Ellen Moreno was a little worried. She knew that her mother despised people like Harvey York…But she was the one who dragged him here in the first place.It was extremely disrespectful of Noemi Moreno to leave Harvey like this.That said, Ellen had no way to speak up on an occasion like this.After ten minutes or so, the conversation finally ended.Noemi showed a faint smile when she glanced at Harvey. After looking at the Cartier Balloon Bleu watch on her wrist, she squinted at Harvey with a playful look.A few others glanced at him with disdainful and arrogant gazes as well.“I managed to figure out my body’s problem because of you last time.“I’ll properly thank you for that,” thanked Noemi calmly.She was acting as if her lungs failing was not that big of a problem in the first place.This was only natural. With her family’s status, it would not be hard for her to be properly treated as long as she did not stress herself.She thought that Harvey only got lucky. She also
After looking at Noemi Moreno’s faint smile, the card with a hint of fragrance, and the people around showing playful expressions…Harvey York merely chuckled.He was only brought here to be broken up with Ellen Moreno.That said, he had no intention of being together with her.The two only became friends out of pure coincidence.He only came here to thank Ellen for everything she had done for the past few days.Harvey was planning to thank Noemi in person. He was just about to tell Ray Hart to treat her nicely as well…But after seeing such a horrible attitude, he could not help but frown.In reality, Harvey did not mind Noemi’s words at all. After all, he and Ellen were not couples in the first place. All he needed to do was to explain the entire situation.That said, he was in a bad mood when she saw Noemi’s expression, as if she was trying to tell off some kept man.Right when he turned around, Ellen immediately got angry!She stood up and tenderly held Harvey’s hand.“
“You need to listen, Ellen!”“Even if you do your best to pull someone like this into our circle…”“He’s still completely out of place! The smell of medicine on him will only make everyone stay away!”“Your mother, along with the entire family, will become the South Sea’s biggest joke because of your recklessness!”“Even if you don’t care about your family, at least think of your mother!”“She already has a hard time within the family. You’re making it harder for her if you do something like this, aren’t you?”After seeing Ellen Moreno’s helpless look, a third person jumped in before coldly glaring at Harvey York.“I’m sure you know yourself enough, kid.“We can pay you some respect and support your business. We’ll buy fifteen thousand dollars worth of your goods for our dogs to use…“But don’t even think you can be in our league just by selling some medicine!“There are some things that you own since birth!“And there are things you can never have your entire life!“Do you
“I’m saying this not because I’m desperately trying to get together with Ellen.”“She may be your daughter, but she’s also a living being.”“She has her own life.”“She has the right to choose how she lives.”“If you want me to leave, then so be it.”“However, only if Ellen wants the same.”“I’m not leaving if she’s not saying anything.”“She was the one who got me here in the first place; not you, and not the others either!”Harvey showed a calm expression when he stood up for Ellen.Judging from Noemi’s behavior, he knew that she had a strong desire for control.If this were to continue, Ellen’s life would be completely ruined.As a friend, Harvey knew that he had to give Noemi a warning.He didn’t care about anything else then.Ellen had an odd expression when she looked at Harvey; her heart instantly skipped a beat.She didn’t think Harvey would care for her this much to stand up for her.He didn’t even stand down against her mother, an extremely prominent figure.E
Ellen couldn’t even speak up after hearing her mother’s words.She knew those words weren’t just nonsense.In the first place, she was only throwing a fit for saying that she wanted to be with Harvey.After seeing the look on Ellen’s face, Noemi knew that Ellen was swayed.Thus, she wanted to go all out and make sure that Harvey’s will was thoroughly crushed.“He doesn’t even know how to use a knife and fork, let alone live with you for the rest of your life!”“How could you hope to stay with him when he doesn’t even have common knowledge?”“Are you planning to eat roasted sweet potatoes with a savage like him forever?”“Are you sure you can handle that?”Ellen remained silent; she knew full well that her lifestyle was completely different than Harvey’s.She wouldn’t be able to handle eating the same thing for the rest of her life.At this moment, an elderly blonde man with well-kempt hair in a tuxedo pushed out a tray.Steaming hot iron plates were placed in front of Noemi
Finley paused in his tracks when he heard Harvey’s words.‘I’ll die if she eats it?’Noemi and the others were frightened; they instinctively looked at the egg in front of them with a wary gaze.‘Mr. Finley’s dish can kill?’‘How is that possible?’After the initial shock, the people quickly came to their senses; they thought Harvey was just trying to scare them to get more attention.“What are you even saying?!”“Do you know who Mr. Finley is? He’s the royal chef of the Empire! The head chefs of the royal family are all his students!”“And yet, you’re saying that his dishes are going to kill?!”“Not only are you slandering Mr. Finley’s abilities, you’re also slandering the entire royal family of the Empire!”“Do you think you’re some big character when you’re just a country bumpkin?!”“You talk like you know everything! Have you ever seen a truffle? Do you even know what caviar is?”“Kneel and apologize! If not, you’ll have to crawl your way out of here!”A few people sta
