“He saved you?Rohan Hoffman gave a light chuckle.“Are you talking about your pregnancy?“What a benevolent man!”Rohan seemed like he was lost in thought.Lola Hoffman frowned.“Stop spouting nonsense.“Sir York cared for me to ensure Saul Robbins and I have a baby.“He practically saved me, didn’t he?”“Sure.Rohan clapped his hands.“That said, I brought ten well-known doctors and all sorts of medicine for you to regulate your body…“Does that count as saving you too?”“Of course, but…”“No buts.Rohan just smiled.“Since we both saved you…“His favor doesn’t matter anymore now, does it?“You’re not allowed to get involved no matter what I do.“Besides, Harvey incapacitated Kalel Hoffman. Kalel is a crucial puzzle piece for us in the underworld.“Because of him, the Hoffman family’s well-laid plans are gone! We suffered huge losses because of what he did!“I’m planning to repay the favor no matter what.“If not, how is the family supposed to survive in the und
Lola Hoffman took a deep breath before chuckling at herself.“So, you’re saying the family event is just an excuse to attack us?“Everything that we’ve discussed to work with the Patel family and the Hermit Families…“Is just wishful thinking?”Rohan Hoffman heaved a sigh.“I looked into everything you’ve told me, Lola.“Working with you people and working with the John family comes with the same benefits for the family.“Since that’s the case, I naturally have to side with Young Master John.“After all, he belongs to the top ten families.“Of course, I don’t need to side with him either…“But you can’t convince me with just your mouth now, can you?“Sometimes, the mouth down there’s a lot more convincing too…”Rohan leaned closer toward Lola with burning passion in his eyes.Lola instinctively stepped back.“Are you insane?!“I’m pregnant!”Rohan burst into laughter.“That’s right! You are!“I’ve been with countless women my whole life!“But I’ve never been with a p
Bam!The door was kicked open.Capri John came in with her arms folded before sizing up Harvey York.“My dear Sir York…“What is it that you want to complain about?”Harvey pointed at the food before him with a smile.“I know I’m the suspect, but I at least have the right to perform basic human functions, right?“How dare you treat me with food that’s been sitting out here for days?“Aren’t you scared of embarrassing yourselves?“Besides, who knows if you’ll get to keep your position when I tell everyone you’ve been torturing me like this?”“Just eat the damn thing, Harvey,” replied Capri coldly.“If you don’t want to, then just starve.“As for doing anything when you’re outside, you shouldn’t entertain that thought.“Do you think you’ll have a chance to get out after coming in?”Harvey merely shrugged.“I can get out whenever I want to.”“That’s right. You represent the country’s Martial Arts Alliance.Capri gave a cold chuckle.“I wouldn’t be able to do much if you’
Capri John showed a look of admiration.“Impressive. I didn’t expect you’d be able to remain calm under these circumstances.“Your title’s well-deserved, I see.”Harvey York smiled.“You and I both know that Kalel Hoffman being disabled has nothing to do with me.“No matter what Rohan brings as evidence, there’ll surely be faults in all of them.“Since that’s the case, I’ll just have to deal with him before demanding the police for an explanation. You’ll beg me to leave after that.“Why would I waste my trump card on something like this?”Capri froze before showing an intense look.“Are you that confident that no one can deem you guilty?”“Country H is a lawful place.“No matter how strong your family is, can you outmatch the law and the royal court?“If you play by the rules, I wouldn’t mind playing along either.“But if you try to go above the law…“I’ll just have to destroy the family once and for all.”Harvey’s calm words made Capri’s heart skip a beat.For some rea
Half an hour later, the interrogation room was filled with steaming hot dishes.All sorts of colorful foods were seen inside.Other than that, various teas were placed around as well.Harvey York casually picked up his utensils before digging in on the food.After filling his stomach to the brim, Harvey squinted at the man in a white shirt.He was none other than Blaine John himself.He was probably the only person who could make the new first-in-command of Golden Sands Police Station this obedient.“How calm, Sir York.“You’re already a prisoner here, yet you’re having such a good meal.“Judging from this, you are doing a lot better than me …”Harvey casually took a sip of tea before looking curious.“Who said that I’m a prisoner?“I’m just a suspect. If Rohan doesn’t find anything concrete after forty-eight hours, I’d be able to leave.“Why should I have to worry then?“I’ll just pretend I’m here for a short vacation.“There’s been a lot going on in the city anyway. It
Blaine John showed an invigorating smile after seeing Harvey York’s expression change.He wiped the corner of his mouth with some tissue before speaking.“Judging from the look on your face, I’d say that crushing someone’s spirits is a lot more effective sometimes.“No wonder you prefer to do things this way.“I should learn from you more.”Harvey squinted.“Aren’t you scared of me slapping you in the face for saying this?”“Slap me?Blaine let out a chuckle.“Do you even dare?“If you do, you’d have to stay here for a few more days.“After all, it’s a huge crime to hit someone in a place like this!“Your title as the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance won’t save you here.”Then, Blaine leaned in toward Harvey with a smirk.“Come on! Hit me!“I’m right here! Do you dare?!“If not, as long as you kneel before me…“I’ll consider telling Capri to release you. How does that sound?”Blaine beamed confidently.Naturally, he believed that Harvey would not
Blaine John swatted Harvey York’s hand away before squinting at him.“Do you even have proof?“I’m afraid you can’t use our conversation as proof now, can you?“Without that, how do you prove that I asked you to hit me?“Is anyone even going to believe you?”Harvey pointed at Capri with a faint smile.“I have proof right here.”Blaine instinctively frowned.“Are you insane?! If you want me to testify, I…”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Capri’s face before she was even done speaking.“Did I ask you to speak?”Capri was filled with disbelief. She did not expect Harvey to dare hit her under such circumstances.Then, Harvey stepped forward before patting Blaine’s face.“You know full well who I am.“Other than the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, I’m also Longmen’s young master.“I have a nominal title, but I also have immense authority.“If you want to play by the rules, I’ll oblige.“But if you’re going to be unreasonable, then I ca
Half an hour later, Harvey York appeared in front of the police station.Even Blaine John, a high and mighty figure, knew this.Since Harvey revealed his identity as Longmen’s young master, the government had no choice but to stop making things more complicated for him.Besides, the evidence would not even do anything since Harvey did nothing wrong.Fabricating evidence against the young master of Longmen was indeed a huge crime.The master of Longmen was not an easygoing man either.Blaine had no choice but to take the slap…Unless he was ready to fight to the death.He believed that it was not the time for that yet.A Lamborghini was parked on the side of the road before the entrance.Harvey casually walked up to the passenger’s seat before seeing Kairi Patel reapplying her makeup while heaving a sigh.“As expected of you, Sir York.“I was wondering how I could bail you…“I didn’t expect you’d come out alone.”Kairi put her lipstick down before walking toward Harvey. Th
"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
