‘A man?’‘Unable to reproduce?’The crowd froze, then stopped dialing.The couple were stunned. They looked at Harvey with puzzled expressions.“How dare you slander us, you b*stard?!”The husband came to his senses soon after.“My wife’s such a beautiful woman, but you’re calling her a man?”“This is a huge offense!”“I’ll destroy your entire store right now!”“Will you now?”Harvey smiled and slapped the couple to the ground again.“You gave me all the information of a man, then you ask me why he’s unable to give birth?”“And then you demand me to solve the problem?”“Do you think the Centennial Book is just for show?”“Do you think I couldn’t tell?”“You should’ve just said you could give birth instead! I’ll even look for a good date for you!”Harvey kicked the so-called woman to the ground before pulling her scarf away.An Adam’s apple could be seen on him. There was simply no need for an explanation.The crowd went completely speechless.“He is a man! That b*s
Castiel revealed a look of realization.“I see…”“Are we just going to let this slide?”“They came here to cause us trouble! Won’t we seem like easy targets if we just let them be?”“There’s no need,” Harvey replied.“We should give them a chance. After all, it’s only proper to hold back a little.”“Besides, their broken arms must cost a lot of money to fix.”“If they know what’s best for them, they won’t cause us any more trouble after this.”“Of course, if they still have a death wish, I wouldn’t mind playing along either.”“I see!”Castiel nodded. He learned quite a lot just by knowing how Harvey worked.Harvey sipped his tea; he guessed that the couple probably came to test him on Evermore’s behalf. Thus, he didn’t want to attract any unwanted attention.The next few days were smooth sailing for Fortune Hall. The only difference was the increase in customers.A lot of people came all the way here after seeing the news.Harvey didn’t hold anything back when solving the
Harvey quickly drew a talisman with some cinnabar, and lit it up. Then, he dunked it in a bowl of water.He handed the bowl to Aston with a smile.“Here. You might get diarrhea after drinking this, but this should be enough to cleanse your evil energy.”“Drink more water and get some rest. You should be back to normal tomorrow.”“Of course. Thank you, Master York. I’ll…”Aston’s body shivered, and blood started coming out of his eyes. He held his stomach tightly, pointing at Harvey as he trembled.He then slammed to the ground soon after.“W-What did you feed me, you b*stard?”White foam escaped around his mouth, and he stopped breathing. He was no different than a corpse.“Aaah!”The other customers gasped, stumbling back in fear.The women were screaming, frightened. They couldn’t believe their eyes—a man who was still alive a few minutes ago suddenly died!“What’s going on here?”“Is he really dead?!”As soon as someone spoke up, Fortune Hall immediately went dead si
The customers who had come to Fortune Hall quickly stepped back in horror.Cliff, Luca, and the rest came after getting word of the situation. They immediately frowned after seeing the dead Aston.It’d be easy to deal with the situation: just compensate with money.It wouldn’t be tough for Harvey to get out of the situation unscathed, either.However, Fortune Hall’s reputation would be ruined forever.After hearing the news, Leona was on the verge of tears.She wasn’t worried about Fortune Hall. Rather, she was afraid that Harvey would have no choice but to stop being a geomancy expert and leave the place.Castiel regained his calm and approached Harvey.“I can’t feel a pulse, Master York…”“What do we do now?”Castiel shivered after saying those words. He didn’t know what to do, since it was his first time dealing with such a situation.“I got this.”Harvey stepped out and squinted at Aston’s forehead. He looked amused.“This is pretty troublesome, Sir York,” the doctor s
Harvey didn’t care about the ruckus, nor did he pay attention to the screaming crowd. He calmly sent a text before finally speaking up.“You’re an interesting bunch.”“You didn’t even bat an eye at Aston and you’re already screaming at me, claiming that he’s already dead.”“Shouldn’t you be calling an ambulance instead?”“Besides, he’s only been dead for five minutes. Nobody has contacted anyone yet, and you people are already here with steel bats?”“You must’ve known he was going to die, right?”Castiel’s phone vibrated. After seeing the text on his screen, he left without making a sound.“Bullsh*t!”The middle-aged woman had no intention to speak reason with Harvey. She looked furious.“You killed him, and now you’re putting the blame on us?!”“Are you still human?”The others revealed righteous expressions and started screaming as well.“That’s right! Everyone saw him dying after you fed him something!”“How dare you push the blame after all that?”“More importantly, h
