“I’m sorry, Mr. Quill! This was my fault!“I apologize! I do hope that you can forgive me before you go!”Different from before, Blaine’s arrogance was replaced by a sense of humbleness. He didn’t seem like a young master at all then.Everyone was shocked, but they had to admit that it was quite impressive for him to be so flexible. Only a true elite like him could endure this much humiliation.Even Harvey started to show a playful expression when he looked at Blaine.A prideful and arrogant man would be easy to deal with, but… A flexible man who was prepared to endure any hardship would no doubt be tough to deal with.When Blaine was done apologizing, he finally stood.“We’re leaving!”He left, glaring at the group of people who came to cause trouble in the first place.“Did I say that they can leave?” Harvey exclaimed coldly.“What else do you want?!” Alani yelled.She and the rest glared furiously at Harvey. Blaine had already kneeled for their mistakes. Was Harvey actual
Blaine took a deep breath.“There’s a saying… What goes around, comes around.“It’s never too late to take revenge. I won’t let this go easily. I’ll make sure that Harvey gets the lesson he deserves.”Alani rolled her eyes at Blaine after hearing him skimping past the subject.“Why don’t you deal with him yourself, Young Master John? If you sneak up on him, he won’t know what hit him!“Of course, if you don’t want him dead, you should just go for the people around him! Not only would he suffer, but there’s also a chance he’d simply collapse!“That way, we’d win without a fight! I’ll make sure the higher-ups know of your achievements! They’ll…”Slap!Blaine swung the back of his palm across Alani’s face.She screamed in pain, and slammed into the corner of the car. Her body trembled profusely. An unspeakable force was hidden in the seemingly-simple slap.Alani covered her face with a bitter expression.“What are you doing, Young Master John?!“Don’t forget! Not only am I fro
Kairi approached Harvey and observed him up before sighing.“Thanks for everything for the past few days.“Blaine finally took action, but you managed to take him down twice. It’d be hard for you two to reconcile at this point.“Our battle with Blaine will be completely public now too.“He has Westley with him as well. He’s just a lackey for Emery, but he’s still a prominent figure who can do whatever he wants to in Wolsing.“Two slaps for two people. There’s a storm coming to Golden Sands soon enough…”Harvey put his cup down.“Isn’t this exactly what you hoped for?“The city’s situation is as clear as day. The wealthy families of Golden Sands need to pick a side now. Either the Johns keep their control, or the Patels will unite the entire city.“This is good for you, no? It’s always better to be decisive.“Things can only be handled neatly that way.”Kairi chuckled bitterly.“I do want things to end neatly… But you should know that I’m not able to take control of the situ
Blaine took a deep breath as if to calm the unusual throbbing of his body, before respectfully taking a step forward.“I’m here to see you again, Aunt.”“I told you many times, Blaine. I’m a monk now. You may call me Master Mograine.”The monk turned around before glancing at Blaine with an annoyed look. She was glaring fiercely, but her eyes were still a captivating gaze.Blaine smiled.“You’ll always be my aunt. It doesn’t matter if you’re a monk or not. This place is yours to stay for as long as you want.Master Morgraine chuckled, then rubbed Blaine’s head.“It’s been a while since you came here. Is something troubling you?”“Not only are you one of the four elders of the Immortal Pavilion, but you’re also a miracle doctor who even countless wealthy families couldn’t get,” Blaine said.“It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that you have a high status. With my identity, I wouldn’t dare show up all the time! You might just hate me if I come too much!” he added.“You’ve been a
“I hope you can use your status to have a word with Representative York. I’ll be able to apologize in person after that.“I’m being sincere, Aunt! I can take any punishment!“I just hope that Representative York can stop making things hard for the Johns… I can’t drag the family down with my mistake alone…”Blaine looked as if he was ready to change.Master Mograine slowly sat down before sipping her tea.“Representative York? The man who defeated all of India’s top talents in Flutwell? He’s in Golden Sands?”Blaine sighed.“There are things that you don’t know, since you’re secluding yourself.“Not only is he here, but he’s also been causing trouble in the entire city.“Heaven’s Gate underwent a complete change of power because of him.“He even killed Layton because of this.”Blaine casually explained everything Harvey had done in a mere few sentences. He didn’t imply anything, nor did he add his feelings into the equation; it was just a casual explanation.After a long tim
“You’re staying.”Master Mograine let out a cold chuckle.“I’m just an outsider, but my family still belongs in the world.“I haven’t left ever since I joined the sacred martial arts training ground because I couldn’t let my family go.“You people are my worst obstacles!“It’s only natural to do something for you this once.“I’ll show Representative York just how deep the waters run in Golden Sands!“Even the sacred martial arts training grounds have no choice but to humble themselves!“What’s the point of that man’s existence when all he can do is flaunt using the Martial Arts Alliance’s name?“I’ll make sure he gets a good lesson!”Blaine John gave a horrible expression.“That’s no good…“You haven’t fought in many years.“Harvey York was capable of killing Layton Surrey!“Legends say that he’s also on par with a God of War…“This is just…”Master Mograine scoffed.“Do you think I’m not capable of the same thing?”“I know you’re a God of War, but…”“There won’t be
Right as Blaine John left with the badge, Harvey York resumed his job as a geomancy expert at the Fortune Hall.Castiel Foster was already panicking since he was the only one tending to the customers.With Harvey back, the morale of the entire place was instantly raised again.After three days of peace and quiet, Kade Bolton showed a horrible expression when he came to the Fortune Hall from Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters.“This is bad, Sir York,” he said, quickly walking towards Harvey.“It’s only normal for something to happen in the city now, right?Harvey spoke while drawing up a talisman for a customer.“Did someone challenge your family?”Kade shook his head.“No, but someone was looking to cause trouble to the Pagan family.”Harvey froze. He quickly wiped his hand with wet wipes before leading Kade to the back.“Tell me more.”Harvey cut to the chase.“There’s something you don’t know, Sir York. Other than having the biggest appraisal businesses in the city, the Pagan
“That said, a woman in traditional clothing showed up at the site on an afternoon.“She easily found twelve tempest-type gems, then announced that nothing was left to find in the first batch.“Nobody believed her at first, but the next dozens of customers couldn’t even find a gem the size of their pinky!“Then, the customers stopped after that.“The next day—yesterday, the woman came again when the second batch of stones showed up.“She easily found another twelve gems before announcing the same thing.“Nobody dared to challenge her anymore.“Seventy percent of the stones that could be turned into piles of gold were instantly recognized as garbage that nobody would bother to examine.“Today’s the third day.“According to the plan, we’ll be releasing our final batch.“If that woman comes again, I’m afraid…”Arlet Pagan was helpless.It would be nothing if the woman only found a few gems; not only would it hype the atmosphere, but the customers would also be in a craze after
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
