While Harvey and Watson were talking about the Tsuchimikado family…On a highway around the city, a Toyota Alphard was slowly cruising forward. Yamato took a sip of his sake, his eyes bloodshot.In front of him, Ayaka was sitting upright with an apologetic look on her face.“It was my fault that I didn’t arrange things properly, Young Master Yamato… Please, do whatever you want with me!”Yamato looked deeply into Ayaka’s eyes before chuckling wretchedly.“You didn’t arrange things properly? I think it’s the exact opposite, right? You know I love dominating young ladies from Country H, so you arranged for Arlet to see me, didn’t you?“You wanted me to have a sour relationship with Arlet and the people behind her. Am I wrong?”Ayaka trembled in fear. She nodded, her face pale. Yamato raised her chin with a faint smile.“Not bad! As expected from an Islander. At least you can admit to the things you did.“Arlet is indeed my type. I couldn’t get my hands on her, but I’m still de
Prince seemed a lot more like an elite at the moment. Backed with Harvey’s support, he gained total control over Heaven’s Gate’s resources.The other sacred martial arts training grounds looked down on him, but he was still an outstanding man out of the younger generation. After learning Harvey’s mental cultivation technique, his martial arts skills skyrocketed immensely.With those things combined, Prince's rise to power as a God of War would surely be set in stone.Harvey smiled when he saw Prince’s respectful expression.“Not bad. I see a lot of progress in you. Still, you should be a little more high profile on doing things. If not, the rest of the sacred martial arts training grounds would be plotting against you as soon as I leave.”Harvey wasn’t joking at all.Other than pure strength and inheritance, the only reason Heaven’s Gate was able to become a sacred martial arts training ground was the countless assets it possessed.Prince only managed to rise without much resis
Harvey thought about the situation.“Sure. Since you suggested it… We’ll do it your way.“I have time today. Let’s get everyone to meet up this afternoon.“The Storm Pavilion under the Indigo Mountain would be a good spot.“I’d like to see if we’ll finally bury the hatchet or not.”Prince nodded before leaving respectfully.At four o’clock in the afternoon, Prince drove to Fortune Hall to fetch Harvey. Then, he drove to Storm Pavilion. He only had little time to prepare, but he managed to get the Storm Pavilion sealed tight.Not a single soul could be seen near the place. It was hard not to arouse suspicion, but it was obvious that Prince’s control over Heaven’s Gate was still quite decent.“You should make things a lot bigger.”Harvey calmly smiled.“You need to get everyone to see this. If you’re not pompous enough, then you’re no different from an ordinary person.”Prince chuckled awkwardly.“You’re kidding, Sir York. Mr. Darwin taught me all this.“Right, we’re meeting
After hearing Harvey York’s words, Prince Gibson was in deep thought.The stone gambling site and Yamato’s incidents…They did not seem to have any correlation except for one thing.Arlet Pagan was the main target in both incidents.It would be nothing if this were purely a coincidence, but someone had to thoroughly investigate Harvey to see if this was premeditated.“Maybe…” Prince muttered.“That’s right.Harvey cracked a smile.“People with nothing to lose don’t fear the ones with power.“It’d be way easier to crush us with outside forces instead.“I’m afraid the talk between Miles Keaton and I isn’t that simple.”Prince’s expression instantly turned dark.He only wished for the talk to go through so he could relieve Harvey from some of his pressure…But the talk seemed almost hopeless.Right when Prince secretly heaved a sigh, two people came to the Storm Pavilion.“Representative York, Mr. Prince.“Young Master Miles and Mrs. Kora have been here for more than ten m
At five o’clock in the afternoon.After their walk, Harvey York brought Prince and Shay Gibson back to the Storm Pavilion.The place had been meticulously decorated. A lot of ancient calligraphy was also hung around the place.The yellow flower pear wood couch borrowed from the Pagan family’s experts was a tasteful touch.That said, just as Shay mentioned, the place was a mess.The coffee tables were shattered to smithereens.Teacups were also scattered across the ground.Some Heaven’s Gate disciples stood on the side with completely swollen faces.Three people were sat on the couch.Other than Miles Keaton and Kora, Harvey looked at the third person.The person was an elderly man who was clearly under five feet two. He was playing with a string of onyx with an unspeakably dignified aura.It was as if he could dictate anything that would happen with his words alone.It was clear that he was none other than Kalel Hoffman himself.Other than those three, a few people in trad
“And if I say no?” replied Harvey York.“No?Kalel Hoffman gave a light chuckle.“I never service anyone for free.“If you say no, then I’ll leave right now.“Don’t blame me for what happens after this.”“Is that so?Harvey smiled before making a gesture.“You can leave now.“Though, you’d need to pay up before you do.”Everyone froze.Clearly, Kalel was about to flaunt his strength before Harvey…But he did not expect Harvey to fight back.It was safe to say that Harvey was either insane or extremely courageous.After getting a closer look, Kalel did not think Harvey was insane at all.Miles Keaton smiled profoundly.“Representative York is a stern man who never shows respect to anyone, Mr. Kalel!“With his high status, why would he admit defeat before this many people?“You should just let him be.“I’ll make sure that you’ll have an explanation for all this.”Miles spoke casually, but his words were enough to incite a fight.Kora let out a cold scoff before furio
Kora showed an arrogant expression. Naturally, having a fiance who would stand up for her was a pleasing sight.Prince and Shay Gibson’s faces instantly darkened. They did not expect Miles Keaton to be this rude when he started speaking.Kalel Hoffman curiously stared at Harvey York. He wanted to see how Harvey was planning to deal with the situation.Harvey faintly smiled when he looked at Miles.“Since you’re this generous…“I’ll also offer you a deal.“If you grovel before me and have yourself recorded for me to bring it up whenever I feel bored…“I’ll revoke the bet made between Kora and I.“I’m a man of my word.“I have a good reputation.”Harvey thought Miles and the others were planning to talk things through…But since they were still acting all high and mighty, Harvey had no intention of continuing the conversation anymore.He decided to cut to the chase.If Miles would kneel for the sake of his woman, then Harvey would happily call off the bet.But if Miles were
“Enough!Miles Keaton seemed annoyed.“Enough idle talk!“How hard is it for you to kneel and apologize?!“Can’t you just do what you’re asked and resolve the damn problem?!“If you’re only trying to save face, then it’s even simpler!“I promise nobody will know about this other than the ones present here!“I can even give you benefits!“You want money, right?“Here’s a hundred and fifty thousand!“Remember to grovel longer after taking the money!“If not, I won’t let you off the hook if my fiancee gets angry!”Miles signaled for someone from behind to bring a suitcase. It was thrown right before Harvey York after it was opened.Papers of all colors were seen inside, but they were not actual money.They were all fake.Prince and Shay Gibson were showing horrible expressions.This was utter humiliation!“I didn’t expect the Council of Myth would be this stingy to use fake money…Harvey smiled.“That said, I’m not interested since I’m honest.“How about this? I’ll get
"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
