After making such a huge fuss about everything, Harvey finally turned around and looked at Eden.He let out a sigh. “You don’t have the right to duel me.”“Forget about it.”“Think this through.”The bustling training hall was instantly dead silent.Everyone was completely shocked as they looked at Harvey, thinking that he was the world’s biggest idiot.Eden was from one of the South Sea’s great families; he had been trained by the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance since he was a child. Out of the younger generation, he was quite the capable fighter.Even ordinary disciples from the organization were no match for him.‘How dare this country bumpkin even talk to Eden like that?!’‘Who gave him the courage?’Eden froze as well; he had seen a lot of show-offs in his life, but it was rare for him to see someone acting as pompous as Harvey.People who didn’t know would think that Harvey was actually capable of something.Valery couldn’t help but chuckle disdainfully.“You re
Harvey remained emotionless, while Eden was filled with baseless confidence.On the other hand, Ellen quickly held Harvey back.“Don’t fight him! You’re no match against him!” she whispered.To Ellen, Harvey was completely inferior compared to Eden.Eden was the Cobb family’s young master, after all; it would be as easy as drinking water for him to take out an outsider like Harvey.Ellen was planning to use Harvey to rile up Eden, but she didn’t want to get Harvey into trouble either.“What? You only know how to hide behind women now? You’ve spent too much time being kept, I see…”“You don’t even have the balls to step up!”Eden had a disdainful look when he saw Ellen trying to protect Harvey“No wonder people from the Island Nations keep looking down on your people!”“I can see that now!”Harvey’s gaze turned cold after hearing those words.He raised his head before glaring at Eden, who was acting all high and mighty, with narrowed eyes.“You shouldn’t spout nonsense like
Eden crawled off the ground while covering his face, pointing an accusatory finger at Harvey.“H-How dare you sneak up on me like that?!” he screamed through gritted teeth.“You’re shameless!”Slap!Harvey calmly swung his palm forward.“Well? This doesn’t count as sneaking up on you anymore, right?”Slap!“You’re actually challenging me when you’re this bad?”Slap!“I told you you have no right to fight me. Why didn’t you believe me in the first place?”Slap!“You have no right to insult my country with such standards!”“You’re not even worthy!”“I told you to kneel! Don’t you understand me?!”Harvey kept relentlessly insulting Eden while slapping the latter around like a ragdoll.Eden rolled around the training hall in circles before slamming into the weapons rack in the corner.A lot of the weapons fell right onto him soon after, hitting him repeatedly. It was a horrible sight.Valery, along with the other young masters and wealthy ladies, were bewildered; they all
“You shouldn’t be that reckless, Harvey.”After seeing Eden’s bright red neck, Ellen was heartbroken; she couldn’t help but chide Harvey angrily.“Eden’s a young master who’s used to being pampered. He isn’t like you; you’re used to things like this since you were a kid.”“You almost killed him just now. You were being too harsh on him!”Harvey smiled calmly.“He insulted my country and took action first. I only defended myself.”“So what if he did? He wasn’t insulting you! That doesn’t even matter!”“Besides, you were the one who provoked him and said that he wasn’t worthy to fight you!”“Eden wouldn’t say things like that if that wasn’t the case.”“He’s been living a pampered life; he’s used to everyone spoiling him! He only got a little reckless after you challenged him! That was why he did and said those things!”“He isn’t what you think he is…”“So you’re saying it was my fault?”Harvey sighed. He was staring at a woman who had finally lost herself.“You’re saying tha
“I’m fine, Ellen. I almost died, and my face and neck are hurting like Hell!”Eden was actual scum; he could clearly tell that Ellen was getting soft.He didn’t keep going against Harvey; instead, he used the opportunity to hold onto Ellen’s soft hand with a miserable look.“Did you know? All this pain is still nothing compared to the pain of losing you!”“If you forgive me, I’d be willing to get beaten to death or crippled, let alone endure this kind of pain!”“You’re extremely important to me!”Eden’s acting was immaculate.“Please give me another chance, Ellen!” he exclaimed.“My brother challenged that man for you even though he knew that he was a savage, Ellen!” Valery added quickly.“He still gave his all to fight, even if he knew that he was going to lose! Can’t you see how brave he is?”“Look at him!”“My brother’s been pampered his entire life!”“And yet, he was willing to give up his life just for you! Are you still not going to forgive him after this?”“A man is
Harvey looked at Ellen’s miserable expression, and nodded.None of this mattered to him, anyway.Ellen let out a sigh of relief after receiving Harvey’s answer.“I’m happy I got to know you, Harvey,” she said seriously.“I’m thankful you’ve been by my side as well.”“That said, I still want to be together with Eden.”She then walked toward Eden before putting on the Pigeon Egg Ring, a faint smile on her face.“If you do anything out of hand from now on, Eden, then don’t blame me for what happens next!”She then leaned into Eden’s arms with a fulfilled expression.“I got it!” Eden cried.“I’ll do everything my princess says!”Eden completely ignored the pain on his face before sweeping Ellen off the ground and kissing her cheeks.He then glared at Harvey, as if he had already won.‘Why’s a kept man like him trying to go against the young master of the Cobb family?’‘What a joke!’‘Doesn’t he know his limits?’Eden was planning to slap Harvey around to vent his anger afte
“Leave! We don’t welcome you here!”Eden had a prideful look when he saw Harvey’s “miserable” expression.“For Ellen’s sake, I’ll let you off the hook for now!”“That said, don’t blame me for what happens tomorrow!”Harvey glanced at Ellen without saying a word; he wasn’t going to go after Eden for her sake, but…If Eden was going to cause more trouble, Harvey wouldn’t mind dealing with Eden.“Harvey, wait!”When Harvey was about to leave, Ellen remembered something important.She waved her hand to gather the crowd. There was a brief hesitation on her face, but it was soon replaced with determination.“Eden’s my boyfriend. You’re a good friend of mine, Harvey, and so is Katy!”“I know you and Katy don’t think too well of the Cobb family. I know you’re planning to open up your business to go against them when they’re celebrating their anniversary.”“I know that you gave Katy the original formula for the Cobb family’s Silver Elixir, too…”“But for my sake, can you settle this
Harvey calmly rejected Eden’s offer.After hearing the obedient man daring to fight back…Ellen’s exquisite face darkened, and she frowned.She gritted her teeth and shouted at Harvey.“Since you’re being so heartless, Harvey! Fine… Since you won’t pay me any respect, then don’t blame me for what happens next!”“You won’t be getting the office building or my company’s help anymore!”“Tell your people to take everything away tomorrow—no, right now!”“I’ll smash up the entire place too! You won’t get anything from me!”“After all, I have to help my boyfriend and my future family. I can’t side with an enemy!”‘Take everything away?’‘Smash up the entire place?’Harvey stopped in his tracks, and shot Ellen a mystified look. After everything he had done for her, he thought she wouldn’t come to this…And yet, immediately after getting back together with Eden, she said all that without hesitation.Harvey smiled faintly at her. “Are you sure you want me to do that?”“Are you su
