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
“Look into this. See if Aston visited Volton Hall before. If he did, find a way to bail him out,” Harvey said.Cliff appeared again when Harvey finished his third pot of tea.“Sir York, he did go to Volton Hall before coming to our place. When he came out of there, he seemed to have become a different person.”“I bought off one of the workers there, and I’ve confirmed that the actors were all from the same place.”“The Volton Hall is involved!”“After they failed to cause us trouble last time, they embarrassed themselves and ran out of business. They had no choice but to rely on free services to attract customers.”“They were hoping to shut down Fortune Hall for good this time.”“What a shame. You’ve outmatched them! Volton Hall will definitely suffer.”Castiel bit into an apple, his face filled with admiration.“We shouldn’t have gone easy on them last time, Master York!”“Who’s the owner of Volton Hall?” Harvey asked. “A man from the underworld. His name is Waylon Sacket,
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
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
