Kairi and the others looked over as well, and saw a group of people walk in from the corridor.Harvey saw a man in a robe leading them. The man was a little skinny; he had quite a handsome face, but he looked arrogant and conceited.At a closer glance, he looked similar to Rodney.The young man nodded after seeing Reece.“Hello, Master Foley.”Even when he was greeting Reece respectfully, the arrogant look on his face remained.“Did you get someone from Aeon Hall here?”Reece narrowed his eyes and studied the young man before him.“Are you Master Foster’s grandchild, Castiel?”Castiel smiled.“You have a good memory, sir. I didn’t think you’d remember me after we met only once many years ago.”Harley smiled.“Castiel’s a good friend of mine, Uncle.”“In Golden Sands, his geomancy arts are second to none!”“More importantly, his studies have skyrocketed recently.”“I put a great deal of effort into getting him to come here!”Harley turned to Leona. “You should let Yo
Harvey couldn’t be bothered to deal with Harley after seeing her shifting all the blame to him.Harley didn’t give up, though; she was dead set on chasing Harvey out of the front door.Reece quickly stepped in front of her.“Calm down, Harley! Don’t do anything stupid!”Leona smiled.“I’ll be fine, Harley.”“You think?!”“If I didn’t get here in time, you would’ve been dead by now!”Harley screamed in anger and broke free from Reece before rushing toward Harvey, prepared to slap him in the face.“I’m not done with you after last time, you b*stard!”“You ruined my brother’s business, and now, you’re here to hurt my cousin?!”“I want you dead!”Slap!Before Harvey could take action, Kairi suddenly took a step forward and swung the back of her palm across Harley’s face.“Do you want to die? How dare you disrespect Sir York like that?!”Harley froze after seeing and hearing Kairi’s attitude and tone.Naturally, she knew who Kairi was.Her attention had been completely on H
Harvey’s picture and stamp were in every single one of the booklets.“That’s impossible!”Harley froze.“This must be fake!”She chuckled coldly.“You won’t believe a con man like this, will you?”“This guy will stop at nothing to get what he wants!”Castiel chuckled when he saw Harley being so agitated.“Master Foley, I don’t know where you found this con man.”“I don’t know why you chose to trust him either, but…”“Only Aeon Hall has a chance to save Leona!”Reece looked at Castiel’s confident look and asked, “Why’s that?”“Why?”Castiel crossed his arms with a prideful expression.“Because I have inherited the Book of Changes’ studies!”“I can vanquish every trouble in this world!”Reece was filled with shock after hearing that.“What?! The Book of Changes?!”“Impossible! That book was lost to time!”“Why would I lie?”Castiel became more conceited after seeing the look on Reece’s face.“Not long ago, my grandfather found an expert who taught him everything abou
Castiel immediately let out a cough after seeing the look Harley gave him.“Even among brothers, scores should be settled clearly.”“I heard that you sent word recently…”“That the person who saves Leona will get Fortune Hall for free. Is that true?”Reece had a profound look on his face. “That’s right. You can take this place any time after Leona’s properly treated.”“You can have the sign that’s been passed down through nine different generations, too.”Harley trembled in excitement after hearing those words.“Don’t you worry! My uncle has always kept his promises,” she said with a smile.“If you’re still doubtful, I can make a guarantee myself.”Bam!Reece didn’t waste any time pulling out a contract and throwing it on the table.“Don’t worry. I have the contract right here.”“Whoever saves my granddaughter can take this place away.”Harley excitedly grabbed the contract and took a few glances at it. Her eyes lit up.“This is it! It’s a real contract! It just needs sig
Leona seemed like she was starting to recover, but her body suddenly trembled.She looked a little cold, but she didn’t say a word about it.Castiel was pleased with the results. He quickly puffed up his chest, as if he was about to do something grand.“Alright! Here goes my final move!”“This is the most important part of my teachings!”“Get out of here already, whoever you are! Don’t look at my secrets!”“This belongs to Aeon Hall only!”“It’ll be bad if someone with ulterior motives managed to learn this!”He crossed his arms with a prideful look.It was as if he wouldn’t save Leona unless Harvey left immediately.“Aeon Hall?”Harvey chuckled coldly after hearing those words.“Did Rodney tell you that?”“How dare you call my grandfather by his name, you b*stard?!”“Besides, what does it have to do with you?” Castiel showed utter disdain as he challenged Harvey.“In any case, I don’t want to see you here!”“If you’re not leaving, then I’m not saving Leona!”Harley
Rodney shot his grandson a bitter and infuriated expression.He slapped Castiel around a few dozen more times to the point the latter’s face was completely swollen.He then dragged Castiel by the collar and threw the boy in front of Harvey.“I’m sorry about this, Teacher!” Rodney exclaimed, after kneeling himself.“I didn’t teach this b*stard well enough!”“I even taught him your techniques!”“I didn’t think he’d offend you like this, despite his lack of experience!”“Please forgive him!”“Give him a chance!”“T-Teacher?!”Reece and Castiel were completely shocked to hear the title, and to see Rodney kneeling in front of Harvey. They were filled with utter disbelief.Harley quickly covered her mouth, trying her hardest not to scream.Nobody expected that Golden Sands’ top geomancy expert with immense status in the business would call someone like Harvey his teacher!The entire city would be in an uproar if word about this were to spread.“Let me tell you right now, you b*
Harley was completely shocked. Her eyes frantically twitched, and she was filled with disbelief.‘A live-in son-in-law is this powerful?’The man she supported was kneeling in front of Harvey, getting slapped around all the while.‘This…’Harley couldn’t help but mutter to herself.“Impossible! This is impossible!”“Stand. Ignorance isn’t a crime.”After seeing Castiel and Rodney’s attitudes, Harvey quickly lifted up Castiel.“Just remember: geomancy arts aren't for showing off.”If it wasn’t for Harvey, Castiel would’ve gotten Leona killed.Castiel nodded without pause.“I understand! Thank you for your teaching!”“I’ll remember that!”Harvey then glanced at Rodney.“My technique can be used to clean up the evil energy inside Leona, but…”“This can only get her body recovered, and not her eyes.”“Just like a small boat, if you want it to travel steadily, you need both the sea to be calm and the quality of the boat to be good enough for it to go far.”Harvey took a dee
Swoosh!Ten minutes later, the evil energy that had come out of Leona’s body dissipated immediately.Harvey snapped his fingers, and walked away before blowing out the fog in his mouth at a safe distance.When everything disappeared in thin air, he smiled.“It’s all done. Just rest for a few minutes and Ms. Foley’s sight and energy will be recovered.”Bam!Harley quickly pushed Harvey away and rushed toward Leona, planning to wipe the cinnabar off her face.“No! You can’t!”Slap!Kairi had long been prepared; she instantly swung the back of her palm across Harley’s face, stopping the latter.Harley screamed in pain, and fell to the ground.She stood up again quickly, covering her face.“This is bad! This is really bad!”“You need to wipe off the cinnabar mark!”Slap!This time, Reece stepped forward and slapped Harley in the face.Harley instantly fell to the ground once more.“Why did you hit me, Uncle?!”Harley was filled with resentment.“I’m doing this for my cou
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
