The stewardess immediately came over to assist the woman while showing a passionate expression on her face.The woman coldly nodded before casually sitting on the backmost seat.The other passengers took a few glances before they looked away.Harvey York frowned. He sized up the fashionable woman before glancing at her bandaged hand.A hint of gunpowder could be smelled.The others may not be able to detect that, but for an experienced war veteran like Harvey, the smell was just too familiar not to miss.Harvey frowned before he stood up.He instantly left his seat before he instinctively glanced back.He was surprised that the woman did not even bat an eye at him.Harvey naturally stopped after seeing that.This meant that the fashionable woman was not specifically targeting him.A sweet-looking stewardess walked toward Harvey before she whispered, “Excuse me, the plane’s about to take off. Please return to your seat.”“If you’re going to the restroom, please hurry. You’ll
“She didn’t show me, but I could smell it,” Harvey York explained everything with a stern expression.“You could smell it?“Are you a dog or something?“Do you think your sense of smell is that good?”The stewardesses looked at each other before showing weird looks at Harvey.At this point, they thought that Harvey was just some unhinged person.“I’m giving you one last chance. Get back to your seat now, or we’ll have to throw you out!”The sweet-looking stewardess showed an arrogant look on her face.“There are a few hundred people on this plane! This isn’t a place for you to screw around!“It doesn’t matter if you bought a first-class ticket!“If your nose is that good at smelling, why don’t you guess what perfume I’m using right now?” exclaimed the heart-shaped stewardess coldly.Harvey looked at the stewardesses before looking at the nameplates on their chests.“You. Shelby Cobb. You had a milk bath last night. You’re using Chanel’s No.5 perfume, but you’re thrifty enou
The woman on the ground was then thoroughly searched by another woman with an instrument.The woman frowned at that.Other than a purse and a phone, there was nothing suspicious at all.She quickly looked for the woman again.Even when said woman’s feet were laid bare, nothing was found.She looked at a middle-aged man before shaking her head with a gloomy expression.The man’s expression changed slightly. Then, he screamed, “Jemma! Shelby! Do you want to die?!”“Didn’t you say that there was C4 on this woman?”“We didn’t find a single thing!”“How are you supposed to take responsibility for offending a first-class passenger like this?”Shelby and Jemma walked over, looking pale. Normally speaking, they would be rewarded hundreds and thousands of dollars for such a heroic act…And yet, what happened?Nothing was found, and everything turned into some random joke.Both the police and the airline company would surely fire them both in order to make amends.“I’m sorry, Ins
The woman with a black shirt looked curiously at Harvey; her exquisite face was filled with doubt.Naturally, she could already tell that Harvey was no ordinary person. That was why she wanted to hear his explanation.“Just because you can’t find it, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.”“Some things are hidden right under your nose.”Harvey casually poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.“You airport police are so unprofessional.”“If I was your chief, I would’ve fired every single one of you in an instant!”“You searched everywhere, but you never considered the one place easy enough to sneak in a C4!”Harvey splashed his tea right on the woman’s broken hand.“Aaagh!”Having been scorched by hot water, the woman screamed in pain.“What do you think you’re doing, you b*stard?!” she furiously exclaimed.“My arm’s broken! What can you even look for here?!”“You think I really have C4 on me?!”“Do you honestly think I’m really just going to take you all down with me?!”
The inspectors all looked at each other, unsure of what to say.The woman was right, after all.Harvey squinted at her again, and said, “You having a plaster isn’t illegal, but mixing diatomite sure is.”Harvey slowly poured the tea in his hand on the plaster.The woman’s face worsened by the second.“Diatomite is a special material. It has two uses: it can be applied for medicine, or act as the creation of C4.”“All you need to detonate diatomite is a simple yet common conductor: alcohol.”“As long as there’s strong alcohol like white wine or vodka, diatomite can easily be used as an explosive!”“The explosion is pretty terrifying, too.”“In theory, the diatomite in your plaster would be able to split the entire plane in half.”“And once an explosion like this goes off in the air…”“Everyone here would be dead without a doubt!”“Even God won’t be able to save us!”Harvey told a stewardess to open the emergency exit, and threw a speck of plaster dust outside along with a s
Harvey had an odd look when he saw the sight.When the woman died before saying those words, he couldn’t help but reevaluate the woman in a black shirt again.It would be better not to go against the woman. If not, he wouldn’t even know how he’d die.At the same time, Harvey had a few guesses as to who the woman was.With such an immense status and a superb assassination technique; as well as her surname…The woman’s identity was basically out of the bag at this point.That said, Harvey didn’t bother exposing her since he had no grudges against her.As for the dead woman, Harvey had no interest in her whatsoever.Since he wasn’t her target, he couldn’t be bothered to look into the dead.The middle-aged inspector then asked Harvey to make a simple report.Harvey only wanted to get to the Golden Sands, so he gave the two stewardesses the credit.Shelby carefully explained the situation, but Jemma immediately refuted it.Harvey looked curiously at Jemma; he didn’t understand h
