When the car doors opened, people in Martial Arts Alliance uniforms walked out.They were all carrying swords on their backs, looking fierce.They surrounded the entire hotel, as if they were afraid of Harvey running away. The one leading the group was Rhea Osborne, the previous representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, the lady of the Osborne family.In the past, Harvey had trampled on her completely. Now, she reappeared. She had short hair, and exuded a majestic aura. Many experts from the northwest branch of the Martial Arts Alliance stood behind her.“Who are you people?” Shay asked instinctively.Slap!Rhea slapped Slay to the ground with the back of her palm without even batting an eye.Rachel recognized Rhea’s face.“Don’t you know that Sir York is staying here, Rhea?” she said coldly, taking a step forward. “Do you understand the consequences of your actions?”“Consequences?”Rhea smiled, then waved her hand. Her people instantly pulled out their firear
“Speak! Where is that bastard right now?”Rhea placed the barrel of her firearm right on top of Shay’s head.“I’ll blast your brains out if you don’t talk! I can kill you before making any sort of report in sacred martial arts training grounds, after all!”Prince quickly rushed forward. “He went to visit my father! Wait for him to come back if you dare!”Bam!Rhea instantly sent Prince flying with a single kick.“And you didn’t follow him? Who are you trying to fool here?“If I’m correct, Harvey must be hiding so he doesn’t have to attend his fight at noon…“He’s afraid of being cut down by Mr. Layton! That’s why he’s guarding the representative’s badge. He’s doing it just so he can save his own skin!“Well, that’s completely useless!“Since the leaders of the sacred martial arts training grounds have all agreed to take Harvey’s position away from him, it wouldn’t mean a thing even if he has his badge!”Rhea then looked around her.“Get out of here, Harvey!” she exclaimed c
A minute had passed, but there was still no sight of Harvey.Rhea laughed.“What a coward, that Harvey! You really think I wouldn’t take action just because you’re hiding?“Now! Cut off Prince’s hand! Let him know what happens when he joins forces with filth like Harvey!”A person showed a wretched smile when he pulled out his long sword, ready to carry out Rhea’s order.“You’re laying your fingers on my people? Who gave you the courage, Rhea?”A cold voice echoed from the entrance at this very moment.Harvey crossed his arms as he slowly walked in front of everyone. His movements weren’t fast, but every step he took exuded dignity.He squinted at the main hall. Seeing the horrible state of Shay and Prince, his gaze instantly darkened.“Sir York!” Prince exclaimed in excitement, as if he was saved.“You’ve finally shown up! I thought you learned to be a coward after coming to the Golden Sands,” Rhea sneered.Rhea wasn’t afraid of Harvey’s fierce expression at all. She believ
Harvey crossed his arms, and looked calmly at Rhea.“I fought for the title of representative myself.“You didn’t give me the title, and neither did those filthy leaders of sacred martial arts training grounds.“You want the badge back? You have no right.“Besides, you came all the way to my territory and beat up my people…“Looks like I haven’t taught you a good enough lesson back in Flutwell, huh?”Harvey spoke calmly as he glared at Rhea. Rhea exploded in anger after being reminded of what happened in Flutwell.“Heh! You think you’re actually that impressive?!”What happened in Flutwell was her biggest humiliation. Not to mention that their prince, Clyde, was disrespected by the same man!Rhea couldn’t forgive it.“Hand over the badge and kneel! Confess and grovel this instant!” she demanded, taking a step forward. “If you don’t, we’ll punch holes right into your people’s bodies! We’ll see if you’re stubborn enough to kill them or not!”Rhea waved her hand; her people p
“Aaargh!”Screams of pain were heard; the bald man rolled on the ground, twitching.His face bore a wretched expression; he was filled with disbelief, as he couldn’t believe that Harvey would actually pull the trigger.The others froze; they stared at Harvey, baffled. They didn’t understand why Harvey still dared to take action under such circumstances. They believed that he was being reckless.“Harvey York!” Rhea yelled. “How dare you do this to the people of the Martial Arts Alliance?! Do you want to die?”The people behind Rhea quickly pointed their firearms in Harvey’s direction.Bang, bang, bang!Harvey didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger again. His opponents were sent flying instantly. They held their wrists in pain.Seeing them completely defeated, Rhea’s expression worsened.“Who gave you the courage to do something like this? Don’t you know that you won’t be the only one suffering by doing this? Your entire family will join you as well!”Harvey smiled, then pointed t
“Fine. Since you like to kneel that much, then do it already,” Harvey replied.He moved his firearm, then pulled the trigger.Bang, bang!Rhea felt a sharp pain in her knees, and fell to the ground kneeling.Harvey then threw his firearm away.“Rachel,” he ordered, “take her with me to the peak of headquarters.”-Twelve o’clock at noon.Harvey took Rachel and Rhea to the peak of Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters. The place was used to organize grand events, and all sorts of battles within Heaven’s Gate would be held here. Many traces of battle along and trails of dark blood were all around. It was quite a terrifying sight.Cold wind howled. Harvey and the others reached an abandoned pagoda. Harvey crossed his arms as he looked calmly at Golden Sands and the clouds above.“You can’t kill me after all, Harvey! You’re just a coward!” Rhea screamed. “You’re scared of dealing with the consequences if you do kill me!”Rhea, whose legs were now crippled, raised her head and reveale
Harvey ignored Calvin, treating the latter as if he had no right to have his attention.Calvin chuckled wretchedly after seeing the calm look on Harvey’s face.“Right, Harvey! To thank you for such a big gift during my bachelor’s party…“I got someone to pick a tasteful coffin in the Golden Sands just for you. It’s made completely out of carbonized wood from the Northsea!“You’ll have a great time inside, I’m sure!”Calvin waved his hand; a few people of the Lowe family threw the coffin to the ground. The coffee was pure black; its gloomy-looking exterior made many people shiver.“I even picked a great spot to bury you. Your entire family will have nothing but destruction coming after that!“Right! When you die…“I won’t kill anyone that you’re close to. I’ll make their lives a living hell and watch them suffer instead!”Harvey finally raised his head to look at Calvin. “Just because of your words, the Lowe family won’t exist after this.”“Are you still pretending even right
“Keep being stubborn, Harvey!” Bryn snarled.“You’ll know what I’m capable of soon enough!“And keep your mouth clean when talking about Young Master Calvin!“He prepared a coffin and a burial spot just to keep your body intact!“Forget showing gratitude, but you’re still yapping away!“How did the country breed such an uncivilized bastard like you?!”“I don’t need the coffin. If you like it, you can hop in yourself,” Harvey replied. “I’ll find some people to bury you if you want, I guess.”“You…” Bryn was boiling with anger.Then, she remembered something.“Right! My sister went to look for you this morning. Where is she? Why isn’t she back yet?”Harvey smiled. “Your sister? Rhea? Sorry, but she’s already crippled…”“Heh! You did that?” Bryn was filled with nothing but disdain, thinking that Harvey was only capable of showing off. “My sister brought a lot of experts with her! You wouldn’t even get to lay a single finger on her! You…”Before she was done talking, Rachel mov
"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
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
