The marriage was not set in stone.But in Lilian Yates’ eyes…Blaine John was destined to be her outstanding son-in-law.Lilian had been imagining all sorts of things after having a short chat with Blaine.Wolsing’s tall mansions, private islands in the Caribbeans, art salons filled with a sense of magnificence…Those were things that she had been dreaming of.She was born into a pretty good family but was barely considered part of the top-rated circle.She could not push herself any further, so she instilled her hopes and dreams in her two daughters.Now that there was an opportunity, she would never let Harvey spoil this chance.“Please!“Is the money not enough?!“Get out of here already!“I’ll give you as much as you want!”Lilian was utterly infuriated. If she were not afraid of Harvey slapping her in the face, she would have lashed out at him by now.Harvey casually called the waiter over before asking for some Silver Needle Tea.Then, he shifted his gaze toward Ma
Lilian Yates had already interjected before Mandy Zimmer could say anything.“My daughter will never let this bastard here!“He must’ve followed her here!”Naturally, Lilian did not want Aunt Witby to anger Mandy Zimmer.It would be bad if the date were ruined because of this!“What?! He followed her all the way here?!“He’s also ordering stuff without any shame!Aunt Witby burst out in anger.“Bastard!“Why are you like this?!“People should get their statuses straight!“And not constantly pester people!“Don’t you get it?!“You’re not worthy to be with a goddess like Mandy!“You’re a nobody!“You two are from two different worlds!“Why are you still clinging to her?!“Let me tell you! I’ll strangle you to death if you ruin Mandy’s marriage!“I’m giving you one last chance! Are you leaving or not?!“I’ll call the cops if you’re not! I’ll make sure you suffer!”Aunt Witby furiously pulled out her phone before dialing a number.Harvey calmly sipped his tea.“You’re
The two quietly locked eyes. Harvey York’s gaze was calm in contrast to Blaine John’s playful expression.Lilian, Aunt Witby, and the others looked at each other before scoffing at Harvey.Blaine was covered in custom-made clothing, and Harvey wore discounted clothes from road stalls.Blaine had the aura of an upperclassman, yet Harvey was just an unsightly man.Blaine was the young master of the John family, with his name hailed all over the top-rated circle.Harvey? He was just pretending to be a geomancy expert fooling his way to the top. He looked like he was in the upper social circle, but he was nothing compared to someone like Blaine.Lilian and the others pouted. They did not understand where Harvey got the nerve to look at Blaine that way.“Perfect timing, Young Master John! This is the Zimmer family’s driver!“A mere driver like him is trying to take advantage of Mandy here! He doesn’t know when to stop!“Mandy’s been explaining that she has someone she loves! A nobo
“Not just Golden Sands, even people from Mordu and Wolsing have to pay their respects to someone of this status.“I have to admit, you are quite capable. It’s hard for an ordinary man to achieve all this in such a short time.”Mandy Zimmer froze. She did not expect Harvey York had already made so much progress after coming to the city.Aunt Witby and Elodie Jean looked at each other. They completely looked down on Harvey, but Harvey seemed extremely impressive based on Blaine’s compliments alone…Or at least, he was better than the average person.Lilian Yates showed an odd expression. She had an idea as to how capable Harvey was.Then again, she did not expect he would be this resourceful after coming to the Golden Sands.Since Lilian naturally disdained Harvey, she still could not help but feel disgusted after hearing Blaine complimenting him.“A man like Harvey has no right to be compared to you, Young Master John!“His connections are nothing! You were born into a top-rate
Harvey York kept sipping his tea without replying.He was about to leave after he was done.What was there to talk about when Blaine John had only been boasting about his strength the entire time?He could not be bothered to listen any longer.Elodie Jean, on the other hand, felt curious.“Who are those people, Young Master John?”The others were interested as well. They wanted to know what kind of people would let such a prominent figure be this humble.“The first man had single-handedly defeated the five strongest countries, creating the legendary Sword Camp at a very young age!“Then, he established billion-dollar corporations abroad, raising the country to the world’s peak himself!“More importantly, he disappeared during his peak, leaving only a legend behind!“It’s said that he’d definitely become the next elder of the military force if he didn’t!“He’d have the right to compete against Young Master Wright and the Big Boss for the highest position many years later!”B
“He took the crown with his own hands!“He’s a hero!”Blaine John showed peerless admiration.“I wonder which one out of the three you know, Master York?”Aunt Witby and Elodie Jean disdainfully glared at Harvey York with their arms crossed.‘That’s right! You must’ve never heard of those people before, have you?’Lilian Yates, Mandy Zimmer, and Simon Zimmer looked at each other with odd expressions. They wanted to say something, but they simply could not…If they remembered correctly…Prince York…Blaine showed a faint smile when they looked at Harvey.“I wonder if you have opinions about the people I’m talking about.“Right. Two out of these three have the same surname as you.“I wonder why there’s this much of a gap between you and them…”Blaine picked a glass on the table.In his eyes, Harvey had no right to be on the same level as him.“What a conversation, Young Master John! I’ve learned a lot!Harvey smiled.“But I’m curious. What’s the point of you talking abou
