“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
An hour later, at Golden Sands People’s Hospital.Harvey paced outside the emergency room with a stern expression, occasionally looking at the bright light at the entrance. He didn’t say a single word, nor did he try to rush anyone.Corpse Poison from the Seed Frontier was vicious. Harvey managed to seal Mandy’s arteries while also forcing most of the poison out of her body, but…Since she was just an ordinary person who took too much shock, she needed to be treated in the hospital.Mandy was probably safe, but he was still worried.He knew that if this wasn’t handled properly, there was a chance that Mandy would be crippled the rest of her life.“What happened here, you bastard?!“She was sent into the emergency room as soon as you took her away!“What did you do to her?!”Around half an hour later, Lilian and the rest of the Zimmers rushed all the way there.Before she tried to understand the big picture, Lilian was already blatantly insulting Harvey as soon as she saw him.
“That’s impossible,” Harvey replied.“I can assure you, Blaine’s involved. Your dear son-in-law’s trying to kill your daughter.”Lilian frowned, as if she was thinking of the possibility…But Aunt Witby burst in anger after hearing those words.“You’re trash! You’re insulting all the good people you’ve done heinous things to?!“Who do you think you are? How dare you slander Young Master John’s name!“Do you know who he is?“He’s the young master of the country’s top-rated circle! He’s a gentle and personable man who loves doing charity!“Have you no shame to slander such a man?!”Aunt Witby was infuriated.“This is Golden Sands! Do you know just how much trouble you’ll get yourself into for saying things like that?”“I don’t know about that,” Harvey replied. “I only know that everyone who did this to Mandy will pay!”Harvey suspected that Cedric did this out of jealousy, but…He could tell that the man with the golden-rimmed glasses had never laid hands on Mandy.This mea
Harvey went to Fortune Hall after leaving the hospital.Right as he entered, Darwin, Prince, and Shay rushed to the main hall with anxious expressions.Harvey frowned. Logically speaking, they were also from Heaven’s Gate and the Gibson family. Even the John family would have to show them respect.Something must’ve gone wrong.‘Did something happen to Quill?’“Is Quill fine?” Harvey asked without hesitation.Darwin quickly walked over.“He’s fine. It’s something else, actually.“The Lopez family, the Corpse Walkers, are here to challenge our branch!“Without the head, nobody’s here to take charge!“This is bad!“Rumors say that they sent an expert who’s halfway into becoming a God of War.“If we’re not careful, not only will the family’s name be tarnished, but so will Heaven’s Gate! It’ll be troublesome for Helm Gibson.“Sir York, should we accept the challenge or not?”—In the evening, on the road to the lakeside villa of Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate.Harvey
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
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