In their eyes, Harvey had without question tainted Kairi.Harvey smiled at their reactions, and calmly let go of Kairi’s hand.Even so, a hint of her fragrance was still lingering between his fingertips.Kairi smiled.“No matter the reason, you managed to deal with a dangerous crisis.”“If you didn’t, even if she doesn’t get to kill me, many innocents would be dragged into this.”“I’d be blamed for the innocents instead.”Kairi flashed him a dreamy smile.“No matter the perspective, I owe you a huge favor.”“From now on, you’re my friend! Let me know whatever you need from me. I’ll do anything in my power to help!”“It’s cliche to say something like this, but I really mean it.”“Even if I’m gone, you can bring my name card to my father or…fiance…”Kairi pulled out a card before putting it in Harvey’s hand.“They’ll do everything they can to help.”Harvey held the exquisite-looking card; it had been carved from a special type of wood. There was only a name and a number on
A few hours later, the plane landed at the Golden Sands International Airport. The entire time, neither Harvey nor Kairi said a word. Harvey and Kairi walked in the VIP passageway together as if they were a couple. The bodyguards behind Kairi all had gloomy looks as they watched.The two soon reached the exit. Kairi flashed Harvey a friendly smile.“Where are you going next? I can get you there if you’d like.”Harvey shook his head.“No need. I already told my wife about my arrival when I boarded the plane.”“She’ll come pick me up later.”“Your wife?”Kairi froze; then, she instinctively looked at Harvey’s ring finger.There was no ring on it.Harvey smiled when he saw the look on Kairi’s face.“Maybe ex-wife is a more appropriate title. I’m just a discarded man at this point.”Kairi smiled at Harvey; she seemed a lot more interested in Harvey now.“That doesn’t matter. If you give me a call, I’ll help you any way I can in the Golden Sands!”“Come! Let’s hug it out as a
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
After hearing what Harvey had to say, everyone exchanged glances. Lune and Sol were very experienced, and they quickly zoomed into the video recording and started to check the details. After carefully scanning it, everyone noticed Neve's action was extremely mechanical, and her eyes were completely blank. Even her actions activating the Rainstorm Needles were extremely puppetlike.When Neve saw this, she was shocked. "How can I fall under someone else's control like this? I'm trained in Servitas' school of martial arts, and it demands extremely high mental mastery. How can I fall into someone's control so easily? Not to mention that one doesn't have to use the Six-Paths Fragrance to control me, right? But most importantly… I've never fallen for someone's mind control until Harvey appeared… Could it be that it's you who are controlling me?" Neve immediately turned to look at Harvey, looking vigilant.Harvey rolled his eyes. "What's the point of me doing that?""So you can get my gran
"Stop! Everyone, stop!" When Lune and Sol saw what was happening, they were stunned and stopped right before Harvey. They knew Geoffrey's condition, so they were very sure that it was Geoffrey's inner demon going wild just now."Drop all your Rainstorm Needles right now! We can decide everything once Mr. Geoffrey is awake!" Lune ordered the men and quickly checked the mobile that was already set up nearby, wanting to see what was happening."Are you stupid, Lune? Didn't you see that my grandpa is almost dead because of him? Sol, stop them right now! Do it! Kill Harvey! Kill whoever dares to stop you!" Neve screamed, on the verge of a breakdown.The dozens of security guards exchanged glances and hesitated and did not dare move when they saw how chaotic it was in the study."We'll see who's behind this right now!" Lune had already grabbed the phone, and he immediately projected what the phone had recorded onto the wide-screen TV in the study.Soon, they all saw how Neve appeared at
Harvey instinctively kicked Geoffrey's chair when he narrowed his eyes, looking at what was happening. There was a bang, and the chair fell to the ground. The silver needles from the Rainstorm Needles flew past where the two of them were just moments ago, striking the big desk.Instantly, a big hole appeared on the desk, and corrosive liquid flowed out. It was terrifying. However, Neve blankly raised her right hand. Just as Harvey was about to make his move, Geoffrey appeared right before Neve and grabbed her right hand tightly, his expression brutal."How dare you… I have raised you for twenty years! And now, you want to kill me? Time to die!" As Geoffrey said that, he moved Neve's arm and aimed the Rainstorm Needles in her sleeve right on her own forehead.Harvey blinked, and he instantly knew what was happening.Because of Neve's assault, the inner demon within Geoffrey clawed its way out. Geoffrey had already lost control. Meanwhile, Neve started to regain some clarity from the
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
