“Sigh.Kairi Patel sighed before pulling out her phone.“Maybe you’ve forgotten something, Young Master Abe.“I am from the Patel family!“The family belongs to one of the five hidden families.“Do you think you can still walk out of here alive if I decide to thwart you regardless of the consequences?”“So what?“Can you even go against the Tsuchimikado family?“We’re the true royal family with thousands of years of lineage!“Country H hasn’t even been built for a hundred years! How can you even hope to go against the Island Nations?!“Come on then! Try me!“I want to see how impressive the Patel family is!”Bam!The door was kicked open before a group of men in uniforms swarmed in.The person in front was Soren Braff himself.“How dare you lay your hands on my niece under the Golden Sands Police Station’s jurisdiction?” exclaimed Soren coldly as he stepped forward.“Have you ever asked for my opinion first?”The group of inspectors quickly took control of the entire p
He would not even be able to keep his position if things were to escalate.Soren Braff showed a horrible expression before taking a deep breath.“Representative Abe, right?“I know that this is the Island Nations’ territory. I also know that you’re the representative of the Island Nations Embassy!“But you need to give me a fair statement for injuring my people like that!”“Do you even think you have the right to ask for that?!”Sakamoto scoffed before swinging the back of his palm across Soren’s face.Slap!A resounding slap was heard.Soren stumbled a few steps back with utter disbelief. He did not even have time to prepare himself.He least expected the Islanders would be reckless enough to go against him like this!A bright red palm print was showing on his face when he was utterly enraged.“Looks like you’re planning to escalate the situation no matter what, Young Master Abe!Soren coldly scoffed.“This man is actively obstructing justice while also injuring a govern
Sakamoto chuckled.“Aren’t you people impressive or something?“You don’t fear death, right?“What?“You’ve been yapping about me obstructing justice! You want to arrest me, right?!“Come on then!“Do it!”Sakamoto crossed his arms with a prideful expression.“You people are completely embarrassing your damn country at this point!”“You wouldn’t dare do something like that!” exclaimed Soren coldly.“I wouldn’t?”Sakamoto put his fingers on a red wire, ready to tear it off any moment.Soren and dozens of inspectors reacted instinctively.Some rolled behind chairs and tables. Others stumbled back into corners of the room.The fierce group of people was immediately suppressed.Naturally, even though the police were more courageous than ordinary people, they still treasured their own lives.Soren stood up after stumbling across the ground. His white uniform was completely covered in dust.He was showing a terrible expression.“You’re showing off before me looking like tha
“Apologize, then break both your arms as validation.“Or, I can pull the wire off and gamble everyone’s lives.”Harvey York casually glanced at Sakamoto, who was showing a fierce expression.“Don’t worry.“If the C4 explodes, I’ll die with you. Your Young Master Abe’s no different.“We can all have another fight in the afterlife since everyone’s going down together.”Sakamoto’s face instantly darkened when he showed a vengeful glare.“You bastard! Who are you?!”Sakamoto wanted to eliminate Harvey immediately, but his aura was wholly suppressed while his shoulder was pressed down for some reason. He could not even move a single inch of his body at that very moment.Simply put, he had no means to fight back at all.“Me?“I’m just a kept man.“Kairi’s man, in fact.“Normally, I wouldn’t do something like this in your eyes.“But there’s just no other choice. Can’t a kept man act boldly when his woman’s being threatened?Harvey smiled while glaring coldly.“Come. Make your
Slap!Harvey York swung the back of his palm across Sakamoto’s face.“I’m insulting you now!“Come on then! Take me down with you!“Prove me otherwise!“You can’t do that?“Then, let me help you!”Harvey kept slapping Sakamoto around.His face was as swollen as a pig’s in just minutes.The crowd was dead silent.People’s eyes were twitching nonstop when they looked at the action.Nobody thought a mere kept man would be able to be this reckless.Even someone like Sakamoto was completely crushed.‘He has a death wish or something!’‘Since Sakamoto’s from the Suicide Squad, he definitely has many resources!’‘Even if Harvey manages to take advantage of him, how will he handle the consequences if Sakamoto takes his revenge?!’‘What can he even do as a kept man?!’Soren Braff and the other inspectors felt refreshed as they watched the show.The more miserable they felt, the happier they were at that moment.They thought that the Islander was completely fearless. Based on
Abe Masato was also showing a horrible expression.He had been using his identity as royalty, the new star of the political world, and an outstanding onmyoji in his country to show off…And yet he was being blatantly stepped on in Golden Sands.More importantly, he would not even dare stand up for Sakamoto.After all, Harvey York would probably pull the wire as a result.‘He’s insane!’Abe was rendered speechless. He was an upperclassman. He would suffer a huge loss if he actually died to a mere kept man.He wanted to get out while the entire place was in chaos, but his face darkened when Soren Braff and the others blocked the exits.“Why should I make a choice, you bastard?!” exclaimed Sakamoto.“I want you dead right now!“I’ll kill you with my own two hands!”Harvey patted Sakamoto’s face.“I know that.“But your life is in my hands right now.“You have no other choice!“Why are you still here negotiating with me when you belong to the Suicide Squad? Are you not embar
Harvey York lightly chuckled.“You probably don’t know manners too well.“Let me give you a lesson then.“An apology should be sincere. You should be kneeling and breaking your arms before saying you’re sorry!“Do you want to do it yourself? Or are you waiting for me to do it for you?”Sakamoto instinctively screamed after hearing Harvey’s words.“You damn kept man!“You better know what’s good for you!“I’m already apologizing for your sake!“What else do you want?!“Do you really think that I wouldn’t dare die with you?!“Those bodyguards will pull the trigger as soon as I give the order! We’ll see who dies first when that happens!”Along with the wave of his hand, the bodyguards immediately pulled out their firearms before pointing them toward Harvey’s head.Naturally, they would not hesitate to pull the trigger if anything went wrong.Soren Braff and the others took off the safeties of their firearms after seeing the sight. An epic battle could happen at any moment.
Abe looked as if he had bitten a bitter gourd. He looked more awful than the pale-faced women. ‘That bastard! He’s torturing everyone’s hearts!’Abe simply couldn’t take such humiliation, considering his high status.Seeing Harvey let go of the wire, Abe quickly waved his hand for his subordinates to escort Sakamoto out. He regained a bit of courage soon after.He stepped forward, glaring coldly. “You’re impressive, kid! Not only did you ruin my gathering, but you even gave Sakamoto the most humiliating experience. “The Tsuchimikado family always repays a favor!“Don’t worry! After tonight, I’ll...”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm before Abe could even finish his sentence.“Did I tell you to speak?“If you’re not happy, then come at me!“But I’m warning you…“If you keep harassing Kairi before you take me out, then you’re finished!”Harvey tapped Abe’s face and adjusted his collar. Smiling faintly, he left with Kairi and the others.Harvey had taken complete c
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
