversation.But Rosalie Naiswell did not even want to speak with the other two. She had only stayed reluctantly to give face to the Hawkins family in Mordu.At that moment, Harvey smiled and walked up to Rosalie with the box and gave it to her.“You’re leaving tomorrow. Here’s a little token of appreciation for you, I’ll welcome you the next time you come to Niumhi as a guest!”Rosalie felt delighted. For Har
‘Let alone this kept man, even Rosalie Naiswell could not come up with eight million dollars at once to buy a necklace!’‘This must be stolen!’‘No wonder this kept man insisted Rosalie to open the gift box after she had returned home because he was afraid of being discovered!Owen Hawkins sneered and looked over at Rosalie. “You’d never know, Rosalie. Your taste in men is truly indescribable. Even now, you are having a crush on a thief?”“But you’re quite skillful in stealing! In just a few minutes, you could already get eight million dollars! Amazing!”Rosalie’s face turned frigid. She said coldly, “Owen, let me warn you, watch your tongue! You better stop talking nonsense.”“Nonsense? Me?” Owen laughed out loud.He then clapped his hands and said loudly, “Everyone, come and have a look! Someone has stolen something! A necklace worth eight million dollars was stolen. This is more exciting than a movie! Don’t let him run away!”Owen’s announcement caused a hubbub…A group of
There was a murmur spread through the crowd. Rosalie Naiswell slightly frowned.She could not get through with those ordinary people about the value of antique watches. After all, people who did not deal with antiques could not understand the value of such things.Rosalie looked at Owen Hawkins and said while thinking of this, “Owen, you are from the Hawkins of Mordu. Can’t you see that Harvey’s watch is real? He can wear watches worth hundreds of million dollars casually. Do you think that he will steal a necklace worth a few million dollars? Can you stop looking for trouble here?”“Is it worth hundreds of millions?” Owen sneered, “If it’s a legendary watch, it is indeed worth hundreds of millions. But for a fake watch, it’s already quite good if it’s worth dozens of dollars!”“Rosalie, you the Naiswells run an antique business. Don’t try to defend a thief and ruin the reputation of the Naiswells. Master Naiswell will not let you go by then!”“You…” Rosalie was helpless at this t
"Enough. There's no point staying here. This place is cold and lifeless. Let's return to Wolsing. We can have something hot together. I also have something I want to talk with you about," Samuel said as he patted Harvey's shoulder. Then, Samuel wanted to take Harvey with him."Nah," Harvey suddenly said. "I need to send Mandy back home first. Maybe over a cup of tea with milk to warm her body and stop her from shaking. We can go out another time."Everyone was stunned after they heard what Harvey had just said. How could Harvey reject an invitation from someone important like Samuel? Just… Who was he?But before they could even recover, Neve suddenly grabbed a hand crossbow from one of her followers and pointed it toward Harvey. It was clear that she was still upset. The madness on her face was tinged by vengefulness and pain as she shouted, "I know you're more important than any of us, Mr. Samuel! I know someone like you can ignore all the laws in this world! But where's justice in
It was obvious that Lanny had no choice but to say that. Since if she did not do that, not only would she ruin the Bennett family's reputation, but the entire Grand City's reputation would also be tarnished.""Oh, right. You're called Lanny? And you're threatening me with your predecessor? Are you from White Peak by any chance?" Samuel asked curiously.Lanny gritted her teeth and replied, "That's right. I'm from White Peak, one of the Seven Families of Grand City."Samuel smirked and said, "I have dueled Ares Bennett three times, and he lost to me three times. If I wanted to, I could have slain him immediately the last time if I wanted to. That's why Ares has to call me Mr. Samuel whenever he sees me on the street and listens to me. You're just a greenhorn from White Peak… And you're pretending to be something special before me?"Samuel did not bother showing Lanny any respect. "Not to mention, everyone here has a good head on their shoulders. What really happened and what the trut
"It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Samuel!" said Lanny with a darkened expression."But just now, I heard something about fighting to the last man, and there were so many weapons being used here that were targeted against martial artists. Are you telling me there's a misunderstanding? Do I look like a fool?" Samuel gave a cold smile and waved his hand.A formless wave of energy instantly rolled against Lanny's men. Lanny and the others were shocked and used everything they could to block this attack, which took them by surprise.But it was useless.In just an instant, all the Grand City's youths did everything they could, but all of them had to take three steps back as they coughed out a mouthful of blood.Some distance away, some men with longbows and crossbows also grunted as they fell to the ground.In just a simple attack, the Forbidden Wasteland's defenses instantly crumbled.Perhaps this was what they meant by invincibility.No one from Grand City dared stand beside Harvey
The man who came wore a white robe with a cold expression. He looked around and spoke clearly, "I heard someone say my young master has committed murder. I'm here to see if any evidence and witnesses are saying so. If I find any of them are fake, I'll slay those and their families who claim so!"He said it casually, like an old man making a comment while sweeping the streets. However, everyone here could feel their heart skipping a beat.There was only silence.Even Ethan's gaze froze for a moment. That was because he sensed an aura from the old man, which was extremely close to the chief instructor.He was an elite!As for the rest of those from Grand City, they were all stunned. The old man was able to hover in the air. This could only be done when one had become one with nature! Could it be that other elites who were not from the Grand City had reached the same level?Even Lanny, who boasted that a great power supported her, could not help but watch, her expression pale and in
"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E
"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?
Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