“You know? What do you know?” Mandy replied angrily.“Blaine’s the young master of the John family!“He’s also Emery’s sworn brother! They’re really close!“Do you know who that is?“That’s the big boss’s son! If we’re in ancient times, then he’s a literal prince!“You’re going against someone like that, and you tell me that you know?!”Harvey shot her a playful smile. “The Braided Dynasty’s been dead for hundreds of years by now. That man’s no prince.”“Even if we don’t talk about that, don’t you know that the John family’s the only top-rated family in the entire city?”Mandy was infuriated.“Even your Kairi had difficulty dealing with the John family! You don’t actually think that you can go against them, can you?”Harvey smiled; right as he was about to say something, a horn could be heard not far away.The horn had always been the symbol of starting a war. The horrifying sound would make anyone freeze in fear.Harvey instinctively turned around.A group of people was s
The man with the horn froze upon realizing that the truth of the corpses was exposed. He started playing the horn faster.The corpses pounced right at Harvey.“The same trick won’t work twice.”Harvey stepped on a tile on the ground.Crack!It shattered into pieces, flying all over the place. The shards lodged right into the corpses’ throats.Small worms, invisible to the naked eye, started exploding.At the same time, the roaring corpses instantly went limp before falling to the ground, as if they had lost all strength.Harvey glared coldly at the man with the horn.Looking closely, he was the robed man with golden-rimmed glasses who followed around Cedric, constantly ridiculing Harvey.The man looked at the corpses lying all over the ground, his face a horrible expression.“Bastard! How dare you take out Young Master Cedric’s Iron Corpses?! Do you have a death wish?”The man twisted the bell of the horn, and a flurry of blue needles flew right at Harvey.Harvey narrowed
The security guards at the entrance finally reacted to what was happening. They started to call for reinforcements when they saw Yvonne's sportscar was stopped.The range rovers' doors were kicked open, and dozens of men and women clad in traditional Country H's garbs got out. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with a deep scar on his face. It was obvious he had survived a terrible battle against death once.He ignored all the security guards and quickly approached Harvey and Yvonne."Stop them!" Yvonne called out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Who are you? What do you want?"The security guards from Sky Corporation quickly ran over. Dozens of people had started to gather around Harvey. In terms of numbers, they were finally able at an equal level.In truth, anyone from the other side should be able to easily defeat the bodyguards from Sky Corporation. Harvey, who knew this very clearly, also opened the door and walked to Yvonne's side. He looked at th
After Harvey was done with the Ninth Branch and sent Mandy home, he left. Mandy had shown him that she cared, but there were a lot of problems between them. They didn't even have to look for it—Lilian's existence alone was a constant thorn in their eyes. Unless Lilian chose to stop being a problem, Harvey had no interest in becoming the Zimmer family's son-in-law again. After leaving the Zimmer family, Harvey wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, he went to Sky Corporation's HQ. He was surprised to see that the light in the CEO's office was still lit.Harvey arrived at the door and saw a beautiful woman still working quietly at the desk. He had just wanted to go in before hearing Yvonne's voice. It sounded like she was on a call. "Investigate it. We have to investigate this no matter what! Even if he's not going to ask about it right now, we still have to do it. What will happen if Mr. York wants to blame someone?"After that, Yvonne hung up."What happened?" Harvey asked as h
Durandal raised his eyebrow when he heard Harvey's provocation. He was quite shocked that Harvey was able to see through everything with such ease, but he didn't show much of it. He simply said coldly, "No one can order me around. I simply didn't like you. So? Go on! Kill me if you're really as powerful as you make it sound."Harvey sighed. "I'm trying to talk some sense into you, but you refuse to listen to reason. I never said I wanted your life. All I want is your hand. Since you refused to choose the option I'm giving you, I suppose I'm going to take what's mine."Harvey took a step forward, grabbed Durandal's right hand, and then twisted it.Snap!There was a snap, and Durandal's right arm was twisted into an irregular shape. Durandal suppressed the pain inside of him, but he was also quite shocked. He never expected that, despite being a superior martial artist, he would be completely useless when facing Harvey. The moment Harvey attacked, forget resisting—he didn't even
Durandal and his men's faces changed when they saw how calm Harvey was. They looked at Harvey with shock. It was obvious they didn't realize that Harvey had already made all sorts of preparations. He was ready to set them up all along—all he needed was for them to be in position.Meanwhile, Mandy and the rest of the Ninth Branch's senior members looked enlightened. They finally realized why Harvey was so confident. He had already found out the Boxing Champion's weakness!Meanwhile, the young fighter was also very prideful. Once he knew his opponent's weakness, he would do everything he could to become victorious.In short, this was not just a mere match. Before both sides began fighting, both sides had already planned and executed their strategies.Durandal's eyes narrowed. He didn't continue to verbally defend himself, and simply glared at Harvey. "I didn't expect that you've got quite the brain…"Harvey smiled. "I love it when others underestimate me. Because, that way, I can
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