The middle-aged woman raised her head and looked around her arrogantly.Harvey kept smiling.“I don’t like the conditions, though.”“How about this? I’ll resurrect your dad right now.”The woman froze when she heard those words.“What do you mean by that?”The other customers were stunned as well.Castiel pinched his nose, a bowl in hand. A rancid smell wafted in the air as soon as he walked inside the hall.The woman’s face turned ugly. “What are you doing?”“Your dad’s dead. I have a concoction that I made myself for resurrections.”Harvey pinched his nose as he spoke.“I swear in my name…”“That once he drinks this, he’ll revive faster than the speed of light!”“If not, I’ll shut this place down and give you your money—no, 1.5 million just isn’t enough! I’ll pay you fifteen million!”Harvey took a few steps back.“Feed him, Castiel.”Castiel was speechless. He grit his teeth and he took off the lid from the bowl.A foul smell filled in the air.Nobody knew where
“Blargh!”Right as the medicine entered Aston’s mouth, his body shook. He opened his eyes in panic, struggling to spit everything out of his mouth.“What?!”The people around him screamed in fear and stumbled back. They all looked as if they had seen a ghost.None of them thought that a dead person could actually be revived this way.Cliff and the others looked puzzled. “This is life-saving stuff here, old man! You need to drink it all up to prevent yourself from getting cursed again,” Harvey said. He pressed his foot on Anton, stopping Anton from struggling. He watched as the foul medicine went right into Anton’s mouth.The people were disgusted. They wanted to scream, but they couldn’t. Even the middle-aged woman and her men couldn’t do anything about the situation.Soon, Anton swallowed all the medicine. Harvey moved his leg away.“Go wash up now, Castiel,” he said. “You’re disgusting.”“Get Maren to clean up here too.”“Don’t forget, this costs fifteen dollars.”Cast
Aston and the others’ expressions were horrible.They were in disbelief; they didn’t think Harvey could tell they were using a talisman to fake Aston’s death.The best way to counter that talisman was something filthy. Pig swill was naturally the best medicine.Cliff and the others waved their hands, smirking coldly. Many workers rushed forward, clutching steel bats.Before, they felt guilty because they thought they had killed someone. Now that they had regained their moral high ground, they wanted to retaliate.The rest of the customers finally understood the situation.Aston and his relatives were here to make trouble!Not only did Harvey see through their geomancy arts, but he humiliated them in public as well. After realizing they had been completely fooled by these shameless people, the customers stood on the benches with a righteous look.“You think you can just cause trouble in the Fortune Hall, you b*stards?”“You scared the sh*t out of me! Do you think you can leav
"That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som
"No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
After Geoffrey had left, Harvey then walked into the courtyard. He looked around. Once he was sure there were no hidden cameras, he got into the bathroom and showered. Then, he changed into a new outfit.Too many things happened while he was on his way here, and he had to review everything. Only then would he be able to see the big picture of what had happened today.After that, he found the beverages meant for him. Then, he walked to the courtyard's edge, looking at the faraway scenery. The courtyard was built by the hills and a water source. In addition to the bridges and streams, he could see the plains in the mountains. He could even see the grass swaying as the wind blew.At the edge of the grassy plains were steep cliffs. The Fosters had built several gazebo-like structures there, which were quite terrifying. Harvey was curious and gave these cliffs a better look. That should be the edge of Grand City. He could see an endless ocean with crashing waves from here.Harvey could
Harvey saw Geoffrey already waiting there when he alighted the car. When Geoffrey saw Harvey, he was apologetic about the entire matter. Harvey did not need to say anything, and Geoffrey walked over, saying, "Friend… No, Mr. Representative. We will give you an explanation that you'll be happy with."Feel free to stay in the Foster family's estate. If anything happens again, you do not need to say anything. Our family will take full responsibility for this!"Harvey sighed. "There's no need for this, Geoffrey. My visit to Grand City will affect plenty of people's interests. It's normal for them to try and stop me from coming no matter what.""It's not that you're affecting many people's interests. Most importantly, you have affected one faction's interests," Geoffrey said as he gestured and led Harvey into the estate. As he guided Harvey in, he said, "The entire Grand City now knows your reason for coming to Grand City is to take on the Three Halls. What you're doing is taking away
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