“Slander?”Harvey looked calmly at Finley, unperturbed by the scorn he was facing.“These are Truffled Eggs of the royal family, yes?”Finley frowned.“That’s right.”Harvey took a step forward.“The ingredients I pointed out are all correct too, right?”Finley’s eyes twitched.“That’s right. Only I know this dish. Nobody else would know what’s in it, other than the people who ate it!”Noemi and the others froze; they looked at Harvey with odd expressions.‘Did this country bumpkin actually have this dish before?’‘He’s just a country bumpkin, though! Maybe he’s attended the Empire’s banquets before…’Ellen’s eyes lit up; she was certain Harvey probably had another identity.“You’re pretty impressive, young man.”Finley called himself down after pondering for a moment.“That said, you still have to apologize.”“Is that so?” Harvey replied casually.“I admit, you’re pretty capable if you can recognize this dish that well.”Finley crossed his arms with a distant look on
Ellen couldn’t hold back her feelings any longer.“You should really apologize, Harvey. Don’t anger Mr. Finley!” she exclaimed after a moment’s hesitation. “You won’t get another chance later!”Noemi couldn’t help but shoot a deathly glare at Ellen; she thought her daughter was completely blind for helping Harvey.Finley was a bit angry as well; he believed he had already given the young man in front of him another chance, and yet…Harvey clearly didn’t know how to cherish it.Once again, Harvey smiled.“Mr. Finley, your Truffled Eggs should be ingested in three minutes as soon as the lids are opened, right?”“That’s right. The taste is the most mysterious at that timing,” Finley replied coldly.“You say that, but it’s actually not as mysterious as it seems.”“The egg would explode in the mouth, and everything inside would then turn powder-like without any chewing. This is the refreshing and unique taste you were talking about, right?”Finley froze; he couldn’t believe what
As the gigantic fireball flew straight toward Harvey, he could feel that even the humidity in the air had completely evaporated. The scent of scorching heat permeated the air. Harvey retreated again and again. With every step he took, he would kick a few pieces of rocks right at the fireball, trying to make the fireball collapse on itself.Thud! Thud! Thud!The ball of fire that was rolling toward Harvey exploded before it could get close to him in the end due to the surging of the air currents. However, all the surrounding plant life had been scorched into dust by the powerful heatwave, as if someone had detonated an explosion in the scene.Harvey's eyes narrowed when he saw what had happened. This technique had already surpassed what one would normally call martial arts. It was bordering close to fantasy. It was the first time Harvey saw a killing technique like this.And so, Harvey retreated once more and maintained a safe distance between himself and Ghostface before looking cu
Clang!The dagger instantly shattered into pieces and shot out in all directions. Some even sliced century-old trees in half. After shattering the dagger, Harvey's fist did not stop. It continued to crash forward inevitably, surrounded with aura.Ghostface's expression immediately changed, and a ghost mask instantly appeared on his face, his aura once again strengthening.Crack!But before his aura could reach his height, a crack appeared on the ghost mask, which was cut into two. With Harvey suppressing Ghostface's aura, his ace in the hole was completely useless and meaningless."Impossible…" Ghostface muttered as he could feel the cold sweat on his skin and the hairs on his arm standing up. He continuously hurled all kinds of weapons with his hands. Daggers and darts were thrown repeatedly, and his figure kept retreating backward, wanting to stop the attack with everything at his disposal.Clang!The sounds of metal being shattered rang again. His resistance was futile. In th
Whoosh!As one of the most outstanding elites among the Origin Ninjas, Ghostface had always been extremely decisive in his actions. Before he had even finished speaking with Harvey, a dagger had already appeared in his hand. His figure flickered, and the dagger went straight for Harvey.Harvey whipped his right hand out, as if he was already expecting Ghostface would ambush him, and a branch from a tree that he took parried Ghostface's dagger.Clang!As their weapons clashed with each other, a loud clang rang. Harvey's figure wavered a little bit while Ghostface's figure was flung into the air, and he landed where he started.Ghostface was shocked that Harvey could deflect his ambush with just a tree branch. With a cold smile on his face, the aura around him became even more intense. While Harvey was quite powerful, he himself was not that weak either. Those who had reached this stage had an indomitable fighting spirit.Harvey was also quite surprised when he saw Ghostface's batt
This moment caused Djinn's expression to twist in shock as he instinctively took half a step backward. The dread on his face was obvious. Who could expect that the attack he put all his might… An attack that was so terrifying did nothing at all.Before Djinn could regain his footing, the Swarm Queen's figure moved again, and the blade in her hand slashed.Djinn's figure paused as his footsteps froze, and fear spread in his eyes. That was because the Swarm Queen's blue blade had already pierced into his chest.Spurt!Fresh blood spurt out from his wound. However, the blood was not scarlet red, but a brilliant blue…"You…" Djinn's expression twisted when he saw what happened. He was not suffering… He could not even feel the pain. Then, his body slowly began to sway before crumpling on the ground. His life was slowly being drained away.Djinn seemed to remember something.He blew his final breath and said, "You… You're Belladonna Cult's Guardian… The cult's most powerful ace…"-
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
