The most awkward of them all were clearly Westin and his sister.They were filled with utter fear and anger, as if they were slapped in the face by the crowd; they wanted to say something, but they couldn’t even utter a single word.Westin was the son of Deepsky Corporation’s chairman. He believed that he was being romantic to prepare such a big show for the woman he loved…Yet, what happened?Not only did he fail to trample on Harvey, he got utterly humiliated as soon as the Heart of Sky was revealed.“Hmph! You think that’s a lot of money?!”Harley, however, refused to admit defeat; she gritted her teeth and glared furiously at Harvey.“That’s nothing for my brother!”“His pocket money’s worth more than that!”“That amount must be worth your entire life savings though, right?”“Maybe you stole the necklace!”“Do you have anything else worth showing?”Harley spoke up as if she regained her courage.At this moment, a waiter quickly walked in and said, “Whoever’s car that i
Harvey was completely speechless.“You need to believe me, Xynthia. I got both the car and the necklace accidentally.”“Someone gave these to me as an apology.”“You don’t have to explain, Harvey. I won’t get angry just because you got these for my sister.”“It’s about to be you guys’ anniversary, after all.”“It’s only natural to get her a big gift before getting remarried!”Xynthia felt her head aching for no reason.She took off the necklace before she unwillingly put it back inside the box and set it on the armrest.Harvey froze.“What are you doing?”“What do you mean, what am I doing?”Xynthia scoffed.“Give this back to my sister! I’ll borrow my brother-in-law every once in a while, but I can’t just take my sister’s stuff!”“I love this a lot, but I can’t hurt my sister like this…”Xynthia hesitated.She wished Harvey actually bought the necklace for her…But she knew that she wasn’t the main character—she was just a girl hiding in someone else’s shadows.Harvey
The woman looked around her before crying in a teary voice, “Can someone please help me?!”“My grandfather’s stuck inside!”The elderly person had a horrible look on his face. The steel frame of the Mercedes started to creak as well.Everyone could tell that the person would be squashed inside as soon as the steel frame snapped.Not even 911 would be able to help.The people around stopped taking pictures after hearing the woman’s cries; they felt extremely guilty about it.A few wanted to help, but they started to hesitate before deciding to stay.Everyone could tell that the person was either rich or powerful; it’d be good if they could save him…But if they couldn’t, it’d be bad once they get themselves dragged into the situation.Creak!A horrible shriek came from the steel frame. It looked like it was about to give in at any moment.The elderly person inside grunted in pain, blood seeping out of his mouth.The woman started to panic as soon as they saw the sight.She
“I won’t be able to live with myself if I don’t save him now.”Harvey York showed a gentle smile.Xynthia Zimmer froze before heaving a huge sigh.After all, her favorite brother-in-law was that kind of person.Without a second thought, she let go of his hand.Harvey stepped out from the crowd.“Are you here to save my grandfather, kind sir?”The woman saw Harvey’s scrawny physique and thought he could not save anyone…But she was terribly desperate. She did not have another choice.“If you can get my grandfather out, I’ll give you a hundred and fifty thousand dollars right now!Harvey quickly strode to the car.The smell of fuel completely filled the entire place. The car had been completely crushed as well.Half of the man’s body was wedged under the car. He completely passed out because of all the pain. It was as if his insides were being squished at this very moment.Harvey quickly held the car’s steel frame in place as he pulled the man’s clothes, trying to drag him o
Harvey York did not want to get involved any longer, but he could not bear the sight of the old man suffering.After pondering about it for a while, he said to the woman, “There’s something terrible in your grandfather.“You only got into this accident because of this.“I suggest that you go…“Something bad?The woman was completely enraged.“You were trying to kill my grandfather just for some money!“How dare you say something like that just to get yourself out of the situation?!“I’ll beat the crap out of you if you keep spouting nonsense like this!”The woman became angrier by the moment before she swung her palm forward.Tap!The slap did not land on Harvey’s face.Xynthia Zimmer instantly raised her hand to block the attack.“My brother-in-law’s just being nice, lady!“He was the only one to stand up and help! It’s already bad enough that you’re not grateful, but you’re even trying to hit him?!“You can call the cops if you really think his actions caused your gran
Harvey York opened the trunk to grab his luggage.He saw a simple gift box inside. It was a radish covered in mud.“Flaxseed from the Great White Mountain?”Harvey was confused. He did not expect that Dariel Jackson would have a surprise for him here.This was an excellent tonic. Usually, it would be used to strengthen the bodies of older men.Since Harvey was planning to get remarried, he would also need Lilian Yates and Simon Zimmer’s agreement. After thinking about the situation, he decided to pick up the Flaxseed.Mandy Zimmer got out of the villa after receiving the word.She froze after seeing a plastic bag in Harvey’s hand.“This is…”“Just a small gift for Mom and Dad,” Harvey replied. He did not bother explaining any further.Xynthia Zimmer stuck her tongue out before she slipped away after seeing her sister.Mandy was stunned after hearing Harvey’s words. She did not expect that he would still prepare something for their parents despite their relationship.“Their
“Hahaha! You did?Gabriel Lee burst out laughing before looking at Harvey York’s plastic bag.“You’re not talking about this, are you?“You came all the way here just to get Father and Mother’s agreement for your remarriage, yet you’re bringing in a gift like this?”Before Mandy Zimmer could even say anything, Gabriel stepped forward and grabbed Harvey’s plastic bag out of his hand.The bag was opened soon after.A fresh radish could be seen inside it.“A radish? Did you just pluck this off the ground?“Is this even worth a single dollar?“No wonder Father and Mother keep calling you a useless filth!“You’re bringing this to ask for their agreement?“Are you shameless?“Leave!“The family doesn’t welcome you!”Along with Gabriel’s words, the wealthy people acquainted with Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates showed odd looks as they glared at Harvey.Their expressions were filled with disdain. They believed that Harvey’s presence only lowered the standard of the gathering.Har
“I’m not Father and Mother’s actual son. I’m just a godson without a status…“But I know I should be making them happy no matter the cost!“As long as I can hear their laughter, I’d be willing to spend all my life savings on anything!“But you say this is good enough when you’re just buying some random gift to fool them?!“Sigh! Looks like I’m just an outsider after all!“I did my best to treat Father and Mother, yet I can’t even compete against a damn radish!”Gabriel Lee seemed helpless before he showed a stern expression on his face.Avery Foster quickly lifted Gabriel when he felt a little dizzy.“I told you many times, Gabriel!” she whispered.“You treat them like actual parents, but there’s no way you can beat the blood of an actual family!”The crowd sighed while they showed pitiful looks toward Gabriel.“Yeah! There aren’t a lot of respectful people like Gabriel nowadays!”“It’s their blessing to have someone like him!”“More importantly, he’s more respectful even
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
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
