Leona was dressed in business attire, with black high heels and stockings. She wore a high ponytail, and her makeup was striking. She was as beautiful as a flower, and any who looked at her drooled instantly. It was a shame she was exuding such a cold aura. Ordinary people didn’t dare get close to her, let alone chat with her.Leona waited in silence; she had no interest in anyone. As soon as she saw Harvey, her face lit up in joy, like a blooming flower.“You’re here, Sir York,” she said, taking a step forward. “We’d have to cancel the event if you didn’t come. After all, what’s the point of going through it without you?”Harvey chuckled after hearing Leona’s words.“Don’t say that. Saul and Lola are the ones organizing the project. I’m just a shareholder. But since I promised to come, I’d have to do everything in my power to fulfill it, right?”Leona’s face was bright red; she was quite happy to hear Harvey’s playful words.“Right, Sir York. You can’t just leave after cutti
Harvey and Leona saw someone throwing a pair of scissors to the ground. The scissors were supposed to be used to cut the ribbon during the ceremony.Objects made out of pure gold were relatively softer. The scissors, a symbol of the project’s wealth, were destroyed instantly.A higher-up who saw it immediately walked over.“Do you think you can destroy the things here just because you’re a star? Can you compensate for the damages if the project doesn’t take off?!”Slap!A beautiful woman with gorgeous makeup and a striking figure stepped forward, and slapped the higher-up in the face.“I’ve been waiting for ten whole minutes for this event! So what if I broke your stupid scissors?” she screeched.The higher-up’s face darkened instantly. Everyone else looked at each other; they didn’t dare to stop the woman at all.The workers behind her bore pompous expressions as they watched. They looked as if the woman had done no wrong. “Golden Estate’s pretty impressive!“You’ve begged
Harvey naturally wouldn’t get involved in the situation.He nodded, and said, “Right. You go ahead.” Leona walked over before saying something to Violet. The next moment, Violet suddenly slapped Leona’s face.Harvey’s expression turned stern. When he saw that Leona only suffered a slight physical injury, he sighed in relief. Violet’s arrogant assistant glared coldly at the crowd, and said, “Leona! Casen! Every single one of you! I’m warning you!“Ms. Violet’s standing in the main spot, no matter what!“Aside from that, you’d have to pay us three times the rate!“Do that, and we’ll let go of this. “If not, we’ll make an announcement to the public immediately!“Violet’s thirty million fans could destroy all the buildings here!“Don’t even try to show off just because you have money!“How dare you get a random savage of a man to take over Ms. Violet’s place?“Keep dreaming!“Ms. Violet is a close friend to the leader of the housing department’s sales management, Amaia Sack
The assistant stood up and wiped the blood off her mouth, before screaming at Harvey, “How dare you, you bastard?! Try me again if you dare!”Slap!Harvey calmly swung the back of his palm. The assistant screamed in pain as she was sent flying again.“It’s my first time hearing such a stupid request after staying here for this long. You all saw it; she asked me to do it.”Harvey wiped his fingers, filled with utter disdain.Everyone was shocked; they didn’t know what to say as they looked at Harvey.The slaps were very refreshing to watch…However, Golden Estate was about to pay a terrible price for that. The Golden Garden project would be forced to shut down if things went south.‘Doesn’t this bastard know how to hold himself back for the greater good?‘Violet has thirty million fans and the Foster family’s support!‘There’s going to be a lot of trouble if people sent word about this!‘Violet even knows Amai, the cold-blooded killer of the housing department!”‘This is ter
The workers behind Violet looked at Harvey with disdain. In their eyes, anyone who went up against Violet would surely suffer.The more Harvey showed off, the worse he’d end up.After taking two slaps from Harvey, Paola almost broke her tooth. She glared hatefully at him. “You’ll get what’s coming for you soon! When Ms. Violet’s friend gets here, you’re dead for sure!”Harvey crossed his arms.“Hopefully the person you call won’t kneel to me immediately. It’ll be boring if that’s the case.”Paola laughed coldly while waiting for the call to pick up.“Ms. Amaia! Our people got beat up! We already told them about you, but they just didn’t care!”Paola looked as if she was an innocent lady who had been taken advantage of, running her mouth while on the verge of tears.After she hung up, she returned to the wretched expression she had before.“Just you wait!“Ms. Amaia will be here soon!“You won’t even know how you die when she gets here!”She then pointed at everyone else,
That said, Amaia was a smart person.She knew Harvey was brothers with Watson, the director of the housing department. That was why she never thought of taking revenge against him.After knowing Violet and getting close to the Foster family’s relatives, she decided to take charge of the housing department’s sales management.Safe to say, the money earned in her new occupation was way more lucrative compared to managing a mere geomancy shop.Because of that, Amaia’s beautiful face seemed a little chubbier than before.She strutted forward before exclaiming coldly, “Who’s the one provoking my friend here? Does the Golden Estate plan to shut down after this?”Amaia had a greater authority compared to her higher-ups here, since she was the one who showed up to the event. If she wanted to, she could seize entire construction companies without warning.“You’re here, Ms. Amaia! That bastard not only disrespected Ms. Violet, but he even hit me!“Look! My face is completely warped becau
Harvey’s slap rang loud and clear. Amaia’s face was completely swollen, and her head was spinning all around.Despite that, she dared not lash out.“Of course! Please go ahead!”Slap!Harvey slapped Amaia again without holding back.“A government official represents the government itself.“How are you supposed to live up to your position if you don’t fight for the people’s justice?”Slap!“You ignore the rights and wrongs and take advantage of the citizens, and yet you’re still shamelessly pulling out your credentials?”Slap!“You demand people to kneel and compensate for damages without any approval?“Who gave you the authority?”Slap!“Do you remember your lesson now?”Harvey slapped Amaia to the ground, then wiped his fingers with a calm expression.Amaia stumbled, but she had a respectful look on her face. “Of course! Thank you for your lesson!”“How is this possible?!”Violet and the others felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Some kept rubbing their eyes
The person on the other side of the phone was enraged after hearing his woman getting beat up and taken advantage of.“Heh, heh! This place is filled with scumbags after all, huh?“If anyone goes for my woman, then they must have a death wish!“I don’t care who you are, kid! Kneel and apologize, then let Violet punish you however she pleases! There’s still time!“If not, the Foster family will crush you without hesitation!”Trenton’s words were fierce, as if he was a superior being talking down to his servants. Naturally, he could crush anyone he wanted with just a single word.“You hear that? Kneel already!”Violet glared arrogantly at Harvey.“It’ll be bad for you if Young Master Trenton gets angry!”Violet was ready to ridicule Harvey, when he took a step forward.“Young Master Trenton, right?” Harvey said.“I don’t care what your relation is to the Foster family…“But let me tell you something: my name is Harvey York.“Before you decide to go against me, why don’t you
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
