Mandy Zimmer took a deep breath.“This is the difference between us!“You don’t care about that! But I do!”“That’s why you’re such a failure! You’re the head of the ninth branch, yet you’re constantly being toyed by the higher-ups!“You’re naive!Amora Foster had her opinions about Mandy.“I’m asking you one last time. Are you calling him or not?”“I will not!” Mandy replied slowly.“Not only that, I’ll give a fair statement to your family about this!”Slap!Amora slammed Mandy onto the table with another slap across the face.“In three minutes, I have no choice but to go further!”Amora clapped her hands.Two fierce men took off their suits with wretched chuckles.A few others started setting up their cameras. Their actions needed absolutely no explanation!“You’re shameless, Amora!”Mandy trembled. She did not expect Amora to be capable of doing such a thing.“I’m shameless?Amora chuckled with a twisted expression.“I was being nice, yet you didn’t even respect m
“Let her go!”“Let Ms. Amora go!”The fierce men in suits charged forward.Some had firearms with safeties off while pointed at Harvey York.Others tried to snatch Amora Foster away but could not find a good angle.The atmosphere tensed up instantly. A fight was imminent.Harvey would never let these people get an opportunity to take action after all.The experts who got closer were immediately sent flying after getting slapped. Their faces were clearly swollen when they fell flat to the ground.“Let her go, Harvey!“You’re dead if you don’t!”Charlize pulled out her firearm before pointing it toward Harvey.Bam!Harvey exerted more force on his foot, making Amora’s face closer to the ground.Then, he calmly glanced at the people around him.“Step down, or your lady gets it!”The fierce men looked at each other. They wanted to save Amora but could not help but hesitate after seeing Harvey’s skill.Amora was already calm at this moment. She coldly chuckled while complete
Mandy Zimmer felt sluggish after seeing such a ruthless and decisive woman.Harvey York, on the other hand, was feeling quite impressed.Not only was Amora ruthless to others, but she was even more so to herself.People like that were only destined to rise to power.“I see your sincerity now…Harvey slowly walked toward Amora before fixing her arms back with a gentle smile.“It’s simple for me to deal with your father’s curse.“That said, no matter how generous I am, I can’t just do that for free after everything you two have done to me, right?”Amora showed mixed emotions before taking a deep breath.“Name anything you want, Master York!”Harvey pulled out three fingers.“I have three simple conditions.“Number one, I want Brayan to go into hiding after he’s treated. I don’t want to see him in every possible industry there is.“Number two, I want half of the Foster family’s resources, including riches and connections…”Amora’s expression changed.“Do you want to tear th
Amora Foster finally closed her mouth.A sense of loyalty immediately replaced the vengeance against Harvey York. She decided to go down the same path with him till the bitter end.“Thank you for trusting me, Master York!” she exclaimed exhilarated.“Then again, I don’t think I have enough power to convince the entire family…“Just like you said, I’m afraid the family won’t support my improper rise.”Harvey patted Amora’s face with a smile.“Don’t forget, I’m the city’s best geomancy expert.“You’re destined to be in a high position.“Be confident in yourself.“Go back and talk to your father.“Tell him to listen to you if he wants to live the rest of his life in glory and riches.“This’ll be beneficial for all three of us.”Amora decisively waved her hand, completely ignoring her injuries.“Don’t worry, Sir York!“I won’t let my major shareholder be disappointed!”Then, she turned around and left.As expected from a ruthless person like her.Mandy Zimmer was shocked w
“It’s a lot of money and resources. This amount of riches can make an ordinary man rival a country…“But do I look like someone who even needs that?”Amora Foster froze with a peculiar expression.“It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to fool me.“As long as you do my job properly, I can even help the family during trying times as the major shareholder.“If you do go against me, I can easily take control of the family just like I did your father.“If I want to, I can also remove the family from the top ten families.“Do you understand me?”With Amora’s attitude, she would be jumping around the place while she screamed at Harvey York for saying those words…But for some reason, she believed what Harvey had just said was the truth!She believed that if he wanted to, he could destroy the family within a matter of minutes!“I understand!” she exclaimed, with her eyes twitching.“Thank you for telling me this.”“Good.Harvey lightly nodded before knocking on the table.“Castiel
Amora Foster’s face darkened.“And what if I don’t?”“He won’t die,” replied Harvey York.“But the curse will enter his body again.“He’ll become a vegetable for the rest of his life if that’s the case.“Don’t worry though. I’ll get Castiel Foster to visit every year.“The service is free, of course. Maybe treat Castiel to a meal so you two have an excuse to hang out.“I’m pretty generous anyway.”Amora showed a perplexed expression.“Thank you, Master York,” she said quietly.She was a wise person. She knew exactly why Harvey was doing all this.The Foster family had no chance to go against Harvey any longer.After all, Brayan Foster could only rely on him if he wanted to live a good life.That said, Amora was not disdained by this at all.Her rise was too abrupt. The rest of the family would not hesitate to oppose her.Harvey’s simple move was enough to keep Brayan alive.Since that was the case, Brayan would also give it his all to keep Amora in her position.Simply
“The Foster family’s completely useless now?“Amora Foster’s heading back to Shaddol as we speak?Blaine John was filled with disbelief.“Cedric Lopez was crushed, and now he’s also demanding the John family for an explanation?”Kensley Quinlan covered the red palm print on her beautiful face with her hands as she took a deep breath.“That’s right.“And if I’m not mistaken, Amora’s rise to power is also directly involved with Harvey York.“She’s probably cooperating with him right now.“It’ll be hard to cause him any trouble after this…“Young Master John, I’m afraid we’ll have to postpone our arrangements for him for a while…“Should we report this to the higher-ups and ask for more backup?”Blaine showed a gloomy expression.“Report? How are we supposed to report this?“Tell them that we brought all of our forces here just for that live-in son-in-law to beat the shit out of all of them?“Do you think you can report something like this?”Kensley froze.Just as Blaine s
Harvey York froze before he burst out laughing, wondering if he was destined to play as someone else’s boyfriend recently.Penny Jackson came looking for him before. Cedric Lopez came looking for trouble after that.Since Kairi Patel asked for help, it was probably quite a big deal.“What? You’re refusing even though you gave Penny a hand?”Kairi was naturally well-informed. She scooched beside Harvey before whispering into his ear.“She begged for you to pretend to be his boyfriend…“But I’m different.“If you know the person I hate…“You’d be the one begging instead.”Harvey clicked his tongue.“I don’t know about that. I’m not the type to beg.”“That person belongs to the Tsuchimikado family. He was an exchange student from Kyoto University.“His name is Abe Masato.“Not only is he currently the brightest new star of the Island Nations’ political field and the youngest advisor there is, but it’s said that he’s also one of the most outstanding onmyojis of his family.“I
Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City
"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
